Ich Liebe Dich (I Love You) An Erik Durm fanfiction

chapter 1 growing up

"Erik STOP!" I yelled at my brother's best friend who was throwing snowballs at me, trying to get me to build a snow fort with him and Mats. I was about 12 he was 15 and Mats was 18. Even though he was an adult Mats still enjoyed goofing avout with his best friend and littlee sister. He was a good brother, very caring and protective. "Come on little A!" my brother pleaded with me. "Don't call me that, and no! I'm going inside."

"What's wrong with you, this is your favorite thing to do in the snow! I'm only home for another week and I really want to spend time with you."

"Well I don't want to spend time with you and I wish you were leaving tomorrow!"

"Oooh, that one hurt" Erik whispered to Mats

I started to run inside but Mats grabbed me. " Anja, I know you're mad at me for not hanging out with you last night but do you really want me to leave tomorrow?"

"No" I said in my about to cry voice.

"come here." Mats said as he pulled me into a hug.

My brother was right, I was angry at him because he told me the day before that he would hang out with me but his girlfriend called and he said she wanted him to go "shopping" with her. Likely story. Anyway I was upset that he would just drop me like that. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay mad him for long.

"I love you and I'm sorry I ditched you last night."

"I'm sorry for yelling at you and I do want you to stay, but you promised me about yesterday."

He sighed and answered "I know...I am very sorry though."

"it's all right I guess."

"so, what did you do last night?"

I was going to respond but Erik beat me to it "Oh I was gonna tell you, sorry, I knew she would be upset so I took her and Zeus to the park, we went sledding."

Mats shot Erik a thankful and relieved look and said thank you.
