2 months later,

an: this chapter is kind shit imma be honest.

〖✰ 〗Y/N was one week into her final exams. Everything has been going on a bit smoothly. Spring was almost coming to an end and it was about to be summer which she was really happy about.

Eren and she gradually became closer over time too. He was mostly busy with something Y/N had no idea about but she was happy that he was finding something to do for himself instead of just sitting around smoking weed or fucking anyone he saw. Their days most ended with the two of them speaking on the call in order to still keep in touch.

One thing Y/N noticed was that he was more calm and down to earth. His words were better chosen and he didn't have that impulsive intuition towards him. Maybe he did mean it when he said he wanted to change. The thought and sight of it made her heart melt.

Yes she did in fact still have some feelings for Eren, no matter how many times she looked at herself in the mirror and muttered that they were just friends. Her heart always contradicted what her mind was saying.

As for him, Y/N wasn't quite sure if his feelings for her were still there or not. Sometimes she found herself biting back the urge just to ask him how he felt. But it was still early days maybe a relationship sounded too much and it was better to start off with a mutual friendship. And she knew all too well not to repeat the same mistake as last time.

Right now, she was currently sat in the living room waiting for Eren to come. He called her last night asking her to help him with something. This would be the first time in two months since they've seen each other.

She felt a tad bit nervous from how much she kept on biting the skin on her bottom lip and bouncing her legs up and down. To her it felt like she was meeting him for the first time again since he's changing.

She heard her doorbell ring as she breathed in and out before walking out of her ample living room and going to the front door. She checked through the camera seeing Eren standing there scrolling through his phone.

He wore a plain white t-shirt, some fear of god essentials shorts and some Yeezy roam runners Eren rang the door bell again as Y/N unlocked it opening the door slowly.

"Y/N you actually need to help me," Eren walked in making Y/N startled by his sudden behaviour.

"Oh—" he turned around to face the girl who still held the door open watching him.

"Hi," he spoke awkwardly his shoulders tensing as he locked eyes with her.

"...it's been a minute." Eren clicked his tongue as Y/N smiled slightly squeezing her stomach in since she felt so apprehensive.

"...yeah," she spoke ever so quietly turning around while closing the door and locking it with her back towards him.

"Two months," she uttered biting her lower lip.

"Soo," Eren dragged out, thinking about what to say to her. "How have you been doing?" Eren asked as Y/N let go of the door handle turning around to face him again.

"Meh," she shrugged nonchalantly walking up to him. "Alright I guess everything's still the same apart from...you know," she looked at him again before averting her eyes quickly and walking to the kitchen.

"How about you?" Y/N asked smiling a little hearing Eren's footsteps trailing behind her as he followed her into the kitchen.

"I've been good too I guess..." Eren shrugged.

"Same old shit—"

"So what do you need help with?" Y/N cut him off leaning her elbows on the kitchen island.

"Don't tell me you done something dumb in your exams after everything I've taught you," Y/N laughed lightly as Eren shook his head.

"No, it's even worse," Eren stared up being met with the flashing sunlight radiating on Y/N's face as she squinted her eyes.

"It's probably not as bad but what did you do?" Y/N chuckled leaning onto the kitchen island.

"How can Armin tell me today that I meant to be applying for college like six months ago?" Eren asked Y/N as her jaw dropped wide open.

"What?!" He asked.

"Eren...please tell me you're pranking me," Y/N spoke lowly.

"Nope," Eren pointed at her emphasising the 'p'

"April fools was last month so it's not a joke," Eren spoke sarcastically as Y/N covered her mouth.

"You're," Y/N choked on her words not really knowing what to say.

"I'm fucked, yes I know so you need to help me Y/N," Eren murmured.

"What have you been doing with your life?" Y/N laughed as Eren shook his head sitting on the high chairs.

"I've just been acting like a vagabond," he uttered as Y/N scoffed loudly.

"You're not fucked you still have time to look for universities we just gotta hope your grades are excellent," Y/N shrugged.

"Are you sure?" Eren looked at her.

"All they care about is your grades at the end of the day you're not a dumb person you're just lazy," Y/N shrugged hooping off her seat.

"Do you plan on going somewhere far?" Y/N asked playing with her nails while biting on her inner cheek.

"Not too far, like a different city or some," Eren shrugged as Y/N nodding leaning up from the kitchen island.

"Ok, let's look for some together lemme just get my laptop," Y/N spoke softly as Eren nodded watching her leave.

"Jesus Lord," Eren groaned laying down on the bed sighing loudly while closing his eyes as he rubbed them while groaning a little.

"How long have we been at this?" Y/N asked closing her laptop which was about to die shut and connecting to the charger.

Eren picked up his phone as his home screen appeared. "...Like four hours," Eren spoke lowly as Y/N got out of her bed groaning and stretching her legs and arms.

"I can't lie I'm slumped..." he trailed off furrowing his brows extremely.

"Look at you, you would've been repeating a whole damn year if it wasn't for me," Y/N taunted staring at the brunette boy who laid back up from the bed.

"I am forever in your gratitude thank you Y/N," Eren spoke sarcastically placing both his hands together causing Y/N to playfully roll her eyes.

"You're welcome,"

Out of nowhere, it started raining heavily causing both of them to look out of the window.

