(MINI RECAP)"What the fuck is going on in here!" Maria yelled as she barges in seeing Dina bent over the couch with you still inside her....
Startled by Marias sudden intrusion, Dinas eyes widen in shock, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson as she realises the compromising position she's in. "M-Maria! Oh god, I..." Dina stammers, struggling to sit up and cover herself with her hands, still disheveled and panting from her intense orgasm. "Shit! We didn't expect anyone to.." Dina trails off, unable to meet Maria's gaze as she feels your softening cock slip out of her. followed by a trickle of their combined fluids. "God, fucking teenagers." Maria says as she slams the door. "Im going to have to tell joel about this." She yelled out to them. Dina covers her face with her hands, completely mortified by the prospect of joel finding out about her illicit encounter with you. AKA His god damn son."No,Please.Maria! Not joel!" she begs maria with fearful eyes begging silently for discretion. "We were just... caught up in the moment. It won't happen again we swear." Dina says glancing nervously over at you, who is currently rushing/struggling to get your pants on. your face a mask of guilt and embarrassment. "Please dont tell dad maria. We really are sorry." You plead. You guys hear marias footsteps recede down the hall. Dina leans into you and whispers urgently into your ear, "Y/N, we have to quickly get cleaned up and dressed. If Maria tells joel, he'll never let either of us live this down. We'll never hear the end of it." She says as you teo start frantically gathering your scattered clothes, you both shaking as you try to compose yourselves. "God dads gonna absolutely lecture the fuck out of us." You say putting your boxes back on. Dina nods solemnly, slipping on her panties and bra while keeping an eye on the door. "I know, its going to be a nightmare"
Dina follows you out of the room, you both taking a moment to collect yourselves before rejoining the rest of the party. Sarah (your older sister/joel's daughter) spots you two walking out of a room together both looking insanely guilty. "Where the hell were you guys? oh my god... haha you two totally fucked didnt you?!" she smirked at you guys as she ran over to you. You and Dina both blush furiously, your eyes darting around the room as they both try to avoid drawing attention to themselves. Sarah couldn't wipe the smug look off her face still in disbelief that her friend and her brother finally hooked up. "about time." whispered sarah to herself. "shut up. Nothing happened, ok." you blush at your sister trying to act like you weren't lying but doing an awful job at it. "Oh bullshit! you two totally fucked. Its written all over your faces." Sarah laughs as she looks down at your unone fly smirking, "You also left some uh evidence little bro," She laughs as she walks away. You look down embarrassed and zip it up trying to act like nothing happened.
As the party quiets down and everyone is starting to clear out, you and Dina are making your way back to your house when you both suddenly see joel sitting on the porch. "Y/N, DINA A WORD PLEASE!." he yells out. You swallow hard, your hearts racing at the sight of joel's stern expression. "Whats up dad? We were uh just heading home..." you say as both you and DIna try to play it cool. Joel just shook his head. "cut the act you two. Maria told me everything." Dina just looks at you then back at joel, feeling the weight of their predicament settle heavily upon her shoulders. "please joel, you have to understand... we were just swept up in the heat of the moment ok. we both just a few to many to drinks and things just got a bit out of control..." Dina blurts out. She bites her lip, bracing herself for the consequences. You hold your breath, praying that your dad will show some mercy and understanding. Joel just lets out a sigh as he rubs his temple. "Calm down im not mad i just... *sighs again* please just be careful ok. I get you guys are that age now and there's not much i can do about it. Just please be safe about it." You both let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you dad, we promise we'll be more mindful in the future." Dina says grateful for his understanding. You just smile weakly and awkwardly embarrassed that 1 you got caught and 2 . the fact that your having this conversation with your dad of all people. "Well you guys better go and shower you guys reek of sex and booze." Joel jokes trying to lighten the mood. You two just laugh awkwardly, feeling a mix of embarrassment and amusement at joel's blunt comment. "Yeahhh, uh probably a good idea." you say scratching the back of your head nervously glancing over to Dina, who is chuckling, the tension in the air beginning to melt away. "Ok well good night dad." you say as you both start to walk off towards your house. "well that went better than expected." Dina whispered to you a bit shocked. "Yeah, i thought for sure dad would be furious." You giggle also still in a bit of shock.
