Thea and Eric

Thea sighed, holding the plate of strawberries towards Eric. No one really knew why she'd just decided to pawn the strawberries over to Eric, out of all people. Maybe it was the fact that he was her soulmate,maybe it was the fact that she enjoyed to torture people.

"Come on,please? Just try one!" she begged, pouting just a little.

He shook his head furiously, closing his eyes and making a whining sound at the back of his throat like some little five year old. "No! I've tried them when I was younger...I just don't like strawberries-" he didn't get to finish because she'd shoved one directly into his open mouth. He immediately spit it out. "Thea!"

She laughed, putting the strawberries down, "Okay,okay. You win." she sat down on the couch, pretending to act upset.

Unfortunately for him, Eric bought it. His shock melted and a sullen expression came across his face. "Thea?"

"Yes Eric?" she asked, hesitantly.

"Did I make you upset over some piece of fruit?"

"Yeah..." she turned her face away so he wouldn't see her smiling, trying to hold in her laughter that threatned to take over. Give it time, and he will give in. She thought to herself.

"It's just a strawberry,Thea..." he said, scooting closer to her. "And it's just...I don't like to eat them because...I think they're gross."

"So..." she paused, trying to decide whether or not to pull the card of seduction. Mainly since that really wasn't her department of expertise, mostly just Blaise's, but she decided to give it a shot. After all, Eric was so willing to her already.

"So what?" he asked,edging himself closer.

She pulled it,closing her eyes and smiling. "Because they're my favorite...Especially covered in chocolate." she tried her best to make her voice sound seductive, letting the last word linger in the air.

Eric gulped. The way she'd said it...It made his bones weak. Every nerve in his body told him to give into her, to just eat a dang strawberry and move on. But his mind thought, It's just a trick.

Eric's nerves protested. Shut up stupid brain!

"Ch-Chocolate?" his voice broke off at the end, and it gave her the satisfaction.

"Yeah," she fake-sobbed, covering her face with her hands. This was going to be great.

"Well, I guess I could try just one..." he saw the plate and grabbed the tiny thing, it didn't weigh anything, and it looked so harmless. Eric carefully dipped it in chocolate, watching the sweet liquid drip as he lifted it into his mouth, taking one bite.

And the world exploded. It was an explosion of flavor...Sweet and tangy all at the same time. It was utterly and utmost...Deliciously pleasant. He couldn't remember why he hated them so much, maybe it was the chocolate, or maybe it was the fact that Thea was smiling next to him.

"Do you like it now?" she asked, giving him a face that meant told you so.

He only nodded,his mouth full as he finished the tiny delicacy. As soon as he swallowed, he looked at her with bright eyes.

Thea smiled with joy. "See,I told you Eric. You absolutely enjoy them." Eric shook his head and leaned in the connect their lips together.

The kiss was as sweet as the strawberry itself, and he smiled as she returned the kiss willingly. Carefully, he wrapped an arm around her waist,leaving no space between them. Warmth radiated throughout them,forming a comforting bubble around them.

But it ended too soon as she pulled away,breathing rather hard. "You know,those strawberries aren't going to finish themselves,"

He smiled and looked at her. "What would I do without you?"

She shrugged, "Probably suffer from not tasting an explosion of flavor." her lips twitched, attempting not to curve into a smile but failing.

"Yeah,maybe...Hey, aren't you going to eat some too?" he asked, watching her get up and stretch.

"Nah, I don't really like strawberries that much."

Eric's eyes widened as he watched her walk away from the room, calling out, "Hey!"

I hope you enjoyed that, though I admit was kind of on the short side, sorry about that.
