Prologue
You were waiting patiently at the bus station, along with your friend Mikasa whom was scrolling through her phone aimlessly to pass the time. It's been a good ten minutes, which you used to inwardly plan the rest of your day.
Let's see... if I finish this review packet, I'll be free Sunday. Then I can--
"H-hello!"
You turned abruptly to the source that interrupted your thoughts. It was a boy half a foot taller than you. He had short chocolate brown hair, and his teal eyes were big and expressive. But he had a very intimidating look on his face, and based on his school uniform, he was from the neighboring school, Maria High. He looked unruly to say the least, and even though you try not to judge others by their appearance, you had your wits about you. Plus, you couldn't shake this odd feeling that you've met the guy before...
You mustered a friendly, but uneasy grin.
"Y-yes?"
He didn't respond, although he seemed like he was struggling to do so. He seemed... angry actually; his face turned a crimson red, and at that point, you didn't know what to do but look at him quizzically. Is he gonna beat you up?
"I... beg your pardon?"
He suddenly spun back around, rigidly walking away from you without a word. Behind you, Mikasa had a look of disbelief as she saw the strange scene unfold, then turned back to her phone muttering "that was weird".
Yes, very weird indeed...
----------------------------------------------------
"Hey, I've seen that girl before..." Eren muttered, more to himself. However, his taller friend heard him, loud and clear.
"Who, who?" Jean asked, surprised at Eren's sudden interest in girls.
"The cute one with the (h/c) hair." Jean looked straight ahead, and lo-and-behold, there you were. He had to agree with Eren, you were definitely cute, and judging from your uniform, you were from the prestigious school next door, Rose High. He whistled in appreciation, while the brunette inhaled and slapped his cheeks.
"Alright, wish me luck! I'm gonna get her number." A fire of determination was set ablaze in the boy's blue-green eyes, as he ambled his way towards you. Jean couldn't have been much prouder as he gave Eren a quick thumbs-up. He watched from afar as his shorter friend went to spit his game.
1st second of contact: Caught your attention.
Alriiight, getting somewhere.
6th second: He was speechless and red-faced. You looked confused.
Uh oh. Abort mission, Eren, abort mission.
18th second: Eren stomped back towards Jean.
He kneeled down quite a distance away from the ashy brown-haired male, tucking his head into his crossed arms to avoid his friend's questioning gaze. Jean side-stepped towards the obviously embarrassed Eren slowly. He kind of had an inkling about what just occurred, but decided to ask anyway.
"You didn't get it, did you.." Jean sweat-dropped.
Silence.
"Tell me you at least got her name...?"
More silence.
"Why did you even bother going over there?!" Jean yelled, arms spread out in incredulity.
"Shut up, idiot! You don't understand!" Eren yelled back, standing back up.
"She smiled at me, and... I dunno, my mind just went blank." He said softly. Jean put a comforting arm around his friend's shoulder.
"Eren, Eren, Eren..." Jean started, shaking his head. "I'd say I feel your pain, buuuuut...
I'd be lying."
"Thanks, horse-face..."
Extended ending:
"Yesterday that person... seemed a bit off," Mikasa thought, a bitter look on her face as she sat hunched over behind you. She honestly did not want you to encounter that weirdo again; after all, you were the nicest person she knows. That could get you in trouble one of these days.
Today was not the day.
"(f/n), can we ride an extra stop past the station? I want to buy something."
"Ahh, okay."
