All A Joke (Eren X Reader) {Modern AU}

Y/N POV

So I'm out with my dad now and I guess my mom and him aren't doing so well. He says he doesn't want to divorce her but that it seems like eventually it'll be going down that road. Its unfortunate but all they really do is argue.

It was nice to spend time with my dad though. There aren't many times where I get to hang out with him so any opportunity there is I try and spend time with him.

I much prefer the company of my dad than my mom. My dad actually puts in effort to try and talk with me when we have the chance. My mom sorta just blows me off and doesn't really want to speak with me, or at least that's how it seems.

I care about my dad and want the best for him. And I don't think that my mom is the best for him. Even if she is my mom.

When me and my dad go back home, I shower and do some more homework while waiting for my hair to dry. My dad had gone into his office when we cane home saying he had to finish some thing up before bed.

As I was doing my homework I had gotten a text from Armin asking if I wanted him to look over my essay before Friday. I told him there was no need that he had his own essay to worry about. I just couldn't bring myself to accept his help. He has his own assignment to worry about and doesn't need to worry about mine.

The next morning I had woken up kind of early. So I had time to get up and get ready for school with time. I got my outfit together and checked around to make sure I put all my supplies and homework back in my bookbag before heading downstairs.

I decided to pop some frozen waffles in the toaster for breakfast. And both of my parents weren't home. I know my dad left for work already but I have no idea where my mom is honestly. Whatever I guess.

I was heading off to school and it had rained badly through the night. There were puddles around and as I was walking down the sidewalk to school drivers were careful to not drive fast over the puddle of water on the street. You know, common courtesy. You see someone walking on the side walk and you don't go so fast where the water will go all over them.

I was near the school and a driver decided to speed through a puddle to wet me. I was beyond pissed. I already walked 15 minutes and was pretty much at school. I stood there feeling all types of emotions, anger, shock, sadness, embarrassment. I mean what do I do.

Do I go back home and just call it a day?

Do I just accept what happened and go to class?

I cant call either of my parents to bring me a change of clothes.

This is just so embarrassing. I was about to turn around and head home to call it a day but then I hear someone call our my name.

"Y/N!! Are you ok?? These jackass drivers don't know how to drive carefully with pedestrians out." It was Jean. He ran up to me to make sure I was ok. Ans I was soaked.

"I know. I was just about to head home just because I am not trying to be I'm school with wet clothes all day. It would suck." I said to Jean. I really just wanted to go home and call it a day. I was starting to get cold from being out there and from being wet.

"Oh god, are you close by?"

"Its a 15 minute walk. I'll be ok"

"I'm just down the street. I think it'll be quicker. You'll catch a cold if you stay in those clothes too long. Is that fine with you?" I nodded to him and he led the way. I was getting colder and colder. It wasn't this cold yesterday. I felt my clothes sticking to me and I hated it.

We reached his house and there was no one there. I assumed his parents were at work and if he had siblings they were at school. Which made me realize, I have been friends with him for some time and I know nothing of his home life and I am in his house right now.

"You can borrow some of my clothes while we put yours to wash and you shower. Does that sound like a plan?" I was hesitant just because I had never been in a spot like this. I trust him and all but this is so new to me.

"Hey... I'm not gonna hurt you. Those weren't my intentions when bringing you here. I'm helping out a friend" he spoke softly and kindly smiled at me. I relaxed, apologized and then agreed to his offerings.

He had gotten me one of his hoodies and a pair of his pajama pants. They were kind of big on me but they were comfortable.

Jean and I had talked while my clothes were washing. I had asked him about his home life. I learned that he was an only child and that both of his parents work. Him mom was a nurse and his dad was an accountant for a company. He enjoys being an only child for the most part.

Then we talked about my home life. I told him about how my dad is the only one who works. I told him how j wanted a younger sibling but that I'm ok now without a sibling. Then we started joking and I was enjoying my time.

Jean's POV

Poor girl was probably all cold from being splashed by the car. That has to be frustrating. So I invited her over. My place was much closer any way. A 5 minute walk from the school.

I had to tell her I wasn't going to do anything to her. I know we're friend but that hurt a little. Maybe she just hasn't been alone with a guy. Not that I would do anything to her.

We were talking and I really liked our talks. I've felt something for her for a while. She's so fragile and cute. She really doesn't deserve to be picked on. I mean really what has she done to be treated like this. She stays to herself. It pisses me off when Eren or Mikasa say something to her.

We were talking and she has an adorable laugh. I wanted to kiss her but I knew I shouldn't. It wouldn't be the right thing to do.

She seemed to be enjoying herself which made me happy. Lunch time cane around and we had to figure out what we were gonna do. I was thinking we order something in.

"So what do you want for lunch? I'm thinking we should order something in."

"Oh I'm not very hungry. Plus I don't have any money on me. I sorta expected to be at school." She seemed like she was getting nervous.

"Hey it's no big deal. It'll be on me. So don't worry about it." I tried to reason with her.

"Really its ok, I'm bot hung-" then her stomach made a small grumble. And I chuckled. "Its no big deal really. Where do you want to get food from?"

"You decide. I'm ok with any thing."

"Then we shall order burgers!" I haven't had a good burger in a while. We ordered from somewhere and it got there relatively quickly.

She's awesome. We continued to talk and joke around. Once her clothes were dry she thanked me and everything. I offered to drive her home but she said that she would be ok. That I already did enough for her. So she was on her way.

Today was a not so bad day. I would like having days like these every now and then.
