lovers/: c. springer

* ten *

———-
it's been a couple weeks since i've moved and connie and i were learning to deal with long distance, facetiming everyday, daily check ups, tiktoks being sent back and forth, memes being sent through instagram dms.

"so you're about to put on a different wig and you just changed it?" connie said through the phone looking at me, i nodded fixing the wig on my head "mhm, i get tired of wigs at a certain point", "you spend so much money on them tho mama, when are you gonna come visit me?" connie smiled kicking his feet back and forth "i just left springer, literally two weeks ago- you got about a month or so, i gotta settle into college and get my classes and everything."

"but i miss you, a couple weeks is a long time to be honest beautiful- teyla and eren's back to arguing a lot, armin and lai are... armin and lai and then there's me and jean and jean found a girl that he sees occasionally" , i laughed knowing that he was probably extremely lonely "you'll be okay buzzie, whenever they invite you on their dates just facetime me and i'll do whatever they're doin' over here."

he smiled getting up to get ready for class, i watched him prop his phone up to brush his teeth and wash his face and clean his piercings as well "i don't even know what college i'm gonna go to yet, honestly i don't even know if there's many options in michigan", "it's michigan state, my brother went there he said it was pretty decent" connie spoke changing into his clothes.

he had on black cargos, a gray hoodie with his gray bapestas "i really need a haircut" he brushed his grown out buzzcut before putting his hoodie over his head "it looks good grown out though, you look so handsome" , "thank you bebita but bro my barber deadass told me i could come like a couple days ago and then he randomly bailed on me now i look like a fuckin' chicken head yo."

"stopp, you dont look bad" i laughed at him rolling his eyes and turning his bathroom light off "well i'll call you during lunch baby, talk to you later" he blew a kiss at the phone making me catch it and blow it back "have a good day buzzie"

"so how's long distance workin' out for you?" armin walked beside me and eren, i shrugged "it's goin' pretty good actually, we both know what we're doin' at a certain time and communication is pretty good too", "yeah now, you were just bein' a bitch to her" eren laughed scrolling on his phone, i slapped the back of his head.

"alright, but i've changed now and i'm actually gonna go visit her once she gets settled with her college classes- i know its been only 2 weeks but ion know man estoy perdiendo la cabeza sin ella" i groaned stuffing my hands in my pocket, armin looked at me "you got some serious issues dude, she doesnt even know the basics of michigan yet and you're already tryna visit her"

"bro y'all makin' me feel bad about this", "it's not intentional springer, i just say give her some time, maybe in a month or so go visit her" eren spoke sitting down at our lunch table "yeah, lai's been talkin' about visiting her, i've had to stop her multiple times from booking plane tickets" armin ate his food.

"yo, so i shouldn't go ?" , "no, give her space connie- she gotta adjust to her new michigan lifestyle duh" eren rolled his eyes making armin look up at him "was the last part supposed to be shady or something?" , "yeah a little bit"

"connie said somethin' about michigan state, ion know if i wanna go there though it sounds like a school EVERYBODY goes to" i looked at my mama who was cutting up fruit and cheese for us, she shrugged "well it's a public college n/n, just look at more options so we can get you back started on school work and everything"

"i couldn't just stay in new york?", "it wasn't up to me, it was lil man- take it up with levi" i sighed loudly when levi came around the corner drinking a gatorade, me and my mom stared at him "what?", "y/n wants to know why she couldn't stay in new york?", "what's in new york y/n ? connie ? that school ?"

"my life, i was born in new york and then i'm old enough to pay bills, get my own crib, i work for sure" i said to him making him roll his eyes and sit beside me "but you don't have any of those things and at the time we were leaving you probably weren't gonna have a house by then, you can't get an apartment in just two weeks, you weren't gonna have furniture or anything."

"i have friends, i could've stayed wi-", "uhn uhn nobody finna think my child's broke or her parents put her ass on the street" my mom interrupted making levi glare at her, she walked away going into the living room "ion even know why i'm takin' it up with you, i can leave if i want to-"

"how?" levi furrowed his eyebrows making me shrug "i dont know... the bus...", "so you dont have no way to get back home even if i were to let you go back", "but it's not up to you, it's up to me" i looked at him, my mom stepped in taking over for levi "first off, watch how you talk he's still a grown ass man thank you, secondly, y/n youn need to be worryin' bout allat right now. you done left and that's that, you just got here in a few months we can look into gettin' you back in new york but right now can that shit just be out the window"
