Eren was a small town boy, he grew up in the small town of Shiganshina in the Country of Maria. After Eren's parents died, him and his adoptive sister Mikasa moved to a different Country, the Country of Rose. They live in the Capital city of Trost. They don't live in an orphanage, no, they live in a cheap apartment on the south end of Trost. They met an intelligent boy, named Armin. His parents died, touring the dangerous Country of Maria,(Where horrible, and tall criminals/cannibals live and feast on the others they are called Titans, those Titans are what killed Eren's and Armin's parents.)Armin, Eren and Mikasa live in a two bedroom apartment, they each have three jobs, plus school to get through. They hope to one day join the Elite team of police, who fight the Titans, called the Survey Corps.
It was a long day of school Eren was at home, finishing up homework before his five o'clock job started, down at the local Cafe. Mikasa was in the kitchen, or what they would call a kitchen, a oven and a fridge, the table was a old bedframe they put a peice of wood on. Armin was laying on the floor, looking over some books for his Tactics Class. The blond boy scribbled some notes down every-once-in-a-while.
"Whats for dinner Mikasa?" Eren asked, his adoptive sister looked at him, her gray eyes sparkling in the dim light. Her face was a mask, so emotionless. She moved some of her jet black hair out of her face, and looked at Eren.
"Mac n' Cheese.." She said in a quiet voice. Eren nodded, and started his homework again. Eren was struggling in his Weapons Class, and he was also struggling in his Tactics Class. Unlike Armin, who was a wiz at everything. Mikasa, she was stong and brave, and smart. What did Eren have? Eren had determination, to get through it, and get revenge on those Titans for murdering his mother. Eren's father ran away when it happened, Eren never knew where his father went. "Dinner.."
Mikasa layed out three paper bowls, filled with Mac n' Cheese. Mikasa sat down three plastic spoons. She moved her hair out her her face again.
"Mikasa, why don't you trim your hair? If it keeps bugging you?" Eren said with a smile. And started eating.
Armin sat down, and picked up the spoon. "Darn, Mikasa, Eren, I need to go to my job down at the park.." Armin worked at the park, cleaning up litter, and cleaning up the bathrooms there. He worked with two other people. Armin, put his bowl in the fridge, put on his shoes and ran outside.
By the eight minuets between, which Armin came back for his coat, Eren, and Mikasa were done eating. Mikasa had left for her second job of the day, and Eren was at home with 20 minuets to spare. He finished up his homework of naming all the parts of the swords the Survey Corps use to slay the large, cannibals. The swords were long, rectangle shape, they had a lever to replace the blade on the swords, and two triggers underneath the swords, one was for the pistol, that attached on the handle of the swords. And the other was for a special mechanics of cables, that hook onto walls, trees, and more, that allow you to fly to catch up to the Titans.
Eren grabbed the key, that was on the table, and he ran to get his shoes. he had 15 minuets to get to his job, and it took Eren eight minuets to walk to the Cafe. Eren grabbed his gray hoodie and walked out the door.
He exited his aparment complex, which was old and run down. And headed north. He stopped to see his neighbor Connie coming home for his shift at the Cafe.
"Hi Connie.."
"Hey Eren!" Connie said in his normal cheerful voice.
After Connie and Eren walked past eachother, Eren looked back to see Connie enter the Apartment building. Eren always looked out for those in the apartment complex. He had small chats with everyone in the bulding time-to-time. Eren took a left two blocks down from his apartment, and walked another mile till he reached the Cafe. He entered through the back door to see Marco, and Sasha, both friends that went to his school, frantically cutting up potatoes into fries. Only three people worked at a time, two worked the kitchen, the other worked the counter. Eren put on his apron, and headed up to the counter.
"Eren," Sasha started, "I need you to tell me something." Sasha looked at him, and Eren listened closely. Put she shoved a fry into his mouth. "How does it taste, I'm adding less salt, and putting some chili pepper on it, to make in spicy, and I hope it taste better." Sasha said, smiling ear to ear. Eren chewed the fry. It was spicy, but it tasted awesome! Sasha was always amazing in the kitchen, the kitches was old, the floor was old chipped brown, and white tiles. And the resturant area of the Cafe looked like something out of a 80's movie.
"Wow thats great!" Eren said, he felt happiness rush over him when he saw Sasha beam with pride. He walked up to the counter, and started counting the pastries below the glass on both ends of the counter. "Four blueberry muffins, two apple pies, three pecan pies, two b-day cakes..." He started taking notes so he could had it to Marco and Sasha. He looked up to see a person she, he? Looked like Sasha but with glasses, and a bigger nose. But he couldn't tell if the person was a boy or a girl. He smiled, and put down the note pad he was keeping notes on.
"Hello.." She he? Said, taking out a badge, two wings one was blue, the other was white. Eren gasped, it was one of the Squad Captins in the Survey Corps! "I'm Squad Leader Hanji.."
"Okay all beacuse you work for the Survey Corps doesn't mean you get free stuff," Eren replayed, he looked at her or him, his arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed.
"No, no," Hanji said, waving a hand infront of her face. "I came for a special birthday cake, see Tomorrow is the the Chief of the Survey Corps birthday! Tomorrow is Chief Erwin's birthday!" The man or woman in the ponytail handed Eren a paper, with the Wings Of Freedom printed on the paper, "I want this on the cake, with the words 'Happy b-day Erwin!' ontop in green icing." Hanji said.
Eren clicked some buttons on the cash register. "That would be fifteen dollars.." Eren said, Hanji passed him a twenty dollar bill, like they have in America, and Eren gave back five bucks. "This will be done by ten in the morning tomorrow.." Eren said, and she walked out the door.
"Marco, Sasha!" Eren called, he walked into the kitchen to see Sasha making cake batter.
"I heard, just hand me the print, and Marco can do the art." Sasha said, Eren handed Marco, who was standing beside Sasha, mixing green icing, Eren handed the freckled boy the picture of the Wings of Freedom.
"Wow, Chief Erwin, that's so cool, we don't really learn about the Chiefs in school, I wonder why?" Marco said, and started mixing blue icing.
