Welcome to Gaia! ::

Though Erik did not show much reaction to when Lily spoke of the blonde, his eyes showed that he was bothered by it. When he confirmed that it was his ex girlfriend under his breath she gaze a slight nod. " I guessed right then." She said to herself as she played with the lock of hair Maya had grabbed hold of before but let go of it when Erik cupped the side of her face with his hand. " What is going on exactly?" She did not their story and she did not want to be going into things that she shouldn't be in. Though she knew something more then a jealous girlfriend was going on. Erik was acting to protective over something like this Lily thought.

" You don't have to worry about me Erik." She said, giving him a sleepy smile as feeling his loving warmth made her more sleepy then before. She tilted her head more into Eriks hand more and slightly nuzzled into it. " You worry to much." The light brown haired woman said softly as she felt her body relax a little more, making her want to just fall into his arms and fall asleep in them. She did not know why she had this thought as she never did anything like that before.

She felt Eriks hand slip away from her face and watched it take her books away from her. Looking back up at the tall man he motioned over to a bench and without saying anything she simple nodded and followed him to the bench. As Erik spoke Lilys full attention was on Erik, she knew he had left his family but she didn't know that their was other familys and that was where Maya came from. She noticed Erik placing a hand on his shoulder before he went to grab her hand. He has been running all this time from his family and that woman, all these years he has been in hiding. When Erik said he was no longer going to run because of her and would not unless she came she froze up a little. If he would of not of met her he would of already been on the run but now he was not running unless she came with him.

Slowly getting up, without letting go of Eriks hand she stepped in front of him and kneeled down in front of him. She held his hand a little tighter as she raised his hand close to her face before kissing it softly. " You are not going to lose me... Not unless you want to lose me." She said softly before looking up at him with her big haunting eyes. " If you wanted to run I would go with you if you will have me but I don't want you to run." She said, not taking her eyes off of him. " I don't want you to run anymore. You shouldn't have to run anymore." He had been running all these years and it was not fare to Erik. " If they find you I will be there for you Erik. We can get threw this together."

A light blush bloomed across the young woman's face as Erik called her his amazing Lily. She would of been blushing if he just called her amazing but because he said 'My amazing Lily' it made her heart stop for a moment. She was his amazing Lily, he did not see her as crazy, only amazing and it made Lily feel human. It made her feel like he could actually see her and not just a object filling the space or in the way. As Erik leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead she closed her eyes for a moment, taking in his lips on her skin for a brief moment.

Smiling softly at Erik she nodded her head to reassure him. " I will be by your side every step of the way." She said before he stated he did not deserve her kindness. She looked up him a little surprised before she stood up and leaned in to place her forehead onto his. " Don't say that." She said in a whisper as her grip around his hands tightened a little. " You are the only person who has treated me normal in years. You deserve all my kindness and more." Once she stated that she slowly backed away from him but was still holding his hand as she wanted to help him up from the bench. She noticed the sad look in his eyes and she couldn't help but feel sad as well as she looked at him. She gave him a weak smile and started to lead him the way back to her apartment.

Lily lead the way to her apartment, a couple of steps ahead of Erik before she felt his arm wrap around her shoulders. She still had to get use to the feeling but she liked the feeling. She still held onto his hand that has now hanging off her shoulder as they walked down the street. When Erik brought up not knowing what her apartment looked like and how many stuffed animals she had she looked at him first a little confused but was soon blushing as she saw his trademark smirk. " W-What makes you think I have stuffed animals?" She asked, not denying the fact she did have some. In truth she had many stuffed animals as a child until she was put in the foster system, so in the end she only had one stuffed animal from her childhood. It was a stuffed horse she had since she was a baby.

It did not take them long for them to arrive at the apartment. Once they reached the door, Lily pulled out her keys and looked up at Erik. " Did you... Want to come up for a cup of tea as well before going to work?" She asked a bit quietly before turning her face away a little. " There is not much to look at my apartment but there is tea. If you don't want to its fine, don't worry about it." She didn't want him to come in if he did not want to but he seemed like he wanted to see what it looked like inside before so she gave him the offer.


(occ: Erik is sooooooo cute! >w< I love him TwT)

" Thank you but you don't have to do that really." She said with a smile, looking up at Erik. She didn't know why he wanted her to have a bunch of stuffed animals but she decided to let it be. Once he confirmed that he wanted to come up to her apartment she nodded a little and started to unlock the door. " Oh I live on the fourth floor, along the side." The smaller female said as she pointed up and to the side of the apartment. Her window in her living room and bed room faced the alley way were she saw the wolf. Stepping into the apartment, Lily lead the way up the old staircase to the fourth floor. The building was old and falling apart which you could clearly hear as you walked up the old stair case.

When they were up on the fourth floor Lily went to her apartment and unlocked the door before stepping in. " Come on in, make yourself at home."The apartment was very small with a little kitchen, living room, one small bedroom and small bathroom. Though do to the fact she did not have much in the apartment it looked bigger then it really was. She had a small couch next to the window that could fit two people and a small coffee table. That was it, nothing other then the couch and the small coffee table because to Lily that was all she needed and could afford. Just like the rest of the building this apartment was old and slowly falling apart. The sound of the floor creaking at every step you took, the stain in the walls that could never be washed out, the old plumbing system that some days worked. Lily made her way to the old kitchen and started to boil some water. " Sorry there is only the couch to sit on... I hope that is alright." She said as she put the kettle on the stove before glancing to her room, making sure the door was closed.

Lily watched as Erik stepped into the apartment for a moment before she turned back to the kitchen counter and pulled out two tea cups. As she pulled out her different types of tea she realized that this was the first time she had ever had a boy over at her place. She remember the first year of high school girls made a big deal about having their first boy over at their place and into their room. Glancing back at the male at her apartment she quickly turned back to the counter with a slight blush as she felt like a stupid little high schooler.

The kettle started to boil and she turned off the stove just before Erik came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She was a little surprised at first as she did not hear him coming which was a surprise do to these old creaking floors but she was glad he was close to her again. " I have few different kinds that you can pick from. I have earl grey, rose, green and black berry tea." She said as she opened up her little tea box that had the different kinds of tea to pick from.

Lily was getting use to the feeling of Erik being so close to her thanks to him always draping a arm around her. Sure she was a little tense but she was not jumping away like she would of before or if anyone other then him tried this. She felt the young man nuzzle her neck which was a new feeling that made her body shiver and tense up a little more along with a small gasp. If that was not enough he spoke right next to her ear, feeling his warmth right along her neck making her face go bright red. " O-Okay..." She said quietly as her voice cracked.

She pulled out the earl grey and put it in his cup before pouring in the wat water in his cup. She then went to grab the tea she wanted when Erik asked what was her favourite tea. " Black berry." She said, slightly smiling to herself before making herself her tea. " All done. Did you want anything else in your tea?" Lily asked as she looked down at the two cups of tea that she had made. Her heart was racing a little a little more and her face was still red, making her still feel like a stupid high school girl.
