farwell, my friends.
In less than ten minute Armin parked the car in the club's parking lot and we got out of the car, smiling at each other before making our way inside the double wooden doors. As soon as we got in loud music killed our ears, and we were greeted by our friends, some dancing in the dancing floor like crazy, and some, like Mikasa and Annie, sat on one of the tables with drinks in their hands.
I looked around the room and I could find Sasha and Connie already jumping around in the dance floor, wearing matching hats like always, to their left I could see Marco and Jean dancing together, and Rainier trying to make Bert to dance with him.
I walked over and waved to Mikasa. She was wearing a black sleeveless dress that reached her knees, and the scurf I gave her when she first joined our family was around her neck lazily. Next to her was Annie, a bored expression on her face with her blond hair tucked up in a bun, and she was wearing a light blue floral dress, sipping her drink as she looked up at me and Armin, making our way to their table and sitting down after awkward hugs.
"You're late." Mikasa stated, looking up at me with her dark eyes, but I knew she was just worried. I opened my mouth to say something, but Armin cut me.
"Yeah, Eren over slept again. I had to wake him up." He said with a shit-eating grin on his lips as I hit his arm gently.
Not fifteen minutes passed by and I was already swept off my feet in the dance floor, just the music and the feeling of being with my friends making me drunk. But the song stopped suddenly, and everyone stopped moving and looked over to Ymir, smug look on her face. "You started without me?!" She asked, before changing from Sasha's IPod to her's and another song started playing, and we all started singing and dancing to 'Nine in the afternoon' By P!ATD, now also Ymir and Krista joined to out dancing, and also Mikasa and Annie sang with us, laughing quietly as they took a video of us making jerks from ourselves.
The hours flew without our notices, and it was already 4:00pm. If you would look around, you will think there was one hell of a party, and there was so many people in there, but honestly, we weren’t that much people. Beer cans and pizza boxes was all over the place, pizza crusts thrown around and stepped on, and we were still jumping up and down in the dancefloor, having the best time of our life together.
But then Mikasa looked at the phone, letting out a deep sigh and walking over me. "Eren, it's 4 in the afternoon. We should stop now, Jean Marco and I gotta go, our flight is in four hours." She said, and she was right. I let out a long sigh and walked over the speakers and stopped the music, looking back at the group I will miss so much.
"You guys, we should start cleaning and get Jean, Marco and Kasa to the airport." I said, walking over the garbage bags we got before and handed a few to each, before we started cleaning around. After that, we took Rainier's job car, that was big enough to take us all together, and drove to the airport with them.
Because they were leaving for quite a long time, each of them had at least three suit cases, so each one of us took one and we walked in the airport, sitting with them after the check out and waiting for their flight. We all were sad, because now Jean Marco and Mikasa left, and tomorrow Sasha and Connie too. But it’s a good thing I still have Armin close to me. I don’t know what I would do without him.
Saying goodbye was the hardest, but after long, tight hugs and a few tears they left to their plane, waving to us before they were gone. The seven of us that left went back to the club, before each got to their homes, but Armin stayed over with me for a few nights, so I won't feel lonely.
The drive back to my place was quite, but it was pleasant. Armin kept smiling at me and I smiled back sadly, and then turned to look out the window, my forehead pressed to the warm glass and I closed my eyes, feeling the buzz of the car going through my body.
When we got back to the apartment building's parking lot, Armin parked and went to the back to take out his bag for the next few days, and I waited for him in the entry, sighing. When Armin came in we walked in the elevator, and before the doors could close, the same guy from the morning, the hot blond one, walked in, standing on my side and pressing the bottom to one floor underneath my place.
I looked over Armin and saw him moving nervously, his face red and he tried not to stare at the man. I let out a small laugh and shook my head, looking up at the man. Damn, he was even taller than Rainier probably…
"Good afternoon, sir. Can you please press the 5 floor?" I asked, smirking as I felt Armin's elbow in my side, but it never hurt.
"Of course. Are you new in this building? I'm sure I haven’t seen you before." He said as he pressed the bottom, looking down at us.
"Um, yeah. I'm living here, I moved in a week ago. I'm Eren, and this is my friend Armin." I said with a grin, holding my hand out for a shack, like the man my dad thought me to be.
The blond guy smiled down at me, shacking my hand with his bigger one, in a gentle grasp. Honestly, I think this hand can crush bones. He nodded his head and flashed us, I believe more towards Armin, a full smile, showing his white teeth to us. "Erwin Smith. If you will need anything, please feel free to come to me any time you feel like it." He said softly, before the elevator made a soft ting that announced that we reached the fourth floor. The metal doors opened and Erwin left with a nod of his head, before the doors could close I saw with door he got in. the 12th apartment. I will need to remember that for later.
I felt a slap on my shoulder, and I turned to a red looking Armin, hiding behind me slightly. At least that is what it looked like. "What did I do? I only said hi to my neighbor." I smirked, laughing softly.
"Eren! I know what this glint in your eyes means. Don’t even think about that." He whined, and then out floor came in view between the metal doors.
We made our way into my apartment and was greeted by Captain jumping on Armin from the shelf next to the door.
Armin let out a soft yelp but held the white cat, laughing softly and making his way to the couch, sitting on it with a huff and petting the fluff in his hands.
"Want tea? We can also watch movies and I think I still have the sweets from our last day on college." I said, taking out from my still empty cabinets (because I still hadn’t made a move to take out the things from the boxes and buy new stuffs) whatever I founded, like some sweets and chips, also I founded cookies and popcorn. I quickly made us tea and we sat on the couch, watching TV and eating whatever I had. Maybe we had a fight or two about that Erwin guy from before, and I might or not threw popcorn and chips on him and he back at me, and poor, poor Captain got so scared he ran into my room.
