Hope you like it!

         I looked out into the dark abyss through the cold, foggy window. Then, started to gaze at the lilacs Eren had picked for me the other day. It was sundown, and everyone was assigned to their sleeping quarters, but somehow something kept me awake. I felt like I was forgetting something. Something that was considered extremely important to me. A familiar voice rattled my thoughts.

"Guess what tomorrow is?" asked Mikasa. " I don't know, wait... do we have extra practice tomorrow, because Shadis told us that we had a break this week, because next week we were going to Trost to actually kill titans." I wined, hoping for a different outcome.

"(Y/n), you need some serious help." I felt like I gave a stupid reply, judging by her expression. " You know what, try finding the answer for yourself."

        Being the desperate person I was, I snatched the lantern she was about to blow out. 

"Mikasa please just tell me, you know how I get when you dodge the topic." I said eagerly waiting for a reply. " Alright, but I'm only telling you because I am a nice person." She's always so monotonous. "Tomorrow is Eren's birthday." Just as those words escaped from her mouth, she quickly leaned over to take the lantern. The lantern slipped away from my grasp, causing her to have more time to blow it out before I got to her. 

          "Goodnight." Was the only thing I heard from her before she drifted off in her slumber. I gasped at the thought of me being stupid enough to forget his birthday. I'm such a terrible girlfriend! Tiredness invaded my being, resulting me to fall asleep.

~Morning~

A/N: You woke up in a foul mood, unable to think of what to do for your lover's birthday. Meanwhile, Armin and Mikasa had something up their sleeve.

Reader's P.O.V

            I thought about asking around the mess hall. Something strange caught my eye. Scanning around the room once more, to find that Mikasa, Armin, and Eren weren't there. So I decided to ignore the thought. I walked over to Krista and tapped her back. 

"Uh, Krista?" I asked while tapping her again. "Whaaa." She jumped making me feel guilty for startling her. " Sorry." I apologized. " It's okay, what were you gonna ask me?"

"I was wondering if , you had any ideas on what I should do for Eren's birthday.

"Aww!" she squealed. Something warm crept up my cheeks. " Well, you can make him something. I heard your food is amazing." I gave her my thanks and headed towards Sasha. I asked her if she had the supplies needed to make cake. As soon as she heard the word............................... "CAKE! CAN I HAVE SOME TOO!" she yelled out of excitement. "Sur-" And with that the whole room full of people were surrounded me, leaving me nowhere to escape.

          "Today, is Eren's birthday! But I don't mind if all of you come over to have some cake!" I yelled making sure they all hear. There was a second of silence, and it all ended with tons of cheering. I mean, I don't get to eat anything  but bread and soup, so I would know how they feel. I guess I'll have to make a bigger cake.

~Time skip~

           A sigh of relief was the only thing that left my mouth. I had finally finished making the cake. I had decided to add two more dishes, pasta and curry.  The cake was a large rectangle with two flavors, both chocolate and vanilla. It had baby pink frosting as the base, covered all over the cake and had chocolate frosting for both the borders and the branch. The branch had rose colored frosting used as cherry blossoms. Under the branch it said, "Happy Birthday Eren" in emerald green frosting. 

          I started to remember the times I used to decorate cakes with my mother. Tears started to stream down my cheeks. I wiped all the misery and began to wrap the cake along with the pasta and the curry. I picked them up and head outside to our usual spot. 

          I paused and looked at the scenery. Everything was decorated. Tables were blanketed with table cloths and chairs were set around it. The feature that attracted me the most were the cherry blossoms. It had sphere like lanterns and little ornaments hung on them. 

           Suddenly, I felt hands on my shoulders and realized it was Armin and Mikasa. 

" You like it?" asked Armin leaving me flabbergasted. " We overheard everyone talking about the cake you'd be making so we planned to have a surprise birthday party to help you out."

"Why weren't you guys there at the mess hall?" It was all starting to come together. "We kept Eren out of your way so that you'd have time think what to do for him. He kept asking about you non stop. He is currently in his room right now." explained Armin. 

"You guys..-"  "Your welcome." They both said. Armin went to go call the others and told them to hide . Meanwhile, Mikasa led me to Eren. She told me to hide outside the door.

A/N:  Eren was blindfolded with Mikasa guiding him towards your hand. Eren was startled at first, but recognized that hand of yours that entwined with his. " Don't worry its me, (y/n)." You reassured him.  You led him outside and opened his blindfold. 

              "SURPRISE!!" They all shouted. Eren looked around and found Jean. He leaned over to your ear. " Why is horseface here?" Almost anybody could tell that he did not like his presence. "Cmon Eren, just let it go for now." You gave him a peck on his cheek. 

               Everybody was having a good time. 

Reader's P.O.V

                "(Y/n)! Your pasta is so good!" "Same goes for the curry!" I heard compliments here and there. Surprisingly Jean and Eren haven't fought at all. I felt relieved and hoped that Eren was having a good time. Soon it was time to cut the cake. Eren stood beside me, smiling. They all sang him happy birthday. As soon as he cut the cake everyone cheered. I saw him dipping his finger in the frosting, I turned around to look at the scenery again. Just when I turned my head back to his direction I felt frosting smear all over my face. "I'll get you for this Jaeger. Later." I received one his adorable winks. 

                Everyone had left and gave their farewells, leaving you and Eren the only ones left. "It is a shame that there are no leftovers, the food was amazing." He told me. "Just because the party is over doesn't mean that I'm going to forget about what you did to me." I warned him. "Did you do all this for me?" He asked

"Yeah-, Eren-" His finger silenced me from saying another word. "I forgot to tell you how beautiful you are." He leaned closer, his lips hovering over mine. "I love you." He stole a kiss from me. "I lov-."

"Ssshh. I know." He pulled me to his chest, stroked my hair and showered kisses all over my forehead. And all I heard was the melody of his heart. Eren is the only reason why my heart beats. 

I love him.
