〖✰ 〗Y/N walked up the polished stairs towards Eren's room after just meeting and having a conversation with his mom and dad.

Wait for you by Future and Drake was playing at a low volume as she opened the door slowly. She gazed at Eren quietly his back was towards her and was currently shirtless only wearing his black formal pants which sagged slightly.

"Kiko sit," Eren said pointing at the barking dog who was running around in circles around his room.

"Tch, gonna get my shit dirty," he smacked his teeth under his breath before returning back to ironing his black button up shirt.

"Hi Kiko," Y/N gasped walking up to the dog and ruffling her black fur as Eren turned around eyeing the girl who was nicely dressed inside his room.

Eren's glare caused Y/N to look up at him. "You don't like my dress?" She confidently asked trailing her fingers along the fabric of the Bottega Veneta dress she wore in black which ended just under her knees and hugged tightly against her form.

Eren cleared his throat before answering. "It's nice," he spoke quietly before returning back to ironing his black shirt while tucking his lips in.

"She's gonna get your dress dirty though," he uttered referring to the dog she was hugging on.

"Yeah..." Y/N uttered letting go of the dog and dusting her dress as Eren put down the iron on the floor before approaching his dog.

"Shoo, out you go," He spoke patting his dog's behind and ushering her to leave his bedroom. "Only humans allowed." He uttered picking her up and placing her in front of his bedroom door.

Y/N watched his abs tense while he lowered, the band of his boxers showing before she looked away biting her lower lip and approaching his mirror checking herself out.

The music changed to Survivor's Guilt by Dave. Y/N nodded her head to the lyrics hearing him close the door before she decided to speak up.

"I never knew you had a brother," she started adjusting the straps of her dress looking at Eren who was ironing the arms of his shirt through the mirror.

"Did my dad tell you?" Eren smirked as she nodded walking up to him and sitting down on his bed.

"Here's me thinking you were an only child," she playfully rolled her eyes.

"Are you guys close?" She nosily asked as Eren shrugged turning off the iron and putting it down on his bed stand to cool down.

"I don't really see him like that since he's always busy but our relationship ain't bad," he answered pulling the iron out of the plug.

"Is he cute?" She asked raising a brow.

"He's uglier than a mother fuck and ten years your major," Eren replied as Y/N laughed.

"Damn," Y/N muttered playfully punching her thigh before picking up her Jimmy Choo shoulder bag in pearl white that fell from his bed.

"My brother doesn't go for little girls..." Eren spoke while he walked over to his mirror as Y/N let out a loud scoff shaking her head.

"Little girl?" Y/N rephrased.

"I was joking," she stated watching Eren put on his shirt before she averted her gaze towards her phone picking it up.

"Mhm make sure," Eren raised his brows.

"Zeke..." she repeated softly.

"Weird ass name right?" Eren turned to look at her as she shrugged.

"If you say Zeke three times your furniture will start floating or some shit," he ridiculed as Y/N laughed.

She watched Eren brush his hair back into a low bun gathering all his hair into his left hand while holding the hair tie between his lips. She yawned leaning her head down onto his black satin pillow gazing up at his ceiling.

"I'm fucking slumped let's just hope this goes quick," Y/N murmured yawning loudly while standing up and walking to his front door.

"Hold on," he spoke turning off his music as Y/N turned around to face him again.

"What?" She asked.

"Cmere," He swayed his index and middle finger towards him indicating Y/N to come to him.

Y/N sighed lightly her Jimmy Choo bag slipping from her fingers and falling onto his desk as she slowly approached him. Eren touched her shoulders moving her towards the mirror as she stared at herself feeling her stomach sink because what Eren was doing was so unpredictable.

"Eren your parents are waiting for us just so you know," Y/N spoke lowly tilting her head to the side to have a glimpse at the brunette male.

"Gimme a minute," Eren uttered turning Y/N's head around so that she could look in the mirror. She heard him fiddling with something in his hands as his knuckles grazed against her back.

"Sooo," Eren dragged out before clearing his throat.

"Remember that time when you lost those earrings that um—Jean gave you?" Eren asked as Y/N nodded slowly.

"...Yeah,"

"I said that I was gonna get you something better remember?" Eren uttered as Y/N nodded again.

"Mhm," she nodded feeling Eren's arm wrap around her shoulders as a cold object touched her neck.

"You actually got it?" Her eyes widened while her mouth went slightly agape eyeing the silver necklace embodied with crystals on her neck.

"Mhm, it's Cartier trinity necklace," he uttered fixing the chain on her neck adjusting it before taking a step back eyeing the chain.

"That must've cost a lot,"

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"Eren I love it." She cheesed moving closer towards the mirror trailing her nails against the crystals grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

"I'm praying that I don't lose this..." she murmured turning around to face Eren who had his hand in his pockets eyeing her.

He moved closer towards her touching the crystals. "We just gotta hope you never take it off then," he spoke almost in a whisper as Y/N looked at him.

"Th—"

Before Y/N could thank him, the door opened revealing Eren's Mom standing there dressed in a navy blue tight dress and a pair of black heels. Her long black hair was styled into a side part also.

"Wow, you guys look adorable, I'm loving the matching colour. Hashtag couple goals or whatever but sometime today would be spectacular," Carla grinned ushering the two to hurry up.

