Eren Snippet # 8 : A Gift
Eren and Y/N Age :10. Months before the fall
“Bye mom i’m going out !” Before he could rush out carla stopped the young boy “hold on eren, what do you have there ?” “N-Nothing special .. “ . Seeing the gift box he had it finally clicked for carla she dramatically gasped and in a playful but smug tone ‘asked’ the question . “ Could it be? That my son is going to confess to y/n? “ , “ M-Mom don’t be ridicul-“ 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 “morning..”.
“Good morning mikasa would you like some breakfast ?” She didn’t say much but did say yes with a small smile . “ Eren are you ok ? your cheeks are red” “ huh? “ walking closer to the boy she used her hand to his forehead . “Hmm you don’t have a fever .. so thats good “ despite just waking up mikasa was asking multiple questions making him mentally facepalm himself . ‘ Not this again ?! She always does this worrying too much like i’m her son !’ Clearing his throat he prepared to end the conversation . “I promise mikasa i’m ok.. “ rubbing the top of her hair made the girl blush a little . “ alright , bye mom i’m going out !” . “I’ll go with… you” , before she could offer to go with her crush eren ran out not hearing what she had to say .. “ mikasa don’t worry so much , he’s only meeting with y/n “ .
“Oh? Ok “ while the raven haired gave a short response she couldn’t help but feel confused .
“Bye dad i’m out !” The (h/c) ran out of the door . ‘Geez.. why did father act like that ?’ (Earlier in the morning ) “phew, all set” proud of herself of making a dessert without needing to bake it . Y/N’s father to decided to playfully catch his daughter by surprise.. “ you know that dessert looks really good y/n , you’ll make a fine wife one day to a certain boy” . “D-Dad w-we’re just friends! “ shaking her head while she’s beet red. ‘Uh-huh, you can’t fool me ‘ chuckling at the girls denial “you prettied up your hair “ “yeah! , i decided to look girly today “ “*smiling softly* it suits you, run along now “
“Ok” showing her father a happy grin . As she ran out her father thought to himself ‘ Eren , you better make my little girl happy one day.. for some reason she smiles more when it involves you ‘ smiling at this thought her dad went back inside closing the door . (Flashback ends ) . Once arriving at their spot she spotted the brunette “ Eren!!” Waving at him with the biggest smile on her face he blushed . Worried that she’ll fall , y/n pulled the unexpected and walked up to him without falling . “Well , that’s new for once you actually didn’t need me to pick you up “ 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 . “ I guess there is a first time for everything “
still laughing , at times he’d find it a tad bit annoying especially when she’d be smug with him after she won one of their games. But this time a different feeling arose ‘ S-She actually looks cute when she smiles’ heat rising on his cheeks and taken aback by this ‘weird feeling’.
“Well c’mon let’s go” humming in agreement both walked up to the grass next to the tree .
“Here “ 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 .
“ y/n what are these?” “Chocolate covered strawberries! I made them last night trying to think of a new thing you haven’t tried and this came up in my head” ‘ S-She made these for me ?” stunned she went this far “oi , eren” ‘geez he’s so helpless ..*lightbulb going off in her head * that’s it!’ . with a silent but nervous gulp y/n grabbed his chin which made his eyes widen “Y-Y/N what’re you-“ “S-Shut up open your mouth and eat one ..” y/n grabbed a strawberry put it into his mouth wondering what his opinion will be once he’s finishes.
“H-How is it?” “ amazing y/n” not expecting for him to answer so nicely caught her off guard.
“G-Good i’m so glad “ smiling of relief . “ y-y/n i never knew you could be so-“ not meaning to say it out loud y/n’s face was a deep shade of red . “ a-anyway! I also got something for you”
Her face perked up with curiosity . “ huh you did?” Too embarrassed to answer he gave her his gift box . Once opened her eyes lit up ,
“is this -?” “Yeah it’s chocolate with cherries in them” ‘he got these for me ?, i never thought you’d be so sweet ‘ popping a piece into her mouth her face lit up with delight . “ mmm! *holding her cheek while y/n savors the taste*
It’s perfect eren ! thank you so much “ showing longtime friend a joyful smile made him blush and his heart would beat unusually fast .
‘How the hell does she have this effect on me ?
I-It’s like … all i want is for her to smile only at me”. 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 “y-y/n , do you realize what you just-“ w-well you had just an idiotic face p-plus i wanted you to try it too”. 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 .
“ she does realize you don’t always need help right?” “I know ! *groaning * it’s like i’m her kid brother”. The girl lightly chuckled expecting no less from the raven haired girl “that’s mikasa alright” 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..
