50 Shades of Ereri

Tea Break

How does it feel for the man you love to not return the feelings? Shitty, that's for sure. In all honesty, I don't even know if he ever really loved a person. And not that we're good friends kind of love, but someone you'd do any and everything to make them smile. That they hold a special place in your heart that no one can replace.

That's the type of love that I have towards Heichou. I know. Silly of me, right? What would a thirty something year old captain want to do with a fifteen you old subordinate who's also a titan shifter. But here I am, not giving a damn about ages or rankings and falling helplessly in love with him.

Humanity's Strongest and Last Hope going out? That'd be quite the tale. But nonetheless, I'm not giving up.

I walked toward Heichou and gave him his daily tea. "H-here. Your tea, sir."

"Thanks," he said, as he held the cup in a way which I'll never understand.

He was sitting at the end of the rectangular table, so I sat on the longer half closest to him. I found myself unconsciously staring at him. He noticed, but then I immediately looked away.

He set his cup down. "Is there something wrong?"

"N-no sir," I said, looking down.

"You know, I've been catching you starring at me a lot."

Shit, I can feel myself blushing. "Really?"

"I wonder. You always have this fearless vibe, but when you're around me you seem like a kid afraid of his own shadow. Why is that?"

"Um, well...their my peers and friends. You're my captain and have the ability to kill me, so..." Crap, I said the first this that popped into my head. And that's not even the whole truth.

"Is that so?"

I nodded.

"Say, Eren. Why are you red?"

I shot my head up and looked at him. "I-I'm not red."

"Oh? So what's the real reason behind your behavior?"

What's with all the questions? I can't say it's because I like him too. "W-well, I just....think of you differently."

"Is that so?"

I looked closely at his face to see a small smirk. Is he getting entertainment out of this? "Uh, could we just drop this conversation please?"

"Okay. So, have you ever tried this tea?"

Again with the damn questions. "No."

"Really? Petra makes the best tea."

Oh yeah. I'd completely forgot that Petra has feelings for Heichou. "Oh. Then I guess I should try some."

"Do you want to try some now?"

"I guess. I'll go see if there's any left," I said as I got up. But before I could even stand upright, I was grabbed by him.

"Why don't you try it like this," he said pulling me down.

"Wha-" Before I could even finish the word, Heichou pulled me into a kiss. It'd caught me completely by surprise. But not as much as when he slid his tongue over my bottom lip, making me gasp. A perfect opportunity for him to slide his tongue into my mouth. He had a green herb taste. The tea maybe? I gave in and let his tongue dance with mine. He's a very good kisser, and it was making my body warm.

He pulled away, his breath a little heavy. "Were you able to taste the tea?"

I felt my face grow even redder. "I-well.....yeah."

"Was it good?"

"It was really good?" Whether that I was talking about the tea or kiss remains a mystery. "But....why?"

"Why not?"

"Be...because I'm a monster"

"Eren, you are a human before you are a titan. However, me and those two friends of yours are the only ones that know it. Everyone is just fearful. When will you realize that?"

I didn't know what to say, so I just stayed silent.

"And also," he said as he got up, "if I was fearful of you, would I do this?" He pulled me down by my shirt and kissed me again. It was more passionate than the last. It meant something.

Not knowing what to do next, I just put my arms around his hips. He pulled away. I opened my eyes and said, "W-what's wrong?"

"Nothing," he said, kissing me once more.