Eren took a step away from Y/N approaching his Mom giving her the fakest smile he could ever possibly give before mouthing 'cockblocker,'

Y/N quickly picked up her bag from his desk looking at Eren's Mom who was giving her a side glance before she smiled and walked off.

They finally arrived there, the journey was a bit long but it wasn't boring thanks to Eren's Mom carrying the conversation and his Dad blabbering on about conspiracy theories which Y/N thought was kind of amusing for him to be interested in topics such as that.

Y/N opened the car door her strapped black heels touching the concrete floor as she got out. She turned around being met with a huge house that had white pillars placed in front of it. She quietly followed Eren to their front door as Grisha pressed the doorbell a few times.

She looked up at Eren to see him staring at floor with his hands stuffed into his pockets while nibbling on his lower lip. She softly nudged him snapping him out of his short daydream.

"Eren are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah," he uttered lowly nodding his head.

"Do you wanna be here?" She lowly asked as Eren shrugged biting his inner cheek.

"I'm just here for the food," he moved closer to Y/N as she scoffed.

The door opened revealing a middle aged couple dressed in well formal attire. Y/N and Eren entered their house as she watched everyone exchange greetings handshakes and hugs.

"Good evening, what's your name?" The woman asked Y/N after exchanging a small hug with her in which she returned.

"Y/N nice to meet you," she smiled.

"I'm Alice pleasure to meet you too," the woman smiled.

"Oh and my daughter Cassandra's here too Eren, you remember her right?" the woman asked moving out of the way and revealing a pretty girl dressed in a short black dress.

Cassandra turned off her phone looking at Eren before her eyes slowly lingered at Y/N.

"Hi," Eren spoke coldly.

"Hello," she replied bluntly.

Y/N gazed at the four elder adults who walked away while talking leaving Eren, her and Cassandra by the front door. Why didn't he tell her that they had a daughter?

"Who are you?" Cassandra asked with a bit of attitude in her voice leaning on her side.

"Who are you?" Y/N raised a brow flipping the question back.

"My names Cassandra you heard my name already." Cassandra swiftly responded.

"Y/N," she replied short and bluntly giving the same attitude back.

She looked up at Eren to see if he sensed her attitude. He looked back at Y/N pursing his lips into a thin line before walking ahead of them. Cassandra followed behind him while Y/N rolled her eyes giving Cassandra a smug look behind her back.

She didn't like the girl already.

The three of them entered the dining room with Eren sitting down and pushing the seat next to him back with his feet while looking at Y/N as she came and sat down next to him.

A couple of seconds later, a few of the chefs came in placing the food they prepared onto the dining table. Y/N furrowed her brows and squinted her eyes a little noticing that Cassandra was staring at her before she awkwardly shifted her gaze.

"Does she have a problem with me?" Y/N whispered lowly to Eren pretending to adjust her dress so that Cassandra wouldn't sense her talking about her.

"Ask her," Eren joked folding the end of his napkin as Y/N pushed her chair further in.

"She's a weirdo, tell your buddy to stop looking at me," Y/N murmured giving Cassandra on last look before resting her chin onto the palm of her hand.

"So Eren how are your exams?" Alice asked picking up her knife and fork as Eren did the same.

"My exams are going well," Eren replied with a small smile as Alice nodded slightly.

"All thanks to Y/N right?" Carla spoke up as Eren nodded his head biting into his food.

"Y/N are you in the same year as Eren too?" Alice asked as Y/N nodded slightly before speaking up.

"Yeah,"

"That's good do you know what you want study after?" She asked as Y/N thought to herself.

"I'm into corporate law so I might study business and law in university," Y/N replied.

"Same as my daughter maybe you guys can help each other out right Cassandra?" Alice looked at her daughter.

"Mm," she simply spoke raising her brow while cutting into her food.

The dinner went by smoothly and mostly the parents were mingling with each other, talking about work and their businesses and what not.

Neither Eren Y/N or Cassandra spoke with each other but just ate in silence each of them sharing glances every now and then.

Cassandra suddenly stood up, her chair scraping along the marbled design floor loudly causing everyone to stop talking and look at her. Y/N watched as she picked up her phone and walked away.

"Is everything okay?" Alice asked watching her daughter open the dining room door.

"I'm done," she uttered before walking off. Y/N looked at Carla to see her whispering something to Grisha before she looked back at Eren.

"She has no manners whatsoever..." Y/N whispered lowly twirling her fork around the pasta carbonara that the chefs prepared.

Eren sipped on his glass of white wine before responding. "My mom would've slapped me into next year Alice is too lenient," Eren whispered as Y/N sniggered.

"Just one of those days..." Alice replied awkwardly while twirling her glass of sparkling champagne.

"Mhm," Eren murmured sarcastically raising his brows as he stuffed his mouth with some food.

"Right..," Carla answered making an uncertain facial expression before she picked up her glass of champagne.

"I'm going to the bathroom," Eren notified wiping his mouth with the serviette pushing his seat back and standing up.

After Eren was done with his business, he exited the bathroom the smell of hard weed filling his nostrils. He walked up to the open balcony at the end of the corridor drying his hands against the the back pocket of his pants while walking outside feeling the warm breeze against his cheeks.

