After Eren and Erwin had their order and were sitting down in a booth, Eren looked over to him. "Um... Erwin..." He began awkwardly. Erwin looked at the brunette. "You know I have a boyfriend... right?"
Erwin chuckled. "I know, I was just messing with you."
"Oh, alright. Just checking." Eren said with a smile and a nod. They drank their coffee and ate their pastries with smell chit chat. It had felt nice for Eren to talk to someone new. They talked about random things and got to know each other a little better. By the end of the day, you would have thought that they had been best friends for years. Even after they had finished up, they still remained in the cafe joking around.
When they did decide to finally leave, it was almost 7.
"Wow," Eren said as he looked at the clock. "Can you believe we were there for almost five hours?"
"Amazing." Erwin chuckled. "Hey, where do you live? I can walk you home."
Eren shook his head. "There's no need, I'll be fine by myself."
Erwin kept insisting. "It's alright, I want to." He said. Eren bit down on his bottom lip as he had a mini debate. Finally, he gave in with a sigh.
"Fine, fine." He agreed.
Erwin couldn't help the grin that slid across his face. "Great, lets go." He said and followed along behind Eren as he lead the way.
When they reached his place, Eren was surprised to see Mikasa sitting on his steps. "Mikasa, what are you doing here?" He asked as they approached her. She looked up from her phone when she heard him and stood up.
"I came by to check on you, but you weren't home. I figured that you wouldn't be out for too much longer, so I decided to wait for you," She explained to him. She looked at Erwin. "Who is this? Did you finally leave Levi and find someone better?"
Erens eyes widened and he quickly shook his head. "W-What?! No! This is my new friend, Erwin! He just moved here."
"Oh," Mikasa said with clear disappointment as she looked back at Eren. "That's too bad. You and him would make a much better couple than you and elfy."
Eren crossed his arms. "How would you even know that?"
Mikasa shrugged. "Just a hunch. Anyways, are you feeling any better? No pain, right?"
"I'm feeling fine."
Mikasa nodded her head. "Good, I'm glad you're feeling better. I should get home, Annie's waiting for me."
"I'll come with you." Erwin said, looking at her. Mikasa looked back at him for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow, Eren." She said.
Erwin waved. "Bye, Eren," He said before they both walked off, leaving Eren standing there in confusion. The two disappeared from his sight and he sighed, walking into his house. He shut and locked the door behind himself, then kicked off his shoes. Being the had already had a little to eat, he went right to his room so he could get to work on his homework.
As he worked on it, he felt his phone vibrate next to him. He looked over at it and at the lit up screen, reading the name at the top. He smiled when he saw that it was Levi and grabbed the phone.
Hey, where did you go after school? I didn't see you.
-Levi
I went to the cafe downtown with Erwin.
-Eren
Why with him?
-Levi
He asked me if I wanted to hang out and I agreed. So that's where we went.
-Eren
Mm. You shouldn't hang out alone with him. I don't trust him.
-Levi
Eh? Why not? He's a nice guy and if he was going to do anything, wouldn't he have done it then?
-Eren
Not necessarily.
-Levi
Eren sighed and shook his head as he read the reply. Two of the most important people in his life and they either hated his new friend or liked him too much. Just great.
