Senior Year [ SNK / EREJEAN ]

Chapter 14

Jean quickly grabbed his boxers along with his white undershirt, which were both carelessly discarded in the corner of the bathroom. He slipped them on, not even caring how disheveled he must've looked at the moment, before reaching for the doorknob.

"Babe, where are you goooingg?"

Jean turned around, looking at Eren, whom was still naked and sitting on the floor. "Outside. I'll be back in a second." He mumbled in reply, turning the doorknob and opening the door.

He was faced with an empty hotel room, albeit messy from the party nonetheless, but empty.

"Hello?" He tilted his head, giving the entire room a look over, making sure there was nobody hiding behind any furniture before stepping back inside the bathroom again with a shrug. "I heard somebody laughing. Didn't you hear that too?"

But Eren was already knocked out, snoring softly as he slept.

Jean shook his head. "Idiot." He grabbed all of their clothes and hung them up in the closet so that their fancy suits wouldn't be wrinkled. Afterwards, he cleaned the bathroom up some more before carrying the still sound asleep Eren over to the one of the beds and getting into bed with arms wrapped around him.

"Goodnight, babe."

Jean placed a soft kiss on Eren's forehead, and then turned the lights out.

After spending the rest of the weekend getting over his insane hangover and coming to terms with the fact that he'd had sex with his boyfriend for the first time, Eren returned to school on Monday morning with just the slight remnants of a headache.

As soon as he walked into the hallway, however, he was faced with strange looks from some people and a lot of whispering. At first, Eren had thought there must've been something on his face, but he quickly figured that was not the case after he'd checked in the bathroom. Deciding that it was his messy hair or something, he let it slide and sat down in his first period class a few minutes before the bell rang.

"Eren, how was prom?"

The brunette turned around, face to face with Armin, who was as energetic and happy as ever.

"..Dramatic." Eren answered after a long pause, recalling what had happened during spin the bottle. Fortunately and unfortunately, getting drunk didn't hinder his memories at all.

"What?! What happened?" Armin's expression quickly turned into one of worry.

"Um, did Jean not tell you anything about it?" Eren asked, not meaning to sound so snarky or rude. He was just tired out, and sort of annoyed with the looks people were giving him. In fact, at that current moment, he could feel the eyes of two girls on him. They were sitting in the back of the room, giggling and whispering to each other- about him, most likely.

The blonde looked kind of taken aback, a little frown surfacing on his lips. "No.. He was real quiet this morning in the hallway.." Armin answered, scratching his head. "I don't know why. I tried asking him what was wrong, but he wouldn't tell me."

Eren raised an eyebrow. What could possibly be wrong with Jean? He was perfectly fine before school started. He even bought me a donut and coffee. "Oh." The brunette mumbled. "Did I do something..?" He wondered out loud, rubbing the back of his neck.

"No! Eren, I don't think it's because of you. I know he would tell me if it was." Armin placed a gentle, reassuring hand on Eren's shoulder and rubbed slightly. "Just shoot him a text or something.. Don't worry about it too much. Maybe he's just tired and moody."

Eren nodded, but he was still thinking about what he could've possibly done to Jean within the time span of half an hour to make him angry. He took out his phone, finding Jean's number and opening up a new message.

hey. did something happen?

Eren bit his lip, running a hand through his hair before sending the message. He grasped his pencil with his freehand, pretending to jot down some quick notes as the teacher was beginning with the lesson.

Fortunately, he sat in the back of the room so he was barely noticeable.

Unfortunately, Jean replied seconds after he sent his message and his reply didn't sound too good. Actually, it sounded rather cryptic.

i don't know. did something happen? you tell me.

Eren scrunched up his face, squinting at his phone screen as if he'd misread the message. "The fuck..?" He mouthed to nobody in particular, fingers flying across the screen as he typed up a new message.

jean, tf? did I do something?

The brunette hit send, sighing and reclining back in his chair. Not the most comfortable position, but it would do. Is he still hungover or something? Maybe it's a really bad hangover and he's just grouchy.. Or maybe I really did do something when I was drunk that made him mad?

from: horsebabe not horseface 💘
stop playing dumb, eren. it's really not going to do you any good.

Eren nearly flipped his desk over.

to: horsebabe not horseface 💘
i'm not playing dumb, wtf. i'm literally clueless. did I do something when I was drunk? maybe i just don't remember

Two agonizing minutes crawled by.

from: horsebabe not horseface 💘
no.

to: horsebabe not horseface 💘
no? that's it? k, can you maybe elaborate?

from: horsebabe not horseface 💘
not right now I can't. not through text.

Eren just stared at his phone, a dumbfounded expression on his face.

from: horsebabe not horseface 💘
we're gonna have to talk at lunch.. unless you're up to skipping next period?

Shit. If Jean's willing to skip a class over it, it must be something extremely significant then. Eren gulped nervously, trying to stop his hands from shaking as he typed up his next reply.

to: horsebabe not horseface 💘
i'll skip.

from: horsebabe not horseface 💘
alright. meet you at the back exit of the school after this period then. try not to take too long, wouldn't want any administrators seeing us sneaking out.

to: horsebabe not horseface 💘
K

Eren sent his message, but then stared at it, feeling as if it was a bit too harsh. Especially considering the situation.

to: horsebabe not horseface 💘
love you

The brunette wiped his sweaty palms on his pants.

from: horsebabe not horseface 💘
yeah.

Eren could feel his heart sink in his chest.. Not too good of a feeling. I'm seriously fucked now.