"What are you doing?" Eren asked scrunching his nose as Cassandra turned around side eyeing him while blowing the smoke out of her parted lips.

"I'm reading a book...what does it look like I'm doing?" She answered rudely and sarcastically as Eren narrowed his eyes watching her tap the end of the blunt against the glass table.

"Watch your mouth," he stated.

"Why are you here?"

"Why do you think I'm here? I didn't come just to do some shitty reunion, I wouldn't have even came if I knew you were going to be here," Eren retaliated.

"Eren...I live here?" Cassandra spoke awkwardly.

"No you don't you're always running away from home and coming back god knows when," Eren corrected her as Cassandra rolled her eyes throwing the blunt out of the balcony.

"Maybe the only reason why you're here is because you knew I was coming—" Eren stated while walking away as Cassandra cut him off.

"Yeah you're right," Cassandra admitted as Eren paused on his tracks rolling his eyes before walking off.

"Where are you going?" Cassandra raised her voice a little.

"I'm going back your face is pissing me off,"

"Ugh stop crying, you don't mean that" Cassandra uttered throwing something at Eren's back.

Eren turned around picking the packet of weed that she just threw at him lifting it up before lowering his hand and looking at her.

"Wanna bill it?" She asked lifting up two blunts that were between her index and middle finger.

Eren smacked his teeth walking up to her and snatching the blunt from her fingers placing it between his lips as he lit up the end.

"I was joking by the way, I just like seeing you get worked up," Cassandra chuckled lightly while Eren blew out the smoke from his lips glaring at her.

"Get a hold of yourself you're turning 19," Eren uttered sitting down the furthest seat away from her and dropping the ashes on the ashtray.

They both sat in silence listening to the murmurs of people speaking downstairs while Cassandra hummed a tune. Eren didn't really have anything to say to her but it was boring eating downstairs and listening to them talk about bullshit he wasn't interested in.

"Can you not?" Eren spoke up feeling Cassandra's feet stroke up his leg.

"Will your girlfriend little miss Y/N get mad?" She asked throwing an innocent look.

Eren ignored her placing the blunt against his lips once again. "She's really your girlfriend?" Cassandra gasped not earning a response from Eren again causing her throw a weird look.

"Can you not look at me?" Eren asked.

"Can you answer the question?" Cassandra asked.

"I don't owe you an explanation, like who do you think you are," Eren uttered pushing his seat back.

"I deserve to know—"

"You don't, and even if she was my girlfriend what are you gonna about it?" Eren asked.

Cassandra leaned back on her seat smiling as the smoke from her blunt rose up to the air. "I'm not gonna do anything but if she was your girlfriend, I would say you're better than this and tell you find someone else. She's a pretty girl but you should find someone more like me,"Cassandra shrugged.

"Why do you act like you're the only girl in the world?" Eren asked blowing the smoke through his nose as Cassandra licked her lower lips.

"You don't like it?" She asked.

"It's not cute whatsoeve—" Eren answered before he was cut off by someone walking in.

Y/N watched as Eren left with him closing the door behind him before she returned to eating her food and listening to their conversation in silence. It was kind of them to include her in their conversation every second, but their topics were really boring and political.

It has almost been about ten minutes and Eren still hasn't come back making Y/N wonder where he was or what he was even doing.

"Y/N dear, can you go look for Eren and tell him that he shouldn't stay up too long because we're leaving soon?" Carla asked the girl who was silently sat on the chair.

"Ok," she uttered nodding slightly as she pushed herself back on the chair standing up and tucking her chair in before she walked out.

Y/N was immediately met with the low temperature from inside their large corridor as she walked around the ground floor searching for what looked like the bathroom. It didn't take her long to find out that the bathroom was the third door on the first floor but it looked like no one was in there because there wasn't any light emerging from the gap under the door.

She looked to her left hearing laughter coming out of the large balcony at the end of the corridor. She knew that Eren was in there and worse of all she also knew that Cassandra was with him too.

Y/N slowly walked up to the continuous murmurs she heard from the balcony. She stood close to the wall trying to figure out what they were talking about. The stench of weed filled up the corridor which caused her eyes to water. Y/N flared her nose a little leaning her head closer towards the glass door.

"Find someone else, she's a pretty girl but you should find someone more like me," Y/N heard Cassandra say as she furrowed her brows walking closer towards the door.

She felt her cheeks heating up as she dug her nails into her the palm of her hands. She knew that she was speaking about her because what other girl could she have possibly be talking about to Eren.

Y/N walked in hearing them talk some more the sound of her heels assaulting the white tiles caused Eren to stop speaking and look back to see her.

Why did she feel annoyed? She didn't like Cassandra and that mouth of hers at all and the fact that Eren was sat down having a conversation with her made her agitated.

"Eren, your Mom said that you shouldn't stay up long because we're leaving soon,"

"We're not done so I'll—"

"I was speaking to Eren," Y/N cut Cassandra off rudely also giving her a slight glare before she averted her gaze towards Eren raising a brow and waiting for a response.

"Alright," he answered.

She slightly cut her eyes at him turning around to walk off before Eren spoke up.

"Stay," she heard him utter causing her to turn around and face his emerald hues again. She bit her lower lip while digging her thumb nail under her other nails.

"Unless you wanna go..." he muttered off.

