Dating Erica Reyes Hc's:

° You were never deterred by pre-bite Erica, often finding yourself admiring her from a distance or even being one of the few people who showed kindness to her. However, neither of you really had the courage to ask the other out. You didn't register that you liked one another.

° You were always so mindful of her seizures, never poking fun at her for the things she could not help or blatantly bullying her. Your kindness was like a beacon of warm light amongst the callous hatred cast upon her from others because she was different. This caused her heart to flutter whenever you'd go out of your way to say, "hello" or when you'd be paired together for a class project.

° However, Erica was always frightened that your kindness was just garnering upon sympathy for her. It left her confused since she never had the confidence to ask you about your intentions.

° The bite gave Erica the courage to ask you out, which you pleasantly agreed to. You couldn't get over how much she was beaming, finding it to be the sweetest thing you'd ever seen. It was like you'd seen the sun cast upon a gorgeous beach for the first time.

° She rode that high train of joy for quite some time, despite Derek Hale attempting to squash it, because he was certain he had someone "better" suited for her. He almost convinced her, but didn't quite succeed in splitting you both apart.

° Erica's sudden makeover and confidence boost was somewhat startling. You weren't a stranger to her frequent mood shifts, especially when they were directed towards Scott and Co. You had enough courage to point it out, sometimes receiving a brief quip back of, "You don't understand what you're talking about so just stay out of it!" 

° She meant well as she just wanted to protect you from her other life. Erica was also consumed with a humongous fear of you rejecting her once you discovered her werewolf secret. She was a monster, golden glowing eyes and claws to match. Anyone with a right mind would go sprinting in the opposite direction for dear life.

° Yet you were sweet and patient with her, fretting about her landing herself in the ER once again like the previous gym class where Scott saved her. Sure it irritated her at first, but she gathered your face in her hands and planted a sweet kiss on your lips.

° "You don't have to worry about that anymore, y/n. You trust me right?" She'd asked in that honey sweet tone, a tilt to her pretty head.

° It wasn't long until you discovered her werewolf secret, much to Derek Hale's dismay. However, no matter how valiantly and pettily he'd try to pull you both apart, he couldn't thwart this genuine connection.

° Everything came to a head-to-head when you'd attended detention in the library with Erica, Scott and everyone else. When the Kanima appeared, Erica didn't think twice about protecting you. She was new to this all, afraid herself as she held onto your hand kurtly. She was skittish, shielding you with her body just in time as Jackson came and pricked her with his claws.

° You came crashing down with her, her body lying on top of your back, pressing you into the gritty carpeted floors. The pressure was enough to make it hard to breathe and as she gasped over top of you she whispered in your ear, "Don't move. You'll draw too much attention and get hurt. You're gonna be okay."

° Her selfless nature came out and you were one of the few to really witness it firsthand. It often boggled people who just assumed she was some callous bitch. Erica was more than that, and you were happy to be one of the people to prove that silly notion wrong.

° Afterwards it did take some time getting used to, but you never considered her to be a monster. In fact, you embraced her lycan-self and supported this new side to her as it meant she was relieved of pain, discomfort and gave her a newfound confidence she needed. This not only astonished her, but also Derek, who garnered some respect towards you when you weren't as squirmish as he originally thought you would be.

° "I can protect you." Is something she'd be guilty of saying, despite how cliche it was. Erica also knew that you'd protect her just as much, despite finding it slightly silly.

° But you were needed, especially when things got out of hand with the Argents. Nerves would be struck and you kept Erica sane, almost like you were her anchor.

° "Home is where the heart is right?" 

° "Babe, that's really cheesy."

° Honestly, you guys go on very fun dates. Erica has the versatility of being both introverted and extroverted: She's game for quieter and more intimate endeavours, as well as spontaneous and adventurous ones!

° PDA galore! Erica has the tendency to become possessive and jealous easily, but she can be coy with it. Competition is like mice to her. She's the cat and as she puts it, "I don't mind playing with my food". Public displays of affection help put across to others that you're both taken. She just likes to show off a little, but is respectful enough, backing off if you're uncomfortable. Honestly, she just likes physical touch as it's one of her love languages with you.

° You've got to put up with a lot of mischief and playfulness. Erica enjoys pulling pranks and will rope you in on the ones directed at her packmates. She's always got this puppy dog look when she gets caught in the act, especially by you.

