new year new me. what a boring saying. it was so original. everyone said it as they made their new year resolutions. but you could never understand it as they broke it every single time.
it was like they were just saying something to join in with the crowd. so you wanted to do it too. you wanted to be in the crowd of liars.
so since it's finally the next year all you could say was
new year, new me.
✧༺ ༻∞ ∞༺ ༻✧
"your new year's resolution sucks ass"
the male groaned as his eyes traveled over to you. the brunette only blinked as he grabbed the cup of dr. pepper.
a buzz cut male let out a short laugh as he looked at eren "she's not wrong"
shrugging you hopped off of the chair you sat on "of course i'm not wrong" turning on your heel you headed over to the refrigerator. slipping your hand around the metal handle you opened it with a hard pull.
eren sat up in his seat as his head turned to face you "okay then what's your new year's resolution y/n?"
humming you looked around through the shelves grabbing onto a soda. "i don't have one."
the male squinted his eyes as he raised a brow. before he could utter a word connie interrupted him "well my resolution is to grow hair!"
as you flicked the tab up opening the can of soda, you couldn't help but break out into a small fit of laughter. hearing this connie pursed his lips as he sighed looking away
"i'm serious, i'm gonna grow my hair!"
eren gave him a weird look while he looked over at you. "can you hand me that chocolate bar?"
bringing the drink up to your lips you creased your brows. taking a small sip you turned on your heels facing the counter. finding the candy you reached your hand out while you gave eren a reply "no, get it yourself."
letting out a chuckle the male watched as you grabbed the sugary bar bringing it over to him. taking it out of your hands he gave you a nod "thank you, here i'll give you a kiss"
raising a brow you quickly backed away as the male leaned in "wait a second!". connie let out a cackle as eren only shrugged taking a bite out of the candy bar.
shaking your head you lifted up a hand waving the two off "i'm going to hang out with sasha"
whipping his head in your direction connie gasped "leaving us for her?!"
nodding your head you slid the back door open. taking a step forward you were welcomed in the backyard air before you slid the door closed.
your eyes scanned around in the backyard as you found the small group of girls all sitting at a table. smiling you started to make your way over there only to be stopped.
"y/n what did you do that night i covered for you?"
you absolutely loved how noisy she was. no matter what you did it peaked her interest. she seemed to be driven on watching your every move and you couldn't help but feel what's the word...
happy? regretful? sorry?
who knows.
turning your head to the side you gave her a smile "where's the fun in telling you that?". mikasa let out a small sigh as she crossed her hands behind her back "i was just wondering"
raising a brow you lifted your finger placing it onto your chin. giving it a few taps you shrugged "well i guess you'll have to wait. i wouldn't want to ruin the surprise."
taking a step forward you swirled the drink around in your hand. as your foot came in contact with the grass that seemed to be artificial, mikasa spoke again.
"i'm hoping whatever you did, doesn't affect me or eren."
furrowing your brows you gave her a quick glance "of course not, i made a promise didn't i?"
lies after lies. it was as if it was your second language. no matter how hard you tried to stop, your body refused, letting you slip out a few. but that was because it was always easier telling people what they wanted to hear.
you weren't that much of a horrible person. you had never made a promise to mikasa. there was never a given thing that you both talked about and agreed on.
all you said was not to worry about eren. and you didn't lie.
she quickly nodded her head recalling the small talk you both had in the library. "but still, i want to know what you did."
so demanding.
giving her a smile you walked off towards the table and took a seat by ymir. the two girls didn't notice you at first as they were engaged in a conversation. they went on to talk about a new place opening in paradis.
well of course a restaurant, and apparently a very good chef was going to be working there. sasha's eyes shifted over to you "hey you used to live in marley right?"
nodding your head you watched as mikasa strolled over taking a seat next to sasha.
