The early morning sun beamed through the curtains of the brunette's bedroom window, causing him to cover his eyes with a groan. The winter chilled room sent a shiver up his spine after traveling up his exposed toes. Eren covered his face with a pillow and rolled over with yet another sleepy groan.
What seemed liked hours passed of him trying to fall back asleep before giving up and sitting up with a mumble of defeat. The boy glanced over at the clock with one eye cracked open to read 10:36 and pushed it off the bedside table. "I can't even sleep in…" the sea green eyed boy spoke out slightly annoyed with himself for being unable to get anymore shut eye. Sleeps these days were rare anyways with working as many shifts at the gas station possible for living alone, making money a slight issue.
There was a muffled buzzing of his phone that had fallen off the table onto the floor with the alarm clock. Eren waved a hand and said something about not worrying about it right now and falling back onto the bed to cover himself up and into the plush comforter.
"EREN!" there was a sudden yelling from outside, the voice belong to none other then Armin, one of Eren's only and closest friend. The boy sighed and tired to cover up his ears with a pillow to ignore the yelling. It was too damn early for him to be getting up, specially on one of the only days off he'd get for a few weeks.
"Come on man!" there it was again, but as it called out a second time, there was a voice of yet another person out here along side him.
"Eren get up!" this time it was Mikasa who spoke.
"Mika-" Armin yelled out but was cut off but a loud thump which was caused by the older female throwing a snowball hard against the window.
Eren let out a final groan and shot up, yanking open the curtains with annoyance. "There he is! Ereeennn!" As the curtains were pulled back to reveal a beaming Armin with a hand in the air waving with the other cupped around his a side of his mouth. Mikasa on the other hand had her arms crossed and a red worn scarf tied around to cover most of her face. The boy pulled off a thick blanket from his bed and wrapped it around himself before even thinking to open the door for the two waiting outside.
"Did you get my messages?" the blond asked while cleaning the snow off his boots before even thinking about walking onto the carpet of the tiny apartment. Eren yawned with a shake of his head and tightened his grip on the blanket draped around his bare skin as a freezing breeze crept through the front door into the already chilly room.
The dark haired female slide in unnoticed behind the other and shut the door. Her face was now visible but empty off all and any expression. "We have to hurry." Mikasa took no time to pull on his arm, beginning to drag him towards the bathroom and hinting for him to take a shower.
"Hey-Hey!" He stumbled onto the cold tile, causing goose bumps to spread over his entire body. The girl began to turn on and set the water for the slightly younger male. She began by pulling off the blanket and then reached down to pull off his pajama bottoms. Armin, who was standing in the door frame, blushed at what he was about to witness and decided it'd be best to hurry out into the living room avoiding such a sight. Eren quickly caught on and pushed her hands away.
"I can do this myself Mikasa!" His voice cracked with embarrassment and his ears burning red at the motherly gesture. She replied with a slight sigh and left, joining Armin on the worn couch in the main room.
Eren shut the door and undressed himself. Not long after the two got up and headed towards the kitchen and rummage through to find something to eat while waiting on the brunette get ready.
He took his time, spending a good five minutes to allow his cool skin to absorb the hot water. His eyes closed while slipping his head into the shower stream, breathing out a slight sigh and a chuckle thinking about how he managed to end up with those two even after all these years. Having Mikasa as an adopted sister at the age of nine after her parents, friends of his own Mother and Father, passed away in the hospital after being critically injured during a house robbery. He became Friends with Armin all the way back in kindergarten after standing up for the blond once at recess and have been stuck together ever since.
A sudden pounding on the door sent sea green eyes to shoot open and pushed away any thought that reminded lingering in the boys head. Eren let out a sigh after realizing it was Mikasa growing impenitent
"I'm almost done!" he replied and rushed washing. After ridding all remaining suds, the boy shut off the water and mumbled while reaching out a hand from the curtain for a towel. Eren loosely wrapped it around his waist before pulling the curtain back to reveal a straight face Mikasa.
"Holy shit!" he yelped with surprise, letting out a deep breath with heated cheeks at the unplanned exposure, taking a moment too rid of the embarrassment before stepping out of the shower. She let out a 'hmmpf' before making her leave back into the dinner room tot join the blond. After she was out of sight, he took more time and sprinted for the bedroom to dress before anymore incidents happened. Making sure the door was locked before allowing his guard to drop and head towards the already open closet. The two began talking about something that Eren could not fully hear due them being hushed when speaking, but Armins excitement was obvious.
While inside the closet, The brunette turned to the dresser snuggly fit inside first to grab a pair of plain black boxer briefs and dropped the towel around his waist to pull on the soft article. He stretched with arms up and a slight back roll to pop any stiff joints before remembering about his discarded phone that had dropped not too long before.
Eren walked over to where it had fallen and bent over, back to the open window. Tan fingers felt around blindly before brushing against the cold metal of the device and clutched on to it. As soon as the boy stood up there was an odd sensation as if sharp eyes where watching him, he first looked around the room while running a through messy brunette locks and then glanced out the open windows. He thought he saw a quick flash of silver which disappeared instantly into the dark room of the house next to his room. He mumbled once more to himself about how the house was supposed to be empty, but shook it off to finish getting dressed.
The sound of foot steeps neared the door, most likely Mikasa once again which he shouted a reply of "I'm coming!" and pulled out a pair of dark maroon tight fitting jeans. The heavy steps stopped and the owner sighed before heading back to the living room. Eren grabbed a palin black v-neck t-shirt of a hanger and threw on a clean pair off socks before sliding on high top black vans.
"Come on!" it was Armin now, knocking on the door which opened in the middle of his third knock.
"I'm ready." Eren smiled back, finishing off his outfit with a grey hoodie from the coat rack hanging on the back of said door. The three of them made way to leave but before Armin was halfway out the front he stopped and lastly said "Grab your guitar, Pixis wants you to set up and work on what you've been recently writing." the silver tongue smiled and they continued out to the car.
