In a Dark Room \\ Ereri

NTS: Coincidence

e:

I lay back onto my bed and was instantly relieved of the weight of my body on my legs and feet. I really shouldn't have gone out today since I'm sick, If Mikasa had known, she would've gotten Armin involved and a whole load of crap would've gone down. Can you really blame me though, I go to Maria park just about everyday and I hadn't gone in a couple of days.

While at the park today, I pondered. I was lonely. Of course being alone is something
dear to me, but feeling and being lonely was not on my list of things to do. I was sad for no specific reason.. I just wished that somebody would come and hold a conversation with me; ask me how I feel and just generally care for me, but I haven't had that ever since my last relationship which even then didn't go quite well.

I decide to drag myself over to my desk and put on my headpiece for my Call of Duty setup (I'm sorry if anything seems off, I don't play video games. Please correct me if something is wrong!). I'm immediately greeted with excitement,

"Jaeger Brooooo!! Where've you been my dude?!" Shouted Connie into my ear,

"Holy shit, has Eren come out..... from the darkness I mean..?" Added Sasha.

"HAHA Sasha Well I'm finally able to move and talk less like a toad. But anyway, what's been happening at school, must not be as lit since I'm not there huh?"

"In all seriousness" , Connie began, "yes it's been quite boring with out the whole squad together. But DUDE, you missed Jean getting the shit beat out of him"

At first I didn't say anything. The Jean Kirchstein? Beat to a pulp? Yeah right, who the hell would do that.. Who the hell would even get a chance to start the beating?!

"What the heck?! Who the h-" I didn't get a chance to finish when I heard my mom call me downstairs.

"I heard your mom Eren and she sounded.... I just don't wanna be the one to piss her off. I've gotta go anyway, there's food downstairs" the line dropped and Connie was gone. I sighed Sasha's name, but I could hear her talking to someone on the phone through my headphones so I hung up.
There I was staring at the startup menu only to be drawn from my thoughts by my mother. M

"Eren, I'm not going to call you again."

I decided that I didn't want her to slap my knowledge of good and bad out of me and sulked downstairs.

"Here, I made pasta salad." She said kindly offering me a plate

"Thanks ma..". I started to dig into the plate. I didn't feel the greatest and I felt nowhere near hungry, but I would at least eat some of it to put her at ease. Her eyes were laid on me and I could feel her warm smile radiating.

".... What is it mom?"

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about how you've grown up to be such a respectable young adult". Here we go again with a son appreciation talk and how proud she is as a mother. "Mom, I love you, but you can't praise me, I should be the one bragging about you" I replied in the same way I always do. There was silence and a warm atmosphere--she was still smiling. I pick up my plate and her's and put them in the dishwasher. There on the counter I saw the blue first aid kit I had given to the dismantled teen.

"Hey mom, did somebody come by?" I questioned

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot to tell you, he was looking for you"

"Did you get his name?"

"Oh! So that's what I was forgetting.. ugh, I'm sorry, I didn't. But he had on a dark green sweatshirt and looked kind of sick..."

Yup. That was definitely him. I stared down at the first aid kit then started to fiddle with it while walking up my stairs.

"Thanks Mom"

"Yeah, Eren. Oh and could you go check on Mikasa to make sure she is studying"

I told him he could keep it. What a weirdo.

"Hey, Mikasa," I looked to see that my sister had fallen asleep at her desk. her head rested on her bulky textbook and somehow her peaceful slumber made it seem as light as a feather.

I picked her up and lay her on her bed. Her black hair stuck to her warm face. "Night Mika" I whispered as I pulled the cover up to her shoulders and kissed her forehead. As I was about to turn around to head back into my room I saw a note next to her notebook. Curiosity got the best of me so I picked it up.

'Reminder: Hook him up with that guy.... TALK TO HANJI' first thing in the MORNING

Of course, girls always plotting things to 'better' someone's life. I didn't think much of it. Mikasa is always ganging up with friends making guesses of who the "best ship" would be It's ridiculous because only one of their attempts to create a real life couple that was spit out of their magical shipping brains has worked out... or as they would say "canon"... yeah, whatever that means.

I've prepared my self for my first day of school in about of week. I'm nervous to some extent I mean... come on, Connie said some crazy shit about Jean, I met this tiny but intimidating boy who was somewhat attractive that I was guessing went to Sina High School which is the HS I go to. Hm..

I lay on my bed and quickly fall asleep.

AH HOLY SHIETTT. I REALLY WANTED TO UPDATE, BUT I LOST INTEREST IDK BUT I AM WORKING ON FOUR SO YEAH . ALSO IM SORRY IT'S SLOW, I MEAN YOU COULD SKIP THE FIRST CHAPTER AND BEGIN ON CH. 4 BUT YEAH I THOUGHT I HAD THINGS SORTED OUT.
