Okay, but what about Eris and Iris on a motorcycle in like a modern au of Spirit Meets the Bones (which is great btw, I love it). But can you imagine Eris taking Iris for a ride on his motorcycle?!?

So I literally had to stop what I was doing to write this out because FUNNY ENOUGH, I was thinking about them in Modern AU form last night HAHA.

-

Like a true bad boy, Eris obviously has three different motorcycles ( and 4 different cars but who is counting?)

He is the COO of his father’s company and naturally, is filthy rich. Your typical fuck boy tbh. He’s hot and knows it. Has his MBA in Marketing and believes he’s God’s gift to the world.

Through her father, Iris ends up working for their company as one of their Engineer Designers (because she would absolutely have an IT background).

They just moved to the city and everything is still new and unknown to her.

She met Eris on her first day and he was predictably, a rude dick which resulted in her calling him out in an elevator full of people without realizing who he was in the company.

Iris gets a summons from the COO’s office and is terrified because “holy shit it’s my first day on the damn job what could I have possibly done wrong? My father is going to kill me.” 

Lo and behold, it’s the asshole from the elevator who turns out to be her boss’s boss’s boss.

Eris is just smirking at her from his chair and Iris is sitting rigidly in her seat.

“Are you going to fire me?” she demands.

He snorts and leans his elbows on his desk. “Bold of you to use that tone when I could end your career right here, right now.” 

But she’s way too interesting and pretty for him to do that. Eris likes a challenge, hasn’t been put in his place before, and honestly? He finds it super hot. But he’s also smart, he can’t date an employee, too big of a power imbalance. But he’s jumping the gun, she looks like she wants to murder him.

In typical Eris fashion, he tries to woo her outside of working hours but keeping it a secret from everyone (especially their fathers). 

Iris resists it because she isn’t sure if this is the kind of relationship she wants to have. She’s always been around men with power and men with power are usually pieces of shit but he’s attractive, goes out of his way to make things easier for her, and makes her feel seen and valued.

Eris makes sure to show her he means no harm while still managing to be a dickhead (it’s the spice of his personality🤌🏼). 

He goes out of his to be a very annoying friend first.

It takes about six months but Iris is finally open to going on a single date. One. No more.

They set up a church and state policy where work stays at work and their “relationship” isn’t brought up at work. 

On the first date, he arrives to pick her up on his motorcycle and Iris almost has a heart attack.

“I’ve never been on one of these.” she squeaks out.

“I got you, little gazelle,” he said and offered his extra helmet, the corner of his lips turned up. “I’ll take care of you.”

And he does. Eris makes it the smoothest ride possible while giving her a chance to view the new city she’s now living in.

When they finally reach their destination and Eris parks, Iris realizes just how much she likes having her arms wrapped around him. Especially when he takes off his helmet and looks over his shoulder at her with a smile. 

And oh. 

Oh no.

Her heart did a somersault. 

He senses her hesitation and slides off the motorcycle to gently pull off her helmet and fix her hair. “One date,” he says. “Forget about everything else for a while and let’s just have some fun. You can go back to hating me afterward.”

“I still hate you now.” she says quietly but she can’t keep her eyes off him, just as he can’t keep his eyes off her.

And Eris gives her a small smile. “You’re such a beautiful liar.”

So what I’m saying is: Modern AU, Workplace Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Guy is the biggest simp for the way his girl just breathes? Yup.
