BEFORE US

15

After a moment of hesitation, you mouthed and whispered the following letters. "Jeank123!" You muttered under your breath as you typed the following characters in. You paused for a bit as you noticed that you had only five more attempts before you're restricted into inputting anymore passwords. With no confidence, doubt locked in your mind, you pressed enter.

Welcome, Jean!

Eren's eyes slightly widened as he noticed you guessed the password correctly on first try. "How did you—" Eren said as his jaw slightly dropped as he noticed all of Jean's information and personal documents that he needed to do whatever he wanted, was all there. "So, what now?" You said as you turned your head away from Jean's information clearly laying out in front of you, made you a bit concerned on what Eren was planning to do. "I just need some information about some things." Eren said as he scrolled down further into the pages of social security, passport, previous housings, and much more juicy information to ruin a person's life in one click. "Yeah, have fun killing Jean." You said sarcastically as you rose up from the blankets and to the bathroom that was connected to the your room to brush your teeth. You heard Eren slightly chuckle as he heard the things you said about "killing" Jean, which you jolted your head sideways at the sound of his laughter.

"What's so funny?" You muffled as you had a mouth full of toothpaste, scrubbing every bit of your teeth and tongue. Eren slightly raised his head from his laptop to look at you, "You have a strange sense of humor, Y/N." He said as he turned off his laptop and placed it into his bag. He bought out a small hygienic kit that contained a toothbrush and some minty toothpaste. Walking over to you, he placed his things onto the nearby sink that was adjacent to yours, and scrubbed away. You spat out your toothpaste and wiped your mouth, looking at him through the large mirror in front of you.

"Hey, look. We have the same toothbrush!" You said joyfully as you held yours up towards him. The black and red toothbrush that was the exact same thing as the one Eren had in his mouth. He glanced over to you and scoffed a laugh. After a few minutes, he spat the toothpaste out of his mouth, and dried his mouth out with a small napkin. "Where did you get that toothbrush?" Eren questioned you out of the blue.

"Oh, I got it from this store in the middle of nowhere. I was out on a camping trip and forgot my original toothbrush, so I went to this weird sketchy store and bought it." You said as you laid out your toothbrush next to his, comparing the two. Indeed, they were no difference between them. Eren's curious gaze grew as he examined the two carefully with his eyes. "Odd, me too." Eren said as he walked over to where his bag was, and placed the toothbrush inside of it.

There was a brief moment of awkward silence as you walked over to your bed. Assuming that Eren was going to bed, he pulled out his laptop again and began clicking away with great speed on his fingers. "What are you doing?" You said as you pulled your body from your bed, sitting up right. Eren ignored your call and continued to do whatever he was doing in the first place. Frustrated, you crawled to the end of your bed and watched over Eren's shoulder on what he was doing.

"Updating.. 193/283..." The large text embedded in the center of the screen was plastered on his computer. Assuming he was updating some type of virus, your curiosity took over. "What are you updating? A virus?" You questioned as your voice echoed through his ears, causing him to jump a little. He whipped his head around and saw how close you were to the side of his face, and went back to his computer. "Why do you feel the need to ask so many questions?" Eren said with a lustful tone, giving you all sorts of glares. "Because, if you're going to be staying in my room rent free—"

"Who said I won't pay you? How much do you want?" Eren said as he turned his focus on you, demanding some type of given explanation. You were frozen. The thought of money dropping into the conversation gave you mysterious feelings that you rarely felt. "I, uh.." You stuttered out, "I'm not sure, you know?" You said as you tried to get out of the 'money' topic, even though you kind of brought it up in the first place. "Yeah well, once you do, tell me." Eren said as he turned his gaze upon his computer screen, flashing his eyes into details of a random sequence of numbers that looked like as if he was trying to hack into something, or someone.

"Well, there's something I've been wanting for quite sometime now." You said as you broke the moment of silence between the two of you. Eren twisted his head to his side, waiting for whatever you wanted to spill out.
