The day of the gala has finally come, and you have all day to yourself to get ready. You wake up feeling refreshed. Last night, you decided to stay in, and not hang out with everyone from work— which was probably for the best, considering you and Eren are now giving each other the silent treatment. The tension between you two has gotten even thicker since you brushed him off that evening before going to see Erwin. You even turned down a date with him last night. All you wanted was just an evening to yourself, and it was much needed.

You decide to go with a light lunch to avoid any future bloating later. After that, you put on the show that you began watching with Erwin that night as you begin getting ready. It's early, yes, but by the time you finish with your hair, makeup, and getting dressed, it should be almost time to go. Plus, the venue is a decent drive away. Erwin did offer to send a car for you, but this time, you were happy to take him up on the offer— that'll be one less thing you have to worry about.

Once you begin getting ready, the hours fly by.

~~

You're just about finished now, and you receive a text from Erwin saying that your car should be there in about twenty minutes. You get butterflies in your stomach, not only from seeing Erwin's name pop up on your phone, but from the excitement of tonight too.

You make sure that your shoes are securely fastened, and you give yourself one final good spin in the mirror to relish in your own appearance.

On a day-to-day basis, you normally keep your makeup simple and quick to give yourself extra time in the morning before work. You've gotten dolled up more lately sometimes when you've gone out with Erwin, not that he seemed to mind either way, to be honest. But tonight was different— you're getting glam for yourself, and you not only look but you feel amazing.

You spritz on some perfume before you grab your bag and head down to the car. As you step out, you stop dead in your tracks as you see Erwin propped up against a town car.

"W-what are you doing here?" You ask him.

"My God. Don't you look beautiful?" He says smoothly as he walks towards you.

You didn't expect to see him just yet, especially since you weren't attending the party together anyways. That doesn't mean you aren't excited to see him though. You already know how good he looks, but Erwin in a tuxedo? Jesus. It fits him like a glove, accentuating his toned physique. You both marvel in each other's appearance before either of you say anything else.

Erwin seems to choke on his words for a second as he blushes at your face, which is exceptionally comely tonight, and your dress, which compliments your body in the best way possible.

"I wanted to surprise you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I know we aren't technically going to the party together, but I had to see you. I think I made the right decision. You look absolutely stunning." He says while kissing the back of your hand.

His words and slightly nervous tone make you melt.

"Thank you. I'm so happy to see you— you have no idea. And you look amazing too." You say as you eye him up and down.

"Thank you. Let's go."

He guides you to the car and holds the back door open for you. Before you're able to get in, Erwin gives you a tight squeeze from behind, and he places the lightest kiss on the nape of your neck, making your heart literally flutter.
