Eric

(Gender of your choice)

Just a couple of days ago, your class teacher asked you to "do a good deed" and help Eric with his grades in one subject. According to the teacher, this was the only topic that he did not understand at all. Of course, you agreed despite everything, but... when you approached him in the hallway and told him about it, he was apparently in a bad mood and began to mock you, doing it very loudly and ostentatiously.

"Again. Everything is as usual..." you thought and turned around, silently leaving. You went towards a small warehouse, where there were a lot of books and very little space. You like to spend time like this simply because it is cozy and quiet here. Having closed the door behind you, you sat down at a small table with books and began to nervously sort through them. But you couldn't suppress your emotions... The reason for your tears was far from just the quarrel with Eric. Rather, it was simply the finishing touch. You cried quietly, almost soundlessly, burying your face in the pages of the book and your palms, when suddenly you were interrupted by the heavy sound of footsteps. You sniffled, but the tears did not stop flowing involuntarily.

You didn't even hope, but were practically sure that now this sound would move away, and after a while it would disappear completely, but no. The door slowly opened and you felt someone's presence... But you didn't allow yourself to raise your head.

"Hey," Eric's voice was heard, which instantly sobered you up. He sighed and slowly approached, "Are you seriously crying? Because of me?" You didn't answer. You remained in the same position and silently prayed for the guy to just go away.

Eric didn't say anything else, but his hand came to rest on the back of your head. The touch was surprisingly light and gentle. It felt like Eric was afraid of hurting you... Both mentally and physically. Your breathing quickened, your lips trembled. More tears began to roll down your cheeks. You tried to take a deep breath, but Eric's hand lifted your head, and his lips hastily found yours. His warm hands rested on your cheeks, gently holding you and not allowing you to move away.

Eric is a guy with a difficult character. At first glance, he seems cold, distant and unapproachable. He rarely shows emotions and tries not to let people get close to him, so as not to show his vulnerability. Inside, he is witty, smart and observant. Eric does not like or even rather hates being the center of attention, but his natural charisma and appearance attract a lot of attention. He is often abrupt and sarcastic in communication, so many perceive him as arrogant. However, underneath all this, there is a person suffering from loneliness.

Eric is tall and slim. His hair is a natural light blond, usually tousled but neat. His most expressive feature is his icy brown eyes, cold and piercing. They can either enchant or scare. His skin is fair, his features are clear. Eric smiles very rarely. Most of his classmates can't take their eyes off Eric - his innate attractiveness and confidence make them feel mixed feelings: admiration, envy and a desire to be friends.
