Partnership

Chapter 16: New friends

Eren's pov:

It was 5:45 am and we are all currently waiting for Hanji, Erwin, and Levi. I texted Levi a few minutes before Mika and I left the house, he said they had to pick something up before coming to pick all of us up in front of Northern Sky cafe. I yawned and saw Connie and Sasha arguing over who gets to eat the last few donuts.

"Sash, babe you already ate your three these are mine."

"But I'm still hungry!! Please??? Just a small nibble?" Sasha gave Connie big puppy dog eyes.

"ugh it is too damn early for this will you two shut up?!" Okay that may have been harsh but every one already knows I am most definitely not a morning person. If it were up to me I would wake up every day at 12 noon and go to sleep at 2 a.m.

Every one chuckled softly and I was thankful that the cafe opened its doors every morning at 6:00 sharp so when I saw the sign flip to open I got up and grabbed my wallet. Mika looked up from her cell phone and nodded once I pointed too the cafe. She waved me off and showed me her screen so that I could see that she was too busy texting Annie.

"Speaking of where is she? I mean I thought you invited her." I questioned

"I did, she's coming but Hanji said she'll pick her up on the way here so we'll see them in a few minutes. Hurry and go buy whatever you need before they get here oh and ask Ar if he wants anything." I looked over to where Armin was sitting on Bertl's lap and rolled my eyes, they were currently busy in a make out battle. Someone was definitely getting laid during this trip.

I walked over and cleared my throat, when I was ignored I sighed and tapped Armins shoulder. He jumped and turned to face me both disappointed at being interrupted and embarrassed because Bertholdts hands were roaming around under his shirt.

"E-EREN! Hi!! G-goodmorning uhhh its... nothing was happening..." He looked back a Bertl.

"Uh yeah whatever, like all of us weren't just busy trying to ignore the fact that you two were getting ready to get it on right here. So anyways I need something with caffeine do you two love birdss want anything?"

"Oh thanks but no we're good." Armin turned and smiled up at me brightly.

"Alright well get ready because it seems like their here." I pointed at a party bus coming around the corner and I could just barely make out Erwin as the driver. They nodded and grabbed their things, as they did so I ran inside and ordered two coffees to go. By the time I got out everyone had already stuffed their bags into the bus. I ran up to my bag seeing Levi walk towards me smiling.

"Morning sunshine, what's wrong is one cup of coffee not enough to keep you energized?" Levi bent down to grab my bag but I stopped him.

"It's okay Levi I got it, and one is for you I figured you might need it to deal with Hanji and Sash and Connie." I watched him look back at the bus and sigh.

"I swear their too damn energetic." I chuckled and grabbed my bag, as we went to put it with the rest I saw Annie and froze.

"Come on Eren you already know why she did what she did and you already forgave her calm down nothing is going to go wrong." I watched her walk to me and saw her raise her hand I couldn't help but flinch and look down quickly while accidentally bumping into Levi who caught me from falling.

I looked up and saw a pained look in Annies face and I felt horrible. "urgh..h-hi Annie... s-sorry I didn't mean to...."

She gave a small smile and held out her hand waiting for me to shake it "It's okay I know it'll take a while to get used to me being nice to you but I really am sorry for everything I did...Can we start over?" I nodded and slowly put my hand in hers and smiled.
