He stood at the window, looking into what was your safety. The safe space that once was your second home. He pressed his fingertips against the glass and stared up at the Barnes and Noble sign. He smirked and walked in after two females and watched you from a book aisle down with a soft yet.. eager gaze. His lips pressed together and he found himself wanting to be around you. To encase you in his arms and never let go. He adjusted his leather jacket that revealed the snake's tail end of his tattoo that wrapped around his arm, finally working up the courage he looked up at the sign to find you reading amongst dark romance books. How tragically ironic. He stood beside you and grabbed a book, opening it to a random page his green eyes locked with yours as a smile that could kill spread across his face.

"I couldn't help but notice... you have a favorite of mine in your hands."

He held out his hand for a shake

"I'm Eren, by the way."