As you guys reach the house unlocking the door, Dina cant help but smile up at you feeling a renewed sense of closeness and affection towards you. You lead her inside, both eager to wash away the remnants of their passion and start fresh, well at least until the next time temptation gets the better of them. You head to the bathroom starting the shower and getting in. Dina strips off her clothes and hops in with you, sighing contently as the warm water cascades over her skin. "Mmm, perfect." Dina says as she reaches for the shampoo, massaging it into her hair as she watches you. "So, how long do you reckon this...*points between you and her* will stay between just us?" "Ha the whole town probably already knows, thanks to my sister and her big mouth." you laugh. Dina jokingly groans while running her fingers through her wet hair in exasperation. "yeah, you're probably right. Sarah cant keep a secret to save her life." Dina says laughing softly, shaking her head as she hops out of the shower, reaching for a towel to dry off. "Although, maybe we could use this as an opportunity to... clarify things maybe? you know between us." She continues as she wraps the towel around her body, looking at you with a hint of vulnerability and longing. "I don't want any misunderstandings or regrets. I care about you Y/N. Probably more than i should." Dina says. She bites her lip, nervously waiting for your response as she dries off and starts getting dressed in your clothes that you got out for her. "As do I Dina, I've been feeling this way for a while now." you say as you finish washing the sex of your body. Dina just smiles warmly, feeling a surge of happiness and comfort at your admission. "Oh Y/N, I'm so glad were on the same page. *kisses him on the lips* Because, well honestly i don't think i could handle it if you didn't feel the same way." She smiles wrapping her arms around your waist and pressing her cheek against your damp chest. Nuzzling inro him, inhaling the scent of the soap and musk, letting it ground her after the whirlwind of emotions and physical intimacy you'd both experienced tonight. "Soo.. what do you say dina, want to be my girlfriend?" you ask looking down at her as she looks up at you with her eyes sparkling with affection and love. "Sounds good to me" Dina says giving you another kiss.
You guys get changed and ready for bed. As you pull on the covers dina snuggles up to you yawning, "goodnight Y/N thanks for a great night." "Any time." you say kissing her on the forehead.
A COUPLE HOURS LATER
Joel slightly opens the door to check on you and just quietly smiles to himself leaning on the door frame as he sees you with dina cuddled up into your side with your chin resting on her shoulder. He just stands there for a little while thinking about how fast you guys have grown up and reminiscing the good old days when you two were little kids. "goodnight kiddos." he whispers smiling to himself as he closes the door behind him heading of to his bed for the night.
TO BE CONTINUED....
Dina walks into the party, her eyes widening as she takes in the scene before her. The main hall is filled with people laughing,chatting, and drinking. Music plays from a corner where a makeshift DJ setup is going strong, the beat pulsating through the air. She spots you from across the room, looking reeeally nice in that outfit. Her gaze lingers appreciatively before she shakes off the distraction and focuses on mingling with the crowd making her way over to the bar, ordering a neat whiskey from the bartender. As she awaits her drink she cant help but watch you as you talk with jesse. Admiring every aspect of you. Dina finishes her drink and heads over to the dance floor, losing herself in the rhythm of the music. she spins and twirls, her movements fluid and carefree as she lets go of her inhibitions. Sweat glistens on her skin, accentuating her toned physique as she dances. Her hair flies wildly around her face, and you can hear her laughter echo through the hall, infectious and joyful. As the night draws on, Dina finds herself drawn to the fan, seeking refuge from the heat of the dance floor. As she leans against the stone wall to catch her breath, she cant help but survey the room looking for you. Then she overhears your comment to jesse. "I give it a week and you guys will be back together." Dina comes over and takes your cup out of your hand shotting it. "He wishes." Dina responds to the your comment. "Come on hot stuff." She says as she drags you onto the dance floor away from jesse. "Don't stay out to late, you have patrol tomorrow!" yells jesse to you and dina. "Yes sir." Dina says jokingly salluting. Then with a burst of energy, dina grabs your arms "come on, Y/N! Dance with me!" Her voice is a husky whisper, filled with a drunken desire. Slow music starts to play around you, the fairy lights shining in the background. Dina grabs your hands placing them on her waist, then leans into you, her head resting on your chest. You start getting nervous. "Everyones looking at you." you whisper to dina. Dina can no longer fight the tension and feelings she's felt for you for so long anymore. "I think they're staring at you Y/N. I think they're all jealous of you." Dina whispers into your ear. "I'm no threat." You say quietly looking around anxiously. Dina leans in closer, her warm breath tickling your ear as she whispers,"Oh, Y/N. I think they should be terrified of you." Dina tilts her head, capturing your lips in a passionate, drunken kiss. She breaks the kiss, panting softly as she looks up at you with lust filled eyes. "Y/N, I.. i've wanted you for so long." She grips your shirt, pulling you flush against her. "Can't you tell" she says as she cups your face in her hands, her thumbs brushing over your cheekbones. "Im tired of fighting these feelings." DIna says as she leans in again, her lips hovering a hairs breath from yours. "Please, kiss me again. show me you want me too." she whispers. you lean in embracing her again in a tender passionate kiss. one that you've both been waiting and longing for. You both break apart. Then a moment of realisation hits you. "What about jesse?" you say having a sudden tang of guilt. Dina just shakes her head, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. "Jesse? He's just a distraction. A fleeting pleasure that never truly satisfies. Look me and jesse... we tried over and over again we are too different we both want different things out of life, it was never gonna work out between us. No matter how hard we both tried we just kept bumping heads." dina captures your mouth in another searing kiss, her tongue delving deep to claim every inch of you. "Forget about him. Right now its just you and me, and you make me burn in everyway possible. in ways jesse could never." Dina whispers that last part in your ear.
