12 • bonfire

"and who said romance was dead." you mutter and plop down in the chair.

eren laughs as he slides over a glass of orange juice. "sleep well?"

"yeah, actually. why didn't you wake me up? take me home?"

he shrugs, shoving a forkful of food into his mouth. he finishes chewing and swallowing before he opens his mouth to speak. "why would i wake you up knowing that that was probably gonna be the only time you slept this week?"

you raised a brow, knowing he was more than likely correct. you also didn't want to show how flustered this made you knowing how much attention to detail he was giving you. "touché."

"anyways, i don't know if you saw the group-chat text but everyone wants to head to the beach later since it's still warm out and end the night with a bonfire. you in?" he asked.

you take a sip from you orange juice as you nod your head. "i'm in."

you pull out your phone and see a couple missed calls and texts from your roommates as well as the group chat eren was referring to. your eyes almost fell from their sockets as you read a message sasha had to you in your private chat reading "is your v-card still intact? 🤣"

"what happened?" eren asked. he was just clearing his plate as he noticed your reaction. he got up from his spot and began walking back into the kitchen to load up his dishwasher.

"n-nothing. just some assignment i forgot i had due." you easily lied.

eren just nodded in response as he continued loading up. "after you finish, i'll drop you back off so you can get ready for later."

"i appreciate that." you gave him a small smile to which he returned.

______________

after arriving back at your dorm, you immediately announced that your virginity was still in tact and would not be leaving any time soon. sasha let out a whine meanwhile annie gave you an earful about how some good dick was what you need. mikasa scolded the two to get ready and leave you be so you could get ready yourself. you sent her a grateful smile as she nodded and you all disbursed into your own rooms.

it was then that you realized you didn't really pack any swimsuits besides an old lilac one piece. you were sure the other girls would be sporting bikinis and worried that a one piece suit would make you look like a prude. you shrugged off those thoughts and hurriedly changed into it, sliding into some jean shorts and a pair of flip flops. you threw a book, headphones, sunscreen and some sun glasses into a tote bag before meeting the others in the living area.

after seeing everyone was ready, you all piled into mikasa's car and headed towards the beach. it was about a 45 minute car ride that was filled with lighthearted chatter and sasha's terrible sing along.

"so you guys just studied and then fell asleep to shrek?" annie blurted as she turned the radio.

you shrugged, scrolling through your phone. "pretty much."

"his instagram story says otherwise." mikasa smirked.

you narrowed your eyes as they made contact with yours in the review mirror. "what do you mean?"

"you're telling me you didn't even see that he tagged you in it?" sasha scoffed.

before anyone could say anything else, you quickly opened the instagram app and clicked on your notifications. and then you saw that you had been tagged in a story. you clicked on the image and saw that it was a picture of eren's hands in your hair, your face not showing as it was directed towards the tv which displayed shrek. his caption read 'guess she didn't like my movie choices :/ @lifeofyn". you added the story to your own, not adding any caption before locking the device.
