note : based off of this request!

the first sign that something was wrong probably should’ve been when you had heard that weird sputtering noise coming from the hood of your car, followed by a violent shudder that made you grip the steering wheel til your knuckles began to turn white.

“oh… you’re fucking kidding me.”

you tried pressing down on the gas as hard as you could but it was really no use. the car gave one last sputter before rolling to a stop on the side of the road.

looking out the window, you tried your best to find some source of life, although came up empty. there wasn’t a single streetlight, car, or house anywhere in sight.

calling roadside assistance kinda felt like overkill for you though, and it was also slightly embarrassing that you had been ignoring the stupid, little check engine light for far too long.

the words toji had said last week suddenly came to mind, something about you calling him if your “shitbox of a car” ever broke down after you had been complaining about it for a month.

with a reluctant sigh, you got out your phone and pulled up toji’s contact.

you stared at his name on the screen for probably longer than you should’ve before finally hitting the call button. at first, you thought he might be asleep, or just letting it ring, but on the last ring, he picked up.

“what.”

god, now you remembered why you were hesitant to call him. calling him meant admitting he was right, and unfortunately for you, that was something you generally tried to avoid at all costs.

“jeez, nice to hear from you too.” you replied, voice clipped and very clearly annoyed.

there was a brief pause on the other end of the line before he said your name with a huff, to which you frowned at.

“why are you calling me?” he seemed tired, which was fair considering it was kind of late and he had probably been away on one of those weird ass jobs that he took when the mechanic was having a bit of a slow day.

but still, it’s not like you wanted to be here either, you thought, looking out the window once again at the lifeless street.

you decided to hold off on telling him about why you actually called, which probably wasn’t the wisest. “aren’t you wondering where i’ve been all night?”

“i just got back myself, so this better be fucking good if you would just get to the problem already.” oof, he really wasn’t having it right now. just your luck.

“why do you assume there’s a problem?” you pushed, mentally preparing yourself to tell him while hoping he won’t crash out and/or make fun of you.

after a couple more minutes of back and fourth, you realised you probably shouldn’t push your luck any more than your already have just by calling him.

“mycarbrokedowninthemiddleofnowhere and ineedyourhelp” you rushed out, leaning your head on the steering wheel right as you said it and awaiting his reply.

the silence was very stressful, actually, and it was there for at least thirty seconds before you heard the rustling of what was probably your couch and the jingle of keys.

relief flooded through you as he finally spoke, sounding more worried than anything. “do you know where you are?”

you listed off the last place you had remembered seeing on your gps before he hung up and you leaned back into your seat, thankful for the lack of “i told you so”’s.

unsure of how long you were waiting for him and your only company being the soft tick of your car as it began to cool down, you leaned back against the headrest once again.

you’d barely managed to convince yourself that sitting alone in your car in the middle of nowhere wasn’t as creepy as it seems when headlights appeared in the distance.

sitting up immediately, you were grateful to see that it was toji’s car driving towards you and not a potential kidnapper.

his car pulled up behind yours and you watched as he climbed out, closing the door behind him. it didn’t take more then a glance at him to tell he was probably just about to go to sleep.

he was in an old t-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants you had seen him wear on countless different occasions.

you stepped out of your car as well now, wrapping your cardigan tighter around yourself while meeting him at the hood of your car.

“you okay?”

you stared at him for a second. out of all the things you had expected him to say, this was not in fact one of them.

after a small nod of reassurance from you, he got straight to hassling and inspecting?

“how long has that check engine light been on?”

you shrugged, “…why?”

he stood up straighter from his bent down position, looking like a disappointed mother. “answer the question.”

“i don’t know.” you mumbled out, rubbing your hands together for just that little bit of extra warmth.

“bullshit.”

“a week?”

he stayed silent, staring at you and simply raising an eyebrow, prompting for the truth.

“maybe three?”

“a month.”

“okay, fine, maybe a month.”

with a roll of his eyes, he went back to inspecting the front of your car. “you’ve been driving this thing around for a month with not a single worry.”

you shook your head no before realising he couldn’t see you right now. “i guess.” you were still just awkwardly standing beside him, unsure of what to do with yourself for the time being as he worked away.

actually, you weren’t really sure if he was doing something to your car or just looking at it.

“is it bad?” you asked.

“probably.”

your face dropped. “probably?”

he nodded, once again standing up straight and looking at you. “cold?”

hardly processing his words, you gave a small shrug of the shoulders. the cold was actually long forgotten in your mind now as you were far too distracted by the fact you’ll probably have to pay a shit ton of money to get this fixed.

the tow alone would be a pain in the ass.

clearly the stress was visible on your face because toji’s expression softened only slightly while he stared at you. “c’mon, grab your shit and meet me in my car.”

“wha— what? why?” you stammered, watching his figure that was already beginning to make his way over to his car.

he looked at you like you were crazy, “you think i’m just gonna leave you here?”

“but what about my car?”

