Hours felt like mere minutes as the clock continued to tick tick tick. You swore one moment you were hopping out of the shower with Eren around midnight, and the next minute it was 4:00 AM and the two of you were still talking with bodies tangled together.

Your energies flowed into one another throughout the conversation, and the connection you shared allowed you both to physically feel what the other had gone through in the past month. His face writhed in emotional pain as you explained how defeated and lonely you'd felt at home without him. Guilt crept through your entire being like a disease when he mentioned how disappointed Zeke was when Eren revealed that the two of you had split. And when he mentioned avoiding Mikasa when she visited his family with her parents, the both of you simply sat in the discontentment of the situation.

Mikasa was your best friend, and she had been one of Eren's best friends since they were just kids. How could she have done that to the two of you? You still couldn't begin to wrap your mind around it.

Eren currently rambled on about how Ymir was the one to show him your instagram post that inevitably led him to practically throwing you into his car and taking you home like a teenager needing disciplined. Kinda funny that the silly post was what brought the two of you back together, when you didn't even mean to make...

"Y/N?" Eren whispered sweetly, his pretty eyes searching your face for traces of consciousness that were no where to be found.

"Huh? Yeah, still listening," you mumbled, his voice pulling you back from the void.

"No you're not, dummy. Go to sleep, it's late, or uh, early anyways. I'll see you in the morning," he hummed. "I love you."

"I love you too," you returned as he pulled you in closer to the front of his toned body for a tighter snuggle. Normally you needed a bit of space when falling asleep, but tonight you couldn't be close enough to Eren. With your face only inches from his bare chest, you drifted off to the smell of his freshly washed body. The rise and fall of his chest rocked you to sleep like an innocent child, and his long hair tickled your nape when he nuzzled in closer.

After a gentle kiss on your forehead, he became incredibly still in his slumber with light breaths echoing into your ears. Even while sleeping he clutched to you with a desperateness that proved he was terrified to let go of you ever again.

You would have been completely content if it weren't for the one thought plaguing the very pit of your subconscious. The two of you talked about nearly everything that night, both good and bad. Your admission into Orvud was not one of those things.

The chirp of a particularly obnoxious bird stirred you from your peace, but you didn't mind the second your eyes fluttered open and landed on Eren's still sleeping form.

Happy. Even in his sleep his lips curled upwards ever so slightly. The skin surrounding his eyes crinkled subtly, and when you stirred to get more comfortable his grip on your hip tightened.

"Please don't go," he muttered while waking, voice raspy with drowsiness.

"I'm not going anywhere," you reassured while grabbing his knuckles and bringing them to your lips to kiss them. The coolness of one of his metal rings shocked your sensitive skin.

Your two bodies laid there for many more minutes, soaking in each other's presence like you never had before. Eren truly was a drug to you. You were completely and utterly addicted. The past month without him was your uniquely weird version of withdraw, and now that he was within your grasp again you felt as if you'd die before letting him go. You couldn't, not again.
