Cold Colours (EDITING)

The monsters that hide in the shadows 2.O

I sigh, leaning against the wood of my best friends back porch. It was a rather small thing, elevated off the ground massively with a staircase attached to one side so you could get down to the ground from the back.

Eren and (F/N) lived in a two story duplex, and their neighbors had recently moved. We were all glad, they never really let (F/N) and Eren do anything.

I am sure that if they had hung around this party would not be happening. At least not here... nevertheless it was, and nevertheless I was stuck hating the beer cans that littered (F/N)'s floor.

To put it simply... I'm against alcohol. My friends don't see the same as I do, however. Bat much is evident by the scene in front of me.

I had not just wondered out here to be alone and away from alcohol... I had wondered out here to watch those two.

Below me I watched in only slight horror as Jean and Marco sucked faces. By this point Jean had wrapped his arms around Marco and I was sure his hand was down the male's pants... but I couldn't be sure. If they pulled out their dicks... i would stop them. Marco and I have been great friends for a long time. I know him well enough to know he would hate Jean if they ended up sleeping together while wasted out of their minds.

But... he also loved Jean, but was too scared to do anything. Maybe having sex would help the poor dude?

Nah... he would kill me if he ever found out I let him do that.

But what if he never found out?

I chuckle slightly and shake my head, rubbing my tired eyes as I let my gaze shift up. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jean push Marco down to the ground, and... I simply turn. Let the two have their fun... and maybe they'll get somewhere after they wake up. Or... their friendship will be completely destroyed...

I turn back to the moon and sigh. Who am I kidding. Jean and Marco are soulmates... Marco had told me a few weeks ago. Explained how amazing seeing colors is... explained how amazing it was to have someone by your side who truly cares. Marco would forgive Jean, and their relationship would only get better without the boundary Marco was normally too scared to cross.

If only my soulmate had been the same as Jean... annoying but patient, stupid but smart, mean but caring...

When Marcos soft moans fill the air I scrunch up my nose, shaking my head and heading inside... they could at least get a room...

The glass door slams shut behind me, blocking out... that... as the warm lights beat down on my hair. I lean against the wall beside the glass door, meaning to block anyone who gets too close to going outside.

My eyes skim around the room, moving from one person to the next. Most were drunk... you could clearly make out the couples...

Erwin and Armin, Annie and Mikasa, Ymir and Christy, Eren and (F/N). Of course their were a few singles, me being one of them. All of us shared glances here and there. We all wanted to be away from the romance and the heated kisses, but had no way of getting around it.

Most pair up with another single and start to mingle. Even if they have no chance of going anywhere at least they weren't completely alone.

Me being me, however, decided I didn't want to stay at all. The alcohol was pulling at my senses and clouding my mind with its smell. The couples around me made me think of the day I had had. Eren and (F/N) kissing made me think of the friend I had lost... or at least now had to share.

With a sigh I push off the wall, pushing my way through the crowd of people. The wood seems to creak under the weight of so many people, and for a moment I wonder if this whole thing would fall down with us on top of it.

But no... it couldn't do that...

I push open the door to Eren and (F/N)'s room. In front of me sat a king sized bed with a black confortee thrown over it. On top was a simple design of two wings folded over, one blue and the other... silver? White? I wasn't sure. Either way, it was the sign of the company Eren worked at. The one that Levi controlled...

My eyes drop to my keys and I snatch them up. I had asked (F/N) to set my keys in here so I didn't have to carry them around, and she had been completely fine with it, as always. The cold metal feels familiar against my skin as I slip it into my pocket. I take one last look around the room before turning towards the door, only for a man to be standing in the way.

It only took me a moment to notice the eyebrows, and after that I knew exactly who this was. I nodded slightly in respect, apparently he was right below Levi in the company. My gaze falls upon his prosthetic arm... that would explain why.

"Erwin." I say with a nod as I stand up. I take a breath, about to ask him about the party and Armin when his booming voice cuts my mind off.

"You're planning on leaving?" He asks borderline coldly, looking down on me. Even if he was trying to be sort of quiet his vocal cords seemed to boom, his massive voice bouncing off of the walls and hitting me with force. He was definitely an intimidating man.

The deep voice knocked my brain off of its fragile railing, and it took me more than a moment to gain back it back.

"Ah, Well... Yes I am." I smile and reach behind me, rubbing my neck awkwardly. Erwin wa some of Eren's friends... I had definitely not talked to him before...

"You can't." He says bluntly, a frown on his face. I blink in confusion, his words marking my blood boil.

"What do you mean I can't leave? Erwin that is not your decision and you know that! Step aside, and go find Armin. You're much easier to deal with around him." I say with a huff, pushing past Erwin and making a B-like for the door.

As I pass Erwin, he follows me with his gaze, as though he had something to tell me... or he had to protect me.

"You're being hunted." He whispered softly, watching for my reaction as I slip by. I glance back at him only once in confusion as I head for the door. My anger falls away athis statement, leaving room for an icy chill to take its place.

Who just says that... without even thinking about it?

I take one glance back at the party as I leave... only for sea green eyes to meet my (E/C) ones. Our gaze connects for a moment, and in that moment all the warning and anxiety Eren seemed to feel transferred to me for a split second.

He was worried about something...

But why would I care about that? It's not my life.
