21.Eren

**this may be a bit confusing but this is not in t the same time now n we're going back to the past a bit idw say too much but you guys will get it I hope...**

Smash. The cacophony of loud music,chitter chatter,and wild music play in the background.Im at sat at the bar,away from the array of madness,but close enough to see it.I look around at the auburn lighting of the pub, showcasing rowdy men gambling Thier lives savings away, dodgy business men with large briefcases discussing,cheers from a crowd of men who watch to see the a wrestle match between a scrawny blonde and his bald grey headed friend.The bald competitor, around 19 years old seems to be suffocating the week limp child,however the child doesn't give up, instead he turns on his friend and they boy begin to topple onto the ground, fighting for dominace.Twist and turns between the pair however,none of them give up,until the blonde seemingly weak boy,grabs the bald grey headed boy by his shoulders ,twist him and slam him onto the ground.Loud cheers arise which is abruptly silenced by a whilste.

I look to my left to my older brother,Zeke,a drink in his hand,his hair ruffled up and a huge smile on his face.He gestures to them.
"Boys boys,settle down,you two come here"
I watch as the boys quickly obey,and limp towards him, the limp blonde seems to be frightened refusing to look up when hes walking however his companion seems to be talking proud strides towards us,not a care in the world,both of them out of breath.

They examine me for a few seconds,they focus on my brother.
"Kids,I want you to meet ,my little brother Eren"a firm grin gets placed in my shoulder.I stand up,displaying a friendly smile towards the and lent out my hand.

Instantaneously, I feel a body thrown on me and a arm slung around my shoulder

"What's Up Eren,I'm Connie and this is Armin"he points to the limp boy,'armin'the name sends a rush of memories to me.Before I could say anything, I'm interrupted by a excited voice.

"See I knew it!I knew you would recognise Armin"Zeke shakes me uncontrollablly"he was your best friend as kids,you guys were practically inseparable,when you used to visit us here,Eren"he tugs Armin with one arm,we with the other and pulls us in together.
He wasn't wrong.I remember Armin to be the coolest guy with book about everything.

***** Flash back

"Come on Armin,show me the book already" I shout
A collection of "shuhshhes" advance in my direction causing me to look down in annoyance.I stand upon my tiptoes ,grabbing the table for stabilisation,I scan the area for Armin.I tilt my chin up,tryibg to catch the most view but still no luck.
Falling back on my chair,I slouch back into the comforting seat,crossing my arms, drifting myself to sleep
A loud crash awakes me,I look up across the table see a gust of dust veiling a thick book, and then Armin who is rapidly searching through the book,
We're in the library,I'm sat at a forlorn round table,picking at the barren table,I start shedding off the natural wood with my pencil.I sigh and look up,skipping through each page,a violent swish to each page being turned.I gape at my willed friend,his mind completely focused on finding the page.

"FOUND IT"The stops an pushes the ginormous book with all his mighty across the table, running with his hand attached to the edge of the book.
He points at a picture.
"There that's your brother's family and this is the Ackerman family"
The name Ackerman allows a light of interest to enter my mind.I open mouth to

"Yes.Ackerman.Your friend Mikasa.You guys are-" before he could declare any more, the weighty book once situated on the table was now in the hands of a grinning blonde.

"I don't think this is what little boys like you should be reading hmm,?" A peculiar grin

"Yes,Dina"
I look at Armin,he looks at me.we walk away,close by each other.We never saw that book again and it was never mentioned again.
