Phantom X Reader ~A Love For Erik~

The Confession

The previous day, Phantom had given me a tour of his home, along with walking around the outdoors.

But every time I had turned to look at him, I always wondered why he hid his face.  Perhaps he will let me see his full face now since I am more of a friend then an acquaintance to him.

I had been inside waiting for Phantom to return with more wood for the fireplace since it had been raining.

Placing down my book, I stood up to greet a shivering Phantom while wrapping a blanket around him

"Thank you (Y/N)" He nodded and placed the wood in the fire place

"Phantom... I am getting a bit tired just calling you by 'Phantom'  "

He paused putting the wood in and slightly turned his head to look at me

"Go on." He continued putting the wood in then stood up and looked at me while crossing his arms

"Well.. I was just wondering what your real name was" I cautiously mentioned

I heard Phantom sigh

"Erik"

Erik? It's going to be difficult calling him Erik, instead  of Phantom. But I don't mind

"Hmmm. Erik... I like it" I smiled warmly at him

"Thank you..." He showed a fake smile but I didn't mind

"So" I adjusted myself in the sofa "You never really took off your mask"

Erik nearly choked on on the water he had been drinking

I'm guessing he did not want to discuss that matter.

"(Y/N) I do not wish to speak about what is hidden under my mask...."

"Erik, what are you so afraid of?" I approached him slowly

"Please, (Y/N) I do not want to speak about my face..."

"I'm not gonna judge y-" I was cut off my an angry Erik

"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT WHAT HIDES UNDER THIS MASK!" Erik shouted

I was shocked and guilty because I had tried to bribe him to show what was under the mask

"I... I'm sorry.." I looked down and walked to the room I had been staying in

It's been half an hour since our little argument we had. I don't think he'll want me here anymore.

Speak of the devil.

There was a hesitant knock on my door. I opened it looking away from Erik

"(Y/N).... I am terribly.. Terribly sorry... It was not my intention to yell at you." Erik looked down slightly then looked up at me

"I'm sorry too.. I should have stopped trying to make you take off your mask" I bit my lower lip

Suddenly, I felt Erik wrap his arms around me.

He was hugging me

I smiled softly and hugged him back not letting go

After what seemed two minutes, Erik looked down at me and stared deeply into my (E/C) eyes

"I brought something for you" He took out deep red roses and some black ones and handed them to me

"Erik! I love them!" I grabbed them carefully and examined them

"I was hoping you'd say that" He chuckled and picked me up 'Bridal Style'

"I love you" The words erupted out of Erik's mouth

I guess we both got so caught up into the moment that we confessed our love for each other

"Erik, I love you too!" I giggled lightly then leaned in and kissed Erik deeply.

We kissed for a minute then paused to catch some air

"I have been yearning to tell you that for quite a while" He said breathlessly

"And I to you"  I smirked and Erik grinned mischievously before pulling me closer to him and kissing me as if I were his oxygen and he was needing to breathe.

The following day...

Erik's P.O.V

Last night had been a dream finally coming true

All my life I have wanted to hold someone in my arms knowing that they loved me.  Me and (Y/N) did not do anything else but kiss till we fell asleep

I was not gonna go too far. I had to resist.

Tempting.

But I had to resist.

This morning, I had woken up next to (Y/N) on the sofa with a Blanket on us both. I checked just to make sure we were fully clothed and we were. She was so peaceful when she slept.  Which seemed to calm me

What I cannot forget was about yesterday.

What if this is a wake up call? If I love (Y/N), I'm gonna have to show her my deformed face sometime.

But not now. I need to know that I can trust her. I need to know that she won't leave me just like Christine...

I got up and placed some fire wood into the fireplace for when (Y/N) woke up, she will be warm and comfortable.

I kissed her forehead and leaned back on the sofa, resting  while (Y/N) was asleep

All I could think of was the kiss me and (Y/N) shared....
