You're all I need
Water dripped onto the floor making small puddles as I walked across the tile. I made my way to my bedroom, avoiding puddles as I walked. I took my towel and dried off my body the best I could. I threw on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt than brushed out my hair.
I heard a knock at my door.
"Who is it?" I called putting my brush down and moving towards the door.
"Who do you think it is?" The voice said from the other side. I smiled and opened the door.
"I just wanted to make sure it wasn't some creep knocking at my door," I laughed.
"Yes, I'm the creep who lives across the hall in the Xavier mansion," he said, stepping into my room. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"How are you, Erik?"
"I'm better now that you're here," he said. I smiled and punched him jokingly on the arm. I flopped onto my bed, Erik following close behind me.
"So what do I owe this wonderful visit to?" I asked him, rolling onto my side so I could see him better.
"Do I need to have a reason to see my best friend?" he asked pulling a strand of hair out of my face.
"I guess not," I said, "But normally you tell me when you're coming." He looked down at my bed and started to rub his arm. I looked into his eyes and saw a glossy coating fill his eyes.
"Erik, what's wrong?" He looked up at me, placing a hand on my face. He sat up and I saw a slight shiver roll down his back.
"Erik."
"Something happened," he said. I sat up next to him.
"What's happened?" I asked placing a hand on his shoulder. He brushed it off and moved towards my dresser.
"I don't want to say," he said looking at me through the mirror.
"Erik you can tell me anything. You know this I'm your best friend," I said moving to stand in front of him.
"That's the problem," he said, "It's about you."
"What about me?" I asked. He didn't reply. "Erik Lehnsherr tell me what it is." He turned to face away from me, but I caught his shoulder and turned him around. He was crying and I felt my heart drop in my chest. It wasn't like Erik to show emotions like this. I've only seen him this upset once in his life. We don't speak of that day anymore.
"Ich Kann es dir nicht Sagen," he yelled. I froze. Erik never yells at me.
"What did you just say to me?" I said my voice stern, offended, and hurt.
"Ich Kann es dir nicht Sagen," he said again. He started to move towards the door, but I stopped him from leaving.
"What?"
"Please (y/n), just let me go," he begged. Ripping his hand from my grasp.
"What can you not tell me?" I asked, "What is so important that you can't tell me. We tell each other everything Erik. So just please tell me." I pushed him down onto my bed. He flew up off the bed and pushed to the door again. I grabbed his hand and he stopped. His eyes were bright red and his face was swollen.
"Please Erik," I begged, and that's when he snapped.
"Verdammt," he cried, "Ich Liebe Dich. I love you. I love you more than just friends. That's what I can't tell you. I don't want to ruin our friendship because it's the best thing to ever happen to me, but I don't want to be just friends anymore. What more do you want me to say."
I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. I just stared at him. He turned to leave, but my body regained movement and I grabbed his wrist. I turned him towards me once more and placed a hand on his face. I reached up towards his cheek and pulled him close to me planting a kiss on his lips. He was startled, but after a second he melted into the kiss. We broke apart and I looked at the floor awkwardly. Erik took my face in his hands and pulled me back up to him. He kissed me again. This one was harder than the last.
"Erik Lehnsherr I love you more than anything in this world," I said, "I didn't know how you felt and I was scared to tell you."
"I love you so much more than you know," he said pulling a strand of hair away from my face.
"Will you be my Girlfriend?" he asked.
"What the heck do you think loser," I said laughing, pulling him into a hug. We moved to lay on my bed and I just stayed in his arms. There was no point in trying to leave. I felt safe and loved, and that's all I needed.
