Tumblr Prompts: "I would've had breakfast ready, but you were sleeping on my arm, and I didn't want to wake you."/ "I'm here for my daily fix of hugs and kisses."/"You make me so happy."


Good Morning


The door to her bedroom abruptly swung open, knocking over the floor lamp opposite of the door, which slammed into the computer desk near her bed– Annie jolted awake, jumping to her feet, nearly doubling over from the suddenness, her small fists poised, ready to fight any intruders. But then she heard the strum of an instrument, and soft humming, and groaned inwardly at the bad timing.

She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, glaring half-heartedly at the young man who was bundled up head to toe, holding up a busted guitar. "Eren, what the hell?"

He smiled, standing at the threshold of her bedroom door, and held a finger up, bringing it down across the cords—striking a tune. Then started a familiar melody.

"Because m-a-a-yb-e, you're going to be the one that saves m-e-e—!" He sauntered over to her disheveled form, "And after a-l-l-l, you're my wonder wa-l-l-l!"

Annie deadpanned as Eren continued strumming the chorus of the song. "You're paying for my damn lamp." She folded her arms. He winked at her as his instrumental chorus came to an end, finishing with a quick peck on her cheek.

"Aw, Mein Liebchen," He cooed, Annie rolled her brilliant blue eyes, "You like my singing, huh?"

"No."

"I got another one for you." He teased, waggling his eyebrows, which caused her to look away, a small smile tugging the corners of her lips.

She ran a hand down her frayed blonde locks, glancing to the clock on her desk. "You're kidding me. it is five in the morning, on a Saturday, and you decide to kick open my door, just to serenade me?"

Eren shrugged sheepishly, He placed the guitar down at her bedside, then pulled her into a hug, Annie could smell winter on him—pine, cold, and fresh of the outside.

"Nah, I'm here for my daily fix of hugs," He leaned down, pressing his lips against hers, that were warm despite the biting cold, he pulled back just as Annie pushed forward, "And kisses."

She snorted, yanking down the flaps of his bomber hat over his eyes. "H-hey!"

"You're such a sap." She murmured, against his throat, which bobbed involuntarily. Then she lightly shoved him away, climbing back into her unmade covers. "Well, I'm going back to bed." Annie inclined her head to peer over her shoulder—only to find Eren's gaze glued to her backside. She raised a suggestive eyebrow, wiggling her hips just so. "You want to join me?" She purred.

Eren's face flushed a dark pinkish hue, he uttered a small hell yes, already getting to work on removing his parka, along with his hat, and boots. Annie made room for him in her small twin sized bed, though he still squeezed her to him when he slid under the covers. His arm came to rest over her waist.

"Ah—you're warm." He smothered his face in to her hair, sniffing. "And you smell like Strawberries."

Annie made an irritated little noise in her throat. "Go to sleep." Though her eyes refused to shut, she huffed after another minute, "And you owe me a new lamp."

Eren snuggled against her back, pulling her flush against him. "Mm-hm."

They slept peacefully for another four hours, huddled together, warm, and quiet before the sun reached its peak in the dawn sky. Then her phone alarm had gone off— breaking the cozy silence by playing that same chorus Eren had burst into her room serenading her with—Annie's eye's shot open, red and puffy with sleep.

"Wha—" It took her a moment to realize the body she had sprawled over unconsciously—and drooled on—was Eren. She felt his heartbeat skip erratically underneath her palms, fast, and awake. Annie lifted her head to meet his equally drowsy eyes—a hazy green she adored.

She croaked when he greeted her with a tired smile. "Eren."

"Hey." Annie took notice of the hand rubbing slow circles on her midriff, "Sorry, I would've had breakfast ready, but you kind of used my arm as a pillow," His thumb pressed into her hips causing a soft sigh from her lips. "You looked cute, I didn't want to wake you."

"I drooled on you." Annie pointed out the little damp stain on his Henley shirt, he snickered, "Yeah, it's fine."

Annie didn't feel motivated yet to start the daily routine, so she shifted more comfortably on Eren, swinging one leg over his waist. He made a funny sound when she did. "Liebchen?"

"Shush." Annie swatted his hand that ran down her calf. Eren chuckled, a little roughly. "You're like a cat."

"Yeah, I'll claw your face off," She nuzzled his shoulder. "So don't mess with me."

Eren rested his head back onto the comforter, seemingly content. "I can't help it, you know?" He murmured, "Just knowing that you're mine…You make me so happy, sometimes."

Annie snorted, "Happy enough that you break into my house and sing me a song?"

"Very." He smirked, "In fact I might do it again…"

"Don't even try it, Jaeger."
