The Babysitter (a Last of Us fanfic) pt. 3

Title: The Babysitter Fandom: The Last of Us Rating: Explicit Characters & Pairings: Joel Miller x Reader Word Count: ~2000 Summary: Playing house with Joel is not all it's cracked up to be. As always, lovingly beta-read by @bs-fangirl. Additional content notes below the cut

Content Notes & Warnings: mentions of assault, depression, p-in-v sex, & violence.

I consider my personal brand to be "All your faves want to fuck fat chicks" but the post-apocalyptic setting makes that harder to convey. Given that the diet culture of the 90s and early 2000s fucked us all, be on the lookout for body talk and mentions of disordered eating.

Atlanta 2007

It was a miracle you were alive. That was what the doctors said when Joel and Tommy managed to find a FEMA clinic nearly 48 hours later. The bullet had hit Joel first, just grazing him, but slowed down enough that when it struck you the impact didn’t send you into cardiac arrest. It entered a few inches below your right shoulder, missing the lung, the subclavian artery, and the bundle of nerves controlling your arm, and exited the top of your chest before lodging in Sarah’s stomach where it tore her apart from the inside. Some miracle.

The clinic doctors decided to send you to Dallas by helicopter, where there was supposed to be a working trauma center. Of course, by the time you got there everything had gone to shit. But the fluids and antibiotics they had already pumped into you kept you stable. You hunkered down for a few weeks until Joel and Tommy decided it was safe to move you.

From there you headed east, eventually making your way to a refugee camp in Atlanta. It was a fucking mess–most folks had fled their homes without gathering important documents, but the bureaucrats were still insisting on trying to verify peoples’ identities. The people outside were begging and bribing for someone to vouch for them.

With Tommy being military, the government knew everything down to what underwear he had on; Joel managed to hang on to his wallet so thankfully he still had photo ID.

“This is my daughter,” he said, pushing you in front of him at the gate. “Sarah.”

The powers that be immediately pressed Tommy into service helping to control the crowds and guard supplies, leaving you and Joel to get settled into one of the canvas tents on site. It wasn’t much, but you had a cot, a toothbrush, and a bar of soap, which was quite a bit more than you had arrived with.

“Why’d you tell them I was your daughter?” you asked.

“Because I’m pretty sure it’s still frowned upon for grown men to be traveling with a random teenage girl,” Joel replied gruffly. “It’s just temporary.”

But after four years this temporary stopover looked more and more like home and you felt more like a mother than daughter: washing, mending, cooking when there was food which there usually wasn’t. You had lost more weight than was probably safe, but you weren’t quite as rail-thin and sallow as most of the other evacuees haunting the camp.

Still, you regretted all the time you had spent starving yourself when there was plenty of food around, desperate to shrink down to nothing. Your body had kept you alive in impossible circumstances and you had promised yourself you would do what you had to to take care of it.

With Joel, it was a different story. About a month into your stay at the camp, a man whistled at you in the breadline for weekly rations of beans and government cheese. It was so strange and unexpected that you didn’t even realize it had happened until Joel had jumped the guy.

“Stop it!”” you screamed, helping two other guys pull him off. “You’ll kill him! Daddy!”

Even after one of the guards slammed his rifle into the back of Joel’s neck, he still wasn’t satisfied.

“I’ll kill you, you son of a bitch! She’s mine! I’ll fucking kill you!”

The guards probably would have hanged them both if not for Tommy running interference, but that didn’t keep Joel from picking fights wherever he could. He had a death wish and that made him dangerous.

Losing Sarah had broken something inside of him, how could it not. Keeping you and Tommy safe had kept him grounded for a while, but now that things were (relatively) stable, he had no reason to keep going. You sympathized, of course, with the unfathomable grief of losing a child. That didn’t mean you were content to stand by while he self-destructed.

It was past noon and Joel was asleep, passed out, you realized as your toe connected with the bottle that had rolled under his cot.

“Get up,” you said, pushing on his back. “Laundry day. Get up.”

Joel grunted, balling up under the blanket.

“Well that’s just great,” you said. “You want to drink a week’s worth of rations in one afternoon, fine. But if you think I’m gonna let you get a staph infection from sleeping in the same filthy clothes for weeks, you’ve got another thing coming.”

You grabbed the corner of the blanket and pulled with all your might. Joel fought you, growling and thrashing, but ultimately you managed to wrestle it away. Joel harumphed and turned over in bed. You threw the blanket into the laundry basket and stormed out of the tent.

Tommy was on rounds and you passed him on your way to the little stream that ran through the east side of camp.

“You need to talk to him,” you said. “Cause I am at the end of my rope.”

Joel had been shutting down for weeks and things seemed to be getting worse and worse. You knew he wished you had died instead of Sarah. As if it wasn’t bad enough that you'd always be left to wonder if you hadn’t turned around when you did, would that bullet have passed through Sarah and killed you. You would have taken her place if you could. This wasn’t the life any of you would have wished for, but this was the life you had.

“Cut him some slack,” Tommy said. “Birthdays and anniversaries are always rough.”

