synopsis in the final days you have with eren before you have to go away for college, he takes you on one last date before you leave

a / n back from a hiatus i wasn’t even aware i was taking only explanation is that i’ve been in between fandoms and didn’t feel like writing for anyone really. but i’ve recently attached myself to jjk so let’s see how that goes

“Eren, I don’t understand the need for a blindfold.” Your fingers came up to touch the material for the umpteenth time. Eren scoffed, his hand coming over to swat your hand away just like the other times.

“It wouldn’t be much of a surprise without one, would it?” Your body jerked to the right as Eren hit another sharp turn.

You huffed. “Well, the more you drive recklessly, the more I want this surprise to be over.”

He laughed. “Don’t worry, you big baby. We’re here now.” The car eased to a stop in what you guessed was a parking spot. It didn’t take long for you to process where this surprise was.

From the amount of turns, to the salty smell of the ocean. You already knew Eren had taken you to the beach.

“We’re at the beach?” Eren finally removed that blindfold. The beach was practically deserted at this hour, at least on the side Eren always brought you to.

“Don’t like it?” He asked, already getting out of the car.

You followed suit, opening the passengers door and having Eren join by your side. “I don’t mind but we come here all the time.”

“I know, I know,” Eren grabs the both of your wrists, leading you both from the pavement to the sea of sand. “But I wanted this to be the last spot we came to before you have to start packing tomorrow.”

Eren said it with a smile but you could tell that sentence hurt him more to say than for you to hear. For you, Eren had always put on a brave face. No matter what the circumstances were, he always made sure you knew he was “taking it well”.

Being one of the closest people to Eren, you knew when he was on the opposite spectrum of that. You knew when a situation was weighing down on him, you knew when he was stressed out, you could when he just wanted to breakdown.

You saw all those things clearly ever since you told him you wanted to travel for college. Specifically, thousands of miles away from him. Eren always knew he wanted to stay homebound for college, and so did you. But unlike him, you didn’t have much ties to your hometown. Besides him and your friends.

And you had the overwhelming want to travel since forever. Since you got the chance with a scholarship to a college across the country, you weren’t going to pass it up. Much to Eren’s dismay.

He was upset, to say the least. It wasn’t direct but he was trying to convince you to try other options. Like for example, stay with him. Thankfully, he let that hope go when he saw that you were serious about this decision.

Yet, even though you knew he had come to terms with the idea, he was still hurt and worried for your relationship. You were too. For the past year your relationship has managed to withstand anything, but the possibility that long distance could deliver the blow prodded at you.

“I think this is our usual spot.” Eren sat down on the sand, bringing you down with him. You two sat side by side in silence. Just listening to the repeated crashing of the waves.

It reminded you of the moment this had become you and Eren’s spot. One year ago, the both of you sitting close to this very spot on the sand. Talking about nothing. There was no worry that one of you had to leave for a while. Just the worry Eren had that you’d say no to his request of being his girlfriend.

The memory made you laugh, your forehead meeting your knees. Eren looked over in concern.

“Are you okay?” Your eyes met his curious gaze and you couldn’t help but laugh more.

“I was just thinking about the night you confessed to me. And how we started dating at this exact spot.” Your laughter subsided as you laid back onto the sand. In the moment, you weren’t worried where it landed but you knew you’d be annoyed when you say up.

Yet, when Eren joined you and copied the way you looked up at the sky, your future worries melted with ease.

“16 year old Eren was quite the romantic, choosing to confess to you at a beach at night.” Eren mused. You hummed, a soft laugh rumbling in your chest.

“Now that I think about it, I think that’s the most romantic thing you’ve done.” Your laughter was more audible when you heard Eren’s gasp.

His hand landed on his chest, he was obviously offended. “I have done romantic things since then,” He sat up onto his elbows.

“Like— remember the time I—” Eren paused when began to laugh more hysterically. He scoffed, plopping back onto the sand.

“You were joking.” He said bitterly in realization. You nodded, shuffling over to place your head on his chest.

“I was just joking, bub. You’re very romantic.” Eren sucked his teeth, his hand coming up to dust sand from your hair.

You cleared your throat. “I’m going to miss this.” You whispered, hesitant, hoping you didn’t cut deeper into any of Eren’s open wounds. He inhaled deeply.

“So am I.” He whispered back, his hand rested on the side of your neck, his thumb caressing your cheek.

The silence returned but you could only focus on the present. You wouldn’t get a moment like this with Eren for a while and that you couldn’t even imagine.

“You know,” Eren interrupted your thought process. You hummed in response. “I brought you here to stargaze.”

“Really?” You inquired.

