les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

116. Caught Under the Mistletoe

Imagine: Being caught kissing Eric under the mistletoe.

Prompt: You and Eric are kissing under the mistletoe, thinking nobody saw, but people did and they have pictures to prove it, for Anon.

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

You're sitting on a bar stool, at the annual Dauntless Christmas party, not really seeing the appeal in getting absolutely wasted and dancing on the dark floor, against other sweaty bodies.

You see a few of your friends pushing their way towards you, "Oh come on Y/N, quite being such a spoil sport."

"You asked me to come to this party Zeke, and I did. What more do you want from me?" You groan.

"Come dance with us," Shauna states.

"No," You say simply, "No way in hell."

"Oh come on Y/N," Zeke says.

"I don't dance."

"Just get off of the damn seat and let the music guide you," Zeke says mockingly. He takes your hand and pulls you up, "Come. On."

Your friends drag you the dance floor, and the moment you see the chance, you pull away from them. You walk to a fairly empty corner and lean against the wall, watching your friends from afar.

You're snapped out of your thoughts when someone stands next to you, "Never thought I'd see you here."

You instantly recognize Eric's cold voice, "I could ask you the same thing."

"Leaders are forced to attend all Dauntless events."

You nod, "My friends are assholes."

You stand there for a while, talking to Eric. You tilt your head up, laughing at a comment he made when you noticed something. The laughter instantly leaves your face; Eric watches you for a moment, and then follows your gaze: A mistletoe.

He looks back at you, eyebrow quirked. In attempts to keep up your sassy and confident image you say, "So what are you waiting for?"

He smirks and after taking a quick glance around the room, he grabs your waist and kisses you. Before you get the chance to respond, he pulls away, the smirk still dancing on his lips. The moment you come back to your senses, you whip your head towards your friends, "No need to worry, nobody saw."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Would it really be that bad if they did?"

"Not necessarily, they just wouldn't let me hear the end of it."

"Well, they didn't," He states simple, before walking away. You decide it would be best for you to call it a night as well.

You walk into the cafeteria the next morning, you find the only other person who doesn't look like a hungover zombie, and sit next to him, "'Morning Eric."

"Just can't stay away from me can you?"

"Better you than them," You gesture towards the majority of the Dauntless members.

You're enjoying your breakfast when, someone comes up from behind you, placing a picture on the table between you and Eric. Your eyes widen at the sight of you and Eric kissing under the mistletoe.

"In case you thought we didn't see," Zeke winks, "I'll let you two have your alone time now."

You turn back to Eric, looking mortified, and he just wears an amused expression, "If they've already seen, why don't we give them a proper show?"
