First shot at an EricXTris fanfic.
We'll def see a softer side of Eric, and a slightly/Suggestive abusive Four
Eric's Prov
We were in our apartment now, after 3 days of Tris receiving some iv fluids, which were stopped yesterday, and she started eating solids. Fours abuse went further than I thought. She had been close to starving, which resulted in a few more days. I had eased her on to the couch, before sitting beside her.
She smiled a bit to me. "What If I get pregnant with that asshole's child?" She asked. "He's not gonna be the father to that baby, even if he's the biological dad. I'm gonna raise it with you, if you get pregnant." She had refused the medicines to prevent it, said that it was wrong to her, even if the baby was conceived out of hate, it seemed wrong that it wouldn't get to see how wonderful the world could be. I couldn't help but smile a bit when she said that.
"You'd raise Four's baby with me?" She asked. I nodded and said "Yes. We can even let people believe it's my baby. I don't really care what the faction thinks." She smiled wider and said "Four'll know..." I shook my head. "No he won't. I made reports to Max on your behalf. Four's not aloud to see you unless I'm at your side, and if he touches you, either to hurt you or rape you, he'll be killed immediately, either by you or me."
"why would you tell Max that?" She asked, almost happily. "Because I love you, and you were screaming and clinging to me, and I knew Four did that to you. I know, I can't forgive myself for letting it go on for so long." I responded immediately. She said "I love you too, Eric. Thank you, for telling Max... I don't think I could've... And Don't blame yourself. I'm here."
"How many times did you try to escape?" I asked. "Including the successful one? 40. He always found me... and forced me back to him, promising it'd be different. He lied." I frowned, and said "Well I should've done something sooner." She smiled a bit and said "Stop blaming yourself. I'm alive and healthy because you were there."
I smiled and said "Okay. I'll stop blaming myself." She smiled at that before climbing into my lap. "Thank you, for everything Eric." "Anytime. Now, I think a bath and getting some nice clean clothes on will help. I'll wash all yours, they smell like that asshole... Which now that I think about it is why you could've been having nightmares." She said "probably." She went to the bathroom, and got in the tub. I gathered the clothes and put them in the washer, as a leader you had a full equipped house, in your apartment. Mine had like 8 rooms, not including mine and Tris's.
I didn't turn on the washer yet as it would mess up Tris's shower. I placed a pair of my pajamas on the counter, and went to start some dinner. I heard pounding on the door, so I went to get it. "Four." I said, trying to keep my cool. "Where is my girlfriend?! I know she's here."
I scoffed, and said "If you mean Your EX, and my Current Girlfriend, You don't need to know. You need to leave." I heard the bathroom door open. Four pushed his way in, but I knocked him out. Tris came over to me, but froze when she saw Four. "Go to the kitchen babe. Call Max. He's 1 on the phone." She nodded.
Tris's Prov
I didn't need to be told twice, I ran to the kitchen, finding the phone pushing one. "Max... It's Tris... I'm at Eric's... I'm like freaking out... Four's here... I don't know... I was in the shower... thanks Max..." I hung up and said "Max's on his way..." I checked dinner and started the was before going over to Eric. "Thanks for the clothes. They're so comfy." I said happily. He pulled me to his lap, and said "I'm glad."
Max came in, and said "What's happened?" Eric said "He was going for Tris, I stopped him. Yes I knocked him out, but in an effort to protect Tris..." I was cuddling closer to Eric, Max said "Well, good job. As head leader, I'd say you're on thin ice, but as the man whose taken you under his wing, I say right on. No punishment against you will be inflicted." I sighed with relief, as Max took Four out of the apartment.
"You Okay?" Eric asked locking the door. I nodded and said "Surprisingly, Yes."
