STARVED

——

You yawned and stretched your arms out, waking up in a hospital room with a sore back from how you were hunched over laying on the hospital bed while sitting.

"Ah, you're up. Good morning," Eren greeted and you looked across the room to find him shirtless, grabbing his shirt and turning around to face you casually.

"Morning," you replied and cracked your back a little, and searched for your phone.

"Ready to go?" He questioned and you nodded your head while standing.

"Will the train take us to the nearest police station?" You questioned as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"Why are we going to the police station?" He furrowed his brows and grabbed his phone but you were confused why he asked.

"To file a police report against Floch and Armin...why else?"

"What are the cops gonna do? We don't have any actual evidence that it was either of them who spiked the drinks. I'll handle it," he says calmly while walking towards the door and you follow after him.

"Handle it how?" You asked as you chased after him, he was walking faster than you anticipated.

He didn't answer you, instead, he walked to the exit of the hospital without answering your question in the slightest. He just starts walking to the left once you're out of the hospital on the sidewalk, the train station is nearby and you follow him there too, still with no answer.

——-

The moment you got back to the house and walked through the door, Eren grabbed his own car keys and left. Just like that. As much as you knew about him, you still found him so mysterious and closed off and you knew there were certain questions he just wouldn't answer.

"Where's he going? Did his dad call him out or something?" Jean walked down the staircase to you standing at the door.

"I don't know. He just left," you shrugged and he squinted at you for a moment while looking you up and down.

"I'm his best friend, you can tell me. Theres no need to lie about his whereabouts I already know everything about the contract with his dad," Jean insisted and you were particularly curious about the contract he mentioned.

"What contract?"

"Aw come on, don't play dumb. You two spend all that time together and last night people said they saw him go into the bedroom that's yours...you don't have to play innocent with me." Jean chuckled and you were even more confused, Eren never came to your room.

"I don't know what you're talking about." You denied.

"Look...don't get caught up in him and if you've already fallen for him, which you clearly have, let go of it. Eren's contract with his dad isn't going anywhere and Eren won't even be here after we graduate so save yourself the trouble." Jean brushed off and you couldn't spend another moment in his presence so you hurried off up the steps to head to your room.

You had absolutely no idea what he was talking about or why Eren had supposedly been in your room. You had so many questions but you got a strong feeling that none of them would be answered. You rushed off to your room without finishing your conversation with Jean and you entered and closed the door shut after yourself.

On your bed you saw a box, it was kind of large but other than that it was just a plain brown box. You approached it and pulled off the tape when you got to it. Inside you found something you didn't really recognize at first until you picked it up and pulled it out. You smiled when you realized what it was.
