The Wolf and The Bat

Thanksgiving Headaches

Thanksgiving day came and Eren was ambushed by his young nieces as his siblings and their children came. The Yeager house had a basement dining room that could easily hold a thousand people if need be, but it didn't for the time being.

"Uncle Eren Uncle Eren can you sing me a song?" Penny had asked, eyes sparkling blue.

"No no, sing to me Uncle Eren!" Jenny, her twin, cried.

"No no! Uncle Eren will sing for me!" Tiffeny launched herself around his neck and kissed his cheek, causing the other two nieces to yell and pull on her. Eren looked to Marco.

"Can you get her off please?" Eren asked. Marco nodded.

"Alright girls, Uncle Eren can't sing to you if you break his neck." Tiffeny automatically dropped to the floor and began apologizing. Eren smiled at Marco, then glared.

"You had to bring a horse to Thanksgiving dinner?" Eren asked. Jean rolled his eyes.

"Hey, he's gonna be family someday right?" Marco blushed as he said it and Eren sighed.

"Marco, why couldn't you have fallen for someone nicer?" Eren asked while walking away from the girls who decided to follow him like chicks to a mother hen.

"Should you be talking Yeager?" Eren smirked lightly at the other vampire. He looked at his nieces and pouted.

"I'm hurt." He said, and the three vampiresses glared at Jean and tackled him to the ground.

"You're horrible." Marco laughed. Eren just shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey, if they're willing to do anything I ask, I have no complaints as of yet." They watched for a few seconds before Eren announced he felt better, effectively saving Jean from the twins, who had each grabbed a knife.

"They're monsters." Jean said as Marco helped him up. Marco sighed.

"You need to be careful. He has the power here." Marco said. Jean grumbled.

"Relax horseface." Eren said as the girls clung to his legs and arms. "They are only meant for direct assault. Right girls?" The three girls nodded in unision before Carla came and said that dinner was ready. The three girls at the vampire prince's feet then started fighting over who was sitting next to Eren this year.

"Sorry to burst your bubbles girls, but Eren asked me too." Marco said. The three girls stared and began sniffling. Marco was about to say something when Eren did.

"You can all sit next to me at Christmas okay?" Eren said, making all three vampiress smile happily and hurry to get to their seats. Eren sighed. "This is the closest I'm letting that horse get to me I hope you know Marco."

"Thanks Uncle Eren." Then they went and sat. Grisha was at the head of the table and Eren and Carla sat on either side of him, the table filling from then on however the others saw fit. Food was served and everyone ate happily and made light conversation, taking sips of their blood, some mixed with wine, others with water, some drank it straight.

"So Eren, you still haven't talked about that minor class you're taking." Eren had been sipping blood when his mother spoke. He swallowed and placed his glass down.

"Well... we have partners for the year, the entire course actually. And..." He trailed off, blushing lightly. "My partner is Lupin's grandson." The room quieted as Carla's eyes brightened.

"So he does have a grandson! Oh dear did you hear that? This is wonderful!" She chirped. "Tell me more tell me more. Are you two getting along?" Eren nodded.

"Yeah, we get along well. Got along better after we finished learning about vampires and werewolves." Grisha cocked an eyebrow.

"And why's that?" Eren smiled a little.
