"Hey mom, I'm home." Eren said as he came in the front door, but he didn't hear her respond.
"Mom?..." Eren went into the kitchen to see a note on the table. Eren picked it up and read it out loud. "Eren, I have gone to a dinner party with your father that his hospital is hosting. We might be coming home late, so I left some money for you on the table to order yourself something. Please don't do anything reckless while we're gone." Eren smiled and shakes his head.
"At least I won't get yelled at for theses bruises." Eren said as he touched one bruise on his cheek and winced a bit. He looked at his ripped shirt and shook his head.
"How the hell am I supposed to fix this?…" Eren thought about it until it hit him. He reached for his phone to text Krista about his situation.
'Hey Krista, how you been. Look I was wondering if you are busy at the moment?'
'Hey Eren! I'm good ^-^. And I am not doing anything. What happen?'
'I need you to come to my house for a quick repair for my shirt. And before you ask, no my mom is not here to that for me, she's gone out with my dad for a dinner party. Please come here.'
'Alright. I'll be there in 20 minutes.' Eren smiled and went to the living room to watch T.V. while he waits for Krista. About 24 minutes there was a knock on the door. When Eren opened it, Krista was there smiling for 3 seconds and then that smile disappeared when she saw Eren's face.
"What the heck happened to your face?!" She scowled him
"I got into a fight. No big deal." Eren shrugged and moved aside as Krista came inside the house.
Krista shakes her head. "I don't know what to do with you Eren. So where are the sewing tools?"
Eren gives her the tools and then takes off his shirt.
"What are you doing?" Krista eyes widen and starts to blush.
"Giving you my shirt." Eren said unfazed and give his ripped shirt to her. Krista was a bit distracted at his well-built body. She snapped out of it, took his shirt, and began to sew his shirt. Eren went to his room to get a different shirt and came back to sit down next Krista.
"Thank you for doing this Krista." Eren said while watching her sew.
Krista stopped sewing for a moment and smiled at him. "It's no problem really. What are friends for." She continues sewing.
"Done." She exclaims as she holds up the shirt in the air checking out her work well done. She hands Eren his shirt back.
"Thank you again Krista. I owe you one." Eren smiles as he looks at his shirt.
"Like I said. It's no problem and you don't owe me anything." Krista smiled back.
"While you're here with me, wanna go out for some burgers?" Eren asked.
"Don't you have homework to do?" Krista asked while raising one of her eyebrow at him.
"I'll get it done when I come back. Promise."
"Alright fine. You better." Krista said giving up and heading out the door with Eren following, closes the door behind him, and head to Titan's burger. As they take their seats, a waitress came to their table and gave them their menu. They both thanked her and looked at the menu. When they finally ordered and got their food they began to eat and talk. Krista ordered a small burger with a chocolate milkshake, while Eren wasn't as a little meal as Krista. Eren end up ordering a large burger, some fries, and a large coke.
"Geez Eren you are sure hungry, huh?" Krista said will drinking some of her milkshake.
"You have no idea. Gym was already exhausting and took everything out of me, but that fight I was in took all the energy I had left." Eren chuckled at the last part.
"Who were you fighting?"
"Jean."
"You mean the guy with the slick back hair and the leather black jacket?"
"That's the guy." Eren said with a mouthful of burger.
"Don't talk with a mouthful. It's disgusting. Either way, why were you fighting him?"
"I was fighting him because he was picking on Armin."
"Poor Armin. That isn't nice picking on him. Don't know why Jean is always picking on him. He should really tell the teacher."
"Maybe he doesn't because he knows even if he does tell, him being bully could only get worse." Eren slowly stops eating, puts his food down, and slams his fist down causing Krista to jump a bit in her seat.
"It pisses me off that guys like Jean think it's alright to pick on people like Armin. Like it's some type of game…" Eren says drifting off on his own thoughts. Krista stares at Eren for a while and slowly puts her hand on Eren's to reassure him. Eren comes back into reality and looks at their hands for a second and then at Krista.
"I'm sorry for my little burst out…" Eren tried to apologize but Krista just waved it off.
"It's alright, I know it's upsetting. You're not the only one who doesn't like the little guys getting picked on."
"Well as the saying goes, the strong pray the weak."
They stood quite for a moment before changing the subject and going on with their meal. When they were finish, Eren offered to walk Krista home but she said he didn't have to. He didn't want to protest any further. But before they go their separate ways, Eren still had to thank Krista.
"Eren like I said, you're welcome. I'm always happy to help out a friend. I'll see you at school and make sure you finish your homework." Krista said waving back and walking to a bus that had stopped. Eren two finger saluted to her and walks home.
As soon as Eren is home and walks up to his room, he just remembered something.
"I just realized I have a lot of homework…. fuck…"
