les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

126. Challenged

Imagine: An initiate challenging you, a leader, to a fight because she likes your boyfriend, Eric.

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

"Hey muffin," you tease, walking up to your boyfriend and fellow leader, Eric. He simply rolls his eyes in response. You couldn't quite remember when you started calling him that, but you knew it was because he once told you that you were too soft and you had responded with 'whatever you say, muffin.' and the nickname just stuck, much to his displeasure, "What are we focusing on today?"

"Sparring," he states simply.

The initiates eventually start trickling in, ending with Carol, an ex-Candor who had an annoying infatuation with your boyfriend. She waves at him, batting her eyes flirtatiously, "Hi muffin!"

Bitch, what?! You're about to go at her but Eric grabs your arm, stopping you, "Don't forget who you're talking to initiate, another comment like that and you're out!" He barks.

If looks could kill, yours would have her dead on the ground. Even as she walks away, defeated due to your boyfriend's words, you can't shake off the feeling of needing to punch her in her pretty little face.

Eric can sense your anger and he sends you a reassuring smile.

You spend the rest of that training session trying to get in between Eric and her constant flirtations, she finally gets fed up, "I'm sorry but do you have a problem?"

"You asked for help, as a trainer it's my responsibility to help you, no matter how much I may not want to," you respond with a sarcastic smile.

"I asked him for help, not you," she chides, gesturing towards Eric.

"Well, unfortunately darling, if I don't get to choose the initiates I train, you sure as hell don't get to choose who trains you."

"Bitch," she mutters under her breath, her two minions snicker at the comment, you roll your eyes and decide to walk away, but what she says next stops you, "I'd like to see her weak ass get in a fight, I could beat her in a minute."

You spin on your heel, "Excuse me?"

You have Eric and Four's attention at this point, and that of a few other initiates. She looks taken aback, but she doesn't back down, "I said I'd like to see you fight me, you're all talk Y/N."

You blink at her, refraining from snapping her neck right then and there, relax Y/N, that's not how rational people react to things. Before you can say anything, Eric steps forward, "In the ring, now. Y/N, please join her."

The initiates all watch as you lead her to the ring and you can see her nerves are slightly showing. You may not have looked like the strongest person in Dauntless, but something that new people didn't know about you was that you were known for knocking out your opponent with one hit. Give her a sarcastic smile.

You let her throw a few punches, blocking each of them easily, within two short minutes, you get bored and you strike her in the temple with the knife-edge of your hand (please don't try this at home kids!), knocking her out instantly. There's a few audible gasps from the initiates, but Four and Eric just have smirks plastered on their faces, "Unfortunately, she's still alive, I just knocked her out," you shrug, before turning to leave, but you pause and turn to Eric, "Oh, I need to talk to you..."

"Alright," He nods, "You're dismissed."

The initiates start leaving and Eric follows you to empty corridor, the moment you two are alone you snake your head around the back of his neck and pull him down, pressing your lips to his. He eventually pulls away and you mutter, "You're mine."
