Eric Carr #1

my fave

"Mornin', doll."
"Morning, Eric."

He sat on the bed, running his fingers through my tangled mess of hair, and I moved my head into his lap.

"We should do something today, sweetheart." I mumbled, staring up into his eyes.

"Well, I actually had somethin' in mind. You up for a surprise?"
"Depends. Is it a good surprise?"
"Well, I do hope so." He grinned nervously, and I nodded.
"Alright, sounds like a plan."

---------------------------------------

"Alright, open your eyes."

Eric had given me a tape, with no writing other than my name.

"You want me to play it?"
"Well, I don't want you to eat it."
"Sarcastic much?" I shoved him playfully and put the tape in the cassette player, hearing nothing but random piano keys.

I looked at Eric for some sort of explanation, when a beautiful piano melody began playing.

Then his voice:

"Y/n, I hear you callin',
But I can't come home right now,
Me and the boys are playin',
And we just can't find the sound.

Just a few more hours,
And I'll be right home to you.
I think I hear them callin',
Oh, Y/n, what can I do?"

The song continued as I turned to Eric, who was tugging at a loose thread on his sleeve and staring at the floor.

"Hey." I whispered softly, shifting closer to him. He didn't look up straightaway, but when he did; his eyes were a little bloodshot, almost as if he were ready to cry.

"I love it." I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck. He stared down again; as if he was frightened to look at me.

"Sweetheart, please. Look at me."
"I'm sorry about not being here all the time, y/n."

"Don't apologise." I murmured, placing my head on his chest. "You don't have to apologise."

He stroked the back of my head softly, placing a gentle kiss on the top of my head and sighing.

"I could be better. And I wanna be, for you. I love ya, and I'm never gonna stop, y'know?"
"I love you too, Eric Carr. And I think you're perfect. We'll have our ups and downs, but I love you just the way you are."
"God, I don't deserve you." He purred, kissing my neck tenderly.

He placed his hands under my thighs and picked me up, holding me close as we swayed to the song on the tape.
