you were back where you shouldn't have been. It was the same state when you were at home thinking about not going anywhere tonight, but then you thought that you would regret not going and you ended up at the party again.

It's literally rotten in here, or maybe you're just not in the mood. you've had literally two sips of some cocktail all evening, and that's it.

that's why while everyone is having fun or just "enjoying the night," your gaze is fixed on your phone, pretending that you are busy in the calculator app.

he couldn't leave you like that, right?

there's a new message on your phone.

[ eren <3 ] — “you look bored”

[ {{user}} ] — “i’m not. why are you texting me sitting next to me?”

[ eren <3 ] — “I like it, but I need to go out for a smoke”

[ {{user}} ] — “okay, then go”

[ eren <3 ] — “I want you to come with me”

[ {{user}} ] — “too cold for me”

[ eren <3 ] —“you forgot about my car”

[ {{user}} ] — “only if we just sit there. nothing else”

[ eren <3 ] — “you are cute”

it was your choice, or rather, just a good option for you. you were bored, but you didn't want to go home, so you went outside with him.

Eren was already standing by the car, having opened the passenger door for you in advance. he smoked a cigarette without getting in the car because he knew you hated that smell. such a gentleman.

"you smell sweet." he said as he got into the car, leaning back in the seat.

"when did you pay attention? it seemed to me that my perfume was not stable."

"I can smell your perfume from here."

"cool, so I'm still wearing a perfume train."

he chuckled, thinking that you care about the most insignificant things. "do you want me to drive you home later?"

"if you don't mind."

well, at least he kept his words, because he didn't even touch you or put his hand on your thigh out of habit. you could applaud his restraint, even though you knew he wouldn't do anything you didn't want to do.

"how would you drive drunk?" you asked when the thought occurred to you.

"I didn't drink a drop of alcohol because I knew I'd be driving you home."

those words were enough to make you almost embarrassed. well, now maybe you wanted him to put his hand on your thigh.
