Imagine: Your boyfriend, Eric, hates himself after the war, and you have to do everything you can help him heal.
Song Prompt: "Scars" ~Tove Lo
*************************************
The war was over, Jeanine was dead, and you and your boyfriend Eric were safe. After everything Eric had done, he had been able to prove himself worthy enough for forgiveness, not only this, but he had also retained his leadership position. There was only one person in Dauntless who hadn't forgiven your beloved boyfriend, and that was Eric himself.
"Scars we carry
Carry with memories, memories burned by the dark
Try to see clearly
Tears we bury
Bury in vain cause the pain got us falling apart
Try to see clearly"
The memories of the past haunted him; he would secretly shed a tear when he thought that no one was around. You would always know, you could always see right through him, everyday you'd tell him the same thing, "Eric, baby, you have to see things clearly, what happened wasn't your fault, everyone knows that, now you just have to believe it." He tried to make himself believe it, but he'd always fail.
"Now let the healing start
The fires out of guns
We keep it in our hearts
We're like a thousand suns
Ooh, yeah, every day, step by step, we dare to love again
And if we lose our grip, meet you at the end"
"Eric, you may have hurt me, but I've forgiven you, step by step, I've fall as deeply in love with you as I used to be," You would say.
"Why Y/N, why did you forgive me? I don't deserve it; I don't deserve to be loved."
"The war is over Eric, and the healing has started, you need to let yourself heal."
"Know they're cutting you deep
Feel the scars in your sleep
"What didn't kill us made us stronger
Stories left on our skin
Wear them with everything
What didn't kill us made us stronger"
"I know that it hurts you Eric, but guess what? You didn't die in the war, do you wanna know why?"
"Why?"
"Because you were meant to live. Eric it didn't kill you, because it was meant to make you stronger, not weaker. You have to be strong, if not for yourself then for this faction, you're a leader, an-and for me. You have to be strong for me Eric, I need you."
"Don't feel lonely
Loneliness kills all the thrill from standing alone
Try to see clearly"
"You're not alone Eric, you have me, you will always have me."
"I love you Y/N," he whispers before pulling you in for a kiss.
"I love you too Eric."
