Tug of war~ Eren x Jean x Reader

Chapter 3: Small act of kindness

The steam from the shower had flowed into the rest of the room, stopping the cold air from chilling my skin. Two towels had been laid out for me by Jean, one large and one small hand sized which would be perfect for squeezing the leftover water out from my hair. My fingers rubbing the condensation off of the mirror, allowing my reflection to peek through showing my blurred appearance. Faint outlines of bags began to fill out my under eyes, it was becoming more painfully obvious how tired i am, "christ" i gave my eyes a quick rub before i wrapped the towel around my body, still squeezing the moisture from my hair with the other towel.

Before leaving i unlocked both doors and grabbed my dirty clothes before making my way back to my room. I hadn't actually seen the inside of it yet, i only caught a small glimpse when Jean slipped my bag in. He had left the door ajar, handy seen as though my hands were full, i knocked the door open slightly with my foot before using my elbow to flick on the light.

It was quite a spacious room, light grey paint lined the walls, the small windows sat on the far wall with a bed placed between them. From first glance id say the bed must be a queen size, covered with white silky sheets and a brown fluffy blanket hung over the bottom half. A brown wooden bedside table had been placed under each window. One had a coffee mat and a white yankee candle and the other had a small Lamp with a brown shade over the top.

On the same wall that the door shared sat a large dresser with a wardrobe in the corner. I took a few steps in before closing the door and walking to the wardrobe. It seemed to be the same make as the bedside tables, same with the dresser. Placing my dirty clothes on the floor before I pulled open the wardrobe door, there were three hoodies hung up and some tracksuit bottoms folded on the shelf above. "Must be one of the guys" muttering to myself as i looked at the dresser. A large Tv sat on the top, covering most of the width. A bottle of deodorant and a aftershave sat on the corner of the dresser, which i assume was also from the guys. My eyes glanced back at the bedside table as i made my way over and planted myself onto the bed. It was soft, memory foam, sitting on it was the most relaxed i had felt for weeks.

My hands reached for a note that had been place on the table~

'I know you must be hungry so i made you a sandwich, half ham half cheese as i'm not yet sure what you like, there's a bottle of water in the draw too. Your bag seemed quite light so i hung a few of my older hoodies and some tracksuit bottoms in the wardrobe which no longer fit. They now belong to you! goodnight sleep well ~ Jean'

I pulled open the draw and saw two bottles of water and a small bag of sweets. How sweet, my eyes moving toward the sandwich that he had made, two separate fillings to make sure there would be something id eat, even gave me some clothing. It's been a long time since anybody has done something this nice for me.

Making my way back towards the wardrobe i pulled out a black hoodie, similar to the one Jean had been wearing earlier, it had a drawing on the front and back which had been painted in bleach. It seemed to be of flowers and skulls, i slipped it over my damp hair before shoving it in a loose ponytail. At this stage my eyes were barely staying open, i chowed down on the sandwich before finally allowing my head to hit the pillow.

Before i knew it morning had arrived, my hand reached for my phone that i had left on the table last night, 10% battery and no wifi, awesome. Pushing myself up i lent against the back wall before giving my eyes a rub. Glancing back down at the time on my phone 12:03Pm, "Fuck" my body shot up as i realized i had majorly slept in, my body must have been exhausted. Digging around in my bag realizing it would be best if i just unpacked and began making lunch for the guys. Guess i should make myself look presentable too. A sigh escaped my lips, unpacking all my stuff out onto the bed. A few outfits, a small bag of makeup and the basic hygiene care and two pairs of shoes, suppose packing in a hurry isn't too smart. Looks like tomorrow will be a day of shopping.

I gave my hair a quick brush before popping it back up into scruffy low bun so i don't get any food in it whilst cooking, a small amount of makeup too. Winged liner, mascara and a small amount of blush to give my pale skin some glow. The hoodie Jean gave me was quite comfy so i decided id just keep it on and change into some trousers. My baggy black cargos were first choice, they paired nicely with the hoodie. Fluffy black socks next, shoes are a no go as i do not plan on going anywhere today. As i made my way over to my door i noticed another note on the floor, must've slipped it under my door this morning.

'Morning y/n, if you're hungry i left you a bottle of the berry smoothie i made this morning with a pot of overnight oats in the fridge, help yourself! hope you slept well ~ Jean"

A smile smothered my face, what a sweet guy. Practically skipped down the stairs, I've never really cooked for people but it'll be a nice way of saying thank you. Especially because of how sweet Jean has been so far, I'm getting the impression that Jean and Eren have different ways of making people feel welcome. Suppose i cant make judgement yet though.

Stupidly i forgot to ask what the guys like to eat so i suppose ill just go with what i make best, Mexican food. Meaning a trip to the store. Guess my plan to not leave the house backfired, i pulled out my phone and searched for the closest shop to me before heading out to go and grab what i needed.

It was a quick trip yet i had managed to spend around 50 on just this meal, hopefully it'll be worth it. Laying out all the ingredients made things easier for me, a quick glance at the time 1:06pm. "Fuck" just over an hour to make the food i got this, lucky they have a dishwasher i suppose. I plugged my phone in before preheating the oven and hunting down all the dishes i required for the meals. Picky food seemed like the best idea, easier to cater to everyone that way. Spicy chicken enchiladas, and non spicy. Chicken nachos and beef nachos. Crunchy tacos and taco boats with homemade fillings. Should be a piece of cake.

I took a few swigs of the smoothie Jean made and quickly scoffed down the oats before beginning.

2:07pm. Done, finally. Now i just have to plate things up.

I laid all the plates and bowls on the table and began to dish up. Laying the enchiladas onto a large dish, spicy on the left and regular on the right, taco shells and boats lined down the middle on smaller plates with bowls of the fillings scattered around, salsa, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and salad. One large bowl of chicken nachos and one with the beef. I popped the bottles of sauce on the table too, sour cream and such. One plate placed at each seat with a cup, i had bought different drinks for them and even placed a spoon and fork at each of the bowls.

A few mins left so i decided to rinse the dirty dishes and pop them into the dishwasher and clean up before they arrived. Washing the sides down afterwards. A sigh of relief left my lips as i finally finished, the door opening shortly after.
