Friends to Lovers

Friends to Lovers Pt. 18

Y/N made it. She finished her final fear simulation a few hours ago, but I finally got the result that she officially made it. All I wanted to do right now, was to find her, kiss her and make our relationship official.
I could barely wait until dinner, where all the initiates were told their final rankings, and had to lock myself in my office. Well, I was actually locked in my office by Max and Four.
Finally, at five, Max opened the door and together with Four, we walked to the dining hall. Waiting on the stairs, Max began his speech as soon as everyone was there.
My eyes immediately found Y/N, who looked rather worried about the results. There was no need to, and I tried to catch her eyes to tell her this, but she wouldn't look at me. No matter what I did.
After a few minutes, Max's speech was over and the board with the results lit up.
Y/N's eyes widened and a grin took over her face. She must've realised that she made it and even was in first place. Xavier and Lucy hugged her and the crowd lifted her up.
Smiling at her joy, I ignored Max's and Four's stares and walked downstairs, to meet my girlfriend.
I fought my way through the crowd, until I reached Y/N, who was still being passed around by the crowd. Pulling her down, her laughter died, but instead a soft smile spread across her lips.
"Hey there." Her voice was quiet and soft and I couldn't help but smile at her. "Hey."
The crowd around us walked back and gave us more space.
I still held Y/N slightly above the ground, my arms around her waist and hers around my neck.
"You did well." "Are you going to reward me?" Not answering, I just put my lips against hers. All around us, cheers could be heard from the other Dauntless. People were throwing their cups around and different liquids were raining down on us. Still, we kept on kissing, until we were out of breath and had to break apart.
Putting our foreheads together, we caught our breaths again, eyes still closed.
The others were still partying while Y/N and I left. Leading her to the roof, where I prepared a blanket, some pillows and dinner earlier, I didn't let go of her hand once.
We arrived and Y/N was obviously impressed. Her eyes widened and a soft gasp left her mouth.
"You did this?" She turned to me, a grin on her face. "Don't sound so surprised! I can be romantic if I want to. I just never want to." She laughed and pressed a quick kiss against my lips before she sat down on the blanket.
We spent the rest of the day up there and sooner or later, Y/N fell asleep in my arms.
It got chilly quiet soon, so I picked her up and brought her to my apartment.
Lying her down in my bed, I just stood there and looked at her. I still couldn't believe she was my girlfriend. She simply forgot everything I'd done to her, and forgave me. Leaving her alone, treating her like shit when she arrived. I didn't matter to her anymore.
I will never deserve her.

Y/N POV

I woke up to the mouth-watering smell of bacon and eggs. I was in Eric's apartment, he must've carried me back here yesterday.
Deciding to get up before he ate everything alone, I took a quick shower and pulled on one of his black shirts, that swallowed me hole.
Walking into the living room, the smell intensified and so did my hunger.
Eric stood in the kitchen, flipping bacon and listening to music that sounded out of the radio. He didn't notice me leaving the bedroom and I just had to take the chance.
Wrapping my arms around his waist from behind, I managed to make him jump slightly. His horrified expression changed into a adoring one as soon as his eyes found mine.
"Good morning kitten." One of his hands found mine and he squeezed them. "Kitten? I think like that..." I smiled into his back, hiding my blush.
We continue to chat, while Eric finished cooking.
After breakfast, he showed me to Max's office and told me that he would wait outside for me. Since we left early the day before, I didn't know what was waiting for me in there.

Entering the office, Max sat behind his desk, smiling at me.
"Y/N! How good to see you! Especially after you and Eric walked out early on us." He hugged me and let me sit down. "Okay, let's get down to business..." "To defeat the Huns."  It was barely above a whisper, but Max noticed and smirked. "You're here, so I can assign you a future job. And since one of our members put in a formal request, not that I would've chosen differently, I hereby ask you to become one of our leaders." Max had a proud grin on his face, waiting for my answer.
"I guess I already know that member that put in a request?" Right on time, the door behind me opened and Eric sat down beside me. "Yeah you do know him." Eric's voice was teasing. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
"I accept, Sir,"

Y/N POV

I was carefully walking through the Dauntless compound, one hand on my swollen belly, the other held a couple of files. Passing members, smiled at me sweetly and got out of my way. Everyone knew that they would feel the wrath of Eric If they made one wrong move towards me, especially now that I'm pregnant. Or maybe it's just that I'm nice to everyone.
Making my way to the training room, I passed Four and another leader, carrying out a beat-up initiate.
"Eric in a bad mood?" Without stopping, they nodded. Oh my.
It took me five more minutes to get to the training room. Even a snail would be faster than me.
Even from outside, I could hear my boyfriend's yells. He really was in a bad mood. Entering the hall, I watched the initiates trying to throw knives at the target, but they barely hit it. That's why Eric was so pissed off.
"Eric?" Hearing my voice, he immediately turned around. Shouting one last time at the initiates, he started walking towards me. "Hey kitten. What are you doing here?" He put his hands on my waist and pulled me into him. Well, as far as that was possible at least. "You forgot those this morning. And I got bored." Pressing my lips against his, I enjoyed the few seconds the kiss lasted. Since the initiates arrived, Eric was barely home. I missed him, but I won't tell him that.
Eric seemed to relax a little more with me next to him, but as soon as he saw the files I brought him, a stone-cold expression took over his face.
"Go back. And the next time I forget something, leave it be." With that he turned around and walked back to the initiates.
That...shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did. I just thought that Eric could be himself around me. Always, not just if he has time and we are alone.
Glancing one last time at the father of my child, I left the training room and walked back to our apartment.
Halfway there, I ran into Max. I was about to start a friendly conversation, when Jeanine rounded the corner behind Max.
And behind her, my father.
