YOU RARELY MAKE any bad decisions but once you do, the world will make sure you suffer for it.

It's the day of your presentation and normally, you would be up and ready. The 'ready' part is something you've already achieved because last night you spent a lot of time reviewing and revising your presentation and didn't stop until you felt satisfied. This is where the bad decision rolled in. You decided to reward yourself after your hardwork and chose to binge watch a new series. Long story short, the series had three seasons and you needed answers, not sleep.

So when Tuesday morning came, you had to leave your apartment early to ensure you won't be late while forcing yourself to be content with only three hours of sleep. It was the worst feeling in the world. Everything around you looked and sounded irritating. There's a dull pain pounding at your head and the fact that you were left with an empty jar of coffee this morning makes you even more miserable.

[sorry, i took the last bit of coffee can u buy more later. tnx]

Mikasa left you that message. You had been in charge of coffee in the apartment because you chose to do so. Your roommates thought you had the better taste in coffee while they bought the milk and sugar instead. There's only one certain brand of coffee you drink that's why you're not complaining if you spend a lot more than them.

But now, you're forced to divert from your usual brand and fight for your life trying to reach Sonny and Bean's. Being sleep-deprived means being at your worst, so you hope you won't run into someone you know. Because right now, you're starting to hate the chatter of people and cars around you, you hate how your bag grips at your shoulder painfully, and you absolutely hate yourself for choosing to stay up all night.

"Yo!"

And the world hates you too.

An all too familiar voice called your name. You turned around, "Eren?"

God, why does it have to be him?

Eren was grinning when you faced him. His hands deep in the pockets of his hoodie. You suddenly remembered that you haven't returned his hoodie yet. You made a mental note to return it soon and hopefully remember that note because whenever you're around Eren, it's like half of your brain just stops working. Totally not cool for someone so attentive like you.

Normally, seeing him would make you feel giddy but your tiredness prevailed and reflected on your demeanour. Eren noticed and stopped grinning. "Woah, you okay? You're not looking too well."

You're not in the mood to engage in a conversation, so you chose to lie. "I'm fine."

He stepped forward to lean closer, giving you a funny look as he scrunched his nose. "You're not a really good liar, aren't you?"

It seems he won't be relenting anytime soon. You sighed, "No... I wasn't able to get much sleep."

"Figures. Have you had any coffee at all?"

He's asking so many questions and you feel overwhelmed just from standing in one place for too long.

"Obviously, I didn't." Your eyes glared at him slightly but upon recognizing how your tone came out too snappy than intended, you stepped away from him, ready to apologize.

But Eren beat you to it as he stepped back, hands raising in the air with a nervous smile on his face.

"Ok ok, sorry. Do you want me to leave?"

Now, you didn't really want him to. You felt bad for snapping at him. "No. Sorry, I'm just... I'm really sleepy and I just need something."

"I know, princess. We can't have you dozing off during the presentation now, can we? How about we get you that something?"
