Eren's POV
I woke up around 3 in the morning because we fell asleep around 8 in the evening. My chest felt mildly sticky and uncomfortable because of the previous events that occurred tonight. I crawled out the bed slowly and quietly as not to wake Levi and grabbed my underwear and pants from the floor, quickly slipping both on. I headed towards the bathroom and waited till the door was closed to turn on the light so that I wouldn't wake anyone. I grabbed a washcloth and squirted a little bit of soap on it before running it under the sink's faucet, making bubbles appear in the sink below. I took the cool washrag and started to wipe off my chest so that it wouldn't be so disgusting anymore. Once I finished I turned out the light and opened the door to see every one still asleep, the only bad part was that I was completely awake now. I picked up my notebook, pen, and book light and made my way over to the balcony. I quietly opened one of the doors and stepped out into the warm breeze and into the Vegas lights. I took a seat on the loveseat that was outside and put my feet up on the coffee table. I opened my notebook to the desired page and began to write. I think I write the best during the late hours of the night.

I got lost in my writing and time became a foreign concept to me. I had my nose buried in this notebook and my pen didn't stop moving for hours. When I glanced up for a fraction of a second, I had to do a double take. The sun was up, the neon lights were off, and there were people in work attire bustling down the sidewalks on their way to work. I had written a decent amount, six pages to be exact. I decided that now was a good time to stop for the time being. I marked my page, capped my pen, shut off my book light, and closed the notebook. I wandered inside to get my morning fix of tea when I caught a glimpse of the clock. It was only 8AM! No one would be awake for another two hours at least. I decided to get a cup of tea and then shower and get dressed. So, that's what I did. I went into the living area where the little counter was with the kettle and all. I made my tea, drank it, then headed back into the bedroom. I dug around in my suitcase and pulled out a white button up, black skinny jeans, and some underwear. I tip-toed past the beds and into the bathroom. I flipped on the light and shut the door and headed over to the shower and turned it on. I was greeted with a spray of cold water and I cranked it all the way up to as hot as it could go because I like hot showers so that I can practice burning in hell. I like to think I'm funny.

I stripped down and stepped into the steady flow of water and let it spill over my head. I closed my eyes and ran my hands down my face, trying to avoid overthinking and keeping my mind clear. I grabbed the shampoo and poured a generous amount into my hand and then proceeding to massage it into my hair and scalp. Once my hair was fully lathered I stood back under the hot water and scrubbed the soap out of my hair and watched it spiral down the drain. My hair was getting quite long, I'd have to get a hair cut when I got back to Florida. I put a small amount of conditioner in my hair and rinsed that out as well. I was doing my usual shower routine quickly because I was trying to delay my inevitable existential crisis that I usually have every time I shower. I lathered my body in the lavender soap that the hotel offered and then rinsed that off as well. I grabbed a towel off the bar on the wall in the shower and towel dried to my hair to the point where it was just damp. I then wrapped said towel around my waist and pushed the shower curtain aside and stepped outside into the steamy bathroom. I walked up to the mirror and wiped the mirror off with my hand, creating a circle that made my torso and face visible. I grabbed the shaving cream and squirted some into my hand, then plastered the foamy substance onto my cheeks, chin, and halfway down my neck. I picked up my razor and proceeded to shave my face and once I was done I washed my face with the bar of soap that sat on the side of the sink. I then brushed my teeth and got dressed. Once the bathroom was cleaned up and dehumidified, I hung up my towels and left to make another cup of tea.