“I’m sorry,” you said, as Tommy walked with you toward the edge of camp. “I’m sorry. I can’t imagine how hard this has been for you–I know how much you loved Sarah and we can’t even talk about her.”

Tommy shrugged. “You compartmentalize. Deal with it when it’s safe.”

“So never?”

“That’s the job,” Tommy said.

You shook your head. “The job sucks. And we still need to figure out what we’re going to eat this week. I already traded my last tampon for the month.”

“Don’t tell me that,” Tommy chuckled. “I don’t need to know that.”

“Yeah, well, I figured your back was getting tired from carrying us,” you teased.

Tommy waved you off, jogging back to his post before his C.O. noticed he was gone.

You sat down by the river, sprinkling your weekly allotment of laundry powder onto the stones. Having to do all the scrubbing manually certainly gave you time to think. When weekly assignments came around, you usually asked to be on the cleaning crew–it wasn’t a desirable chore, but you liked knowing that the communal showers and horrible pit latrines you had to use were as sanitary as possible. Besides, as long as you weren’t greedy you could get away with pocketing extra hand sanitizer and disinfectant–that shit was better than gold around camp.

But FEDRA was trying to get a factory up and running about a mile outside camp, hard work, double shifts, and shit pay. But there were fringe benefits for those willing to take the risk. This dude called Axel had a pot farm on the other side of the fence. He was always looking for people dumb enough or desperate enough to move his product–they were always getting caught at the gate.

So you wrung out and hung the laundry and marched down to the big house to sign up for the next truckload of workers leaving camp.

You worked the graveyard shift, and made it back through the gate the next afternoon with half a kilo of weed in the hidden pocket you had sewed into the lining of your jacket. As you suspected, the guards were more interested in groping your breasts and between your legs during their pat-down. You headed back to your tent with the most money you had ever held in your hands–before the outbreak or after.

Your euphoria at your success was only somewhat diminished by the realization that Joel and Tommy had spent the morning tearing the camp apart looking for you.

“Where the hell have you been?” Joel said. He looked frantic, disheveled, cold sweat, the works.

“Working,” you said, digging the wad of ration cards out of your bra and handing it over to Tommy. “Maybe you can find us some real food now.”

“Jesus, kid,” Tommy said, flipping through the cards. “Where’d you get this?”

“Why? They’re good, aren’t they?”

You toed off your shoes and pulled off your sweatshirt as you came into the tent.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Joel followed after you, wiping a hand across his forehead. “We’ve been worried sick–thinking you were dead in a ditch somewhere, or worse–and that’s all you have to say for yourself?”

“Can we have this conversation later,” you groaned, shimmying out of your bluejeans and collapsing on your cot. “I’m exhausted.”

When you finally woke, Joel was sitting on the folding chair beside your cot.

“So what are you a whore now?”

“Jesus Christ, Joel,” you groaned, sitting up, pulling the thin blankets up around you. “Does it fucking matter?”

You had considered sex work, but the truth was there wasn’t much of a market for it. Assault was more common than toilet paper in the camp–there was hardly a woman who hadn’t been groped (or worse) or a man that hadn’t been mugged for that matter. You figured the only reason you had been spared so far was that Tommy and Joel were so fucking scary.

“Yeah, it fucking matters, Sweetpea,” he growled. You had never seen him angry before, not like this. You would have been terrified if you weren’t so goddamn tired.

“I am responsible for you.”

“Oh, spare me the sanctimonious bullshit,” you said. “I’m not a child. I am grown. I’m certainly not your daughter.”

“You think I don’t know that!” Joel grabbed you by the chin. You met his gaze; for a moment, you weren’t sure if he wanted to hurt you or something else.

“Prove it,” you said, the corner of your mouth lifting into a sneer. “I fucking dare you.”

In the space of a breath, Joel had crushed his mouth against yours. You moaned against his lips, leaning back in bed, but Joel held the back of your neck, keeping you close. You put your hands on his face, running your fingers into his hair.

Joel climbed on top of you in bed, the thin mattress sagging under your combined weights. He sat up long enough to unbuckle his belt and paused.

“Say yes,” he instructed, leaning down, planting his lips in the space where your jaw met your neck.

You sighed, gripping his shoulder, turning your face to expose your neck to him.

“You have to say yes.”

“Yes,” you breathed, pulling your ratty t-shirt off over your head and dropping it on the floor.

Joel pulled down his jeans and ran his hands down your back, looping them into your panties, pulling them down. You kicked them off to hook your ankles behind Joel’s thighs as he kissed your throat.

He pressed into you all at once; you were so exhilarated you hardly felt anything. Then pressure and a sharp tug behind your pelvic bone as he withdrew and pushed deeper. You gripped his arms and squeezed your knees into his sides.

“Good?” he asked, kissing and sucking a trail down your chest, grazing the mounds of your breasts with his teeth.

You took a few deep breaths and relaxed your face which had tightened into a grimace.

“It’s a lot,” you said, running your hands down his back.

“I know,” Joel breathed. “I know, Sweetpea. I got you.”

