Field Trip

Too Wet For Comfort

It took a few minutes for us to gather our stuff and say goodbye to Armin before we actually left.

The rain must have stopped just before we headed out. Droplets collected on the leaves above us, and dark marks stained where they landed on my shirt. Black clouds blotted out the moon, its faint glow reflected on the puddles that had formed, creating little lakes in the grass.

A splash broke the silence between us as I hopped into one of the small bodies of water. "Eren!" "What? My socks are soaked anyway..." I muttered, shaking the water out of my shoe. My socks were heavy on my feet and made weird squishy sounds as I continued walking.

I felt something slip under me. Hoe don't do it. I fell onto my knee, catching myself. Oh my god. "Ughh," I groaned, standing up. A wet spot was left on my pants as a result of my gracefulness. "Told you~," Mikasa called smugly from over her shoulder. Grumbling under my breath, I turned to see what I slipped on. A lone leaf, clinging to the sidewalk as if the rain had glued it down, lay directly behind me, culprit to my fall. Damn nature. This is why I stay inside all day.

I brushed off my pants and jogged to catch up to Mikasa, who was now a good ten feet ahead.

It wasn't much longer until we arrived at our house, which was just down the street from Armin. It was cool that my best friend practically lived with me. I could just walk in his house, raid his fridge, and chill in his room. His grandpa had known me since I was a baby and was totally fine with me just popping in randomly.

Shaking out my hair to free the strands from the stubborn rain, I stood next to the door as Mikasa opened it.

"We're home!" She called up the stairs. A faint response came from the kitchen.

I lazily started up the stairs after wiping my shoes off on the doormat.

Turning into my room, I flung my backpack onto the floor beside my bed and took off my converse along with my completely drenched socks, which I threw in the corner somewhere.

I should probably shower. "Ughh." I'm totally done with being wet, but my hair gets fuckin' weeiirrd from being in the rain.

Luckily, I actually have my own bathroom. I practically had to fight Mikasa for it though. Sucks for her~.

Letting out a sigh, I dragged myself towards the bathroom door.

I stripped, removing the borrowed clothing. Thank Jesus I didn't have to go through taking off wet jeans again.

I pulled the curtain shut turned on the water, waiting for it to heat up. I grabbed my toothbrush from behind the mirror and set it on the edge of the tub. I'm lazy, ok? Brushing my teeth while showering is like, one bird with two stones, or whatever the hell that
saying is.

I waited until steam started to creep above the curtain before stepping into the shower.

Drowsily, I squeezed the bottle of shampoo into my hand, running it through my hair. I shifted out of the stream of water and rinsed off my hands before applying toothpaste to my toothbrush. Slumping against the wall, I started to brush my teeth, occasionally shifting my weight between my legs.

A loud ass thud resonated throughout the room, causing me to jump back. I look down to find that the damn bottle fell after my calf hit it from where it was set behind the curtain, proceeding to scare the shit out of me.

Laughing off my mini heart attack, I continued on with my shower, taking another fifteen minutes before stepping out onto the towel I threw down.

Pulling a towel over my shoulders, I dragged myself to my bed.

Hurriedly, I dried myself off and threw the towel on my computer chair. Looking around, I realized my brush was gone from the dresser. "Ooh my gooood," I said, annoyed. If Mikasa took it again I swear.

Not feeling like going to yell at her, I combed out my hair with my fingers, pulling at the knots. Hair's stupid. I should just shave my head. Haha, nope.

I threw on some boxers and went under the covers, cuddling myself. Why's it even cold? Hashtag first world problems. Wait that's an everyone problem. Whatever. It's fucking cold.

Oh boy I'm back from the dead. It's been like
