fake love [DISCONTINUED] | eren x reader (s. asian)

8

the two of you stood against the railing for what seemed like eternity before the music stopped and you watched your mom and chandni take the mic. "hello everyone, thank you for coming to y/n and eren's engagement! we're thankful for all of you to celebrate their love with us. now we're going to call them so we can bring the rings and start partying!" your mom said. that was your cue to go downstairs.

you and eren stood next to each other at the top of the stairs, arms linked. old bollywood songs played as the two of you walked downstairs and sat on the magical sofa. you bared the bitterest smile at eren and he did the same. the photographer stood in front of you and eren placed his hand on top of yours as you guys smiled into the camera.

everyone cheered and clapped as the two of you sat there like dolls, smiling and waving at everyone. you saw your group of friends sitting on the left side and eren's group of friends sitting on the right. both groups smiled at you as you turned to them and you gave them a small thumbs up in response.

your mom and chandni walked up to you and eren and handed you the mic. you were confused since you didn't have anything prepared to say, but eren took the mic from you.

"thanks for coming, everyone," eren spoke into the mic. "we're grateful for all of you and we're beyond happy to share our love with you guys," he smiled and passed the mic to you. you blinked a few times, trying to prepare words.

"just like eren said, thanks for coming, we love you all," you smiled and quickly handed him back the mic. he frowned ever so slightly that no one would notice, but you did.

"should we give the rings now?" your mom whispered to you. your eyes widened as you remembered the rings. you didn't pick them out but eren did. you slightly frowned at eren as he smiled and nodded, allowing your mom to take a box out of chandni's hands.

your mom gave the box to eren and he opened it towards you, revealing a pair of golden rings. you gasped at the small emeralds engraved in one of the rings. eren took it out and was about to take your hand, but you took the ring out of his hand and put it on yourself, making eren's hand freeze in place for a second.

letting eren put the ring on you meant that he would be bound to you forever, and that was not what you wanted.

eren sighed and took his own golden ring that was engraved in [your eye color] stones and put it on his ring finger. a few seconds passed and everyone clapped and cheered as you and eren smiled at them.

after a while, historia pulled you out of the chair and onto the dance floor. you, ymir, and historia danced to the bollywood songs that blasted out of the large speakers. you waited for your favorite song to play and coincidentally, it did. "oh. my. god. this is my song, bitches!"

as "tujhe dekha to" played, you watched as ymir sang along to it, pointing to historia the whole time. even if historia didn't understand the lyrics, she knew what ymir meant. you smiled as ymir kissed historia at the end of the song, but your heart hurt in fear that you'd never be able to have that feeling of being happily in love.

as historia and ymir danced with each other, you found your way to an empty table in the back of the room. nobody seemed to notice you were gone from the crowd even if it was your engagement.

"wanna dance, meri jaan?" a voice called out from behind you. you turned around to find eren holding out his hand with a small smile. you sighed and turned back around, completely ignoring him. "what's your issue?" he scoffed as he grabbed a seat next to you.

"you," you frowned. "go dance with your other friends," you gestured to armin and mikasa on the dance floor.

"but you're my fiancé. i should be dancing with you,"

"let's be honest. you're just doing this so your mom can be happy," you turned to face him.

"of course i am. i already told you, she's been wanting this forever,"

"i know, i've heard all about it," you sighed. "you don't have to pretend when it's just us though,"

"i..." he frowned a little. "i guess you're right. i guess i'll leave you to yourself then," he pursed his lips together and soon he was lost into the crowd.

this engagement wasn't fun at all.

after a while, the food was ready and everyone gathered into a line to get their food. you smiled at the delicious aromas of the curries and the desserts. you stood in line next to mikasa and she started telling you about how beautiful the venue was. "thank you," you replied. "fun fact, eren picked it all out," you chuckled.

"you..." she started to say. she looked around her and leaned in closer to you. "you don't really love him, do you?" you gasped slightly and frowned. mikasa was someone you could trust. you slowly shook your head and she took your hand.

"it's okay," she nodded. "he is hard to deal with, i won't lie to you. and i know this whole arranged thing really makes it harder. you can talk to me about it any time. you have my number," she picked up two plates and handed one to you.

"thanks, mikasa. he is tough, but i hope i can manage," you smiled and put your favorite foods on your plate.

after getting almost every single food item on your plate, you headed towards a table with ymir and historia, but your mom stopped you. "honey, you should be sitting with eren right now. you can talk to your friends later, hm?" she held your arm and pointed you in eren's direction. he was being dragged by his own mother towards another table in the front. 

you grimaced as you sat next to eren. without even talking to him, you started to eat. you didn't realize how hungry you were until you took the first bite. you sighed as you started devouring your food and all eren could do was watch with his eyes wide. "you should be eating like a girl," he muttered and your hand stopped in mid air.

"are you joking?" your eyes narrowed.

"no," he shook his head. "there's curry all over your hands and you're eating like you've been starved for days,"

"i'm just fucking hungry, you moron. i'm eating like a normal person. how am i supposed to eat this curry then? with a spoon? try eating your naan and paneer with a fucking fork and a knife, princess," you rolled your eyes and pushed the utensils toward him. 

"why are you so moody? i told you to not ruin this," eren frowned.

"oh my god, i am done with you," you slightly slammed the table and left your food with eren. 

the rest of the night was a blur. between trying your best not to cry and making sure you talked to every guest there, your heart was breaking. you regretted ever thinking that eren would be bearable. he wasn't and he never would be. and he was going to be your husband.
