"Eren pass this to Chanel!"

Eren looked over his shoulder and rolled his eyes as he noticed the candy pouch in Historia's hand, "M&Ms?Really?"

"Just pass it to her."

Eren sighed and took the M&M's from Historia. Eren kicked the back of Chanel's chair, causing her to whip her head back, "What?"

"Historia told me to give you these," Eren waved the candy in front of her. Chanel squealed and took the candy from Eren's hand, nodding and smiling at Historia. Chanel opened the pack of candy and offered you some.

"Nah I'm good," you shook your head. Ms Brown clapped her hands again but louder this time.

"Okay everyone today we're going to continue working on your clothing designs," She walked up to the podium, "This time i'm gonna assign each of you a person that will be modeling your design."

"Ou ou ou!" Sasha raised her hand.

"Yes Sasha?" Ms Brown said in a annoyed tone.

"Solo or Duo's?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like are we gonna be in groups of two making our designs or are we doing them independently?"

"Since we only have four people modeling, I might have to put people in pairs," Ms Brown pulled her glasses to her nostrils, "Did that answer your question?"

"Yeah," Sasha responded.

"Alright," Ms Brown grabbed the folder that was on her desk and opened the folder in front of her, onto the podium, "The models are Eren, Ymir, Jean, and Mikasa."

"Wait but I don't even model?"Jean blurted out.

"Too bad," Ms Brown finished reading the rest of the list, "Designers are Y/n, Chanel, Historia, Sasha, Connie, and Armin."

"Can you tell us the groups already," Eren groaned, growing bored and impatient.

Ms Brown pushed her glasses back up,"Jean will be modeling for Sasha and Connie, Ymir will be modeling for Historia and Chanel, Mikasa will be modeling for Armin, aaaaand Eren will be modeling for Y/n." Ms Brown closed her folder shut.

Your eyes opened widely as you heard your name being called after Eren's. Eren cleared his throat as he slouched a bit in his seat.

"My beautiful children please proceed to get with your groups, or partner, to start discussing your designs," Ms Brown drummed her fingers against the podium stand. Footsteps moved after Ms Brown's command. Chanel didn't have her supplies so she had to go ask Ms Brown for some things.

"Hey princess." Eren says. He sounded way more confident compared to the morning he spoke to you in the lounge. You watch Eren pull out the wheelie chair, sitting on it backwards.

"Hey," you crossed your left leg over your right as you spun your chair to face him. You opened your bag, taking out your sketchbook and your smaller bag that had all your pencils, markers, erasers, pens, colored pencils and etc.

"Nice" Eren took your supply case and looked through it, holding some supplies in his hands.

You opened your sketchbook to a fresh page and tapped your pencil against the table, "What do you like in clothing?" you asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Eren zipped your supply case close.

"Like...your style."

Eren looked at you and stayed silent, probably thinking of an answer. "I don't know," Eren shrugged. You slowly looked him up and down, scanning his outfit.

"Ah checking me out already huh?" Eren smirked.

You exhaled a soft chuckle and clicked your tongue while shaking your head, "Hate to crush your dreams but nah, i'm just tryna figure out your style just by what you're wearing."

Eren sighed and placed his head on his crossed arms that were on the head of the chair, "Yeah okay." You shook your head, fluffing your hair a bit. You started to sketch a male body reference onto the page, Eren watching you closely.

"You ride a motorcycle don't you," you grinned as you kept sketching.

Eren lifted one eyebrow, "How'd you know?"

"Leather jacket, hair bun, the way you talk, you look desperate for a toothpick to chew on just by the way you're biting your inner cheek right now," you shrugged.

"Alright...but what does that have to do with anything?" Eren questioned, sitting up a bit.

"I need inspiration for my design and being a biker is a good one."

Eren hummed, twirling a strand of his hair, "Well you know something about me, what about you?" You bit the corner of your bottom lip, "I told you and Chanel about my butterfly tattoo."

"Yeah...it looked badass by the way."

"Thanks," you placed your pencil down and showed your sketchbook to Eren, "Okay, what do you think?"

