Still Shots. {ERENXREADER}

[Author's note: Short chapter I know! I'm sorry! But I still put my all into it so read it and enjoy :)]

After classes, Sasha invites me to go out to eat before I went back home and finished unpacking. I agree. I wasn't going to see any of them for a couple of days since I have Fridays off and I can't go to their party on Saturday. Still, I need to finish unpacking today. I was tired of the clutter and looking for things in different boxes. Not to mention that I need to decorate it a little. Maybe I can do that on Sunday.

We go to this small restaurant on campus where I see the group altogether, seated at the booth to the end of the room. Tables are pushed together and seats are added onto the booth since there was no space for all of them to fit in one booth.

"Hey, maybe we can help you unpack. Just to make the workload easier on you," Sasha offers as we walk to the table.

"Nah, it's okay. I bet you guys would want to do other things. Plus, I don't have that many boxes left. It's just the organizing that's gonna be a bitch," I explain. She nods as we approach the table. I notice Eren isn't here but Mikasa is. Safe to say he's actually doing something related to work. The group greets Sasha and me before we take our seats. Reiner calls over a waitress to take our order.

The waitress is overwhelmed by the number of meals she has to write down but nonetheless, she smiles and approaches the cook. We all have drinks though. I sip on lemonade as I listen to Reiner's childhood story.

"So then I told Annie and Bertholdt to grab the toy from Marco while he was crying. Annie almost runs off but she just decided last minute that we needed this toy for our collection," Reiner explains. Marco rolls his eyes, laughing lightheartedly. The group chuckles.

"No that's not it. Reiner was too much of a pussy to grab the toy from Marco so he sent one of us to do it. And Bertie wasn't gonna do it so I just said "fuck it" to get it over with. I did feel bad though. Sorry, Marco," Annie points at Marco. Marco smiles and nods, accepting the long-awaited apology. Jean chuckles.

"I remember that! I was so pissed when I found out that you guys did that, that I got into a fight with Reiner on a school field trip," Jean adds onto the storyline. The group laughs.

"Oh shit, yeah. I remember that too. Well deserved," Reiner replies, dapping up Jean. Sasha nudges my arm and I turn to look at her. She leans into my ear as she sips on her milkshake.

"Eren isn't here. What is he up to since you're his best friend," Sasha teases. I roll my eyes.

"How am I supposed to know? He's probably busy or something," I guess. She smirks and turns to Mikasa.

"Hey Mika, do you know why Eren didn't come?" Sasha asks her. I kick Sasha under the table. She grunts quietly, quickly recovering before chuckling. Mikasa avoids eye contact before responding.

"No..." She quietly says. I sigh and facepalm. Sasha didn't have to ask that. We all know what she meant by that. If Eren was busy all day and avoiding everyone then why would he come to my place at the end of the day? And for notes...? Something seems off. I feel guilty for even knowing that I'll see Eren. I don't know what the relationship is between him and Mikasa. I would ask but Eren would probably be upset about it.

Annie eyes Sasha. Sasha looks back at her innocently.

"Watch your mouth Sasha," Annie warns Sasha. My eyes widen in surprise as I watched the both of them look at each other intensely. Sasha shrugs her shoulders and smiles.

"Or what?" Sasha hits her with an attitude. I grab Sasha's arm from under the table, discouraging her to speak further. Annie rolls her eyes.

"Quit talking about shit that isn't your business. Leave Mikasa alone," Annie speaks up. The group now settles down, listening.
