Your house
"So... What's the point?" Hanji chewed on a piece of meat.
"Are you serious?" you sighed loudly "I'm talking about my problems and you take them for granted??"
"Oh, I am very serious..." She got straight, leaning on the sofa's pillow.
"So you have two hot neighbours. Mr. Eyebrows and the big ass Tree... What's. The. Problem...? Put on something sexy and stop being stubborn..."
"Wow you're so helpful!" you said sarcastically "I don't like that kind of things... Well, I do, but you don't get the point... Since, you know..." The only thing you could do was shake your head furiously.
"Yeah, yeah... When will you forget? And... Most important thing, I wanna see these guys, immediately...!" She got up and left your apartment "We need sugar... I'm gonna ask your neighbours...!" she grinned.
<<Fuck, I'm gonna punch her!>>
"Oh hello-" You couldn't hear the rest cause you were now furious and running out.
She was talking with Mike.
"Hanji what the- Oh... Mike, hey."
Mike smiled a little confused, he wasn't talking much.
"Want to... Come in?" He then said nonchalantly.
She replied with 'sure', you tried to politely refuse but, oh well.

Hanji's
...

Oh my, what a view.
Well, he's [Y/N]'s type... Tall, blond and gorgeous... Like the fries' commercial...
"Who's there?"
Another man entered the living room. He was wearing a towel wrapped around his waist, he was huge, very muscular, his hair wet. Oh my...!!!
[Y/N] froze. It's gonna be so fun!
It's better if she forgets that ex boyfriend of hers quickly.
I couldn't help but grin stupidly.
"He-hello... " Omg he looked away.
"Oh, we're so sorry, I only needed sugar..." She was strangely aggressive.
Mike turned back "What the hell? Why are still here, didn't you leave this morning??"
"I came back cause..." He looked at [Y/N] "Someone said I smelled..." He had a strong american accent.
"Yeah okay, I don't think we need sugar anymore..." she laughed nervously and whispered to me "Now, are you happy?"
[Y/N] dragged me out of Mike's house, with a smile that was creeping me out.
We went back rapidly, poor Tree pale and silent and Mr. Eyebrows was grinning, he seemed okay to me...

You were calm, however you were averting your gaze from Hanji's.
She was slightly scared of talking and knew better than anyone that was better not to mess with you.
You were pretty tough...
"Why are you so quiet?" You murmured. "You saw them... Tell me what you think."
"Oh...I really like the eyebrows one, he's cool!" Hanji smiled, avoiding your gaze.
"Seriously?" You were making a disgusted expression, but deep, very deep down, you liked him... At least a little. He was slightly cool...
"Ehmm... Yeah... He blushed when you entered..." <<That grin again, she's always ten steps ahead of me.>>
"Ugh, what the-" You covered your face with your hands, desperately "C'mon! Really?! Blushing? That big, cold piece of ice??"
"Well......Ok, then. What about Mike? He seemed nice.
The silent type but nice... I guess." You looked at her awkwardly. "Mmmm, Mike eh?" You seriously thought about it but you sure were skeptic... "I don't even think he likes me... And I won't go out with anyone..." Hanji looked gloomy. "Right now..." You amended yourself.

Mike's house
"Could you stop moving around? You're making me sick." Erwin was reading, some kind of history book. His brother was walking up and down the flat, his footsteps rumbling around.
"Are you still HERE??" He was strangely upset, he could barely convey his feelings to others, but that was too obvious.
"Don't you have to hand over your work before the deadline?
Erwin looked at him halfheartedly,
"I'm not inspired enough."
Mike didn't really care, he just wanted him out. Inside his head everything was a mess.
He had a little vacation from his job, a very acclaimed cook, and wanted to relax.
Mike was the typical cold and calculating guy, who didn't speak much, but, somehow, he could open easily to you.
You knew each other since a week, but he was being captivated by you... Erwin didn't think the same though, he saw you in a way neither him could understand, so he thought that was because you couldn't stand him...
That was the first time that ever happened to him, I mean, observe him, he loved himself more than anything, at least until now.
He had that scary glare, and his beautiful icy eyes made it worse. He hardly smiled seriously, always so irritatingly sarcastic.
He couldn't acknowledge the fact that you somehow, were superior to his whole existence...
You were messing them up without even noticing...
"I want you out of here, I know what's in your damn mind!" He lowered his book, "Eh...?"
"Yeah, play dumb." He looked dangerous "Don't you want her in your bed? I told you, didn't I? You're not here coincidently..."
Erwin looked up "Are you angry for something I didn't even do?"
"I'm not angry! But, it's better to prevent... " He sighed.
"I'm leaving... You better be gone when I return."
"Where you going?"
"None of your business. " Mike had a strange tone of boredom.
"Are you serious? You gonna ask her out?" Erwin silently stared at his profile.
"W-What? How did you- No!?" He furiously glared at his brother.
"I'm older, I know you better than you think..." Erwin disguised his weird anger with a sarcastic tone.
"Even if I wanted to, what do you care?!"
"Mike, c'mon" he said coldly "1. It's a bad idea; 2. It's a bad idea; 3. After she saw me, you think you have any chance?!"
Mike was loosing his natural kindness.
"I can't fucking believe that I was, at first, taking you seriously." He then ran out, slamming the door.
Precisely, you and Hanji were heading out, and you two looked at him dumbfounded.
