After Mikasa helped me pick out my clothes I hopped in the shower and got myself cleaned up before getting changed. When my hair dried she helped me manage it. Man, I didn't even know my hair could look this nice. Who knew you were supposed to brush it every day and not just once a week.

I looked in the mirror and didn't even recognize myself. Man do I clean up good. Levi will surely be impressed. After I was done looking in the mirror I made sure to thank Mikasa.

Before I took her home she asked me if she should text me and see if the date was going good or bad so she could send a bailout text. I told that I didn't think it was necessary but better safe than sorry.

Since we were meeting at 7:00 she would text me at 7:20 to see if I needed a reason to leave. She would send a message with something urgent. I would either message back with an urgent reply if I needed it or send her a thumbs up if I didn't. I told her that if an emergency happened while I wasn't there to call me and that's how I would know it's real. God, I love my sister. She made me attractive for once, and now she's looking out for me. Best sister ever that's for sure.

I dropped Mikasa off at dads and told her to call if she needed anything. When I was sure she was okay and had everything she needed for the night I started heading to the restaurant a few minutes earlier than I had planned to. I wanted to stop by later tonight and check in on her, but I didn't know how late I would be out so I made no promises to do so.

I decided to take an uber since I had used up most of my gas and didn't have time to hit a gas station. I arrived a few minutes earlier than Eren had planned, but as I was getting out of my uber I saw Eren walking up to the restaurant. At least I think that's Eren. I walked up and sure enough, it was him. "Hey there," I greeted walking up next to him.

"Oh hi," he smiled. I think I scared him a little since he jumped. His voice even had that awkward tone to it. God is he always going to be awkward around me.

"You look really nice," in more areas than one. HIs clothes matched and his hair looked brushed. His pants even hugged his ass nicely... Stop it, you're staring.

"Thanks my- um I uh, thanks. You-uh-you look great too," he stumbled as he spoke. I just gave him a smile as the host walked up and lead us to a table.

We sat down and I actually got to look around for a moment. This place is fancy, Eren must have put in a reservation especially with how packed this place is. He chose a great restaurant. I've heard a lot of good things about this place, but never actually had time to come and check it out for myself. It wasn't the type of place where you go alone, and I definitely wasn't going to go with Hanji and her girlfriend when they invited me. I don't like being a third wheel especially not in public.

We started off talking about our days. I told him I ran errands all day and he told me he just spent the day at home. Next, we continued learning more about each other. We asked the questions we never got to on the first date. Some were more personal and others were silly.

"I think we both looked at the same website for questions to ask on a date," Eren finally laughed when I asked a question he must have recognized.

"Guess so," I laughed. "We might as well play twenty questions," I mean it's practically what we are doing anyway.

"But more than twenty questions."

"Of course. You go first," I said and I watched him think really hard to try and remember a question.

I think he ended up panicking and saying the first thing that came to mind because he asked me, "favorite color?" and then proceeded to roll his eyes at his own words.

"It's white," I shrugged answering the question anyway and decided to show him it wasn't that stupid of a question by asking him for his. "What's yours?"

"Mine? It's blue," he said quietly.

"Nice, well it's your turn again."

"You can go again, I'm having trouble remembering the questions," he admitted with an awkward laugh.

"Okay." Hmm, I thought for a minute. I could remember a few questions but I wanted to ask a simple one. "What's the silliest fear you have?"

"Oh, I get scared that people can read minds. I know it's silly but it is a fear," he laughed.

"I knew you'd say that" I made my voice sound very suspicious before laughing.

His eyes widened for a moment with pretend fear before laughing along with me. "Oh, I got one, what is your dream job?"

"That's a good one," I thought for a moment. "I guess my dream job would be an author."

"You write?" he asked me as a follow-up question.

"Here and there but I never usually have enough time to get anywhere with my writings. How about you what would be your dream job?"

"My dream job would be something to do with children. Maybe working in childcare."

"Why don't you apply for a job at one?" My turn for a follow-up question.

"As much as I'd love to, they don't pay enough. I used to work at one, but I had to switch to a job that paid more when I moved out," He shrugged.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." The tone of voice in which he said that in. He must have really loved his job. I can't help but feel bad now. No wonder his eyes lit up when I told him I was a teacher. He genuinely thought it was a cool job and all I did was complain about it.

"Anyways, do you have any siblings?" Eren asked continuing on with the questions.

"Nope, I'm an only child," I gave him a smile. "What about you do you have any siblings?"

"Yeah, I have a younger sister." Oh, I didn't expect him to say yes. He seems like one of those kids who was an only child to me, but it seems like I was wrong.

"What do you do to unwind after a long day?"

That's a good question, "I guess normally I read but occasionally if the day was really stressful I'll pour myself a cup of wine and call my friend and see if she's up for a movie night, that is if she's not already at my house," I shrugged. I don't think he needs to know that my best friend regularly breaks into my house because she's insane.

"Sounds peaceful. Movie nights are always relaxing," he smiled almost as if he was thinking of something.

"What wrong assumptions do people normally make about you?" I asked and he just laughed.

"Well, most people think I'm straight. Even my best friend who I've known for years thought all this time I was straight," he could hardly get his words out before laughing again.

