❧ "Yo Armin i'll be coming home late again," Eren waited for Armin to fist bump him back. You unzipped your side pocket from your jacket and shoved your phone in it as you walked towards Eren who was at his friend's table.

"Again? Where you going now?" Armin fist bumped Eren. You noticed the black hair girl staring at you as you stood beside Eren. You knew that her name was Mikasa or something like that and you also remembered that was Eren's ex, just like Chanel told you. You gave her a small smile which she slowly returned one back.

"Hi Armin," you waved at the blonde.

"Hey Y/n," Armin smiled back at you and then turned to look at Mikasa, "Oh I don't think you've met Mikasa yet?"

"Uh no actually, Hi i'm y/n," you stuck your hand out, waiting for her to shake it which she did indeed.

"I'm Mikasa," she greeted, "Hm, you're really pretty Y/n."

"Aw thank you Mikasa, you're pretty too."

Eren looked at the both of you and noticed you're interactions with her. Mikasa smiles at you but also purposely looks at Eren which caused Eren to look away.

"So are you and Eren a thing or what?" Mikasa whispers to you, placing her chin on the back of her hand.

"Not at all," you shook your head, laughing softly, "We're getting close though."

Mikasa hums in response, "Oh okay.."

You hear Eren scoff beside you. What was that about? you thought to yourself. You glanced another tall man walking towards the table. You also remembered that his name was Jean, also because you remembered Chanel telling you this.

"Ready to go babe?" Jean rubbed Mikasa's back, "Eren."

"Horse face," Eren looked at Jean, intensely.

"Can you say me name at least once dammit."

"Hm lemme think about it," Eren stroked an air beard, "Nah." Jean rolled his eyes and patted Mikasa's shoulder, signalling for her to get up. Mikasa gets up and drapes her jacket over her shoulders. After Mikasa finishes doing that, Jean wraps his arms around her staring at Eren.

Whatever was going through Eren's mind, he didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around you. He looked back at Armin and pointed at you, "I'm getting Chinese with Y/n."

"Ereeeen you're choking me," you repeatedly patted his arm, dramatically gasping for air. Mikasa stared at Eren as Eren on the other hand had a huge grin on his face. Armin looked back from Mikasa and Eren and noticed the tension between the both of you. Shiii he even noticed Jean glancing from you and Eren.

"Uhh okay see you later Eren," Armin got up and patted his back, slightly pushing him away from his table. Eren loosened his tightness from wrapping his arm around you and walked with you towards the door.

"What was all that about?" you looked up Eren.

"What was what about?" Eren looked straight ahead.

"Nevermind." you decided to shrug it off.

"We should lwalk faster before Chanel finds us," you tugged his jacket.

"Yeah you're right about that one," Eren chuckled.

"After you princess," Eren opened the door for you, letting you walk in first.

"Thank you pretty boy," you smiled at him and walked into the restaurant. The restaurant wasn't too crowded but it wasn't too deserted either. Murmurs and conversations continued as you kept walking towards the front of the restaurant.

"Good Evening," a tall, slim woman came up to the podium with menus in her hands. You assumed she was an employee here just by the uniform she was wearing.

"Hi," was the only thing you could say.

"Uh It's just two people for today," Eren came up beside you, holding up two fingers. The employee nodded, grabbing two menus and motioned for the two of you to follow her.

The waitress led you two to the back of the restaurant and placed the menus onto a table, "Do you want any drinks for now?"

"Yeah I'll have some water," you said.

"I'll have the same," Eren told the waitress.

"Okay I'll be back in a few minutes to take your orders."

"Thanks" you and Eren said at the same time. Eren chose to sit across from you as you sat on the opposite side from him. Without waiting any second, you opened the menu and started looking for things to order. Eren did the same.

"Whatchu gonna order," Eren placed his chin on his hand and wiggled his fingers, feeling his fingertips tap against his face.

You took off your coat, looking down at the menu, "Uh probably some fried rice you?" you shook your arm so you could remove your coat.

"Rice with sweet and sour chicken," Eren looked back at the menu in front of him. You reached for you coat pocket to grab your phone for the time being.

"Woah woah woah what're you doing?" said Eren.

"I'm about to use my phone.." you stopped moving your hand in your pocket.

