Better Off This Way: Eren Jaeger x Reader [MODERN]

~Chapter 21~

After my shower, I put on a red and black fitted striped t-shirt with a simple short black cardigan on top. I paired the look with some black jeans and black combat boots. I had also taken two front stands of my hair and pinned them back.

We hopped into Eren's black beat up old Chevy Camaro.
"Ah yes, the shit mobile." I chuckle.
"Hey it's all I could afford since Madeline was draining me like a money hungry shewolf." He chuckled as well.
"I'll pay for half the food-"
"NOPE! I'm doing this right." Eren interrupted.
"Fine, but I get to treat you to something at some point." I smiled.
"So.... where are we going?" I wiggle my eyebrows.
"I have the perfect place in mind." Eren smirked.

We slowly pull up to a corner bar called Pulps. There were posters of old B movies on the front windows. The posters that I could see were of Pulp Fiction, The Blob, The Room, and Night of the living dead.
As we entered I could immediately hear old music playing, Buddy Holly by Weezer to be specific. People were lounging around, drinking, eating, and reading.
"This place celebrates B movies and cheap under appreciated fiction!" Eren exclaims.
"Check out these comics!" He said excitedly. I noticed that each table had stacks of old novels and comics that were relatively unknown yet dazzling to behold.
"These stories are so terribly written, but they're so entertaining it's hard to put them down." He smiled.
"I....." I began, Eren's smile slowly faded.
".... Yes?" He says in tortured anticipation.
".... FRICKEN LOVE THIS PLACE!" I exclaimed.
Eren smiled.
"IT'S SO COOL, EVERYTHING IS SO CHEAP! LIKE OKAY- I COULD BUY HALF OF THESE BOOKS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL LIKE FRIGGEN ONE DOLLAR. AND LOOK, THE WAITERS ARE ALL DRESSED AS OLD MOVIE CHARACTERS AND OLD MUSICIANS! Look! There's Trash from The Return of the Living Dead! And look, there's Buddy Holly! Haha!" I ramble.
Eren chuckled. "Let's go sit down, shall we?" He gestured to a table in the corner.
"Aw, a corner table just for me? How sweet." I say as we walked towards our table.
We sat down and I noticed next to me was a poster of Critters 3 with young Leonardo Dicaprio's face beside the title. Oh, how I love him.
"Wow, sorry Eren. This is awkward." I smile awkwardly as I gestured to Leo, then back at Eren.
"Yeah wow there's a lot of competition here, I better bring my A game hey?" Eren chuckled.
I notice a book placed strategically on the table, it's name was Merry-Death with a picture of an alien girl and what seemed to be her friends and a cat on the cover.
"This book was terrible! There was a talking cat in it for crying out loud! But I loved it!" I laughed.
"Oh- oh wait! It's only a dollar, I'm buying this so I can make you read it. Eren you gotta read this." I add.
Suddenly, a waitress dressed as The Bride from Kill Bill approached our table.
Eren and I smiled at each other widely.
"Oh my gooooodd hahahahha!" I squeal under my breath as Eren clapped.
"You're dressed as The bride from Kill Bill, I love it!" Eren said with enthusiasm.
"It must be so great working here!"  I chirp.
"I've been dressing as a different character everyday for five years, I'm supporting three kids on this job. My life is a living hell. What can I get you?" The waitress replied.
"HAH! Your Bride like bitterness is seamless! I love it!" I smile.
"Uh- happy to oblige. What can I get you hun?" She asked plainly.
"So everything is in pulp. You can't get single plates or single drinks, everything is in pitchers and platters. Wanna get a pitcher of sangria and a platter of samplers? It has samples of everything." Eren asks.
"Oh my gosh! Um? Yes!" I cheer.
"Your order will be right up. Please enjoy your stay." And with that, the waitress walked away.
"How did you find this place?!" I ask with amazement.
"Uh- well.... to be honest with you... I sorta brought Madeline here on our first date to try it out but she hated it. She thought it was too dingy and nerdy." Eren replied.
"WHAT?! How could you not like this place?! This is like something you see in a dream! They sell VHS movies here for crying out loud!" I say, pointing to a wall filled with old movies.
"Well I'm glad you think so." Eren smiled.
"Hey, wanna play a game of pong while we're waiting for our food?" Eren asks.
"Whaaaaaat!" I smile as Eren gestures to a near by corner full of old arcade games.
