erk crushing on a taken reader
pairing: erk x gn!reader
tags: arranged marriage (reader NOT with erk), mutual pining, angst due to forbidden love, bodyguard!erk x noble!reader
erk should've known better than to fall for someone he was hired to protect
and he should've known better than to fall for someone who was arranged to marry someone else as well…
he knew from the start that there was a nice noble waiting to be married to you and yet he couldn't stop himself from falling for you
not when you were always being so honest with him, complaining about nobility and how you'd rather date someone you love, instead of dating someone for their status…
he always wondered if you meant him when you said that, if he was that someone you loved that you'd rather be with than with your fiance
but in the end, it didn't matter
you two could never be together, even if you really did love him
you were promised to someone else
someone erk just couldn't compete with…
