Fernanda shyly knocked at your door as you took a deep sigh, barely wanting to open it for her. She probably smelled like Mikasa... and the thought of the smell made your stomach hurt...smells, in general, threw you off for the past week. Think about it, y/n, you tried to rationalize within yourself. Why did it bother you? It wasn't a matter of her being with Mikasa, not to mention the fact that a threesome almost ensued between you, her, and Eren. Fernanda withheld the truth. You trusted her,  and she lied to you. From the start of it all. Now you were being forced to finish a project with her, presenting as if she hadn't lied to your face.

You shook the thought from your head as you went to open the door. Yes, that was the truth, but there was no way that after the work you'd two had put in,  this would not be the reason your grades faltered. You two rehearsed the presentation a million times. As you open the door, you looked at Fernanda, who was slightly disheveled and guilty. You scoffed scornfully, taking a moment to examine every inch of her from head to toe. "I take it you spent the night at Mikasa's..."

"Yeah...kind of lost track of time.", Fernanda said with a small laugh, before straightening out her shirt. You sighed, dissatisfaction falling into your features. "She could've encouraged you to at least iron your shirt.", you muttered, walking into the kitchen.

Eren stood tall in a grey shirt and your pair of fluffy pajama bottoms, which you knew were yours because they damn near came up to his knees. Fernanda didn't know whether to say hi or avoid Eren, but there was no room for her to decide that because Eren only focused on you. He pressed a small kiss to your lips as you sighed with exasperation, returning it but slowly turning to the side. "You're going to mess up my lipstick baby..."

"Yeah, yeah I know. Look, You'll do great. Both of you. I don't care if you hate each other. You two are smart, and you'll do well, even if you never speak again.", Eren spoke, looking between you and Fernanda before he walked back to your room, his phone ringing at his hip when he left. He was right. You hated when he was. Fernanda tried to speak. "Look y/n, I know you're upset with me but-"

"No, no buts, Fernanda. I'm just...surprised, is all. Scratch that, I'm not surprised, no. I'm just really fucking disappointed", you shaking your head as you went to the living room, grabbing your page and extra materials. Fernanda pulled the presentation off of your practice board, as you turned to her, backpack in hand. "After you see how everyone is lying to me, you do the same? I would say it hurts, but we're so close to walking the stage, I don't give a damn. Let's just get this done, okay?" You gave her a soulless smile, walking out towards the front as Fernanda carried the tangibles in her hand. There was a final hour-long lecture before then. Hopefully, you could still remember everything afterward.

Eren listened to the door close, and then left the room and pressed his head up to the door, hearing the elevator close as well, signifying that you made your exit.  Eren was preparing for his transition from college as well, unbeknownst to you, he'd packed up his dorm items already, and was preparing to sign the lease on an apartment in Marley, where the two of you would be able to start your lives together. It was a place to move from, of course, but it was a comfortable rendezvous point, and safe from all the major highways and street lights in Marley, in case some less-than-legal activity were to occur. Eren was waiting on a call from the leasing agent confirming that he was still interested in the property, but when the phone finally rang, it wasn't the leasing agent, it was BigShot. "We need to talk, Yeager."
