Imagine: Having a rough past and your boyfriend Eric tries to get you to let him in.
*************************************
"Eric, it's nothing, just leave me alone! Please!" You beg your boyfriend, trying to hold back your tears.
"Really Y/N?! It sure doesn't look like nothing to me! It's never looked like nothing!" A shaky sob escapes your mouth and you let out a few tears, Eric instantly catches them with his fingers and makes you look at the dampness, "You're actually trying to tell me that this is nothing?! Are you fucking serious Y/N?!"
"Eric it's not something I want to talk about! Do you understand how hard it is for me?!" You had been fighting against your past for as long as you could remember. Your boyfriend, Eric had been trying everything in his power to try to get you to let him in, he knew that if you could talk about it, you'd feel better, deep down inside, you knew it too, but you just couldn't.
"What happened Y/N? Baby if you talk to me, you'll feel better. You're Dauntless Y/N, you can't keep running from dead people. You see a corpse and you run. Do you know how that looks?!"
"So what do you expect?! You expect me to cry in front of everyone, I'm weak Eric, but I'm not going to let them see that!"
"You're weak? EMBRACE IT THEN! IF YOU CANT CONTROL IT EMBRACE IT! CRY IN PUBLIC! HAVE BIG, HUGE FEELINGS, BE A MESS! I STILL LOVE YOU DAMMIT!" He's yelling at this point.
You sigh and look away before replying, "Eric, my past was hard, you don't know what happened to me!"
"THEN TELL ME! IF YOU DON'T LET ME IN WHO THE FUCK ELSE DO YOU THINK WILL TRY THIS HARD? You can only shut me out so many times. I've never given you a single reason to doubt me. Either you start trusting me or I'm gone," He looks exhausted and it hits you, Eric is your only source of happiness and you cannot lose him, you can't let your past take something you love away from you again. You're snapped out of your thoughts when Eric gets up to walk away from you.
"Eric!" He stops, "Please don't go...please don't leave me Eric."
He comes back and sits next to you, "I won't Y/N, I just can't stand to see you cry, I love you Y/N."
"A few years ago I watch one of my closest friends die, I could have helped her Eric, but I stood by and did nothing, every time I see a body or a severe injury I freeze, I can't handle it Eric. I just- I'm not Dauntless enough, I'm sorry Eric," Your voice breaks again and you begin crying again. Eric pulls you in close and kisses your forehead.
"You are not weak Y/N, you saw something horrible like that happen and you still pushed through. You are the strongest woman I know," You scoff, "I'm not lying Y/N, I wouldn't have fallen in love with a weak girl, I fell for you because I saw your strength, and I fall for you again and again, every single day. I see how strong you are Y/N and I don't ever want you to think otherwise."
"Thank you Eric," You smile through your tears, "You-you were right, talking about it did help."
"You don't need to thank me," He whispers, closing the gap between you two and pressing his lips to yours. He rolls back on to the couch and pulls you on top of him without breaking the kiss. You spend the rest of the night cuddling on the couch with Eric.