Y/N stared at Cassandra who was watching her while poking her tongue through her inner cheek. She grabbed a chair that was near her holding it and placing it down next to Eren as she sat down.

Silence filled the balcony again as Eren handed her the blunt. Y/N held it between her index and middle finger taking one puff before she handed Eren back the blunt with him taking a long inhale from it.

"You smoke?" Cassandra asked tapping the end of the blunt at the ashtray. Y/N stared down on the table eyeing the packet of Marlboro cigarettes, some rolling paper and two packets containing weed.

"Mhm," Y/N replied raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Let's finish this together then," she exhorted pinching the weed inside the zip lock bag with her black French tip painted nails.

"Actually no, Imma save this for later," she changed her mind making Y/N give her a look before she stared at the grass outside.

"So Y/N is Eren your boyfriend?" Cassandra changed the topic clapping her hands together before resting her chin on her fingers.

Y/N pursed her lips together shrugging feeling Eren staring at her before she spoke up. "Why should it concern you?" she spoke lowly.

"Stop moving so stuck up, is he your boyfriend or not?" Cassandra asked as Y/N heard Eren sigh loudly from behind her.

"I don't know, maybe he is my boyfriend maybe he isn't," Y/N smugly spoke while shrugging.

"It's funny because I asked Eren the same thing but he hasn't given me a yes or no either," Cassandra laughed.

"Nice necklace by the way," she commented after.

"Thank you Eren got it for me," Y/N pettily stated as Cassandra chuckled dryly as she squashed the end of her blunt on the ashtray leaning closer towards Y/N.

"You know me and Eren used to fuck right?" she laughed as Y/N narrowed her eyes. Her laugh was vexing because there wasn't anything for her to find funny about.

"Is that true?" Y/N turned her head slightly giving Eren a view of her side profile as Eren nodded firmly tapping his index finger impatiently on the arm of the chair while glaring at Cassandra.

"Mhm and I was his first too," she uttered boastfully not earning a reaction from Y/N.

"Since you don't know if Eren's your boyfriend or not I want him to stay the night with me if that's okay with you," Cassandra twirled the ends of her hair.

Y/N pursed her lips together, why wasn't Eren saying anything? Why was he just letting her entertain herself and talk loosely like that?

"Take him them," Y/N answered.

"You have a very loose mouth by the way you need to watch how you talk," Y/N stated as Cassandra held her arms out defensively.

"I was just joking, no need to act so hostile right Eren?" Cassandra looked at him not earning a response before she rolled her eyes.

"Well it's either you talk to me nice or shut up because what you're doing is unnecessary. There isn't a competition between us so stop tryna turn it into one. I don't even remember your name and I don't care about you so why should I be threatened?" Y/N spoke rudely watching Cassandra's expression change.

"Again it was a joke..." she uttered.

"Wow, so hilarious you should be a clown," Y/N spoke sarcastically as Eren scoffed.

"It was never that—"

"Okay," Y/N shrugged cutting Cassandra off.

"Okay..." Cassandra repeated before it turned awfully quietly with none of them speaking again.

Y/N stood up her chair scraping along the tiles loudly. She turned around to face Eren pulling down her dress in front of him to see him gazing up at her. His ears were painted a pastel red colour while he covered his mouth his his palm.

"I'm going back in, it's cold," she uttered bitterly before walking off.

Her annoyance towards Eren grew even more and it made her disgusted. There was always going to be another bitchy girl bothering Eren behind her back. And somehow that girl will always crawl her way into Y/N's life and disturb her tranquility.

The dinner ended shortly after and Y/N said her farewells obviously excluding Cassandra out. Eren and Y/N stood by the passenger seat of the car waiting for Carla and Grisha to arrive. They said goodbye ten minutes ago but they still continued on talking which was tiring. It was cold outside and she just wanted to go home.

Eren inched closer to her folding his arms while leaning onto the car. "Are you okay?" He asked gently.

Y/N aired him fixing her gaze on what was in front of her. Eren nudged Y/N on her hip waiting for her to answer.

"I'm fine," she uttered.

"Are you su—"

"Yes," she cut him off turning around to pull on the car door handle once Grisha and Carla arrived.

"What's that smell?" Carla asked once Eren and Y/N entered through the back seat.

Y/N opened the back seat window as Eren looked outside facing the other way while pretending not to hear his mother's question.

"Hellooo Y/N, Eren are you both there?" Carla turned back to look at them.

"U-urm i used some of Cassandra's perfume," Y/N stammered making up a lie on the spot as Carla nodded before she turned around as Grisha pulled out of the parking lot.

The journey back was a bit quicker and they finally arrived back at Eren's place. Y/N exited out of the car stretching her legs. She hasn't looked or spoken to Eren throughout the whole journey and he didn't do the same with her. Her feet felt so sore from being in those heels for hours. She checked the time on her phone seeing that it was 11pm.

"Y/N it's so late are you sure you want to go home today?" Carla asked.

"Yeah," she nodded.

"Come inside and warm yourself up for a bit," Carla suggested as Y/N shook her head slightly.

"It's fine, I'll just end up getting home even more late," Y/N declined smiling slightly.

"Alright sweetie," Carla nodded. "Eren?" She called out to her son.