"great! did you know a guy named niccolo?"
squinting your eyes you took a glance up trying to recall the name. "i don't know him personally, but he has a reputation for good food."
the girl cried out as her ponytail swayed with her sudden movement "we have to go there!"
ymir only blinked "i just told you we would."
disregarding the conversation you spoke on a different topic "twenty dollars connie shoots someone with a firework"
the raven haired girl who sat directly across from you laughed. her lips slowly turned into a small grin as her eyes chased over you "$50 y/n lights connie and sasha on fire"
the table immediately busted out into a fit of laughter as they imagined the two friends running around with fire all around them.
it slowly died down, once everyone began to regain their breath. ymir opened her mouth as she spoke "i just want to pop fireworks what the fuck is going on?"
shrugging you laid your hand onto your lap "who even knows" sasha immediately rolled her eyes "the boys are probably too busy talking about their crushes"
mikasa puffed out her cheeks looking over at the back doors. "i thought that was like girl talk?"
picking up a chip bag that sat on the table, sasha smiled. her eyes went over to you as she began to voice her thoughts "it is so why don't we talk about who we like?!"
scrunching your face up your lips separated to defend yourself, but ymir quickly cut you off short. which you were thankful for as she changed the conversation.
the sliding doors were harshly opened as a male popped out "get your asses inside, there finally here!"
getting up from the cushiony seat you looked over to the brunette who stood next to you "who's coming over?"
ymir only gave you a shrug as she was completely clueless. thankfully mikasa overheard you and decided to give you an answer "connie and eren invited a few people from marley."
your face only faltered for a second before you regained yourself. of course mikasa took notice but you pushed the thought away.
you had such a joyful smile but inside your mind you couldn't help but let out a blood curdling yell. not out of fear, no. it was slim that it would be anybody you knew, but with your luck it wasn't impossible.
you just hoped that it wasn't anyone you specifically knew and had history with. only because they didn't care what they said. because she had no filter.
you followed behind ymir as she entered the house. as your right foot stepped in, your ears welcomed the familiar voices you had learned so well. you didn't have to look at the figures to know exactly who they were.
a grin tugged at your lips as it couldn't help but tremble. it begged to let out a throaty laugh.
voices around you welcomed the group as they hugged and talked about what was happening. you on the other hand stood quietly. walking over to the trashcan you tossed your empty drink in.
connie, who was talking to the black haired girl, glanced over your way "oh, guys this is y/n!"
taking a step back you looked over to where connie was standing. you were greeted with pieck and of course her two followers. porco galliard and reiner braun. you had thought after time they would've left her but they're still here.
still standing by her just like in high school.
letting out a short hum you caught gazes with pieck. her body had froze after hearing the sound of your name. her arms that were once up waving at everyone, had dropped down to her side. the eyebrows she constantly plucked creased as her eyes traveled around you.
and that's when she shoved the confusion down and let the raging anger fill her body. and it showed as she was horrible at hiding things.
her fists balled up by her sides as she continued to stare at you, and you did the same.
tilting your head to the side you gave her a smile. the girl responded by opening her mouth but was quickly stopped by the male beside her.
porco quickly grabbed her forearm as he continued the conversation he was having with reiner. he was no idiot, he knew exactly what she was going to do.
looking away from the three your eyes drifted to a blonde. his face was drenched in a thinking stare. unlike the others he had taken yours and piecks so called 'meeting' into account.
clicking your tongue you looked away as you went over to the kitchen counter. lifting up your hand you reached for a bowl of chocolates. your finger grazed the top of one before you felt your hand be slapped and moved away.
blinking at the male you huffed as he grabbed a handful of the sweets. as his arm retreated you quickly lifted your hand and grabbed a few from his hold.
the brunette only laughed as you plopped one in your mouth "you're welcome"
furrowing your brows you gave eren a dirty look "thanks for slapping my hand away!"
rolling his eyes he lifted his hand dropping a couple of the small chocolates into his mouth. as he started to chew his adam's apple began to bob up and down.
"so do you know them?"
not giving him a reaction you simply shrugged "why do you ask?"
the male gave you a hum as his eyes scanned the three figures who had everyone's attention. "i just assumed you did because you used to live in marley."
your mouth opened to form a sentence but you quickly stopped to think. if anything, you can't lie forever. "i do know them, we went to high school together."
"does that mean you know that girl?"
lifting your hands you began to dust them off on your pants. "what girl?"
eren took a step back as he pulled a barstool over to his direction. taking a seat he watched as you leaned back onto the counter. your eyes glanced over at him awaiting his answer.
so he spoke "the girl who pieck poured orange juice on."
straightforward question, one you didn't know could run across his mind. you left your mind to assume reiner told him about that story. and from the looks of it he kept your name out of it.
but even if you answered that question truthfully why would eren want to know. so you answered half truthfully. if it came back to bite you in the ass you could always rely on the fact it's quite embarrassing to tell people you were that girl.
