Hate feeling alone Eren x Reader

7

I wiped the sweat dripping down my face "almost there" I turned the bowl continuing to knead the dough. It was beginning to smooth and come together.

I glanced behind me to the clock above the table. "3 hours" was enough time to proof and bake it.

I smiled contently at all the food displayed on the table. I spent hours cooking and baking, this had to be perfect because...Aksel would be coming over for dinner. The thought made me so nervous that I cooked way more than I needed to.

Covering the bowl I set it aside to proof. A sudden sneeze came over me 'who's talking about me?' I wondered.

Upstairs I turned on the shower, the warmth of the water was just what I needed to relax. After showering I picked out an outfit. This would be one of those rare occasions I could actually dress up. I found a slim fitting dress that stopped mid-thigh in (Fav colour) and I put my hair up.

*knock Knock*

'Ehh?' I went downstairs, it wasn't time for Aksel to arrive yet. Opening the door revealed Eren, his hair falling down his shoulders "wow the door was locked this time" he laughed. I gave a small smile and turned away. " had to keep unwanted intruders out" I told him. I could hear him following behind me.

"Shouldn't you be with Mikasa and not over here?" my back faced him as I uncovered the dough. It had risen nicely.  I brought the tray in front of me "(YN)" his footsteps stopped. I could sense him hovering over me. "You know I only want you" Eren's voice lingered by my ear. His hair tickling my neck.

"Is that so?" I placed the dough on the tray trying to block out Eren's touch. "Armin told me you and her have gotten a lot closer" I shifted over to the oven placing the tray in it. Eren eyed me "beautiful" he whispered, my cheeks redden. "Did you dress up for me?" He stepped forward

"No"
"Did you cook all of this for me?"
"No"
"Then who?" His thumb caressed the side of my face. I bit my lip holding my self back from kissing him right there, his lips were daring me too.

"Answer me first" I told him "You and Mikasa- is it true?"
"What do you think?"
"Eren- just tell me"
"Fine, we didn't I only made it seem like we did, to make you jealous"
"Are my feelings a joke to you Eren!" I pushed him away. Eren could see the hurt in your eyes and he instantly regretted his actions.
"(YN)-"

Another knock came from the door.

"Listen please" Eren grabbed my arm  "I'm sorry (YN), but you hurt me that day" he pulled me in closer.
"I understand why you did, we should've talked first I didn't mean to rush things" He left small kisses on my neck.
I held him, my fingers running through his soft locks. He stopped looking deeply into my eyes "can we-"

*knock knock*

"(YN)?" A muffled voice came from door.
"Oh!" I stepped away from Eren going to open it. "Sorry Aksel" the black haired man smiled handing me a small bouquet of flowers. "No worries"

His smile disappearing once Eren walked in
"Eren Yeager" Aksel's face darkened resembling the same expression at the bar.

"Who the hell are you?" The Yeager stepped towards him both stood eye to eye.
"Calm down the both of you!" I stood between them.
"I was expecting more from the infamous Yeager" Aksel looked Eren up and down. "By the way (YN) you look stunning" he admired you.

Eren grabbed Aksel's shirt "I said...who the hell are you!" Eren sparked in fury
"go ahead show (YN) what a true monster you are-"
Eren swiftly punched Aksel knocking him to the ground.
Aksel wastes no time and punches Eren back but holds him down

"Eren!" Another voice calls, this time it was Mikasa.
She headlocks Aksel "touch him again and I'll kill you" Aksel let's go of Eren

I stood back watching the chaos unfold before me.
I could see the blade in Mikasa's pocket 'what was she planning to do if I was the only one here?'
"Get off him" my voice flat pulling at her.

Aksel wiped the blood off his face
I grabbed tissue and disinfectant to clean the cut on his lip.
"I'm so sorry Aksel, I understand if you want to leave"
"We can continue our date, I've been looking forward to your cooking" he took hold of my hand

"Date?" Eren spoke
I walked over to Eren his eyes following me but I tried to avoid them. His face had a few cuts "hold still" I told him.  "(YN)?" The sadness in his voice as he whispered broke me.
"It is a date Eren-" before I could explain Mikasa takes hold of him "let's go"
Eren didn't hesitate.

The door finally shut
Were things really done between Eren and I?
