I shouldn't love him

"Ive changed ."

Later on that day Eren was setting up his bar and making sure everything was prepared before he opened up again.

Historia sat at the bar table and watched Eren clean off the counter for like the 3rd time. He seemed to be really picky about cleaning considering the fact that this is his second time cleaning the whole dining area.

"You've been cleaning for quite a while.. you do realize you've already cleaned this morning?"Historia mentioned and Eren stopped for a second to think.

"You're right.. I guess I did a shitty job because not everything was perfect."Eren put down his towel and looked over at Historia.

"You're such a clean freak."

Eren scoffed at that nickname. Remembering a very short someone who was obsessed with cleanliness."You should meet Captain..."

"Who's that?"

"My old caption."

"What do you mean captain? Were you a soldier?"

"I once was. Am no longer for many reasons."

"Really?!" Historia asked very invested. "What did you do?"

"I was in a secret squad.. we weren't really secret though cuz everyone knew of us. My Captain was fucking annoying, angry and short as hell." Eren looked up reminiscing those times. "We hung around the palace and carried out secret missions and protected the Kings well being. It was kind of fun.. I got paid very well."

Short man.. angry all the time..

"Levi Ackerman?" Historia said off the top of her head.

Erens face lit up at the mention of that name. "How do you know him?"

"Oh- well he's just.. a well know person I guess. Since he's a captain ya know. Haha.." Historia lied. She knew Levi, he was always one of the many guards for her when she went outside the palace.

"Sure.." Eren knew something was up with Historia but didn't care enough to ask her questions of her suspicious behavior.

Historia squinted her eyes at Eren trying to see if she recognized him. If he worked with Levi then they could have crossed paths many many times.

Eren walked over to the front door and opened it to make sure the porch area was clean. He walked back inside and sat behind the bar table across from Historia.

"So?" Historia questioned.

"So now we wait for it to be 3. That's when I open. You can go upstairs if you want."

"Do you want me here?"

"I don't really care, you aren't a nuisance, it would be rather convenient to have a beautiful young lady sitting around, maybe it will attract a few more customers and tips."Eren shrugged and poured himself a glass of water.

"So... yes?" Historia asked again and Eren sighed.

"I said I could care less-."

"I know what you said." Historia giggled. "You could have just said yes, you enjoy my company. Rather than giving me a whole speech."

Eren glared up at Historia then looked back down at his drink. Historia noticed his ears turned red and she couldn't but smile at that. She reached over and touch them."Your ears are really red."