"how do you know about her?"
shrugging eren reached across the table to grab a napkin "i have a brother, well half brother who went to your school. the day it happened, he told me about it."
brother? what a nice factor to know. but your guess was as good as anybodys else's as to who it was. many kids attended that school and you had barely made connections with any of them.
not wanting to pry, as you would let him tell you, you turned your body to face eren "huh, what do you know about the girl?"
quirking a brow the male gave you a smile "why do you want to know what i think of her?"
grabbing a piece of candy you dropped it into your mouth letting your tongue swirl around it "because why would i tell you her name if you despise her for what she did after."
chewing on the chocolate you watched as eren slightly shook his head at your words. opening his mouth he fell right into your hole.
"i don't hate the girl. when my brother told me the story i felt proud of what she did. i mean pieck tortured the girl everyday and then she poured a bucket of orange juice on her. i mean that's a low move."
his eyes shifted away from you as they went onto the black haired girl. she smiled sheepishly as she turned to the male next her.
"bravo for exposing piecks ass is all i have to say."
surprised, that's what you were. it was always a fifty fifty with people. some believed in what you did while others despised you for it.
and you didn't care what they thought, people are allowed to have their own opinions. you would just judge them in your head.
"so who's the girl?"
looking back over at eren he was already facing you. his elbow sat on his thigh as he leaned over towards you, like you were about to tell him a life threatening secret.
your eyes scanned over his face as his flyaways continued to drift in his eyesight. giving him a small smile you shrugged "i don't know"
the male squinted his eyes at you "bullshit. come on tell me!"
as you were about to spill yet another lie, connie quickly intervened. his arms waved around in the air while he yelled out "let's play a game since we have an hour to go!"
the group was quite reluctant to join in as something always went wrong with the games. but they still got up not wanting to be bored anymore.
thanking connie in your head you lifted your arm to give eren a playful slap on the shoulder "well look at that!"
wanting to avoid erens dying question, you quickly walked away to the living room. connie stood next to the coffee table as he watched everyone find somewhere to sit.
taking a seat on the white couch you sunk into the cushions. right after, mikasa had taken a seat by you.
connie looked around the room to which he groaned "eren hurry the fuck up!"
while waiting for the male, connie began to give everyone a red solo cup. after they were all handed out he grabbed a bottle of vodka and filled everyone's cups to the brim.
eren entered the room not so long after. he walked towards the coffee table as he only gave connie a blank stare "what the fuck."
snickering, the buzz cut male picked up a cup and forcefully gave it to eren. "sit down!"
the brunette put his free hand up in the air, surrendering as he walked backwards. setting the cup on a marble colored side table he took a seat next to you.
connie let out a cheer as everyone was in the same room "fucking finally. we're playing never have i ever, but every time you've done something you take a big ass swig of your drink!"
a muffle of groans were heard across the room. sure the game was childish buts it's not like you guys had anything better to do.
sasha who sat on a couch across from you, instantly raised her hand "never have i ever been to a good restaurant!" once the words left her mouth she quickly lifted her cup up to her mouth.
lifting your own cup your lips pressed against the rim as you let the alcohol run down your throat. swallowing you only blinked as you could feel the burning sensation it had left behind. shaking your head a bit you looked up at connie who stared at sasha "that was the most shitty question ever"
everyone in the room had taken a drink and set it back down after scrunching their face at the taste.
sasha waved the male off as she nodded her head looking around the room.
ymir was the next one to go as she looked around the room. she sat there for a while trying to think of something good to ask. mikasa who sat by you furrowed her brows "the hell you thinking of?"
the girl only smiled "trying to think of something to get everyone to take a drink."
armin chuckled sheepishly as he silently prayed he didn't have to take another drink.
the female snapped her fingers "never have i ever been cheated on!"
sasha dropped her mouth open at the question as she watched half the group lift up their cups. you on the other hand shook your head looking around.
eren, mikasa, ymir, pieck and porco held their cups up and let the liquor flow down. connie blinked as he looked around the room "imagine!"
