******* """

I was in the training room with Eric training, and trust me, he wasn't my first choice. When I first got here I made a friend, Tris. And we used to train together.

But ever since she caught the eye of a certain number named trainer, I've had no one to train with.

Four and Tris tried to make it up to me by having Eric train with me. And well it wasn't the worst thing ever, he wasn't that bad, in fact he and his over confident selfish persona were kind of growing on me.

We were in the training room after everyone had gone to bed, we always met after everyone was gone, I don't know why but Eric insisted on it.

We were training with the punching bag, he was holding it while I was punching the bag, which was hanging from the stone gray ceiling.

My hands were balled up and held up against my chest, I took a deep breath as I starting moving my arms at alternate times, each time hitting the bag, knocking it as far as Eric would let the slack.

He had his left arm around one side and his right arm around the other, holding it as steady as he could.

He didn't look like he was having any trouble holding it, which was making me swing harder and faster.

"So how was your day?" I question, knowing he doesn't like it when I talk during training.

"Fine. Now pick it up, let's go" he answered with a monotonous tone.

I swing double with my left, trying to throw him off. But it doesn't work, so I swing with my right arm, across the front near his face.

He looks at me with a "really" face, his one eyebrow goes up, and it's like he's questioning what I just did.

I nervously race my eyes back and forth from anywhere but him, as I was afraid he would snap.

"Just finish your last set." He says silently, it almost seems like he's trying to control himself. Wait what Eric, control himself I don't think so.

"Ok whatever you say," I reply and start hitting the bag again. My arms grow tired from all the training so I start to slow down hoping he will notice and let me go for the night.

"I said harder," He shouts though gritted teeth.

I don't know what's wrong with him. But I will not miss this chance for a joke.

"That's what she said," I reply. I burst out laughing as soon as I finished saying it, the tears just keep coming and I can't stop. Gosh I'm so immature.

Eric just stared at me with cold eyes, he's clearly had enough of me for the night. And I feel I'm about to get yelled at.

"That's it I'm done Maney, I'm done. All I do is come here to help you, and yet all you seem to do is make jokes and play around. I've had enough and I'm done." He yells. As he lets go of the punching bag and takes a step toward me.

My laughter has stopped, but I'm still holding my smile trying not to laugh.

"STOP SMILING," He yells angrily.

I turn my smile to a straight line and begin to get a little angry. "Why can't we have a little fun while training?" I ask with my arms crossed over my chest, "And I do not joke around the whole time." I add

"Because, it's training not play time. And yes you do, all you do is make fun of me and disrespect me. Even after I chose to help you train." He emphasizes the 'chose'

That made me mad. For one, it's my personality, I joke around a lot. And second, I do not disrespect the man one bit.

"I do not," I yell back like a child.

"Yes you do,"

"Do not."

"Yes you do," he replies the same way. But this time there's a little glint in his eyes. And something different about his smirk to, it's almost as if, there's a small smile.

I shake the thought off.

"Whatever I'm leaving. Great session." I sarcastically state as I walk out of the room and walk down the halls to the initiates rooms.

*****time skip to next day, brought to you by doctor strange*****

I walk into the training room with all the other initiates. Today is sparring, and Eric gets to choose our partners, I pray to god he doesn't give me one of the dauntless born.

I look over to Tris and whisper, "Who do you think he's going to pair you with?"

She looks at me and shrugs her shoulders, "Probably some weak guy, since he thinks I'm the worst person here."

"Well not anymore since you been training with Four, right?" I question.

She blushes and looks back to the crowd. I notice the trainers and leaders are coming with today's match ups and what not.

I see Eric walk in, his eyes instantly meet mine, and he gives me a sinister smile.

Oh great.

Everyone shuffles closer and gathers around the leaders and trainers.

"The first round. Peter and Maney, inside the ring now." He yells.

My face instantly drops and I knew what he was doing. He did this on purpose cause of last night. He knows I can't beat Peter, and I'm about to make a fool of myself.

Vengeance will come for him.

I walk into the ring the same time as Peter, he gives me a glance and smirks.

You can do this, you can do this. It's what you've trained for. I think to myself, trying to get my confidence up. I look over to Eric and he is still just smiling.

