tuesday, 3:00pm

u quickly went to town that sells hot soups. u bought the soup with chicken balls for eren because he told u that he liked chik-fil-a and u assume that he will prefer it to anything else.

,,that will be 14.59$ please.'' said the person behind the counter while u were holding ur wallet in ur hand ready to pay the amount.

,,keep the change.'' u said, the real reason was that u hated manipulating the small things that were fiddled with by half the country. he then gave u a small brown paper bag that contained the soup, crackers and hot tea u bought him.

when u got back to ur car, u placed the tea in the cup holder and the bag in the passenger seat. u recovered ur phone hidden at the bottom of ur bag and sent a text to armin so as not taking the risk of getting seen by eren.

you put ur phone in the auxiliary socket and started listening to ur playlist while heading to the dormitories. u looked at his building with one eye, and once u saw it u parked ur car and saw a reminder paper in ur bag. u started writing a nice little message to cheer him up and u stuck it on the side of the hot cup of soup, and then marked it with ur name.

u would lie if u said u were perfect fine. that's not how u expected to meet eren. all u knew was that he could be at the toilet shitting.

it doesn't matter, u always wanted to bring him food to make him feel better. that's the least u could do since u started talking to him two weeks ago.

,,okay.. 1543.. 1544.. 1546... 1550, i found it.'' u whispered to urself while u were infront of the door of eren's room. u took a deep breath and knocked on the door, waiting for someone to come, but nothing.. no one came.

the only solution was to sigh and put the bag infront of the door and then leave. he probably is sleeping or does not want to pass bacteria to others, and avoiding the door. nevertheless, u left the dormitory and sat in ur car.

letting a breath escape from ur trembling lips after almost meeting eren, u nervously turned ur ring around ur finger, and watched the guy enter the dormitories. to say that he was beautiful was an understatement. he was magnificent.

his hair was styled poorly in a low messy bun, a few strands on his face, black sweater, his pants were slightly baggy with black sneakers. he wore a key pendant around his neck. his eyes had a slight pink hue because it seemed that he had just finished smoking behind the building.

,,fuck hes beautiful.'' u said while looking away from him, withdrawing from the parking lot and heading to ur own dormitory. he was incredibly beautiful. his face lingered in ur thoughts. his piercing emerald eyes, his smooth and tanned skin with no visible pores, his fleshy lips and his sharp jawline. everything was so perfect.

,,fuck floch. this time is ten times more beautiful, maybe a hundred times.'' u thought out loud because u couldn't get it out of ur head. then u shook ur head like a child as if it would remove the image of this student from ur head to another universe.

,,i hope eren likes his gift.'' u say with a smile.

eren was heading to his dormitory after smoking. his hair was styled in a messy bun to prevent it from catching fire using the lighter. god knows how many time he had silenced that.

when he approached the door, he saw a brown bag on the floor. in his mind, he thought his dealer had left him a surprise. he had raised an eyebrow by grabbing the bag while opening his door. he put it on the bed and changed his clothes with the smell of grass into something more comfortable.

he jumped into his bed, wondering what was in the bag. when he opened it, it was something he didn't expect.

,,soup and tea?'' he said in a disconcerted tone as he continued to inspect the polystyrene bowl that had a pink sticky note grafted on the side. he gently tore it off and brought it to his face to read it clearly.

,,i heard that u didn't feel well, so i bought u something that will make u feel better. don't die or i'll resurrect u and kill u again, ok loser?''

eren's face transformed to a disappointed face. he was disappointed with himself to have missed the opportunity to meet u, but it was not the worst. he had lied. u had spent money on him because of his non existent illness.

eren sighed, gently placing the soup so that it did not spill on his sheets and buried his face in his hands as guilt began to surround him. he had never felt this guilty.

he opened the lid, fixing the golden liquid, and felt the smell of chicken and broth tickle his nose. ,,she even brought me my favorite soup.'' eren said before taking a brief break. ,,im really a jerk.'' he continued to fight himself as he hurried to check his phone. he saw that u tried to text him earlier. his eyebrows curled and his straight lips bent down.

eren