chuckling, you looked at the male "tough talk connie, you called me for three days straight because you needed girl advice."
the two girls who always had their hair in a ponytail instantly busted out laughing. connie dropped his jaw open as he pointed at you "never have i ever been hit by a door!"
furrowing your brows you lifted your finger to point back "it was you who hit me!"
sasha lifted her hand to bang on the table before she leaned back. shaking her head she quickly raised her hand "never have i ever shit myself!"
armin quickly put his hand over his mouth trying to hide that he was laughing. tears formed at the blondes eyes as he could remember that day very clearly.
pieck only glanced at everyone as her cup was almost empty. she paid no mind to anything as she took drinks of the alcohol. which might have been the worst thing to do as she was a lightweight.
connie waved everyone off as he crossed his arms "we're playing truth or dare!"
mikasa set her cup on the coffee table "why can't take the heat?"
puffing air into his cheeks he lifted his arms in the air "mikasa truth or dare!"
eren let out a chuckle at connie's antics. lifting his arm he put it on the edge of the couch. in other words right behind you. turning to look at him you squint your eyes.
smiling he lifted his hand that was behind you and pushed your head away from him.
"truth."
connie plopped down on the floor as he looked at mikasa "is it true you can do a backflip!" blinking you turned away from eren to look at the female.
rolling her eyes she leaned back into the couch "yes."
the males eyes instantly lit up as his mouth opened once again. mikasa saw where this was going and looked away "ymir truth or dare?"
connie gasped as he threw himself back onto the floor. ymir gave him a weird look before answering "dare"
"drink the rest of what's in your cup."
the female only shrugged, not daring to take a glance at how much was left. she lifted the red cup, throwing her head back with it. swallowing every once in a while she dropped her head back down tilting her cup upside down to show nothing was left.
mikasa nodded at the girl's success watching as she picked connie for her person. "truth or dare prickle hair."
the male sat up looking ymir for giving him a horrible nickname. sighing he pursed his lips hiding a smile "dare!"
smiling ymir crossed her arms "put twenty ice cubes in your underwear."
connie didn't think twice as he quickly got up running into the kitchen. the refrigerator door swung open as he started to grab the ice cubes.
pulling his pants forward he dropped the cubes as he counted out loud "holy fuck, 19.... 20!"
closing the door he started to walk back in the living room. waddling to his seat his face scrunched up as he felt the ice swish around covering his skin in the cold feeling.
sitting down onto the floor he sheepishly smiled at everyone "pieck truth or dare!"
laughing a bit at connie's state she smiled "truth"
connie gave her a blank stare as she picked a boring answer "is it true you and porco did the devil's tango?"
the girl furrowed her brows at the question as she smiled awkwardly. it was a weird thing to ask but she didn't expect much from connie. taking a side glance at the male beside her she nodded her head "we have."
connie extended his hand pointing at a blonde "pay the fuck up reiner!" the male let out a short sigh reaching in his right pocket. when his fingertips reached the leather wallet he pulled it out going through it.
grabbing a fifty dollar bill he threw it at the almost bald male. snatching the money off the ground connie smiled.
pieck paid no mind to the two as they were always betting something. instead her eyes landed onto you. with a smile forming on her face she spoke excitedly "y/n truth or dare."
"truth."
you didn't hesitate when you picked your answer. you knew what she wanted and you decided to give it to her. It was like waving a treat in front of a dog's face. everytime they jumped up to snatch it out of your grip, you simply stepped back.
and as you taunted the dog dangling the treat in front of her face she instantly jumped up craving to get it out of your hands.
"why did you move to paradis?"
and there it was. the answer the girl knew but craved for. if you already know the answer to a question, why ask it?
leaning back into the couch you automatically felt erens forearm from behind you. "because i heard it was a great town."
the girl raised a brow at your lie. of course it was easy to believe as no one in this room actually knew you that well. and she didn't either but she knew you well enough.
