Eren's POV

I wake up on the couch, music still playing in the background and with the worst hangover I have ever had.  Picking up my phone I try to find Hanji's number, "Eren, whats up?" "Hi, Hanji I'm not feeling to well, so I don't think I'll be able to come into work for the week." I really do sound sick, with my hoarse and quiet voice. "That's fine Eren, Levi will be upset that he can't spend anytime next you. Hope you get better soon. See you." Only if you knew Hanji, our current situation. Throwing my phone to the other end of the sofa, I get up to make myself a fatty breakfast.  I pull out butter, eggs and bacon. Placing them into the pan the sweet smell of cooking wakes up my senses. Well I have a whole week off to do as I please, maybe I'll go for a walk today. My heavy breakfast slightly helped with my hangover, but I still felt dead inside. This feeling isn't as bad, it suits my current feelings quiet well. Before leaving I check the time and see it is 12.00pm. 

The cool breeze feels nice against my warm skin. It seems winter is approaching quicker then I'd thought. The streets are quiet with only a few people in cafes.  This is the atmosphere I like, peaceful and quiet. Everyone wearing jeans, boots, coats, scarfs and gloves. People holding cups of coffee while they speak to a neighboring boyfriend or friend. It's an enchanting atmosphere, walking down the street I stop by a cafe to buy a coffee and continue on my journey. I spot a bookstore and see a familiar book out the front. To be precise I think Levi had this book on his bedside table. I buy it with the reason that it looks interesting. Continuing on my peaceful walk down the road I come to a stop at a park. Picking a seat as far away as I can get, I sit down and open up my book. It is an interesting story, about a boy who had nothing and was saved by another boy. His parents took this boy in and treated his as a son. When both the brothers grew up the poor boy got a better job them the rich boy and had many things that the rich boy didn't have. With the addition of a girl and some fighting we all know what would happen in such a story. However the poor boy kills his parents who took him in, taking all their wealth and assets. I didn't realize I had finished the book until I had turned all the pages over including the hard cover, and I was looking at the blurb. Looking up from the novel  I realize how considerably dark it has gotten. Checking my pockets for my phone to see the time, I must have left it on the kitchen bench. Making my way back home, the streets have become considerably more busy. I walk into a bar and decide to get a few drinks. I look around the busy room full of people enjoying their Monday night. That means work would be on right now and Levi will be working. I get up from my seat and make my way out, when I see Erwin walking with someone next to him. Levi would have to be working tonight as no one else can work at the bar. Walking faster out of the bar I see him walking with his arm around a guy with wavy brown hair. This guy is more taller and skinnier then Levi, but isn't he going out with Levi. I can't text Levi about this or he will know I'm not sick, or he might just think i'm plain stupid. Well it isn't like this affects me. I walk the opposite way back home.

The warmness of air that brushes my skin as I walk into my single story house warms me up. I must have left the heating on. Oh well, closing the door I walk down the hall and go into my study on the right. Placing the recently purchased book on my book shelf, I leave and make my way to my room at the back of the house. There are no neighbors behind me except the view of trees and a pond. When I bought this house the one thing that got my attention was the view, my bedroom wall has full length windows which looks onto the scenery. Putting my jacket away and making my way to the bathroom to have a shower before making dinner. 

I decided to make something quick and easy with leftovers that can last me the next few days, so I went with pasta. Turning the TV on I decide to watch a movie, I don't know what it is but I'll watch it to pass time.  After cleaning up after dinner I walk over to the couch, grab a blanket and continue watching.
