Silent Call

Hot Water

"Whew. We're finally home" Nero said calmly with a hint of joy behind his words as he stared out his window at the small home he and Kyrie had built for themselves with their own two hands after the Fortuna Incident. Of course it was also a home for Julio, Kyle and Carlos now but they didn't mind sharing a room and it was a surprise to both him and Kyrie when they were told that they preferred to stick together. Sure it meant they wouldn't have much space because of the three beds taking up most of the room but to them it was better then anything they could have asked for.

It seemed Nico also shared the same feelings as him of finally being home, indicated by the sharp left turn into the garage, slamming down onto the breaks once they were inside and the vans humming quickly disappeared with the twist of her keys to shut the vehicle down. "Man I can't wait to finally sleep in a normal bed" the Inventor let out a mighty yawn as she tore off her seatbelt and opened the drivers sides door.

"I think sleeping on that shitty excuse for a bed may have altered the location of my spine" the woman stretched her arms and legs out as the rising sun shined down onto her face through the open garage door. Nero spun around his chair and unbuckled his own seatbelt and stood up from his seat and walked over to the half asleep Eren who was trying his hardest to stay awake.

With a light shake on the shoulder, he was rewarded with what was left of Eren's attention. The Jade eyed boy had purple lines underneath his eyes and looked awful in Nero's opinion but he kept it to himself. We have made it. Follow me and I will introduce you to everyone. After that, I will show you where you will be sleeping" Nero turned around and lead Eren out of the side door in the Van. "Is...Is your home a workshop?" He questioned.

Nero chuckled as he watched his new acquaintance look around the Garage. "Nope. This is just a Garage. A place where people park their vehicles indoors to protect them from harsh weather conditions or even just to modify them" Nero explained. "Workout equipment is all in here as well so if you wanna get into shape. Don't hesitate to come here" Nero explained as he walked past the equipment and towards the entrance into the house with Eren quickening his walking pace to catch up.

Hopping up two steps, Nero raised his hand to the doorknob, twisted and pushed the door forwards. There he was greeted with a shoe rack that had neatly organized pairs of shoes filling it with a nearly empty coat hanger just above it. "Just take your shoes off here. Kyrie is a bit of a...how should I put it?" Nero scratched the back of his head. Nero looked around before he leaned in and whispered into Eren's ear.

"Clean freak"

Eren in that moment seemed to understand why Nero seemed to be so hesitant. The look Captain Levi first gave him on his first day under his and the original Squad Levi's watch, he had tracked mud all throughout the Old Scout Headquarters and received the most Terrifying punishment for it. Being given a look of great disappointment. He quickly took his shoes off and placed them neatly beside Nero's boots before following slightly behind Nero as they walked through a small Hallway which contained two square machines with the large circle on the front with a window.

"Nero!" A three voices called out before being followed by a more then one pair of feet quickly coming towards them. Eren could only watch as Nero was ambushed by three children who trapped the man in a giant hug.

"Where have you been!?"

"You missed out on the school book fair!"

"Tell Kyrie to stop giving me broccoli for dinner!"

"Why were you gone for so long!?"

"Please tell Kyrie not to make me do more chores!"

"Wanna come with me to the skate park later?"
