Blood & Honey | Eren Yeager x Reader

7. Steady

The next morning you woke up to Eren missing from your bed. You rolled over, frowning at the cold spot in the sheets where he should be. After squinting at your Instagram feed for a bit to wake up you climbed out of bed, pulling one of Eren's big sweatshirts over you before padding out to the kitchen.

The smell of bacon filled your nose and you couldn't help but smile when you saw Jean setting up the entire table with breakfast. He made french toast, eggs, bacon and homefries. When he saw you walk in he smiled down at you.

"Good morning, roommate."

You said good morning through a yawn as you rolled your eyes at his comment and pulled a container of fruit from the fridge, pouring some into a bowl and adding it to the platters on the table before taking a seat.

"Where's Eren?"

"He went for a run, he should be back any minute."

You nodded and almost simultaneously, the front door swung open and you both looked over.

Eren was wearing a sweatshirt and joggers, his hood up over his messily tied back hair. He kicked the door shut behind him and walked over to you sitting at the table with a smile.

"Hi, how'd you sleep?" He asked you.

"Like a rock. How was your run?" You asked him in return.

"Mm, pretty good. I think I'm ready for Friday night." He said calmly.

You smiled big, putting your hand on Eren's as he sat down.

"That's great!" Your voice was excited.

He nodded and continued to explain his game plan for the fight on Friday and that his opponent seemed like a weak match.

"What was his name again?" Jean asked, his mouth full of hash browns.

"Porco, I think. Porco Galliard." Eren said plainly.

You were worried that being with Jean would be awkward after what you three did last night, but you were glad things seemed normal. He and Eren almost seemed more relaxed around each other, and for that you were thankful.

After breakfast you quickly showered, braiding your hair into a messy plait and getting dressed in some leggings and a crewneck. You grabbed a small box from your nightstand and found Eren playing a game on his phone in bed.

"Hey, I got you something.." You said shyly.

You handed him the box and smiled as he opened it, pulling out the small plastic case with a black mouth guard in it. He turned it over to see the word "DEATH" printed in bold white letters on the front. You knew he was talking about getting a cool guard for the fight since so many fighters had fancy ones with phrases or silly things like vampire teeth on them. It was silly to you, but you knew it meant a lot to him.

"Y/n, this is sick! Thank you so much." He exclaimed as he pulled you on top of him and gave you a tight hug, kissing your lips softly with a grin pressed against them.

Laughing, you rolled off of him and watched him continue to play his game on his phone as you scrolled through Twitter.

You both spent the day in bed watching tv and helped Eren prep his meals for the week, knowing he was going to be a little on edge and hangry since he had to cut his weight for the fight.

You were chewing on your lip as you put the prepped meals in the fridge while Eren showered, when Jean placed his hand on your shoulder.

"Don't be nervous for him. He's a beast, and a little psychotic. I don't think anyone could beat him." Jean reassured you.
