STARVED

just start

—-

It's been a week. You took your finals confidently and you were finally done until summer was over. You were sitting in the passenger seat of Sasha's car as she drove to Jean's summer house that Eren invited you both to.

Sasha was pulling into the driveway of the summer house, she parked it and you got out to get your bag out of the trunk. When you got out, you heard the front door open as you walked to the trunk. You looked over your shoulder and you saw Eren exiting the house in his red swimming shorts and a plain white tee. He walked towards you with a smile and you smiled back at him as you opened the trunk.

"Glad you two could make it," he says and stands beside you at the trunk of the car.

You reach for your suitcase but he beats you to it, he takes out you and Sasha's suitcase to carry them for you both.

"Thanks, Eren!" You closed the trunk after him and he carried your suitcases to the house, Sasha ran ahead to greet Connie at the door while you walked with Eren.

"How was the drive? Not too bad, right?" He asked while walking with you.

"Well, I didn't drive so it was great! The few times that I have driven Sasha's car it makes this weird noise but when she drives, it doesn't," you shrugged and walked up the steps to the front door.

"I keep forgetting you don't have your license. Maybe I could help you practice driving, while you're here...if you want." He offered and even though he's offered before, this time you felt more inclined to accept.

"I think I'd like that," you agreed and turned your head to look around again everything inside.

"I'll show you to your room," he said and you both made your way up the stairs, you tried to offer to take your suitcase but he insisted on carrying it.

He walked you down the hall, dropping Sasha's suitcase off at a different door across from yours. You were surprised there were enough rooms for you to not have to share.

"Everybody's out back, when you're settled just come join." He said to you before leaving you to the room and closing the door after himself.

You unpacked and changed into a plain fuchsia bikini, you put on some shorts as a cover-up and grabbed a beach towel that was sitting on the dresser. It was the evening so the pool would be pretty cool and a bit warm with the sun still out. You walked out of the bedroom and found your way through the house until you found the backyard doors in which you saw everyone outside.

Everyone was in the pool or sitting on the edge of the edge, all except Eren. Sasha had her bathing suit underneath her clothes so she'd just jumped in but Eren was sitting nearby on one of the white lounge chairs. You were going to get in the pool, but you decided to walk over to the chair next to Eren and sit across from him with your towel down next to you.

"Why aren't you getting in?" You questioned, he was already in his swimming shorts he just had his shirt on.

He reaches over to his side and lifts up the edge of his shirt to reveal the bruises over his ribcage, practically black and blue.

"Jean doesn't like it when Pieck asks me about them and I don't feel like arguing over it." He shrugged carelessly, as if it didn't even matter.

You glanced over at Pieck laughing with Jean, you know you shouldn't get involved but you were really starting to not like her at all. Eren didn't seem all that bothered by not being able to swim but you didn't want to leave him alone, so you sat there across from him.

"Y/n you're not getting in?" Sasha shouted from the pool.

"Remember I had that extra large slushie...I'm full!" You shouted back to her and she nodded and continued playing with Connie in the pool.
