28

Two hours later, Levi and Kendrick finally wrapped up the photoshoot. You would say that it went pretty smoothly besides watching Jean struggle with his poses and Levi getting frustrated with him.

Jean did mention that he didn't model frequently so his struggle was self explanatory.

"Here," Eren handed you the stack of the clothes he previously had on, with the belt and gloves on top.

"You can keep them you know," you zipped up your bag and held it in your hands.

"I'll pick them up at your apartment." It seemed like Eren was in a rush as he held the folded clothes towards you.

"You got somewhere to be or what?" you took the clothes and other items from his hand, unzipping your bag to place them in there.

"Yeah actually, I gotta go play Call of Duty with Connie, Jean and uh," Eren paused, not even finishing his sentence.

"Who?" you zipped up your bag and placed your hand on your hip.

"Kendrick?"

Your eyebrows lifted up a little as your mouth made a small 'O' shape, "Kendrick...right right," you quickly added, trying not to make your reaction any obvious than it was, "So you can't walk me home today?"

"Sorry," Eren bit his bottom lip, lifting his shoulders up, "Tomorrow?"

"Yeah," you gave Eren a smile and rubbed his shoulder, "Have fun though." Eren smiled back at you then looked over his shoulder as you walked towards Chanel.

"Yo Eren ready to go?" Connie swung his car keys with his index finger.

"Yup...wait can Armin come too?"

Connie shrugged, "Sure."

~~~

"Connie if your apartment is messy, I'm walking myself out," Armin said as he stood behind Connie. Jean stood in between Kendrick and Eren as all three of them waited for Connie to unlock his door.

"Hold on lemme check," Connie finally unlocked the door and peaked his head through the cracked door to glance around his apartment, "Uuuuh...hold on."

Groans left Jean and Eren's lips after Connie walked in his apartment, closing the door behind him. Connie grabbed his cups and plates that still had food on it, placed them in the sink. He patted his pillows and organized anything that looked out of place.

Connie sprinted back to his door and opened the door widely with a huge grin on his face, "Gentlemen, you may enter." Connie stepped aside, letting the others walk in.

"Mhm," Armin crossed his arms together as he threw himself onto the couch. Eren and Jean raced one another towards the mini fridge that Connie had in the back of the room.

"DUDE THAT WAS THE LAST RED BULL," Jean shouted at Eren. Eren stuck his tongue out and opened the can to take a chug of the energy drink.

"Too bad," Eren smacked his tongue after swallowing his drink. Connie plopped himself on the couch and grabbed a controller from his coffee table.

"Make yourself feel at home Kendrick," Connie handed Kendrick a controller. Taking the controller from Connie's hand, Kendrick took a seat beside Armin.

"Jean and Eren stop fighting, you're gonna make a mess," Armin got up from the couch and stomped towards the two boys who were now shouting in each other's faces, "What is all this about?"

Jean had his finger in Eren's face which Eren quickly swatted away, "He took the last red bull."

"Well your snail having ass should've been faster."

Armin sighed and shook his head at the two. Full on embarrassed at the two fighting over an energy drink, "I'll buy you some red bull later Jean."

"Ha loser," Jean stuck up the L gesture with his hands and shoved it in Eren's face. Eren rolled his eyes and walked with Jean and Armin to the couch.

*idk a THING abt COD so uh imma skip this🤳🏾*

"AGAIN?!?" Connie groaned and slapped his hands over his eyes but quickly wincing after his controller accidentally hit his forehead.

"Kendrick is a hacker," Jean placed the controller onto the coffee table.

"Y'all are giving up? I want a rematch," Eren scoffed, already prepared for another match.

"Dude you said that like five times...we had FIVE rematches and you lost every single one," Connie stook up five of his fingers in front of Eren.

"Y'all know how much Eren hates losing," Armin mumbled loud enough for the two boys to hear.

"We can have another rematch if you want Eren," Kendrick said, clearly sounding unbothered at Eren's determination for a win.

Eren gave Kendrick a long stare and shook his head, "Nevermind you win," he placed the controller onto the coffee table and proceeded to get up, walking to the back of the room.

Everyone, Kendrick included, were all confused at the sudden change of thought that Eren had.

"You got any water here?" Kendrick also placed the controller beside the other controllers.

"Yeah there's some in the mini fridge," Connie pointed at the the fridge where Eren was at, "You don't want any soda? juice? nothing like that?"

"Nah I gotta, you know," Kendrick moved his finger around his face, waiting for Connie to realize what he meant.

"Oooh your skin, okay okay."

Kendrick nodded his head a few times and walked towards the fridge to grab a bottle of water. Eren on the other hand, was sitting on the counter, dropping ice cubes in his glass of milk.

The feeling was definitely awkward between the two of them, which left Kendrick clueless though. He didn't understand why the vibes were off between the two of them.

Thinking of ways to start the conversation, Kendrick finally spoke up, "Almond Milk?" Kendrick pointed at Eren's glass with his bottled water before twisting the bottle cap. Eren sipped his glass of milk, gently placing it down on the counter so it wouldn't make such a loud clink noise.

"Nope, regular milk," Eren pulled his phone out of his pocket. Kendrick nodded also taking a sip from his water. Eren was holding back from asking this one question but he couldn't, "Kendrick right?"

"Yeah?" Kendrick capped his bottle, tossing the bottle from hand to hand.

"I was just wondering," Eren began, flipping hisphone around in his hand, "How exactly do you know Y/n?"

Kendrick tilted his head to the side, still processing the question that Eren asked, "Uh why?"

"No reason...just noticed that you two seemed close," Eren gestured a shrug at Kendrick before picking up his glass and placing it on his lips.

"You seem pretty close with her too," Kendrick asked, already dodging the first question that Eren asked before, "You two friends?"

Eren clicked his tongue, "Yeah, really close friends but uh you didn't answer my question the first time." The tension slowly rose up between the two as Eren waited for Kendrick to answer his question.

"Oops," Kendrick drummed his knuckles against the counter, "What was it again?"

"How do you know Y/n?"

"Oh...she's my-"

"Are y'all done in the kitchen? Armin wants to play GTA," Connie shouted over his shoulder. Kendrick relaxed his shoulders a bit after Connie's interruption.

"Yeah we're done," Kendrick nodded at Eren with his lips being in a straight line as he slowly walked away and headed back to the couch, leaving Eren to overthink what his answer could've been.