A FEW MORE BEERS AND SONGS LATER
DIna loses herself in the rhythm as the music amps up. Her body starting to grind against yours as the music pulses through her veins. "Damn dina." You say a bit shocked by her boldness but you enjoy it. Dina moans quietly losing herself in the feeling, her hands roaming over your back and shoulders. "I need you Y/N. I need you right here right now." Dina moans as she tries to pull you towards the nearest exit. You can see the desperation that is etched on her face. "Let's get out of here. I don't care if anyone sees us, I just need to feel you inside me." She continues as she pulls you into another room where no one else is. As she closes the door she kisses you fiercely, her teeth nipping at your lower lip. Panting heavily, dina pushes you against the wall, her hands fumbling with the buttons of your jacket. "Hurry Y/N... I cant wait any longer." Dina moans impatiently as she rips open your shirt, sending buttons flying as she exposes your chest to her eager gaze. "Fuck" she moans under her breath looking you up and down. Dina begins to attack your neck with kisses, her nails raking down your abdomen as she works to free you from your pants.
"Mmm, d-dina. Dina wait." you say trying to catch your breath. "your drunk." Dina just ignores your protests, too far gone in her lust fueled haze. "Shh, just shut up and fuck me,Y/N." She fumbles with your belt, finally managing to unbuckle it, pulling your pants down around your ankles. "Holy fuck Y/N." She says sensually as she wraps her hands around your hardening member, giving it a few slow strokes. "your bigger than i expected." She says. You moan a little as she guides the tip to her dripping entrance, also moaning as she feels the heat of your arousal against her sensitive flesh. "Oh f-fuck dina." you moan at the intense feeling. With a swift forceful motion, she impales herself on your length, crying out in ecstasy as you fill her up completely. You both moan both overcome by the waves of pleasure pulsating through both of you. Dina starts rocking her hips, riding you with wild abandon, her juices coating your shaft with each thrust. "OH harder Y/N! fuck me harder!" Dina whines throwing her head back. her brown eyes glazed over with pleasure as she chases her climax. "OH YES DINA!" you yell as her walls clench around you as both teeter on the edge of orgasm. "OH YES! DONT STOP Y/N... IM SO S SO CLOSE..." Dina tries to say between moans struggling to get words out. You pound your hips against hers, the sound of skin slapping echoes around the room as you both race towards you peaks. "Fill me up, baby... I-i want to f-feel you cum.. mmm.. d-deep inside me..." Dina moans. A couple more thrust and dina lets out a keening cry as she shatters. Her inner muscles convulsing around your thickness as massive waves of intense pleasure crash over her. You pull out of her slowly. Dina weakly protests, her legs trembling and her vison blurring as she tries to steady herself. "N-no, Wait... I-I need more.." She reaches for you, desperate to feel your heat once again, "please, Y/N." Dina whimpers, her chest heaving as she looks at you with pleading eyes, her body aching for you. Hearing her beg like that brings something out of you as you tear and completely rip Dinas shirt off. You turn her around and bend and fuck her over the couch. Dina Gasps and moans as you thrust taken aback by your sudden shift but is even more turned on by it. "Ahhhh, fuck yes! Use me Y/N! Use me however you want!" She moans a bit out of breath, Arching her back, she presents herself to you. Her pussy still slick and ready for your possession, "Oh Yes! Fill me up Y/N, mark me as yours.." Dina moans even louder as you plunge into her, the couch creaking beneath the frenzied coupling. Dina climbs onto the couch now laying on her back as she spreads her legs wider for you as she braces herself against the soft surface. "Harder! Pound me like you mean it!" dinas screams throwing her head back, her breasts bouncing with each powerful thrust as you rut into her. "oh god im gonna cum!" you moan out. Dina is also close, her inner walls fluttering and squeezing around your pistoning member. "Make me scream your name.Y/N! Claim me as yours!!" she cant help nut scream in ecstasy as she reaches her climax for the second time, her body shaking violently as waves of pleasure crashes over her.
Meanwhile out on the dance floor Maria stands in the corner just smiling and enjoying watching everyone in jackson so happy and for a moment just forgetting how hard life is at the moment. then suddenly her ears peek up. Maria can hear some strange noises coming from the other room. She follows the noise as she leaves the dance floor and enters the hall she swears she can hear moaning and skin slapping sounds over the music. 'wtf' she thinks.
Back in the room dina is still in the midst of her explosive orgasm, Her cries echo through the building. growing louder and more wanton with each passing moment. " YES, YES, FUCK! OH FUCK! Y.N!!!!!" She screams as her Pussy clenches rhythmically around your cock, milking you for every drop of your essence as she rides out the intensity of her climax. "OH SSSSSHHIT!!! IM CUMMING!!!" You yell out not being able to hold back any longer. "yes give it to me baby... fill me up..." dina moans quietly into your ear.
Outside the room Marias concern grows as she approaches the room, Dinas screams can be heard even over the loud music. "Y/N! OH MY GOD YES!!! FILL ME UP!!" Dinas cries are raw and primal, maria can hear them echoing off all the walls as she places her hand on the door handle. "OOOOOOHHHH FFFFFFUUCK!!!" you yell as you cum undone inside her. 'omg is that Y/N in there too!' Maria thinks to herself with shock plastered all over her face. you moan As your body shakes and convulses into dina, dina can feel your hot cum spilling deep inside her, her body quivers and shutters, her pussy milking every your cock for every last drop as she rides out the final waves of her climax. "Ohh... fuck Y/N." she says panting heavily as she collapses onto the couch, her limbs splayed out in a debauched display of post-sex bliss. "That.. that was incredible." Dina pants, her voice husky and satisfied.
