The Last of Us: Are Ellie and Riley In Love? Real Story Explained
The Last of Us fan-base is giving the HBO Max Twitter account a hard time after they posted a picture of Ellie and Riley with the caption "That best friend stare". As everyone anticipates a heartfelt remake of Ellie and Riley's relationship in the upcoming Left Behind adaptation, the Last of Us community is lightening the mood by poking fun at the account. What is the real relationship between Ellie and Riley in The Last of Us?
The comments underneath the post are full of memes pointing out the fact that Ellie and Riley are much more than best friends, with some of the best memes including one of Joel and Ellie with a rainbow flag and question mark above their head, and an image of Daisy and Peach kissing each other with the caption "best friends". Yep, just gals being pals.
For those who are worried that this HBO might somehow end up changing Ellie's sexuality in the show, don't worry. Not only would that be the stupidest move it could possibly do, but it's already been confirmed that Ellie will remain a lesbian in the show, will Bella Ramsey even recently commenting that they were excited to see the Ellie and Dina romance play out in Part 2.

This isn’t a one-off moment. Ellie is a lesbian in both the game and the HBO show. Not only does she kiss Riley in the Left Behind DLC, but her companion in The Last of Us Part II is her eventual girlfriend, Dina. The two even share a dance that’s one of the most romantic moments brought to a video game.
Captain Kwong tries to convince her to follow the rules and become a FEDRA officer, but the Ellie we know isn't much on rules and regulations. When Riley returns, he takes Ellie for a perfect night together at an old shopping mall, where they ride a carousel, take pictures in a photo booth, play arcade games, and generally have a blast. There are arguments along the way, when Ellie finds out that the Fireflies have been stashing pipe bombs at the mall, and gifts, as Riley gave Ellie the new pun book that she loves reading aloud to Joel. Ultimately, it is Ellie's last night with Riley, and it is hard to not get caught up in the euphoria that surrounds them. Ellie and Riley are having a romantic evening, dancing to Etta James' "I Got You Babe".
In the present, Ellie rejects Joel's request, grabs a needle and thread, and attempts to sew up his wound. In the past, Ellie had to leave Riley behind, but for the moment, she has found some familial love to buoy her after the loss of romantic love. The show has also depicted various depictions of love, such as Frank helping Bill create, Henry making sacrifices for Sam, and Joel's fear of letting Ellie down.