"Lets go initiates," he he says as he crossed hide arms and stare at the two of us.

Immediately Peter lunges forward and swings with his right arm. I duck as fast as possible as I feel the breeze of his fist right over top of my head.

As he regains himself from his swing, I swiftly swing my left arm into his stomach, sending him backwards. He clutches into his stomach and coughs. I take my chance and lift my foot up to kick him in the chest, he stumbles backward but regains his footing quickly.

His eyes are now black and cold. Before I could think he was running at me. Boom, I feel my head head get hit, his fist collides with my head back and forth. I raise my arms trying to block but it doesn't help.

I then desperately try to punch his jaw, but it doesn't do much as he pushes me down on the mat. I lay there as he kicks my stomach, and I instantly feel like throwing up.

He walks over top of me and stares down at my face, I could see the blood dripping down his nose, it looked bad. But I probably looked worse to be honest.

He smiled at me, and then all I see is him raising his fist. And then,

Darkness.

Darkness.

Darkness.

I wake up in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room. I open my eyes slowly, I can feel the major headache forming.

Looks like I blacked out hmm.

As I open my eyes I stare at the ceiling, it's all black everything, not surprising since this is dauntless.

I then feel something move over me, I turn my head to the right. Eric is cuddling me, his arm is around my waist and his head is nuzzled into my neck, I'm not gonna lie, it feels kind of nice. When my brain finally realises who this is I start to panic.

Eric, Eric, Eric. I'm in freakin Eric's room, and he's freakin cuddling me. Holy shoot, what do I do? Oh gosh I'm freakin out.

I then hear a soft mumble. Oh shoot he's waking up, what do I do? What do I do?

"Um Eric?" I awkwardly say.

"Yah? What is it bab-," he starts to say, but stops when he realizes who he's talking to.

He jumps up off of me and looks around the room, then back to me. "I am so so sorry Maney," he apologises as he get out of the bed.

"No it's fine, I'm just curious. First, why were you cuddling me?" He blushes, "And why am I here in the first place?"

"Well you see, after you black out I took you to the doctor here. She said you would be fine after some rest, but I knew you wouldn't get any in the initiates dorm. So I brought you here," he scratches the back of his head awkwardly. "And I wasn't planning on sleeping in the bed, but the couch was just to uncomfortable and my bed is huge so I thou-, oh god I'm sorry I really am sorry,"

I cute him off, "Eric it's fine I really don't mind. But I think I should go now," I say as I pull the covers off of me.

He nods.

I pull my legs off the side of the bed and try to stand up, they feel tired, and I have a major headache now, but I think I can make it.

"Are you sure you're ok Maney? You don't look too good," he asks as he walks closer to me.

"Yah I'll be fine, I just need to get back to my-" before I can finish my brain felt dead, and I fell, I'm so thirsty and hungry.

As I'm falling I feel Eric grab me, he bends down trying to get me before I fall, sadly it's to late and he ends up falling as well.

We land on the ground, Eric breaking my fall thankfully. I hear him groan a little.

"I'm sorry. I guess my head isn't back to full health from yesterday."

"That's fine, I kind of like this position anyway." He answers, and I immediately blush. I'm on top of him and our faces are inches apart. We stare for a while.

And then I remember how I got into this mess in the first place.

"Hey wait a minute, no of this would've happened if-" I'm cut off by a pair of lips on mine.

I'm mad at first, he didn't want me to get mad and yell at him, but then I realize that Eric is actually kissing me. I kiss back, my one hand holding his cheek while the other is running through his hair.

He hands move to the small of my back as we continue kissing. We both finally pull away as we need oxygen to survive. My lips are red and swollen, as are his.

"What was that for?" I ask.

"I like you Maney," he states plainly, "And I didn't want you to get mad at me for putting you in the ring with Peter." He finishes.

I smile and blush, as I give him a small peck on the lips. "I like you Eric." He smiles, "But out of everything, you decided to put me in the ring with Peter, you couldn't have chosen something less painful?" I laugh and question.

I start to see a little guilt in his eyes.

"Yah sorry, I was really mad at the time. But as soon as I saw you in there I immediately regretted it, I couldn't stand to see you get hurt."

"Forgiven," I smile and lean in to kiss him.
