I arrived at Shinganshina about three in the morning. The walk from the station to the apartment took about twenty minutes.
After I arrived home, I took a quick shower and dried myself, and put on some clean clothes.
Then flopping into the comfort of my bed, shutting my eyes. Since I couldn't care any less with my half wet hair, I almost instantly drifted to dreamland.
That night, I dreamed about it again...
It was the same as the other ones -The beach, the sea, the full moon, and that man -All of it.
But this time there was something more to it.
There was a slightly familiar scent, but I couldn't remember where have I smelled it before.
It was sweet, yet soothing. It was calming, just like the ocean.
I know it sounded weird, But there's no better way to described it.
The scent was like a drug to me.
When I looked into the ocean, that man was still there. But still, I couldn't see his face. It was all a blur.
Suddenly, I was woken up by the sound of the alarm.
My eyelids were heavy and I squinted as the sunlight pierced through my eyes.
I rubbed my eyes as they adjusted with the light. Stretching my arms and legs which was a habbit.
I got up to a sitting position on my bed, searching for my phone with my heavy eyes.
Failed to locate it, I got up, deciding to eat breakfast first.
Looking for the only breakfast I have, Cereal, but failed to find it again. I Looked at the clock. It was 10:28 am. And it was saturday, so Armin would be at home and would be already awake.
I got back to my room and came out again after getting ready. I sort of made a mess out of my room, just to find my phone, which was hiding in yesterday's pants.
I got my uniforms in the bag, and my wallet in my jacket's pocket. I locked the door of the apartment and texted Armin, informing him that I'm gonna go there to steal some of his food.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at the baby blue beach house, greeted by the blond who was reading a book at the kitchen counter.
"Good Morning," He said without looking away from his book.
"Morning," Gave him a peck on the forehead, Its like a family thing ,I suppose. He was more of a little brother to me and Mikasa, than just a mere childhood friend.
Breakfast was served and was still warm. He made the sausages and scrambled eggs just the way I like it.
After finishing it, I washed the dishes. It was an unspoken rule, Last one to finish cleans it.
He had moved to the living room, while I was washing. Still on his book, when I joined him with a cup of coffee in hand.
"So, Are you gonna tell me?" He said,
"Hmm? Tell you what?" Asking what he meant,
"About your 'friend'.." He give me a glance from his book,
"What friend?.." I was still in a morning dazed,
"You know, the one that.." He was interrupted by a melody of a music box. And at the same time I felt my left pocket vibrates.
I shifted my sitting possition so I could reach to my pocket. There was a call. I looked at the caller id. I pick up the call, as it shows 'Danchou' on the screen.
"Hello?"
"Eren?" I could hear Danchou clearly despite the noisy background where he's at.
"Yes, Danchou-san?" I asked while I gestured an apology to Armin, he noded with understanding.
"I just wanted to inform you that you don't need to come tonight. I'll be closing the bar temporarily." He sounded really busy.
"Is everything alright with the bar, sir?" I begun getting worried about it.
"Ah, Yes, yes.. I just need to go to a business trip, and it could be a long one." He explained,
"Oh.." I didn't realize I let out a sigh of relief,
The bar was one of the places I like, So I was abit shocked when he said about closing.
"Thank you for the concern, though." He let out a little laugh when he caught the sound of my sigh,
"Ah! um.. n-no problem..?" I was a bit embarrassed being caught worried for nothing.
"Haha.. Well then, That's all that I need to tell you. When I get back from the trip I'll inform you and the rest of the staff. Just treat it like a vacation for all of you." I could imagine Danchou smilling while saying these,
"Yes, sir."
"Alright then, I'll see you all when I get back." with that he ended the call,
I let out a sigh again,
"Is everything alright, Eren?" The blond asked, he had put down his book and grabbed a glass of orange juice to drink.
"Yeah.. the bar would be closed temporarily, So I won't be going to work at the Bar until Danchou-san comes back." I scratched the back of my neck,
"At least, You could get plenty of rest! Your health were unstable recently.." He looked at me with concern.
"I'm alright, Armin." I assured him with a smile, I patted his head when he showed an unsure expression and stayed silent.
"I need to get going. I'll stay over today, okay?" I only receive a nod from him, as I finish the coffee.
I grabbed my bag near the entrace and slid into my shoes.
"I'll be back around five.. I'll contact you if anything happens, So don't worry okay?" I said to the shorter blond, who followed me to the entrance.
". . .Okay" he said with a small voice, he still got a worried look on him.
"Then see you later," I ruffled his hair before exiting the door.
I closed the door and walk away from the small beach house. Looking up to the clear blue sky.
I don't like it when people worry about me.
It makes me feel.. guilty.
