Your eyes flutter open. The room is dark with the faint glow from the moon through the shades. You sit up against Eren's headboard and rub your eyes. You watch as his chest rise and falls. "He looks so peaceful" You smile to yourself.

Eren takes a deep breath and rolls over. You hop out of the bed and bend backwards, cracking your back in the process.

"Damn that shit kinda hurt" You whisper. You walk out of the open bedroom door and feel the walls as you walk towards the kitchen. "Shit" You clutch your toe as it aches.

Rounding the corner you reach the kitchen and pull open the fridge. "Eren really needs to grocery shop" You mumble. You peek over at the clock on the oven. "4:52" It reads.

You grab the container of strawberries and head over to the sink with them. Once there you give them a rinse and shake them gently to get rid of excess water. You pull one out and bite into it.

"Mmm" You hum.

"This needs some whip cream" You spin around back to the fridge and open it, taking the bottle of whip cream out. You squirt it onto the strawberry and take a second bite.

Content with your early morning snack you head back to Eren's room and climb into his bed. You grab the remote off the nightstand and turn on the TV, making sure to set it to a low volume.

You watch as Eren shifts slightly and goes back to being completely still. You lay on your stomach and scroll through the channels.

There was less moonlight now. A pink, orange mix poured through the little slits in the blinds.

"Y/n?" You hear a raspy voice behind you.

"Hey sleepy head. Did I wake you?" You respond, peeking back for barely a second.

You hear him groan "Nah" He pauses. "Is that my strawberries and whip cream?" You giggle.

"Nope" You look back  to see him shaking his head.

"Why are you up so early? You ok?"

You shrug "I just woke up randomly and wanted a little snack"

"I have a question for you" You say

"Shoot" He answers.

"Actually two" You add. "The first one is how do you sleep so pretty?"

Eren knits his eyebrows together "How do I sleep pretty..?" He quietly mumbles, mulling over the question in his mind.

"I'm not sure I just— sleep"

"Question two" You pause "What happened with Dre?" Eren had been making eye contact with you but now his eyes were down, looking at some imaginary spec.

He was quiet for a long time, not saying a word. You didn't even know if he was breathing. All you could hear were the quiet commercials in between episodes of the show.

"I don't know" He finally says. "I honestly have no idea. I just saw him and I saw you and I didn't like it."

You mimic Eren's actions and grow silent.

"You haven't told me how you feel."

How did you feel? Him beating Dre up, getting you a bracelet and a necklace, making it a official, dropping Camryn, and wanting you back didn't make up for the disappointment you felt in him.
