after you

shopping

It's been a few days since you moved. You and Armin connected very quickly and you're glad that you have a brother figure. You did find out that he was only a year older than you and he teased you about it so you've been mentally preparing yourself for any 'older brother' talks in the future.

School starts in 3 days, you and Armin both decided today will be a good day to go shopping. Someone knocks on your door and Armin appears. He was wearing light blue baggy jeans and a baby blue shirt paired up with some converse. "Hey is it okay if two of my friends tag along? They normally go shopping with me and they'll question if I said no."

"Mhm, that's fine." He smiles widely. "Alright cool, thanks sis." You froze at the words "sis" but you catch yourself smiling. "No problem big bro." You mumble.

After an hour of you having a tantrum on what you're going to wear, you decided to wear black parachute cargos, a red graphic crop top, a leather jacket and your red jordans 4s. You keep your hair loose but add some products to make it look nice. (for my black queens, you can imagine braids, silk presses, afros, locs, stuff like that and for my hijab girlies, you guys can also picture whatever you'd like)

You step out of your room and make your way to the living room to see Armin and two others. Armin notices your presence and smiles. He walks up to you and turns to the two others. "Guys, this is my little sister, Y/n. Y/n, these are my two best friends, Mikasa and Eren."

There was a girl, she was very beautiful and she had short black hair that suited her perfectly. The dude next to her. You catch yourself staring a bit too long. That face.. Why does it look so.. Familiar?

He was a lot taller than Armin and Mikasa by a long shot. He had long hair that was perfectly tied up in a man bun. Tattoos covered one of his arms, he had rings on his fingers, four on each hand to be precise. One on his pinky, one on his ring and the other on his index. He also had an eyebrow piercing on his left eyebrow.

He looked up and locked eyes with yours. His what appears to be green eyes, piercing into yours. He looks at you firmly yet confused, like he's trying to figure something out.

"Hi Y/n! It's good to finally meet you, Armin was very excited to have you a part of his family!" The girl interrupts your train of thought. You turn to face her to see she has the biggest yet softest smile on her face. You couldn't help but smile back.

Mikasa side eyes Eren and smacks his arm when she realizes he hasn't said a single word, he seemed pretty out of it as well. He quietly winced and squinted his eyes at Mikasa before turning his attention to you. "Sup."

Mikasa pinches her nose bridge as you awkwardly return the greeting to him. Armin chuckled in the back. "Alright let's go. Eren you're driving."

Eren sighed but shrugged. "Fine." As the three of you make it outside, you notice a black mercedes benz c. Your face nearly dropped because that had been your dream car since you were eleven. "Everything okay?" Mikasa asked, probably noticed you spaced down for a sec. "Hm? Oh yeah, just got distracted looking at the car." Mikasa turns her focus back to Eren's car and chuckles. "Get used to seeing it more often."

You all decided to go to the mall. Once you arrived there it was very different from all the other malls you've been to. Once you all walked in, Mikasa wrapped her arm around your shoulder. "Do you want to go to bath and body works?" She whispers in your ear and you grow excited, you LOVE bath and body works. You nod at her request.

"Yo Armin, imma steal your sister for a bit." Armin looks over at Mikasa, her hand still around your shoulder. He nods. "Eren and I will be looking around, call us if you need anything." Mikasa gives Armin a thumbs up before walking away. You and Eren both stare intensely at each other. Neither of you could break eye contact for whatever reason until Mikasa called you. You broke eye contact and catched up to her.

Once you two spotted the store, Mikasa practically dragged you into the store. "Do you have an idea of what you're going to get?" You look around, thinking for a moment. You were thinking about getting your usual and maybe a few new ones. "Probably new ones and some I'm already used to."

"Alright alright" Mikasa runs off somewhere, you look around for any familiar scents. You came across the scent of strawberry pound cake. It was one of your favorites so you had to get it. Looking around some more, you found another scent you were familiar with, rose. As you looked around for Mikasa, you came across two new scents. You grab the sample papers and pray them on. The first one you sprayed was a scent called forever red, you instantly fell in love with it. You sprayed the second scent which was named gingham love, this one smelled really nice too so you decided to get it too.

You finally spot Mikasa spraying perfume on sample papers. "There you are, I was looking for you." She looks at you and pats your head. "Sorry.. What did you get?" You open the bag to reveal what you had. You had all 3 of the same scents, lotion, perfume and body wash. Mikasa nods her head and shows you what she got. She definitely had way more than you.

You both pay and Mikasa calls the boys to see where they are. Shortly after, you hear Mikasa sigh. "Everything okay?"

"Dude they're all the way across the damn mall! All for some pizza." You chuckle. Mikasa groans as she walks out of bath and body works, following behind her.

"Are you nervous about school?" You stay quiet for a moment and shrug. "A bit? I think i'll be okay though."

"Maybe if we're lucky, we'll have some classes together so you won't be alone."

You smile. "Yeah, hopefully."

Armin and Eren were spotted sitting eating pizza at the bench. They were laughing at something and you get that weird feeling. Erens smile.. You don't know what it is about him but you feel like you've seen it before. Way before.

Armin shoots his head to look at you and Mikasa and swallows the pizza in his mouth. "Finally you're both here!"

Mikasa crosses her arms, waiting for them to say something else. "Why the hell do you look like that?" Eren spoke. "Where's our pizza?"

"Up your ass apparently, check there, you might find it." He shrugged. Your lips curled into a small smile and eye Mikasa, looking like she's about to pounce on him. She walks up to him and twists his ear. You and Armin both cringe as Eren whines.

The four of you continue to look around the mall, going into different stores and trying out different clothes. You feel like you really connect with them. well only Mikasa and Armin, Eren not so much. You guys barely spoke. Or more like didn't at all.

It was time to go back home and once you reached your room, you flopped on your bed, immediately falling asleep.
