After a couple weeks of chatting with Eren, you and him decided to find his adoptive sister, Mikasa Ackerman. You tried and tracked her down as much as possible... Finding a possible location.

You and Eren decided to meet up at a nearby park so you both can find Mikasa. "Ugh... Where is he?" You asked yourself as you looked at the time. You both agreed to meet at 12 in the afternoon, but it seemed that Eren was going to be late.

"(y/n)!" You turned and heard Eren voice, but something was wrong. His voice seemed scratchy and weak. When he approached you, he starts to pant heavily. "Hey, sorry I'm late, (y/n)..."

"Are you sick?" You ask him.

He nods his head, "For some reason... I caught the flu or something..."

"You shouldn't be here!"

Eren manages to give a weak laugh, "Oh, (y/n)... You should know me... If it's Mikasa or Armin... I would love to meet them first. After all, they kinda hate humans... After how we've been treated. Seeing me would allow you to talk to them easier, (y/n)."

"I know... But you're sick..."

His eyes still gleamed with happiness and manages to smile. "Don't worry about me, (y/n)... I'll be fine..."

"No, you're not fine!" You're suddenly overwhelmed with anger. "You need to sleep! Get some rest and heal!"

"No... I rather not..."

"Then, I'm taking you to my apartment... That way, I can make sure that you're healing well."

"N-now now... It's fine..."

You take his arm and drag him back to the bus stop. "Don't say that... You're tempting me to take care of you even more."

You and Eren arrived at your apartment. When you unlocked the door and allowed Eren inside, he collapses onto the couch and almost falls asleep.

You laugh, "That's adorable, Eren..."

He opens his eyes and smiles, "Adorable? I'm everything but adorable..."

"I may have some clothes that my brother brought over a couple weeks ago... I think they will fit you perfectly."

"In other words, you want me to shower, right?" He asks, getting off the couch.

You nod your head, "Of course. Now go. There should be a spare towel hanging there, along with soap and everything else under the sink."

"(y/n), you should know that cats hate water."

"And I hate people questioning. We're both on equal terms."

"Okay, okay... You win..." Eren stands up and kisses your forehead, "I'm going now..." He walks over to the bathroom, hearing the door click as he went inside.

What surprised you was him kissing your forehead... Was that only because he was playing with you, as every cat does? Or did he actually have feelings for you?

In the meantime, you decided to order pizza, with extra meat on the side for Eren. While the pizza was on it's way, Eren shouts from inside the bathroom, "Uh... (y/n)... Where's your brother's clothes?"

"Sorry!" You shout, rushing to the closet. How could you forget to get him your brother's spare clothes? Too busy with the pizza and about Eren kissing your forehead... "I'm so sorry about that..." You say as you came to the bathroom. "Here..."

Eren opens the door and curiosity took over you. You peaked in to see Eren wearing a towel around his waist and his ears wet. They were flat, but not pulled back. Behind him was a long, dark brown tail with its fur wet. Eren didn't seem to mind you staring at his tail as it flicked back and forth.

"Hehe... That's my tail..." He says as he looks at it. "It's difficult to control, like it has a mind of its own..."

"O-oh..." You hand Eren his clothes. "C-can I feel your tail when you dry it off?"

He nods, "Of course. Now... Can I get some privacy as I change?"

Your face turns bright red as you realize that he only has a towel. "S-Sorry... My bad..."

"Heh, it's okay." He says as he closes the door.

At that time, the pizza arrive and Eren came out the bathroom in his newly changed clothes. He wore gray sweatpants and long-sleeved blue shirt. His ears were a bit damp as well as his tail, but otherwise, they were normal

"Pizza's here..." You say nervously as he approached you. "I-I got extra meat for you..."

"Thanks... (y/n)..." He takes a plate and takes a slice of pizza. "You didn't have to."

"I had to... You're gonna stay here until you get better."

"My sickness is only a simple cold, that's it."

"That won't help me... Just eat and we can talk afterwards... Okay?"

He nods, his ears perked up and wiggled. "Okay." You giggle at how adorable his ears were. "What's so funny?"

"Your ears..."

"Oh... Like this?"

He wiggles them again, "Yeah..."

"It's pretty easy to make them move, but hard to control when your emotions overcomes you."

"Really?"

He nods, "Yeah... Whenever I get angry, which is almost all the time, my ears instinctively draws back."

"Well, that's hard to hide feelings if your ears does that..."

"Hehe... It is... Thanks again for the pizza."

"You're welcome, Eren..."

After dinner, Eren helped you was the dishes. While he did that, you couldn't help but notice his tail swaying back and forth. The urge to touch it overcomes you and you did it.

"Gah!" Eren shouts as you touched his tail.

"Sorry!" You shout back... His tail was warm and a bit damp, but it was weird in a way. It didn't feel natural, but it was. "I didn't mean to..." You apologize to him, but he smiles and laughs at you. "What's so funny?!"

"It's fine, you just startled me. If only you know how it feels like to be a cat..."

"I would love to feel that feeling... But I'm a human... I can't feel what it feels like..."

"I know, (y/n)... I only wish you could."

You sighed and then gently push him, "You need to get some rest, Eren..." You walk over to the closet and pulled out a blanket. "If you want, you can sleep in my bed-"

"The couch's fine, (y/n). You can sleep in your bed..."

"You sure?

He nods, "I'm fine, (y/n)... No need to worry about a kitty like me!"

You both laugh at the joke, he acts childishly, but all in all, he was a childish cat. You hand him the blanket, "Goodnight, Eren..."

"Goodnight..." He says before you turned off the light. As you did, you could've sworn that you heard purring noises. As you went close to Eren, who was now sleeping, the noises got louder. Leaning your head close to him, the purrs were definitely coming from him. You smiled at him, a childish cat... With little cat problems...
