plot twist

When you wake up the morning of the grand opening of Niccolo's restaurant, you're excited for the day of celebrations and reunions.

When Eren wakes up the morning of the grand opening of Niccolo's restaurant, he's confused.

Confused about you.

Confused about him.

And, more importantly, confused about the world around him. A world that looks nothing like the one he died to destroy.

“E-Eren!” You exclaim as your shoulder strains, wrist no doubt bruising against his tight grip. 

He’s done this to you before- playfully, with less strain against your arm and when you’re in the mood to get a little freaky but right now this- this isn’t that. This is something else.

And that’s confirmed when he finally speaks, adding a slight pressure to your arm which has you hissing in pain:

“Who the hell are you?” He demands in a tone that you don’t recognize. 

It’s your boyfriend behind you, you know it’s your boyfriend behind you.

But at the same time...

...it’s a total stranger.
