Imagine: You and Eric get into a huge fight, and when you are put on patrol together, he takes a bullet to save your life.
*************************************
"Why can't you ever clean up after yourself Eric?!" You yell at him, it's first thing in the morning and Eric has already made a mess in your shared apartment.
"I will Y/N," He spits back at you.
"When Eric? You always say that you will, but you never do, I'm always left to do it for you!"
"It's not like you have anything better to do, besides it's the woman's job to do the cleaning," He mumbles.
"Don't you dare!" You point your finger at his chest, "Don't you ever fucking dare! I cannot believe you would stoop to that level! And for your information, I work just as hard you, maybe even harder."
"God Y/N, why do you always have to have a fucking stick shoved up your a-" You cut him off by slapping him.
"You're such an asshole!" You say before storming out of the apartment, your chest filled with fury. God I hate him!
Suddenly you bump into a man, you turn around, Max, "Oh my God, I'm so sorry Max!"
"Y/N, I was actually just looking for you!" He sure seems cheerful today.
"Oh really?" You pretend to seem interested.
"Yes, one of our patrols has fallen ill today, and they were supposed to check Amity's woods for factionless. So I wanted to know if you can take over for him," Shit, Eric is going on that patrol as well, he's the last person I want to see right now.
"Actually Max, I don't think I'll be abl-" He fakes a smile.
"Let me rephrase that, you will be taking over for him Y/N!" He orders.
"Yes Max," You say through clenched teeth.
He leads you to the entrance of the compound where the rest of the patrols and Eric are waiting, "Eric, I have your replacement for Gary!"
Eric turns around and his eyes narrow at you, you can see a faint bruise on his cheek from where you slapped him this morning. Damn, I must have underestimated my strength! Eric marches up to Max, "Her?! She's the only replacement you could find Max?"
"Yes Eric, now quit wasting time and go!" Max demanded, and Eric nods reluctantly.
You argue with Eric the entire train ride to Amity, by the time it's time to get off you already feel exhausted. You jump off and Eric grabs your arm, pulling you back, "And one more thing Y/N, maybe you should ju-"
"Stop Eric," You sigh, "I'm done, please just stop, please!"
You pull away from him and walk towards the woods. After an hour or two of patrolling on your own, you see movement behind a tree in the distance, "Hey! Stop! Stop or I'll shoot you, stop!"
Whoever it is runs in the opposite direction, and you dash after him or her. After running for a short distance, you stop looking around. Where the hell did they go?
"Y/N!" Eric practically screams, you whip your head around. What's he doing here? Before you know what's happening Eric charges at you and just as he tackles you, you hear a gunshot go off.
Eric yells in pain and you quickly shoot in the direction of the gunshot sound, a factionless man falls dead instantly.
You quickly turn to your boyfriend and whisper, "Eric? Eric baby are you okay?"
"I-fuck, Y/N," He grips your arm, that's when you see the blood pouring out of his side.
"Shit! Oh shit shit shit!" Your eyes widen and you pull his shirt up, "Don't worry Eric, yo-you'll be alright, you-"
Your voice breaks, you can't believe he actually took a bullet for you. You snap out of your shock and take off your shirt, thankful that you decided to wear a tank-top underneath, and tightly wrap Eric's wound, to prevent further blood loss. You gently slap his face calling his name in order to keep him awake.
Eventually the rest of the patrols gather around you and carry Eric back onto the train, heading to Dauntless.
"Y-Y/N, I just w-wanted to say," Eric says through moans and grunts once everyone has left us alone, "I-I'm sorry Y/N, I shouldn't been s-such an asshole to you."
"No Eric, I'm sorry, I know you shouldn't have said all the 'it's a woman's job to clean' shit, but I shouldn't be so uptight all the time, I guess my ex-Erudite still hasn't fully left me! I'm sorry Eric!" You try to hold back your tears.
"I love you so much Y/N," He says painfully, "I just want you to know that, if I die today."
You place your hands on his lips, "Shh, don't ever say that Eric, you're not going to die! You have to promise me you won't die! Fucking promise me Eric!"
Eric lets out a low chuckle, "I'll promise not to die, if you promise that you'll marry me after I get through this."
Your jaw drops. Did Eric just propose to me, "Well that was literally the worst way to propose, but of course I will!"
"I love you Y/N!"
"I love you too Eric."
Eric was taken to the hospital after that, and he healed pretty quickly, a month later, the two of you got married, and now you're expecting your first child. Maybe happy endings do exist.
