Returning
Eren's P.O.V.
I woke up and stretched. I sat up and scratched my neck with my right hand. What's weird about this picture? Oh, that's right. I was not chained to the couch as I had been the night before. I got up an headed to the door. Just as I was about to open it, it opened itself.
"Holy Mother of Satan!!" I shouted, not really knowing what was coming out of my mouth. I fell onto my ass and looked up at a blonde figure. It was Armin. He threw a shirt and pants at me. "Wait! What is going on?" I asked him.
"Get changed! We're leaving in half an hour and you need to get ready, " he said. I looked at him, still confused.
"Where are we going?" I asked, scared. He put his forefingers on his temples and sighed disparagingly.
"School. Winter break is done, and school is starting today. Now, come on! Get ready!" he said as he chucked my shoes at me, hitting my head.
"One: Ow! And, two: I am not going to school, " I said.
"Yes, you are. I'm not leaving you here for eight hours on the weekdays unsupervised! Now, I'll say it again: Get ready!" she shouted at me. I wasn't giving up yet.
"Bertodth, Reiner, and Annie go to school, too, ya know?! If they so much as smell me, they will end me! I am not--repeat not--dying just yet, " I returned. I got up and picked up the clothes and shoes. I headed back to the couch and sat down, putting my belongings down to my right. I heard Armin sigh, then softly pad over to me in his slippers.
"Do you really think I haven't thought that far ahead? Seriously? You really underestimate me!" he said, pushing gently on my shoulder with his. I looked at him again, curious.
"Well, then what are we gonna do?" I asked, shrugging. He looked me in the eyes, threatening to incinerate me with his baby-blues. He grabbed a scruff of my hair, pulling me forward.
"This, " he whispered, as he rubbed his neck against mine. I wanted to pull away, but my body froze completely. Rubbing gently, he spread his smell to me, masking my own. I felt his scent glands scrub against my own. My eyes glazed over and I felt heavy but light at the same time. I didn't know how, but I liked it. I wanted so badly to grab his face and kiss him. I didn't though. I still had some of my self-control, but it was fading fast!
I felt like we were sitting there for hours, our scents mingling and dancing above us. My eyes slowly closed, and my hand drifted to Armin's thigh. I waited, wanting to know if he would move it away, but he didn't. I let it rest there for a while, mind hazy. After a short pause, I lifted it from his thigh and entangled it in his hair, brushing his nape. He didn't seem to mind then either. He slowed his motions, painstakingly and carefully making me smell of him.
He pulled away slowly, mouse mouth opened slightly. I looked at it, letting my tongue dart out and wet my lips a bit. I saw him tremble a tiny bit, but I might've imagined it. He closed his eyes, so I closed mine. I leaned in, mind and heart racing. I could feel his soft, warm breath on my lips. Just before I scooped up his lips in my own, he interrupted.
"We should probably get ready. Don't you think so?" he said, voice softer than a whisper. I opened my mouth and took in a deep breath. Opening my eyes and leaning back, I let go of him.
"Yeah, " I cleared my throat, "Yeah, we-we probably should." I sighed and rubbed my eyes. I grabbed the stuff between us and told him to leave so I could change. He complied. He started for the door, as I began to undress. I took my shirt off, and Armin called to me.
"E-Eren, " he called. I turned and responded.
"Yeah?"
"N-nothing! Hurry up!" he shouted, blushing so much that he looked sunburned. He ran out, slamming the door behind him. I raised an eyebrow at the closed door.
"What is wrong with him? What? You didn't want to kiss me, but now you blush when you see my body? Isn't supposed to be the other way around for celibates? Who am I asking? I've lost it, " I mumbled as I readied myself for the day ahead. The day I was dreading.
Armin's P.O.V.
"You ready?" I asked Eren as he emerged from the bathroom in the garage. He nodded. "Great! Now, come on! I'm driving, " I said, smirking. Eren at me, confused as usual. I walked with him to the driveway. I pulled the tarp off of it with a woosh.
"Aw, Hell to the no! I am not getting on that thing!" he said, pointing at the bike.
"C'mon, I've been driving this thing since I got my lisense. It's completely safe. I promise, " I tried to assure him, but he shook his head.
"I am not riding a motorcycle. That is not how I am dying!" he shouted. I told him to shut up, or my parents might wake up. He huffed and quieted down.
"Look, I have two helmets, and this thing can carry two people. Now, come on! School starts soon, " I pressured. After a bit of coaxing and debating, Eren finally agreed to taking the bike to school. I put on my helmet and backpack. I helped Eren with his helmet. We both mounted the bike, me in front. "I'd hold on to me, if I were you. We're gonna be late if I don't speed. I don't want you falling off, " I told him. He slowly placed his arms around my waist and squeezed slightly. I felt a shiver run down my spine, but forced myself to ignore it. I kicked the kickstand up so that it was off the ground. I balanced us and pulled on the handle to get the motor running.
And, we were off. Speeding down the streets, Eren and I drove. Eren hugged so tightly from behind that I thought if he squeezed any tighter, I'd suffocate. He nuzzled his face into my back, which proved to be a little uncomfortable what with the helmets. I lived pretty far from the school, so it took a bit of time to reach it. I was really speeding, so we ended up arriving at the school parking lot with ten minutes to spare.
I found my parking spot and parked my bike. I took out the key, took off my helmet, and shook my head to get my hair to fall into my face as it naturally did. I tried to get off, but I was being held in place. I tried to loosen his vice-like grip but failed.
"E-Eren, we're here. You don't need to hold on for dear life anymore, ya know, " I said over my shoulder to Eren. He mumbled something, but I couldn't hear him. "What was that?" I asked. He let go of me and got off the motorcycle. He took off the helmet and fixed his hair.
"Nothing! Come on, school'll start any minute, now, " he said, refusing to look at me. I got off as well and put the helmets on the bike's handles. We walked together to the school main building, then split ways to head to our respective classes.
"Wait near Building C when school's up, so we can go back together. If you're not there by the time I am, I'm leaving without you. Got it?" I told the brunette. He nodded.
The bell rang, and I ran to class. I refused to tarnish my perfect attendance record!
Eren's P.O.V.
(rewind about three minutes)
"E-Eren, we're here. You don't have to hold on for dear life, ya know, " Armin said to me over his shoulder. I didn't loosen my grip around his waist.
"What if I don't want to let go? What if I want to hold onto you forever?" I mumbled, barely hearing my own words.
"What was that? he asked in his sweet, angelic voice that made want to kiss him so badly. I wanted to drag him to an empty room and take him. I got up, took off the helmet, and tried in vain to fix my hair, instead.
"Nothing!" I said, a little too loudly, "Come on, school'll start any minute now." I started walking away as soon as I gave Armin his helmet back. He caught up to me and told me to wait for him near Building C after school. I nodded just as the bell rang. He waved goodbye and ran to his classroom. I stopped and just watched him until he was out of sight. 'Damn! You've got one hot ass and don't even know it! You're gonna make me crack soon, if you keep that up! Ugh! What class do I even go to? I can't remember! Damnitt, Armin, you've hypnotized me!' I thought as I wandered around the school campus.
"School can't be over too soon.........."
