Screw the rules / Eren x Reader

10

Dad, I-” you couldn’t speak properly, you couldn’t imagine this would happen.

Eren got off of you, and he was also very surprised to see your father there, he knew this would ruin both of your lives.

“Mr. Yeger, leave me alone with my daughter,” your father said coldly, as he stared at you, he seemed very disappointed.

Eren looked at you for a moment, wondering if he should really leave you alone with your father in this state, you nodded slightly to him, indicating that everything would be fine.

Eren got up, put on his clothes, and walked past Adam, who closed the door as soon as Eren set foot out of the room. However, the boy was still outside, hoping nothing worse would happen.

The atmosphere inside the house was anything but peaceful. You were sitting on the bed, with the blanket wrapped around your body, you felt very embarrassed. Your father, Adam, was still standing at the door with a worried expression.

“Y/N, we need to talk,” he said, closing the door behind him.

You looked up, already knowing what it was about. Eren’s name hung in the air like a dark cloud.

“I don’t want to argue about this, Dad. I already know what you’re going to say,” you replied, trying to look away.

“It’s not an argument. It’s a necessary conversation. Daughter, you know you can’t.”

You took a deep breath.

“Don’t say that, Dad, I love him. He’s cool and funny. It’s not a crime to like someone, Dad.”

“It’s not a crime, but you know how his family is. They would never allow you to be together. Besides, I don’t want you to hang out with him. He has a reputation for being a troublemaker at school.” Adam insisted, his voice rising slightly.

“Dad, you can’t do that. We love each other and we want to be together.”

You replied, feeling your frustration grow.

Adam ran his hand through his gray hair and sighed.

“I just want to protect you. I’ve been through things like this when I was younger and I know how complicated it can be. You deserve someone who really cares about you.”

You shook your head in disapproval.

“You don’t understand! Eren cares about me. He makes me laugh and listens to me when I’m sad. It’s not fair that you want to control my life just because you’re afraid.”

The tension was rising in the room. The two exchanged solicitous looks.

Adam stepped away from the door and began to pace.

“It’s not about control! It’s about responsibility! You’re only 21 and you’re still learning about relationships. I just want you to make wise decisions.”

You also declared, now with tears in your eyes.

“And I want you to trust me! I’m more mature than you think. I’m not a child!”

Adam stopped and looked at you with sadness in his eyes.

“I know you’re growing up, but my concern comes from the love I feel for you. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

You wiped away your tears angrily.

“And I don’t want to live my whole life under your shadow! I need to make my own choices!”
