All A Joke (Eren X Reader) {Modern AU}

\48/

Y/N POV

Winter break went by So quickly. I had spent a lot of time with Eren. Along with our other friends.

It was a lot of fun. We had gone to Armin's house, Reiner's house, and even Annie's house.

It was awesome. I had a great time spending the break with them.

The Winter Ball was in 2 weeks. I was very excited for it. This was going to be the first dance I go to. And I have friends to go with.

I was looking forward to it. Especially to spend that time with Eren. It was exciting to think about.

Each time I would bring up the dance to Eren he would kind of brush it off or say he wanted to talk about something else.

I found it weird but I just accepted it. What I'd dances aren't really his thing. Parties are though. He likes partying.

Maybe he'll come around and like the idea of going to the Winter Ball with me.

He really is sweet. He's been very affectionate but also kind of closed off. He seems to be in much more thought about things more now than ever.

Its worrisome but I don't want to pry and make him feel like I'm just trying to get into his business.

I have asked him if anything is bothering him and he just gives me the same responses

"I'm just a little tired. Sorry for zoning out on you."

Or my personal favorite

"Harmonica Titties... Don't question that. Just know it's weird enough to make you not want to know anything else for a few hours"

He really is a work of wonders.

My mom still hasn't come around to liking him. He's still seen as my good for nothing boyfriend who likes the doorbell a little too much.

But Th at part us just to annoy the living hell out of my mom. Which is well deserved. At least that's how me and Eren see it.

It was any regular morning. Eren would come pick ne up from my house, he'd drive us to school. We get out, hold hands, go to our lockers together and head to class.

Except this time, I only had history at the end of the day with Eren. No English in the morning and no lunch with him.

Marco, Sasha, Jean and Bertholdt, we shared the same lunch period. I didn't sit with them though. I'd feel uncomfortable sitting with them, mainly Jean after he hasn't spoken to me in so long and only said hurtful things the last time we interacted.

So I sat by myself and Sasha would really try and drag me along to where they were sitting. Bertholdt even tried one day to try and convince me to sit with them.

Of course I declined just so things weren't awkward. I didn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable. Its better to stay away from Jean for now.

It was the 4th day back to school and the morning was like usual. I now had anatomy first period, stats still stay as second period. Then it was English, yoga, lunch, ceramics, psychology and then history.

It sucked That I only had one class with Eren but I didn't mind because he would always try and find a way to walk me to class.

Eren really did try and make sure I was comfortable. Or at least as comfortable as I can be. He'd always worry if I ate during lunch, or if I was lonely, or if any thing would happen to me.

I always reassured him Th at I was fine and that it didn't bother me I sit alone. And Th at I was eating properly. I did appreciate him worrying about me.

Regardless things were starting to kick off in classes. People were finally settling in and things got serious in my classes.

As I said, it was the 4th day. My morning classes had gone pretty good. I set a goal saying I was going to try and stay in top of my stuff. Even try and get ahead if I can. Which I think I can totally do.

It was lunch time. I wasn't feelings all that hungry, but since I knew Eren would pester me late, I got my food. They had popcorn chicken today which wasn't a bad choice. I love chicken.

I also grabbed an Apple sauce. My dad left a baggie filled with green grapes in the fridge for me.

Green grapes are way better than the purple ones. Reiner tried arguing about this with me, but lost Th at discussion with multiple people saying the green ones were better.

I was munching on my grapes and doing some homework when I saw someone sit down in front of me. I had my headphones in so if they were speaking I couldn't hear anything.

Then I realized how I can't hear them. How rude of me.

I looked up and saw that it was Jean who had sat down.

I was stunned.

"I wanted you to know that your welcome to sit with us. I thought you'd feel more comfortable hearing that from me than from Sasha or Bertholdt." He said looking at me.

He didn't look bothered. But he didn't look happy. Almost emotionless. Or as if he was forced to come and say that to me.

"Thank you. I prefer this to be working time though. I appreciate it." I said giving a small smile.

I didn't feel comfortable with Jean anymore. At least not how I used to feel around him. 

I felt like I now had to be on edge and keep a guard up.

Before he knew how I was feeling before I even I said it out loud. He always gave me that sense of security. A sense of safety and comfort.

I didn't feel that any more.

I felt as it I was pushed farther and farther away.

"Suit yourself. Just know if you change your mind you're welcome to join us." He said before getting up and walking to his table.

I felt weird.

I continued to do my work for the rest of lunch time.

My afternoon classes passed by quickly and they weren't very action packed.

It was a usual afternoon. Eren and I go to our lockers together and he drives me home. He pissed off my mom because she pulled up to the house and was getting groceries out of the car when we had just arrived.

Eren being the good Samaritan he is offered to help, which my mother accepted because she was doing a potty dance.

"Her potty dance is just like yours." Eren said chuckling.

God he makes me so happy.

Not soon after Eren left. My mom didn't say thank you so I had to.

He got happy that she actually let him help out. He said that it was improvement from just ringing the doorbell.

I did homework most of the evening. Other than going downstairs to prepare a salad for myself.

My mom had made some chicken So I took the opportunity to have a chicken salad. It was great.

Towards late evening I got a text from an unknown number.

??- Y/N. It's Mikasa, we're going dress shopping on Saturday. We're going at around 1pm. Hope you can join.

A text from Mikasa?!?!?!?!

What is this??? I assumed she got my number from any of our friends.

Y/N- Yeah I'd love to join. Thank you for the invite.

I smiled. May Be things are starting to turn around.

What if she really does accept me and get over hating me.

Maybe this is a good sign.

I showered and I kept thinking about how happy I was that Mikasa was finally coming around.

I really hope it stays this way.
