Eren came to quietly the bright beam of the early sunshine beaming in his face. Today was Saturday so he had no classes; but he wanted to take advantage of his free time considering most of it was spent in class or studying.

He yawned sleepily and sat up groggily still half asleep; part of him wanted to go back to sleep and the other telling him to get up. He looked around and stretched sleepily taking in his surroundings. "I need Coffee" he muttered sleepily. He crawled out of bed quietly and walked out of his room to the kitchen.

Cold air pinched his skin as he left the warmth of his room and into the living room; the kitchen was a joint so it wasn't far to go. The blinds weren't fully closed in the living room so light still bled in blinding him all over again.

An annoyed mutter escaped his lips as he walked in quietly; he wasn't too happy about being awake right now but he didn't want to go back to sleep. He was in vamp mode right now and needed his morning boost.

Eventually he reached the kitchen and reached the coffee maker; he sighed heavily and sifted the coffee into the strainer then boiled the water. Instant coffee was easy to make, cheap and lasted a long time. He perched on a stool as the coffee machine gurgled as the machine brewed.

Another yawn escaped Eren's lips and he scratched his head. It was too early to be awake on a weekend but he couldn't bring himself to sleep any more. So here he sat in the dawn's early light brewing coffee while the world slept.

As the machine brewed he gazed out of the window at the sun beamed through slightly blinding him. There was a light fog over the ocean giving the illusion of an ocean covering the buildings. It was quite stunning and one of the rare things that could soothe him.

Eventually the machine stopped brewing and he got to his feet and poured the brown liquid into a cup. He then added sugar and milk and sat there with his mug quietly before taking a sip. The caffeine hit him almost immediately and he sighed pleasantly as he felt it run through his veins awakening his brain.

Suddenly he heard a bedroom door open and footsteps approach; it seems Jean was now awake too which was unusual as he usually slept in every day. As if on cue Jean appeared in the room looking tired and annoyed.

"You're up early" Eren stated bluntly his tone mocking as he sipped his coffee. While he and Jean were frenemies they did respect each other in some way.

"You're one to talk" Jean muttered sleepily yawning heavily. He hadn't planned on waking up so early but had an urge to watch cartoons so he had gotten up.

The pair shared a silent stare off for a while; tension so high you could practically sense it in the air. The two often argued due to their opposite personalities and separate outlooks; but they got along in some cases.

Eventually Jean sighed heavily; he was in no mood to fight right now. "Enough for two?" he asked casually pointing at the coffee pot.

"Sure" Eren muttered quietly. It was rather surprising to see Jean so sociable and not such a douche.

Jean approached quietly and grabbed a cup off the counter. He poured himself a large cup of coffee then added sugar and milk. He simply downed his first cup and gasped heavily after consumption. He then went on to make a second cup but didn't drink it as quickly this time.

"You sure are downing it today" Eren stated bluntly. Jean was acting different than usual today and he was curious to know why.

"Don't wanna waste the day" Jean replied sternly. Connie and Sasha had offered to meet up and catch up. It had been a while since he had seen them considering they were all studying at the minute.

"Touché" Eren agreed bluntly and took another sip of coffee. He had planned on hanging out with Mikasa and Armin today and go shopping together.

Their relationship was complicated and sometimes other people didn't quite understand their friendship. They weren't best buddies but they weren't enemies either; they were frenemies.

They had their arguments and competitions but they worked well as a team. Jean was able to keep Eren grounded and make sure he didn't do anything to reckless. In return Eren was able to tone down Jean's cockiness and pride; while also reminding him of his decent nature that often got shadowed.

"So you and Mikasa dating yet?" Jean asked bluntly his tone hinting teasing. He knew Mikasa had a thing for Eren but the smaller boy had no idea.

"WHAT?!" Eren cried loudly almost choking on his coffee. Where the hell had that come from and so early in the morning?

Jean smirked "Oh come on; it's obvious she has a thing for you and you're always hanging out" he teased playfully. He loved seeing Eren squirm; it was damn near adorable.

Eren blushed wildly; what kind of crap was he spouting so early in the morning? "Mikasa is a childhood friend! She's like a sister to me! I don't see her in that way!" he snapped angrily.

Jean looked shocked; he had always thought the feeling was mutual. Guess his instincts had been wrong on that one "My mistake" he said casually.

Eren sighed heavily; it was times like these that annoyed him. While Jean wasn't a bad guy he really knew how to mess with people and wind them up.

Jean sat on a stool nearby him and continued drinking his coffee. He stole a quick glance at Eren quietly; he really was a cutie; with those piercing green eyes and dark locks. It was a wonder nobody had snatched him up yet.

Eren caught him staring and became worried; something was wrong with Jean but he didn't know what. He was acting weird and it was kind of freaking him out; not in a scary way but a confusing way. "Is...Is something on my face?" Eren stammered quietly.

"Just the look of exhaustion and desire to go back to bed" Jean stated bluntly. Eren did look rather tired still and nobody would be awake yet so it was strange for him to be up.

Eren blinked then chuckled; He shrugged off any doubts he had. Jean was probably just messing with him. Tiredness was probably getting to him and triggering his anxiety; the coffee just hadn't kicked in yet.

He then got up and put his mug in the sink before heading out the doorway. He smelled like sweat and unwashed boy. He hated feeling greasy and gross; he needed a shower and now. It would help clear his head.

"I must be going crazy; guess studying is really taking a toll on me" he muttered quietly. For a minute it had seemed like Jean was implying if he was single; which was weird as he had never done so before. So why would he ask now?
