The crisp scent of autumn air drifted through the open window, bringing a cool breeze that contrasted with the warmth inside the cozy kitchen. The draft swept in gently, a pleasant relief from the heat within.

Eren stood by the kitchen table while you sat across from him, which was cluttered with carving tools and newspapers spread across the surface to catch the messy remnants of pumpkin guts. Both of you were focused, cutting into the pumpkins and scooping out their slimy insides.

Suddenly, Eren paused, a sly grin tugging at the corners of his lips as an idea popped into his mind. Without warning, he grabbed a handful of pumpkin guts and flicked his hand forward. You barely had time to react before the cold, slimy mess splattered against your cheek, making you freeze in place.

"Oops..." Eren muttered, not even bothering to hide the smirk growing wider on his face. His teal green eyes sparkled with playful mischief as he casually returned to carving his pumpkin. "That was an accident."
