Chapter 6

Enjoy the crap... oh gad...

----

You stared at the brunette with a plain and shy expression on your face. Knowing it was him, you simply bowed your head down since you don’t know what kind of reaction you are going to show. You felt Eren walk towards you. “Guess you found the second to the last man who held the rose, eh?” Second to the last? What did he mean? Hanji clearly stated that you must have 6 roses. There’s another one?!

“Eren, wait… what do you mean? I… I thought there were only six roses? I mean… Hanji told me there are 6 of them!” That said, you were confused… but Eren took your hand and planted a gentle kiss on it and laughed. “No. There are seven, and this is merely the sixth. It was Hanji’s intent to simply confuse you.” He gave you a rose which is colored in lavender. Oh, what on earth does it mean? You thought. Eren smiled, and held you in his arms, as he danced you. “If you are wondering what this color means… Lavender colored roses just means that I fell in love with you at first sight, [name].”

The both of you swayed, and he had your hand held tight with his own. Your fingers aren’t intertwined, but he held you like how a couple holds each other in a dance. “[name]… can you do me a favor, and sway with me?” Of course, as a response, you nodded and said you will. He smiled and bowed his head down, and then he started to sing.

“Waiting for your call, I’m sick, call I’m angry, call I’m desperate for your voice. Listening to the songs we used to sing, in the car, do you remember, Butterfly, Early Summer… it’s playing on repeat… just like when we would meet… like when we would meet.”

His voice was soft, but it was calm, cold and enticing. You can feel his warm breath in your ears as he danced you while you both swayed. Your feet was losing track, but he was there to guide you.

“I was born… to tell you I love you… and I am torn…. To do what I have to….To make you mine, stay with me tonight.”

The both of you continued to sway, and Eren started to talk. “You love this song, you know? You usually sang it with him and me. The three of us usually sang this together when we were friends.”

You simply bowed your head down as you blushed. “So… you aren’t the one? You aren’t the man who is aliased ‘Your Last Rose’?” Eren shook his head as a simple response, but he still kept his smile on his face. “I’m not.”

“Then why did you not tell me?” You asked.

“He actually ordered me to do this. Well, he wanted me to do anything I want so he could see what kind of move you are going to make. As he assumed, you acted the same way like when we all first met. Another thing is that he wanted to keep this secret up to this day… and his cover has not been busted. Jean and the others did a pretty good job on acting… you know?”

You just bowed your head. “You guys are mean… I mean… I thought it was you… you told me before… you’d give me thirteen roses. I know, roses mean something… really! It involves affection! I know!”

Eren laughed. “[name], my dear… you’re doing this all over again.” He said. “You also thought I was the one who gave you a bundle of roses. And honestly saying [name], you deserve him much more than I do. I love you [name]…  you’re beautiful, you’re kind, you’re everything to me… but the sad truth for me is that I can’t take you away from a man who’s much more capable of taking care of you. I am much more content in seeing you happy. And thirteen roses simply mean a secret admirer. I’ve been acting like one since the beginning. ‘Your Last Rose’, as you say, asked me to confuse you. I kind of felt guilty about this, but he said it’s going to be fine. Convinced it’s not me anymore?”
