"C'mon, you can't even say that the movie wasn't good. Whenever I looked to you, you looked like you were lost in the screen. Your mouth was hanging open and your eyes were like-" Eren playfully mocked your expression, earning a hit to his shoulder.

You continued walking to the door of the movie theater with him, "At least I wasn't like you, jumping at every loud noise the movie made. We ain't even see a horror movie and you still managed to get scared," You said.

He pushed open the door for you, his hand coming down to find yours as you both walked down the sidewalk and to the mall. You opened your phone, navigating through it to find Instagram. You swiped over to the camera, taking a video of you and Eren walking to brag-- post on your story. With one hand, you'd tagged him and posted the video, not thinking much of it. It was a simple story post, nothing major, nothing too deep. It was cute, an adorable gesture you'd made to show him off.

"I had fun today, you know.." You said to Eren, swirling around the milkshake in your glass, "And this diner is really pretty, this seems like it's more your speed."

Eren smiled, "Yeah?" he hummed, looking at you through his eyelashes. "I'm glad you had fun, I wanted to take you out again before you met my friends." he chuckled.

"What? You don't think I'll want to hang out again after you introduce me to them?" You reached across the table, taking his hands in yours, letting them rest against the table.

Eren took in a sharp breath, shaking his head. "Nuh-uh. They're all weird, they might scare you away from me," Eren told you.

"Weren't you the one who called me in the middle of the day without warning because you wanted to hear my voice while you played your video games?" You raised a brow, running your thumbs over his knuckles.

Eren sucked his teeth, rolling his eyes. "That doesn't even count," Eren said.

As you were opening your mouth to reply, you looked down at your phone as it buzzed with a notification. You didn't want to unlock it mid-date, you wanted all your attention to be on Eren tonight.

He'd taken you to a movie, the mall, and then a diner, it was painfully obvious that this boy was trying his hardest with you. It was cute.

"Are you ready for me to take you home? It's getting kind of late, I don't want to keep you out too late," he offered.

You nodded, standing up from the booth. "What a gentleman," you joked, following him to his bike.

It wasn't until you'd gotten home, you finally checked your phone after telling Eren goodbye. It was another text from that Sophie girl, but this time, it was a story reply. You clicked on the notification, reading what she'd said.

'Is this Eren Yeager?'

You'd obviously tagged his account, she could've just clicked on his username and answered her own question.

'yeah'

You replied simply, walking through your quiet apartment. You tossed your phone onto your bed, immediately going to the bathroom to get yourself ready for bed.

As you were running your toothbrush under water, snapping the cover onto it, your phone dinged not once, not twice, but four times. It couldn't have been Eren, he was supposed to be driving home, and even then, he probably wouldn't quadruple text you in a matter of thirty seconds. Troye would be sleeping, if she wasn't, she'd drag herself into your room rather than texting you. It just had to be Sophie.

You turned off the light, finding your way to your bed in the dark. You tapped your phone, eyes scanning each word of every text.

'I'm coming to you as a woman, Y/N.'
