Eren x Reader (Modern AU) Stupid Idea

Stupid Idea

The creaking, squeaking, and various other bike noises filled your ears. You were hurriedly peddling your (f/c) bike past various streets. Thoughts spun around in your mind as you made vigorous pushes on the worn plastic peddles. You had just finished up a late test at your high school, and as soon as you stepped outside, your phone buzzed, alerting you of a text. Your closest friend, Eren Jaeger, had simply texted you "Meet at my house. I have news." That was all. Scared out of your mind, you had jumped on your trusty bike and began your trip. Thank goodness Eren only lived like a block from the school.

As his house came into view, you gave one last huff and took a sharp turn into his driveway. Throwing your bike to the ground along with your helmet, you jogged up to the front door and knocked several times. The door swung open to reveal Eren. His chocolate locks looking a little ruffled, and his teal eyes weary..or worried, almost. You cocked an eyebrow. "Is everything alright, Eren?" You said, placing your hands on your hips. Eren smiled and nodded, motioning you to come inside.
"I'm sorry for getting you worried, (y/n)." Eren mumbled an apology, scratching the back of his neck. You gave him a reassuring smile. "No need to apologize. But, why did you need me here?" You cautiously said. Eren averted his gaze to the floor, his cheeks a light red. "Ere-" You were cut off by strong hands clasping onto your shoulders. "I-I like you a lot, (y-y/n)..!" His cheeks were engulfed in a rosey red now, his eyes locked onto yours. You were utterly shocked. Though you claimed him to just be a close friend, you really had deeper feelings for him, so hearing this made you all fluttery and light. "Eren..I.." Your cheeks began to heat up. "I knew this was a stupid idea..." Eren mumbled, his hands returning to his lap. "I'm sorry, (y/n), you can l-!" He was suddenly interrupted by your smooth lips locking onto his. Shocked at first, Eren slowly returned the kiss, wrapping his arms around your waist to pull you closer. As you pulled away and gasped for air, you rested your head against his chest. "It wasn't a stupid idea," you whispered. "it was a nice one."
