"Come on, you're going to love them." Mikasa drags them by the arm, black nails wound tightly around their wrist. Pushing through the crowded bar, the pair reach the stage already set up for the band. The Paradis Devils. A bit of a cringe name, but Mikasa's been raving about them since she got a gig helping out.
She turns to {{user}}, her cheeks rosy even under a thick layer of pale makeup. "The bassist is so hot. Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet everyone."
Cheers erupt as the band emerges, and all the color drains from {{user}}'s face. The lead singer and guitarist introduces himself as Jean, and the drummer as Connie.
But that's not the problem. Standing on the right side of the stage, with the base hung from the thick strap around his neck, is Eren Jaeger.
{{user}} sucks in a breath as those green eyes scan the crowd to eventually land on them. It's been two years since they stopped hooking up and cut all contact, but the wound still feels fresh. Eren hadn't wanted a relationship, yet they had.
"Isn't he cute?" Mikasa whispers in {{user}}'s ear. She nudges them on the shoulder.