"Really? Because you seem pretty obviously gay to me. You did yell out in the middle of the grocery store that I was hot," I laughed with him.

"I know right. It's not like I try to hide it or anything. I would even talk to my friend about celebrities who I thought were hot, all dudes and he never knew," his laugh rang out again.

Watching him laugh so happily I felt a smile spread over my face and a warm feeling in my chest. He was quite a sight. His eyes as they teared up from laughing so hard. The way his smile turned into such a joyful laugh. This time his hands instead of blocking his face remained down so I could see him and all his beauty. When he calmed down I diverted my eyes since last time he seemed to get embarrassed.

"Sorry, anyways um, are you a morning person or a night owl?" He finally asked after taking a calming breath.

"I think I'm more of a night owl. Well, that is when I don't have to go to bed early for work in the morning. When I have days off I usually spend the nights writing or reading." I never even thought about that till now. I guess I never realized how much stuff I got done after the sun went down.

"What about you?"

"I'm neither a morning person or a night owl. When I wake up it's usually later in the morning unless my mind decides to wake me up outrageously early with no warning or reason. I try to go to bed at a timely hour or else I'm yawning my head off all night whether I'm tired or not," he shrugged.

"That sounds rough."

"I know my life is just so hard," he said sarcastically before clearing his throat to ask another question.

"What do you think is the most important part of a friendship," he asked and I stopped dead in my tracks. That was a deep question and it was going to take some thinking.

"Well," I paused before figuring out what was most important to me, "I think that trust is the most important part to have in a friendship. You should be able to trust your friends with a multitude of things: your secrets, your insecurities, your mistakes, your accomplishments, etc... If you can't trust them then are they really your friend?"

Eren just froze and a smile slowly came over his face, "that was deep, but I completely agree."

Eren's phone went off and he apologized before pulling it out for a quick moment and sending back a quick message and putting it away. "Sorry, my sister texted me."

"That's okay. Do you have any hobbies?"

He gave me an embarrassed smile. "Video games and comic books," I knew he was awkward, but he's a full blown nerd.

"Well, it's reading," I laughed. Even if it's mild reading it's still reading besides I like my fair share of comic books. "How did you meet your best friend?"

"Oh, this is a good one. I meet my friend Jean back in middle school. I tripped over his backpack and called him a dumbass and he called me a clumsy fucker and we've been friends ever since," he laughed. "Sounds odd, but that's just how our friendship is." He shrugged it off and laughed before asking me how I met my friend.

"Well, I've known Hanji since we were kids I can't really remember a time before her. She lived next door to me when I was growing up. She was my safe zone, still is. When things go bad I can always go to her and things just seem to magically fix. We became friends one day when we were both outside. She came out walked right up to me introduced herself and said were friends now and from that day we were. She's annoying and obnoxious but I love her to death... I'll never tell her that though." Our food came as I was answering that question. The rest of the dinner was peaceful.

When the bill came I saw Levi pull out his wallet and I spoke up, "I was gonna pay since I invited you on this date. Besides you paid for the last date," I laughed as I pulled out my wallet.

"Okay, there's a difference between $7 dollars for coffee and $64." He rolled his eyes and insisted on helping.

"Fine if you want to pay for something you can pay the tip," I said as a compromise.

"Fair enough," he said and placed a $20 on the table. Show off 13 dollars would be a little over 20 percent.

I didn't say anything and paid the bill. As we were walking out I felt a little sad that we already had to part ways I wanted to spend more time with him. I was genuinely happy getting to know him and spending time with him made me happy it made me forget about the bad stuff happening right now and focus on the good.

I think he was thinking the same thing because he looked at me as we were walking out and told me we should do this again real soon. He had looked down at his phone and told me he had ubered here so he had to order and uber.

"Hey um, do you uh, you wanna catch a movie?" I asked nervously.

I watched as his lips twitched upwards and a smile crept onto his face. "I'd love that, on one condition. I pay."

I rolled my eyes playfully before agreeing to his condition. "Fine, only because you're so determined," I smiled and we walked out to my car and headed to the movies. I told him to look one up as I headed to the theater.

At the beginning of the movie, his hand reached for mine and we spent the whole movie hand in hand. It was nice even tho I hardly paid attention to the movie. I mostly focused on Levi and how when the screen lit up I could see his gorgeous face.

When the movie ended I had to face the facts it was time for us to part ways.

However, I did offer to take him home so he didn't have to uber. He happily took me up on my offer and I drove him home. When we arrived at his house before he got out I wanted so desperately to lean in and close the gaps between our lips but, I was too nervous to do so.

He must have read my mind because the next thing I know his lips are on mine. It was a small passionate goodnight kiss but even after he pulled away I could still feel his lips on mine.

"Thanks for the amazing night," he leaned in and whispered in my ear before sliding out of the car and walking up to his door. I was still frozen in shock from the kiss.

When I finally snapped out of my trance I rolled down my window and told him "I'll text you." It sounded so stupid how I stuttered nervously. I'll text him um obviously that was a given why did I need to roll down my window to tell that to him.

"I'll be waiting," he said back before disappearing into the house.

I drove away and headed home all with the feeling of his lips still on mine. I can't wait to see him again.
