les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

111. Love Advice

Imagine: Four playing matchmaker for you and Eric when you both go to him for love advice. 

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

Eric's POV

God, she's so perfect, I think as Y/N walks past me, Stop it Eric! You're the fucking leader of Dauntless, stop letting her get to you like that!

"Eric," She nods in greeting.

I just stare at her for a moment, but I quickly regain my composure, "Y/N."

She gives me a strange look before going off to help the initiates. I groan internally, Y/N L/N, the only girl who can make me look like an absolute idiot, just by saying my name.

"Eric...Eric?!" Four waves his hand in front of my face. How long have been standing here like this?

"What?"

"I said, Y/N can take care of the initiates for the rest of the day, we should discuss rankings."

"Right..." I nod. I make my way towards the door, and Four follows me.

After discussing rankings in my office for about an hour, Four finally asks, "So what's with you and Y/N? Is there something going on between you two?"

"Why does it matter to you?" I ask irritably.

"I just see you two staring at each other as if you're madly in love. I was just wondering," He shrugs.

"Well, there's absolutely nothing going on," I groan.

"But you wish there was don't you?" He asks. I nod reluctantly.

"In case you haven't noticed, I'm not really good when it comes to feelings. Could you...um...maybe," I gesture with my hands, not wanting to finish the question.

"Is the great Eric really asking for my advice?" He chuckles.

"Shut up," I sneer.

"Alright, since you asked so kindly," Four rolls his eyes sarcastically, "Meet me here, right after dinner, at 9:00 pm."

Four's POV

Eric agrees to meet me and I leave his office. I take out my phone and send a text to Y/N:

Hey, change of plans. Eric is making me work on paperwork all night but he was kind enough to led me is office. Meet me here at 9, then we'll talk.

Y/N had come to me yesterday; she confessed her crush on Eric and asked me for love advice. This could be the perfect chance.

Sure thing Four, thanks again! :)

Y/N's POV

You walked up the stair and opened the door to Eric's office. You noticed Four sitting on the chair with his back turned as you closed the door.

"Alright, tell me, what do I do?" Your eyes widen at the sound of the voice -that's definitely not Four.

When you don't respond he spins around, "Y/N?! Fuck, I knew I shouldn't have trusted Four."

"Me neither," You mutter under your breath, "Wait, why shouldn't you have trusted Four...?"

"Um-he-I-er he," Eric stutters, you look at him questioningly. Eric, the Eric, just stuttered, what's going on?

You sigh and walk up to him knowing he's not going to say anything. You were here, so you might as well just tell him what you've been trying to tell him for ages. You stop right in front of him, "Eric, there's something I need to tell you. I talked to Four and that's why he sent me in here."

"Wait you talked to Four? About me?" Eric smirks and steps closer, causing you to blush.

"Hold on, you talked to him too didn't you, that's why he has us locked up in here?" You question smugly.

He steps closer, backing you against a wall, "What did you tell him Y/N?"

"What did you tell him?"

"I think you know sweetheart," He smirk, leaning close enough to allow you to smell the mixture of cinnamon and coffee on his breath.

"As do you," You try to keep the same suave attitude as him, but you just couldn't. Your knees were weak from the proximity and his words.

Without saying anything else, he pressed his lips against yours and kissed you passionately. He finally pulls away. You are thankful for the wall behind you and Eric's arms that are holding you up, without them, your legs probably would've given up on you.

"Th-that was..." You can't manage to form words.

He chuckles, "I never thought I'd see you at a loss for words."

You open your mouth, but quickly close it again, not wanting to embarrass yourself, and he smirks and continues, "Well, I need to finish up with my work, I'll see you tomorrow."

You nod, before making your way towards the door. As you turn the corner, you see Four leaning against the wall. He smirks when he sees you, "So? How did it go?"

"Fuck you Four," You try to sound angry, but you can't keep the giddiness out of your voice.

"I'll take that as, it went well," He chuckles.
