Behind the Elevator Doors [Riren/Ereri]

Chapter 1

Beep Beep.  The sound of the alarm makes Eren groan as he sits up. He looks over at his alarm clock and sighs. He then quickly remembers what today is. It's my first day!  Eren quickly gets out of bed and rushes to the bathroom. He turns on the shower and starts preparing for work. When he steps in the shower, entering a nice, steamy sensation prickling down his back, he couldn't help but sing in the shower. 

A few moments later once Eren is done with his shower and tidied up in his suit, he brushes his teeth and fixes his hair. Mikasa walks in staring Eren down. 

"What are you up to?" She asks as she leans herself on the side of the doorway. Mikasa, Eren's adopted sister, lives with Eren alone as they recently had to leave their parents. Eren looks over at Mikasa with a bubbly smile, teeth showing. 

"I have my first day at the publishing company, you know, the one I couldn't stop talking about?" He says as he rushes out of the bathroom to grab his brief case. 

"Oh you mean that company you always talk about in your sleep?" She asks as she sits on Eren's bed, watching him pace around the room collecting his things. She couldn't help but smile as she watches her brother being so excited about his first day. Eren grabs his keys and look over at Mikasa.

"Yeah that company. I'll be back around 5:30 for dinner. Make sure you tell me when you leave the house." Eren says as he grabs door handle the opens his bedroom door. Mikasa nods and smiles as Eren walks out of the door. 

Eren walks down the stairs of his apartment building into the parking garage. He unlocks his car and settles himself on the driver seat. As Eren is driving to the publishing company, he notices he gets more nervous each second while he keeps driving. In fact, he was so nervous, he almost lost track of where he was going because he couldn't stop thinking about his first day. Come on, Eren, it's just the first day. It can't be that bad. He finally pulls up in front of the tall building,  glass lined up everywhere on the outside. Glass doors with gold handles and a freshly, clean printed logo on each door. Eren walks up to the door and opens it. As soon as he walks in, cold air sweeps over him. The building is filled with white and cream marble. The front desk with Ackerman Publishing  plastered on the back wall behind the receptionists. Huge glass chandeliers above him, sparkling with light. Eren timidly walks over to the front desk. The lady looks up and smiles. 

"May I help you?" She asks as her big hazel eyes stare down at Eren. Usually guys would be swooned over her beauty, but Eren wasn't easily swooned. By women at least. 

"Y- yes, uhh.. I'm Eren Jaeger, the new intern here?" Eren stutters and clears his throat after he realizes he's showing his agitation. She looks back at her computer, clicking away searching the list. She then smiles and stands.

"May you take care of the front desk as I show this man around?" She asks another woman and she nods. She then walks out behind the desk and leads me to the elevator. 

"I'm Petra Ral, the desk clerk. Usually I help the boss with a few of his meetings as I am also his Secretary. I know it's a bit confusing, but I get bored of sitting in my office waiting for an assignment, that's all." Petra explains as she presses the elevator button, waiting for its appearance. Eren nods and smiles slightly trying to keep his cool. 

"What about you Mr. Jaeger?" She asks in a polite tone. The elevator doors open and they both step in silently.

"Please, call me Eren," He says, giving a friendly introduction, "I'm just the new intern here. I was able to get a spot from recognition of the college I graduated from last year." Eren responds smoothly as he stares at the light. She smiles once more and walks out of the elevator. Eren follows and looks around at all the journalists he dreams to be. Petra leads him to the lounge and shows him the coffee.
