"my name? dou ended up asking for it, didn't you?" you put down your book by letting out a little laugh.

"you're starting." you say.

eren stood up and turned his body towards you.

"i asked first." he said with a childish voice.

you raised an eyebrow and felt your phone ring. you quickly checked who it was and you put it down.

"you'd better tell me quickly before my friend picks me up." you say in a teasing way, waiting for eren to state his name before packing your bags.

"huh?!" he shouted, which made him silent instantly so that attention would not be on both of you. "i asked first. you go first. that's the rule. atleast, i had the courage to ask. and I remembered it this time."

"time goes by. he should be there in less than a minute." you teased the boy while you were rebacking your things, wanting him to hurry to tell you before leaving.

"less than one... you don't care about me, right?" eren's face turned into a disapproving face while you refused to tell him.

"no," you looked at him with a sufficient smile on his face when you saw floch walking in your direction. "it looks like he's there. it's on." you add, forcing him to turn around to see who it was.

when he did, a perplexed look settled on his face when he saw the redhead walk towards the two of you. "floch." eren's voice became deep, his eyebrows creating a knot shape between the space.

eren was somehow confused. He clearly remembered that jean had told him that floch was talking to you, but he was now in the library flirting with another girl?

"eren." replied Floch in the same manners and the same tone. when he looked at you, a smile formed and approached you.

you stiffened. your heart was beating so hard and so fast that it looked like it was about to burst. the sensation that revolved around your stomach caused tingling to your chest.

"hey, ready to leave?" you had your back turned, facing the two boys. they couldn't see your reaction. you clung to your bag and bit your lip.

"y/n?" says floch.

eren's face relaxed, his lips slightly annoyed. he was staring at your back. he stood up as he felt his stomach turn and his mind get carried away with memories of the time when you didn't know each other.

"huh?" eren broke the silence between you. i completely excluded Floch since he was not very important in this situation. "so I had to learn your name from him? thats bullshit." he mumbled the last part in his hand.

without turning around, you stayed there, knowing how Eren felt. it was twisted that he learned the name of a person to whom he had been texting for more than a month and with whom he was hanging out by someone he didn't even like.

"did i missed something or...?" floch spoke, because the atmosphere was embarrassing. the tension was thick in the air.

"shut up, Floch." you finally took the speech. you took a deep breath before turning around and meeting eren face to face after learning his name.

this time, it was different. now that you knew who it was, the memories of your text exchanges, your outings, your jokes, your flirts and your arguments have flowed.

your childish and playful mood disappeared in an instant. "i was going to tell you, but he got ahead of me." sou say, in all honesty. you wanted to tease him and tell him once you would have left to raise the suspense, but it clearly turned against you.
