“What are you doing here?” Eric asked, slightly irritated that he had to come down to the training area again today.
“I’m training. What does it look like?” Y/n stated not even turning to look at the annoyed leader. She just continued on punching the punching bag.
“Why are you training right now?” he asked, taking another step into the huge room.
Y/n shrugged, changing her stance before continuing on. “Because I want to and I can.”
Eric sighed, done with her answers to his questions. He walked over to her with heavy, loud steps. “You have a concussion. You shouldn’t be doing much of anything right now.”
Y/n didn’t stop before hearing his words which just pissed Eric off so he reached out and grabbed her bicep to physically stop her movements.
“Why do you care?” Y/n glared at him as she asked the question. Not even bothering to struggle in his grip.
Eric growled her name “Y/n-”
“No, Eric. Why do you care? You’re always giving me shit and you hate my brother. So why do you give a damn?” Y/n shook her head, cutting him off. Y/n ripped her arm out of his hold, staring at him right in the eyes.
“Your brother irritates me.” Eric grumbled narrowing his eyes at the y/h/c-ered girl in front of him.
“Oh, no shit.” she tipped her hand letting out a scoff.
“But” he interrupted looking off in the distance. “You don’t.”
“What do you mean?” Y/n asked, now intrigued and confused. Especially at the fact that he wouldn’t look at her.
“If I tell you will you come rest?” Eric bargained looking her in the eyes with raised eyebrows.
“Will you actually tell me?” she questioned back matching his expression.
“Yes” he growled back, staring at her waiting for her response.
“Fine.” Y/n nodded in agreement. It wasn’t a bad deal, plus she was very interested in what he had to say. Y/n wanted to know his reasoning for caring about her or at least so he says.
With her now in agreement Eric gave a curt nod and grabbed her hand. At first Y/n didn’t know where he was leading her but once he turned them down a specific hallway she knew where they were going.
“You gonna tell me now what you meant earlier?” Y/n asked while looking around the blonde Dauntless leaders apartment.
The two stood across from each other in the makeshift living room just staring at each other. Eventually Eric spoke shifting foot to foot. “I’m not good with words and you know that.”
“Then show me.” y/n suggested Y/n holding her arms out to her side.
Eric nodded at her suggestion, he even had the best idea on how to prove it. Eric strutted over to her in the short distance between them and grabbed her, pulling her into his body. Reaching up and cupping her cheeks bringing her into a rough but slow kiss. And Y/n kissed back. The two fell back onto the couch, conveniently Y/n fell onto Eric’s lap.
“I care about you. If it isn’t obvious now.” Eric said with a tilt of his lips up into a smirk. He was giving her a look that y/n had never seen on him before, it almost seemed like love.
“It is. I care about you too, just FYI.” Y/n smiled at him, resting her hand around his neck.
“I figured by the way you're holding tight to my shoulders and neck. And you kissed back.” he stated holding onto her waist and back tightly. Beyond happy to finally hold her the way he’s wanted to for years.
“Shut up” Y/n scoffed with a laugh leaning down once more to connect their lips.
“Now as much as I’d love to continue this, and you know I would.” Eric pulled away, giving her a very knowing look with a hint of lust. “Our deal still stands. You need to rest.”
“Seriously?” Y/n asked with raised brows in shock, confusion, and annocance.
“Yup.” Eric smiled triumphifully.

“Mathews!” Eric called out with a smirk as he saw Y/n exit the hallway near the dining hall.
“You know I have a first name.” Y/n turned around crossing her arms over her chest. Eric knew she hated her mom’s views and being called by her old last name. She’s not Erudite anymore.
Eric gave a nod as he walked over to her, standing in front of her. “Yeah, but that’s for more intimate-”
“Shut up.” Y/n giggled and slapped him on the bicep as Eric chuckled, moving his hands to her hips.
“Where are you off to?” Eric asked as Y/n moved her arms to wrap around his neck. Normally Eric didn’t like showing PDA, unless it was to show she was taken.
“Need to talk to Four about some stuff.” She answered, tilting her head. It wasn’t easy to have Four as a best friend and date Eric. But the two agreed to be sival for her sake.
“Divergent stuff?” Eric spoke quietly, so no one would hear around him. When she had first told him about being Divergent, Eric didn’t take it well at first but then he realized he didn’t care. He loves her anyway.
“Will you keep it down. You know it could get me killed.” Even though he was quite Y/n still was scared at any possibility of anyone knowing. Being Divergent is a death sentence.
Eric nodded as a sigh of apology, moving his right hand up and down her back to comfort her growing nerves. “Is it about the nightmares?”
Y/n nodded with a grimace. “They have to do with my fears and with what I am, he's the best to talk to about it. And he’s my friend.”
Eric rolled his eyes and bit the inside of his cheek at his sight irritation. “Don’t remind me.”
“You're lucky I know what part of that you're referring to.” Y/n smirked, poking him in the chest.
“Oh, what part?” Eric played along, hoping to stall her a little longer.
“The Four part. He’s my best friend, has been since initiation and it bothers you like no other.” Y/n smirked a little, but in her defense she tried to hide it.
