Behind Closed Doors, Something Else Goes On

🚪 Chapter Twenty-three

Eren's POV:

Nothing is much better than waking up next to the person I love. I couldn't help but smile when I looked at my beloved wife.

I wonder what happened yesterday though. I can't seem to remember, but damn it! What I'm wearing right now is so fucking small--"Gaaaah!", I yelled in shock when I looked down my clothes.

"What is the problem, darling?", my wife asked in her sleepy voice.

"I can't get out of here. Help!", I pleaded. What is this shit? It looks like something a 5 or 6 year old girl would have!

She exclaimed in happiness, yelling, "You came back!", What did she mean by that? No--that can wait--help me now! Its hard to breathe...

She took a pair of scissors on the side table and helped me get out of this disaster! I was about to ask her about what exactly happened yesterday when a big hug came onto my chest. I didn't try to let go...not when she's crying!

Her soft sobs filled the room. Three words came out from her mouth, "I missed you."

I patted her head in attempt to show comfort. She wiped her tears and gave me the warmest smile I have ever seen.

"Good morning, darling!", she says. I greeted her back with an awkward smile. Why? Because I only realized how awkward we look like just now.

She was wearing a see thru shirt and a skirt while I'm here wearing as in nothing at all! I grabbed her skirt and wore it before running to the walk in closet. I'm a disgrace to nature. I know!

After changing into my boxers, I went downstairs to the kitchen. My stomach growls like hell, its starting to annoy me.

Peel peel here

Slice slice that

Chop chop this

Pour there

Stir stir keep stirring like a Professional Kitchener.

Kitchener? The fuck I'm talking about?

"Darling? Are you there?", I heard my wife call out from the dining.

"I'm in the kitchen!", shit, how can I forget about her in this situation?! I guess my hunger made me. My wife is a good cook. I'm a fake, this is fake.

I hurriedly covered the casserole and pushed everything else to the sink.

"What chu doin?", she asked. I just wan to wipe that smile off of her face as she walked closer.

"Uhh nothing. I was doing nothing really. No need to look over here.", I finished my lie with a forced smile.

"Ah, you were cooking? I see.", she said, tilting her head probably to see what I was hiding behind my back. I sighed. I'm a mess, real mess. My stomach's still growling.

I faced palmed before I heard her giggle. She pulled hand off my face and shook her head, "Oh, come on. Nothing's wrong with you cooking, darling."

I wanted to complain, but I know she didn't mean anything else with her words. Just then...

Knock knock KNOCK KNOCK

"Coming!", I answered before hurrying to open the door. What a violent way to knock over our door! I wonder who the fuck is it.

Ssss hhhh iiii tttt

I grimaced at the figure that was standing outside our door. I felt shivers down my spine just looking at Shinko. That scary creature shoved me off and let herself in like she owns the fucking house!

"Who is it, darlin---", that was my wife over the kitchen, shook. I'm still cringing and shivering over here. I can't focus on whatever the two are yelling about, to be honest. Well, I know that my wife hid herself behind my back, but the rest of the conversation don't seem to register.

"Sheeet! The noodles!!!!", Cactus ran to the kitchen, leaving Shinko and I in complete silence. I caught Shinko looking at me. Oh, spare my life. Thank good wife came back, but why is she scolding at us?

She began her yelling session and Shinko replied to her without a miss. Wait a sec. Kiss? What are these two talking about?!

"DON'T MOCK ME?! THEN WHAT THE HELL DO YOU AND LEVI DO?! RUN AROUND AND CHASE EACH OTHER?!", Cactus almost lashed out and I was quick to hold her wrist, in hope to calm her down.

"...How should I dispose the body?", there goes our scary Shinko, telling us that Sir Levi is sick.

"You can't kill Sir Levi that easy.", I said. Then she demanded, "Just give me an advice on how to cure a sick person!"

'Life without Levi is lonely, huh?' I let my wife's words sink in. Does that mean...

"I understand now. Shinko likes Sir Levi! She only pretends not to.", I said. My wife praised me and gave me a kiss. I opened my mouth in shock. I was caught off guard, that one's a foul!

"WHAT ON EARTH?!... Don't just kiss in front of me!", Shinko complained. What the hell?! Cactus kissed me without any preparation!

"Oh, sorry... I forgot about being child friendly.", Cactus apologized and picked up the newspaper on the coffee table. "Let us reenact the scene.", she covered our faces with the newspaper and Shinko immediately ran away.

"Hahaha! Did you just see that?", my wife laughed out loud, stepping away from me.

"That. Was. Not. Funny.", I told her, very disappointed with how she acted.

"Huh? Pfft!", She couldn't stop from chuckling till I dragged her body closer to me and I slammed my lips against hers. She had her mouth open from the sudden contact.

"Serves you right.", I told her before walking off to the kitchen.
