Yø, wassup?
This is my first story, so it might not be as good as I want it to be. Second, I am not a native english speaker, so there might be some grammar mistakes. If you find any, feel free to PM me or say something in the reviews please. Third, this story will be here in german too, but only AFTER I finish this one in english. (Was geht, LeserInnen?) And lastly, I would like it very much if you could leave some reviews, because it's good to know how people react to it. And I know this story, I just decided to spend my time writing it down for you guys so if you could lleave some reviews I'd be grateful. I normally don't review also but now since I write myself I learned to appreciate reviews.
Now, without further ado, have fun!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ATTACK ON TITAN. THAT RIGHT GOES TO HAJIME ISAYAMA. THANK YOU ISAYAMA-SAN FOR AOT.
"Speech"
Phone texting
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
With a groan, Eren fumbled around to shut the damned device of the devil himself of. Of course, before he could succeed with his task, his brain was awake enough to be thankful to his alarm, for had it not woken him up, he would have surely missed his train to college, which was starting today. After having an internal debate on which he should either stay in bed or get up and make himself presentable, the angelic voice of his sweet mother told him to get up or suffer her displeasure.
After this encouraging words, he really had no choice but getting up. After he took his shower, brushed his teeth, and checked if he had packed everything he needed - Clothes? Check. Enough blocks, pens, and every other thing I might need? Check (I hope). Laptop? Check. Earphones? Well of course. Graffiti utensils? Dunno where, when or how I might need them but check.
"Morning mum"
"Morning dear. How did you sleep?" His mother, Carla Yeager, was a beatuiful woman, but then again, which son doesn't think of his mother as beautiful?
"Eh, could've been better. Did dad call?"
"What do you think? Of course he did. He sends his reards and said that he will be home for Thanksgiving, so try to be at home too."
"Will do, mom. On other note, did you know where the letter with my room number for college is? I might or might not have forgotten the room number and the whereabouts of the letter..."
"When will my son grow up and be responsible for once in his life?"
"Snap out of it, I know you secretly love having another chance to fuss over me."
With a sheepish grin, Carla handed the letter to her son and resumed eating her breakfast.
"Aight mom, I have to go if want to catch the train. I'll call when I am settled, but it could be at night because of the speech the principal wants to give. Oh, and I want to take my bike with me, easier for me to go shopping and bringing back the groceries."
"Sure that this is the reason, or could it be that you just love this bike and want to show off?"
"... You know me too well."
"Of course I do, I am your mother after all. On other thought, do try to pay attention to the speech the principal will give, and please do not fall asleep like I know you will."
"Ugh, mom. Why do you have to know every bit of my thoughts?! Nevermind, I'll be going now, love you"
With a kiss on his cheek, he left the house, grabbed his bike, and went to the train station. His bike, along with his earphones, laptop and his abs were his whole pride. His bike, a Stevens Stelvio, a street bike, was black and red, had 10 gears and he was overall in love with it.
His Beats Studio, used to either listen to music or to produce music, with the help of his trusted Laptop of course. A Razer Blade 15, one of his best friends. The other was Armin Arlert, his childhood friend.
Eren hoped he would be making new friends, he hoped we would get good grades so he could become a Doctor like his father, and of course he hoped to get a girlfriend. He wondered what his girlfrind would look like. Maybe a blonde, with ice blue eyes? He would like that. Or a blonde goth, now THAT would be hot! He couldn't even imagine one! Though, that was probably better for his mental health, he didn't even want to know what would happen should he encounter one. Nosebleed was a given, maybe drool and a mild shock. Eh, with his social skills, he would most probably not even talk to a girl, considering his social skills were so bad, he only had one friend. He really hoped that he and Armin would be roommates, or else the next few weeks (more like months) would be REALLY awkward. Shit, there was his train!
And with this reveal, Eren began to ran like the devil was behind him. With no time to spare, Eren boarded the train and instinctively knew that he would be sleeping at the principals speech.
He was rendered speechless at the sight before him. The Campus was HUGE! But then again, this WAS Rose University, the second most prestigious university on Paradis Island. When he arrived at his room, he was delighted to see that he was alone, so he could choose whatever room he wanted! And of course, he chose the room next to the kitchen, because then he would have easier acces to the kitchen, and isn't that the dream of every lazy male when watching TV?
Hearing the door open, he looked expectantly towards it, and felt his jaw drop at the sight before him.
