It was 8 a.m., and the air was filled with the promise of adventure as Eren's large black SUV sat parked outside his apartment complex. Today marked the start of an epic road trip to Miami, and everyone was buzzing with excitement. Eren leaned against the driver's door, wearing a relaxed tank top and comfy sweatpants, his messy hair tied into a loose man bun. He was still half-asleep, but the thrill of the journey was already waking him up.
Minyoung was next to him, looking effortlessly cool in a cropped graphic tee and high-waisted leggings that hugged her figure perfectly. Her cherry-dyed hair fell in loose waves, and she had opted for minimal makeup—just a bit of tinted moisturizer and lip balm. "Are you ready for this?" she asked, her voice teasingly soft.
"Only if you're ready to be my passenger princess," Eren shot back with a playful smirk, causing her to roll her eyes in mock annoyance.
"Pfft, of course. I was born for this role," she declared dramatically, throwing her hair over one shoulder.
Sasha appeared next, bouncing into view in an oversized tank top and soft, baggy shorts. Her brunette hair was pulled into a high ponytail, a few loose strands framing her face. "Guys, I can't even think about food right now. I'm just so excited!" she exclaimed, practically vibrating with energy.
"Food's coming soon hon , calm down," Connie said as he walked up, looking cozy in his favorite tee and sweatshorts, which had seen better days. His grey-dyed buzzcut made him look a bit more awake than the rest of them. "Sasha, are you sure you can handle breakfast? I mean, I don't want you to explode in the car."
Sasha threw a playful punch at him. "Shut up! I'll show you who can eat. I'll have you know I can out-eat you any day!"
From behind them, Mikasa emerged, her expression calm and collected as always. She wore a simple black tank top and joggers, her short bob framing her perfectly and her glasses . She hardly bothered with makeup, only swiping on some lip balm. "Try not to be too loud," she said, half-smiling. "We don't want to disturb the neighbors before 9 a.m."
"come on, Mikasa! You know we're all about that hype," Jean chimed in, joining her side in a loose-fitting tee and joggers. His outfit was comfortable but still slightly stylish, with his denim jacket thrown over the top. "Plus, I want to see Sasha take on that Waffle House challenge."
"Are you two planning on ruining my life again?" Mikasa asked, rolling her eyes but unable to hide a small grin.
"Just making your life more interesting!" Eren quipped as they started piling into the SUV. He hopped into the driver's seat, while Minyoung slid into the passenger side, throwing her legs up onto the dashboard, grinning at Eren.
"Passenger princess reporting for duty!" she said, clicking her seatbelt in place.
As they settled in, Sasha clambered into the backseat next to Connie, who was already pulling out snacks for the trip. "Did you bring enough for everyone?" she teased, eyeing the granola bars.
"Hey, I need my energy for when I steal your food at breakfast," he shot back, snickering.
Meanwhile, Mikasa took the middle seat, her calm demeanor contrasting with Jean's more animated energy as he settled next to her. "You're in charge of the AUX, right?" he asked, nudging her.
"Only if you promise not to hog it," she replied, already reaching for the cord.
Eren started the engine, letting out a satisfied growl as the music began to play. "Let's go."
With their spirits high, they decided to make a quick stop at Waffle House. The moment they walked in, the familiar smell of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee enveloped them. They plopped down in a large booth at the back, with Eren and Minyoung facing each other while the rest squeezed into the seats.