"While we're on a date? No ma'am," Eren reached for your arm, leaning over the table.

"Boy if you don't," you moved away from him, "This isn't a date, i'm just out here eating with you."

Eren slouched in his seat, "Hmph." You finally took your phone from your pocket and unlocked it, already opening the tik tok. You're life revolved around tik tok. You didn't care how toxic it was, the app was the only way humor could get through you. Eren watched you smile at your screen everytime your finger moved across the screen just to swipe.

"Is that tik tok?" said Eren.

"Uh huh," you didn't look up from the screen, "Do you have tik tok?" you perked your head up with a huge grin on your face.

"Nah that app is for kids," Eren shook his head, trying not to smile.

"Now that's a damn lie...I know you have tik tok account."

"Maybe I do...you'll never find it."

"Boy I have twitter, don't play with me," you tilted your head to the side, staring at Eren.

"Okay what's twitter gonna do?"

You let out sharp laugh, "They'll find your account in less than a day, period." Eren crossed his arms together and shook his head. You grinned at him and looked back at your phone screen.

"Alright are you two ready to order," the waitress came up to your table with your glasses of water and pulled out a notepad and a pen from her pocket.

"I'll have fried rice," you looked up at the waitress.

"I'll have white rice with sweet and sour chicken," Eren added. The waitress nodded as she wrote down the orders.

"Alright your food will be ready in about 15 minutes," The waitress puts the notepad and pen in her pocket and took the menus, walking back to the front. While you went back on your phone, Eren was thinking of different things to start a conversation with you.

"Am I still getting my bacon?" Eren asked.

"Nope," you made a popping noise with your mouth and laughed at Eren's reaction. His mouth parted open as his face was a expression of betrayal.

"You lied to me?!" Eren placed his hand on his chest.

"It's not THAT big of a lie, plus you've probably lied to me about worse things and I wouldn't have known," you shrugged, looking back at your phone screen. Eren stayed silent and just stared at you. You looked back at Eren and raised your eyebrow, "What?" you questioned.

"Nothing..." Eren shook his head. He sat back in his seat, slouching once again. Okay...that was weird.

--

"One plate for you aaaand one plate for you, enjoy!" the waitress placed each of your plates in front of the both of you before walking away. You and Eren said your thanks and started eating. As you watched Eren eat, a funny thought came across your mind. You tried so hard to not spit your food out from laughter just thinking about it.

You opened the tik tok app and scrolled through your favorite sounds. By making sure the volume wasn't too loud, you place the speaker to your ear, to have only you hearing the sound. You pressed the record video button and started recording Eren.

"He fuckin' that shit up....eat eat eat eat."

You started dying of laughter while you were recording the video. Eren stopped chewing and slowly lifted his head up to look at you. You felt like he was staring into your soul as he finished chewing the food that was in his mouth.

"What was that?" Eren placed his eating utensil on his plate. He looked at your phone that was in your hand, "Gimme the phone."

"Uh uh," you shook your head.

At a slow pace, Eren got up from his seat and walked up to your side, "Give me it."

You backed away from him, clenching your phone in your hand, "Nooooo get away," you started to shoo him away with your hand as he started moving closer. He placed his knee on the chair and began reaching for the phone.

"Give me."

"I'm not posting it thooooough," you whined.

"Don't care, give it to me."

You wouldn't give in. You weren't the type to just give up things that easily. You curled yourself into a ball, holding onto your phone with all the force you had. Eren placed his hand on top of the chair, hovering over you as he used his free hand to try and grab your phone.

"Eren I said get ba- AH stop that tickles," you were interrupted by Eren's tickles. Your laughter went on and on but you still didn't give in. Eren grew annoyed and grabbed onto your arm, pulling you up. Damn, he's strong strong, you thought to yourself.

You and Eren's forehead nearly bumped into one another as he pulled you up. You were facing him eye to eye, still having your phone clenched in your hand. All you could do was smile at Eren as he continued to stare at you, holding onto your arm.

"Don't start something you can't finish Eren," you said boldly. (props to andre, we all know what he meant 🙄🙄)

"Bold enough for you to think that," Eren let's go of your arm and walked back to his seat to finish his food. You smirked and saved the video, putting your phone down on the table.