Annie Leonhardt was not a person who could be called social. One could even say she despised meeting new people, because that meant opening herself up to other people. And that meant she had to relive memories she had buried, tried to forget, and overall she didn't want to be reminded that she even was in possession of such memories.
She did not have much friends, she never had a boyfriend, and in her opinion she did not need one, because she thought that emotions, and especially love are a waste of time. So of course she was not prepared to open the door to her room and see a well toned and rather cute boy. Yes, her opinions on love, emotions and other people were not high, but even she was able to see and appreciate a good looking boy.
"Well, this is certainly not the roommate I thought I would have, but I do have to say that you are way more pretty than the one I thought I would get."
And with this simple sentence she knew that her roommate was an absolute idot. Joy.
Fate is often referred to as cruel. Or not changeable. Whenever Fate wants something, she gets it. And why? Because she is Fate! She is, well, she is... I don't know actually :| (A/N: I actually don't know how to describe Fate, sorry guys)
But sometimes, not often, sometimes Fate decides to help people, and bring joy to their life.
And even though he couldn't pierce her shell the first few weeks, even though she could not figure out this Enigma that was her roommate, they connected. Sure, at first both ignored each other, then annoyed the hell out of each other, and then they came to the point of almost ripping their hair out and throw it at the other, but somehow, they connected. And both of them realised at one point that they had grown for each other. Scratch that. They were at a stage where they couldn't even imagine a life without the other playing a significant role in their lives.
But alas, first comes the time of getting to know each other, even if it would begin the painful months, but then evolve into a much better time.
Eren thought Armin would be his roommate. Heck, he thought that at the second most prestigious university on Paradis Island, gender separation would be enforced with more strictness. But he would NEVER, not even in his dreams, have thought that a girl could be his roommate. Not that he had something against it, mind you.
But come on, even if it was a girl, did it have to be exactly his type? That was just plain unfair. I mean, now he would not only have to try to get to know the girl, (and his social skills were really bad) no, he would have to woo her too. And that's exactly what he tried. And failed to do. Of course he did, how could he not? Did I mention that his social skills were bad?! But the best part was, he could tell that the girl did NOT like him, at all.
But then again, how would she like him, if the first ever sentence he said to her was "Well, this is certainly not the roommate I thought I would have, but I do have to say that you are way more pretty than the one I thought I would get." And in that moment, he realised that his life was going to be so stressful...
"Uhm, that was complete unnecessary and impolite of me, please forgive me. My name is Eren Yeager, and might I know yours?" Mentally congratulating himself for diffusing the situation, he eagerly waited for her response.
And of course, to his immense luck, or more likely lack of luck, she didn't respond. Well, not immediatly, like other people would. But Eren Yeager learned pretty early, that she was a far cry from normal. And as she passed him, he heard her mutter "Annie Leonhardt." And he knew, he instinctively knew, that he would need the sleep at the principals speech.
Eren: I'm sorry mum, but I really need the sleep at the speech. Please, please, PLEASE do not stop sending me my jar of cookies, or else I might lose it way earlier than I expected.
Carla: You know, you should not get them, but be thankful that I am feeling merciful tonight, young man.
Eren: Thanks mum, you're the best. But now I've really got to go, need to catch my sleep ;)
Carla: Don't stretch it.
Knocking on Annies door, he said that they had to get to the principals speech or be late. With a nod, she put on her shoes, and left the room. The walk to the speech was silent, as Eren was contemplating if he should put on his "nice and outgoing" face for his first impression or the "cold and enigmatig bastard" face. He reasoned that the cold bastard mask would probably be better, since nobody would try to befriend him anyway. He could always put on his other face, should that unlikely event take place. He idly wondered what Levi would say to him, though healready knew it would be something along the lines of 'Stop annoying me and how dare you grow taller than me, Brat?!' Seriously, sometimes he wondered why listened to that midget.
"Good morning, my name is Darius Zackly and I am the principal of this prestigious university. I hope you all have a..."
That was approximately the last thing Eren heard before succumbing to blissful sleep.
Annie meanwhile couldn't believe her roommate was this idiotic, though she had to give him credit for doing something so brave. Foolish and idiotic, yes, but still, it was pretty brave. She should take notes for him, she didn't want him bothering her for information, that was really the last thing she needed right now.
Wow, writing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. To all authors out there: You guys have my respect!
I wanna try to portrait Eren as a cold bastard, but not to much, I want him like Levi you could say (without the obsession of cleaning of course ;)
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed reading, leave a review, and lastly I wish all of you a good day.