° "Don't give me that look, E!" 

° "What look?" 

° "You know what look I'm talking about. Stop it!"

° "I dunno… Maybe you should have a peek to see if it's the same look."

° She sneaks through your bedroom window regardless of what gender you are. Rebellion is her middle name and it's sweet because it's usually because she wants to cuddle.

° "You've got your own bed, babe." You reminded her.

° "Yeah, but it didn't have you in it." She pouted pettily.

° She tends to also bring snacks and falls asleep first, curled into your embrace. She's a sucker for back strokes and her unruly blond mane being played with, which you love catering to until your arms go dead.

° "My arms dead, babe-" 

° "That's just an excuse! Just give it a minute and you can keep going."

° She does return the favour though!

° You're a very patient, kind person that soothes Erica's bursts of anger and impatience. You remind her that controlling things isn't everything, helping her to work through difficult emotions that she struggles to cope with. This stems from anger towards bullies, past mistreatment, etc. You're not a therapist, but your ability to see beyond yourself rubs off on her.

° Derek even becomes mesmerised over time when he sees Erica respond in a less bitchy way to people. Even Stiles makes many comments on it.

° "Okay, can everyone agree that y/n is a miracle sent to earth? I think this is a confirmation that God might actually exist." Stiles was practically gawking, freaking out actually.

° "Well, since you're having your religious awakening, are you wetting the bed yet? We've literally got the Argents on our asses." Derek snarled.

° "Honestly, I don't think I was that bad-" Erica murmured innocently.

° "That bad…" Alison snorted.

° "What was that Snow White and the Seventh of a Brain cell?"

° Let's not forget how supportive Erica is of you, especially if you've got a hobby or play any sports. She really goes all out in supporting you, whether it's cheering you on with her packmates or helping you study for a big test coming up.

° You get on very well with Boyd and Isaac. The pair see you as a sibling, which makes things easier. Isaac tended to be more distrusting of you at the beginning, but now he's awkwardly annoying with his strange banter that you surprisingly enjoy. He likes to annoy Erica and make a show out of her slight embarrassment until she's got him in an ironclad headlock.

° "Can't breathe-" Isaac wheezed

° "That wasn't an apology I heard there-" Erica grunted, tightening her headlock.

° Derek walked through with a black coffee, half smiling like "You shouldn't have said she smells people’s shoes like a dog." He stated, bemused.

° They're just siblings!

° Boyd's her best friend, so the importance of you guys getting along is key. Although he may look intimidating and ooze a certain temper at times, Boyd is quiet, calm and observant. He's figuring you out before you can figure him out. He's also very protective of Erica. Boyd truly likes you and you both get on very well, and it's nice to have someone around that doesn't announce he has explosive diarrhoea to the school nurse when he's helping save his friends.

° It's always a lovely time when Boyd can find a way to tease Isaac back for said embarrassing banter.

° For a human, Derek grows fonder of you the more time you spend around him. It particularly helps when he is no longer the alpha: His authenticity shines and he really enjoys your presence in the pack. Everyone else also likes you too since you even Erica out and bring her best qualities to the surface. 

° Your feelings came out for her much firmer for her when she was taken by the Alpha Pack. Tensions between you and Derek were at an all high when he refused to let you help him. Your begging to be turned into a werewolf fell on deaf ears until he finally aired out the truth: That turning you would be an endangerment to not only yourself but everyone else, especially Erica. He took responsibility for two of his betas being taken, but wouldn't take responsibility for you getting hurt. Guilt tripping you into staying on the sidelines.

° You went an uncanny route to save Erica by pairing yourself up with Alison once she became less rouge. Trusting not to believe the fact that Isaac had seen her dead body, you went with Alison, stuck in the closet only to find another dead body belonging to another unsuspecting victim.

° Erica was alive, but not well as she fled the vault with Cora and Boyd into the night with a full moon. But like the other’s, she survived and made a speedy, full recovery. But no one was out of hot water, as taking down the Alpha Pack and fighting the Darach was notoriously difficult; and at one point each member of both packs almost met their demise.

° However, eventually everyone made it out alive. The Alpha’s were put to rest: Well, not so figuratively when it came to Deucalion and the twins. But things began to settle down until a new threat arrived in Beacon Hills, however that didn’t arrive for quite some time.

