Starting over, you've discovered, is mostly a matter of place; put enough miles between yourself and everything that came before, find a roommate you like, make friends with people who know nothing about you, and eventually the person you used to be begins to feel like some distant cousin. Shiganshina is good for that. Eren Jaeger is not. He's your roommate's friend, then yours, then something considerably more inconvenient. He's infuriating in ways that become intimate, intimate in ways that become problematic, and somewhere along the line, disliking him becomes difficult to separate from want. The trouble with becoming close to someone is that you never notice it happening. There's no moment when the water reaches your throat. No warning that you've wandered too far from shore. By then, you're already submerged.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞...𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲.." "....𝐇𝐦𝐦.. 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚?" In which you meet a mysterious and closed off boy in the library, who strangely gives off familiar energy, but is a complete "stranger". So much secrets, so much emotions, so much intimacy, so much LOVE. Somehow he just can't seem to stay away from you, as you just can't seem to stay away from him. HIM; the boy from the library.