Just as you are about to pull out of dina maria opens the door. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE??" Maria yells seeing Dina naked on the couch with you still inside her with your pants down by your ankles.
TO BE CONTINUED...
"Hey, Y/N get up! we've got patrol." Dina knocks on the door of the garage you live in. "Oh shit hang on!!" you yell out as you rush your pants on, tripping over yourself and landing on the ground with a loud thud. "FUCK!" Dina opens the door chuckling. "haha easy there tiger, no need to break an ankle." She smirks playfully eyeing your disheveled state. "I've seen you handle infected without batting an eye, but apparently putting on pants is whole nother beast entirely, huh?" she teases gently while leaning against the doorframe. "haha" you say sarcastically. Dina steps inside closing door behind her watching amused as you struggle with your pants, a smirk playing on her lips. "careful now, wouldn't want you flashing the whole of jackson." She steps closer, reaching out to steady you. "here let me help with that." Her hands hands brush against your bare skin as she assists in pulling up your pants, fingers lingering perhaps a moment longer than necessary. "there we go, all dressed and ready to face whatever horrors await us beyond these walls." She grins giving your chest a playful punch before stepping back. "Now c'mon. days a-wastin' and id rather not spend it cooped up in this garage watching you play dress ups." "someone's in a good mood this morning." You giggle. Dina laughs along with you. "Can you blame me? Its a beautiful day, and ive got my favourite person to keep me company on patrol." Dina says stretching languidly, her lithe form accentuated by her fitted leather jacket and cargo pants. "haha i thought jesse was your favourite?" You laugh locking the door behind you as guys leave. Dina just rolls her eyes playfully as she falls into step beside you, matching your pace. "Oh please, Jesse's alright i guess. But you're... special." She nudges you with her elbow, grinning mischievously. "Plus, jesse doesnt nearly appreciate my witty banter like you do." As you two walk through the gates of the settlement, she lowers her voice. "Between you and me though, I think hes just jealous that i prefer your company." You just smile at hearing her say that.
a little timeskip
"So are you going to the New Year's party tonight?" you ask Dina. "Of course I am! Its gonna be a blast." She says leaning in conspiratorially, lowering her voice. "I heard tommys making his famous BBQ ribs and sarahs whipping up a batch of her famous apple pie. Not to mention the whiskeys flowing freely and everyones letting loose after a tough year." Dina glances at you, a hopeful smile her face. "Youre coming too, right? I mean, its not a real party without you there to keep me in line." Dina winks playfully at you, her competitive nature rearing its head once more. "Yeah I'll be there," You laugh at her.
A FEW HOURS LATER
You realise the time. "We should probably head back. Its getting late and the New Years party starts soon." You say to dina as she glances up at the sky, noting the deepening twilight. "Youre right, Its getting on towards dusk. We should probably wrap up this patrol and head back." Dina says as she turns her horse around to begin the journey back. "Besides, I dont want to risk running into any stragglers or hostile survivors on the way home. With the New Years celebration looming, we dont need any extra stress or drama." Dina smiles reassuringly, her eyes scanning the surrounding woods for any signs of danger. "Lets focus on getting back safetly and then we can enjoy the party with our friends." You say. As you continue your ride back, the rhythmic clip clop of the hooves echoing through out the forest as dina follows closely behind.
"Im really looking forward to tonights festivities. Its been a rough year for all of us. Im greatful to have you by my side Y/N. Whether we're taking down hordes of infected or dancing the night away under the stars. Youre more than just a partner in crime, Youre my best friend." (oof friend zoned hard) "Thanks Dina." You say trying to hide the pain you have just endured from the friend zone.
You guys arrive back to jackson, you and dina dismounting your horses before leading them to the stables. Dina turns to you with a smile, her eyes sparkling in the fading light. "Now, shall we get cleaned up and to the party? Im itching for a drink." she says, walking ahead, her hips swaying gently with each step. "Oh tell me about it. I cant wait to get drunk." you laugh.
You reach your house and have a look through your cupboard for a nice outfit to wear.
You end up wearing this. (obviously you can wear whatever you want and look however you want this is just what i chose)

Summary: In which you found eachother
Masterlist
Rain poured in sheets over Seattle, swallowing the city's broken skyline in a haze of grey. You and Dina had been on the move for hours, darting through ruins in search of supplies. Ellie had gone ahead to scout, but you and Dina had been tasked with clearing the east wing of an old hotel—the one that creaked like it could collapse any second.
Dina's flashlight flickered across the hallway as she glanced back at you. “You good?”
“Peachy,” you replied, offering her a crooked smile. You tried to play it off, but your heart was thudding. Not from fear of infected—but from her.
She was beautiful, even in the worst of it. Eyes sharp and warm, always alert. Lips you’d stared at too long. And though the two of you had never said it, not in words, it was always there between you. In the glances. The lingering touches. The way her hand would sometimes brush yours, and neither of you would pull away.