° Dating Erica had proven to be a tough spell, and certainly not the fairytale ending you both had imagined. Although there were certainly tests and trivials, your young love blossomed and thrived - even when it was tested by the gruesome violence that ran prosperously in Beacon Hills.

° Each twist and turn lead down a different path: Explosive fights thwarted by gentle embraces and sweet nothings uttered. Erica found her home within you: A stark reality consuming her after she’d been kidnapped. Beacon Hills wasn’t the safe place to be for herself, you or her growing pack. She altered with the shifts, really growing into her own person that the other’s grew fond of, because they could see her candid qualities.

° Hell, when Allison died, Erica was deeply moved by this. The pair had grown fond of each other as they quarrelled in the past. Instead of wallowing in her own self-pity, she turned to everyone in the pack to check if they were okay: It stunned many members, but they came to realise that Erica just didn’t know how else to show that she cared. The ones of utmost importance to her though were Scott, Chris and Isaac.

° Dating Erica is a whirlwind at times as she fights for control, yet to gain distance. She needs someone patient, understanding and as bright as she does. A grounding stone for when she struggles with shifting and whatnot. Someone that can keep up with her spontaneity and grow alongside her. Erica becomes someone much different from the shy teenage girl with the seizures, but comes out into her own! She’s akin to a startlingly beautiful butterfly - constantly in metamorphosis as she shifts and changes through the many things that occur to her in Beacon Hills.

° She’s also noted for being like a feline, slinking across the terrain for her next prey. She is independent, mischievous, yet an affectionate partner. You would often find her lounging with her head in your lap, demanding you pamper her with your affections. Erica is loyal and deserves that loyalty back after everything she has been through. You fit together like two peas in a pod, an air of easy banter and deep fondness perpetuating from you both to the point others either grow sickly of it or they can’t help themselves from murmuring a soft, “awe!” in response.

Cuddling with Erica Reyes Headcanons:

° neither one of you have ever claimed being the ‘big’ or ‘little’ spoon. you both tend to switch depending on the mood, occasion and so on.

° like for instance, if either one of you had a rough day, the other would just know instinctively and become the big spoon, holding the other tightly to their bodies, swallowing all insecurities, fears, doubts, etc. that the other one had.

° this doesn’t change even after erica receives the bite from derek hale. although she’s a werewolf and far more confident in and loving of herself, she still has days where she just wants to be held by you.

° erica enjoys having her head laid on your chest, listening to the soothing thrum of your heartbeat, tracing odd invisible patterns on your arms that are wrapped around her. this is her safe place, where nothing can harm her or you.

° she’d die if you started playing with her hair also. she’s a total sucker for it.

° erica also isn’t a stranger to playing with your hair either, in fact, it’s one of her most favorite things to do. she loves the fact that within five minutes you’re drifting off into dreamland.

° loads of forehead and nose kisses ensue during cuddle sessions, along with breathy sweet nothings and tender declarations of love.

° your legs are always entangled as you cuddle, and the pair of you tend to face one another so you can chat about silly things, how your day went, deep talks and so much more.

° the pair of you 99.9% of the time fall asleep at exactly the same time, only to wake up an hour or two later with dopey sleepy grins plastered on your faces.

° sometimes cuddle sessions lead to wandering hands, lips brushing against bare skin... the mood just shifts into something different and the next thing you know, you’re both unable to stop going at each other.

° at derek’s loft, the pair of you are always snuggled up together on his couch. your head resting on her chest as you both watch her packmates train with derek.

° it’s then that derek rolls his orbs dramatically, “are you just gonna sit on your ass with (y/n), or are you gonna get up and train like you’re supposed to?” to which erica always acts nonchalant and quips, “i’m just gonna sit on my ass with my beautiful girlfriend/boyfriend.”

° her packmates tease her when they find the pair of you cuddled up on the couch on derek’s loft, fast asleep in each others arms. that’s when the pair of you are rudely awakened by isaac taking a picture of you both in your sleep. let’s just say he forgot to turn off the flash and now needs a new phone because erica smashed it into a thousand pieces for having woken you up. 

° “you know, (y/n), i wish we could just stay like this forever. i wish there was no school, no hunters, no danger... just us. i think i’d prefer just us.” she’d grin at you just before you’re about to fall asleep, to which you smile at, nuzzling your face into her neck in agreement.

° speaking of nuzzling... it’s a common occurrence for you guys to nuzzle your faces into each other’s necks, chests, etc.

