Wise men Say
Only fools Rush in
But I cant help
Falling in love with you...

"Erik come on! Everyone's waiting!"

"Huh? Well,Okay will you slow down-!!"

Time stops in it's tracks as soon as he laid her eyes on her. In the midst of all the people,it seemed to him that she struck out the most.

Soft,Smooth Black Hair,Twinkling Eyes just like two precious gems or maybe even stars. He feels the blush creeping up to his cheeks in response to his racing heartbeat.

"-rik? ERIK!" Erik's eyes blink as he snaps back to reality,he turns to his friend,smiling nervously,"Sorry Gaia..."

Gaia pouts a little,"What's gotten into you? You just spaced out!" She follows his gaze and spots the girl he was looking at,then Gaia smirks,realizing why he looked so dazed.

"I see..." she hums,smiling,"Well then,why dont you stay here while I go get something?" Without a minute for Erik to answer,Gaia disappears into the crowd. It was only when she came back with the girl,he realized what was her plan.

Shall I pray?
Would it be a sin?
For I cant help
Falling in Love with You...

'Oh my god Gaia why. Im screwed. Im so screwed-'

"Oh? Who is this?" The girl asks,a small smile on her lips,he barely had anytime to fix himself up before introducing himself.

"E-Erik Ward,Ma'am. P-Pleasure to meet you."

"Ward?" The girl blinks,"Ooohh! My mom said that name before."

"Erik here is the Current Master of Poison." Gaia hums,bowing a little herself with a smile,"And I'm Gaia Becker,the Current Master of Nature."

The girl laughs a little and nods,"Well,I'm Crystal Nishigori,nice to meet you both!"

Like a River Flows
Journey to the Sea
Darling so It goes:
"Some things are meant to be..."

Days turn into months as following the ball,Crystal is recruited into the New Avengers,though SHIELD had to sign a waver to at least calm the nerves of her father and older siblings. And things were going smoothly,but that doesnt mean that they do all the time.

"Ow ow!"

"Stay still,will you?"

Crystal pouts,wincing as the cotton ball touch the cut again,she had gotten a pretty big cut on her cheek due to a bullet graze,but otherwise,no Injuries.

Erik sighs,tending to the cut,"You should've been more careful you know,if Grant didnt put that Shield up so quickly..."

"I know i know..." she huffs,"how do you think my family feels about this Avenger thing,i mean,Mom and Haru are more calm about it but Dad,Natsu,Aki and Fuyu would kill everyone and then themselves if I got hurt."

"Haha... I remember-"

"OW!"

"I told you to stay still!"

"Nooo!"

"Crystal..."

"Make me!"

"...Alright then."

"What do you-?!" Her words were cut off by Erik promptly pressing his lips to her cheek in a last-ditch effort to shut her up. And it worked,as she was dazed while he finished up tending to her cut.

"There." He sighs,finishing,"Better."

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I cant help
Falling in love with you

Crystal was dead silent for a solid minute,that Erik was almost sure he broke her,then she remarks,a small sly smile on her face,

"You know,My lips hurt a little too." She smiles,pointing to her lips,"Mind Kissing it to make it better?"

It took a few seconds for Erik to register what she just said,and he responded with an eyeroll and a chuckle.

"We'll see."

"Eeeh?! Erik stop being mean!"

"You love me anyways."

"...Weeeeelll,you arent wrong there..."

Before he could respond,the younger girl grabbed him by the front of his shirt,and pulled him down,their lips meeting in a kiss.

For I cant help... falling in love with you...

'This girl... So spontaneus,and yet youthful...

...

Heh... Maybe that's why I couldnt help but fall in love with her...'
