A Blooming Love Story (Erehisu)

Chapter 5

Somewhere in the lower levels of the library (where talking is acceptable).

Jean snaps his fingers. "Hey, hey, earth to Eren. Snap out of it."

Eren: "What?"

Jean: "I've been trying to get your attention. That's what. Why are you so distracted on your phone?"

Armin: "It's Historia, isn't it?"

Reiner smirks. "I know it is. I've been seeing him on his phone nonstop throughout the whole weekend. Kinda was a buzzkill during our guys' night."

Eren: "It wasn't bad."

Reiner: "You excused yourself and then went on to talk to her on the phone for an hour on guys' night. What happened to 'bros before hoes?"

"Shut up."

"Easy, it was just a joke but she does have you whipped. I see a potential base being reached soon."

Jean: "Eren already asked Historia to be his girlfriend."

Eren: "Why are you blabbering horse-face Jean! How do you even know?"

Jean: "If you're trying to keep it a secret, maybe try and not leaving your phone unattended with a picture of her and her name labeled as 'Queen of my ❤️'

Reiner: "You're kidding! Eren, slow down. You can't skip the dating phase!"

Eren: "I didn't skip it."

Armin: "I'm with Jean and Reiner on this. Don't you think you guys are moving too fast?"

Reiner: "You have to wait at least two months before defining the relationship. It's too early, you're making a rookie mistake here. Now she's gonna start expecting you to do x,y, and z."

Eren: "Stop being so concerned over my love life and get your own."

Reiner: "Everyone wants to take a shot at me. Just so you know, I get all the pussy I can get already."

Jean: "Ha! You're still gonna keep up with that lie?"

Reiner: "Asshole."

Eren: "I gotta go."

Reiner: "I was joking, Eren. Come on! We have that club session to go to."

Eren: "I told Historia I was gonna meet up with her before it started."

Jean: "Ohhh I see. Eren is too good for us."

Armin: "He's in a relationship now, things change."

Reiner: "Young love."

Eren leaves the library and walks to the dorms' courtyard. He sees Historia on a picnic blanket out in the courtyard and pounces at her. He peppers her with kisses while she laughs and grabs his face for them to share a kiss.

Eren looks at Historia's notebook. "Homework?"

"Yeah, for this writing class. Ugh. Is it bad that I'm already regretting college?"

"You're better than me at it."

"Hmm possibly."

Eren goes to cuddle Historia from behind.

Historia: "I told you, we should be discreet."

"So Historia doesn't want to be cuddled by her boyfriend."

"I didn't say that, just not in public. We should take things slow."

"That idea went out the window on our first date." He pushes Historia's laptop off her lap and places his head there. She bops his nose and then kisses it.
