Chapter 3: Projects & Plans

After making sure you didn't have any sperm inside of you that survived your inconsistent birth control and breedable fertility, you could finally focus on the group project that was a few weeks away from presentation. After attempting to sync up your busy schedule with Fernanda's, today was the day you'd both be able to work on it. Today, Kelis was lingering in your apartment with her own books to study with, and she'd briefly left to go grab some snacks by the dorm cafe as noon struck. You knew Fernanda would be here soon.  Eren left, saying He would go to the gym as he normally did, but after you watched him take some odd cryptic files with him, you figured it wouldn't just be the gym, so you didn't put any expectations on him to come back.

Fernanda came in at noon-thirty on the dot. She looked around at your dorm room, almost salivating at its decor and space. Fernanda was honest, full of productive energy, and genuinely curious about the world around you two. She felt like more of an excited naïve freshman versus a senior in college like the both of you were. After she'd gotten over the look and feel of your dorm, you two began to brainstorm ideas in your (now clean) bedroom. You watched as Fernanda went between her laptop and notebook, jotting things down in her left hand, unable to truly focus on your own ideas, just watching her. Did she seem like someone Eren would be interested in? What about you?

Focus Y/N. Focus!

You shook your head vigorously and began to hone in on this final project ideas with her. In the living room, you heard Kelis going to open up your dorm door, and hearing her greet Armin and Eren. You were surprised that he was home so soon, and that he'd brought Armin in tow. He walked in the room  with you and Fernanda and it seemed as if nothing had changed, so you considered yourself to be in the clear as far as that 'summer situation' went, for now. You stood up off of the floor and reached out to him, gripping the bottom of his shirt and pulling him into a kiss, as he met you with the same energy, letting out a small groan against your lips to tease. You pulled away from him, raising a brow at him before looking back to Fernanda.

"Yes, this is..."

"Eren. We've met before on school grounds.", she spoke, standing up with the two of you as Eren nodded.

"Fernanda.", he recalled, as she nodded. You didn't like her lingering look and the odd silence that filled the three of you.

"I see you've brought Armin, I can hear Kelis talking his ear off outside.", you spoke out, as he looked back to you with a shrug.

"Armin probably likes it, but he won't tell me if he did.", he said with a small chuckle before looking back at you and Fernanda.

"I'm going to let you guys-"

"Y/N!!!!! Why didn't you tell me Armin was so funny!", Kelis called out, walking into your room and dragging Armin behind her. So much for you actually getting started on the project. Kelis stopped as she looked as you and Eren, her eyes growing wide and her head tilting. Kelis knew the two of you didn't stop hanging out since she'd seen you and him for the first time, but it must've been much more serious than you've imagined.

Armin started to protest Kelis' bold claims of him having humor, only claiming to be an honest man, as Kelis wouldn't hear anything else besides that Armin was the funniest person around who was obsessed with reading. You'd then noticed that Fernanda didn't seem to be comfortable with the different energies in the room, so being a good group partner, you interjected within.

"We're almost done settling on a project so could we have a few more minutes with just us?"

They looked at you for a moment a bit confused,  but soon,  Armin led Kelis out, and Eren slowly followed after them, looking back at the two of you. It seemed as if he didn't necessarily want to leave you two alone, but eventually, he exited out. You sat back next to Fernanda on the floor criss-cross, thinking about the look Eren gave you. Was he giving it to you? Or was he giving it to Fernanda?
