Erin sat in the classroom quietly her brain still sore from the day before. Her hangover was less painful but she was still exhausted. While she never usually followed resolutions; she was done with drinking for a while. Her head was killing her and the light was making it worse.

She wished she owned a pair of sunglasses to ease the brightness but she didn't. Though she would be obviously hungover if she did, giving the teachers something to complain about. Honestly, she was in no mood for anyone's shit and the conversation between her and Jeanne was still running through her head like a movie.

All of what had happened, was because she had drank too much and she had no self control. Honestly, she didn't know how Jeanne could be so cool after what she had done. If the shoes had been on the other foot, she would have been pissed as hell, giving Jeanne or whoever it had been a piece of her damn mind about being so pervy.

The whole thing had been her own stupid fault. She never should have drank as much as she should. But being an Aries she was stubborn and loved to party; so when drinking competitions had started of course she had wanted to be part of it. She never could reject a challenge no matter now stupid or reckless it was at the time.

Wanting to impress anyone else at the party and have a good time. Despite others telling her it was a bad idea or to settle down. She never listened and that always got her into trouble. She really needed to grow up and learn from her actions, but she never did. It was one of her biggest weaknesses, her inability to learn from her mistakes.

Meanwhile, her adopted sister lingered nearby. Going into protective mama mode around her. "Erin you look terrible" Mikasa said worriedly standing over the brunette. She could tell she still felt shitty and needed rest. Erin was usually a lot more active than this. She was louder, more vocal and energetic; now she looked terrible like a drained car battery.

She knew Erin drank way too much last night but she had wondered off meaning she hadn't been able to help keep her in line. Thankfully she had her girlfriend Sasha around to keep her company and calm her down. Allowing her to enjoy the party somewhat before the two of them had headed home and gone to bed.

Erin sighed crossly "I'm fine. I just need water" she muttered sternly. Though she appreciated her adopted sister's concern, it was just putting her in a worse mood. Her brain just hadn't enough hydration yet; all she had drunk so far was coffee. While it gave her a boost of energy it didn't really hydrate her at all.

"I'll get you a bottle" Mikasa responded firmly getting up to leave. She didn't want Erin to suffer unnecessarily. She would always be there to help Erin even if the request was stupid and difficult. She was her sister, she loved her indefinitely and would always be there when she needed her. Even when she did stupid shit she really shouldn't.

Erin said nothing and simply slumped on the desk wearily. If not for the fact she had class and it was important to her grades; she would happily sleep through it. Suddenly she heard someone sit beside her in the chair quietly. The sound of the chair scraping quietly across the floor was murder.

She wanted to punch the fucker that was openly making her day worse, but she didn't have the energy to do so. Instead she opted to sit in silence at her desk and groan quietly as a response. Warning whoever it was not to fuck with her unless they were looking for trouble from a very hungover Erin Yeager.

"Well you look like shit" a familiar voice said playfully. Without even looking up Erin knew who it was. She peered sideways wearily to see her new girlfriend sitting across from her smiling cheekily. It kind of pissed her off that she didn't have a hangover too. Hadn't she drunk a lot last night as well?

"You could have looked after me" Erin retorted stubbornly. Wasn't that what good girlfriends did? They took care of their lover when they were sick or feeling crappy. So why was she letting her suffer? Unless she was a closeted sadist or something like that, she wouldn't put it against her now that she mentioned it.

Jeanne frowned "I did. I made you coffee and was gonna make breakfast too; but you decided to leave in a hurry remember" she reminded her. Shortly after their conversation and coffee Jean had let Erin use her shower. While she had started on making pancakes the latter had decided to sneak out but left her a letter.

She had told her she would call her and would re-arrange a better date so they could act more like a couple. Jeanne had been pretty upset as she had looked forward to impressing Erin with pancakes. She had then been left to enjoy blueberry pancakes and syrup by herself and watched cartoons. It would have been nice to cuddle on the sofa with pancakes and watch random cartoons and laugh together.

Erin wanted to argue but knew Jeanne was right. She could tell she was pissed that she walked out like that even after accepting her confession. She had just wanted to go home and sleep after already being so much trouble. She hesitated feeling guilty then took a deep breath "Would lunch make up for it?" she cooed wearily. She would have acted more romantic; had her head not been fucking killing her right now.

