Stand by me [Eren x Reader Modern AU][ON HOLD]

you could've died today but fate changed

"H-huh.." Eren backs away silently. A shallow figure approaches him. "W-What're you doing..?" He asks backing up on the wall. "---About to kill..--" The voice whispers then cornering him. He whispers slowly in Eren's ear. "--You." He says. Unable to see the figure, Eren quickly identified it as Zach. "You!" Eren gets out of the corner and runs a distance from Zach.

Eren starts to laugh crazily. "Why are you laughing? Because you know you're going to die right now?" Zach asks slowly raising a gun and aiming at Eren who was a distance away from him. "So, this is what you lured me into.." Eren says laughing as he moves his bang that was covering his eye due to the rain on his hair. "Look, I don't care weather you attempt to kill me, it's not doing you any good...my main concern is.."

"You tried to lure (Y/n) into this.." Eren says.

Eren then flickers something out. "I would never, ever, let you kill her." Eren says as his bangs covered his eyes. "Hmm..well..Vice versa....Look Eren, just give me (Y/n) and you won't die, okay?" Zach says happily. He giggles as he was about to pull the trigger of the gun.

"You can have that b****, Sarah...I'll keep my precious (y/n), you hear.." He says. "Hehe, too bad I didn't argue with her--" Eren says before being cut off by Zach. "Excuse me? At least I didn't leave her hanging even though she helped me gain friends once again..Now, please, shut up and make me kill you, alright?" Zach says, saying the last part happily closing his eyes smiling.

"Look, you planned this out with Sarah I know you." Eren says. A minute of silence.

Zach slightly aims before Eren turns around and throws a pocket knife inside of the gun. Zach drops the gun as it bursts. "W-what the hell..?!" Zach wonders in shock. "How was that possible..?"

Eren flickers something out of his pocket again, another pocket knife, and then dashes towards Zach quickly. Eren points the knife at Zach's neck. But before Eren decides weather or not he should murder Zach, he notices Zach in pain on the hand he held the gun with. His right hand.

Eren lowers his hand from Zach's neck, grabs Zach's right hand and brings it towards him. Zach, confused, tries pulling away before Eren hushes him. "Shh, if you keep squirming I won't be able to see how I'm going to make you suffer." Eren says. He puts Zach's hand against the cold, wet, stone wall and then impales his pocket knife in it. Eren covers Zach's mouth not allowing him to squel in pain.

"Now.." Eren says as he takes the knife out of Zach's hand.
Eren cuts his shirt slightly, and cuts himself, scratches his face and ruffles his hair. Eren drops the knife and acts as if he was in pain. "Ahh..I'm hurt." Eren says then laughing at the end. Eren walks off.

Zach slid down the wall sitting against it in pain. "Men, come out." He shouts. A group of grown men, whom seemed very...'High classed' looking comes out. They were wearing formal business suits, sun glasses and carrying either a bag or suitcase.

"Where were you all?!" Zach asks. "You told us not to come out until you called" One of the men say. "I-I can't go to the hospital for this...they'll ask why...they'll find out!! But it hurts really bad!!" Zach groans in pain. One of the men took something out their bag. A white bandage. "We knew you'd be in a situation like this.." One says. The man treats the wound as Zach looked up to one of the men. "I need you to do me a favour...This ones for a suitcase of cash.." He says.

Elsewhere...Eren drags himself walking as if he was in pain. Ruffled hair, Cut clothes, bruised, but it wasn't Zach who done it. It was himself. He drags himself to a certain house. Yours.

You sat down watching tv by yourself, as Shimmer was at a school sleepover. Your parents left for a business trip. It felt lonely, just watching 90's tv shows all by yourself while your parents were not home, isn't fun.

You suddenly hear a thump at your door. Your heart shudders as run to the door slightly peeping out the windows to make sure whoever was out the wasn't a pedophile, stranger, murderer, or a psychopath.

You look out to see a pair of turquoise eyes looking down in pain. Turning your alarm off, you open the door, only to see Eren weakly try to stand up. He accidentally almost falls on you before you hold his torso avoiding that from happening. "(Y-y/n)...oh, (y/n).." He says breathing heavily.

"Eren!!? What the hell?! Eren!!" You say in panic trying to act calm. "Look at you, who did this?!" You ask in shock. "I would explain. B-but I need help..Ah...I'm in too much pain!!" Eren groans. "Okay, okay, uhm, uhm..." you look back and forth not knowing what to do.

"Okay, okay, uhm...uhmm...bandages, you need bandages!" You say quickly running upstairs and getting the pack of bandages. Eren smirks but as you come downstairs his smirk quickly fades away and goes to a face of pain. Funny, the Band aid brand commercial was playing. WHICH WASN'T HELPING BECAUSE YOU FELT LIKE DYING OF LAUGHTER.

"Oh Eren, I'm so sorry this had happened.." You say putting two bandages on each wound. "Some of these wounds are really bad...who did this?" You ask. He did. "I think you might have to call it a day off tomorrow, okay? I'm no expert on medical stuff but you can stay here." You say. "B-but it'd be better if you stayed with me.." Eren wheezes out. "I can't, but at lunch, I'll see if Levi can give me a drive here, alright?" You say brushing his hair.

You may be overreacting, but, this was you best friend, who comes to your house cut, wounded and hurt. Besides, t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶l̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶g̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶r̶s̶e̶.̶.. you obviously want to help him and ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶l̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶g̶o̶o̶d̶ make him feel better.

"Here, I'll make you sleep in the extra room, toda--" You say before being cut off by his panting. "N-No..I would like to be in your room because...I think it might be more comfortable.." Eren says. "Okay, whatever you say!" You say wrapping his arm over your neck and helping him walk upstair. For each step you both took you heard "Ah!", "Ouch!", and "Walk slower", the whole time.

You lay him on your bed, then you turn around. "Why are you turning around?" He asks. "Ahem, because, you should take your shirt off." You say blushing. "O-okay.." Eren takes his shirt off, you, who is eager to see, turned around and took the shirt throwing it out.

"What do you normally wear before youmgo to sleep, I think my dad, may just have something--Woah...that bruise on your chest." You realize. "You can keep your shirt off." You say. Here I have some jogging pants that my older male cousin left her about a week ago." You run to the extra room and quickly grab it. "Put it on.." you throw it at Eren and leave the room.

"You can come in now.." Eren tries to call with his raspy voice. You come inside then sitting on the bed. The side where he was laying down were your pajamas on the floor. You go there and pick up before Eren grips onto your arms. "Hhm...Aren't you sleeping in here?" He asks. "No. That'd be weird." You say as your heart pounds. "I-It's not like we're going to do anything, anyways.." Eren says blushing. "Yeah but still." You say.

Eren puts a sad look on his face as you leave. "Are you serious?" You ask going backwards. "Don't make me feel bad" you say.

The next day, you met up with Shimmer and and told her about the incident. But one thing you realized is that Eren still never told you what happened.

One thing you noticed, was that Zach had a white bandage over his right hand. He looked sad and calm. "hey...are you okay? What happened...?" You ask in confusion.

"Uhm.." Zach says blushing slightly.
