"You suck at pool, Connie, damn

"You suck at pool, Connie, damn." Jean mumbled, tapping the pool cue against the concrete floor of the basement, "We're stripes, not solids. I should've picked Sasha..."

Eren let out a chuckle, wrapping his lips around the beer bottle, taking a swig of the liquid. "You picked him," he reminded Jean, watching Mikasa and Armin step up to the table, ready to take their shot.

Jean brushed him off, "Yeah, yeah. Finish telling us about your lil' date," Jean said, turning the song on the stereo. He'd finally settled on Swimming Pools by Kendrick Lamar, sitting back down in the squeaky bar stool beside the pool table.

The group of six had been sitting in the basement of the safehouse, music bouncing throughout the four walls. They'd gotten a few cases of beers from the house along with a few snacks, deciding on a game of pool between four of them.

"So then, I drove Y/N back to their place--" Eren began, immediately cut off by gasps and heads whipping over to him.

Connie was the first to say something, "You did what?!" he looked at him in disbelief, then at Jean and Sasha, their expressions matching his.

Eren rolled his eyes, "It wasn't like that, weirdos." he said, a smile pulling at the corners of his lips, "I just drove them home and walked them to their door. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Do they know about your brother yet?" Armin asked, turning to face Eren.

Eren shook his head, "Nope, they have no clue so far.." he replied.

"What's the story about your brother?" Sasha asked, almost elbow deep in one of the bags of chips they'd gotten, "You never told me, I don't think."

"Well... My older brother, Zeke, has a different mom and he was raised around Marleyans because of her. My dad told him that he could come back to Eldian with him after his mother passed away, but he declined. Commander Erwin had explained to him that he was welcome to come back had he apologized for the disloyalty, but all he did was call him out by his name and threaten him. Captain didn't take this well so... he lost his opportunity to come back here." Eren explained, taking another sip of the beer in his hand, "I don't know why he was so stubborn about it. It's like now whenever he sees me, he seems apologetic, but he also seems like he doesn't want to speak to me."

Sasha furrowed her brows, "Why didn't he want to come back...? He didn't have any family with the Marleyans."

"He doesn't like my mom," Eren responded, "Months before his mom passed, she had this huge fight with my mom, like... physical fight. Basically, our dad told her that he was never going back to her. After that, she got this bad alcohol addiction and died from alcohol poisoning. Zeke just always blamed our dad for it... Now that my parents aren't affiliated with Eldians anymore, there's nobody to compromise and sweet talk Levi into giving him another chance. So he's stuck." Eren shrugged, "I didn't really know him, so I don't really care."