Jeanne peered at her suspiciously but some of the anger was gone. She hummed thoughtfully leaning across the desk "You paying?" she asked curiously. After all the trouble she had put her through the night before and the morning after; a free lunch wasn't too much to ask for was it?

Erin smiled weakly "Mexican food ok?" she asked hopefully. Hoping to get on her good side by buying her girlfriend lunch as an apology for what she had done. She knew Jeanne loved Mexican food so she couldn't resist. While she preferred Thai herself she had to admit Mexican was pretty damn tasty food.

Jeanne stared at her quietly for a while then a small smile spread across her face "Only if we get Churro's" she teased. Churro's were a personal favourite of Jeanne's; with their cinnamon sugar coating and cinnamon paste filling. It was pure heaven; adding chocolate dipping sauce made it food sex.

Erin chuckled wearily, she should have known there was a catch in all of this "You got it" she croaked. She had already fucked up with the events before she slept with Jeanne; the least she could do was make it up to her for walking out. Looking back that had been a pretty dick move but she needed to get home and get ready for school.

Jeanne smiled fondly and hummed with delight. Getting Mexican food as an apology for abandoning her was a good repayment. She then rummaged in her bag and handed Erin some Ibuprofen quietly. She would need some of these to help get her back to normal. She always carried painkillers on her just in case of emergencies.

Erin perked up and grabbed the packet out of the ashy haired girl's hands. Never in her life has she been so happy to see painkillers in her damn life. She happily shoved the pills in her mouth before realizing she had nothing to swallow them with. Not really wanting to chew them and get the bitter taste of pills in her mouth.

Jeanne was quite surprised at the speed of her grabbing it. But given how shitty she must have felt it was understandable. Having experienced many a hangover herself in the past, but unlike Erin she had learned from them. She then handed Erin a spare bottle of water to consume it with. While she didn't look it she could be quite caring.

"Thanks…." Erin said gratefully after consuming the pills. It seemed Jeanne could actually be sweeter than she believed her to be. And here she thought her to be a moody, stubborn bitch with an attitude problem. Now she was sitting here in class helping to nurse her back to health of her own free will. Never thought she would live to see this happen.

Jeanne smiled and reached out to caress her soft brown hair in her fingers "I'm your girlfriend right? It's my job to take care of you" she teased gently stroking Erin's hair. While she didn't appear to be most days; she could actually be very motherly towards those close to her. Now she had a chance to use that on Erin.

Erin blushed; she wasn't used to being called girlfriend by someone. It felt kind of nice to be babied, in a romantic sense not a maternal way. She stayed slumped on her desk as the pills filled her stomach while Jeanne petted her head gently. Her voice almost mimicking that of a cat when it was being stroked.


Erin staggered out of the classroom; her head no longer hurt but her body was still stiff. Having had such an energetic night with Jeanne surely wouldn't have helped that matter either. Thank god for modern medicine and the wonders it worked. Sitting in that position for so long had not done her back any good.

"Geez Erin you look like an old man" Connie teased cheekily rushing ahead. That would teach her not to go overboard with drinks next time. Trying to look like a boss and drink that much usually ended badly. Though it was always funny as hell to watch it happening, but not so fun for her when it came to the morning after.

Erin grumbled crossly; god she could use a massage right about now. Her body was so stiff it wasn't funny. If not for the help of the painkillers she would be on the floor crying like a wounded child. Begging for the pain to go away and cursing every word under the sun. No doubt somebody would film it for kicks.

"Erin do you want me to take you home?" Mikasa asked worriedly her black eyes filled with concern. Part of her wanted to scold Erin for being so reckless but she couldn't bring herself to do such a thing. Why did she always push herself way too much? It was ok to take it easy now and again.

It was then that a familiar voice decided to speak up "I can do that" Jeanne responded quickly not missing a beat. She had always wanted to do the babying girlfriend thing; now she finally could. Besides she knew how hard Mikasa worked on top of dealing with her own problems. She deserved take it easy for once after all her hard work.

When was the last time she had spent time with her own girlfriend? She knew that Sasha was living with her now, despite this they hadn't had much time together recently. What with Mikasa running after Erin and making sure she had not gotten into trouble. Even her own uncle telling Mikasa to think more about her girlfriend and saying Erin could look after herself.

Mikasa hesitated; she had already taken Erin home from the party that time. She hated being a bother to her again; Jeanne already had enough stress in her life as it was with her parents recent divorce. She shifted awkwardly, a guilty look on her face "Jeanne, you don't have to" she replied. She had done so much as it was already.

