"Isn't it a bit early for this?" you asked, carrying a hefty bag of decorations while Eric managed two mini Christmas trees.
"Nothing's too early to get into the Christmas spirit!" Eric insisted cheerfully. He placed the two miniature trees on the floor, motioning for you to set the bag next to him. Retrieving his phone from his pocket, he began to play his Christmas playlist. "And besides, is it really too early to start decorating?"
"I suppose not," you replied, settling down beside him on the floor, sitting the bag of ornaments between you. As you began unpacking the decorations, it was evident that Eric had once again gone overboard with the purchases. You gave him a teasing look, prompting a chuckle from him. "Enough for next year!" he quipped.
"We've got plenty to work with," you remarked, extracting the last package. "So, what's the plan after we finish decorating these?"
"Hmm... how about we each decorate one for the other? You can take mine home," suggested Eric.
"That's a good idea," you replied, grabbing a silver ornament and smirking at Eric. "Mine will definitely outshine yours."
"Really? We will see about that," Eric chuckled. With a mischievous glint in his eye, Eric reached for a vibrant red ribbon and playfully waved it in the air. "Let's see who can make the most eye-catching tree."
You both instantly were focused on trying to make the best trees, playfully bickering when the other would take an ornament the other person wanted. As the trees began to take shape, you stole a glance at Eric's tree and couldn't help but stifle a silent chuckle.
âWhat are you laughing about?â he asked, raising his eyebrow slightly.
âWhy does your tree look like a broccoli?â you teased.
"A broccoli?!" Eric exclaimed in sheer disbelief, his reaction making you double over in laughter as you clutched your stomach. You nodded in affirmation, causing Eric to vehemently disagree with your observation. "It doesn'tâwait, now that you say that..."
"See!" you interjected, a playful grin on your face.
"Listen, it's not done yet! Just trust the process!" Eric defended his tree with a laugh, determined to transform the broccoli-like appearance into a splendidly decorated miniature Christmas tree.
Amid the banter and laughter, you both finally completed your miniature Christmas trees. However, as you admired your finished creations, Eric's eyes widened in realization.
You turned abruptly to face him as the sound of rustling decorations caught your attention. Eric frantically rummaged through the piles, only to pause, meeting your gaze with a nervous expression. "I think I forgot the stars."
"No way," you responded in disbelief.
"Yes way," Eric confirmed, a blend of disappointment and amusement coloring his face.
"How could you forget the most important one? See, buying all of this without going through them wasn't a good idea," you chided, scouring through the piles once more, hoping that he was just joking.
Confirming that there were no stars, you stopped and looked at him again. âLooks like we wonât have trees with stars on them.â
âItâs fineâyouâre my star anyways,â Eric casually said, the words slipping out without much thought. A brief pause ensued; he stared at you with slightly widened eyes, then slowly covered his mouth in mild surprise.
"Huh?" you questioned, curious about his sudden reaction.
"Nothing," Eric attempted to dismiss it.
"Noâcontinue," you pressed.
"You're my starâŚ" he repeated, his words trailing off, a tinge of warmth in his voice.
"The reason?"
Eric sighed inwardly, hating how you could make him so nervous within a matter of seconds. "You also shine brightly in my lifeâlike a star. And I wish for you every dayâŚ" he trailed off on the last part, mumbling it under his breath, yet you managed to catch it and chuckled.
"Is that a confession?" you teased.
"Maybe," he replied.
"That was so corny," you remarked.
"You're smiling though!" Eric insisted.
"No, I'm not!" you countered, trying to hide your amusement.
After a few more moments of playful banter, the two of you stopped and shared a tender gaze. Before either of you could say anything, you suddenly requested Eric to take some pictures for Instagram. He was a bit confused, hoping you would have given him an answer instead, but he still complied.
Following your instructions, Eric stood behind your tree while you stood behind his, pretending to be stars for each otherâs tree. After taking a few pictures, you quickly uploaded them to instagram, tagging Eric, who saw the notification on his phone.
After liking the post, his eyes shifted to the caption, which read, âYouâre my star too đŠˇâ.
He smiled at the post, adding it onto his storyâwhat an unexpected but charming way to reciprocate a confession.
notes:Â hey everyone :D this is just a small little list of headcanons since all my drafts rn are taking a long time :) sooo here ya go, some sweet (and spicy) boyfriend eric headcanons <3 please keep in mind this is my first time writing headcanons so if theyâre terrible thatâs why lmaooo
. . . DATING ERIC SOHN WOULD INCLUDE . . .Â
- gaming together during your free time. heâd always win and get all cocky about it, but once he sees your pouty face, heâll be sure to let you win the next round.
- cuddles. lots & lots of cuddles. on the couch, on the bed, in public, wherever! eric is a very clingy dude and will never ever want to be away from you.