"you picked truth not a lie."
smiling, you watched as the two males beside her froze. it wasn't in fear it was the constant reminder they had going in their head of what you could do. you could take one step and all fingers would be pointed at them.
letting out a small sigh you realized how this was going to go "who said i was lying."
clicking her tongue, her hand pressed against the couch forcing her to sit up straight "are you trying to say you're not a liar?"
smiling you choked back a laugh "i was a liar to you, but that was the only occasion i let a lie slip."
the black haired girl went to speak only to be cut off by a question "you guys know each other?"
pieck's eyes went straight to armin as her mouth fell. "you didn't tell them about us?"
furrowing your brows you cocked your head to the side "sorry am i supposed to tell everyone i meet that you poured orange juice on my head?"
small gasps could be heard around the room.
everyone had heard the story.
pieck was rude to a girl in high school and poured a bucket of orange juice on her head. a couple days later the girl came back and exposed pieck of sleeping with a teacher. it was fair game.
reiner and porco instantly dropped their head down. they had always felt bad for you when pieck said something to you. but they always stood there and did nothing. it was utterly embarrassing.
"that's not what i meant."
the smile on your face got wider as her mind started to run wild. "then what did you mean? are you that insulted i told no one about you and your lap dogs."
furrowing her eyebrows she scoffed standing up from the couch "excuse me? you and i both know this won't last for long."
the girl took a couple steps forward as she stood a few feet in front of you. watching as she took in a deep breath you spoke "are you trying to resort to violence? looks like you haven't changed."
"and you have?! you're no different from me, you're even worse!" pieck exclaimed as her hands waved around signaling her distress.
your face dropped at her words as you innocently shook your head "so you pushing kids down staircases is better than me moving to paradis?"
shaking her head she dropped her hands by her side "i poured a drink on you, so you show people who i sleep with. i have to ask, what did yelena promise you?"
one thing about people you love is the urge to show their right even when they're wrong. people crave to be right in any situation as it boosts their well.. everything.
and pieck was one of those people. she wanted everything to flip back to normal. she wanted people to stop pointing fingers at her. as if she did something wrong.
you were some kid who was quiet. no one cared or gave you a second look. so why is she getting shit on for it? it was just a funny joke.
opening your mouth you went to defend your blonde friend only to be shut down completely.
"you were stupid back then and you still are. your first mistake was listening to whatever yelena told you! then you come back and throw my name in the dirt?!"
uncrossing your legs you stood up from the couch letting your feet touch the rug. it was soft so it was comforting in a way. if anything you would not let the black haired girl drag yelena into choices you made by yourself.
"my actions have nothing to do with yelena. stop trying to shift the blame and take responsibility for your wrong doings."
strike three.
laughing the girl shook her head rapidly "i admit that i did some fucked up shit in the past bu-"
"in the past? you're still doing it to this day. just because i left doesn't mean i don't know what you do."
pieck furrowed her brows on how you knew. you were out of earshot each time she said something to a kid in the hallway. hell you were about an hour away.
licking your lips you smiled at how silent she became "why are you quiet now? shouldn't you be laughing like you do in those videos when you terrorize that girl."
her jaw becomes unhinged as it drops. her mind froze as it prevented her from saying anything. your voice entered her ears as it rang throughout her head. it pounded around strapping her down to listen, to shut her mouth.
"you can't honestly stand there and think you've changed. you're still the same girl you were when you slept with that teacher."
quickly closing her mouth she bit down letting it clench. and finally her mind unfroze "and you think you've changed any better than i have?"
tilting your head to the left you grinned "haven't i?"
pieck separated her lips only to purse them. instead of speaking she chose physical contact. lifting up her arm she swung it back before letting it travel forward.
it was a quick movement as her hand came into contact with your left cheek. your head automatically moved to the right as you could feel the stinging spread throughout your cheek. your skin yelled out as her ring had grazed it.
the sharp edge on the piece of jewelry she wore left a cut on your cheek. a small leak of blood dripped down as your body rushed to repair it.
everyone in the room froze. the only one to make a sudden movement was mikasa as she quickly stood up. her gaze fully on pieck. you weren't surprised as the girl had laid her hands on you.
lifting up your hand you let your finger touch the wound. as you felt something wet touch your finger your furrowed your brows at how big it must have been.
slowly dropping your arm in front of you, you let your eyes scan over the red substance. how ridiculously stupid of her.
your body instantly reacted with a smile. pieck began to speak up but you blocked it out barely listening as it was just white noise. your mind broke into pieces as voices shouted at you.
