✿•˖*...YOUR GAZE THAT FELL UPON EREN never shifted away. you had mixed feelings of being annoyed that out of all the seats he could've chosen he decided to sit next to you and other feelings of being confused that he actually chose to sit next to you.

you sealed your eyes closed for a short period of time and slowly turned your attention back to your sketch notebook, exhaling a slow and tired sigh through your nostrils. maybe pretending that he isn't sitting right next to you would make him physically disappear.

but that was obviously pointless when he still didn't get up from his seat the more you ignored his presence. he just rummaged in his bag to pull out his own set of headphones that was just like yours but in the color white and his phone out of his pocket.

eren's head was down and his eyes were glued to his phone which meant his attention wasn't a hundred percent on you anymore. you took the chance to take a look at him sneakingly in the corner of your eye. admittedly, his side profile was perfect in your view.

the way his jaw was so well structured, you wondered how much gum a day he chewed to get it to look like that. you noticed how long his lashes were when he batted them every 10 seconds. his green eyes shifting from song title to song title on his screen, you observed it all.

your eyes teared away from looking at eren and it went right back to your notebook. he was cute, sorta. and you wanted to gag for admitting it. but he wasn't your significant type. eren being seated right next to you without talking to him was so awkward. literally why would he sit here is what you kept questioning yourself over and over again.

the left side of your face was resting on your hand after you propped your elbow up on the arm rest of the auditorium chairs. your head was sort of titled down as you kept your focus on your sketch, which gave eren his chance to look at you too.

he knew you were staring at him anyways. so why not do the same and observe your pretty features. he looked at you in the corner of his eyes just like you did, sneakingly. the first thing that caught his eye was your ear piercings. his eyes were on your hoops then to your two ear lobes all the way up to your industrial.

piercings on girls was eren's number one piercings as well as tattoos. that's when a small smirk appeared on his face when he noticed the inked drawing right behind your ear that went down your neck. he wondered if you had anymore other tattoos underneath all your baggy clothing.

another thing that made you attractive to him. your style. the way you dressed today and yesterday when he saw you was enough to say that your closet was definitely valid.

eren observed the way your tatted fingers pushed back your glasses that were sliding down to the tip of your nose. the same tatted fingers were decorated with rings. from his not so loud, blaring headphones he could hear your bracelets make that satisfying bling bling sound.

you felt eren's eyes piercing on you, he was looking at you. you quickly remembered who you were,
tossing allat awkward shit out the window and boldly turned your head a little to at him. you slowly batted your long lashes at him while your knuckles pressed on your cheeks to hold your head up still.

the two of you stared at each other without saying a single word. your face was resting calmly but it was screaming bitchy. what made you almost roll your eyes next was when eren only cracked a smile while pulling his headphones down to his neck then waving at you.

what could he possibly be so smiley about....

you blinked at eren and turned your head to look back down at your page, not even bothering to return that same cheery smile and wave. you probably thought you hurt his feelings with that move right there. but nah, that same move made him more interested in talking to you.

so strange. just from the energy this man had right now, especially towards you, you figured that he wanted to talk to you. sucks for him, he wasn't gonna get a peep outta you.

you hated socializing at this school specifically and people who tried socializing with you when it was easy to tell that you didn't want to be bothered? yeah you hated them even more.

but the one person that you wished would socialize with you the way every bastard in this school annoyingly do, was niko verde.

niko verde was probably the only guy in the entire school that you would probably found dreamily attractive. he didn't know who you were. quite frankly, he didn't even know you existed. sometimes you didn't mind being lowkey about being interested in him but other times, you wish that y'all could just talk.

speaking of the devil.

your head rose up and your eyes darted to the auditorium doors when it swung open. forgetting for a split second that eren was sitting right next to you, a smile that eren has yet to see come from you was painted across your face. you smiled wide enough for eren to see your black smiley piercing.

he turned his head and saw niko walking down the stairs of the auditorium, dapping up and exchanging handshakes with anyone that he knew in this selective art class. eren looked back at you and back at niko and realized that niko was the reason why you shadowy eyes lit up like a spark.