Joel moved one hand between your legs, to the bundle of nerves at the peak of the wishbone where your bodies met, massaging in circles with his rough fingers. You felt something coiling inside you, hot and tight. You arched into him.

“That’s better?”

“Mmhm.” You nodded, relaxing your thighs. “That’s nice.”

Joel moved against you, hips flicking up into the bowl of your pelvis as he massaged you. He cupped one breast with his spare hand, pressing his mouth over the other, tongue circling the sensitive nipple.

“That’s nice.”

He bucked into you harder; you bit your lip to stifle a cry. You could feel the knot in your belly spreading, unfolding. Your body stiffened and relaxed and with a low moan, Joel dropped his weight onto you, tired and spent.

You felt your heart rate slow and your breath grew deeper. Joel rested his head on your chest and you ran your fingers through his hair. You noticed it was damp and smelled faintly of mint.

“Did you shower?”

Joel nodded, his beard rubbing against your skin. You smiled.

“You do listen to me.”

“Mmhm.” You ran your hands over Joel’s shoulder girdle; felt the tight knots of muscle relax under your touch.

Joel’s lips found the ragged scar under your collarbone where the bullet had left your body. He kissed the scar gently, running his fingertips over it. For an instant you felt like he was worshiping you, in awe of you. And you marveled at your own sweet self for being able to give such pleasure.

“Don’t ever scare me like that again,” Joel said. You pressed your eyes closed.

“I may not have a choice,” you sighed. “Axel wants me to do another run at the end of the week–I don’t think he’ll take no for an answer.”

“I’ll take care of it,” he said.

After a moment, Joel rose from the bed, pulling on his pants as you pulled the blankets up over you.

“What are you going to do?” you said.

“I said I’d take care of it,” he repeated.

“Joel,” you warned. “You can’t narc on him…you can’t kill him. Don’t kill him, Joel. Please.”

“Don’t worry,” he said, leaning over to kiss your cheek. “Eat something. Tommy brought you peanut butter.”

You had half a mind to try and stop him from leaving, but who could resist peanut butter.

Dining Virtually

The way we purchase food from restaurants has changed considerably in recent years. The standard dine-in or takeaway, and sometimes a pizza delivered to your doorstep, have been rattled by the arrival of third-party delivery services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and more. DoorDash leads the roster with 66% market share.

But it is not just delivery that has changed the landscape, all fueled by mobile apps and digital marketing. Restaurants have added their own twist to the saga with virtual brands. These show up on apps as nearby restaurants, but you would be hard-pressed to find them in real life, because there are no signs announcing their presence.

No, they exist only online and in a kitchen known by a different name.

Many of the big chains are doing it, like Chili’s (Brinker), Hooters, Outback (Bloomin’ Brands), Applebee’s, and Wingstop. Even children’s party palace Chuck E. Cheese does it, with their Pasqually’s Pizza.Imagine learning the next day that the pizza you had delivered last night actually came from Chuck E. Cheese. Yuck.

Denny’s has also ventured into these waters with Banda Burrito, The Melt Down, and The Burger Den. And now it has inked a deal with third-party facilitator The Franklin Group to expand these concepts across 250 franchisees in the Denny’s system.

To be fair, there has been a small shakeout in the virtual brands sector of late, with Red Robin terminating its concepts and sticking solely to its main brand. But that is not unusual in any industry for weaker concepts to be shed, and new ones to replace them.

Virtual brands allow a restaurant chain to make better use of under-utilized facilities, especially during parts of the day in which customer traffic may sag. Having complementary products can help fill out those peaks and valleys.

They also allow restaurants to test new menu items or concepts, as well as serve different markets. But in many cases, the product is pretty much the same as if you went to Hooters or Chili’s. It’s just in a different package.

Some might consider it disingenuous, even misleading, for a restaurant to employ virtual brands. Essentially, it could be considered as smoke and mirrors, and perhaps problematic if different pricing strategies are used for identical products. Imagine if CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies did that. There would be riots.

The range of food items falling into the virtual brands category is somewhat narrow, typically limited to pizzas, burgers, and wings. These travel well with readily available packaging. While the courier services will attempt to deliver just about anything—including menu items that might seep, spill, or swish around en route—it just makes matters easier if there is some standardization.

Virtual brands are not to be confused with ghost kitchens, although there could be an overlap in some instances. Essentially, a ghost kitchen is a commercial-grade kitchen at which multiple brands are prepared on shared facilities. There are variations on this as well, such as the one in Atlanta owned by Inspire Brands, and featuring the brands under its corporate umbrella, including Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John’s, and Sonic Drive-In. DoorDash also owns ghost kitchens, which it typically leases to local mom-and-pop operators, and with whom it has exclusive delivery rights.

And if you are wondering, a food hall is kind of the same concept as a ghost kitchen, with shared food prep facilities among numerous small food service operators. It’s just that it is all visible to consumers.

Meanwhile, virtual brands continue to proliferate, much like craft breweries. They satisfy our urgings for something different. In the case of Denny’s and its burrito, burger, and patty melt brands, the food may be much the same as what you would order off the standard menu, but at least it sounds different.

You just didn’t know it. Until now.