Jeanne smiled gently, Mikasa was so caring sometimes it hurt. Sasha really had to be spoiled by her affection. "Besides Erin owes me Mexican food for taking care of her after what happened at the party" she explained smiling widely. She could just call Erin to come over and hang out with it; but this would be more fun.

There was a long silence then Mikasa agreed and became relieved "Thanks Jeanne. You really don't have to do all this" she said gratefully. She really had matured since they were 15; it was quite admirable. No longer the immature kid who liked to show off, now she was just a natural leader who looked out for her friends.

Jeanne laughed playfully "Mikasa you practically wait on her hand and foot. I think you're way overdue some free time" she reassured her. Mikasa had been caring for Eren since they were ten. For the last 8 years she had spent her time acting like a mother towards Erin; time off would be good for her.

"Yeah; we could have a movie night" Armin cut in eagerly. It had been a while since they had caught up and it would be good for her. Giving her something to do aside worrying over Erin would be good for her. Mikasa went quiet then agreed bringing relief to everyone else. It would be good for Mikasa to concentrate on herself for a change. She didn't spoil herself enough and it wasn't healthy.

Jeanne smiled and pulled Erin away before she could argue "Ok then. See you guys later" she said cheerfully as she led the brunette away. She just hoped that her behaviour wasn't too suspicious. The others watched them go quietly not speaking. While they were not vocal about it; they could tell something was different about those two. While Jean was a good actor she was friendlier than usual.

"You think something happened between them?" Reiner questioned thoughtfully his tone suspicious. Usually those two were constantly bickering or avoiding each other most days. Now they were suddenly all chummy and familiar with one another, Erin wasn't even pushing her away and allowing her advances.

"No doubt about it" Connie retorted bluntly. Jeanne was acting weirder than usual even for her. Usually she was a lot more snappy and fiery; now she seemed more laid back today. Acting as if she was this casual and forward with Erin every day, it wasn't exactly uncomfortable to watch but it was awkward.

"You think maybe they had a fight?" Sasha asked curiously eating a bag of crisps eagerly. She could be fake acting till she dragged Erin off and beat her to a pulp as payback. Upon seeing her, Mikasa moved towards her to which Sasha nuzzled her affectionately and continued eating. Sharing a silent welcome with one another.

Connie shook his head "No way; if that were the case things would be a lot more violent" he replied thoughtfully. They sighed heavily then wondered off to the cafeteria. It was too late to ask them about it now as they had already gone; but they could probe more later.


Jeanne walked along the pavement with a tired looking Erin standing beside her. Obviously regretting how much alcohol she had consumed. The sun was beaming down on them making Erin wince. Fuck, why did the sun have to be so damn bright today. Why couldn't there be more clouds to shade the light.

"Geez Yeager; can't you handle your drink?" Jeanne teased cheekily. Wanting to at least get some entertainment out of all of this. She didn't rival Erin at all; but she could gladly tease her for it. Besides she wouldn't be a proper girlfriend if she didn't do such things. Playful banter was a critical part of any relationship.

"Shut up the sun is too bright" Erin snapped crossly. The brightness of it was blocking the affects of the painkiller. Making her headache worse than it had been before. God she wanted to disappear right now; she felt so bad. She regret ever drinking that much, wishing she could go back and stop herself from drinking that much.

Jeanne smiled to herself; it was both annoying and cute how stubborn Erin was. She could never admit she was wrong or accept that it was her fault. It was both an admirable and annoying trait to have. Showing she was strong willed, but it was because of that Erin ended up paying for it in the worst way possible.

Erin saw her smirk and frowned, she was obviously enjoying every second of this "Something funny horse face?" she grumbled crossly. They were only on day one of dating; so being cute wasn't a big deal. But it didn't mean she had to act all weird. Wanting to know just what sort of thoughts were running through her mind.

Jeanne sighed heavily, even when pissed as hell Erin was still the cutest thing she had ever seen. "Nothing. Just you're still as stubborn as ever" she teased cheekily and walked ahead. Not that she minded it; sometimes being stubborn could be cute. Erin was a clear example of this, but she would never tell her that.

Erin grumbled and followed the pony-tailed girl quietly. She knew for a fact that there was more to it. But getting jeanne to spill was like trying to pick a lock; hard work and sometimes impossible.
