I just keep moving forward

Chapter 15: Started From The Bottom

Eren POV:

My parents began to drive out of the car park

Mikasa hasn't let go of me, I usually sit in the back left seat and her on the right. Instead she's sat in the middle seat and has been leaning on me the whole time, hugging my arm

Apparently she hasn't slept properly since my sentence, it hurts to know that I've hurt  her but atleast she's better now

It's a long journey from Mitras to Shiganshina so she basically gets half a night's sleep

After a while, I lay my head down on top of her's and fall asleep as well

A few hours later:

I can feel the familiar turns and dips in the road as I begin to wake up and realise I'm nearly home

I take in the familiar scene, the mid-winter scene. The trees are baron and the sky is dark, it's beautiful

I open the window to allow the soft gushes of wind to fly through my untrimmed hair

We pulled up to our house but Mikasa was still asleep

I picked her up, bridal style, and walked upstairs and put her down on my bed

I look around my room to see maybe a dozen empty boxes of tissues, my hoodies and tops laying around the place along with bottles of water and plates everywhere

She really hasn't left this room

I clean the room which takes around 15 minutes

I walk to get my phone but I see my reflection

What the fuck?

I look like a body builder

I haven't seen a full body reflection of myself in months and because of the cold, I've rarely seen myself topless

I take my top off and see that my shoulders have become broader, my chest looks dense and my arms have become veiny and muscular

My biceps don't look flat anymore, my hands and forearms are littered with veins here and there and- OMG

I've got abs, I've got a 4 pack now, I pull back some skin and see the top of a 6 pack

Jesus Christ

My waist and hips are smaller and my chest is wider

Even my neck is wider, I have these THICC neck veins now

I hear shuffling behind me-

Mikasa: "Oh my!- wow"

She oggles my topless body

Mikasa: "What happened?"

She gets up and starts lightly gliding her hands over my shoulders, chest and arms

Eren: "I don't know, I was working out 3 or 4 times a day-"

Mikasa: "I could get used to this-"

Eren: "Mika. I have a girlfriend"

Mikasa: "No no no I don't mean like that, it's just- easy on the eye is all" (she blushes and turns away)

I grab my weighing scales and stand on them, I didn't think it was that important when I was in prison

I look down and see:

7st 6lbs (104lbs) (48.2kg)

My God, I'm huge

I'm an under 9- under 13's Heavyweight now

I get a measuring tape and measure my waist and hips, they're thinner than before. I've lost 2lbs of body fat
