𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧 II Eren Yeager Fanfic

You dragged the kohl across your waterline, watching the black coloring spread. You were wearing an elegant but short dress, complete with a small bow at the back. "Y/N, HURRY UPP" Shouted Eren from outside the bathroom door. Rushing, you finished your makeup and walked out the bathroom. 

Eren was wearing his freshly washed hair down, and his suit was plain black, hugging his body. He was standing with hands in his pockets, slouching moodily. "Finally" He said without looking up at you, seeming intent on giving the floor the stink eye. "How do I look?" You ask him, hoping for him to at least look up. He does, and his eyes rove up and down your body, but then he swiftly turns his head away. "Yep, you look, um, good. Fine." Fine? You looked better than fine and you knew it. Whatever. You didn't know why you asked for his opinion in the first place. 

"Okay, it's about ten, let's get going." "Yeah one sec." He entered to the bathroom. "Come on Yeager, you can't tell me to hurry up and then pull this." There was no answer for a few seconds, then he came out of the bathroom, his face slightly pink. 

"What the hell did you do in there? Jack off? You were only in there for about ten seconds. Although you do seem like the typa guy to last ten seconds." "Shut up, y/n, people last ten seconds with me, not the other way round." He grinned. "Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better." You patted him on the back and he flashed you an annoyed look.

Soon enough, you had arrived. You hadn't know what you had expected, but this certainly wasn't it. The party location was a massive house, which you had expected, but what you hadn't expected was the place to look like had been holding a three day frat party. There were so many people on the lawn you couldn't see the door.  

As you walked to the door, you could tell that there must have been gallons upon gallons of alcohol at this party, everyone seemed to be holding some kind of drink. You and Eren fought your way inside, where you caught sight of Hitch looking stunning in an exclusive looking navy dress. 

"Hey, Hitch! You look great!" You called out to her. She saw you and turned from where she was talking to a tall guy with the most awful haircut you'd ever seen. "Y/n, Eren, over here! This is Marlo." The guy nodded at you, taking slightly longer to look at Eren, sizing him up. "I'm gonna take Eren to meet the rest of the guys, kay?" Hitch nodded as she turned her attention to you.

She grabbed your arm, "So, y/n, any questions? I'm gonna take you to meet the girls." She said, expertly leading you through the crowd. She had led you to a corner where a girl with soft black hair and a severe looking blond girl were both arguing. "Guys" Nudged Hitch, 'This is y/n, the new person I was telling you about. Y/n, this is Pieck and Annie." 

You felt their gazes shift from seeing you a merely a passing bystander, to a potential friend or enemy. "Hey, y/n, come sit with us." Pieck said, shuffling over so you'd have enough space to sit down. You thanked her and lowered yourself onto the cushion she was sitting on. Annie said nothing, but flashed you a small smile. 

"Where are you from" Questioned Pieck. "A small village with a large german population in the Krolva district" The  practiced lies rolled of your tongue like silk. "Was your marriage arranged?" Hitch asked. You stopped, you hadn't thought about anyone asking that question. You wracked your brains, trying to think of an answer.

"Of course it was" said Annie, leaning back while simultaneously lighting a joint. "No one in their right minds would get married at our age willingly. Don't worry y/n, here it's easy to pretend that you don't even know your spouse.'

"What Annie's trying to say" Hitch said, with a side eye at Annie, "Is here, a lot of people here got married for their family business deals and whatnot. I don't know a single couple who still live in the same house, here who you're married to is as interesting as someone's favourite colour. It's not deep, it's like a conversation starter. Thank god, because I would never be able to give hooking up, up. Get it?"
