Chapter Ten

Eren awoke the next morning to something completely unexpected. He felt something warm and soft on his face, but it didn't feel like the blanked. He opened his eyes and saw Armin's strawberry pants in his face.

Eren was laying with his stomach to the ceiling and head on the pillow, but Armin was laying facing the opposite direction, his stomach atop of Eren's. Eren got extremely uncomfortable with this awkward position, and knew Armin wouldn't want to either.

"Uh, hey Armin?" he said calmly. "Mhm" Armin made a muffled noise, and slowly opened his eyes, looking straight at Eren's you-know-what. Talk about awkward. Armin quickly toppled off of him, apologizing. "No, it's ok, I'm pretty sure it was an accident. Not like I mind, though." Armin rolled his eyes. "Ok, well, whatever. Let's just go have some breakfast." "Seems fair." Eren responded. "So should we eat out, or just at home? Because I don't have a ton of food... In fact, I should probably go shopping..." "Nah, we can do that later. We should go to McDonald's!" "No, Eren, I need to go shopping."

It wasn't that Armin didn't want to listen to Eren or had anything against him, it's just... This was the day Eren was supposed to be leaving, and Armin wasn't ready just yet. He also just had a weird sort of feeling that Eren wanted to leave that almost made him sick.

"Well, whatever you say." Eren said, and held his hand helping him off the bed. "Your house! And I'm just glad I get to stay until the rest of the afternoon, hopefully." "Oh," Armin started, "What time do you have to leave?" "Around 5 I'm pretty sure." "Ah, ok. There's a party in the old warehouse past downtown that starts at 6, so that'll work fine." Armin stood up using Eren's hand, but Eren didn't let go for a few seconds. He wanted to have Armin as long as possible before he had to go. Oh, what he would do to stay in this large house by the beautiful ocean with this lovely boy, forever.

Eren put on a white shirt and gray sweatpants while Armin put on a black shirt and workout shorts. They didn't care too much that they changed in the same room, they'd basically grown up together, were both boys, and honestly just didn't care. Well, at least that's what they pretended. They both definitely DID care, taking slight glances at each other without them noticing, looking at their abs and 'stuff''. Dumb boys. Won't even tell each other the truth. (AUTHOR'S NOTE: 🙄)

When they finished, they went downstairs, put on their shoes, and went outside into the car. "McDonald's, you say?" Armin asked. "Yep!" Armin loved the idiot's obsession over the kid's meals they would always order when they were younger. Sure enough, when they got to the restaurant, Eren ordered the same kids meal. Armin just got a hamburger and some fries. "So," Armin started. "How about in the morning we go shopping, then in the afternoon we go to the arcade?" "There's one around here?" Eren asked. "Yeah, it's actually pretty new! It's very nice though." "Sounds fun!"

They were about to leave when a lady in her 20's with long blonde hair passed by and stopped them. She handed then a couple of cookies and said nothing. She left and they stood looking at each other for a second wondering what that was about. "Uhm... Ok then." Armin looked at the wrapper the cookie was in and flipped it over to look at the back and gasped. "Uh, Eren-" he showed it to Eren. Written on the back of it was written 'gay'. Eren laughed. "Do they really think we're gay?" "I guess so..." They chuckled and left the building.
