The first time she comes barreling into the house like the devil’s on her heels, he’s on his feet with his gun in hand at once, stepping between her and the door, sure an intruder is about to burst through after her. He readies himself for a fight, already planning how to get an attacker out of the house and away from Ellie. And then he hears her laughing. He turns to see her, panting and sweaty, laid out on the floor like she’s a rug, her face practically glowing with the force of her smile. She lifts both hands to the air in fists and cheers. “What are you doing,” he asks, but the question comes out flat in light of his confusion. He gives the door one more look, but no intruder is imminent, and he holsters his gun, going to one knee beside Ellie, still on her back, breathing hard. “I beat it!” She says, clearly proud about whatever the hell she’s talking about. “Beat what?” He asks. “Curfew!” She nearly crows. He blinks. It’s possible they’ve had a misunderstanding about what exactly a curfew is. (some sweet settling in together fluff with just a smidge of feels for flavor)
