Poison [[Eren x Reader]]

Chapter 32

Eren's hand slides over the thin wrapped paper of his present, carefully sticking his fingers underneath a small part of the paper that's not taped down. We never had the chance to open his present last night because we ended up going to sleep. Now that we've already showered this early morning, we've been sitting on the bed in the clothes that we wore last night. He lifts his hand up to tear the wrapping paper, gently opening the gift to reveal a shoebox.

Eren lifts up an eyebrow and tilts his head, probably trying to figure out what pair of shoes I got him for Valentine's Day, given the fact that he never tells me what he wants for gifts. We've been together for a long time now, but he never enjoys receiving gifts for some reason. As I sit next to him on the mattress, one knee is lifted up and bent on the bed to face him as his fingers move underneath the cardboard.

I can't contain the wide grin on my face as he hesitates to open the present. He glances back up at me, and I watch the smile grow on his face to match mine. Once he looks down at the box, he opens it to reveal the black and white shoes with purple accents. His eyes are quick to widen as his hand grasps onto the shoe to lift up and hold closer to his eyes.

His jaw drops as he looks back up at me, "how–" he interrupts himself, absolutely speechless from the shoes I got him. Heat rises up in my cheeks, realizing that I got him a good gift and I hope that it makes up for how shitty of a girlfriend I used to be. "I've never even told you I wanted these, baby, how'd you know? I love them so much," he leans over to press his lips into mine, quick and soft as an appreciation, "I love you so much, baby."

Eren places the shoe back into the box and places both cheeks on my face, gently squishing my face together as he pulls me close to him. "I just know you. You never tell me what you want, but I know you like shoes like this," I say. Well, not to mention the fact that he got us a matching pair of red and white Air Jordan 1's a while back, but he also usually wears Jordan's anyway.

As he holds onto my face with both hands, he rapidly places rough pecks against my lips, making sure to not even give me a second to compose myself. "I love you," he says as he kisses me again. "I love you," he says once more, placing two more kisses against my mouth. "I love you," he exclaims, kissing me three more times before pulling away and moving his hands off of my face.

I look over at the bag that's resting next to me on the bed and reach for it, sliding it over to me before placing it on my lap. "I have a suggestion," I say while rummaging through my purse, grabbing a small glass jar and pulling it out, revealing a half-assed blunt that I rolled inside of the jar. "Sorry, I suck at rolling, but I figured that you'd wanna smoke. I mean, it's eight in the morning and you always smoke this early."

He laughs while I place it back into my bag. "Let's head downstairs?" He asks while standing up from the bed.

"Of course," I reply while standing up as well, grabbing onto his hand to walk towards the door, "thank God you stopped your tolerance break."

I'm quick to grab onto the handle to pull down and open the door as Eren laughs under his breath, watching me nearly limp into the seemingly endless hallway. I hold onto his hand tightly for support and it finally clicks in my mind just how difficult it is to walk because of how sore my legs are from last night's activities. Especially now that I have to wobble in stilettos and a short dress since I don't have a change of clothes because of last-minute plans.

The walk of shame.

Eren's finger lands on the button to the elevator, pressing it in while saying, "I still have a surprise for you later, though."

There's a loud ding as the elevator reaches our floor, stepping inside once the doors open. "Really?" I ask with wide eyes, watching the doors slide shut, "you really had this day planned out, didn't you?"
