"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.

"I want those frozen yogurt strawberry drinks that they sell at the snack bar." You confessed to Eren, your eyes twinkled at the thought of those delicious drinks that you often craved. Eren shot you a questionable look with his eyebrow raised. "Is that all you want?" He asked as he slightly tilted his head to the side.

You nodded calmly, signaling your acceptance. But deep down, was that really all you wanted? Eren exhaled audibly before reaching his backpack, rummaging through it to find his wallet. You watched silently as Eren searched his backpack for his wallet.

After a moment, he found it and filled it open. His eyes scanning through the contents inside before glancing over to you again. "Go ahead down and get it then." Eren said as he slid his fingers into the small pocket hole of the wallet and held up his credit-card towards you.

You looked at the card he held out towards you, a mixture of curiosity and hesitation held up your expression. "Are you sure? I can pay for it myself." You said, feeling a slightly guilty and nervous taking his card. Eren rolled his eyes as he dropped his card down onto your lap.

"Didn't you say you wanted it?" Eren annoyingly said as he turned his head towards his screen. You picked up the card off your lap, still feeling a tingle of guilt. You looked over to Eren in pleading eyes, yet his focus was on his screen. Assuming he wanted to ignore your presence, you rose up and slid on your shoes.

You turned to face Eren, your hand on the door handle. "Do you want anything, or?" You asked, hoping for a different reaction. His eyes remained in the screen, but he shook his head in a negative response.

A gentle sigh escaped your lips as you swung the door open and made your way to the living room, heading for the front door. With a swung on your arm, you twisted the door open and closed it behind you.

Pacing down the hallways, you made your way to the elevators. The elevator door opened with a soft ding, inviting you to step inside. The elevator descended down smoothly, the numbers on the display counting down with each floor it passed.

After a brief pause, you reached the lobby and walked over to the snack bar to quench your appetite. Spotting the drink lined up in the cooler, you bended over and grabbed one of them.

"Find everything okay?" The cashier asked as he scanned your drink with the scanner. You slightly nodded your head as you reached into your pocket and grabbed the card Eren gave you, handing it over to the cashier. The cashier took it from your grasp and looked at the name of the card holder.

"Wait a minute," He said as his eyebrows furrowed slightly. "You're not Eren!" He splatted out as he chuckled slightly. "He gave me his card to pay for the smoothie." You protested while you slid your hands into your pockets. The cashier laughed as he held onto his stomach. "Like Eren would ever do that—"

"What would I do, again?" Eren leaned closer to the clerk's ear, his voice barely a whisper. The cashier's body visibly tensed, his hair standing on fear. In a quick swift, he twisted his body around standing in front of Eren.

"Wait, no! I meant Aaron, not Eren!" He clarified as he shot up his hands in surrender. He snatched his card from the man's hands and slid it inside the reader, where the sound of the card swiped acceptance.
