Eren's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of you and Connie close together. He raised an eyebrow as he leaned against the doorway. "Woah." He said, unable to hide his surprise expression. "Didn't know you had that in you, Y/N."

Your eyes widened as you spot Eren standing in your doorway, looking straight at you with those emerald piercing eyes. His gaze longingly focused upon yours. A slight shiver came rushing from your spine as his gaze still fixated upon yours. "What are YOU doing here?" You questioned as you didn't take focus off him.

Eren held up a familiar looking book, his eyes flickered between you and Connie. "Chill, You left your book at my room." He explained as he waved the book over his head. "Connie gave me your dorm room number so I could drop it off." He added, placing the book onto the nearby counter.

You eyed over at Connie skeptically, your expression drastically changed as you turned confused with a hint of curiosity. "So, Connie just handed my dorm room number out to people whom I barely know now?" You questioned as you crossed your arms, your eyes moving between the two of them.

Connie flinched under your piercing gaze, scratching the back of his head. "Uh, it's not like that." He muttered out. "I just gave him your dorm number for the book." Connie said as he tried to defend himself. "Plus, Eren isn't the weird type. I'm sure he'll forget where you even live in the first place." Connie said as he tried to laugh himself out of this situation.

"It's not that," You said as you tried to make him understand. Realizing that there was no point in arguing back and forth, you had no other choice but to drop it as it seemed to be not a huge deal. "Whatever, there's no point in arguing back and forth." You conceded, moving over to the couch to obtain your phone and purse.

Connie watched as you crossed the room and scooped up your belongings, and a small feeling of guilt washed over him. He knew giving your personal details to a person who he only really knew, was a risk of safety on your part. He glanced over to Eren who was scrolling through his phone, paying no mind on what happened.

You shot Connie a half annoyed, half disappointed glance as you walked back over to him. "Ready to go?" You politely asked him as your purse and phone were clasped on your hands.

Connie winced slightly at the mixture of annoyance and disappointment you had washing over your reflection. He knew you were right about it all, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to you with Eren still lingering here. He had to save this conversation for another time. "Yeah, let's go." Connie nodded as he glanced over to Eren.

Eren looked up from his phone as he glared over to you. "I'll catch up with you later, Connie." Eren said as he twisted his body to the door and walked out. You watched as Eren sauntered out of the room, disappearing into the hallway. You turned back to Connie who seemed to be staring right into space. Yet, your irritation still seemed to be bubbling beneath the surface, you couldn't help but accept the fact that it was calmer than it was when Eren's presence was here.

"Hey, lighten up your face." You nudged your arm over to Connie's shoulder, bringing him back to reality. Connie's gaze drifted back to you, as a small smile slowly came spreading across his face. The realization of the situation and your annoyance finally fading away. "Sorry." He mumbled. "Won't happen ever again, I promise." Connie said as he stared into your glistening eyes, in hopes of your act of forgiveness.
