Rose Buds Don't Last Forever (Phantom x Reader)#Wattys2016

Chapter 12

It had been 3 mounths since you learned you were pregnant. Everything was looking quite well, you went to go talk to Christine.

"What are you going to do after the baby is born?" Christine asked.

"I don't know." You thought.

"How is your baby?"

"He's doing great." Christine smiled. "Raoul and I are going on a day tomorrow can you watch Gustave?"

"Yes."

"I got to go to rehursals, you can watch if you want." Christine left the room. You went and sat in box five waiting for Erik. You waited for about five minutes then you felt his touch.

"Good afternoon mon amour." He smiled.

"Good afternoon to you aswell." You bowed your head. "Christine is the best dancer out there." You sighed.

"No you are." Erik said sternly.

"How so?" You looked at the masked man.

"You have more skills mon ange." He kissed your head.

"No, I don't." You blushed.

"Yes you do and stop denying it."

"Then stop denying your apperance." He fell silent.

"It's hard not to when everyone calls you the devil's child and when they laugh." He broke the silence.

"How did you become the opera ghost/phantom your not dead." You exclaim

"I'm dead on the inside mon amour." He looked down to Christine." I became the opera ghost because I hide in the shadows and I was "haunting" Christine and the Opera house."

"Well you are not the Phantom any more your Erik, my Erik." You smile and kiss him. You saw Mademe Giry cane a few peopld for messing up or their posture was bad. Carlotta was the star again.

"Carlotta makes me sick." You glare.

"That's why I dropped the backdrop on her." Erik smirked.

"You should do it again." A sparkle gleamed in your eyes.

"I don't know mon amour."

"You said I was't the phantom anymore and I want it to stay that way for you." His blue gold eyes sparkled.

"One more act of mischief please." You pouted.

"No, mon amour unstand you are the reason why I don't do mischief anymorw." He smiled.

"Fine." You got up and went to the stage functioning and dropped the backdrop on Carlotta. You went back to box five and Erik wasn't amused.

"Seriously." He glared.

"Yes, I might have to be the new Phantom." You joked.

"But you have a dancing career."

"I haven't been dancing in 5 months." You looked to your fiancé.

"You will be soon."

"In six months." You groaned.

"That's not a load of time." He glanced at Christine.

"It's half a year!" You threw your hands up.

"You know Don Juan was the first opera I ever stared in." He remembered the tragic night.

"Yes and it was your last. It was all over the papers." You laugh

"It was." He looked shocked.

"Yes my mom told me and I also read the paper."

"It didn't take long for them to rebuild it." You looked around.

"Yea and they never found me." Erik  said triumphantly.

"Your lucky, if they did you would be executed." You thought.

"I know." He looked down. You look at his face and saw the mask, you grabbed it and threw it on the stage, a few dancers crushed it.

"You don't need that." You stroke his raven black hair. He used his hand to cover his face.

"We're in public I need it." He cries.

"No you don't." You smiled. He kept his hand on his right side of his face. You tried to pull his hand off but he was very tensed so you couldn't pull it off.

"Please Erik." You cried. He just stayed like that looking down at the stage.

"You don't understand whatbit's like to be denied into society." His dark lashes caught some tears.

"But I'm here, you caressed his cheek. He relaxed a bit and let you take his hand off his face.

"There you go." You smile.

"I need to go, rehursals are over." He walked off.

"Wait!" You run for him.

"What mon amour." He turned around.

"Can I come with you?"

"No need to ask, just come mon ange." He smiled. You happily followed hin down to the lair.

"What do you need to do?" You ask curiously.

"I need to make a new mask." He bluntly said.

"No you don't!" You exclaimed.

"Please mon armour." He pouted.

"No!" You scream.

"That mask concealed this." He pointed to his deformed face.

"You said I would never judge you and I never will so please." You screamed.

"There is nothing you can do to stop me." He said hatefully.

"I know." Tears stained your cheeks as you ran up stairs.

"What's wrong?" Christine's voice was near.

"It's Erik." You rolled your eyes.

"Why don't you dump him?"

"I love him!" You fall your knees.

"Do you need anything?"  She asked politely.

"I would like some silence thank you."  You smiled and bow your head. She left and you were left alone in the Prima Donna room.

"Why mon amour why?" You cried.
