Cold Colours (EDITING)

Long drives and hopeless parties 2.O

"...(Y/N)... you heard him, he'll come around eventually..." Eren mutters softly from beside me.

The car was moving slowly amongst the others, Eren in the drivers side and me beside him as he didn't trust me to drive. My gaze trails over the buildings of the city, not even daring to look over at Eren.

"Just give him time, okay?" Eren glances over at me, frowning. "He doesn't deal with that kind of stuff well..."

After a few moments of nothing, I sigh; not wanting to listen to him. I had just found my soulmate... the one I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with...

And he just blew me off. Just like that. Like a fly buzzing around your house; a pest.

"I won't leave you alone for the rest of your life (Y/N)."

Even as I run through everything angrily in my mind, I can't bring myself to completely trust myself. He rejected me, but with the promise that he would come for me later...

Why?

What is keeping him from his soulmate? I wasn't sure, all I know is I want to cling desperately to idea that Levi might actually come back...

I didn't want to be alone for the rest of my life.

"I... I believe you..." My haze travels over to Eren, who looks back at me with a smile before turning back to the road.

"He... He has his own reasons for making you wait. Just trust him, that's the best thing you could do now." Eren explains softly, his eyes flickering between the road and me.

I sigh and turn back to the window, not wanting to stare at a Eren for longer than I had to. Jealousy tends to run wild when I'm around him.

"His own reasons? What the hell is that supposed to mean..." I sigh and lean against the side of my car, sadness suddenly rushing over me to replace the anger. I was stuck between being mad at Levi for the rejection or sad because I was going to be alone for an unknown amount of time.

Eren chuckles, smirking darkly. He doesn't dare look over at me, seemingly... hiding something?

"You don't want to know (Y/N)... you just... you don't want to know." He says quietly, turning the car onto the road to his apartment. "Let's just say... Levi has something to hide."

I look over at Eren, tilting my head. Levi was Eren's boss... and he seemed to know what he was talking about...

"Do... you have something to hide too?" I ask softly, my brain trying to poke and pick. Curiosity had always been one of my weaknesses, the need to know everything leading to me finding out things that I really didn't want to know.

Eren snorts, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turn red, and then purple, and finally white. "Yes (Y/N)... I have something to hide. Something perhaps a little worse than what Levi is..."

...

Almost as soon as Eren stops the car and steps out I notice something off. The apartment was the same as always, my car in the same place as it always is... but...

"You guys were planning something weren't you?" I ask with a raised brow, looking around at the many cars parked in the small parking lot. Eren and (F/N) don't tend to get many visitors, and even if they do, they never come all at once.

Eren looks back at me, shaking his head slightly with a small smile. "No! Never, we haven't planned anything!"

"Oh really? The sarcasm in your voice is very convincing." I say with a chuckle, watching Wren closely as he walks towards his apartment. I stick my hands in the pockets of my jackets as I walk, the cold nipping at my skin. I always tended to be cold, the lack of sunlight from the dark grey clouds overhead really didn't help much.

"Just act surprised okay? (F/N) tried really hard for this." Eren mutters the last part, his head hanging as he sprints up the few stairs to his room. I follow suit, the room and pathway as familiar to me as the back of my hand. (F/N) had lived here for years, and Eren had moved in with her after they had found out about... that...

Now don't take that the wrong way, Eren makes a lot of money. I mean... a LOT of money. Both (F/N) and I were very surprised when we found out just how much he made. Most people with a job like his made at most half the amount he does.

When asked about why he made so much money, he only claims that his boss is a nice person... and that his skills are irreplaceable...

Even thinking of the cocky smirk he sent us as he explained that made me roll my eyes.

Eren turns to me and, with a smile, pushes open the door and steps aside. I watch him, nodding as I pass.

"SURPRISE!" My body shots back in true surprise at the shouts, my eyes widening as my friends came into focus. Even though I had been expecting something like this... being shouted at still surprised you sometimes...

"W-wow..." I mutter softly, regaining my balance and my brain for only a second before I am engulfed in a hug.

"(Y/N)! Oh I'm so glad you're here, I've been planning this for a few weeks now! We all thought you deserve a little break!"

"Yeah (Y/N)! You're so down all the time, it's not good for you." One of my few friends, Armin, spoke up with a smile. His boyfriend Erwin gave a curt nod from behind the smaller male. That was about as good as anyone ever got from him...

"Guys... you didn't have to do this..." I mutter and hug (F/N) tightly. Eren came up behind me and places a hand on my shoulder.

"You needed it (Y/N). We could all see that." He says softly, smiling down at me. Even is Eren was a newer friend of mine, he was still always so nice to me. Why? I'm not sure. However he seemed to be even softer about everything now. Pity perhaps?

"You guys I-"

"Hey that's enough of the sad stuff, this is a party!" (F/N) pulls away from me and holds at arms length. "A party for my best friend, who I.... who I've been treating badly for a few weeks now. I'm sorry (Y/N)..."

"Oh (F/N)... it's ok." I whisper softly, hugging my best friend once more before pulling away and smiling at all the guests.

"Now then... let's get on with this party shall we?"
