Eren's Pov )

'Eren I swear to god if you don't get your ass out of the door this instant , I will block the door and let you starve , do you hear me? And ill take an immense amount of enjoyment from it too'

My head perked up at the sound of my sister , she has a job interview in a few hours and she wanted to not only leave exceptionally early , but she wanted to get a coffee beforehand to calm her nerves. The interview was something to do with assistance , something about an employer mixing up his 'to' and 'too's' all of the time , so they wanted her to go in and help him. I couldn't complain much , ever since I graduated university I felt like me and her were too close, so a little space to breathe would be much appreciated on my end. ' Alright Mika , i'm coming'

I grabbed my jacket and threw it on. There was a massive mirror located next to my door , and I took a moment to take in my appearance before I left. My eyes landed on my floppy brown hair , which looked like a birds nest half of the time , then onto my chubby face and eyes. There was nothing particularly special about my eyes other than their colour. One was a mixture of blue and yellow , and the other was a deep green. I had never liked my eyes , children had bullied me growing up saying that they were ugly , and I mean, I guess things stick with you?

Shaking my head I ran out of the door and down the stairs , however I ran a little too fast and ended up tripping down the last few. ' Ahhh Mika help I'm going to die!'

My body hit the floor with a significant 'thud' and my hands immediately went to my head ' OWIE MIKA CALL AN AMBULANCE'

My sister in all of her glory appeared with a slight smirk , eyeing me up and down before rolling her eyes and offering me a hand, 'Eren , you fell two steps'

I glared at her , my hands still placed on my head , only to be brought slightly down to my neck. 'It was a long two stairs' I mumbled , before dejectedly grabbing the offered hand ' You ready for the interview Mika?'

Her smile faltered a little , 'No, actually I'm really nervous'

I chuckled , grabbing my phone out of my back pocket and inspecting it for any damage that the fall could have caused, 'You? Scared?' I pursed my lips together , scrunched my eyes dramatically and clutched my heart, 'I never thought I would see the day!

Although that composure completely left my soul when her fist swung into my chest 'Shut up you idiot and put your shoes on!'

- Time Skip-

I brought the breakfast muffin up to my mouth and took a bite , 'Seriously Mika....oh god sweet air... you'll be fine!.. Really- Damn my lungs are failing!'. I turned to her and offered her a cheesy grin, swallowing promptly , 'You'll kick ass!'

After having what felt like 10 panic attacks in the car , Mikasa finally gathered enough courage to leave the old beaten Ford Fiesta by itself , and to go into the coffee shop. However when we got in we realised that we were way behind schedule, and after a frantic rush to order our drinks , we practically sprinted back to the car. The only problem with this is that I cannot run , like at all , me and running don't belong in the same sentence. I was the kid who would deliberately sprain his ankle before p.e lessons for god's sake.

So here I was , standing in front of Ackerman Enterprises, sweat dripping down my back and practically doubled over gasping for sweet , sweet oxygen. Mikasa on the other hand was completely unfazed , she had likened it to a warm up. I think she's psychotic. 

'I hope so , Eren'

Honestly , after hearing so much hype about this building , I was not let down. The outside design was slick and black , leaving an element of intrigue and mystery , yet the whole thing look polished , as if every single window had been dusted. After a few minutes of literally dying on the floor , we ascended into the building. 

Mikasa went straight to the front desk to let them know that she had arrived , whilst I stayed back at the waiting room. It was a huge room, and it was littered with people of all ages. One person in particular caught my eye , a little boy who was sitting by himself and eating a triangle sandwich. I watched him for a little while , munching on what I can only assume was a Nutella sandwich , before realising that he wasn't alone.

A bit to the left of him were a few more kids , and a slightly older looking woman. What immediately struck me about this group is that they were all wearing the same red and blue uniform. Oh! Its a school trip! I looked back at the little boy who had been outcasted from the rest and walked over to him and waved ,'Hello there! Are you on a school trip?'

He peered up at me with a mouth full of food and nodded shyly.

I giggled before sitting down cross legged next to him , ' If you're on a school trip , then why are you all alone!'

He looked up at me , ' We - Well I tried t- to talk to the bo- boys but they told me t-that I was weird, S-so I came to be weird b-by myself'

I smiled sadly , before getting an idea. 'Hm I see... Can I tell you something?'

His head immediately snapped up to my line of sight, whilst grinning excitedly 'Like a secret?!'

I laughed cocking my head to one side , ' See my eyes? They're different colours'

He stood up , placing his hands on my shoulders , and peered into my eyes , 'Yeah mister! They're so cool!'

I blinked a few times brushing off the uncomfortable feeling that I got from someone staring at my eyes , 'Well when I was in school everybody used to call me weird for having eyes like this. Bullies will be bullies , and we can't change that. BUT , you're not weird , in fact you're super cool!' I stood up from the floor and punched my hand into the air 'Like some type of superhero or something!'

The little kid followed suit and threw his hands into the sky 'Yeah! I am a superhero!'

We continued like that for a little while before I saw Mikasa motion for me to follow her from the other side of the room , ' Hey buddy, I have to go now! But remember you can do anything okay? And you don't need mean bullies when you have superpowers!'

He grinned sadly before turning and marching towards his classmates , I feel like a proud dad

I turned to walk in the direction of Mikasa , she has always been fussy and if I keep her waiting she migh- ugh! , What was that!?

In front of me stood the scariest man I had ever seen in my entire life. His gunmetal eyes pierced my body , and not in a good way. I took in his attire , he was wearing a black suit , which was ironed to perfection , and covered in what I could only presume was coffee. My eyes widened as I realised that paying off that suit would be more than my monthly rent ,  and folded my sleeve over my hand , dabbing at his chest 'Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going, i-i'll pay for the suit!

He looked at me once again , his eyes locking with mine, but this time his features seemed to soften momentarily , before his face hardened again ' Forget it Brat, I have somewhere to be'

And with that he turned and left.
