HATE ME ❙ Eren ✘ Reader

Hate me ║ Christmas bells

As the snow finally descended from the dark sky, my body was freezing out in winters prime—waiting for the door to open. My hands were icy cold and you can ask why I didn't wear any gloves.

The sound of christmas bells were ringing in the far off distance as footsteps started approaching the door, I was so damn scared.

"Grandma and grandpa! You're here!!" My body was flying down the stairs with exhilaration, seeing my beloved family enter the doors. This was the greatest gift in the whole world.

"Y/n dear-" I cut grandma off by engulfing her in a tight hug. Her arm were wrapped around my back immediately, laughing with tears in her eyes.

"I missed you so much!" I cried out, pulling away to dry my own eyes. I had missed my family so much since moving away from England. I didn't even realize it until my mother surprised me this morning, telling me that my grandparents had bought tickets.

I thought this was going to be the first Christmas I didn't get to celebrate with any family members.

"Now, give your grandma some time to breath Y/n" My mother came smiling into the hallway, giving grandpa a warm welcome.

"It's okay, the girl hasn't seen us for half a year" Grandpa opened his arms wide for me to jump in. "I missed you too kiddo" He ruffled my hair while I laughed longingly.

"It's been too long...I'm glad you could make it" I couldn't control my emotions, I was so overwhelmed and happy to see them. Being in this humongous house with only my parents, celebrating Christmas so lonely, I really dreaded the holiday this year.

But I was so lucky and blessed to have such a family.

"Welcome everyone!" My father suddenly walked in with his blinking sweater, wearing a rudolf head band that was blinking red and green as well.

"Dad!—You look ridiculous!" I laughed along with everyone else. I couldn't believe my own diplomatic father would think to pull this off. Let's say his creative side wasn't existing—I certainly didn't inherit my artistic side from him.

"Oh F/n honey, you always pull these Christmas carols" My mother's sweet voice rang throughout the room as my father reached her side, placing his arm across her waist.

"I have one for Y/n too, you're not getting away my lovely daughter~" My father teased, wrapping his other arm around my waist and squeezing me close while I protested.

"I-I'm not going to wear that!" I exclaimed, causing my whole family to laugh even louder. It was pure joy to be with them again. Even if my other family members such as my aunts and uncles couldn't make it this year, I still had someone to be with.

"I forgot how it felt like laughing with you again" My grandmother wiped the tears off her eyes, lips curing into a mellow smile.

"Well, laughing and eating is all in the plan today" My father asserted, moving to grab their luggages. "Welcome to our home" My father grinned softly, gesturing us to follow into the kitchen.

It truly was a blessing.

Christmas day continued with cozy blankets and drinking cocoa by the fireplace. We took a trip into the lively city, showing my grandparents all the beautiful buildings and attractions immersed with decorations and lights.

The trip gave me a chance to buy my favorite donuts, walking around with them brought back memories from the first time I and Floch talked. I wondered what he was doing—was he still angry with me and Eren?
