after you

"What. The. Fuck."

Your hand clenched around the paper. You bite the nail on your thumb as you look around the room. You got off the bed and went to the closet. You looked for a box and something fell on your head.

"Ow–"

You lowered your head to see what fell. It was that sun journal Armin gave you when you first moved in with a few others. You kneel down to pick it up, your fingertips gazing at the sun stitch. You placed the journal under your arm as you got a small box, shoving the letter in there.

Your feet dragged you back to Armin's room, you didn't knock and just walked in, seeing him reading something on his laptop. He looked up from his laptop, surprised to see you. "The letter, it came in the mail?" You questioned. He nods and takes his glasses off. "Yes, where else?"

"I don't know," You uttered. His brows twisted in a knot as he pushed his chair back a bit. "y/n, is everything okay?" He squinted his eyes as he saw you nod, not believing you but decided not to push it any further.

"Okay.. I'm gonna go to bed so, goodnight." He yawned.

"Mhm, goodnight." You left his room and went back to yours. The letter itself was weird but that's not what had your nerves going. It's the fact that you had a good idea who it was from. You decided not to think about it and just get some sleep.

You wince as you feel the sun beaming through the window. You sat up and wiped the drool off your lip and examined the red marks on your arm. You yawned as you went to the bathroom to brush your teeth.

A feminine soft voice from downstairs was heard and you wondered who was over so early. You grabbed your dark blue rope and wrapped it around your body as you made your way downstairs.

"Ah there she is!"

You rub your eyes, blinking a few times, still feeling the drowsy effect. "Mikasa? Why are you here so early?"

"Girl– early? Do you know what time it is?" She asked. You shook your head because you didn't bother checking the time when you woke up. A small chuckle escaped Mikasa's lips as she leans back on the couch.

"My love, it's one pm," She smirks.

"What?! No its not,"

"Yes it is," Armin added, popping out of nowhere.

"Oh, whoops."

They both chuckle. Armin walks over to you, handing you a cup of coffee. You thank him and take a seat next to Mikasa on the couch. "You guys should come over, and you can meet Carla, y/n." Mikasa said.

"Who's Carla again?" You asked, remembering Mikasa mentioning that name when you guys were at the bakery.

"Hmm– Eren's mom," Armin spoke in between sips. You made an 'O' shape with your mouth and nod. "You up for that y/n? We're just going to be chilling at the pool mostly."

You nod. "Sure, why not."

Mikasa smiles and claps her hands together. "Perfect, you get ready,"

You nearly choke on your coffee hearing Mikasa's words. "Dude, right now?!"

"Yes, it's not my fault you woke up late, is it?" She chuckles. You threw your head back on the couch and groaned. "Fineeeeeeeeeee, i'll get ready." You lazily got up, dragging yourself up the stairs. Your bed was calling your name as you stared at it.

You take a few steps as you collapse on the bed, closing your eyes.

"Y/N ARE YOU DONE?! YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE FOR TWENTY MINUTES!" Mikasa shouted as she banged on the door. Startled, you jolted up and rubbed your eyes.
