Mistletoe

(Eric x Reader)

christmas special number 1 (mistletoe)

**********************************

You stood your ground with a defying glare, not backing away as Eric towers over you with one of his usual challenging expression that made most people very uncomfortable. Letting Eric win was something you hated and he wouldn't get the reaction out of you that he obviously wanted.

Every fibre of you screamed to just take a few steps back and let him have his victory but somehow you couldn't. You stood there, glued to the ground, the mistletoe hanging above your head and watched as he stepped closer. Too close for your comfort.

"You look a little nervous Y/N." His hand softly brushes against your cheek and you shudder at the unusual soft touch. It wasn't like him and actually did make you a lot more nervous than any smart ass comment would have done, "Anything bothering you?"

"Just fine..." You mumble, slightly biting your lip and clenching your fists to keep control over your body.

Your pounding heart did not help at all to keep you calm and the close proximity to Eric wasn't something that did either.

"Are you sure?" He asks with a smug look, daring you one last time to give up before making his move.

You didn't know why but somehow Eric had put a special interest in you after you transferred to dauntless. Knowing full well what kind of jerk he was, you had tried your best to keep a low profile and stay out of his business. Obviously it hadn't worked very well. You had kept your move shut and didn't get involved in anything, always being early for training and keeping up a good performance. There had been no indicator to make him go after you and yet he had easily seen through your charade. Eric wasn't an idiot and the disdain for his actions must have been clearly written on your face, even though you tried to hide it. A fact that made it only more exciting for Eric to tease you at every given opportunity.

Your thoughts are quickly brought back to reality as you feel his hands cupping your cheeks, body pressed against you. He smirks one last time before his lips capture yours in a kiss that seems way too gentle for Eric, yet you were practically melting and leaned into him. To your utter shame you did very much enjoy this, kissing him back immediately while you put your arms around his neck. You'd never hear the end of this and he'd probably tease you about it forever but right now you really did not care.
