Your mind kept wandering back to what had happened two days earlier. You were supposed to be training initiates, but you were running on zero sleep and you kept having nervous breakdowns thinking about Eric.

Two days ago, the initiates had a day off, so you, Eric, Four and a few others had gone to patrol in the Factionless. Upon arriving, things went downhill, fast. You had been attack and in the midst of the chaos, your friend, Eric, had pushed you out of the way and taken a bullet for you. He had been carried to the hospital and you had been forced to go back home, they couldn't afford to not have two of their trainers missing.

Nobody had thought he would make it, so when he walked into the training room, you were more than surprised. Your heart filled with joy and relief. You instantly stopped teaching, Four and the other initiates turned to you. They were all looking, but you didn't care. You ran up to him anyways.

You wrapped your arms around him and he awkwardly hugged you back, not used to affection.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" You cry, "If something had happened to you, I would have never forgiven myself!"

"Y/N, relax I'm fine," He said, clearly uncomfortable, knowing that everyone was watching.

"I can't relax! Eric you were shot!" You say, not caring who saw or heard you.

He sighs, "Y/N, if my legacy is to throw myself in the path of a bullet to save your life, then so be it."

You're taken aback by his words, you stand up on your toes and press a kiss against his lips. For a second the initiates stare in shock, but then a few of them let out cheers. Eric pulls away and smirks at you for a second, before changing his expression into a scowl, "What are you all wasting time for?! Get back to training!"

The initiates instantly get back to training and you smile at the leader in front of you.
