Eric Derekson X Reader

your job was one that many thought scandalous, you worked in a sex shop, helping people to pick out just the right thing for them and their intimate life, sometimes people would drag their friends in and laugh at their reactions then buy something to put somewhere to freak them out, just like today, an eccentric man with a pink mustache had stepped into the shop, his rainbow suspender and tan khakis standing out amongst the black shelves and promiscuous toys, his eyes scanned the shop until they fell upon the underwear section, his features lighting up in a toothy grin half covered by his mustache.

"You can stay here Eric, I'm going to go buy more edible underwear!" he announced to the whole shop, it made you snicker as he strode over to the underwear and began browsing, you looked back to see who he was speaking with and found a man quite similar in build only he was beet red and curled into himself, eyes darting around as he gripped a small yellow rag in his hands, his Hawaiian shirt and glasses making him seem out of place, soon he slowly started to walk towards the counter, you smiled softly as he wiped the sweat from his face, the blush on his face spreading to the tips of his ears as he finally got to the counter, leaning on it slightly.

"Good afternoon, sir how may I help you?" you asked making him jump in surprise, he looked at you quickly before hanging his head and breathing a sigh of relief, readjusting his glasses "n-no, I'm fine, j-just nervous" he stuttered, you could tell he wasn't comfortable, his breathing was uneven, and his hands were trembling. "Are you sure you're ok, I could grab you some water from the back if you want" you whispered to him, his eyes darted to you before he raked a hand through his hair, knuckles whitening, around the yellow cloth, you were sure he was going to rip it at this rate, tears pricked his eyes. 

"I-if you wouldn't mind" he swallowed thickly, you nodded and quickly jumped up, turning to the door behind you and fetched a small cup with water, bringing it back out to the panicked man, as soon as you passed over the cup, he gulped it down as if this were the first drink he'd had in a millennium, he gently placed the cup down and after a few quick deep breaths he looked back up at you "T-thanks," he said, you grabbed the cup and smiled "it's alright, need anything else?" you asked, you watched him look for his compadre before looking back at you. "C-can I stay h-here for a while? until my f-friend gets back" you smile sweetly and nod, earning the slightest of smiles from the man.

"So your name is eric, right?" he nodded "mines Y/N, a pleasure to meet you" you stuck your hand out, and he quickly wiped his hands on his rag and shook yours, his hands basically enveloped yours before he pulled away to keep fiddling with his cloth "so is the guy browsing the underwear you friend or a sibling or something? you two look a lot alike," you asked, he thought for a moment "s-sort of, it's c-complicated" suddenly the door burst open and a man in an impeccable black suit walked in, followed by one other dressed very poorly like a doctor, you straightened when you saw how nervous them being in the same shop as eric made him 

"Wilford, come here now." you one in the suit demanded as Wilford popped his head over the isles "nu-uh you said I could go shopping!" they argued as the doctor one came up to eric and grabbed his arm "come on eric, we're leaving" you quickly rounded the counter look between the two newcomers "Excuse me I'm trying to run a business here, so take your squabble out of my fucking shop" you snapped, grabbing erics arm and dragging him back to the counter as the one in the suit dragged Wilford out of the door, the doctor following close behind, you grabbed a business card and scribbled your number onto it, giving it to the confused man

"If you want to contact me here's my number, you said" offering a warm smile as you put it into his pocket "a-alright, thanks, but I got to g-get going" you nodded and watched as he quickly left the shop, you rounded back around the counter and took the cup he drank from back to the back room.
