Mirrors - Erik Lehnsherr

Erik bounced his leg nervously, but he could feel himself relax at just the sight of you, not even a foot away from him.

"So," you began, looking him dead in the eye. "What's this thing you wanted to tell me?" You were bouncing your leg nervously as well, but when Erik's eyes met yours, you relaxed.

"I think I'm in love with you and you don't get how much that fucking scares me," he blurted out, cursing himself for not keeping his composure. "I don't want to hurt or lose you, (Y/N), and I'm worried that if I love you and you love me, then you'll get hurt, then I'll lose you."

"Erik," you chuckled softly; neither of you had realised, but your legs were bouncing in unison, a perfect mirror of one another's anxiety. "I feel the same. What if... What if we take things slow, get... Used to it? Y'know, that stuff?"

"I'd love to."
