CHASE

Sound of door closing. Eren had just left his flat on 5th floor of the block. He headed to the staircase and ran his hand along the bannister as he rushed all the way to the ground floor. The walls of the building had been painted recently with light grey and the smell of the paint captivated Eren's nose. The doors were dark green, almost black. Eren stepped outside taking a deep breath. It was 5 am and time for his morning jog. His mind was blank, he didn't want to think anything, just run. He always felt better after running, it was his escape. It was about 6 am when he returned. He put the kettle on and went to take a shower. The hot water felt good even if he had just sweated a ton. His muscles had relaxed by the time he washed his hair and body. Stepping out and wrapping a towel around his waist, Eren took a look in the mirror. He had dark circles under his big green eyes and a bruise on his shoulder. Sigh, when was the last time he looked this awful? With no time to waste, Eren eyed the newspaper as he sipped the black liguid, seeing nothing notable. Putting the yellow mug into the sink, he headed for his closet to pick clothes for today. White tee and a pair of dark blue jeans, that was his usual set of clothes. His shift started at 7:30 am, he had about 30 minutes of spare time. He thought that going by foot instead of bike, would be good for a change. He threw a greyish brown coat on his shoulders, took his bag and shoved his keys in his pocket.

Clouds were blocking the sun and it made everything look grey and cold. Much like Eren's world was at the moment. He used to be a happy, social person, but after his mother died three years ago, he had been sulking and people took advantage of his most vulnerable state. He had dated a few guys during his depression just because he had nothing better to do. He had just went along with them, never arguing or mentioning his own feelings or opinions on the relationships. He didn't care about himself anymore and felt quilty for his mother's death. Talking to therapists didn't help: they told Eren to stop thinking about it and move on with his life. He knew it was pathetic for a 20 year old man to wallow in self pity, but he couldn't help himself. His friends were always there for him, comforting him, showing that they care. Currently Eren's best friends were his sister Mikasa, who they had adopted after an accident and Armin, who Eren had known his whole life.

After walking downtown and more crowded area, Eren saw a familiar, red building with large windows and a big, flashy sign: Le Colossal. He slipped into a back alley and stopped in front of the back door to the restaurant. Taking the keys out of his pocket, Eren sighed in preparation for an exhausting day before finally unlocking the door. It's not that he hated his job as a waiter.. He just didn't like that Jean, his ex, worked there. He was a chef though so Eren didn't bump into him that often, thank god.

The first customers would appear at 8 am and there would be a few regulars who's tables Eren served. He headed to the locker room to change his clothes and make himself look presentable. After changing from tee & jeans to a dress shirt & black suit pants, Eren brushed his hair and slicked it back with gel. Deciding not to give a fuck about the dark circles under his eyes, he made his way through the kitchen and to the dining hall. After the kitchen, a hallway with colorful paintings covering its dark brown walls lead into the dining room. The floor changed from the kitchens shiny grey of steel to dark and smooth wood. The hallway opened into a large, wide- windowed room with a few paintings here and there. Most of the light the room needed came through the windows during daytime. Nearing evening, the room was dim lighted, covered in warm colors from the small, orange lamps on each table. There were corner tables surrounded with sofas for bigger groups and smaller for two to four people all around the room. From the main entrance a white, long carpet led to the reception desk that was covered in unnecessary toys and decorations that the receptionist had collected.

Eren yawned once again, taking the black apron from a shelf under the reception desk and tying it around his slim waist in a second. Eren heard a loud bang from the back door, followed with low murmuring. He peeked around the corner to listen carefully who had come in. Eren was usually the first to arrive and the others followed soon. He didn't hear anything after a while so he decided to sit at the reception desk and wait. He checked the time on his phone. Only 10 minutes till the restaurant would be open.

The back door swung open with the ring of loud giggling. It could only be Sasha. She was always happy and in a good mood. Eren envied her a little for that. She was well suited for her job as a receptionist because people liked her. A few minutes had passed, Eren had got lost in his thoughts but snapped back to reality when he received a tap on his shoulder. Looking behind him, he saw familiar golden brown eyes and a wide smile, "mornin' Eren!" Sasha greeted in a loud but cheerful voice.

"Oh, morning." Eren squinted her a smile as he stood up, letting Sasha pass into her working spot.

"Did you sleep well? Any good dreams?" She asked checking the papers on her desk.

"Well.. I managed to get some rest, I haven't had any pleasant dreams for a while though." He took a little figurine of a soldier with blades and a green cape from the desk and played with it with his fingers. "Where do you get this stuff?" Pointing at all the crap that was lying on the table.

"Everywhere. I love collectin' stuff" she put the papers away and eyed her collection with a smile. "Besides, people compliment these and the kids like 'em".

Eren just nodded leaving Sasha with her toys and walked to the other side of the room where his tables were.
