10. the truth

The remainder of your weekend was spent at Eren's house. He had let you borrow various sets of clothes from him because you couldn't stand the thought of going back to Jean's apartment just yet. You felt kind of bad since he'd be doing extra laundry after you left but he didn't mind at all because of how cute you looked.

Being with Eren for the whole weekend made all your problems disappear, well it felt like that at least. Your problems were still there waiting for you of course but he made them less memorable.

Though whenever he left your side for even just a second that's when the thoughts came flooding back to your mind. Without the distraction you had time to thoroughly look through all of Jean's messages and voicemails.

Holding back the tears was hard but you somehow managed. His desperation made your heart ache. You never gave him the chance to explain himself. You've been wanting to talk to him but you weren't sure if it was right since you were already getting closer to someone new. You needed closure.

Eren was no different than you though. The two of you shared laughs and meaningful conversations but when all of that died down into silence he would look so sad. You wanted to know why but you never asked because he'd probably brush it off.

At this point you were just leeching off of each other's comfort.

You saw Eren as more than that though but you were scared to express it. One reason being you don't want to get hurt again, the other being you had no idea how he felt towards you.

The two of you were both hiding something from each other, the thing he was hiding being much more damaging though. But at the moment you both were having fun and finding comfort in each other so why not let fate play this one out on its own?

The following Monday you wake up earlier than usual so you can get a change of clothes from Jean's apartment before going to class. If you got there in the right time frame you could avoid him since he usually takes an early morning run.

Peeling Eren's arm off you, you frown from the loss of touch and slowly get up from the bed. Eren hadn't initiated sex ever since the first time and neither did you. Rarely any kisses either. All he provided was a fellow feeling and warm cuddles, you were more than okay with that.

A loud groan is ripped from Eren's throat as he notices your presence suddenly disappearing.

"Where are you going?" He asks, his voice deep and groggy from just waking up.

His morning voice catches you at the door and sends chills up your spine.

"I have class." You simply say, giving him a small pout.

He hums lowly at your response and taps your side of the bed with his slim fingers, looking at you with eyes that you weren't sure if they were inviting or intimidating.

"Let's skip. I don't want you to leave yet." He replies, almost in a demanding way.

Scoffing lightly at his request, you make your way back to the bed, his green eyes following you every step of the way.

"You're a bad influence you know." You roll your eyes and plop back down beside him.

"I'm literally a drug dealer. Did you expect any different?" He pauses with a dry chuckle before pulling you into an embrace.

"Plus I'd be sad if you left. You'd be sad leaving me, no?" He finishes, resting his chin on the top of your head.

"Hmm. Maybe just a little bit." You admit, voice a bit muffled due to your face being buried in his chest.

Sleep takes over your bodies for a couple of more hours until a constant buzzing coming from Eren's phone interrupts. You roll over back to "your" side of the bed so he can reach his phone with ease.
