" coffee's like liquid drugs . "
; a modern au where
you and eren are
early morning
coffee addicts .
----------
It was a brisk winter's morning.
Snow gently glazed the iced-over windows, and branches tapped at the house with the wind. It was early dawn, and the sun barely peeked through the trees.
"Hngh."
You heard eren stir beside you as he rolled over to face you. His hair stuck up in all different directions, and his eyes bore deep lines, sleep deprived and half-lidded as he wrapped his arms around you from behind. He pulled you in and rested his head on yours, kissing your head gently.
"Morning sunshine," he murmured lazily. You opened your eyes and reached back, brushing his cheek with your fingertips.
"I'll make some coffee. That sound good?" You rolled over to kiss his forehead softly. He nodded sleepily, rolling back over to try and wake himself up a bit more.
You slid out of bed, grabbed a hairband and pulled it over your hair as you made your way to the kitchen.
"You want decaf or normal?" you called back to him, flicking the switch on the coffee machine.
"Normal's fine," he responded. You smiled and got out two cups for the both of you. They were smooth ceramics, matching with colours dancing across the surface, yours was warm, reddish colours, and Eren's was pale, muted blues. You made them at a pottery class you two took together a few years back.
The machine crackled as the water boiled, and you yawned, reaching for the sugar and milk in the cupboard. You felt arms snake around your waist and pull you backwards.
"You smell nice," he grumbled, holding you in the embrace until the coffee pot dinged and the bitter aroma of the drink filled the air.
"Eren," you whispered under your breath.
"Hmm?" he nuzzled his nose into the crook of your neck.
"Coffee's done," you said through your smile, blushing gently.
"I don't care. I want you."
