After talking things out, you felt a heavy load lift off of your chest. You were now laying with Eren in his bed again and nothing could've made you happier. You and him laid together on your backs in the dark room and talked while he played with your hands for a while before you went to sleep.

"Tomorrow I have a surprise for you so you better be looking forward to it." he said as he flipped over on his side and flipped you over too to make you face him.

"Is it a thing or a place?" you asked while you fidgeted with the necklace around his neck.

"It's a place I've been wanting to take you for a while. I think tomorrow will be a great time for it."

"I can't wait then. I want to get to sleep as soon as I can so that tomorrow will come faster. Goodnight." You brought your hand up to his neck and kissed him and then turned over onto your other side.

"Goodnight." Eren replied. He pulled your waist towards him so that your body was right against his, and he then kissed the side of your neck before you both went to sleep.

The next morning you woke up at 8:30 and carefully turned over to see if Eren was still sleeping, which he was. You decided to start getting ready for the day while he was asleep since you had nothing else to do. You checked the weather and it was going to be a little bit chilly all day, so you chose to wear your hoodie again and the pair of jeans that you had brought with you. You did your hair and makeup and put on some lotion. Once you were done, you decided to wake up Eren so that he could start getting ready also. You went over to his bed where he was asleep on his back, climbed on top of him, and poked at his chest while quietly saying his name. He finally opened his eyes and took a few slow blinks before fully waking up. He looked up at you and smiled.

"Hi." he said with an amused expression on his face.

"Hi." you said, giving him a big smile back.

He pulled you in by your neck to meet his face and kissed you. "How'd you sleep?" he asked, not letting go of your neck and keeping you close.

"Well. And you?" you asked, still having a mischievous grin because of the way you were on him.

"Mmmm pretty good since you were here. I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to sleep with you in my bed ever again so it felt pretty great." he said as he gave you another quick kiss and then began to sit up.

"I've already gotten ready while I was letting you sleep a little bit longer, so you better hurry and get ready because I want to go somewhere and get breakfast before we go to whatever the surprise is." you said while getting up and sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Okay it won't take me long to get ready so just sit tight for a minute. I'm going to the bathroom really quick. Oh and if you need to go, you can just put your hood up and follow me in. Nobody here actually cares if there's a girl around so if someone notices then it probably won't be a big deal." he said while going towards the door.

"Yeah I do need to go so I'll just follow you in. I'm kind of scared of going though. Not because I don't want to be seen, but because it's a college boys bathroom." you partially joked.

"It's actually not as bad as you'd expect. This campus prides itself on how well taken care of and nice it is so the cleaners always do well to take care of it. It won't be thatttt bad." he laughed.

"Ok ok hopefully you're right."

You went to the bathroom which was actually pretty clean, and made it back without being caught. Eren got ready and put on a white tshirt and a pair of black sweatpants. You got in his car and he drove you to a breakfast place. You ate and both enjoyed your meals, and then he told you that he was taking you to the surprise place once you got back to his car.

"You have to keep your eyes closed until we get to the place. Can you promise me that?" he asked as he opened the car door for you.

"I'll keep my eyes closed as long as it's not a long drive." you said while getting in the car.

"It's only about two minutes from here actually. There's signs for it around and if you see the building you'll know exactly what it is so you need to keep your eyes closed until we get there and I tell you to open them."

You obeyed him and kept your eyes closed as he drove you there, keeping your fingers interlocked with his. You thought about what he meant when he said that you would know what the building was if you saw it, but you couldn't come up with anything. You had no idea where you were going but you were really excited.

After a short time, you felt the car stop. "Okay we're here. I'm going to come get you out of the car and walk you to the front doors, so still keep your eyes closed." he instructed you.

He opened your door and helped you out and then slowly walked you onto the sidewalk in front of the building, while keeping his hands over your eyes.

"Okay. Open your eyes." he said, bringing his hands off of your eyes.

You looked at a sign on the building that read Planetarium.

"No way! Are you serious? I've always wanted to go to one of these!" you exclaimed as you gave him a tight hug.

"I thought you'd like it. Now come on, we need to hurry before they start showing all the stuff." he said, grabbing your wrist and pulling you into the building.
