Pain and Recovery: An Ereri Fanfiction

Chapter 2: Pain and Recovery: Ereri Fanfiction

Eren buckled up once in the car and Mikasa turned to face him. Her same stoic expression as always. "So? How was it..?"

"Fine. Dr. Zoe suggested this group therapy session to go to. She also gave me a stronger depression medicine. But I think I might go to the session that's tonight. She said you guys can tag along if you want."

Armin beat Mikasa to replying first, "I would love to attend but I have a study session with Connie and Sasha. Maybe another night?"

Eren nodded and Mikasa spoke next, "I'll go with you tonight. See what type of people go." Eren rolled his eyes and Mikasa turned back around. The car backing out of the space and they headed back to their apartment.

After Eren had showered and they all are a quick snack, Mikasa and Eren waved bye to Armin and got in the car. The ride to Trost Academy was a silent one. The music on the radio being the only sound. They arrived in around 10 minutes and Mikasa parked. He got out and walked into the building. Mikasa followed quietly. They went down a hallway and entered the room with noise and lights on. There was a bunch of chairs positioned in a circle and there was roughly 13-15 people here. Eren walked over to two empty seats and sat down. Mikasa taking the other one. He glanced around at the different people. A tall, broad shouldered blonde guy, a tall freckled guy with dark brown hair, someone Eren swore he recognized who was talking with the freckled guy, a few people that he didn't take notice in looking too much at but when he finally made it back around the circle his eyes landed on the man across from him. Silver eyes boring straight back into Eren's vibrant green ones. He was short. He could tell just from him sitting there but he didn't look like a skinny weak guy either. He looked strong and muscular but still thin. He had black hair with an undercut and pale, pale skin. And a neutral rather rude look on his face. They were still staring at each other before Eren finally blushed and looked away down into his lap. He could still feel the other man's eyes on him.

Much to Eren's surprise Hanji walked in and took a seat too. Right next to the guy with the silver eyes. She laughed and giggled with him for a minute or two before standing and clearing her throat before speaking. "Hello everyone. I'm Hanji and this Trost Group Therapy. Why don't we all start by saying our name, age, why we're here and something interesting about ourselves. I'll start. I'm Hanji. I'm 29, I'm here because I lead the group, I love investigating the unknown." She sat and looked to the man siting next to her.
"I'm Levi. I'm 29. I'm here for depression and I hate people."
"I'm Erwin. I'm 30. I'm here to observe. I am the commander of police force here at Trost."
The freckled guy spoke next, "I'm Marco. I'm 22. I'm here to support, Jean. And I'm studying to become a nurse."
Jean spoke next and Eren watched him. Jean..Jean.. "I'm Jean. I'm 22 as well. I'm here for anxiety and I'm a new police officer under Commander Erwin." A few other people spoke and then it was Mikasa's turn. "Mikasa. 22. I'm here for Eren. I'm an orphan." And then it was Eren's turn.
"I'm Eren. I'm 21. I'm here for anxiety and depression. I work at a coffee shop." And it was back to Hanji. She smiled and everyone sat back down again.
"Okay! Great guys. Now. You can go ahead and begin the share circle. We talk about our latest issues and such and other people give advice or insight. Go ahead and start."
Eren wasn't paying attention as the share circle started. But he /could/ feel someone's eyes boring into him. He glances up and low and behold it was Levi. They made eye contact again and Eren held it this time. Why was Levi staring at him so much? God. This was weird. Eren eventually broke eye contact and decided to look anywhere but him. An hour passed smoothly and Hanji stood again. "Well thanks for coming guys. I hope to see you all on Wednesday. You're dismissed." And she turned around to gather her jacket and stuff.
Everyone else gathered their things and packed up to leave. Eren and Mikasa did the same. But as Eren was leaving, "Oi, brat." Someone tapped his shoulder. Eren turned it was Levi.
"Yes?"
Levi removed his hand. "Have you and your sister eaten yet?"
Eren raised an eyebrow. "No. Why?"
Levi's voice was laced in sass. "Well, I was wondering if you two wanted to tag along with Erwin, Hanji, and I to go eat?"
Eren blinked. Huh. "I uh.. Okay. Yeah that's fine."
"Good. Meet us at the 63 diner." He winked and walked off to his friends. Weird. Eren turned to leave and caught up with Mikasa.
"What did he want?"
"He invited us to dinner with him and his friends at 63 diner. I told him we would join them."
"Hmm. Okay." She continued walking as they went outside and towards the car.
