eren knocked on the door lightly, not wanting to give you a heart attack;
no response.
'i wasn't expecting anything different' he thought as he opened the door slowly.
the sun hit his eyes immediately so he looked away quickly. that's when he saw you. curled up in your bed, hugging your pillow while tears rolled down your rosy cheeks.
he closed the door behind him, left the bags on the floor and approached you. he pushed a strand of hair behind your ear and wiped the tears off your face. you opened your eyes and turned your body to face the boy above you.
"eren? why are you here?" you asked, wiping the remaining tears with the back of your hand.
"once i saw your text, i couldn't leave you like this. so i rushed to the nearest store and bought you some things!" he said, pointing at the bags on the floor.
"you didn't have to! it's nothing really..."
"if it was nothing you wouldn't have been crying" he said, taking a seat next to you on the bed.
you looked at him, eyes bloodshot.
"i can see the pain in your eyes..."
he hugged you, his hand running up and down your back while you sobbed. your head rested on his shoulder, wetting his shirt with your tears. your hand came up to your face, keeping your mouth shut so you wouldn't annoy him. he pulled away, taking your hands in his.
"do you want to talk about it? let it out of your chest?" he asked, rubbing small circles on the back of your palm.
you nodded, taking a deep breath. you started explaining everything that happened, not even letting a small detail out.
"oh also! he said i was pathetic for loving a lie and trusting people easily" you added, leaving him more shocked.
"he what?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
you looked down and started playing with your fingers.
"i guess i deserved it" you said softly.
"no, no, no, no! you deserved nothing of this! how could you know he was like this? i couldn't either! why... why do you say that you deserved this?"
"i just should've been more careful and not just fall in love with him right away! to be honest... i don't want to fall in love ever again!" you said, leaving him wide-eyed.
"what? i don't understand! why do you do that to yourself?"
"what's the point of love if it's not real?" you asked him, tears in the corners of your eyes.
"not everyone is the same! you'll move on eventually! life's changing, y/n!" he said, cupping your face.
he smiled at you, his thumb wiping your tears.
"please don't cry more... i hate seeing you like this! you're really strong, you know that?" he continued, resting his forehead against yours.
"i'll be by your side and help you forget him! the others too! if you're okay with telling them of course!"
you nodded your head and wiped the tears off your face.
"don't you think it's time for you to leave this room and see you parents? they're worried sick about you!" he said, caressing your cheek.
you hesitated but nodded your head, as you leaned into his touch.
"it's not good to stay in here" he said, looking around the full-of-pictures room.
he looked back at you and took your hands in his. he picked up the bags and looked behind him.
"you sure you want to go out? i don't want to pressure you!"
you nodded again, making a small smile appear on his face. he opened the door and walked down the stairs, your hand still in his.
"oh my god, hunny!" your mother said, rushing to your side.
she hugged you, squeezing you tightly.
"mom... can't breathe..." you choked out.
she let go of you instantly, allowing the oxygen to travel in your lungs.
your father thanked eren for bringing you out and for being by your side at this time of your life. you heard a small always coming from eren's mouth, his eyes never leaving your figure.
"okay! time for you to eat! mind if i steal her for a while, mrs ackerman?" eren asked, facing the woman in front of you.
"go on!" she smiled kindly at him.
he took you deeper into the living room and sat you on the couch. he placed the bags in front of you, telling you to pick.
"i'm not hungry!"
"i didn't ask!" he replied, a sweet smile on his face.
he opened your favorite snack and passed it you you.
"your eyes fell on this, first! go on! you can't resist your favorite snack! even if you're not hungry, your stomach has been empty a whole day! that's unhealthy!"
you took a deep breath and started eating slowly, until you stopped and put it away.
"i'm full!" you said, looking at him.
you got fucking scared. the look in his eyes reminded you of mikasa's whenever a chick was flirting with jean.
you gulped, taking back what you pushed away and continued.
you spent half of the day, munching down whatever eren and your parents gave you, til your stomach ached...
