"You aren't my daughter," my mother yells at my face.

"But mommy..." my current self reaches for her.

Her new husband grabs her and forces her to walk away. Before she disappears from my view, she turns around.

"I divorced your dad because of you. It's your fault," she says.

She disappears from view. I hold on to my hair, tugging on it hard.

"MOM!"

I walk up panting. I feel a tear drop from my cheek to my neck. I look down and see I'm dressed. It's not my clothes. It's still dark. I look around the room and realize where I am. I guess I passed out after I came. I look at Eren's alarm clock and I see it's 3:45 am. I rub my eyes and get out of the bed, my legs slightly aching. I ignore it and walk out his room. When I exit, I see him sitting at his island looking down at some papers. He hears the door open and turns around seeing me standing there.

"Why are you awake?" He gets up from his seat and walks towards me.

I bite my lip to stop myself from crying again. I think he can tell because he ticks my hair behind my ear.

"Nightmare?" He asks me.

I nod and bring my hand up to wipe my tears again. Suddenly I feel myself getting picked up. Eren takes me back in the room and closes the door behind him. He lays me down on the bed gently. He gets up and I grab his hand instinctively. I look up at him with fear in my eyes.

"Please don't leave me," I say.

He comes closer to me, wiping my tears with his fingers. "I wasn't gonna leave, I was just going to grab another blanket."

He grabs a blanket from a bin under his desk and comes back up with me. He lays down next to me and pulls me close to him. My face is in his chest. He runs his hand up and down my back.

"What was your nightmare?" He asks me.

"Spiders," I lie.

He tightens his grip on me. "Rin..." he says warningly.

Should I tell him? I mean there's no point in lying anymore I guess.

"My mom," I say. "It was about her leaving."

"She said," I grab on to Erens shirt and bunch it tightly. "She said it was my fault they separated, my parents."

My voice cracks. But Eren doesn't stop running his hand up and down from my head to my lower back.

"Hmm," he says.

I can't see his face right now so I don't know how he reacted to that. He probably doesn't even care. Damn it. I push him away and turn around.

"Sorry, you can go back to whatever you were doing. I'm fine now," I say.

I hear him sigh. I turn around to face him. "Just go-"

I get cut off by Eren pulling me back towards him. He looks down at my face.

"You misread things so much, it's annoying," he says.

"But-"

"Just shut up," he interrupts me again.

Instead of arguing, I willingly relax in his grip. My body is exhausted. I haven't been able to get a good nights rest in a while. Erens long fingers start to massage my body.

"Just go to sleep, I won't leave," he says.

"You swear?" I say looking up at him.

He looks down with a kind look. "Yes."

My heart automatically relaxes and I let myself get drifted back to sleep by Eren.

I wake up from the sun shining through the blinds. My eyes flutter open and I turn to the side. Eren is lying down, asleep, next to me. His hair is down. I feel bad. I made him sleep next to me when he was doing work. I should make breakfast, since it seems like he doesn't cook much. I get up slowly to make sure he doesn't wake up. I'm only wearing Eren's shirt with nothing underneath. At least it's long enough. I walk to the kitchen and open his pantry. He has bread eggs and milk. I guess I could make French toast. I mix the ingredients together, making sure to add cinnamon. I should probably make some eggs as well. I grab out another pan and start making a few eggs for us.

"What are you doing?" Eren's voice rings through the kitchen.

I turn around and see him rubbing his eyes, still waking up.

"Sit at the table, I made you some breakfast," I say.

Surprisingly, he obeys and sits down. I plate the eggs and French toast for both of us before taking it to the table. I hand him his plate and I notice his eyes go wide. He licks his lips before digging into his food. I guess he hasn't had a real home meal like this in a while. I grab some honey and drizzle it on my French toast. Taking a bite, my stomach automatically drops grumbling. It's pretty good. I finish my food and look over at Eren.

"You still hungry?" I ask him. "There's mor-"

I get cut off by Eren kissing me. My eyes go wide but I relax after a few moments. His tongue slips into my mouth exploring it. We finally pull away for air and I rest my forehead on his.

"What was that for?" I ask him confused.

He chuckles. "I don't really know, I just felt like it."

For some reason, I get butterflies. I swat him away and stand up.

"I'll get more French toast for you," I excuse myself and walk to the stove to grab more.
