to love a liar

a friendly warning

"I had no idea you'd be such a bitch," you doubled over as you walked out of the movie theater.

Jean was on your side with a scowl, "I'm not!"

"Yeah?" you teased. "Then why'd you squeal and hold my hand when the guy slit the girl's throat in the basement?"

Jean's eye twitched, "What? Was I supposed to giggle like a little girl and clap at that?"

"No," you pointed. "But—"

"I'll make sure to get up and dance next time that happens," he interjected, angry like a little child.

It only made you laugh more. As you did, he reached out and grasped your hand, looking off to the side so he couldn't catch the flustered look on your face.

He led you to his car, and the two of you talked all the way back to your apartment. He dropped you off since he had class in a bit. You made your way up to the stairs and as you were on the second floor, making your way up to the third, you noticed a familiar blonde.

"Armin, hey," you greeted.

"What's up?" he smiled back at you.

"Nothing really, Jean just dropped me off so I was going to go and do some homework," you told him. "You headed somewhere?"

"Yeah, I have class and then Eren, Mikasa, and I are going to get food after," he explained. "You want to come with?"

You shook your head, "That's okay, I have to work on this essay I got today. I might have to head to the library too. You guys have fun though."

"Okay," he smally responded. "How about this weekend? We all do something?"

You pondered for a moment, agreeing, "Sure, sounds fun."

"Awesome," he started for the stairs. "I'll see you later."

He descended down the stairs as you made your way up. While you entered your apartment, you were met by Pieck sweeping in the kitchen. She was in a blue tank top and her black sleeping shorts as she gripped onto the broomstick.

"Hey," she finally noticed you walk in.

You shut the door, "Hi."

"You just got back from class?" she did a quick nod with her chin.

"I had class a little while ago," you answered. "I need to go to the library though."

She went back to sweeping with the broomstick, "I have to get ready for class in a bit on Maria, I could drop you off at the library then if you want?"

"Uh, yeah sure," you nodded your head. "That sounds good."

"Great, let me get changed," she set the broomstick to the side before heading into her room.

You waited in the small living room for her to get ready. You looked around at the place, the school had it pre furnished for the students with a small double seater couch and a single seater. There was a small coffee table and a rug on the hard wood flooring. Other than that, that was about it. Not that you needed much more.

Your phone dinged with a text.

Hey, what are you up to?

You texted back.

You
On my way to the library. Need
books for my paper.

I'm at the student center right now
by myself and I'm bored. Let me
come to you. Which library?
