les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

58. Performer

Imagine: Being a heavy metal performer and a leader in Dauntless. As he watches you perform every weekend, Eric slowly falls in love with you. 

*************************************

It's Friday night and you stand on the stage in the Dauntless bar singing, this was your passion. You had come in first ranking during your initiation and Max had agreed to let you become a performer as long as you also took on a leadership position. You accepted his offer, and soon after initiation, you formed a band with a few of your friends from Dauntless. Ajay played the electric guitar, Nita had the bass, Bruce played the drums, and you, of course, were the vocalist.

Eric's POV

I stand in the bar after work, holding a glass of beer in my hand. I come here every weekend since Y/N began performing here, I never would have thought that she had such an amazing voice. Every time I hear her, I feel drawn towards her. It doesn't really help that I have to work beside her every single day and stop myself from kissing the fuck out of her pretty little face. I'm in love. Eric, the badass, fucking, Dauntless leader, is in love.

"-so what do you say?" Max pauses, "Eric?"

"Huh?" I whip my head around, realizing that I wasn't listening to a word he said.

"Seriously kid, where have you been?"

Some of the other leaders chuckle, and Jared says, "Lost in Y/N's voice."

"Oh fuck off, I was just thinking about initiation training next month," I lie.

"Fuck Eric, just grow some balls and tell her you like her!" Victoria another leader, says.

"Oh please Victoria, I'm the ballsiest guy in this faction, besides, I don't like her!"

"I agree with them kid, it's obviously that you like her!" Max says, they're right I do like her, but I could never confess that, she's too good for me.

I put my drink down and walk out of the bar.

I sit by the chasm for an hour or so, until I hear the clattering of heels. I turn and see Y/N making her way towards me, she gets closer and stops directly in front of me, I look up at her and she says, "Hey Eric, I had just finished performing and Max said you wanted to see me. What's up?"

Shit, what the fuck was Max thinking?! I gesture for her to sit next to me and she complies, "Um, yeah, I was just wondering, d-do you think we should keep the cuts for initiation next month?"

What the hell am I saying. A disappointed look washes over her face, "Oh, I guess, but maybe we should have a higher number of initiates that we keep. I don't know, it's up to you. Is that all you needed me for?"

"Uh, n-yeah, that's it," I just don't know how to tell her, I've never done anything like this before.

"Okay, well I'm going to go now." She turns to leave.

"Oh fuck it, Y/N wait!" She turns back around, "I'm such a fucking pansycake."

"What do you mean?"

"Fuck, I'm in love with you, I have been in love since the first day I saw you perform, and I've fallen harder every day since then. Y/N, will you be my girlfriend."

"Shit Eric, I thought you'd never ask!" She laughs, "Of course I will."

I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her body against mine, locking my lips with hers. I feel the sparks fly and she lets out a gentle moan as I bite her lip, I smirk against her mouth.

Well this will be interesting.
