Crappy Fanfiction

All you Needed to say:

ERIKA MOVED SWIFTLY THROUGH THE DENSE TREES, HOPPING IN BETWEEN BRANCHES, DUCKING LEAFY OVERHANGS. SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS ALONE, BUT SHE WAS QUITE THE OPPOSITE. FOR SOME TIME NOW HEROBRINE HAD BEEN TRAILING HER, SNEAKING UP, CLOSER AND CLOSER. HE WAS HOPING HE COULD HAVE A CHANCE AT SURPRISING HER, AS HE HAD A MOTIVE THAT AT THE MOMENT SEEMED QUITE DEVIOUS. ERIKA FINALLY STOPPED AT THE EDGE OF THE WOODS, GAZING AT THE GRADUALLY SHIFTING LANDSCAPE, GOING FROM GRASS AND BUSHES TO ROCKS AND POOLS OF WATER. SHE SAT ON A BOULDER, STARING AT THE SETTING SUN. HERO SLIPPED UP BEHIND HER, SUDDENLY WRAPPING AN ARM AROUND HER CHEST, AND STARTLING HER QUITE EFFECTIVELY.

"HERO! WHAT-" SHE BURST BEFORE HE CLAPPED A HAND OVER HER MOUTH.

"LOOK." HE SAID, FINALLY MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH HER " I AM ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO HATE ME ONCE IT'S OVER." SHE WAS SHAKING NOW, FEAR IN HER EYES.

"PLEASE, TRUST ME. I'M NOT GOING TO DO WHAT YOU THINK." SHE DIDN'T BEILIVE HIM. SHE WAS GOING TO CRY. HE LET HER GO. ERIKA HUNCHED OVER , CLUTCHING HER ARMS, CATCHING A FEW RAGGED BREATHS, HOT TEARS STINGING HER EYES, AND BURNING DOWN HER CHEEKS.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" SHE SCREAMED AT HIM, HER VOICE ABLAZE WITH FURY UNSEEN BY ANYONE BEFORE HEROBRINE. HE SCARED HER A LITTLE, STILL, EVEN AFTER ALL THE YEARS THEY'D BEEN SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. SHE WAS AFRAID THAT HE WOULD HURT HER ONE DAY.

"I-I..."

"WELL?!" SHE COULD SEE HE WAS CRYING,TOO. EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE A MEZMERIZING AND BLANK WHITE, ERIKA COULD SEE THE ANGUISH IN HEROBRINE'S EYES. HE SAT ON HIS KNEES ARMS AT HIS SIDES, SIGNALING DEFEAT.

"ERIKA." SHE DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIS VOICE, IT WAS WEAK AND PAINED. "I'M SORRY. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOU HAVE EVERY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO HATE ME."

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT, HERO?" ERIKA ASKED. THE FURY ON HER FACE WAS REPLACED WITH COMPASSION AND PITY.

"I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THE ONE THING THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN ON MY MIND."

"WHAT WOULD THAT BE?" HEROBRINE FROWNED.

"THAT'S THE PROBLEM."HE SAID AS HE SAT DOWN NEXT TO HER, " I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, AND IF I TRIED TO SAY WHAT I WAS THINKING, IT WOULDN'T COME OUT RIGHT."

"WHAT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT ABOUT IT?"

"IT'S TOO SIMPLE. I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING NICE AND LONG AND POETIC, BUT I-I JUST CAN'T."

"TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. PLEASE. I CAN UNDERSTAND."

"I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, ERIKA." SHE TURNED QUITE PINK AS HIS FINGERS INTERTWINED WITH HERS. ERIKA SEEMED QUITE UNRESPONSIVE TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, AS SHE SIMPLY SAT AND LOOKED FLUSTERED.

"IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO, I CAN SHORTEN IT UP EVEN MORE." HE LEANED OVER AND KISSED HER ROUGHLY, WITH AN UNRIVALLED PASSION. THEY BOTH OPENED THEIR EYES, AND ERIKA TURNED BEET RED.

"I-I-I... ME, TOO HERO." SHE SAID.

"SORRY, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. COULD YOU SHORTEN UP YOUR RESPONSE FOR ME, MAYBE?" HE ASKED HER, WHILE CUPPING A HAND AROUND HIS EAR JOKINGLY.

"YOU DOG." SHE GIGGLED, AS SHE WRAPPED HER ARMS AROUND HEROBRINE'S NECK AND KISSED HIM.
