"Shit. Shit, shit, shit." Eren lay on his bed repeating the same word over to himself.
I should just die. Shit. The words just had to slip out of my mouth.
The boy fell asleep with the thoughts overflowing in his head, despite it being lunchtime.
The Corporal knew that it would never be permitted. The boy is a minor. He was over twice his age. He knew that. But still…
Eren woke up four hours later from a dream that he had forgotten.
"You finally wake up, piss pot? Who told you could skip work today? You still had cleaning to do."
The Corporal was standing in the corner of Eren's room, his face turned away.
"I-I'm sorry, sir! H-how did you get in my room?"
"Keys."
"O-oh… right…" Eren was uneasy about the fact that Levi was able to enter his room at any time.
There was an awkward silence before Eren spoke again.
"Should I get some cleaning done now, Corporal?"
"A-are you kidding me? I-it's already past dinner." The Corporal still had his face turned away. There was no way he could show the brat his face when it was so damn red.
"O-oh… sorry…"
The Corporal left still embarrassed, leaving Eren alone in his room. After thinking for five minutes, the boy headed to the other rooms of the castle, bringing a bucket of water and a mop.
"Eren! I was looking for you!" Hanji found the boy cleaning like there was no tomorrow. There were dark circles beneath his tired eyes.
"H-Hanji-san, good mornin…" Eren clearly did not get any rest. His speech was slurred. The boy went back to mopping the floor.
"Why are you cleaning so early? It's only six!" Hanji knew Eren staying up to clean had something to do with Levi.
"O-oh, well, I was jus cleanin…for fun…"
Hanji broke out into an eternal giggle fest.
"Hahaha! E-Eren! A-are you serious?" Hanji just could not stop laughing. Looking at Eren's drunken expression made it worse.
Eren ignored the freak in front of him and continued cleaning. Hanji continued laughing for another whole two minutes before she calmed down.
"Oh! Eren, I almost forgot what I came here to tell you!"
Eren couldn't believe what had just went through his ears. He dropped his mop and stopped moving. He asked Hanji.
"Wh-what?"
Hanji was being dead serious.
"You heard me."
"Th-this can't be true…"
"Go."
"Wha-"
"Go, Eren"
Eren followed Hanji's orders and ran.
And he ran like there was no tomorrow.
A/N: I know this chapter is kinda short, but before you get mad at me, I will just say that the next chapter will make up for it. (I swear will kick my ass for writing this fic once I heal from my sickness)
Everyday I reread all the reviews I've gotten and smile like a gay little shit. I'M SORREH.