you shouted at yourself.
letting out a short breathy chuckle you lifted your head to look at the female. you were never one for violence, that's just not who you were. you solved problems in a much different way, but that didn't mean you couldn't get violent.
after all she hit first, it would only be fair to return the favor.
your hand balled up into a fist as you made sure to have a good form. as pieck finished her last word you moved your hand back before you spiraled it forward. it viciously came into contact with her nose pushing her back.
losing balance she tripped back falling to the floor. her hand rushed to her now bloody nose. blood sprawled down her chin onto her hands.
half of your body felt refreshed but you didn't stop. hopping down you straddled the girl. gripping onto the collar of her shirt, you jerked her back before sending another punch her way.
once she was fully laying down you sent multiple hits to her face. watching as she restlessly continued to move her face, desperately trying to hide from your hits. but that only made her situation worse as your fist continued to ram into the side of her face forcing her back down on the floor.
the girl cried out as she could feel the blood leaking from her body but you couldn't care. after all the shit she had done to you, this is the least you could do to her. it wasn't even equal to what she had done, not even close.
your arm went back once again as you pushed it forward to deliver another punch. you were only cut off, as a pair of hands grabbed you from under your arms.
they pried you off of the bleeding girl below you. stepping back they wrapped their hand around your waist to prevent you from going back over.
reiner and porco quickly got up rushing to pieck as her head fell to the side. she licked her lips as she spit out a good amount of blood. the pain she felt was everywhere as she groaned not wanting to move.
but she did anyway. sitting up she lifted her hand to push porco away from her. getting the sleeve of her shirt she wiped off the blood from her face while her eyes were trained on your figure "you stupid bitch!"
letting out a cackle you threw your head back. it fell onto the unknown person's shoulder as their grip got tighter on you. your cackle soon involved in to a laugh as your eyes trained over her face "you never learn your lesson."
at the sound of your words the girl rushed to get off the floor but that resulted in her falling back down. she let out a groan as her right hand came to care for her head.
it was such a shame. she laid her hand on you first but couldn't dare to defend herself. which only gave her the path of getting her shit rocked.
your laughs disappeared into thin air as you inspected everything. connie stood by the coffee table as his hand gripped his phone. the flash was on as the device was pointed over to you.
his face was left in utter shock as his free hand covered his mouth to prevent him from laughing. sasha who stood next to you instantly lifted her hand giving you a thumbs up.
the person who was situated behind you finally spoke "are you calm now?"
blinking you turned your head to be met with a brunette. his brows were creased as his eyes stayed on your cheek. unraveling his arm from your waist he attached his hand to your chin moving it to the side.
glancing over the cut he let his eyes travel back up to pieck. seeing as the girl was no longer there he watched as porco held the female walking to the front door. reiner rushed around the living room collecting their stuff as he followed them out.
ymir broke the silence as she lifted her hands in the air "holy shit y/n!" connie quickly followed along as his hand was now placed by his side "you completely rocked her shit!" his face instantly dropped remembering the scene he just witnessed.
"remember that time i insulted you? me either, because it never happened."
giving the male a little laugh you watched as sasha started to violently shake the male "let me see the video!"
eren let go of you as he grabbed your arm pulling you along with him. "we'll be back."
the male nodded his head too focused on rewatching the video "make sure your out here soon, we're about to start fireworks because it's almost midnight"
nodding his head eren continued to drag you with him. walking down a hallway he lifted his free hand flipping a switch. the darkness disappeared without a second as the lights shined down.
with a quick turn he pushed a door open leading you into the average sized bathroom. giving you one last yank he propped you in front of the sink as he turned around to a closet.
you watched as he looked through shelves grabbing things but you couldn't tell what. but that wasn't the problem at hand.
although it was well deserved, you had laid your hands on pieck. well almost she hit you first. it was an unfair hit but the girl never liked talking things out anyways.
she concluded talking with 'her fists' always did the job. which was always humiliating for her because she generally just sucked at fighting.
a cloth landed onto your face as it wiped away the leaking blood that ran down your face. it wasn't a huge amount, only small drops like tears.
eren lifted up his hand setting his finger back onto your chin as he directed your head to the left of him. taking a glance at you he continued to wipe the red substance off "so you're the orange juice girl huh?"