"you're into him?" eren managed to blurt out after long, long minutes of the two of you not saying a single word to each other besides exchanging a few secret glances. your smile faded after hearing eren speak to you.

"what?" you only said. eren turned his phone off and slightly turned his body to face you. you didn't have to deny it because he knew. niko was an attractive man and eren could confess proudly about that. so it wouldn't be a surprise that you found him attractive just like the 100 other girls in this school did.

"you're into niko verdes," eren repeated himself again with a toothy grin. you stared at eren unblinkingly and didn't know what to say. no shit you were into him but eren doesn't need to know that.

"no i'm not," you lied through your teeth and that only made eren chuckle 'cause he already knew. you watched him shake his head slowly at how awfully you tried to deny your interest in niko.

"yes you are. i haven't seen you smile since i've sat next to you and the one time you do is when niko walks in? dude, you're into him," eren explained. you wanted to kick his shin the way he was lowkey spot on about his explanation.

you didn't say nothing to him and that already gave him the go that he was right. but the way he was sharply sucking in his breath as if he had troubling bad news made your brow arch, "what?" you asked.

he hummed and muttered 'oh' as if he "forgotten" that you were seated right next to him when he breathed like that, "i mean...ion wanna be that guy but i might have to be that guy...you don't wanna be with him."

"why? what's wrong with him?" you were interested in knowing what could possibly be an ick about niko. in your eyes there was no flaws but that's just the gist of having a crush on someone that you barely know and see only twice every day.

"honestly bruh, ion think niko's even your type and ion think your his type either,"  he said it with full honesty and confidence, almost believing him. but then again, that right there made your head cock to the side 'cause who the fuck?

"not my type? what're you trying to say?" you grew defensive and eren could feel how tense you were getting just from the sound of your sketch notebook being slammed shut, "you don't even know me."

"i know that i don't know you. do i want to?" eren said in a questioning tone, his shoulders shrugging up and his hands being stuck out in front of him. the absence in his speaking was giving you an indication that he did want to get to know you.

you just stayed silent and stared at him with a straight face, "but that's besides the point. listen, he's a popular, loud and an asshole," eren started to explain to you. he was calm despite the way your nails were drumming against the cover of your sketchbook.

"so basically, you?" you tilted your head to the side and pointed at him, your bottom lip poking out after you spoke. you held back the urge to laugh when you saw he quick his facial expression shifted. he looked offended on his end.

"erm..." he began to laugh but it was obviously sarcastic, "not...not me, i'd like to say i'm the better version of niko, thanks," he objected and faked a smile back at you making you almost roll your eyes at his luh attitude.

"oh and he's feisty?" you joked and you could've sworn eren's flushed a tint of light pink in the cheeks. eren shook his head and jumped right back to the point he was making before your comments about him, "you're not an asshole, you're nothing like him."

"but i can be an asshole and right now, you're getting on my nerves," you uttered with a dramatic eye roll and a hand to his face when eren dramatically clenched his shirt as if you stabbed his heart and mumbled a soft 'ouch'.

but your comment wasn't gonna make eren back down that easily, "it's not that your ugly, 'cause you're not," said eren, "it's just not worth it."

you blinked at eren feeling a little stunned, annoyed just a little as well. no seriously, where did he come from and why did he felt the need to care? but you also felt appreciated because whether he knew you or not, he didn't want to make you look dumb. ironic.

"okay, alright," you rose your hands up as if you were in defense, "but you're gonna have to gimme a lil story time on the things he did that makes him a red flag or something," you told eren, not looking at him too closely to know that he was grinning from ear to ear over the fact that he actually managed to talk to you.

"you wanna talk to me?" he said in a fake shocking manner. you sucked your teeth and side eyed him that he just had to say something like that. you opened your sketch notebook right back up and pointed your acrylic finger in the direction of his face.

"don't push yo' luck sir."
