Imagine: Falling while putting up Christmas decorations and Eric catching you.
*************************************
"Deck the halls with bells of holly, falalalalalalalala," You sang as you hung decorations up in the Leader's Room.
It was the week of Christmas and you were one of the few Dauntless leaders who was actually in the spirit of things -most of the others had 'a reputation to keep'.
Throughout the day, you would move you ladder around, going from wall to wall, and the others would occasionally visit you, taking the time to help you if you needed any. All but one of course, Eric.
Eventually, he did come in, rolling his eyes at your greeting and headed straight for the coffee machine, "I guess we know who's getting coal for Christmas this year."
He threw a glare your way before sipping his coffee and pulling out his phone.
You shrugged, turning back to your decorations. As you climbed higher up the ladder, you could feel that the top step wasn't completely stable, but your Dauntless nature kicked in and you ignored it -you only needed to be this high for a short moment.
"Tis the season to be jolly, falalalal-AHHH!" You screamed, as you lost your balance and fell from the ladder.
Within seconds, Eric was under you, catching you before you hit the ground.
You look up at him, heat rushing to your cheeks, both from the scare of the fall and from being so close to him, "I-er-tha-thank you."
He placed you back on the ground and leaned in, for a moment you thought he was going to kiss you, but instead, he whispered in your ear, "Am I still going to get coal this year?"
"No," You squeaked.
"Good," He simply stated, before picking up his cup of coffee and walking out of the room.
You are left standing wide-eyed and confused, what just happened...?
