He forked around his food, quietly chewing before swallowing some water. He never looked up from his plate.

You watched him for awhile, wondering if you'd done something wrong. You went back and forth on the idea of simply asking him, he wouldn't lie.. right? You cleared your throat, "..You okay, Eren?"

Wide kaitoke colored eyes wandered up to yours, "Hm? Oh— Yeah, why do you ask?" He took his napkin to wipe his mouth before leaning on the table to focus on you.

"Well.... You haven't really said anything the whole walk here from the beach & when you took me to my room to change you just..." you shrugged, "I dunno, you being weird. Was the phone call really that bad?"

His eyes flickered away, he could think of very few worse calls to receive. While he was relieved that you weren't the person he'd been searching for all this time, digging into your past unearthed secrets that he couldn't directly confront without losing you.

But the fact of the matter was... it was somehow scarier to know that you were hiding such a huge secret than to be the woman who killed his boss's best friend.

Because at least if you were, he'd at least knowing something about you— or at least have a start but now he knew nothing & the little he did know was so left field, he didn't know how to take it. He didn't know how to process it. And the more the wheels turned in his mind, the deeper he'd fall into it.

Any normal human being would've gotten upset that Eren killed all those people at the casino, like Armin for example. He would've tried to convince him to turn himself in out of respect for the victims families & told him about himself.

You, on the other hand, weren't mad at all—not about that at least. Why? Was it because you've done something similar before? Would that be why you're runni—

"Eren."

"Huh?" He blinked over to you.

You dropped your shoulders & titled your head.

"What, what happened, d'you say something?"

You lightly rolled your eyes, "You literally just did it again"

"Did what?"

You sucked your teeth, "Okay did I do something to make you upset like what is this right now, what's wrong?"

His eyebrows furrowed, "What? No. No. Of course not."

"Then why are you so distracted, like what's up?"

He tucked his full lips inside his and stared off to the side at the question, thinking of a way to change the subject before popping his view back to you, "Wanna take a shot?"

Your eyelids dropped halfway, "So you're not gonna tell me?"

"Don't be like that, it's just work is doing a lot right now— We're fine alright? Just-just come take a drink with me." He reached out his hand.

You reluctantly took it, cutting your eyes at him. And he stood up and guided you to the kitchen. Lifting you up by your waist and sitting you on the counter.