"Oh shit," Eren took the sketchbook out of your hand, "I like it." A smile plastered on your face as you took your sketchbook back.

You heard Ms Brown clear her throat "Okay everyone it's getting real late now-"

"It's only 5 o'clock?" Chanel spoke up.

"So? Daylight saving times exist. Anyways, y'all can still work on your design and maybe even work on everything at home if you have the supplies you need." Ms Brown walked back to her desk to start packing up her things, "Now get out."

You started to pack up your things, Eren also getting up and fixing his jacket. Chanel skipped over to you with another pack of M&Ms in her hands, "See you tomorrow Y/n!!"

"Bye Chanel," you smiled at Chanel. Everyone else were taking their time but as for you, you were ready to head out. You opened the door and walked out of the studio.

"Y/n."

You looked over over your shoulder and saw Eren walking up to you, "Yeah?"

Eren shoved his hands into his pockets, "Its kinda dark out..want me to walk you home?"

You clicked your tongue and parted your mouth a bit, waiting for words to leave your mouth, "Uh sure." You started to turn back around to the head down the hallway but Eren quickly stopped you.

"Oh we can just head out the back door," Eren pointed towards the end of the hall. You followed behind Eren slowly. You shivered a bit once you walked out. The temperature dropped a bit which meant it was more colder than before.

Eren glanced at you, "You're cold aren't you..here have my jacket," Eren started to take off his jacket. You shook your head.

"Don't you need it?"

"It's fine, just take it," Eren wrapped his jacket over your shoulder.

"Thank you."

You kept walking to the direction of your apartment, Eren following beside you. The silence was awkward...too awkward. You didn't know how to strike up a conversation, especially with someone you just met a few hours ago.

You and Eren walked across the crosswalk and you turned to the direction where your apartment was. After a few minutes you finally reached the building.

"Ah man," you groaned softly. You unzipped your bag and looked for you phone to call Hakeem.

"What?" Eren looked down at you.

"I don't have an extra key so I gotta call my friend."

"Do you not live here?"

"Yeah but I just recently moved in with my friend...ah found ya," you pulled your phone out of your bag and unlocked it to call Hakeem. Eren made duck lips with his mouth as he nodded, looking up at the building.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Hakeem, you ain't give me an extra apartment key."

Eren raised his eyebrows at you. Hearing you speak a different way honestly shook him a bit.

"You ain't ask for one."

"What kind of roommate are you Hakeem."

"A good one."

"Nigga if you don't get yo ass down here and open this damn door, it's freezing."

You heard Hakeem suck his teeth over the phone, "Fine I'm coming down."

"And hurry up," You hung up the phone and walked up to the front door, waiting for Hakeem at the door, "Uh we should you know...exchange numbers to stay in contact for our clothing design thingy." you suggested to Eren.

Eren agreed walking up towards you, "My phone's in my pocket," Eren stood beside you as he dug his hand in his jacket pocket.

"Y/n get yo negro ass in he- WOAH and who is this?"Hakeem peaked his head through the door, looking at you and Eren. Eren finished grabbing his phone and unlocked it, opening his phone app.

"This is Eren.." you mumbled as you gave Eren your phone and taking his.

"Not you already having a lil boo thang," Hakeem snickered.

You glared at Hakeem, "He's not my lil boo thang, we're just partners for my fashion design project."

"Mhmm.." Hakeem hummed, "Y/n hurry up and get in...my ankles icing up."

You saved your number onto Eren's phone, him doing the same, "See you tomorrow Eren."

"Night," Eren smirked at you, "Oh wait my jacket."

You clicked your tongue in realization and handed him his jacket. You waved goodbye to him and walked into the building. Hakeem wouldn't stop wiggling his eyebrows at you as the both of you went up the elevator and into the apartment.

"You know...he's kinda cute if you ask me." Hakeem shrugged opening the door.

"Don't let Shawn catch you saying that shit," you pointed at him.

"Please," Hakeem waved your finger away as he let you walk into the apartment first.