Eric shrugged. “I don’t like sharing.”
Y/n let out an amused soft laugh. “I’ve noticed.”
“You know I love you and I don’t care about the Divergent past, right?” He wanted to make sure she knew, he always made sure. Yeah he got annoyed that she’s friends with Four but her being Divergent? That doesn’t bother him.
y/n smiled. “I know. You always reassure me of that.”
Eric nodded. “And I’ll continue to.”
Y/n moved to leave his embrace, really needing to go see Four. “Love you.”
Eric pulled her into a rough kiss before letting go of her waist and back. “Love ya too.”
“I’ll see you later.” Y/n smiled at him turning around and heading off to figure her nightmare, fear problem out.
^ ^ ^
After about an hour Four and Y/n sat down, joined by Tris.
“The only thing I can think of is that your fears are changing.” Four stated leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
“But how can I have less fears then when we first came here? How can they change?” Y/n wondered out loud confused. Shouldn’t she have more over time not less?
“I don’t know, Y/n.” Four wished he could give her an explanation, but he had nothing.
“Maybe its Eric.” Tris said, jumping into the conversation.
“Huh?” Y/n turned to her younger friend with confusion and curiosity. Four looked to Tris with a furrowed expression.
“Well he’s protective of you. He’d kill for you, so what if the feeling of protection he gives you is making some of your fears go away.” Tris explained what she meant.
“She has a good point.” Four looked at Y/n.
“Well that’s a development.” Y/n let out an amused puff of air.
“Bad?” Tris tilted her head, looking at her friend trying to see how she was feeling about this new ‘development’ as she called it.
“No.” Y/n shook her head.
“He’s been worried. You should tell him.” Four stated. He may not get along with Eric but he could tell how worried he’s been over Y/n’s situation. Eric could hide it well but Four could still see it.
“Yeah.” Y/n spoke, grabbing her jacket before standing up and heading towards the door. “Yeah, I’m gonna do that. See ya both tomorrow.”
Once Y/n left Four and Tris she headed to the training room, knowing that Eric was training the intaties today. It wasn’t hard to find him once entering the big room. He stood out.
“Hey handsome.” Y/n said as she came up behind him, wrapping her arms around his torso.
“Hey sexy.” He smirked, and as he expected her reaction was to slap him on his arm. It caused him to chuckle.
“Stop it.” Y/n laughed at his behavior. Always so different with her then around anyone else. “Can we talk?”\
“Yeah,” Eric was trying not to be worried. He turned his focus back to the intimates. “Intaites! We’re done for the day. Get out.”
After that they both headed to their shared apartment. They’d been sharing a living space since a little after they finished initiation. Once inside Eric shut the door behind them for privacy.
“So did you and Four figure out what's going on?” he asked and Y/n could see some concern in his eyes.
y/n nodded and licked her lips. “Yeah, about that.”
“What?” He asked gruffly.
Y/n went over and sat on their couch, Eric followed suit. “My nightmares have been odd. Like you knew and we found a few things out.” Y/n took a deep breath before continuing, looking him in the eyes. “I have less fears now. That’s why I keep reliving some of them. My nightmares seem to be the fears I still have.”
“How's this happening? Is it a Divergent thing?” Eric didn’t know much about Divergent. No one really did know anything about Divergents since they were killed on spot after being found out.
“No it’s not a Divergent thing.” She laughed lightly. Y/n leaned in and pulled him into a kiss. When she pulled away she told him. “Its a you thing.”
“Me?” Eric raised his brows in disbelief.
“Yup. You.” Y/n nodded in confirmation of his question.
“Can you explain?” he asked, still very confused. How is he the cause?
“Trus has this theory and Four and I agree with it.” Y/n scooted closer, grabbing his hands in hers. Smiling shyly up at him. “We think I’m having less face because you make me feel safe.”
“That's the goal.” Eric smirked proudly. That was the goal, to protect her. Make her feel safe. And he was relieved that nothing serious was wrong with her. “So many fears have you lost exactly?”
Y/n laughed in amusement towards his reaction. “Cocky much?”
Eric pulled her by the hips to straddle his lap. “Hey, if I’m responsible…”
He two was amused, but this was because of different reasons.
“Thank you.” Y/n thanked her tattooed brute. With the look of confusion back in his eyes, she continued. “I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Not exactly. You couldn’t. But thanks anyway and for protecting me and making me feel safe in general.”
Eric placed a hand on the back of her head and stared directly in her eyes. “You're mine. No one will harm you on my watch.”
Y/n smiled brightly at his declaration. “Don’t tell my mom.”
Eric scoffed. “I don’t tell your mom shit.”
“That's one of the reasons I love you.” Y/n smirked, leaning her forehead against his.
Eric grabbed her, pulling her closer, holding her tighter in his grip as he kissed the column of her neck. “What are the other reasons?”
Y/n let out a moan as he continued to kiss and suck on her neck. “Well if we head over to the bedroom I could-”
“Done” Eric said, effictley cutting her off. He stood up and carried her to their bedroom. All the while Y/n laughed at his actions and looked forward to the night's activities.
