Let's Meet Again, For the First Time (Eren x OC)

57

"How's everything with Armin?", I asked Bec as I left my car, "Absolutely amazing- I honestly think he's the one for me, he puts up with all my crazy shit- and you know how crazy I get", she sighed deeply. I chuckled, "Oh yeah", "He always knows how to calm me down when I get angry too", I could hear how happy she was through her voice.

"I just-...really love him", I could tell she was smiling, "I'm happy for you Bec, really happy", I smiled. "I gotta get going but I'll call you later?", "Sounds good, love you", "Love you too".

"How'd it go?", I asked as Eren left his old place of work and my current one, "After 10 minuets of groveling Hange gave in", he said with a proud smile. "That's great", "She's giving me the night shifts, so we won't work together", he said in a more annoyed tone. "Don't worry, I'll come and visit you", I winked, "You better".

I went through the mailbox, there were countless letters from different record labels, my eyes grew wider and wider as more and more passed. I rushed upstairs to Eren.

"Eren have you seen these? There's like 7 different letters from record labels", I said franticly, "Yeah", he acted as if it meant nothing. "The fuck do you mean 'yeah', this is a huge deal!", I raised my voice excitedly.

"It's probably too late now anyways, life happened and-....none of that shit mattered to me", he shook it off. "Well life is going to happen Eren", I stood in front of him to get his full attention.

"You can't just put everything on pause when something goes wrong, you can't just run away from the real world when shit happens. You aren't going to go anywhere if you drop everything because of a minor inconvenience", I rambled.

"Minor inconvenience?!", he raised his tone slightly, his eyes widening, "Your dad got cancer for fucks sake! And I almost lost you again!! That is not a minor inconvenience!!", I sighed deeply. "You need to keep moving forward because shit happens and you can't stop every time it does, time doesn't wait for you Eren".

"Why do you even care so much, you hate all the attention that shit brings us!", I shook my head, the rage inside me growing at an alarming rate. "YOU NEED A FUTURE!!!", I screamed as I felt mine slipping from my hands.

He furrowed his brows in confusion, "What's all this coming from??", he looked me up and down, his voice growing more concerned. "I just- I don't want you to have any regrets, okay?", my tone more calm. "Regrets?", he shook his head and rushed to me, his hands holding the sides of my face.

"I don't have a single regret in my life", he said with full intent, "Not a single one", his thumb grazed the side of my cheek. "You're my future Spencer Bradley", his words stung my heart.

"But what if I'm not always here?", my voice cracked slightly, "Then my future will be yours, every thought I posses will belong to you, every smile I have will be in the memory of you, every sunrise will be yours and every sunset will be ours".

"If you're gone I'll still look for you, I'll drive", he started to smile, "Where will you drive to?", "The stars if I have to".

Tears began to grow in my eyes.

"I don't want to think about a future without you, but I have thought about it. And I know that I wont ever stop loving you. If you were to leave, or travel to some other distant universe...if the stars were to take you...", he stopped for a moment.

"I will still be here, waiting for you. I'll drive to the next galaxy if I have to. I'll drive across all the oceans on the earth. I'll run past all the stars in the universe. I'll do whatever it takes to find you again. Even if I only find pieces of you".

"Do you know, for you I'd bleed myself dry?", tears fell from my eyes from his powerful words. "Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive", he reassured me without even knowing it, "Promise?", I asked, "I promise".
