anybody but you - eren jeager x y/n story

that's your ex

approaching hange with curiosity, i questioned about the blonde girl making her way towards eren. surprised by her presence, i couldn't help but ask the girls about her identity.

hange, with her usual directness, revealed, "oh, that's eren's ex." her response added to my surprise, and i couldn't help but wonder why she was here at this gathering.

the revelation left me a bit bewildered, but mikasa, ever composed, provided some clarity. "she's part of the survey corps and was invited to the wedding," mikasa explained, her words offering an explanation to the unexpected presence of eren's ex-girlfriend.

the revelation, though unexpected, began to make sense in the context of the gathering and the connections between the individuals present. it was a moment of surprise and realization as the pieces of the situation fell into place, leaving me a bit intrigued about the dynamics surrounding the upcoming wedding.

sasha settled in, a contemplative expression adorning her face, as she began to unfold the complicated story of historia and eren's tumultuous relationship.

"y'know," she started, her voice tinged with empathy, "historia leaving eren, it wasn't just a a breakup. it felt like a shattering, like a piece of him was left behind," sasha shared, her eyes reflecting the pain she perceived in eren's heart.

curiosity mingled with concern in my expression as i leaned in, eager to understand more. "how did it happen?" i asked gently, allowing sasha the space to narrate the details.

"there was this bond between them, something deeper than words," sasha began, painting a vivid picture with her words. "but when she chose her path, it was like the ground crumbled beneath eren's feet. he felt betrayed, lost... as if the world he knew had suddenly collapsed," she explained, her voice carrying the weight of eren's turmoil.

"he had invested so much in their relationship," sasha continued, her empathy evident. "the pain of her leaving him cut deeper than just a separation. it was a heartache born from shattered trust and unspoken expectations."

nodding understandingly, i acknowledged the depth of emotions at play. "it must have been incredibly hard for him," i murmured, contemplating the immense impact such a rupture could have on someone's soul.

sasha nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on a distant point, lost in the memories she was unraveling. "eren carried that pain silently, but it was etched in every word, every action," she added, her voice tinged with a mix of sorrow and understanding.

the weight of historia's breaking eren's heart became clearer with each passing word. sasha's recounting wove a narrative of heartbreak, betrayal, and the haunting echoes of shattered trust that lingered within eren's soul. as she finished, a heavy silence enveloped us, echoing the gravity of their story.

as i watched eren's smile while he interacted with historia, a twinge of something stirred within me—a slight pang of envy, perhaps even jealousy. it wasn't that i wished ill for them or wanted to disrupt their interaction, but seeing them together seemed to evoke a sense of discomfort, a feeling that was difficult to shake off.

i found myself grappling with this unexpected emotion, a blend of sourness and jealousy simmering beneath the surface. it's curious how feelings can sneak up on you, catching you off guard when you least expect it. i wanted to keep this under wraps, to not let anyone discern the brewing storm of emotions within me.

so, i masked my feelings, burying them deep within, wearing a facade of composure and neutrality. i didn't want anyone to catch even a hint of the internal turmoil i was experiencing. it felt like trying to maintain a serene surface while a whirlpool of emotions churned underneath.
