"Eren."

"Eren, come on you need to wake up. It's getting late."
Eren fluttered his eyes slowly as he heard a familiar voice called his name.
"Oh, Mikasa. It's you."
"We have to get going Eren, the day has been takin up because you slept entirely too long." Mikasa said.
Eren ignored her. he was used to her bickering but he didn't feel like putting up with it today.
"Can we just go.." He pleaded.
"I don't need you lecturing me ALL the time, Mikasa." He added.
Mikasa looked hurt but just grabbed his arm and walked home.
On the way Eren seen his best friend since childhood, Armin.
But when he saw him he seen taller, mean looking teenagers probably a little older than him slapping and punching him.

☆

His best friend was trying to stand up but they kept knocking him down.
Eren quickly ran to his rescue but Mikasa grabbed him again.
"Eren, let's go." She groaned. He gave her a hateful look then ran from her grip.
"Hey, leave Armin alone you basterds!" He screamed.
"E-Eren.." Armin sighed his breaths happily.
Eren won the fight with a few punches here and there. But still managed.
"Armin, are you alright?" Eren hugged his bud.
"Y-yes I am fine, but look you have cuts on your face Eren, won't your Mikasa get upset that your fighting again?" Armin struggled to say.
"Don't worry about me, your in more damage than I am." Eren came back.
Mikasa then turned the corner.
"How's Armin?" She said while in action.
There was a pause from Eren. So Armin spoke "I am fine, thank you for your concern." With a smile.
"Look at you Eren, I told you to avoid fights!"
"Gest back to the kitchen, Mikasa." Eren groaned
Armin sensed that they were arguing again so decided to not ask about it.
"Hey Armin.. is it fine if I walk with you home?" Eren asked
Armin smiled "I'd like that very much Eren." as he said.

When they reached his friends house, Armin asked if he wanted anything to eat or drink.
"I don't think I have time to do that, I better get going before Mikasa goes off on me." he said sadly.
As Eren turned around and said goodbye, he quickly felt arms been thrown around his torso. then to see Armin nestling his head into his back.
"Thank you Eren.. I probably wouldn't be here if I didn't have an amazing friend like you around.." Armin added with a sigh.
Eren looked down and smiled.
"I'm so glad to hear that.."

As Eren made his way back to the camp. He heard someone he despised.
"Yo Jeager, how's my babe Mikasa?"
Eren was already annoyed with her and didn't need horse face Jean to be apart either.
"As you can see I'm in a hurry, so go bug someone else with your dumb concerns." Eren said speeding up.
Jean was left awkwardly rejected as Connie came up.
"What's his problem?" Connie said.
Eren finally made it to the camp seeing everyone doing the basic Titan-fighting training. He wasn't in the mood to do that, surprisingly. Too many things going through his mind.
He sat down in his bed and rested his body. He then lifted his arm in the air, hand out to the free space in his room. "What if...I ....." Eren began then quickly passed out.