raising a brow at the name you let your eyes roam on his concentrated face "what an embarrassing name."
the male let out a small laugh as he put the rag onto the counter. picking up an alcohol wipe, he ripped open the small package taking the even smaller piece out.
when he touched the wound your body instantly moved at the feeling. the stinging started to form each time eren wiped the cut. it wasn't a bad feeling but it was pleasant either "too scared to tell me it was you?"
giving the brunette a look you let your tongue wander to the inside of your cheek "i try to refrain telling people i got a bucket of orange juice dumped on me in high school."
nodding eren unpackaged the bandaid he had in his grasp. peeling off the last little tab he pressed it against your face. his fingers grazed against your skin as he made sure it was on perfectly.
you noticed how soft his hands were. it honestly surprised you as most men had dry rough hands.
he towered over your body as you had leaned back onto the counter to get a good look of him. "so now that you beat piecks ass what are you going to do now?"
giving him a smile you shrugged as you hadn't gotten to that point yet "who knows maybe i'll do it again."
eren let out a small laugh as his head dropped down. his hair came forward as it was already loose from the man bun.
his head shook slightly as he slowly lifted his head back up. it always seemed like you two always got into this situation.
the bathroom was big as there was a lot of room. so why we're you two so close? you could feel the air exit his nose as it rushed onto your skin. his cologne filled your senses as you smelled the fresh scent.
it wasn't too strong, it was undeniably perfect.
the voices of your friends could be heard as they shouted out numbers. they began to countdown from twenty, waiting for midnight to hit so they could light up a show of fireworks.
so they could scream happy new years.
and sure you should have been there with them but why would you? you were stuck, frozen in place as you heard connie yell out 18.
your eyes scanned across his face, just like you had before. just like you did at the beach.
his eyes, hair, arms, biceps, neck, lips.
all of it came into contact with your gaze.
"16!" sasha shouted.
what was it with him? why was it every time you stood by him a giddy feeling entered your body. the feeling was so weird. it wasn't like you. god it was indescribable but your body craved for that feeling.
why was he so addicting to you?
mikasa let out a scream spinning around "10!"
he caught your eye and you didn't know why.
"FUCKING 9!"
your head tilted slightly as you continued to stare. you watched as his eyes flickered around your figure as his mouth was barely open.
licking your lips you let out a whisper scared that if you were to talk normally, you would have to leave.
"we should go join them."
eren hummed at your comment acknowledging that connie had asked for you guys to be there. but he didn't care. his body moved on its own as he started to lean down towards you.
his eyes reminded you of so many things. they were so calming to look at. maybe that's why you always tried to catch his gaze.
leaning forward you met the male halfway as you both engaged in a kiss. you immediately took notice of how soft his lips were. they moved in a rhythm as you followed it like a melody.
"ONE HAPPY NEW YEARS!" fireworks went off in the background as they rang in your ears. but you put the noise aside too focused on the prize at hand.
lifting up your right hand it went straight for his neck as your fingers traced his skin. your pointer finger drew shapes as they soon found their way to his hair. tugging at it you watched as the male responded by smiling.
his hands raised to your hips as they traveled around the waistband. they lingered there only for a second before he traveled higher. his hand went straight for your throat as his fingers pressed into your skin letting the pleasant feeling sink in your head.
tilting your head up more you gave his hand free range to do whatever. at this small action you begged him to squeeze harder, and he complied.
taking a step forward he backed your body into the counter as he ran his tongue along your lip demanding for you to open.
of course you didn't comply as you only gave his hair a pull before letting your hand drop down to his torso.
his own hand attached to your hip as he pushed you against the countertop harder letting your mouth fall open at the cold surface. accepting his success, he slipped his tongue into your mouth instantly exploring.
your hand traced lines onto his stomach as you leaned your body up craving for more.
breaking back from the kiss your mouth took a deep breath of air letting it refill your lungs.
the male let go of your neck as he tilted your head back. his mouth opened to let words slipped but he was cut off.
"hurry the fuck up!"
connie screamed on the other side of the door as his foot repeatedly kicked it.
at this point it would be hard to deny the truth. no, it would be tiring as the truth can't be kept forever.
maybe yelena was right,
maybe you did like him.
