32. I Love You 'Til The Sun Dies

Imagine: You and Eric going through each other's fear landscape. You learn why Eric is the way he is, and he finds out that you are scared of him.

Warnings: Mentions of sexual assault and death!

"Eric, please don't," you beg with tears streaming down your face.

"I can't believe I ever fell for a piece of Divergent trash like you," Eric says with a gun pointed to your head, his face holds an expression of pure disgust, "but don't worry sweetheart, I make this easy for you. It'll be a quick death."

He pulls the trigger.

You jolt awake gasping for air. Your face is covered in tears and body in sweat.

"You okay Y/N?" Eric asks opening his sleep filled eyes and looking at you.

"I-I'm fine." You quickly respond, looking away from him. You've been waking up from this nightmare every day since the attack in Candor during the war, which had ended weeks ago. Since then, Eric was forgiven for what he did, and was given back his leadership position, Divergents were now safe, and you knew that Eric would never hurt you; however, this did not stop the nightmares from coming.

"Y/N, please telling me what's bothering you. You wake up from these nightmares every fucking day and you won't tell me what they're about. Talk to me baby," He was now fully awake, he grabs your chin and makes you face him, "Please Y/N, I can't stand seeing you like this."

"It's nothing Eric, really," How could you ever tell him that your nightmares were about him killing you, I would break his heart. He clearly didn't believe you, so you leaned in and gave him a passionate kiss, trying to talk his mind off it.

He eventually pulled back, with a disappointed look on his face, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but remember, I'm always here if you need to talk." With that, he got up and walked out of the room.

'I'm sorry Eric, I wish I could tell you, but I can't,' you thought.

"Where are we going Eric?" You asked, he held your hand leading you through the dark hallways of the Dauntless compound.

"Do you trust me Y/N," He stopped walking and looked back at you, you nodded, "Then shut up and stop asking me!"

He finally stopped in front of the familiar room that you hadn't seen since your initiation. The fear landscape room.

"Eric why are we here?" You question.

"We've been together for almost a year now, and I realized that you barely even know anything about me, so I thought what better way for you to get know me than going through my fears," He says with a hopeful expression on his face.

"Eric, you don't have t-"

"But I want to." He said getting out the syringes.

"How many fears do you have?" You ask.

"Eight," You can't shake off the feeling that you're invading his privacy, but he really wants this so you go with it, "Ready?

You nod as he injects himself; he then brushes your hair away from your neck and injects you.

Suddenly you find yourself trapped inside a small box, the walls closing in on you, claustrophobia. You look over at Eric, he is sitting, jaw-clenched, staring at the wall in front of him, you shake him, "Eric snap out of it and do something!"

He then takes a deep breath and puts his legs out pushing against the wall in front of him, you decide to do the same with the opposite wall, Eric counts to three and you both push, the scene changes.
