One night stand~
"I think I've made a mistake."
Eren's POV
When I got to the bar Armin was waiting for me. I greeted him with a hug as usual then we sat at the nearest table. Armin raised his hand at the bar tender and flipped up two fingers.
About five minutes later a waitress came over and sat down two beers.
"Thanks." I smiled at her. She blushed and walked away.
It's pretty dark in this particular bar. It's hard to tell whether it's to set the mood or if they just went over their electricity bill, but either way you get my point.
Armin glanced at me. "So tell me about the new job!"
"Oh well, I don't really know what to say... I mean I went to the interview and they just kind of.. Hired me?" I answered.
"Well I knew that, I'm not stupid. I meant more like: What kind of position? How's the pay?" He said snarkily.
"Oh, it's just some office work. Ya know filling and stuff. I'm pretty sure the pay is average..?" I laughed and scratched my head. "I guess I forgot to ask in the heat of the moment."
"Idiot.." Armin sighed.
Just then the little bells on the front door rang, a man walked in. He had short black hair and wore a plain expression. He was wearing a trench looking coat and a pair of jeans. He was pretty short...
Even though he held no significance to me I still felt a little... Nostalgic..? Like i'd seen him before.
No that's stupid... I looked back to Armin only to find him departing the table.
"I'm going to run to the bathroom. Be right back." He smirked and walked away. He left his keys and notebook on the table.
I sighed. Careless.
The notebook was actually more of a book of mind puzzles or something? He carries it around with him a lot, almost everywhere actually. Despite how he looks he's pretty smart. He enjoys solving puzzles that mess with his head. But only if he wants to otherwise he's basically useless.
I looked back at the man from before. He had taken off his coat and was siting at a table a few down from ours.
He was wiping down the table with a napkin at a fairly relaxed pace. Like he did it all the time. The waitress brought him a drink. Scotch maybe?? He looked old enough to like something like that. Either that or he had nothing better to do than drink all the time.
I pushed away my thought bubble. That's a little harsh... He probably just had a bad day or something.
Just then Armin returned. His expression had changed within the few minutes he was away. Gloomy-er.
"Something wrong?" I asked as he neared the table.
"Well no, I just got a call from my family, personal matters. You ok if I leave early?" He asked with a semi-troubled expression.
"Oh family stuff again? Ya no problem, we can celebrate another time." I answered cheerfully so he wouldn't feel too bad.
"You sure...?" He asked again.
"Ya ya, I'm kinda tired anyhow. don't worry about it." I reassured him.
"Alright cool. We'll celebrate some other time!" He managed to spit out as he ran out the door.
Oh well I guess it can't be helped. Lots of family illnesses with that one.