° you’re often the one to lay your head down into her lap, to which she automatically responds by running her nimble fingers through your hair just the way you like it most. that is total and utter heaven to you.

° a gentler side appears from erica when you’re cuddling, a more vulnerable side. when she was human, she always felt small and lacked confidence in herself, she had no self-esteem. cuddling you pre-bite became her rock to stay sane, the one place where she felt she could be herself in the whole world. that still hasn’t changed for her even after the bite.

° when you’re cuddling, erica isn’t just a werewolf that shifts under the full moon, she’s just erica reyes, the love of your life. this is where she allows herself to fully be herself, all hopes and dreams, all insecurities and fears... there’s nothing that she can’t hide from you, and the feeling is mutual.

° during the afterglow of sex, erica will pull you close, limbs intertwined, foreheads pressed to each others as you lull off to sleep. this is when she can’t help but grin at you and tell you how much she loves you. she has a way with words and isn’t afraid to communicate her true feelings to you. she means them every time she utters them.

° the only way either one of you can fall asleep is when you’re spooning one another. so she usually sneaks through your bedroom window at night to do so. or if you’re lucky, you sleep over at the other’s house.

° cuddling can also become playful as erica is a playful individual herself. she will often boop your nose, squish your cheeks or even initiate tickle fights with you. it’s usually spontaneous and you can never predict when it’ll happen. it’s safe to say that she get’s you every time, and each time you’re giggling profusely.

° and that makes her the happiest, to see you happy, i mean. that’s all she ever wants.

° often sunday’s are cuddle days. the pair of you lounge on her sofa, you between her legs, back to her chest as you watch something on the tv. you never pay any mind to it because erica will always distract you, her breath on your ear, fingers sneaking up your shirt; and it’s not always in a sexual manner, she just needs to be touching you somehow. but you never mind when things do turn sexual.

° you especially love cuddling when it’s a rainy day/night, you’ve got the windows in the room cracked open a bit and you’re both wrapped up in each other’s embrace.

° there are often times where the pair of you just look into each other’s eyes, hands comfortably entangled together and no words exchanged for there isn’t any need for them. you both swear you know what the other is thinking just by the looks in your eyes, on your faces.

° your scent keeps erica really grounded, especially when she’s recently been having issues with shifting. she’ll push her nose into your hair or neck and inhale deeply, and the impulse to shift disappears immediately.

° you love the way she smells too, whether you’re human or not, it doesn’t matter. you find her scent just as comforting.

° the pair of you usually have a blanket or two wrapped around you whilst you hold each other. it just makes things far more cozier, although, since erica is a werewolf now she’s practically a walking, talking heater.

° sometimes you’ll wake up in erica’s arms with your throat all dry and a layer of sweat sticking your clothes to your skin. you always try to break free of her hold, but she wakes up and pulls you closer, begging you not to go.

° “but i need water. i’m literally going to die of dehydration.” to which she scoffs at but allows you to get up. she usually follows you to get water as well, clinging onto you from behind to which you can only chuckle endearingly at.

° “you’re sooo comfy!”

° “pretty please play with my hair.”

° “okay, can you move? your elbows digging into my ribs.”

° “erica, that’s my ass!”

° “i know.”

° “i love you.”

° “i love you too.”

° cuddle sessions always have some form of laughter involved, it just tends to happen. whether it’s dead in the night and you’ve got the giggle fits or because of a funny story you guys have told the other. laughter always peaks at some point.

° when standing, erica usually will stand behind you, wrapping her arms around your waist and burying her face in between your shoulder blades, on the back of your neck... depending on how tall you are in comparison.

° okay but you guys will totally rub the others back and it’s the sweetest thing ever?! and if the other stops you just nudge them repeatedly until the other starts again. and then there’s this dopey grin of satisfaction on the others face. it’s the sweetest.

° “i didn’t tell you to stop!”

° “don’t give me those puppy dog eyes!”

° “what puppy dog eyes?”

° “you know which ones i’m talking about!”

° “you mean these?”

° cuddling with erica is really intimate and just so precious. i want to cuddle with her

° when you guys study, at one point you guys end up ditching your books off of the bed in order to cuddle.

° if cuddling was a sport, you guys would honestly have first place.

° and it’s so cute bc you guys never get bored of holding the other.

° it just solidifies and deepens your bond as a couple, it’s honestly the sweetest.
