“You have me”

(Eric x Reader)

Requested by: anon.

‘’Can I request an Eric from Divergent one shot? Where you’ve been together for a while, and even though he’s softened up a bit, he doesn’t show any emotion around you. Until the day you see him cry for the first time. You comfort him, and he lets out all those built up emotions. Thank you so so much! xx’’

————————————————

You walked by, in between all black dressed bodies, who were waiting impatiently for their families. But you couldn’t care less. You were a Dauntless born, and today it was the day when initiate’s families could visit them. You focused on finding Eric, your boyfriend.

Probably no one in all the Dauntless faction would have expected you to be Eric’s girlfriend. What am I saying, no one would have expected Eric to get a girlfriend. He just wasn’t the type of guy who spread love wherever he walked by. He was more into hardcore fighting, weapons and his own interests. Yet, you could see how, he actually wasn’t the monster everyone pictured him. And, even if it seemed incredible, he actually asked you to be his girlfriend. But, of course, it had it’s perks. Not that people in your own faction hated you, they just didn’t like Eric. So you’d be given dirty looks whenever you both’d hold hands. Or actually, show any kind of human affection. And you started to get confused, even worried, when his affection towards you in public got colder.

But all of that was far away from your mind now, inspecting every face of the crowded people around you. You couldn’t seem to find him. Minutes later, you decided to check on his apartment. Maybe we wasn’t out that day, there wasn’t any training.

Once you were in front of the door, you stopped yourself from knocking. Maybe he wanted to be alone for a day. He was probably tired of training teenagers every day, and needed some time to himself. But, at least, you needed to check if he was okay.

You waited for some time after knocking on the door, looking at the floor and balancing on your feet for some minutes. You thought that he might not heard the call, and raised your right hand to knock again. Then, you heard footsteps at the other side. You kept your hand up, breathing slowly, not wanting to miss any more noises. But then, the apartment door opened, revealing a really bad looking Eric.

He looked straight into your eyes, and you took a deep breath to speak. But he just turned and walked away from the door, leaving the entrance, and letting it open in case you wanted to stay. He couldn’t let himself break down in front of you, less at his apartent door.

You walked silently, towards him, and sat at the edge of his bed, next to him. You looked around, and it seemed like he hadn’t even bothered to get dressed when he woke up this morning. You slowly placed you hand on his shoulder, and noticed he was really tense. He was hiding his head on his hands, his arms resting on his knees.

“You know, we don’t have to talk about it.” you started, and continued when he just kept silence. “But, if there’s something that bothers you, I’d like to… help you, some how. You have me.”

He looked at you for a couple of seconds, before a tear escaped his eye. You quickly kneeled in front of him, taking his face in your hands. But he was now closing his eyes, refusing to meet yours. He loved your eyes, and the way thet they warmed his heart in a cold day. He could smile everytime your eyes would connect with his. He could feel like he was looking through an opened window that you left for him to escape this world. And, if he looked at you right now, he’d start let everything out.

“Eric talk to me. Please.” you begged him. Normally, hearing your voice would calm him. It was that lovely melody that calmed him in the most stressful day. But, your voice now desesperate, was now painful to hear. You both stayed for some minutes in silence, his face on your hands, your thumb caressing his cheek, and deleting every tear that dared to fall.

“It hurts.” you whispered “To see you cry.”

Eric finally opened his eyes, scanning your face. He didn’t know what to say. He just pressed his lips against yours, giving you that kind of kiss that you missed. That kind of kiss that tasted like love.

“Can we leave it for tomorrow? We’ll talk about it then.” he spoke for the first time, with a raspy voice. You just nodded and kissed his cheek.

“We’ll talk about it whenever you feel like it. But, at least, let me take you out. Just a couple of hours, to have dinner and clear your mind, okay?” you asked him. He nodded, and gave you another kiss before getting on his feet and putting his black jacket on. Then, he took your hand firmly, and left the apartment together.
