Eren and I stared at each other for a good 5 seconds before looking away from each other. After going around the circle and saying my hi's to the people I needed to, I took a seat next to Jean.

"You actually dressed nice, what's the occasion? Trying to impress someone?", said Jean.

"Nope just felt like wearing something different, you know?"

I glanced up to see who had a blunt, once again meeting Eren's gaze. I wasn't too far from Eren, only about 3 chairs down. I patiently waited for it to be my turn. Eventually it was my turn, and I took a hit. I took more than 1 actually, today was starting to become a little stressful. After I was done hitting the blunt I passed it to Jean.

"Jeez y/n. Have a bad day or something? I've never seen you take so many hits in just a minute." asked Jean.

"No Jean, today's been fine. I just wanted to smoke was all." I replied.

"Mhm, sure." Jean replied.

As we all smoked in the circle, I would notice Eren gazing at me from time to time. I took the blanket on the chair and covered myself, it was starting to get a little chilly anyway. We all continued smoking, with my occasional meeting of gaze with Eren. Eventually we smoked the entire thing. I was already high out of my mind not needing a second blunt. I was chill when I was high, but I also wasn't afraid to voice anything that was on my mind. I needed to be careful what I was thinking about, and Eren's gaze wasn't helping the situation any. At some point, I just started talking about random stuff. When I was high I was way more sociable, easier to talk to since I was less tense. Most people enjoyed me while I was high, since I wasn't a complete asshole, I guess. I talked with Jean and a few other people about who knows what.

Somewhere between talking with them, I got up and left to go get a drink. I went into the kitchen and made my way to the drinks. I stuck with a water, not wanting to mix alcohol into the situation. As I was about to walk outside, back to the smoke circle someone grabbed my wrist. I turned my gaze, only to be met with Eren.

What was his deal and grabbing my wrist?

I patiently waited for him to say something, as to explain why the hell he was holding my wrist. He just stood there and stared at me, saying nothing.

"Are you going to say something, or are you just gonna stand there acting like you just saw a ghost?" I asked.

"Just wanted to talk is all."

"Sure that's what you said last time and it was barely even a conversation."

He raised his eyebrow and then put his head down and shook it, slightly grinning.

What the hell was funny?

"What? Are you just gonna stand there with that shitty grin on your face saying nothing?"

"Sorry, I just wanted to properly apologize unlike last time. You are right my last apology, wasn't even much of an apology. I owe you an actual apology." said Eren.

I must be high. Eren Jaeger apologizing? In what kind of world?

"I'm sorry I didn't quite hear you."

Truth was I just wanted to boost my own ego, and he was feeding into it.

"I said I'm sorry."

"For? you have to be specific."

"Uh I don't know getting you expelled, constantly annoying you. I don't really know I'm just sorry."

There's no way he's saying this all by himself. Did Armin put him up to this shit?

"Ok.. is that all?"

"Eh not really, just so you know whenever I was throwing that milk carton I wasn't aiming for you."

Who was he aiming for then?

Eren saw the confused look on my face and decided to carry on with what he was about to say.

"I wasn't aiming for you, I was aiming for Jean."

"Why?"

"I don't need a reason to dump milk all over your little boyfriend y/n."

Just when I thought the teasing and slick remarks were over he says that shit.

"You know, I think you're one of the few people to fuck up and apologize to me within the same conversation."

Eren raised his eyebrow, not getting what I was saying.

"You called me Jean's girlfriend and apologized before that."

"Oh, well it's not really considered fucking up if it's correct right?"

"You're not right though. Jean and me have never dated, and aren't going to anytime soon."

"Makes more sense I don't know what guy allows his girlfriend to come to a party dressed like a whor-"

I slapped him straight in his face before he could even finish his sentence. Him calling me a whore? he didn't have the right. I sat there tears welding in my eyes, trying to calm myself before I spoke.

"You don't have the right to ever talk to me that way. I dress how I want, and how I dress shouldn't concern you."

He just stood there holding his cheek, staring at the floor wide eyed. I guess he wasn't expecting me to actually hit him. I wasn't in anger management for no reason, after all.

"Don't ever think about disrespecting me again Jaeger, or next time you'll end up with more than a damn hand print on your cheek."

With that I went back outside to the smoke circle and said my goodbyes. Jean looked at me confused as to why I was leaving so early, to which I just told him that I wasn't feeling good. I made my way back through the house to the exit, passing Eren along the way. He was still holding his cheek but this time his gaze wasn't on the floor, it was on me. His gaze was blank, a little hurt behind it. I didn't care how he was feeling, did he bother to care how I felt all those other times? no. We held each others gaze for a while. The tension in the room was thick, anyone could feel it. I wasn't in the mood to stand here for another minute while in the same room with him. I shifted my gaze ahead the exit and made my way out the house.
