"Papi, you're the only one still sleep. Wake up." You kept shaking Papi back and forth, trying to wake him up but the boy wouldn't budge. This wasn't the first attempt either. You came in this room banging on pans, blasting music from your portable speaker, and even got the other boys to try jumping on the bed he was sleeping.

Granted it was five in the morning but you guys needed to be on the road to Texas in less than an hour, so you could stay on schedule. You started to suck your teeth and give him five more minutes until you got an idea, that he might be mad at you for afterwards. You leaned closer to his ear and whisper. "Papi if you don't get up soon, Imma tell Sasha your little secret."

As if he just magically injected himself with ten pounds of coffee grounds, Papi quickly woke up from his slumber. "That's not even funny yo," he says rubbing his eyes and getting out of bed to get ready.

You giggle to yourself and walk out of the room. "What'd you say to him ?" Connie asked, a little blown away at how whispering could wake him up out of everything you guys tried that morning.

"Just a little secret," you responded with a smile still on your face.

Within ten minutes Papi, along with everyone else was in the car and ready to go. Connie said that he could drive for that day, since you seemed a little sleepy yourself. Before fully getting onto the road, you all stopped for some snacks that would last the ten hours you were doing that day.

Yup that's right. Ten whole hours. The longest road trip you guys have done together was eight hours but Jean and Eren almost tore each other apart by the end of it. It's fine though.

When Connie got onto the freeway, everyone ended up falling asleep. You were sipping on an energy drink so you were able to stay up with Connie. As usual. For a bit, the both of you sat in silence as you played music through aux.

"Just like old times huh ?" he finally spoke.

"Yeah we haven't had a road trip in a while," you responded. "Except this time I'm actually up while you drive."

He laughs, remembering how you always fell asleep whenever he took the wheel. "Yeah but you know you can go to sleep if you want ?"

"It's fine I like staying up with you," you smiled at him as you reiterate the words he said to you on the road trip you guys took before he left, all that time ago.

"Yeah ?"

You hummed in response as he put his focus back onto the road. You took this chance to get a real good look at Connie, something that you haven't done in a bit. For someone who woke up not too long ago, he looked really.. really.. good. His sleepy eyes combined with the slight spread of his legs and the soft little lip bites he would do whenever he made sure he was going the right way, was enough for you to pounce on him at that very moment. Of course you couldn't, given that you guys were in a car plus were just friends but still didn't take away from the fact that you wanted to.

He began to tap his fingers on the steering wheel as he continued to drive. Not much happened before everyone started to wake up about seven hours into the ride.

When everyone was up. you guys all had small talk, playing a little game of "who's most likely to."

"Okay okay. Who's most likely to have a baby first out of all of us ?" Sasha asked the car.

"Mikasa and Jean, without a doubt." The way you answered so quickly made everyone laugh.

"Yeah you two be fuckin' a LOT. For no reason," Connie added as you stretched your legs across his, that were pressing the pedals.

"No we don-" Jean tried to argue before Mikasa cut him off.

"We do."

"Yeah and the rest of us have to hear it. DisGUSTING," Eren blurted out. Sadly, since Eren had no love life at the moment, he was usually home whenever Mikasa and Jean would "do the deed."

"I got one. Who's most likely to have one of those sex rooms like in Fifty Shades ?" Papi asked nonchalantly looking down at his breakfast sandwich he was about to bite into.

Everyone in the car looked at him. "WHAT ?" Armin blurted out before everyone starts to crack up.

"Remind me to not watch that around you anymore," you laugh.

"You guys watched Fifty Shades together ?" Connie asked, slightly side-eyeing you.

"Well it was supposed to be a girls' night but Papi showed up so," Sasha shrugged.

Connie let out a small sigh of relief. "Okay so back to the question. I think it would be.. Armin." You turned around in your seat to look at the blonde whose cheeks were starting to turn red.

"ME ?"