“i’ll deal with it in the morning, don’t worry. kay?” closing the car door behind him, toji stared at the confused look on your face. it was almost endearing to him.

not that he would ever admit it to anyone, but he was glad you had come to him for help. even if it wasn’t exactly for the comforting type of help, he was trying his best despite that.

when you got to his car all you were holding was your phone that had very little service out here and your car keys.

it was almost completely silent save for the buckling of your seatbelt along with the crickets outside which left an awkward sort of atmosphere hanging about you both.

despite being roomates for a while now, toji was yet to have you be emotional around him. so even now, when you were trying your very hardest to conceal your feelings and stress, the change was very noticeable to him.

he glanced down at you from the drivers seat where you were staring down at your feet, hands interlocked on your lap.

he called your name in a gentle but firm tone and you looked back up, the smallest tilt in your head. “stop doing that.”

“doing what?” you asked.

“worrying.”

you rolled your eyes, looking back down at your fidgeting hands. you knew he was just trying to be nice, albeit in his own special way, but you really weren’t in the mood.

toji sighed. he wasn’t exactly good at comforting people, he knew that about himself. it really wasn’t his thing. fixing things was though.

cars, broking cabinets, leaky pipes, or whatever the hell else needed fixing around the house, he’s your guy. those things were easy to him anyway. because there was a reason those things were broken, and he could find the reason then fix it, simple.

people were a little harder though.

“look at me.”

you hesitated for a second before listening, turning your head towards him again but still picking at the edge of your shirt.

something about him seemed different, even if you weren’t quite sure what.

“you’re not stuck out there anymore.”

a small hum of confusion escaped you.

he continued, “i came and got you. your cars gonna be fine, we’ll get it to the shop tomorrow, figure out what’s wrong with it, and then you can stop driving around that piece of shit before it tries to kill you again.”

“that’s supposed to make me feel better?” you said through the smallest little laugh.

“yeah.”

“you’re terrible at this.”

he laughed with you and you smiled faintly, choosing to accept his reassurances and stress about the car later.

you let yourself sink further into the seat, finally allowing some of the tension to leave from your shoulders as the warmth from the heater began to settle in.

for a while, neither of you said anything. you watched as the dark road passed by through the window, occasionally catching the faint reflection of his face in the glass. at some point, your hand had drifted closer to his on the centre console, your pinky brushing against his for a moment.

toji glanced down, then looked up at you, but didn’t move his hand. neither of you did.

“thanks.” you murmured again.

“don’t worry about it,” he said quietly. “i’ve got you.”

masterlist part four

there was something strangely romantic about the skatepark after midnight, when there was nothing more than flickering street lights to illuminate the strangers face in front of you. his name was evan, or maybe eren? you were sure it started with an e at least.

truth be told you weren’t exactly listening as he had blown a puff of smoke out of his mouth and asked if you wanted to learn how to skateboard. after politely declining, you had climbed up one of the taller ramps at the park and sat at the top, settling into the cold concrete.

naturally, there weren’t any other people here at this time of day (night?), but eren hadn’t made you feel uncomfortable, and your brain was much too fuzzy to comprehend if he had, so you didn’t entertain the thought of leaving.

a moment later, the guy came rolling over before dropping off his board to sit. it was quiet for a while as he sat beside you with his forearms rested on his knees, the skateboard forgotten behind him.

at one point he might’ve asked about your major, or if you had ever smoked before. you weren’t even sure if he knew your name yet.

it didn’t really matter.

as you got lost in thought, eren kept droning on beside you, fully aware you weren’t really listening. you were almost a hundred percent sure that you had seen this boy around campus before— maybe in your morning classes that always felt like a blur.

he must’ve had a pretty quiet presence for you to not notice him, even if everything happening around you right now led you to believe he was anything but quiet.

the conversation drifted on aimlessly with him telling stories about when he first started learning how to skateboard in highschool on a borrowed penny board.

eren had passed you whatever it was he was smoking halfway through his story and you had blindly inhaled, not bothering to ask what it was.

“you seem a little too trusting.” he added quietly at some point, cutting himself off to state his observations.

you hummed quietly in acknowledgment, finally turning to face him and really noticing his grey eyes that looked somewhat hollow. “do i?”

“trusting enough to give skateboarding a go?” he finished hopefully, his voice sounding smaller than it had all night.

with a small shrug you stood up with him and watched as he wordlessly grabbed the board, sliding down the ramp you guys had been sitting on for what felt like forever but was probably closer to ten or fifteen minutes max.

you followed along quietly, using his biceps for balance after stepping onto the board.

“easy,” he murmured. “i’ve got you.”

you weren’t sure why those three words settled your nerves as much as they did. it was weird, you didn’t even know this guy. not really, at least.

you knew his name, assuming you’d remembered it correctly this time, you knew he smoked and that he skated well enough to make it look easy as hell. which you were quickly realising it was not.

but either way, none of those things were enough to make you trust someone.

and yet here you were, letting some stranger settle your waist at two in the morning while you balanced on his busted up skateboard.

but just for tonight, you decided not to think too hard on it.

a/n : i wrote this at 2am sorry
