there's a sigh of relief when dante stops and doesn't walk any further away from him. but there is a twinge of ache in his heart when dante pulls his wrist out of his grip though he tries to not make it obvious. "i feel like i have to." his voice is quiet without him really meaning for it to be. the two of them feel like polar opposites at times, this being one of them. but they work, and that's all erik cares about. "i know that. i know better. i didn't mean to, you know that." sometimes erik doesn't think before he speaks, letting his emotions get the best of him. eyebrows raise at the last thing dante says. "you didn't? really?"

he's not used to people asking him to stay. it makes him stop dead in his tracks, better than the grip around his wrist does, "please - just, don't apologize." his eyes close and he gently removes his wrist from erik's grip, but he doesn't move to walk away either, "you're not the only one who was an ass," his mouth is in a sad smile, "i know i'm not the easiest to deal with. i just," he shakes his head, "i can't handle being spoken to like that, okay?" his voice catches in his throat, "i didn't want to go."

"look," erik exhales as they stand outside of his parents' home in sweden. "we met at one of my games, started seeing each other and fell head over heels and now we're here." he's nervous about how all this is going to go over, but he's too far in it to back out now that his family paid for them both to fly out to meet them all. "this doesn't have to last long. give it a month or two and i'll call them heartbroken and we'll go back to being friends after the dust settles in a few weeks."

erik didn't know why he was here. they haven't spoken in years and he didn't know if they even wanted to see him, but his feet carried him anyways. "i get it, if you don't want to talk to me." he speaks as knuckles rasp against the door once more. "but i just..i didn't know where else to go." more like you're the only person i wanted and needed to see -- he thought to himself. this might be the best or worst idea he's ever had, but he'd find that out when they opened the door.

"you should definitely know by now that it's not just because of that," erik's made it clear over the last few months but he knows madison's just playing around. their relationship had this playful nature that he enjoyed -- it was something he'd never gotten to experience before. "they were tired from running around with me all day." another kiss is pressed to hers. he'd never grow tired of kissing the woman. "i plan to do many, many things to you," erik's walking them back towards their shared bedroom, making sure not to knock into anything as he does. "most importantly though, i intend on making sure the only thing you're able to say is my name for the foreseeable future."

⸻ "oh is not just because i'm a pretty face?" the witch bemused to him, arms immediately wrapping around his neck as he pulled her closer. it was like a reflex reaction at this point for her. feeling so safe and content anytime the hockey player's arms were secured around her. a content giggle escaped her lips as erik's lips pressed against her own. "mmm, a bit early, too? did someone do this on purpose so we could have this whole side of the house to ourselves? what do you plan to do to me?"

[tcmbcy]

"see, this is why i keep you around, clearly." there's a soft chuckle that falls from erik's lips as he pulls madison closer to him, keeping his arms around her waist. "speaking of calling me daddy in bed, both of the kids are asleep.." his voice trails off with his lips coming to place kisses against her own. they hadn't had a night like this in too long, but erik's determined to change that.

⸻ "in my eyes you are a total dilf and that person is clearly just blind, baby. why else would i call you daddy in bed?"

[tcmbcy]

"dante, i'm sorry." erik exhales as he reaches to hold onto his wrist, not wanting him to leave. things were..messed up and he knew that, but the last thing that he ever wanted was for the other to leave. he couldn't handle it, watching him walk out the front door and out of erik's life. "i don't want you to go. i know i was an ass and that i fucked up, but i didn't mean to make you feel like i lectured you." erik's thumb caressed dante's wrist, not wanting to let him go just yet. "please. don't leave."

"i didn't come for a lecture," he shoves past them with his shoulder, gaze averted to the ground, "no worries - i'll leave."

"alright -- i fell first, i can work with that." erik nodded. he was just lucky that belinda was playing along because he had no idea who else he could ask to do something like this for him. all this is for, is so that his family'll get off his back about settling down because with moving to a new team and trying to get all those affairs in order, it's the last thing he needs to worry about. "never though my first acting job would be to play fiance with a friend." he rubs at the back of his head nervously before he notices her hand extended out to him, which he takes easily and laces their fingers together. before erik can even ring the doorbell, his mother opens the door excitedly pulling the both of them in. "she's a hugger, so be warned."

She nods her head along with his words, though she truly is wondering if they can pull this off at least. Her heart rate has been all over the place, running wide open here and there since this entire thing was brought up to her and even up to this point. ❝ As long as we can say you fell first. Everyone loves it when it's the guy that falls first. ❞ She smiles playfully, trying to at least keep things light and positive in case he has some sort of nerves about this ( like she kind of has personally but wont actually voice ). Then she reaches up and tucks piece of her hair behind her ear, taking in a breath and then looking back up at him. ❝ Alright, a month or two. Sounds easy enough. ❞ Easy, sure. She holds up her hand enough to get his attention and wiggles fingers. They should hold hands right ?