"Oh yeah I can see it. You look like you're into some wild shit," Eren agreed. Part of you guys were joking but honestly knowing Armin for this long, there just had to be some sort of dark side.

"You guys are weird," Armin said nudging Eren's shoulder.

"My turn ! Most likely toooo.. skinny dip in the ocean," Sasha eyes narrowed and a bright grin crept onto her face.

You hung your head and sighed before anyone could answer. "Me," you grumbled.

"What's that (y/n) ? Couldn't hear ya'." Mikasa teased.

"I...skinny dipped.. in the ocean. But it was because I was high and we were already deep enough and it was night so nobody was there." You crossed your arms and sat back in your seat.

"When was this ?" Connie asked a little too frantically.

"Uh.. I dunno maybe when you guys were on tour," Sasha answered side eyeing him. "Okay it's your turn- OH LOOK." Sasha pointed at an exit. "Georgia !"

"Alright pull over," you tell Connie. He does as you say and pulls over after he gets off the exit. But instead of stopping like you intended, you ended up driving four more hours until you guys got to Alabama. Only then is when you guys decided to stop for the night.

You pulled up to the first hotel, wanting to rest a little. You guys get out, unloading some of your bags and checking in with the lobby. Everyone got their own separate room. Mikasa and Jean roomed together, though obviously.

You guys decided to just get room service for dinner that night and all discussed a time to meet up in the lobby. Connie walked you to your room, since you guys were only across the hall from each other before waving to you and turning in for the night.

As you would do any other night, you took a shower and slipped into something more comfortable and passed out. You eventually woke up when it was dark outside.

Afterwards, you went over to your bag to put your jewelry up until you came across Connie's necklace he gave you a bit ago. You stared at the amethyst, smiling at the shining crystal.

God I miss him, you thought to yourself. You looked around the room before your eyes landed on one of those hotel notepads that came with every room. " Okay one letter and I'll forget all about. Okay yeah. Good plan", you thought out loud.

You grabbed the pen and pad and began to write a little letter to Connie that you would rip up right after.

To Connie
From (y/n)

im never giving u this note like ever ever ever ever. but this is to get everything i feel out because ive been trying to not think about it.

i miss you a shit ton. like a lot. and i know that i said i just want to be friends for right now but its only because im scared LMAO. just like how i was before we dating.

im not really still hung up on the trixie thing anymore. its over and done and i believe everything you told me. but its just that every time i allow myself to be happier, it goes back to crap. you know.. like it did with us

i dont really blame you for it. it was pretty joint and i wish it didnt happen the way it did. at this point i understand that i have to keep us like this so i can ensure both of our happiness.

but thats really it. you are really REALLY fine though. so you know i do miss being able to.. you know but like guess that phase is over now-

Your writing got interrupted as you heard a knock on your door as you gazed at the alarm clock in the room, showing that it was almost eleven. You quickly tore the letter up and flushed it down the toilet on your way to the door.

You open it. "Connie ?"

Connie stood in front of you, his eyes damn near closed and a small stuffed frog in his hands. "Hey (y/n)."

"What can I help you with ?" you lean on the door way.

"Can I um, sleep in here. I'll take the floor. I just had weird dream and I don't really wanna be alone right now." He couldn't look at you as he explained. He was truly worried.

You sighed and stepped to the side to let him in. "What was the dream about," you ask closing the door.

"A lot. But when it was about to end, you disappeared. And I tried screaming to find you but nothing came out. Then I woke up," he muttered quietly.

"Well I'm here." You gave him a reassuring smile and took both of his hands in yours. "And I won't be disappearing anytime soon. Promise."

Without noticing, the two of you leaned closer to each other, him putting his hands on your hips. And just as you guys were about to seal the moment with a kiss, you quickly moved yourself. "I-I'm sorry, Connie. I shouldn't have even-"

"It's fine," he cut you off. "We should just get some sleep."

You slowly let go of his hands, even though you never wanted to and nodded. "Yeah. Goodnight Connie."