The hotel’s moan interrupted your thoughts.
“I hear something,” Dina said. Her voice dropped to a whisper. “Basement. You go left, I’ll loop right?”
You nodded, heart sinking.
Five minutes later, you were pinned between a pair of infected and a failing security door. Dina shouted through the radio—she was on the other side, but the horde was between you now. You ran, feet slamming into wet tile, until you hit the emergency lockdown switch on instinct.
The door began to close.
“(Y/N)!” Dina’s voice crackled. She was close—too close.
You looked back. She was sprinting, eyes wild, arm outstretched. Behind you, the infected closed in.
“No!” she screamed. “Don’t close it! I’m right here!”
Your hand hovered over the override.
“I love you,” you whispered—too quiet for her to hear. “That’s why.”
Then you hit the button. The door slammed shut, cutting off her scream.
Her fists pounded the metal as you stumbled back, already pulling your knife. The infected rounded the corner and you screamed her name once before the fight swallowed you whole.
Then—black.
You woke up in a truck bed outside the city, barely breathing, ribs broken, blood caking your clothes. A patrol had found you—but you didn’t ask where Dina was. You were too ashamed.
She thought you were dead.
Good.
Let her hate you. Let her move on. Because at least she was alive.
You spent weeks healing. Every day felt like penance—until one morning, unable to carry the weight of her absence, you did what you swore you wouldn’t.
You went back to Jackson.
You looked nothing like yourself. Thinner. Bruised. Limps where there weren’t any before. You didn’t expect to be recognized.
But she was there—Dina—on the watchtower.
When she saw you, she froze. Her rifle slipped from her shoulder, clattering to the floor. Then she was running.
You barely had time to open your arms before she crashed into you.
And then her fist slammed into your jaw.
You hit the ground, dazed. Her scream pierced the air.
“You selfish piece of shit!”
You didn’t get up.
“You left me! I begged you—begged—and you shut that door anyway!”
“I had to,” you croaked. “They were—”
“I don’t care!” she shouted, sobbing now. “You let me think you were dead. Every day, I thought—I thought—”
She collapsed beside you, fists clenched.
“I couldn't lose you,” you whispered.
“You lost me anyway.”
Silence stretched. Only your broken breathing and her sobs remained.
Then, quietly, she asked, “Did you mean it?”
“What?”
She looked at you, her eyes wet and furious. “When you said you loved me.”
You didn’t answer with words.
You sat up, ignoring the pain, and kissed her.
Not soft. Not sweet.
It was angry. Raw. Desperate.
And when you broke apart, gasping for air, she grabbed your jacket and pulled you into her arms like she couldn’t let go.
“I hate you,” she whispered.
“I know.”
“I love you more.”
Dina let you stay with her. Said it was temporary. Said you were still on thin ice. But every night, she made room for you in her bed.
Every morning, her arm stayed wrapped around your waist long after the alarm went off.
She never said she forgave you. But she stopped flinching when you touched her. She stopped looking away when you said her name.
You learned to talk again. About what happened. About why. And one night, when the wind howled outside and the fire crackled low, she reached across the gap between you and said—
“You don’t get to leave again.”
You swallowed hard. “I won’t.”
“You promise?”
“I swear.”
She pressed her forehead to yours. “Then I’ll stay too.”
Seattle had taken so much from you both. But what it couldn’t take—what it never could—was this.
The choice to love.
To stay.
To come back, no matter how broken.
Because in the end, love wasn’t in the sacrifice. It was in the fight.
And you’d fight for her. Every single time.
Hiiii my love!! So glad you’re backkkk this will be second request omg lover girl Dina with we could’ve been by h.e.r xoxo

Summary: in which you could've been something special
Materlist
It starts the way most heartbreaks do — quietly.
There’s no dramatic fight. No slammed doors or bitter screams echoing off the cabin walls. Just silence, like snow falling in the dead of night.
You remember the way Dina used to look at you — like you hung the stars just for her. Soft, melting glances when you made her laugh, when your fingers brushed hers during patrol. She was warmth in a world that had gone cold long before you met her. And for a while, you both made each other forget the world was still burning.
But that was before Jackson fell apart. Before Ellie left and took pieces of you both with her
- Two Years Earlier
You’d been partners on patrol. Dina cracked too many jokes, and you were too good at pretending not to laugh.
You weren’t supposed to fall in love with her. She was with Jesse, and you weren’t the kind of person who stole hearts from people who trusted you. But then Jesse died. And suddenly, Dina was untethered, adrift. And so were you.
She kissed you the first night after the memorial. Her eyes were glassy from crying, but she smiled like she meant it. And when her lips pressed against yours, you knew it wasn’t grief she was feeling — it was need. And you gave in, because you needed her too.
That winter was everything. You shared a room, a bed, whispered secrets in the dark while the wind howled outside. She called you "baby" like it was a promise, like there’d always be a next morning.
“We could go somewhere,” you whispered once. “Leave Jackson. Start over.”
She looked at you with soft eyes. “You think we’d make it?”
“I think we’d try.”