- as said before, eric is a clingy dude, so of course heâd love randomly coming up to you and hugging you from behind. eric loves back hugs. like, so much.
- movie nights. whether with his members or without, eric loves getting comfy and watching movies with you! if the others are there too, heâll be sure that youâre snuggled into him. heâs possessive like that.
- speaking of eric being possessive, this boy doesnât want no one looking at you. even those he trusts, like his hyungs, will get death stares if theyâre caught looking at you or even talking to you when heâs not around.
- eric gets jealous quite easily. and, his jealousy more often than not leads to jealous sex. as stated before, eric is possessive asf and will not hesitate to remind you of who you belong to.
- overall, eric is just always quite possessive in the bedroom. heâs always telling you things like âyouâre fucking mine, you know that? nobody else can make you feel this good.â
- sex with eric is more often than not rough. he talks a big game and always backs it up.Â
- i mean, letâs be honest here, eric radiates major big dick energy so like, youâre in for a good time with this one.Â
- the last thing eric wants is to disappoint you, and he never does! he just wants to please you, really.Â
- eric is a giver, donât get me wrong, but thereâs one thing he loves more than making you feel good: blowjobs.
- if he had things his way, he would live with your lips wrapped around his cock.
- after sex, eric is cuddly and sweet once again. he loves to spoil you, so he will probably fix up a bath for the two of you (he would do a shower, but he knows to save those for when you want to fuck again because shower sex is one of his faves) and he would take care of you.
- alternatively, though, eric could go for hours. heâs got more stamina than the boyz have great songs. but heâd never push you to go again if youâre tired because like i said before, he just wants to please you.
A/N: I recently learned that Eric had a surname?? Heâs Eric Coulter?? I legit didnât know that and I wrote a whole ass chapter story about him??
[MASTER LIST]
Eric having a crush on you would involve:
Eric doesnât develop crushes easily, but seeing you training, seeing your power and strength does something to him that heâs not use to. He canât help but admire you.
Once the two of you know each other -or are at least aware of each other- he would definitely be the type to tease you.
Nothing really mean but just enough to make you get worked up and threaten him back. And, he just smirks, which makes you want to stab him even more.
(âYouâre so annoying, Eric!â âYouâre cute when youâre angry.â âI... I canât believe you!.. Wait, you think Iâm cute?â âShut up.â)
Sparing with him in training, but him actually being terrified to fight you in front of instructors because although he wants to get into Dauntless, he doesnât want you to fail.
Youâre the first person -probably ever- whose seen him cry. One day, something just gets to him and you comfort him.
Although you never talk about it with him, you know itâs that day that brings the two of you closer together. You can still have fun and tease him but part of you knows thereâs something more to him now.
Celebrating with him when you both get into Dauntless.
Eric would get jealous and protective.
Really easy.
Youâre at a celebration party with the other new members of Dauntless, and another dude flirts with you. You donât whether itâs the atmosphere or the drink, but you flirt back.
And, Eric gets jealous.
He would protect you from any sketchy guys, and although he doesnât say anything, it hurts him that you flirted with someone else besides him.
And, you have to confront him about it.
(âWhatâs going on, Eric? Whyâd you do that?â âHe looked like a douche. I didnât think youâd want him around.â âEric... Oh- were you jealous?â âJealous. No.â)
But, you manage to get him to tell you that he has a crush on you, and the rest is history.
Quick run-down of rankings in the pack for my muses. Under a read-more, because itâs long.
    Alpha- Alasdair is now the alpha of the pack. Strong and extremely well respected after proving himself. He is also the one who gave his beta and his other high ranking wolves a chance at power and authority. They all would protect him with their lives if needed.
    Beta- Finn became the beta when Alasdair took over the position as Alpha. Finn grew up in the pack but because of the acts of his father, he was treated as an outcast along with Trina and Eric. They forged a deep bond because of it. He helps Eric train the pups.
The next four are all high-ranking but without official titles.
   Eric is the second below Finn. Him and his twin sister are both equally matched in rank. Eric is close to Alasdair because of their similar views on things. He trains the pups so they know how to defend themselves in wolf or human form.Â
    Trina is next. Despite what otherâs believe when they look at her Trina is an extremely strong wolf. Itâs obvious why she was a choice for a high ranking position in the pack. As of right now she mainly breaks up fights and oversees official challenges.
     Matt was offered the position of beta but turned it down. He prefers to fly under the radar and not show his strength until needed. He works as a detective normally, but his official pack duties are as a guard to Alasdair if he needs it. Mainly when Alasdair travels to other packs.Â
     Willow works at the same precinct as Matt. She doesnât have any official pack duties but she does report to Alasdair any odd crimes in the area that could be attributed to supernaturals in the area. She also helps plan all pack events. While stronger than most she isnât as strong as the top five. She is very fast because of her small stature.