"Yes,"

"I want you to drive Y/N home and make sure she gets home safely," Carla rubbed his shoulder as Y/N rolled her eyes discreetly.

He looked at Y/N before looking back at his Mom. "Ok,"

"I mean safely," she emphasised as Eren nodded continuously.

"Thank you for inviting me," Y/N hugged Carla also saying bye to his Dad who was already entering his house.

Y/N entered through the passenger seat sitting down and getting comfortable before she bent down to untie the straps of her heels hearing Eren open the door from the drivers seat. She slipped off her heels with her feet sighing out of relief as Eren sat down watching his parents enter the house.

They sat in silence for a couple of minutes with Eren gripping onto the steering wheel to a point where his knuckles turned white and his veins popped out. She side eyed him wondering how long he was just going to sit there and stare into space.

"Can you drive?" She spoke up rudely watching Eren's jaw tense as his Adam's apple throbbed.

"Y/N what's your god damn issue?" Eren asked in a low voice turning his head around to face her.

"Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?" Eren asked as Y/N glared at him.

"Can you hear yourself? What is it that I'm doing to you exactly?" Y/N replied.

"You know exactly what you're doing. Giving me blunt replies, rolling your eyes at me, acting as if I'm nonexistent," he trailed off as she pursed her lips together.

"Putting me through these tribulations for no reason," he smacked his teeth loudly.

"I'm not doing anything," she simply replied.

"You are doing something. Is this an act to try make me feel guilty? What me and Cassandra had was a long time ago—"

"So you're feeling guilty?" Y/N cut him off shifting her body around to face him.

Eren nodded slightly before answering. "I mean yeah—"

"If you're feeling guilty, then fucking deal with it. Next time don't think with your dick!" Y/N snapped at him.

She flared her nose and folded her arms resting her back against the seat of the car as Eren stared at her before looking ahead of him.

"And stop speaking to me about Cassandra, I don't care about her," she murmured.

"You know what, you're right and I'm wrong...I'm sorry," he apologised as Y/N squinted her eyes at him.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"What?" Eren replied.

"This isn't gonna work if you're just gonna be a people pleaser and keep apologising all the time. Because I'm just gonna think that you're not being honest," she stated as Eren rolled his eyes.

"I'm trying to be the bigger person here and not start an argument and now you're getting angry at me for apologising. Make it make sense Y/N isn't that the Eren you want?" He uttered as Y/N fluttered her eyes.

"I'm not asking you to act like someone you're not—you know what Eren, I don't wanna argue with you tonight I'm tired just take me home," Y/N said turning around and facing the window sighing and swallowing the lump in her throat.

"So then tell me where I went wrong talk to me," he touched her arm.

Really and truly, Y/N knew that Eren didn't do anything wrong. She can't expect commitment from someone who isn't even her man. She was just upset and jealous and acted as if it was all Eren fault.

But that question Cassandra asked really made her sad. She wished that Eren was her boyfriend. But there was always going to be another girl in the picture that wanted him just as bad as she did.

It felt so nostalgic to her. Having a crush on someone you knew you will never end up with. It was always a repeating cycle.

"Eren can you get me home please." She bit her lower lip blinking continuously to stop herself from crying.

Eren started the car not saying anything as the light turned on. His hands slipped from the steering wheel as Y/N stared at him.

"I can't bring myself to drive if things are like this. So it's either you say how you feel or we just sit there staring at each other," Eren commenced.

"To be frank, I don't how to talk to you. So you're gonna have to let me know wassup with you," he uttered slowly.

Y/N parted her lips. She didn't know how she was going to be able to word it without exposing her true feelings so she just gave up.

Seven minutes have passed without Y/N talking to him. She checked her phone seeing that it was almost about to die.

"Eren what are you still doing here?!" Eren heard a voice shout from outside.

He pressed a button as the windows slid down with Eren's head popping out. "We're doing something, we're gonna leave in like three minutes," Eren shouted seeing him Mom standing behind the window upstairs before he popped his head back in.

"Eren are we seriously about to do this?" Y/N complained noticing that more than three minutes have passed.

"Are you ready to talk to me?" He asked turning his head around to face her.

"I'm talking to you now, am I not?"

"You know what I mean—" Eren replied before he was cut off by a loud bang from the window of the drivers seat causing him and Y/N to jolt up looking through the tinted windows to see his mom outside.

"For the love of god," Eren muttered staring at his Mom.

"Open the door," Carla demanded as Eren smacked his teeth loudly rolling his eyes and ignoring her.

"If it's what I think you guys are doing in here—Eren I swear to god open the damn door!" Carla raised her voice tapping on the window. Eren sighed taking the lock off and opening the door.

"Eren it's been fifteen minutes what are you doing?" Carla peeped her head through to see Y/N turning around and facing her.

"We're not doing anything just give us a minute, gosh are you tryna break the car or something?" Eren asked.

"I. don't. care. Take the girl home," She sternly spoke as Y/N murmured a hum from her lips meaning that she agreed with Carla.

"Mom...not right now" Eren spoke tiredly as Carla's brows furrowed.

"Are you disobeying me? Should I embarrass you in front of Y/N?" Carla bent down a little facing Eren as Y/N watched hoping that she actually would hit her son.

"No I don't want you to embarrass me in front of—"

"Okay fine we're going!" Eren raised his voice flinching as his Mom raised his hand while closing the car door on her and staring the car.

