Nora: No more waiting around!
Nora: If you're not his priority, he shouldn't be yours.
Nora: "Danny had his chance."
Eric: "Thanks for inviting me over. It's good to see you."
Nora: "You too! Come inside. I've got a movie picked out for us."
Eric: "I had a great time."
Nora: "Me too, but I'm an hour late for work..."
Eric: "Can I walk you to the bus stop?"

Pod Meets World: They always have Eric flirting with girls or saying he's going on dates, making us assume he's this big know-it-all or successful when it comes to dating women, but in the seven years of the show, we never see him once actually have a relationship with a girl that lasts more than two episodes or is serious. Why is that?
Me, barging through the door of my Jeric enclosure: wHY IS THAT???

"are you still mad at me?"
you look up from your phone, coming face-to-face with your boyfriend who's taken a seat in front of you. he has a pout on his stupid, beautiful face that constantly reminds you of a cute puppy dog, but you remind yourself to reel your emotions in and not succumb to his adorable expressions.
"yes."
"does this mean i have to sleep on the couch tonight?"
you nod, afraid that you'll give in if you open your mouth once more.
"okay. goodnight then," he whispers, sounding so dejected that you want to pull him close and hug him tight.
"goodnight."
as he shuts the door behind him, you sigh, pulling the bedsheets over your face. technically, you don't need to be so harsh with him for going live when you're in class, but it's been happening too often and you need to put him in his place. even if his place is on the couch.
you don't tell him that his lives are some of the only ways you can connect with him during his busy schedule. just seeing him talk in real-time, even if it's through a screen filtered to millions of fans, is enough for you. however, it's been increasingly hard to do so when he goes live when you're busy, despite him already knowing your schedule, and you miss seeing his pretty face every day.
not that you'd ever tell him that, of course. he doesn't need any more of a reason to tease you.
you shift around in bed for a while, trying to fall asleep. you never realized how cold your shared room is, or how empty the bed seems without him there. even when he comes home late at night from work, you fidget in restless sleep until he wraps an arm around you and brings you in close.
it's only been five minutes and you're already regretting your choice. however, you're a little too petty to retract your decision, so you mentally prepare yourself for the long night ahead.
well, at least until the door opens.
"baby? are you asleep?"
you sit up straight, the bedsheets ruffling around you as you spot eric standing at the door. the yellow light peeks through the gap, shining softly on his face, and you suddenly feel as if you're falling in love with him all over again with his mussed-up hair and comfortable hoodie.
"i'm not. what's wrong?" you whisper, your voice thick from (trying to) sleep.
he shuffles slightly, playing with the ends of his sleeves as you note the discomfort on his face.
"the couch is really uncomfortable."
you sigh, annoyed, although some part of you is jumping for joy at the implications of his words.
"eric—"
"i promise i won't roll over to your side. i won't even touch you, i swear! we can put pillows between us and i won't even talk to you."
already, you're shifting to the side and patting the bed. you hope he doesn't notice how your face lights up in the darkness of the room, but you have a slight inkling that he knows anyway.
he grins, muttering words of gratitude as he jumps into the space beside you. he puts a pillow in between when he sees you rolling your eyes, but he lies down hugging it as if it's a teddy bear.
as you both settle down to sleep, the drowsiness automatically comes to you as if it were there all along. you know this is eric's effect on you, one of many that he's brought into your life, and although it's slightly annoying at times, you wouldn't have it any other way.
"i'm sorry again," eric blurts, watching as you turn over so you can face him, "i didn't know you kept up with my lives like that. i'll make sure i plan them with your schedule in mind."
"of course i watch your lives, eric, i'm literally dating you. i guess you're forgiven though, but we still have to keep the pillow."
he laughs, and you find yourself grinning, burrowing your face into the sheets.
"question, though. was the sofa actually that uncomfortable? if it was, we might need to buy a new one."
"no, it wasn't. i just wanted to sleep next to you."
"i'm five seconds away from kicking you out, eric."
"no! don't!" he pleads, reaching over to press kisses into your face, "we are soulmates, after all. we need each other, even if it's just to sleep."
