BASEMENT OF THE SURVEY CORPS HEADQUARTERS – 11:30PM

"SASHA! THERE YOU ARE! DID YOU GET IT?" Connie yelled.

Mikasa quickly glared at Connie, "Connie, keep your voice down." Mikasa told him.

Jean looked at the group, "Well he's right, if she didn't this would have been such a waste of time." "GUYS! Of course! You think I wouldn't get it?!" Sasha said as she pulled a couple of bottles of liquor out from under her jacket. "The basement was full of this stuff, how come they never told us about this before?!" she exclaimed.

"You really think they're going to let a bunch of seventeen year olds drink? Hah." Mikasa addressed. "OH WHO CARES? LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Mikasa glared at Connie once more. "Oh... I mean... Let's get this party started.." Connie whispered. Mikasa looked away. Sasha opened the first bottle, and took a gulp "WOW THAT IS SOME STRONG STUFF…" "Give it here!" Connie grabbed the bottle and took a huge gulp himself, put the bottle down and made a sour face. "God this is horrible..." he said and took another gulp before Jean grabbed the bottle and said "Guys, shouldn't we use cups or something? I mean, I don't really want to share a bottle with Eren." He turned to glare at Eren who was too busy not giving a damn about what Jean had to say. "Listen, I don't like the idea of sharing a damn bottle with you either, horse-face. If you want to find some cups, then get your ass up and do so!" Eren blurted and grabbed the bottle out of his hands only to down what seemed like three shots at once. Jean got up and grumbled "Damnit Eren…" and walked towards the door.

"JEAN! Where do you think you're going?!" Armin asked him. "TO FIND CUPS WHERE ELSE?" Jean had a shitty tone to his voice, but the 'party' went on.

"Eren take it easy… Not so fast!" Armin exclaimed. The blonde looked at Eren, already showing some effect the alcohol had on him. "Eren…"

Jean walked back into the room a few minutes later holding a couple of plastic cups. "Alright. I got cups, only a couple though so let's do this." Jean handed cups out to Mikasa, Armin and kept one for himself. "Well?" he said staring at Eren. Eren looked at him and poured some liquor into their cups. "Alright well, here's to the shitty life we live!" Jean toasted and swallowed his in one go. "Ugh… that's vile."

Eren took another swing at the bottle. All he wanted for tonight was to forget the pain of losing friends, the pain of losing his family. All he had left were Armin and Mikasa, and hell, Mikasa wasn't even actually related to him. He turned to look at her; sitting poised sipping her drink slowly. None of them had ever drank before, so seeing her do this was out of character. He giggled to himself.

"Eren?' She asked. 'What's so funny?"

"Huh? Oh n-nothing…" He hiccupped and started wobbling side to side, and everyone turned to look at him. "God damn it Eren! You're going to drop the bottle and someone's going to hear, come barging through the damn door and kick our asses for this. Look, just give it to me." Jean reached over to grab the bottle from Eren's hands.

Eren being as stubborn as he was obviously would not let go.

"I'm fine! Just leave me alone!" He pulled the bottle back and pushed Jean away with his free hand. "You're going to drop it dumbass! Do you want to get us all in trouble?!" Jean replied grabbing and pulling the bottle harder.

"Guys stop it! One of you guys is going to end up getting hurt, just leave it alone! We're all here just trying to have a good time!" Connie exclaimed.

"Would you listen to yourself Connie?! Good time?! What are you living in some crap fantasy of yours that you have including tons of hot babes all over you or something?! Be real! Our lives fucking SUCK. There is no such thing as a damn GOOD TIME for us anymore." Eren yelled. The room went quiet and everyone looked down. Connie rubbed his head and turned away as if to say 'Sorry' but not quite.

"Damn it Eren, all your yelling! You're going to get us in shit!" Jean pulled the bottle once more freeing it from Eren's grasp but had pulled to hard. The bottle went flying pouring liquor all over the room and finally, hit the floor and smashed to pieces.

"ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY NOW?!" Jean yelled, ready to raise a fist against Eren. Mikasa quickly jumped in to protect Eren before Jean could even swing his arm. "STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU." She roared. Armin, Sasha and Connie stood up. Ready to leave knowing someone must have heard the bottle smash if not, at least heard Eren and Jean yelling back and forth. Armin opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could Eren spoke up. "Damn all of you, you're all just living in some bullshit world. Get real. We don't get to live happily. Not when those fucking MONSTERS are out there." and with that, stormed out of the room.

SURVEY CORPS HEADQUARTERS SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY/EREN'S BEDROOM – 12:05PM

Eren walked up the stairs the best he could, after all he was drunk off his ass. He tilted his head up and saw none other than Corporal Levi holding some files in his hands down the hall. Great. He thought to himself. Fucking great. Of all the people… Levi looked up from his papers and saw Eren wobbling down the hall. "Eren. What are you doing? Isn't it past curfew?" Levi demanded. Eren looked up at his Captain "SHUT UP!" He replied and stopped in his tracks. Feeling sick to his stomach he didn't even know if he could make it to his room at this point. "Fucking brat. What's your problem? Hey. HEY. Are you listening to me?" Levi raised his voice at Eren and stared at him from down the hall. "Go to hell damn it." Eren answered. "You think you're SO great! Big shot Corporal Levi! Fuck off! I don't need shit from yo-" Eren paused, and put his hand on his stomach and the other on his mouth. He let out a painful moan "Shit…" He leaned against the wall and looked down at the floor. Ready to let it all out… Levi walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulder. "Listen I don't know what the hell your damn problem is, but you look like a real big pile of crap right now. So how about you just shut up and walk to your room before you puke all over the damn floor." Levi suggested. Eren looked up at him, feeling both disgusted and tired. He just wanted to get to bed. After drinking all that liquor, yelling at his friends, and now his Captain, he was tired beyond belief. "Ugh fine…"

They both slowly walked to Eren's room, making sure he didn't blow chunks all over the floor. The two finally reached Eren's room and Levi opened the door. "Alright, come on." Levi dragged Eren into the room and shoved him off his shoulder onto the bed. Eren grabbed his shoulder and pulled him on top of him. "Stay…"Eren was falling asleep so this mumbling meant nothing to Levi. He walked back towards the door to leave when Eren said it again "Please… Stay…" Levi released the handle and turned to look back at Eren. He leaned against the door and crossed his arms. "Why should I stay huh?" Levi smirked and asked the sleepy drunk. Levi walked towards Eren's bed only to see that he'd already fallen asleep. All of this was just mumbling. Levi sighed and pushed his hair back. "You idiot…" he turned back and walked out the door.