"Whew," Y/N sighed rubbing her nose and mouth as she most desperately tried to cover her laugh.

"Jesus Christ Carla..." he uttered loudly starting the car before hearing another bang on the window this time causing Y/N flinch.

"Oh my fu—" Eren covered his mouth to stop himself from swearing as he covered his face in distress bouncing his leg up and down.

"Eren please learn to shut up," Y/N whispered loudly.

Carla opened the door inching her body closer to Eren. "What did I just hear you say?"

"Hold on I mustn't be hearing correct—" Carla tapped her ear as Y/N turned around biting her lower lip to stop herself from laughing.

"Because I know my son didn't just say the word Jesus Christ and addressed me by my first name," Carla pulled onto Eren's collar.

"I said mother, I said mother!" Eren repeated holding his hand out to block his face as Carla gripped his ear.

"Y/N sweetheart Eren said Jesus Christ Carla right?" Eren's Mom asked looking back at Y/N to see her flushed face.

"Urm—"

"Because Jesus is Christ am I right or am I wrong?" Eren cut Y/N off.

"Shut up Eren you are so lucky Y/N is here right now," Carla uttered pursing her lips together as she pulled away.

"We're going Y/N say bye," Eren spoke as Y/N lifted her hand up to wave.

"Wait why did you just start the car without putting your seatbelt on?" Carla asked seeing the reclined seats and the light coming from inside the car.

"Cheerio, we're going," Eren smiled closing the car door on her as she held it open.

"No you're not,  stop trying to be funny and get out of the car," Carla leaned to her side tapping her feet while holding the door.

"Pardon?" Eren raised a brow

"It's too late and I can't trust you drive like this you're dropping her off first thing in the morning." She spoke.

"Huh?" Y/N replied.

"Get out," Carla said to Y/N looking at her inside the car as Y/N held both her hands out in defence picking up her heels and getting out of the car.

"I can't believe you Eren," she looked at her son who was slowly getting out of the car as he closed the door hearing it automatically lock.

Carla shook her head and turned around the sounds of her flip flops smacking against the concrete as she walked up to the front door.

"Oh my gosh Eren..." Y/N glared at him as he looked at her back. She was annoyed at the fact that she couldn't get home because someone couldn't listen to simple instructions.

"Hurry up!" She shouted as Y/N was the first to walk in with Eren following behind her.

"Leave your shoes here, Eren hurry up and get your stuff so that Y/N can sleep in your room." She ordered.

"Huh?" Eren raised a brow.

"...I'm not gonna repeat myself," she spoke lowly as Eren smacked his teeth bending down to take off his shoes before he walked upstairs with them.

"Y/N there's a spare toothbrush upstairs, I'm going to bed so if you need anything, just ask Eren," Carla noted as Y/N nodded.

She heard the door close meaning that Eren's mom was inside her room. Y/N sighed loudly sitting down on the stairs messaging her sore feet and ankles before she stood up slowly walking up the stairs. This was the worst outcome that could've probably happened. Now she would have to deal with the awkwardness of being around Eren.

She entered the bathroom taking a toothbrush out of the cabinet and adding some toothpaste before brushing her teeth. After she was done, she exited the bathroom walking up to Eren's door and knocking on it lightly.

"I'm changing,"

"Okay," Y/N softly replied leaning on the wall and biting her lower lip whilst she rubbed her arms.

The door opened showing Eren shirtless only wearing a pair of black Nike shorts with a shirt in his hand. Y/N awkwardly walked past him seeing the clothes he was wore today thrown onto his gaming chair. She dropped her purse on his desk, took out her phone, and walked up to his bed to sit down.

Y/N watched him collect the stuff he needed before she spoke up. "Can I borrow something to sleep with?" She asked as Eren nodded pointing at his closet.

She walked up to his closet, opened it and took out a tank top and shorts returning back to his bed to sit down. She watched as Eren picked up his phone and charger before he left the bedroom for Y/N to change.

She sighed loudly rolling her eyes. It was his fault for not following simple instructions. She walked up to his mirror while taking off her tight dress finally feeling like she was able to breathe. She folded it neatly and placed it on top of her purse that was on the table. Her phone was on 3% but she was too scared to ask Eren for a charger so she just left it.

After Y/N got dressed into Eren's clothes, she turned off the lights and made her way to his bed getting under the covers and resting her head against his pillow. It felt like she was swimming in a pool filled with his nostalgic scent. He had a sweet homme aroma to him. She switched positions laying on her back remembering the necklace Eren gave her. Her fingers trailed up her stomach and then up her chest all the way up to her neck feeling the crystals against her fingertips she smiled a little letting out an airy sigh before she turned to face the wall. It was hard to fall asleep when she had a lot shit in her mind.

After almost ten minutes of not being able to sleep, Y/N heard the door open and the lights open causing her to shoot her head up to see Eren standing by door with his hair tied up into a messy bun while holding a bunch of pillows.

"I'm not sleeping in the living room," he childishly stated walking into his room as Y/N sighed loudly rubbing her baggy eyes because the light was too bright.

"Fine, I'll go sleep in the living room since you're such a scaredy cat," she softly spoke crawling out of his bed and approaching him.

