HATE ME ❙ Eren ✘ Reader

Hate me ║ F.M.L

Oh here it comes, the time where we had to set up a freaking play. It really was a mixture of chaos. Our class knew absolutely shit! We knew nothing, we were so dry in this area it was ridiculous.

We had those athletes, Jean, Mikasa, Annie, Reiner and you know the whole bunch. And then we had those few people who were interested in other things like cooking, art like me and down that hallway. But believe it or not, none of us had any clue about how to set up a play.

The date was set for December 20th which was on a Friday. After that, we had Christmas break for two weeks.

We had measly two months to prepare and set everything up. Yes, most of the time was spent outside of school but as the date neared, we got more free time during classes and stuff.

The day of the first election was stressful. We had to find the perfect pair who could play Rapunzel and Flynn. Since it was high school, they decided to use the Disney characters, but the real storyline from brothers Grim.
Good luck to the prince who had to fall into bushes and get blind.

And guess who got the main roles?

Jean and Mikasa.

Yeah. Yeah.

I would have never fucking guessed.

Well, Jean was actually pretty good at acting. He was all in for it, but Mikasa? She was like too aloof, too nonchalant and didn't give a shit. But she was elected and she's didn't protest.

Sasha and Connie were assigned to fix the lighting and music with a bunch of other people, so I didn't see them much around. Ymir was a part of the scripting team along with Historia and Armin. They made sure that everyone knew their lines and fitted them into the play.

While I was just a helping hand. I was assigned to the stage decorations and backstage assistant. Guess who was working with me? Eren.

Because Eren was just as useless when it came to these things, we got partnered up.

I had just finished setting up some stream lights when a voice spurred behind. "Do you need any of those with green streams?" Eren asked as I was standing on a ladder.

"No I think we're fine, Sasha and Connie have to turn them on so we can see if they match the scenery" I started stepping down, coming to face with Eren who was holding another box in his arms.

"We have to put these up as well" Eren gestured to the stash inside his box and I groaned. This was exhausting.

"N-No stop! It doesn't want to shut!" Jean yelled as I and Eren made it to the front of the stage. He was trying to put on his costume shirt, but it looked like the buttons didn't fit his form.

"Hah!" Eren threw his head back with a little laugh, "Jean, you look like an idiot"

Oh crap!

I had to hold in my snickers when Jean forcefully snapped his head towards us, "Shut the fuck up Eren! You wanna try this stupid costume!?" Jean snared with a deathly glare.

"J-Jean calm down now, I can fix it if you're just a little patient" Marco tried to give him an amiable smile, moving to try and help him.

"Hey! How's it going with the costumes?" Another girl stepped in who was in charge of the play. Her name was Aria and she was a second-year working for the acting club.

"It's going like shit!" Jean shouted back without any hesitation. He was very brave.

"Well, fix it! We're shooting the first part very soon! Are the final props set up?" Aria shifted her attention towards me and Eren who froze on our spots.
