Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 10

"You what!? Lee snaps, not sure whether he was completely confused or just pissed off. But I think it was a mixture of both. Eren didn't register Lee yelling at him so he turns to me "He did what?!" And I take a small step back

"He literally didn't know what he was doing, Lee. He thought he was helping me by getting my first kiss over and done with" I try to defend Eren.

I hate that it actually did help when it came to me kissing Andrew so I had to stand up for him. My brother knows better then anyone the way Eren is with girls, so to hear that Eren kissed me is most likely sending his mind into madness. Lee shakes his head

"How the hell does that work?!" Lee shouts and storms over to Eren. I follow him with my torch. His face was red and his hands were clenched into fists beside him.

As I think he's about to hit him- and I think Eren thought so too because he covered his face with his hand- Lee grabs Erens arm and tugs him free in one, swift movement.

I catch a flicker of hurt in his eyes seeing his best friend literally cower from him as he starts walking back the way we came

"Come on!" He snaps back at us. This gets my feet moving. Eren was behind me with his hands in the air, silently cheering now he was free

He has no idea he just told his best friend that he kissed his sister.

Or that he turned in to such a mess over something I said, that he probably didn't give a second thought to sober. I realised then and there, watching Eren cheer and punch the sky that i hate him more when he's drunk then sober

The walk home was awkward and more tiring then the walk there. I was completely awake yet I was finding it more difficult to move my feet. Lee was in front, walking at a very fast pace that i had no chance of keeping up with. Eren wasn't doing any better either. He kept stumbling and tripping until he finally grabbed a hold of me and used me as a walking stick. Lee never said a word the whole walk back

"This is why I rang you and not him" Eren mumbles into my shoulder, leaning all over me allowing me to bare his full weight
"He's no help. Look at him marching in front of us like he owns the place" he scoffs "please"

It hit me when he finished his ramblings that he said he rang me. He knows he rang me. So he was trying to get in contact with me and not Lee.

My chest felt warm thinking back on what Lee said, Eren needed me. Even if he'd never admit it. I look down at him and he was almost falling off my shoulder. I grip his waist and yank him upwards so he's standing up straight

"Careful. Your brother's just in front of us, you dirty girl" He grins and I gently slap it off his face. He stops making dumb remarks after that

"How did you manage to get your arm stuck down there anyway?" I ask and try my luck with getting a legitimate answer

"There was a squirrel that was just asking to be touched" He says with no shame, his warm breath hitting my cold neck, sending a shiver down my spine nonetheless. I try to assess whether he was lying or not but he wasn't looking at me to know, he was reaching out in front of us like the squirrel was right there

As we walk back, every so often I feel Eren looking at me and everytime I look down at him he looks away and makes it very obvious he was doing so as well.

My mind wandered to what he was rambling about when he was stuck. I glance at him as he concentrates on not tripping. Does he really think I don't care about him?

I wouldn't have thought that'd bother him considering the way he treats me. But even so, I care. I'll always care

"Eren" I say his name softly and he looks up at me the moment we walk under a white street light. It reflected off of his bright blue eyes in the most perfect way. His crying made his eyes look lighter then usual too, making him look vulnerable but in an oddly attractive way... Even as I carried him like a child all the way home