Eren pursed his lips together turning around to face her before he spoke up. "Just sleep with me," he uttered as Y/N paused.

She stared at him him for a moment before she nodded not saying a word. She sat back down on his bed and pushed herself up to his headboard placing the pillow besides the wall as she got under the covers. Eren closed the door and turned off the light before he quietly approached his bed placing the pillow on his side before he lifted up the bedsheets getting under them.

Y/N turned on her side to face the wall while Eren laid on his back placing his hand under his shirt. He was so close that she could practically hear his breathing cycle.

She wanted to shift positions but she was too scared too. She wanted to talk to him but she too scared to utter some words. Why was she moving so shy? Why was Eren making her like this?

Eren tapped his fingers against his abs staring up at the ceiling. It was almost two am. He too wanted to speak to Y/N but he wasn't sure if she was still angry at him and he didn't want to get aired again. But the silence was killing him. He built up the courage to see her so all of this would've been useless if he didn't say anything. He turned his head to the right to look at Y/N. There was so much space between. He could tell that she wasn't asleep because she was so still and he couldn't hear her breaths. He turned his head back to stare up at the ceiling.

Y/N finally built up the courage to turn around. She rested on her back as her head sunk into the pillow. She averted her eyes discreetly to see Eren's side profile before she closed her eyes resting her hand on her stomach.

"Are you still mad at me?" Eren murmured as Y/N opened her eyes looking up at the ceiling.

"No," she simply whispered.

Eren turned onto his side and faced Y/N eyeing her dark figure. Y/N felt his stares. It was so uncomfortable forcing her to turn her head to the other direction. She was aware that she overreacted and she felt so embarrassed about it.

"Y/N," he uttered.

"Yes,"

"I wanna see your face," he whispered.

Y/N gulped squeezing her eyes shut as she slowly turned around to face him. She opened them slowly eyeing the boy next to her. Even though it was dark, she was still able to see him. She wanted to trail her fingers along his soft skin.

"Talk to me..." he uttered lowly while playing with the end of her pillow.

"I don't know what to say Eren," Y/N curved her lips downwards.

"I don't know what to say either," he admitted. "But we gotta articulate how we feel. I wanna know what's upsetting you...did I do something?"

"You didn't do anything Eren," she spoke irritatedly.

"So then was it Cassandra?" He asked.

Y/N kept silent before she parted her lips. "It's stupid," she spoke sighing lightly as she laid on her back.

Eren grumbled lowly before he slowly turned around to face the other way. Y/N tucked in her bottom lip fluttering her eyes.

"Eren?" She turned to look at him grazing her fingers gently on his spine. Eren ignored her calling out his name as he squeezed his eyes shut forcing himself to sleep.

"Eren tell me how you feel..." she spoke moving her arm closer to her chest.

"You wanna know how I feel?" Eren asked with his back still turned towards her.

"I'm tryna understand you but it's like you're not letting me," Eren turned onto his back.

"Y/N I don't know what you want from me anymore. You want me to change and I'm trying my best but what's the point if everything still feels the same? I ask you if you're mad at me, you tell me you're not but then you ignore me for hours. I say I'm sorry even though I don't even know what I'm sorry about because you won't let me know where I fucked up. I ask you if you're okay, and you say that you are but every time I look you, you look like you want to break down and cry. I can't telepathically mind read you just to find out. Sweetheart there's nothing wrong with you, but you can't expect someone to change if you're not going to make an effort yourself," Eren vented.

"You think I like showing my emotions and saying how I feel about things? Bro it's embarrassing as fuck. I don't like telling people how I feel but fuck it, imma do it anyways. I don't even vent to God about half the shit I'm telling you right now that's how much of an effort I'm trying to make but it's like you don't even appreciate me or you find another thing to be angry at me about. I said that I was gonna change I promised you that. But I'm not perfect so don't expect me to change everything about myself for you. I'm still gonna be the same Eren that's gonna lose my temper and talk shit if shit doesn't feel right," he stated.

Y/N chewed on her bottom lip. Yes she wanted to tell him everything, that she still liked him and she was jealous of him and Cassandra. She wanted to know if he still liked her not but she was so afraid to ask because of past experiences.

Y/N gulped as her bottom lip shivered. "I'm sorry," she simply said.

"It wasn't my intention to do that, I'm a nobody so you don't have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, I don't know how you want me to say it but I do appreciate you and I notice your effor—"

"So then why don't you tell things when I ask you about them?" Eren cut her off.

"Because I've done the same shit like that before and what do you think happened because of it?" She asked him.

"Eren I have never told anyone this, but at one point I told my Mom that I was depressed and I wanted to kill myself. Then she started shouting at me saying that I'm a privileged rich child so depression shouldn't even come across my mind. And then she told me to kill myself so that I won't be a problem to her anymore. No one knows how much I cried that day. How do you think that makes me feel? I suffered that just because I opened up to someone. I opened up to my best friend about you and she knew exactly how I felt but she still ended up using it against me and said that I was overreacting. I even opened up to you and I told you my feelings. You and I both know how that went. So excuse me for acting so stuck up and jaded but I'm so scared to speak up so I'd rather just let it go," she admitted as tears welled up in her eyes.

"So then where do we go from here?" Eren asked.

"You don't want to talk to me because you're scared of repeating your past mistakes so what do we do know?" Eren turned to look at her.