But the truth was, you were both cowards. You never left. And Ellie came back broken, bloodied, full of ghosts. That changed everything.
- Now
Dina’s standing in your doorway.
Her hair’s pulled back in a loose braid. Snow clings to the hem of her jacket. Her eyes flicker around your cabin like she’s trying to remember what it used to feel like to live here. To belong here.
“I heard you were back,” you say, voice low.
She nods. Doesn’t smile.
“Didn’t think you’d want to see me,” you add.
“I didn’t,” she says, then flinches at her own words. “I mean— I didn’t think you’d want to see me.”
The silence swells between you. Thick with everything left unsaid.
She walks in anyway.
Her fingers trail over the table where you used to eat together. The cracked mug she once used for morning coffee still sits on the windowsill. She picks it up like it might still be warm.
“I thought about you,” she says finally.
You don’t answer.
“I tried not to,” she admits, and her voice breaks just slightly. “But I did.”
You want to ask why she left. Why she never came back, never wrote. But instead, you say, “You look tired.”
Dina laughs, a short, sad sound. “Motherhood’ll do that to you.”
Your throat tightens. You knew, of course. Word gets around. Ellie left, and Dina raised JJ alone for a while before leaving Jackson altogether. No one knew where she went — until now.
“How’s JJ?” you ask softly.
“He’s good. Getting big. Looks like Jesse.” She smiles faintly. “Acts like me.”
You nod, but your heart is somewhere else. Somewhere between past and present, between her lips on yours and the feel of her empty space in your bed.
“Why’d you come back?”
She exhales. “I don’t know. Closure? Guilt?”
“Do you feel guilty?”
Dina walks closer, eyes fixed on you like she’s trying to read your mind. “Every day.”
You swallow hard. “Why me?”
“I don’t know.” Her voice cracks. “Because I loved you.”
The air leaves your lungs like a punch.
“Loved,” you repeat.
She closes her eyes. “Love. I love you. I never stopped.”
It’s too much.
You turn away, but she follows, steps echoing behind you until she’s right there — close enough to touch.
“I thought if I stayed, I’d hurt you more,” she says. “After Jesse, after Ellie… I didn’t think I had anything left to give. I was scared.”
You look at her, eyes stinging. “So you disappeared instead?”
“I thought I was doing the right thing.”
“And was it?” you whisper.
Her silence is answer enough.
Later, you’re both sitting on the couch. Neither of you dares to bridge the inches between you.
“You ever think about it?” she asks. “What we could’ve been?”
You nod once. “All the time.”
“I still remember your voice in the morning,” she says, tears in her eyes. “I’d wake up and— for a second— pretend we were safe. That the world wasn’t fucked.”
You reach out, finally, brushing your fingers over hers. “Maybe we were, for a while.”
Dina lets out a soft sob and leans in, resting her forehead against yours. “I’m sorry I didn’t choose you.”
“I would’ve chosen you,” you whisper.
“I know.”
You sit like that for a long time, breathing the same air, but feeling like miles apart.
When she leaves that night, you don’t stop her.
And she doesn’t ask you to come.
- One Month Later
A letter arrives in your cabin. Dina’s handwriting. Careful, uneven.
“If things had been different, we could’ve had everything. I hope one day, in some better world, we find our way back to each other.
D.”
You hold the letter for a long time, then fold it gently.
Put it with the others.
And dream of all the ways you almost loved her forever.
Would it be possible for you to do anything about Dina? Totally fine if not, I just never see anything about her at all 😭
If so, would you be able to do something about R just being reeeally protective towards her, almost akin to like- a guard dog or something . Just always following her around, hard to not find Dina without them , literally the nicest to Dina but as soon as anyone gets in the way they’re all glares and ugly looks.
But Dina has no idea what people are talking about when they bring it up to her, because what do you mean ?? They’re so sweet!
And maybe she does know and just chooses to do nothing about it because she finds it cute or funny.
(also really glad you’re back, make sure you still feel like you can take time for yourself tho!)

Dina shivered as she walked into Ellies house. She quickly shut the door behind her, trying to not let anymore of the cold air in.
Dina hated winter. When it started snowing in Jackson she would gather as much food as she could and she would stay in the warmth her house. She would not leave for anything. She would wrap herself in blankets and she'll sit in front of the fireplace in her home.
The only time anyone would ever see Dina during winter is when the snow starts to smelt and flowers start blooming again.
Dina slipped off her jacket as she wrapped her arms around herself. Despite Dina practically hugging herself she still felt cold.
Maybe you'd be able to keep her warm.
No.
fuck.
She cant think of you in that way.
You were just friends.
Just friends.
'But friends don't cuddle. Friends don't shower together. friends don't-'
Dina's thoughts were interrupted by Ellie's voice: "fucking finally"
Before Dina could talk she heard Jesse say: "we know you hate the cold but you took like 5 fucking hours to get here"
"you guys are being overdramatic" Dina rolled her eyes as she took of her boots.
It's been a while since the 3 of them hung out alone.
Ellie was always hooking up with someone, Jesse was always patrolling and Dina was always with you.
