Girlfriend... Annie and Mikasa gave you a 'that's tuff buddy' kind of look. You should have known. Hot guys like Eren were always taken. That's just how things worked. The more you thought about it, the more your hopes sank to your stomach. It was a familiar feeling, considering you hadn't dated anyone since your freshman year. You were thinking about escaping to the bathroom. That was, until Eren said something that startled everyone.
"She's not here and I don't even care about her," Eren claimed, shrugging. Connie made an 'o' shape with his mouth while Armin scratched his head. Jean just shook his head. While a shred of hope ignited in your chest, you couldn't help but wonder why he'd say that about his own girlfriend...
Eren looked around until he finally made eye contact with you again. He turned his body towards you, and your breath hitched. He began to slide closer to you. He never broke eye contact, which you found extremely attractive. He brushed your hair away from your face, making butterflies erupt in your stomach. His touch was gentle. You could hear all of your friends instigating in the background, but you almost couldn't. That's how intense it was. Before long, he leaned in and you couldn't stop your body from following. Then he kissed you. His lips were soft and he placed his fingers by your chin, to life your face up. He tasted sweet, probably from the ice cream earlier.
You melted into him, making sure to control your breathing. But your heart was beating out of your chest. You wanted him to keep touching you, to keep kissing you. He was like a magnet, and you were a big scrap of metal. Oddly connected and definitely fitting.
You could here all the 'oooooooh's' coming from your friends and you could feel Eren smile as he kissed you. But remembering what Jean said earlier, you pulled away.
Cheers of surprise erupted from your friends and your butterflies were still all in your stomach. Looking away, you noticed Connie was recording. Sh*t. That couldn't be good. Your cheeks were still hot from this kiss. Not only did he think you were the prettiest girl in the room, but he kissed you. When there was a MUCH safer option. When Eren noticed how flustered you looked, he laughed, using his thumb to rub his lip as he eyed you up and down. He winked subtly before looking away, making butterflies flutter in your stomach again. They felt good sometimes, but the constant butterflies were getting on your nerves.
