All Thangs Just Keep Getting Better For Erik
!!
Hey! Have fun!
!!
Carson went through Erik's closet and drawers, filing through suits and dress shirts and casually throwing them in a heap.
"Chr... Is..." Erik said teary-eyed. "Wah...Why?"
Christine chuckled, but as she opened her mouth, Jai grabbed her and said, "Okay, we have the lover ready and in check."
"Oh yeah." Replied Thom from the other side of the room.
"We need at least two coworkers and the best friend..." he said. "Oh, and that plain white background..."
Christine paused to think when Kyan gasped.
"Oh, my God!"
"Oh, my God, what is it?"
"His sheets are so purely white!"
Ted clutched his chest and turned to Erik. "Oh, dear Lord, are you sure you're straight?"
Erik exasperatedly ran his fingers through his hair. "Yes..." he replied in a shrill voice through gritted teeth.
Jai snapped his fingers. "Hey," he said taking a sheet from Erik's closet and opening it wide. "This can be our backdrop!"
Two minutes later, Jai, Thom and Ted were draping the sheets in the living room. The cameramen were lounging around. Kyan went to Erik's bathroom.
"Wow." He said. "You're not like most Parisians, are you?"
Erik nodded. "I take pride in my meticulousness with my toilet."
Speaking of toilet, Kyan reminded himself to inspect the actual toilet. He scanned the room quickly and fell to his knees. He hugged the white ceramic bowl. "Thank you for having a clean toilet."
Erik, though freaked, was slightly amused.
"That's just wonderful." He said, flipping open the toiletries closet... "Say, Erik, where do you keep your grooming and pampering products?"
Erik turned round. "Excuse me?"
"You know... Creams, moisturizers, do-it-yourself facials masks, shaving cream..."
"Oh... Well..."
"Aha!" He exclaimed. "A character flaw!"
"Well, I have better things to do..." retorted Erik stupidly.
"Oh, like drop perfectly divine chandeliers even when they compliment the red-and-gold of the theatre in a rich, ethereal manner?!?!" snapped Thom frustratingly.
"Awww..." said Carson as he gave Thom a hug. "There, there..."
Thom began to cry crocodile tears in an exaggerated manner.
Erik rolled his eyes and went off to find Christine. Surprised to hear her talking about him in the living room, he went to investigate.
"Erik... Hmmm... A gentleman indeed. Personally, I don't think he needs that exposure to culture. He has an innate sense of the class and romance too..." she said frankly. After a pause she smiled and continued. "I'd like him to socialize though..."
Erik walked in to see Christine seated on a stool, talking in front of Jai and his camera crew. After two seconds, he ran in the room.
"Hey, what are you doing with my good sheets?!" he cried. "I imported those from Barcelona!"
Christine looked quizzically at Erik. Jai waved him off and said to Christine, "Don't worry, hon, we'll just edit him out."
Christine nodded and continued her speech about Erik, whilst he watched on for curiosity, feeling both flattered and inquisitive. Could she love me? He thought.
"Hey, you better listen up here, lover boy." Said Jai, nudging Erik lightly in the rib. "This is a great self-esteem booster."
Erik paused and watched Christine fixing herself up. She looked up at him and smiled.
Gladly, he thought, feeling all smug and warm inside.

Isn't Christine being so sweet? layers on the sugar

Oh you reviewers! Ya'll rock my world! I'm so glad. Love and phantoms for you all!
Eowyn of Ithilien: I truly agree with you when it comes to compromising characters' personalities. There is a point here, I promise. I'm trying the best I can, reading essays about Erik and thumbing through interviews with the Fab Five, trying to keep it as close as possible. In fact, some of their answers are quoted from those said interviews and previous episodes. :-D (10 Points if you can identify the episode!) (Kidding.)
The Khanum of Persia: Oh thank you! I feel so flattered. I will do the very best to do this properly. Promise!
Megan The Phantom Girlie: No cheetah prints. Gotcha.
Erin: Thanks so much! Hugs for ya!