"I'm surprised you didn't bring your girl with" Jesse told her with a smirk.
Dina's brows furrowed "my girl?"
"yeah" Ellie laughed.
"your guard dog"
"guard dog?" Dina asked in confusion.
"I don't know what you're talking about"
Ellie and Jesse's jaws hung open.
"You don't see it?"
"see what?"
"dude you're stupid" Jesse sighs.
-
You and Dina had gotten ready together. The two of were walking down the road and you held onto her arm gently.
Dina would never admit it out loud but she liked it when you did that. She liked it when you were so close to her. It made her feel safe.
You checked the surroundings while keeping an eye on Dina. Even though Jackson was extremely safe you still couldn't help looking after her.
You were subtle in the way you cared for her. You liked Dina a lot, and you had hoped that she'd catch on. It's been years and she still hasn't noticed anything.
To protect your friendship you decided to settle on just looking after her.
You were possessive, protective over what you wanted. But clearly Dina noticed nothing so your actions were in vain. (Or so you thought).
Dina walked into the bar first and she felt your presence close behind her. (You always followed her around and when the two of you were separated you still kept and eye on her)
Rumors spread around Jackson that the two of you were dating.
Dina has heard them. She liked the rumors hoping that any girl interested in you would believe it and leave you alone but she also doesn't know who or what the source of the rumors were.
She didn't realize it, but it was you. The way you looked at her, protected her, you scared everyone away from her. She didn't see it.
Fucking idiot.
Dina went to Ellie and she hugged her. You stayed close behind her glaring at the two.
'You can't be jealous. It's not fair' you kept telling yourself.
The feelings you had for Dina just grew stronger and stronger and they were threatening to reveal themselves.
Dina slid into the booth first and you slid in after, immediately wrapping your arm around her shoulder glaring at anyone who even looks at her.
Ellie stared at scene before her. There was clearly something going on between the two of you but you both denied it.
Ellie thought you were both really stupid.
The conversation flowed easily between the three of you, but eventually Dina had to go to the bathroom. You moved out the booth and Dina made her way to the bathroom.
"Hi"
Dina's head turned to see a beautiful red head giving her a small smile.
"hi" Dina smiled shyly.
"my name is-"
Before she could even utter her name you walked in
"There you are" you said as you walked towards her ignoring the girl.
You took Dina's hand and you looked at the girl.
"Sorry" she muttered and she walked away.
Dina frowned "why was she saying sorry"
You glared at the girl before you turned back to Dina, your grip on her hand tightened.
"I don't know" you shrugged as you kissed her temple.
-
"She was just protecting me" Dina's blushed.
"protecting you? All she had to do was pee on you to mark her territory because damn"
Dina felt butterflies erupt in her stomach.
Maybe there was more to your behavior
"It was probably a one time thing" Dina argued.
"one time?" Jesse said dramatically.
"She's always holding you. A arm around your shoulders or waist, she never leaves you alone, she follows you around like a dog... she's in love with you!"
Dina drowned out Ellie and Jesse's voices.
Everything she heard can't be a coincidence right.... right?
She wrapped her arms around herself once again
Maybe you were just protective.
But maybe, just maybe you felt the same way.
<3

Summary: In which the popular girl asked you out
authors note: on a serious note we need more dina fics, she's sooooo fine but so underrated and it's so sad
masterlist
"Earth to Dina"
"huh?"
"Dina are you ok?" Ellie asked concerned at her friends spaced out expression.
"I'm fine"
no she wasn't.
Dina was not fine.
She was fucking fuming. Why? Because you were giving someone else attention.
Dina had always wanted to be a cheerleader. Ever since she was a little girl, she watched countless videos on YouTube for cheer routines, and she memorized them all.
As soon as she became a freshman in high-school she immediately auditioned, and as if god was on her side she became the caption and she stayed the caption up until her senior year.
She fucking loved to cheer.
The makeup, the routines, the crowd screaming for them.
For her.
God she loved it all the attention. She loved all the people around her, people praising her, and telling her that she did a good job.
Dina was the classic popular girl and as cliché as it was, this was who she was and she loved every fucking second of it.
It was like no other day.
She stood at the entrance of the field, watching the football teams run out.
She observed the other cheer teams standing next to hers, they were pretty, but surely they weren't as talented.
The whistle blew and a grin spread on to Dina's face, as she jogged out the massive doors, her squad running behind her.
The crowd cheered as the girls came out, and Dina proudly raised her pompoms, shaking them slightly.
Her gaze fell onto the crowd, as she tried spotting people wearing the schools colors but her eyes fell on you.
woah.
She's never seen you before.
Holy fucking shit.
For the rest of the night, Dina's eyes lingered on you.
Every time they had to perform, she always kept and eye on you, hoping you'd make eye contact.
You never looked her way.
You wanted to but you were scared.
You'd only join the school a month ago and you remembered on your first day of school, you saw her.
The pretty girl with the dark hair.
That's what you called her until you were told her name was Dina.
Dina. Dina. Dina. Dina Dina.
She was all you could think about.
Everywhere you went there was a reminder of Dina.
You saw a bow? Dina wears bows.
