- - - - - - - - - - -

Erik and his roommate/bestfriend has a nothing but a simple platonic relationship. Thank you @sourbabynaee for the Idea!

Warning: Just Fluff, and a curse word here and there. Short but cute.

(Y/N) was hosting a small little movie night for her and Erik’s friends. Every few weeks, a friend out of the group hosts something at their house on a Friday night. Either it’s just a small dinner, a movie night or a game night. It was her and Erik’s turn, well more of (Y/N)’s turn while he just sits back and watch her do everything.

“Can you stop eating the candy?” she said smacking his hand from the table. He looked at her offended as he rubbed his hand.

“You really ain’t have to hit me like that.” he mumbled as she rolled her eyes smiling.

“I’m sorry, want me to kiss it better?’ she pouted at him as he nodded. “Nigga I’m not kissing your hand for real.” she said pushing him away as he smacked his teeth.

“You are rude, you know that?” he said sitting on the counter as she fake smiled at him. She stood next to him, finishing setting up another bowl of candy.

“Instead of looking at me, you could help finish setting everything up. They finna be here in a few.” she told him as he smiled at her.

“Nah, you seem like you got everything in control.” he said patting her shoulder.

“You get on my nerves, you know that?”

“Yeah well you rather me get on your nerves...” She went silent as he chuckled.

She was lucky to have a roommate like Erik for many reasons. She was suspicious on roommates because for one she didn’t want just anyone coming in and out of her home. Having to respect your roommate friends and all that. With her and Erik, they have the same group of friends.

Also she want to worry about her roommate stealing or using her stuff. The only thing that Erik steals from her is probably just her leftovers and use her homemade exfoliator because he claims it makes him smell sweet... whatever that means.

Other then that, Erik is such a sweetheart. He’s understanding, funny, and a little bit over protective. Honestly, she felt very comfortable with him, even felt safe.

Their friends started to arrive. “So what movie are we watching?” Their friend Aliyah said sitting next to her fiancé AJ.

“It’s called the The Last Days of American Crime. I saw a preview of it, and it looked really good?” she said.

“Oh yeah, I heard about it.” James said sitting down on the sofa next to his girlfriend, Canisha.

As the movie played, (Y/N) found herself laying on the couch with her legs across his leg. He placed his hand on top of her leg, slightly rubbing it. Aliyah looked at the small interaction before looking at Canisha. Canisha looked at the two of them smirking before turning her attention back to the movie.

After the movie, they found themselves just talking about random things. “Hold up, I’m going to use the bathroom.” (Y/N) said standing up. Erik watched her as she went to the bathroom in the hall as Canisha looked at him.

“So Erik... you expect us to believe that you and (Y/N) don’t have nothing going on...” Canisha smirked. Erik rolled his eyes. Not this shit again.

“There is absolutely nothing going on between us.”

“Bull shit. The way you guys act around us makes it a bit hard to believe. Nevermind what y’all do when y’all are alone.” AJ said as James butted in.

“Yeah man. If it’s not real now, then it’s going to become something eventually.” James said eating some of the popcorn.

“Y’all are so worried about what we going on, y’all ain’t got nothing else better to do?” Erik asked. Aliyah was about to intervene but (Y/N) came out of the bathroom.

“What are you guys talking about?” (Y/N) sat down next to him cuddling into his arms considering she was cold, he gladly

“Nothing-”

“How you and Erik are lowkey in love..” AJ trailed off as she rolled her eyes laughing.

“You guys are funny.”

“We’re serious. Like why don’t you guys just get together already. You guys act like you’re in love, live with each other, neither of you are interested in any other relationship, why not?” Canisha said shrugging her shoulders.

“Erik and I have other things to focus on other than being in a relationship.” She said as Erik agreed with her.

“Thank you, right now we are comfortable with what we got goin on, why can’t you?” Erik asked them as Aliyah threw her hands up in surrender.

“Alright, whatever you say.”

As the two couples were going out to their car for the end of the night, they continued to talk about it. “I’ll give them two months, tops. Their gonna eventually get together.” AJ laughed as Canisha nodded.

“Honestly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve ever done anything.” Canisha responded.

Back in the house, Erik was finally helping (Y/N) clean up the house. Both of Erik and her were in the their own little world about the little conversation. They both knew that neither of them wanted to be in a relationship, and there was no way that they would get rid of each other to make a potential partner comfortable.

“Aye.” Erik took her out of her trance as she looked up at him.

“Wassup?”

“Do you ever plan on getting in a relationship with someone?” She thought about it. There were many times where men would offer to take her out on a date or hang out but she was never interested. Maybe it had something to do with Erik or just her but it was never in her interest to look to be with someone.

“Not anytime soon. Are you?” she asked him as he shook his head.

“Nah, don’t plan on it.” he said honestly as she nodded turning around. She knew that girls found him attractive. Some even ask her to hook them up with him after finding out the two were just friends. She did and every single time it ended up with him saying,

“(Y/N), please don’t come in here with that shit.”

It was quiet for a few seconds before she spoke up. “Let’s say you decide to be in a relationship, right? And she doesn’t like how close we are? What would you do?”

“It ain’t even gonna get that far. She don’t like you she gotta go.” he said. “Plain and simple.” she smiled at him. “How about you?”

“Well, let’s be real. No one in their right mind who’s in a relationship with one of us is going to accept our relationship.” she said as he nodded. “I mean that is true.” he said as she nodded.

The two of them looked at each other before he said, “I got the rest. I know you’re tired.” she smiled at him before taking him up on his offer.

It was about 2 o’clock in the morning and she was awake. Even though she was tired, she couldn’t get to bed. She grabbed her phone texting him.

(Y/N): U Up? I can’t sleep :(

E: Come here

She grabbed her little throw blanket that was on her bed, wrapping it around her body. She went to the other side of the apartment before knocking on his door. She heard him say come here so she opened the door. She saw him laying on his back watching something on his T.V that hang on the wall.

“I can’t sleep.”

“I know, I told you not to eat all that damn candy. I’m surprised you ain’t sick.” he said.

“Shut up.”

“Come here.” She got into his bed as he allowed her to cuddle into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her.

“You’re so warm...”

“Really? I’m cold as hell.”

They sat in silence until he noticed the light snores coming from her. He turned off the T.V before adjusting the both of them where he was more comfortable with his arms wrapped around her.

To him, this just felt right..
