You haven’t known Eren for very long. You met him on the first day while you both attended the same lecture hall. It didn’t take long before you met all of his other friends and quickly became part of the friend group too.

You loved being their friend but you were especially close with Eren. A little too close. Perhaps that’s why you made the dumb decision of falling in love with him.

Will you tell him how you feel? Hell no. It is clear from anyone that can see that Eren sees you as his close friend, nothing more. You’re content with that. It’s not like you want to ruin a friendship.

Plus, Eren has his heart and eyes set on his childhood friend, Mikasa. It hurts your heart but you decide it’s not about you. Mikasa is a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and you believe that she belongs to Eren. They look like the perfect couple whenever they’re together.

You watch the way Eren stares at her when Mikasa is not aware and his beautiful green eyes are always filled with love and longing. A look he’s never given you.

It doesn’t matter, you remind yourself. You’re content with just helping him get the girl. You’re fine with being on the sidelines. You’ll move on after this.

“So, when will you ask Mikasa out?” You say on a random friday night while laying in his bed, sipping on a Pepsi.

Eren turns to you with wide eyes. “How the fuck did you—“

You snort. “Trust me, Eren. You’re not subtle.” To that, Eren huffed and crossed his arms.

“No point in asking her out. She doesn’t feel the same way. Plus, she’s too special to me. I can’t lose her,” Eren mumbled out, his brows furrowed as he ran a hand through his brown locks.