You saw someone wearing blue? Dina always wears blue converse.
You wanted to talk to her so fucking bad, but you couldn't. Every time you got close to her it felt like you were going to piss yourself.
You made her a paper flower one day, hoping you'd be able to give it to her. You'd hype up yourself in the mirror but as soon as you saw her, the confidence you once felt fell away.
"C'mon lets go" your friend Abby begged. She'd been asking you to the football game all week but you weren't in the mood for the loud crowds and all the screaming.
"let me stay home dude" you replied
"Dina will be there"
That's all you needed to hear. You raced to get ready, and you put on a orange jumper hoping the bright color might catch Dina's attention.
You sat on the field with hundreds of other people, you anxiously waited for her, you realized that her seeing you would be unlikely due to the amount of people that filled the seats.
All you remember was the crowd cheering and Dina jogging out, wearing her blue converse. There was a grin on her face as her team followed her and she looked fucking perfect.
As hard as you tried not to look at her you couldn't help it.
She stood in front so obviously you were gonna look at her.
She performed with so much confidence, with so much grace. You could truly look at her forever.
When the game came to an end her squad asked if she wanted to go out with them, but Dina kindly declined because she had other plans.
She had to talk to this pretty girl that distracted her throughout the whole game.
Dina walked through the crowd, trying to avoid all the people who were trying to talk to her.
She was growing frustrated. Where the fuck were you?
Just as she was about to lose hope, she spotted your orange jumper. You stood on the side of the road talking on your phone. Dina slowly walked towards you and she didn't mean to listen to your conversation but she did.
"Abby i swear to god if you don't come pick me up in 5 minutes I'm going to kill you"
Dina softly giggled at how overdramatic you were. You put your phone into your pocket on you sighed.
Dina could walk away right now, she could turn away and you would never have to know about this.
Fuck it. Dina wasn't a pussy.
She tapped you on shoulder, and you turned around. Your eyes met with the girl you've been silently in love with for the last month.
Fuck.
"Hi" Dina started, giving you her charming smile.
Your mouth went dry and you felt so fucking nervous. She could probably see how you were shaking.
"Hi" you replied meeting her gaze shyly.
"Well I'm Dina and i just wanted to say you're really pretty and i was wondering if i could have your number?"
You wanted to pinch yourself. Is this even real? Was this a prank?
"yeah" was all you said without looking at her. You watched Dina reach into her bag to pull out her phone, and she silently watched as you put in your number.
"You don't talk much do you?" She laughed awkwardly as she took her phone from your hand.
"Yeah" was all you said.
Dina didn't text you. Its been 2 weeks.
Its not that she didn't want to, but she was terrified.
You barely spoke to her that night, who says you'll even text her back?
You on the other hand saw the situation differently. You thought she was taking you for a fool. Someone like Dina would never just ask for your number.
As the weeks went by you and Dina make eye contact, she would give you a small smile and you would just walk away with a nod. You'd make no effort to talk to her because she made you so fucking nervous.
Dina hated this. She hated that she wanted someone that can barley look at her. But here she was getting mad at you for talking to someone else.
Some blonde bitch sat with you and you acted so differently. You laughed, you fucking smiled and showed emotion, but when Dina was around you barely uttered a word to her.
You drove her insane.
"Dude why are you fucking lying?"
"what?" Dina asked.
She actually forgot Ellie was sitting here.
"You keep looking at her and Abby"
so that's what her name was.
"What's your deal with them?" Ellie persisted.
She might as well admit it.
"She isn't the problem, Abby is"
Ellies gaze fell to you and Abby for a while before it all clicked.
"Dude are you jealous? do you have a fucking crush on her or something?"
"Yeah" Dina admitted "but I don't know anything about her, i tried talking to her, but she doesn't say much"
Dina quickly glazed to you before she groaned in frustration
"she doesn't" Ellie confirmed.
"She only talks to Abby, she's quite shy in my opinion"
shy is an understatement.
Dina was losing her mind. Every time she sees you and Abby together she feels sick. But at the same time she's too pussy to talk to you or to even text you.
Dina could perform in front of thousands of people without batting an eye but she could barley say hi to you.
You were fucking breaking her.
Dina went to an empty classroom to let off some steam and to her surprise you sat there.
"Hi" Dina said in amazement.
"Hi" you responded looking everywhere in the room but her.
'just fucking look at me' Dina thought to herself.
"What are you doing here?" She asked you.
"Abby isn't here today, i didn't feel like sitting alone"
Dina's fist clenched tightly at the mention of Abby.
"Can i ask you something?" Dina randomly asked, after staring at you for a while.
"yeah"
"why don't you want me?"
"What?"
Dina dropped her backpack and she made her way towards you: "like you- fuck- why don't you look at me? I always look at you"
You wanted to run out the room, this was all happening too fast. "Dina-"
"no listen, i know nothing about you but you seem like a really sweet girl, please just one chance" she begged.
You would give her a million chances.
"Yeah..." you started, you looked around the room one last time before you finally made eye contact with Dina.
"so are you gonna take me on a date?" You smiled at her shyly.
Dina chucked and she responded with one word: "yeah"
