➸ YOU NERVOUSLY WALK UP THE STAIRS WITH MIKASA —

while holding a bottle of fancy liquor that Levi sent over to congratulate Eren on his new place. You didn't know whether to tell Mikasa about you and Eren to to forget it like he said, you choose the latter.

"Welcome in!" Armin opens the door with a smile and you hug him before taking a look around the place. The apartment was fancy and no doubt costed a pretty penny. It was furnished simple and was very clean.

Eren walks into the living space while tying his hair up and Mikasa hugs him, "Congratulations, you've really grown." 

You walk next to her and offer the bottle, "From Levi." you smile, "It's a nice place Eren.."

You two make eye contact while Armin shows Mikasa off how he already had plates and cutlery. Eren's eyes were hard to read.. you could tell he wanted to say something and maybe you wanted him to, no matter what it was.

In the short amount of time since ending things you found yourself thinking of Eren. He looks down at the bottle and then back at you.

"Thanks." he says simply and sets it down on the coffee table, "How about a tour?" he says and you all follow him.

In his bedroom there was a large bed and two nightstands on either side while the colors were neutral it gave off a mature look. Your eyes widen when he shows the attached ensuite, large open shower with only one large wall of glass keeping the water contained.

Armin looks into a target bag on the counter, "Dude why do you have pads, tampons and an extra toothbrush?"

You kind of wanted to know why also and Mikasa takes a look for herself, "Yeah.. why?"

Eren shrugs and snatches the bag to toss under the sink, "You never know.." he decides to say and makes brief eye contact with you, "Come on lets drink." he walks out.

Some more people come to Eren's apartment and you wanted nothing more than to leave. Eren tosses a ball and makes it into the red cup, "Drink up water boy!" he laughs a points at Armin who was about four shots and one blunt in.

Mikasa shakes her head, "Ready to go?" she asks and you nod.

"Yeah, I need to get my jacket from Eren's bedroom." you stand up and feel how drunk you really were.

Out of nervousness you had drunken more than intend and it was now evident. You slowly open the door and see your jacket on the bed. Eren follows and leans against the door, watching the way you put it on and let out a sigh.

"Something wrong?" he asks and couldn't help but smile when you jumped at his voice.

You shake your head, "I don't think so."

Eren feels an arm snake around his waist and lips hover over his ear, "How about we christen your bedroom?"

"Clara.." Eren trails off and you watch the girl step out from behind and hug him tightly. "I didn't know you were coming." he lightly pushes her to the side.

"Oh we both are tonight—"

You cringe at her flirty words and look down at the floor to avoid any eye contact. "Some things are better left unsaid." Eren was quick to cut her off and you walk towards the door.

Clara seems to now notice you and smiles, "I'm sorry babe, didn't see you there! You just.. blended right in." she hums and twirls the ends of her hair in attempts to look more cute.

You look up at her, "It's fine!" you smile, "I remember you! I think Eren called you a cute little nickname, butterface—"

"All right!" Eren tries not to laugh, "Let's get back out there." he says before Clara splashes him in the face with the water in her cup and leaves in a hurry. "Or not." he mumbles while wiping his face.

Your hand covers your mouth in shock, "Eren—"

"Please, go." he says.

You frown now, "Why are you mad at me? I didn't throw the drink."

"No y/n, I'm not mad at you." he sighs, "I'm sure it's what I deserve for having meaningless sex with her." Eren's tone was bored and he walks further into the bedroom while taking off his shirt.

"Close the door on your way—"

The door is shut before he could even finish his sentence and you look for Mikasa who was taking another shot with Armin, cheering loudly and stumbling into his arms.

"Shit." you whisper, no one could drive home now.

You didn't want to call Levi because he was in the town over and would frown upon you and Mikasa for being irresponsible although he was the one to supply the bottle.

"y/n!" you feel the cushion dip when a body sits on it.

"Jean." you sigh out, as if this couldn't be any worse. "What are you even doing here?" you question.

"Oh y'know some friends." he shrugs, "You look more sad than usual."

"I'm not sad." you say, "Especially not because of you." your words slur a bit and Jean raises his hands in surrender.

"I'm glad you're not, I'm not worth the tears." he leans back and traces the rim of the cup with his fingers, "Definitely not worth your tears."

"Can't disagree there.."

"So why are you alone?" he asks while you see Eren come back out in a new shirt and a goofy smile that only shows when he's high out of his mind.

You force your eyes to meet Jeans, "I was waiting for Mikasa to go home but she's in no position to go anywhere.." you point to her asleep across Armin's lap while he's casually taking to his friends and strokes her hair to keep her calm.

Jean laughs, "Come on, I'll take you home."

You shake your head, "No thanks."

"I haven't been drinking." he raises his cup, "Some type of kombucha juice.." he swirls it around as if he wasn't sure either. "But I am more than capable to drive and I'll drop you off without saying a single word."

"You won't talk the whole time?" you didn't believe it.

He nods and zips his lips.

Your eyes focus on Eren behind him, laughing as a he pours another girl a drink. You were the one who broke it off with him so why did you feel so pathetic?

"Fine, no words out of those lips or I'll jump out of the car."
