Familiar Olive eyes, lids hung low with lashes dusting on tanned skin as he stared you down. Eren had leaned against the bar, elbow sat on the blacktop, head resting in his hand, letting himself get into a comfortable position to signal that he was not taking his eyes off you. He didn't seem to hide it anymore, fully open to watching you like you were his favorite movie. You thought you'd be used to it after the many years of noticing his eyes linger on you; even in a room full of people, he was always watching you. It still made you feel on fire like lasers were burning you. It made you nervous to move or speak, afraid you'd make a mistake for his little show. Even when you looked up at Eren, he only stared back, unphased that you caught him. Instead, he captured your gaze like a prisoner cast under a spell with his dark pupils looking into yours, like he could read your thoughts like a book.
Mikasa was sitting next to him, just in the middle of the two boys. She seemed uncomfortable when she noticed his eyes locked onto you. She had said something to him; you could not read her lips as she spoke few words to the man. Eren only seemed to mumble something in response, and Mikasa was changing her attention to Armin, again his eyes not letting up from you. You had been staring back at Eren for so long that you didn't realize how silent you were with Colt on your date. Colt's eyes followed where yours wondered and looked up to see Eren staring back at you. It irritated him how much Jaeger thought he controlled your life and who you dated. If Colt knew anything, then he knows those are the eyes of a man in love.
At that moment, Eren switched his gaze from you to Colt. The both of them stared daggers into each other's eyes. It was a brief interaction that didn't go unnoticed by you. The tension between the two seemed to rise the longer they stared; you could've sworn you saw knives shot between their eyes at each other. Colt sighs and lets Eren win the small staring contest to return his attention to you.
"Wanna just get out of here?" Colt asks with hope, wishing you would say yes and want to be alone with him. He wanted you all to himself, and it seemed like he had competition with a man you had no clue still had feelings for you, your best friend. You shake your head at his question with a small smile.
"They won't bother us." You smile with solace, but Colt seems skeptical of your answer. His inner monologue warns him that something will go wrong tonight. He glanced back up at Eren again, hoping his eyes weren't on you. Thankfully to Colt, Eren was only chatting with Mikasa, who sat beside him, no longer acknowledging your presence. You notice his hazel eyes that keep glancing over at Eren, and you sigh, taking his hand in yours and giving it a light squeeze to divert his attention back to you.
