"That was too good," Sasha smiles, her plate cleared of any food. For a girl who eats like a full grown burly man, she's quite petite.
"Yeah we can tell." Connie teases her and she retaliates with a flick to his forehead
"We should get going, I have class in a few," you remind sasha and connie "I'll pay for my meal."
"Youre good I got it," Eren says "you guys can go, I'll pay for the table."
"You don't need to do that." you state blankly, I don't need this guy doing me any favors. "Its fine," he says softly, bucking his hip upward to better dig through his baggy black pants to find his wallet. "I have my own money, Eren." you iterated, beginning to grow inpatient.
He stops digging in his pockets for a moment to stare at you, his face blank and his eyes looking dead, then he goes right back to fishing for his cash, ignoring you and handing his card to the waitress
Whatever, free food.
Everyone says their goodbyes to each other and leaves the table, except for Mikasa and Eren.
you leave the cafe with Connie and Sasha, finding it a bit weird the two of them stayed behind.
But it's none of your business.
"You know her, don't you." Mikasa says, more as a statement then a question.
"Hm?" He hums, acting oblivious as he puts down a tip for the waitress on the table.
"Y/n. You know her." She persists.
"What makes you say that?" He finally lifts his head up to look her in the eyes.
"You couldn't keep your eyes off of her, and the shit you were saying and doing. I mean you paid for the entire meal, you've never done that." her eyes narrowed as she looked at him.
"Maybe I just think she's pretty, and we went to the same high school didn't we?"
"If that's all it was you wouldve been on that immediately, and its like you 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 know her. Or at least you did at one point. I just don't understand why you two are lying to me....."
'Why 𝐚𝐦 I lying?' he thought to himself. 'I guess it's just easier pretending I don't know her, I mean it'd make things kind of awkward for her if I told everyone she's the one that got away right? But at the same time I don't wanna be keeping secrets from my best friend.'
He sighs, "you're too smart Mika." he chuckles softly
"Flattery will get you no where with me ren," she fights a smile "and plus it was armin that pointed it all out to me, now tell me what's really going on."
"You're annoying." he spat out like a child.
"You love me." she smiles "now spill." her face drops
"Fine, we....had a thing for a little bit, back in highschool." He finally relents and admits to her, though he isn't really telling the whole truth is he?
She stares at him blankly, "That's it?"
"Fuck do you mean that's it??"
"I mean, that's it?! I thought it'd be something juicer." She says, almost seeming disappointed
"Well I'm sorry my life isn't interesting enough for you." he leans back in his chair.
"Shut up," she rolls her eyes at his sass "was it a bad breakup or something? The energy seemed....off."
"yeah, it was." his eyes don't seem as bright of a green anymore. She notices the shift in his mood.
"......What happened Ren?" she asks softly.