"This is freaking me out, wasn't it just sunny just a minute ago?" Y/N mentioned staring up at the sun as the rain splattered against her window.

"It's giving bipolar," Y/N murmured under her breath moving away from the window.

"It's giving summertime sadness," Eren muttered as Y/N's lips curved up to a smile before she averted her eyes away from his honey green ones.

"What do you know about that?" Y/N squinted her eyes and raised a brow.

"That's the only Lana Del Ray song I have in my goated playlist to be fair," Eren shrugged speaking boastfully.

She sat down on the bed wiggling her toes while licking her lower lip. The old Eren would've tried seducing her into having sex or some sort.

This Eren was quiet. He stared up at the ceiling flipping the phone with his fingers with the other hand under his shirt touching his abs.

Y/N's lips parted to say something since she didn't want it to become awkward but Eren beat her to it.

"Y/N," he simply said as the girl turned around bending her legs onto the bed.

"Yeah?"

"Why are your parents never around?" He asked out of the blue turning his head around to stare at the girl who was on the other side of the bed.

Y/N played with the straps of her Skims tank top in black, tucking her lower lip onto her mouth before she replied.

"You know the answer to that already," she spoke bluntly as Eren looked away resting his hand under his head.

"Yeah I know why but still, they're literally never around you're house is nice but it gets boring because it's so big and empty," Eren answered truthfully as Y/N sighed lightly stretching her arms out and touching her toes while she sat down.

"Both my parents work internationally so that's a valid point. I'm used to being by myself so it doesn't really affect me it still..." Y/N trailed off clearing her throat.

"It would be nice for them to be with me..." Y/N swallowed her saliva as Eren smacked his teeth.

"I'm an adult now anyways I can legally take care of myself and I don't wanna dwell over parental deprivation," Y/N shrugged smiling a little.

"Stuff like that sticks with people but we move," Eren groaned yawing loudly again as he leaning up from the bed slouching as his elbows touched his thighs.

"What are you doing tomorrow?"

"What am I doing tomorrow...?" Y/N repeated as Eren nodded turning his head around to look at her.

"Nothing really why?" she asked.

"There's this dinner that my Mom wanted you to come to, but if you don't wanna go I'll just tell her that you're busy with exams or whatever," Eren spoke fiddling with his blunt nails.

"Who's the dinner with?" Y/N asked moving closer to the headboard of her bed.

"One of the dads work friends or something," Eren spoke lowly as Y/N nodded resting her back against the pillow.

"Okay, I'll come,"

Eren turned around to face her. "Are you sure? It's gonna be so shit like just a bunch of old guys talking about stock markets and shit," Eren uttered as Y/N laughed.

"Bro you want me to come," Y/N laughed as Eren smiled. "And if it's shit, at least you're not gonna be alone," Y/N shrugged as Eren nodded.

"But what should I wear?" She looked at Eren who was playing with the strings of his Essentials shorts.

"Formal clothes I think..."

"I don't think I have any," Y/N chewed on her inner cheek.

"Y/N right there is a room filled with clothes right there," Eren pointed at her wardrobe as Y/N scoffed.

"But I don't know what you mean by formal, you could just wear a suit but I don't know what to wear," Y/N elaborated.

"You ain't gonna see me in a suit," Eren side-eyed her. "Unless my mom forces me to wear one," he sighed heavily.

"Just wear something that isn't too short. Like below the knees and then slap on some heels," Eren spoke as she nodded.

"Fine," Y/N playfully rolled her eyes as Eren got up.

"Anywhos I'm out," Eren stretched his body as Y/N watched his muscles tense the bottom of his shirt lifting a little and showing his v-line.

"Are you going home?" Y/N asked as Eren nodded.

"Actually I have somewhere to be," Eren checked the time on his phone before looking at Y/N noticing that her gaze dropped.

"Why do you want me to stay longer?" Eren spoke up as Y/N nodded slightly before laying down on the bed and lifting her feet up in the air.

"Urm," Eren checked the time on his phone again. The place he needed to be at was his appointment at 7:30 which was with Doctor Alexander.

"Okay I'll stay longer," he uttered wearingly. One day wouldn't hurt he thought to himself as Y/N rested her feet on the bed laying back up and shaking her head.

"Go. If it's something important then I don't want you to miss it," she spoke.

"Are you sure?" Eren raised a brow as Y/N nodded.

"Are you really really really sure?" Eren sat down on the bed.

"Yes I'm sure," Y/N laughed playfully rolling her eyes. "Plus I'll be seeing you tomorrow anyways so it's cool,"

"Okay," Eren nodded gliding his tongue against the top row of his teeth.

"Bye," she pushed him slightly with her feet as Eren got up and pursed his lips together looking at her.

He held one of his arms out indicating that he wanted a hug. Y/N smiled widely crawling out of the bed approaching him as she wrapped her arms around his torso giving him hug as Eren's arm was around her shoulders.

"I missed you," she uttered feeling his pacing heartbeat against her ear.

"Yeah I missed you too," he spoke lowly but only loud enough for her to hear as Y/N felt his breath tickle her ear.

"Anyways I'll see you tomorrow," she pulled away clearing her throat before walking out of her room as Eren trailed behind her.

"Aight I'll text you the time,"

〖✰ 〗I'm going on holiday so expect slow updates.
