Eren Snippet # 8 : A Gift
Eren and Y/N Age :10. Months before the fall
âBye mom iâm going out !â Before he could rush out carla stopped the young boy âhold on eren, what do you have there ?â âN-Nothing special .. â . Seeing the gift box he had it finally clicked for carla she dramatically gasped and in a playful but smug tone âaskedâ the question . â Could it be? That my son is going to confess to y/n? â , â M-Mom donât be ridicul-â before the 10 year old boy could say anything else mikasa came out of her room with the red scarf around her neck like always . Yawning from waking up she groggily said âmorning..â.
âGood morning mikasa would you like some breakfast ?â She didnât say much but did say yes with a small smile . â Eren are you ok ? your cheeks are redâ â huh? â walking closer to the boy she used her hand to his forehead . âHmm you donât have a fever .. so thats good â despite just waking up mikasa was asking multiple questions making him mentally facepalm himself . â Not this again ?! She always does this worrying too much like iâm her son !â Clearing his throat he prepared to end the conversation . âI promise mikasa iâm ok.. â rubbing the top of her hair made the girl blush a little . â alright , bye mom iâm going out !â . âIâll go with⌠youâ , before she could offer to go with her crush eren ran out not hearing what she had to say .. â mikasa donât worry so much , heâs only meeting with y/n â .
âOh? Ok â while the raven haired gave a short response she couldnât help but feel confused .
âBye dad iâm out !â The (h/c) ran out of the door . âGeez.. why did father act like that ?â (Earlier in the morning ) âphew, all setâ proud of herself of making a dessert without needing to bake it . Y/Nâs father to decided to playfully catch his daughter by surprise.. â you know that dessert looks really good y/n , youâll make a fine wife one day to a certain boyâ . âD-Dad w-weâre just friends! â shaking her head while sheâs beet red. âUh-huh, you canât fool me â chuckling at the girls denial âyou prettied up your hair â âyeah! , i decided to look girly today â â*smiling softly* it suits you, run along now â
âOkâ showing her father a happy grin . As she ran out her father thought to himself â Eren , you better make my little girl happy one day.. for some reason she smiles more when it involves you â smiling at this thought her dad went back inside closing the door . (Flashback ends ) . Once arriving at their spot she spotted the brunette â Eren!!â Waving at him with the biggest smile on her face he blushed . Worried that sheâll fall , y/n pulled the unexpected and walked up to him without falling . âWell , thatâs new for once you actually didnât need me to pick you up â his words were to tease the young girl to get under her which it did . Naturally the teal/green boy expected y/n to pout.. which did in fact happen and she stuck stuck her tongue out too but what he expected the least was for the 5ft girl was to laugh about it . â I guess there is a first time for everything â
still laughing , at times heâd find it a tad bit annoying especially when sheâd be smug with him after she won one of their games. But this time a different feeling arose â S-She actually looks cute when she smilesâ heat rising on his cheeks and taken aback by this âweird feelingâ.
âWell câmon letâs goâ humming in agreement both walked up to the grass next to the tree .
âHere â shoving her gift box into his lap left the boy confused . Curious why she gave him a gift pushed that question aside and opened it up .
â y/n what are these?â âChocolate covered strawberries! I made them last night trying to think of a new thing you havenât tried and this came up in my headâ â S-She made these for me ?â stunned she went this far âoi , erenâ âgeez heâs so helpless ..*lightbulb going off in her head * thatâs it!â . with a silent but nervous gulp y/n grabbed his chin which made his eyes widen âY-Y/N whatâre you-â âS-Shut up open your mouth and eat one ..â y/n grabbed a strawberry put it into his mouth wondering what his opinion will be once heâs finishes.
âH-How is it?â â amazing y/nâ not expecting for him to answer so nicely caught her off guard.
âG-Good iâm so glad â smiling of relief . â y-y/n i never knew you could be so-â not meaning to say it out loud y/nâs face was a deep shade of red . â a-anyway! I also got something for youâ
Her face perked up with curiosity . â huh you did?â Too embarrassed to answer he gave her his gift box . Once opened her eyes lit up ,
âis this -?â âYeah itâs chocolate with cherries in themâ âhe got these for me ?, i never thought youâd be so sweet â popping a piece into her mouth her face lit up with delight . â mmm! *holding her cheek while y/n savors the taste*
Itâs perfect eren ! thank you so much â showing longtime friend a joyful smile made him blush and his heart would beat unusually fast .
âHow the hell does she have this effect on me ?
I-Itâs like ⌠all i want is for her to smile only at meâ. Finally looking at her direction he y/n only took half a bite and popped the other half into his mouth . Both of their breaths hitched, stunned at what just happened ây-y/n , do you realize what you just-â w-well you had just an idiotic face p-plus i wanted you to try it tooâ. Both had such a hard time looking at each other their eyes averted from each other with an obvious blush on their cheeks. Trying to get away from their awkwardness around each other . both laid down looking at the clouds talking about how weird their parents are acting and mikasa being protective of eren .
â she does realize you donât always need help right?â âI know ! *groaning * itâs like iâm her kid brotherâ. The girl lightly chuckled expecting no less from the raven haired girl âthatâs mikasa alrightâ finally grinning . Neither had to say much after years since their friendship started.. both were on a level where they understood one another the quietness brought a sense of calmness and for them that was enough..