"Do you like how things are between you and me?"

Y/N kept quiet wiping her tears with her knuckles as her breathing hitched and her chest puffed up. She didn't know what to say or how to even reply.

Eren smacked his teeth lowly as he stared up at the ceiling again licking his lips.

"I'm sorry for the things I said...I didn't mean it...I was being stupid. I just didn't understand what you saw in me that made you catch feelings. And it made me angry because I knew that I wasn't a good enough person for you so I gave you a reason to not like me." Eren murmured.

"Well it kinda worked," Y/N admitted.

"But Y/N you need to understand that I don't just date every pretty girl I fuck. They only like me because of sex or because I'm just some pretty boy. So at what cost is it for me to break my heart for? Really and truly I just want one person that I can call mine and be with for life. Someone that I can wake up with in my arms forever. My hearts not built for break ups after break ups," he admitted furrowing his brows.

"So you thought that I was going to be one of those girls?" Y/N asked turning around to face him.

"Yes I did, but clearly I was wrong." He uttered lowly.

"Sorry that you had to go through that but you're gonna have to learn to stop being scared and speak up otherwise this ain't gonna go nowhere. All of this sounds so stupid to be honest," he smacked his teeth loudly turning around the face the other side.

"So you're mad at me?" Y/N broke the silence hearing Eren sigh loudly.

"Bro I still don't even know if you're still mad at me..." Eren trailed.

"Eren I've said this like five times I'm not mad at you anymore—"

"Anymore? So you were mad at me?" Eren raised his voice gradually as Y/N huffed loudly and placed the covers over her face.

"I just don't like the girls you surround yourself with there I said it."

"What are you talking about?" Eren squinted his eyes.

"Every girl you have fucked are so rude and cunty how are you not noticing that? And you wonder why you can't find the perfect girl for you or why you're still single," Y/N admitted.

"Okay...what type of girl should I go for then?" Eren asked.

"I don't know. Someone that's down to earth and humble. You need to find a girl that'll be there for you and help you whenever you're struggling with something. Someone that'll ask you small questions like if you're okay or if you've eaten today. Someone that's understanding and will take their time with you. Someone that you can make jokes with because you have the same sense of humour. Find someone that you can be vulnerable with and someone that you can trust. At the end of the day, it's not her looks that's gonna allure you it's her mindset," Y/N explained.

It turned quiet for a few moments before Eren decided to speak up.

"Soo someone like you?" Eren turned to look at her as Y/N eyes widened.

"Mee?" Y/N dragged out staring back at him as he nodded.

"I-" she stuttered.

"I don't think I'm like that..." she spoke shyly.

"Says who?" Eren asked seeing her shoulders tense a little.

"Says me, I'm not the illest of persons," she murmured slowly while playing with her nails.

Eren hummed lightly before he turned his head around.

"Eren do you really think I'm like that?" Y/N asked as her face flustered and heated up.

"Why would I lie?" He rhetorically asked.

Y/N kept silent and stared up at the ceiling feeling her eyelids getting heavier. She sighed heavily placing both of her hands under her head. Eren had no idea that she knew about his little secret. Should she just say fuck it and ask him? She thought to herself. Maybe there was a reason why he didn't want her to know.

"Find someone like me then," she uttered before she turned around to face the wall.

Eren furrowed his brows at her statement. Why did it have to be 'someone like her' he wanted that someone to be her. Time was running out.

Should he just tell her how he feels? Eren thought to himself.

"Get some sleep, we have to wake up soon," he uttered noticing that the sky was no longer black but an indigo blue colour as he turned to face the other side.

Y/N and Eren both woke up early in the morning. She was sat quietly looking at her nails listening to the small rain drops against the windows. Sunday mornings were always so depressing.

She did get a little bit of sleep but their conversation a few hours prior just kept getting stuck in her mind. She liked Eren more when he spoke about his feelings. She never knew Eren would be affected by thing like this. She always saw him as flamboyant and someone who didn't let stuff get to him. Eren was so good at hiding his emotions it almost made her envious.

Right now, they were currently in the kitchen. None of them really uttered some words to each other. Eren was searching through the cabinets and fridge looking for something to eat. He was never hungry in the morning but he wanted to at least keep himself busy instead of sitting down in awkward silence.

"Urm are you hungry?" Eren asked leaning onto the kitchen counter playing with the kitchen towel.

"No," she quickly responded.

"Are you?"

"No,"

He walked up to the table she was sitting at taking a seat in front of her. Y/N rested her palm on her chin covering her mouth with her fingers in an attempt to hide her face. She eyed the dark marks under Eren's eyes. She was guessing he too didn't get enough sleep.

"What are you going to do today?" He asked.

"Probably get some more sleep and revise later on. We still got two more exams left," she uttered lowly as Eren nodded.

"How about you?" She asked.

"Most probably do the same," he simply replied.

They sat in a deafening silence again as Y/N fiddled with the Trinity necklace around her neck. Eren stared into space through the window submerging himself in his thoughts.

"Should we just go then?" Y/N spoke up breaking the silence and cutting Eren off from his long daydream.

"...yeah," he uttered slipping his crocs on as they both stood up.

〖✰ 〗Preview of the necklace in case any of you lot wanna buy it for me.
