ASSIMILATE

drives me

You didn't answer since you were driving and decided when you got back to the dorms you would call him back. You clearly forgot about your terrible memory because you walked right back into your dorm room and ended up falling asleep without even calling him back.

Mikasa fell asleep on the couch with her hand in a bowl of popcorn and you were strangely exhausted. You had later classes the following morning so you slept until the afternoon where you were rudely woken up by the sound of arguing from the living room.

"Armin I just woke up...I don't know if she's-...oh. There she is," Mikasa and Armin both turned their head to look at you as you rubbed your eye while walking out of your bedroom in plaid pajama pants, a tank top, and bunny slippers.

"What's up?"

"I thought something was wrong. You didn't answer yesterday or reply...so I'm assuming you were just busy with Eren?"  Armin asked with a slight attitude in his tone.

"No, I just don't talk on the phone while driving and I was tired. And what if I was with Eren? What's wrong with that?"

"I already told you why. He makes really bad choices and very obviously takes it too far,"

"Takes it too far as in???"

"He slept with the girl I liked in high school y/n?? Not to mention he's said countless rude shit to you! All of a sudden he takes you home from a party and you forget that?" Armin expressed angrily while you approached him as he stood next to the couch.

"He says he didn't know you liked her! How is that his fault then?"

"Wouldn't that be perfectly convenient for him to say y/n? It makes him look like the good guy and I just end up looking like a liar. He knew." Armin snapped at you.

"How do you know he knew?!"

"He was my best friend! Why wouldn't he know?! You're acting like he hasn't shown you already how shitty of a person he is,"

"Guys-" Mikasa mumbled.

"Stop pointing fingers! Who am I supposed to believe when the both of you are telling me different things?!" You shouted back.

"You're supposed to believe the person who isn't friends with the guy who fucked your best friend or the guy who isn't using his sick mother as an excuse to be rude to people," Armin stated as you crossed your arms over your chest while looking at him.

You glanced at Mikasa and saw she was staring at your dorm door that was wide open because Armin never closed it behind him.

Eren.

He was standing there with a book in his hand and very obviously he listened to the entire argument. You saw him standing there and your eyes fell wide as Eren started walking back down the hall after what Armin said.

"What the fuck Armin?!" You quickly turned and grabbed your jacket off the couch, you struggled to put it on as you tried to chase after Eren through the front door.

You were worried, not about what you said but how something like that must've felt to Eren coming from his once best friend.

You saw Eren walk out the door but you tried to catch him before he turned the corner.

"Eren!" You successfully pulled your jacket all the way on and he was right by the bush at the end of the building.

He turned around suddenly and faced you with a straight face.

"Here's your book. I forgot to give you this one," he turned around and placed the book in your hands just before turning the corner at the building.
