eren stares at you in silent disbelief, like he has imaginary question marks above his head.
he scoffs, “you must be joking.”
“I’m not.” you respond almost immediately. you could admit, this was a petty move from you. you and eren have bickered and argued countless times, but you always ended up patching things together. you’ve never slept without him, let alone kick him out of the room.
his forehead crinkles a bit and he crosses his arms. “I’m sleeping in my bed.”
you pick up a pillow from your side of the bed and toss it to him. “goodnight.”
“i don’t get a blanket?”
you stare at him blankly for a few seconds before reluctantly getting up and grabbing a mini comforter from out of your closet, tossing it to him, and getting back into bed. “goodnight.”
eren watches as you turn over to go to sleep, pulling the blanket over your shoulder. he smacks his teeth, lugging himself out of the room and shutting the door behind him.
however, he refuses to sleep on that couch. one, it’s uncomfortable, and two, it feels way too weird to sleep without you. his jaw tightens a bit. usually eren would put up more of a fight, but he’s too tired to convince you to be reasonable.
a few minutes go by; minutes that feel like hours. you didn’t anticipate that you wouldn’t be able to sleep in an empty bed. it’s too quiet. but you’ve done it before, so why can’t you now? you shift restlessly in the blanket in an attempt to get more comfortable and shut your eyes. in the midst of you counting sheep (literally), you hear the faint sound of the door creaking.
before you can turn around to question the sound, the bed dips in from eren’s weight.
you whip your head to face eren, who is already getting comfortable in the blanket you both share.
“eren, I thought I told you to-“
“shhh, I’m trying to sleep.” he blankly states without opening his eyes.
you stare at him unamused, eventually turning back over on your right side.
about another 30 minutes passed, your eyes are heavy, but your body won’t let you rest. this was opposite of eren, whose snoring almost felt like it was mocking you. how can he even sleep right now?
you press your lips together, contemplating getting up and finding something to do instead of sleeping. when you try to sit up, an arm wraps around your torso, preventing you from getting out of bed.
you squint at eren in confusion. is he still asleep? the moment you move again, he groans, pulling you closer to him. his breathing returns back to normal when he realizes you aren’t moving anymore.
you suppress a laugh. he won’t believe you when you tell him how clingy he gets when he’s sleeping. you don’t protest against his hold though. and within the span of a few minutes, you finally fall asleep.