“Yea. I wanted to say one of those cheesy lines like how, even though you’re thousands of miles away, I’d always be with you because of the stars. But then I realized that line was really bad.” He laughed it off. And usually, you would too. But just him admitting that weighed into the fact you’d really be without him and only with him through your devices.

You wouldn’t be able to hear any more borderline terrible jokes or what he considers romantic lines in person, on his chest, on his shoulder. The thought singly made tears well up in your eyes and your tears fell before you could blink them away.

The sudden wet spots of Eren’s shirt and the sound of your sniffling alerted him. He sat up immediately, bringing your body up as well.

“Oh no, I know it was really bad but don’t cry.” Eren’s fingers came to wipe your tears before cradling your face in his palms. You laughed at him sadly.

“I’m not crying because of your terrible line, idiot. I’m crying because I’m actually going miss you telling me them in person. It’s not going to be the same when we’re thousands miles apart.” Your explanation made Eren frown.

He sighed, leaning his forehead onto your own. “I know. And I know it’s selfish to say that I’d do anything for you to stay with me but I know you going to that college is what’s best for you. I want what’s best for you and if it means we’ll have to be apart for a while, I can accept that.”

Again with the silence with only the sound of the waves. You sat on Eren’s words, trying to accept the situation just like he had.

You scoffed, weakly hitting his chest. “How are you taking this better than me?”

Eren laughed, pulling back hut still keeping his hands cupping your face. “I’m not, seriously. But I love you and I know that this is what’s happening. And I know we’ll still be together no matter what.”

That made your frown upturn a bit. Eren had faith in your relationship, and there was no reason for you to have doubt when he didn’t.

You sucked your teeth. “I love you too.”

“Yea, I know.”

synopsis winter things with some of the aot characters

author’s note i recently caught up on the aot manga and it ripped me apart. so, for my own self indulgence, here’s winter things i’d want to do with them individually ( or could see them doing )

eren yeager;

• please ask him if he wants to build gingerbread houses
• i can see it getting competitive, so competitive that eren wants armin to step in as judge
• just to see his reaction, you play dirty ( eat steal some of his materials, even go as far as breaking his gingerbread, etc. )
• doesn’t notice for a while but thanks to your snickering and armin trying to hold back his laughter, it clicks
• and boy, was eren not having it
• after his rant you give the competition to him even though he won technically because of your cheating

armin arlert;

• i don’t know why but i can see gift wrapping with armin being therapeutic
• there’s the faint sound of christmas songs while you two are having small talk about who’s present you’re wrapping
• softly asking each other for materials
• and if there’s bigger gifts, asking for help from one another
• and for myself: he’d be there to calm you down when you accidentally pull too hard on paper and rip it

levi ackerman;

• just one look at levi and you can tell he’s not one for christmas spirit
• but pester him a enough times to help you decorate and you’ll get what you want
• he claims it’s because he doesn’t want you to make the house ugly but truly he likes it
• you know for a fact when you see him focusing hard on which bulb to put on the tree
• to make it more fun, you guys decorate different parts of the house
• and at the end of it all, you two sit down and enjoy tea ( while levi comments on the parts of the house you did )

hange zoë;

• obnoxiously singing christmas songs
• i just know it’s the best feeling to scream your lungs out with hange
• your guys’ voice cracking and everything
• not a single key is being hit but it’s fun
• it’s usually done on christmas day when everyone else is over
• and yes, levi hates it

sasha braus;

• you and sasha annually decorate christmas cookies
• of course with sasha, it’s not smooth sailing
• by time you guys are done half of the materials have been digested by her
• but she still lets you have your fun and you guys end up with a handful of nice cookies
• which by the end of the night are eaten by sasha but it’s still fun

jean kirstein;

• all i want is to watch christmas lights with jean
• he’ll probably think it’s stupid at first but since you want to do it, he will no doubt
• he’s glad he goes along with you because seeing your reaction every time you guys see a breathtaking display makes his heart warm
• lets be honest, connie and sasha tag along and they don’t hold back every time they see him smile at you

connie springer;

• speaking of connie, snowball fights are necessary every winter season with him
• it’s all fun and games until connie nails you in the face and then you’re out for blood
• you both have forts with stacks of snowballs and you guys could go all day
• usually it ends sooner than later since it’s freezing
• ends with you two cuddled up inside

mikasa ackerman;

• build a snowman with her NOW
• she’ll be hesitant at first because just like levi, winter fun doesn’t seem like her thing either
• but after seeing how much you’re enjoying it she’ll embrace it
• liked dressing it the most, even went as far as wrapping her scarf around it
• was, surprisingly, sad when it melted
