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

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"
