Stand By Me (Eren x Reader AU)

Chapter 3 - Feelings?

Hiya! So this is more like how Eren develops feelings for Reader more than Reader developing feelings for Eren. Like there's like a little hint of Reader liking Eren, but A LOT of Eren liking Reader. Okay? Okay 😊

Eren's Pov:

I arrived at school on Friday to see that (Y/n) and Reiner had arrived earlier than usual. That's weird. They usually get as much sleep as they can.

I suddenly get a text on my phone and looked at it.

Hey Eren! Why don't you invite (Y/n) for dinner tonight? We haven't seen her in a while! - Mom

I stuffed my phone back in my pocket and sighed. Why were my parents obsessed with (Y/n), anyway? I get that she's been my friend for the longest time...but I still don't understand.

"EREN-SENPAI!" I turn around and see a horde of fangirls coming my way. Oh shit.

"SAVE HIM, (Y/N)!" I heard Armin shout. Huh? Armin? (Y/n)? What the hell is happening?

(Y/n) was now in my view. She stood in front of me with her arms outstretched in a protective manner, causing the other girls to stop in their tracks. But my thoughts traveled to somewhere new today.

One of my thoughts was on her (h/c) hair. How it was neatly pulled into a ponytail held by the Wings of Freedom ponytail holder. And how soft it was to the touch. Yes I may have touched her hair once or twice...and I find myself wanting to touch it more.

Some of my other thoughts traveled to her (e/c) eyes. How they sparkled in the sunlight and how they were filled with determination at the moment to give me relief of fangirls. I can't help but feel special that her attention was towards my well-being.

But overall, my thoughts are on how beautiful she is. That she was not afraid to speak her mind, how she doesn't care who gives a damn about her and who doesn't, and she focuses on what truly matters. (Y/n) would be one hell of a keeper.

"Hey girls, Reiner and Bertholdt were just changing by their lockers. Might want to take a look before they finish." (Y/n) taunted.

The girls screamed before running back into the school, causing the both of us to sigh in relief. "Thanks, I guess that's another one I owe you." I said.

"Relax Eren. You don't owe me anything. We're best friends." (Y/n) grinned while punching my arm playfully. But I wish we could be something more...wait...what the hell?!

"Right. Anyway, my parents are wondering if you'd like to come over for dinner." I told her. "Oh, sure! Sounds like fun! I haven't seen Carla and Grisha in a while. Why don't you invite me over more often anyways? You usually invite yourself over to my house." She joked. 

"It's not like you have a problem with it." I smirked. She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Come on, let's go to class."

*Timeskip*

Reader's Pov:

"Hey Reiner, I'm going to Eren's for dinner." I called out to him over the fangirls. It was now after school, and I was meeting Eren by his bike so we could go to his house together.

"The noob finally invited you over?! Good! Have fun!" Reiner called back. I raised my eyebrows at him before shrugging and making my way to the bike lot.

When I reached my way to the bike lot, I saw that Mr. Ackerman was on duty. He was kind of cool, but get on his bad side and your worst nightmare will come true. Also his resting stoic face scares the shit out of everyone. Fair warning.

I walk over to Eren's bike which had Eren sitting on the seat with Eren's bag resting on one of the back basket. "Hey (Y/n)." Eren greeted.

"Hey Eren. So what do your parents have planned for tonight?" I asked as I placed my bag with Eren's. "Who knows. You know how they are. It can go from a night with movies to a full blown party." He said while shrugging.

I chuckled while nodding until we heard someone cry out.

I turned around while Eren looked past me to see Mikasa looking at us in horror. Oh great, Mikasa.

"Eren! You said you were going to walk me home!" Mikasa whined. (Mikasa's ooc, yolo, fight me 😂)

"When have I ever said that?" Eren asked. "Yeah, he doesn't even like you, Mikasa." I added.

She glared at me. "My bag belongs where yours is placed." She stated. Is she like, three? "Oh, what? Your bag has a reserved spot, now? Guess what?"

Without thinking, I sat on Eren's lap, making both Eren and Mikasa surprised at my actions. "This spot is reserved. Go cry to Jean, he seemed to be very interested in you, and for some reason, you had enough time on your hands to suck his dick."

She scowled before pulling me off of Eren. "Woah, hey! Mr. Ackerman! Mikasa is acting up!" Eren called.

Mikasa tried kicking me, but I grabbed her ankle and flipped her to where she landed on her stomach.

When I got her on the ground, Mr. Ackerman had arrived and restrained Mikasa from me. "Tch. Nicely done, (L/n). I see that you pay attention to my self-defense classes. Keep up the good work."

He walks away with Mikasa struggling in his grip, causing me to sigh and turn towards Eren. "Eren, I'm sorry I-huh?"

Eren enveloped me in a bone-crushing hug. I sighed as I began to drown in his scent, wrapping my arms around his torso. What is this feeling? It's probably from all the rush of events

"You did what you had to do, and I'm proud of you for sticking up for the both of us. Come on, let's go to my house." Eren said. I nodded in agreement.

That's a wrap! Introducing girly Mikasa 😂
