"Eren you know this will be the best senior prank of all time right?"

"Yeah I know Reiner, well it better be"

"Well anyway lets get to the juicy stuff, when are you going to tell her about your feelings?"

"Who?"

"Stop acting dumb Yaeger, you know who I'm talking about" Reiner says as he has Eren in a head lock messing Erens hair up with his free hand.

"Ahh stop... if you must know I'm going to declare my undying love to your dog after graduation" Eren says sarcastically.

"Yeah yeah, I know you'll get her Eren, granduation isn't to far away" Reiner replies releasing the smaller and slightly younger teen. Eren and Reiner make their way through the school campus heading to the car park. Eren head's over to his dark green 80 series Toyota Landcruiser opens the door and hops in. He puts his foot on the clutch turns over the ignition put the car into reverse and pulls away. Being a big car Eren has to take extra care and drive very slow in small confined car parks such as this. A few freshmen walk out in front of his car so he just slams on his horn for shits and giggles and he closes his eyes and shakes his head as he laughs at their faces, a small grim forming on his face. As he opens his eyes his smile goes away, what Eren behold's before him shakes his soul.

Through his window Eren watches Mikasa Ackerman, the woman he love's kiss another man. Eren tares his eyes away from the horror show before him and speeds away. He tries to keep a stoic face but the tears wont stop falling.

"Why? Why Jean? Why the horse face and not me? Why Mikasa, why did you leave me too?"

As he parted from Eren, Reiner waved to his short blone friend Aramin.

"Aramin, Eren is finally going to do it"

"About dam time, I've put so much effort into grooming Eren for this, if he screws it up I'm going to kill him"

"So when did he tell you he liked her"

"Well I think he always had a special spot for Mikasa ever since we we're little and even though they weren't dating growing up Eren would dettere guys away from Mikasa hehe good time's..... but he only came to me and told me at the end of junior year then he told you, Connie, Sasha, Jean, Bert (, Annie and Marco."

"He is either a very desperate man or a very patient one"

"Well he's definitely the first one" Armin and Reiner both smirked at that comment.

"Well Reiner I need to head home now, need a lift?"

"Sure, thanks"

The two blondes headed to Armins shabby looking Volkswagen Golf GTI and Armin saw Eren leave in his Landcruiser, Eren didn't show much emotion on his face but Armin could tell Eren was on the verge of breaking down, "wait what, why does he look like that?".

"Armin"

"Yeah?"

"I dont know how to put this but ahhh..... look over there" Reiner said pointing past Armin, several cars down. They both look back at each other with a sense of dread.

"Armin/Reiner........ fuck!"

Armin and Reiner pulled upto Eren's drive way, parked the car then let themselves in as Armin had one of three keys to the small flat. They then headed up the stairs to Eren's bedroom and Armin knocked on his door then opened it.

Reiner and Armin walked in on Eren playing his guitar and singing, they sat down and listened knowing that their friend needed to vent through music.

'

"Armin I know you parked close to me and I can guess why you to are silently sitting there. Reiner, Armin I appreciate it but I need to be alone for a while."

"We understand Eren, Armin and I are here for you and we will be a text away if you need us. I wait down stairs Armin." Reiner got up and left leaving the childhood friends together.

"Eren I'm so sorry."

"Armin I know you mean well but I just need some me time."

For then next two day Eren didn't show up to school. Armin went to see him after school each day to check up on him and make sure he was taking care of himself, but he couldn't get more than one or two word answer out of Eren. However Armin did notice that the house was looking unnaturally clean.

It was the ninth day of Erens absence from school, which made Armin, Reiner and their friends concerned with the exception of one horse faced bastard. Mikasa was worried sick and confronted Armin about Eren as she couldn't get a word out of Reiner.

"Armin where's Eren is he ok, it's graduation today he needs to be here."

"He's fine and im sure he'll be here"

"He isn't fine Armin Eren's never left me on read before and if you know he's fine the means he talked to you and he is purposely ignoring me" Mikasa said, worry and hurt evident in her voice.

"Mikasa right now it's important to leave Eren to himself......im sorry but I think its best if only Reiner, Connie and I see him"

"But..but...but why? Did I do something to hurt him... tell me Armin, please"

Armin was conflicted as to whether he should tell her, so he looked over to Reiner who shook his head, Armin revived the hint.

"Look Mikasa I hate to say it.....but, if you can't already guess then I don't think you deserve to know", the look on Mikasa's face broke Armins heart but he was doing it for his oldest friend.

"Look Mikasa I need to get going now and prepare for the ceremony, I suggest you do too", with that Armin went to his car and drove off.

Mikasa was just standing there still in shock over Armins words.

"Hey babe you good.....babe?"

"Oh it's just you Jean sorry I was just thinking"

"I know your thinking about that loser you know what I think.... if that loser is ignoring you then if you see him at the graduation ceremony just give him the cold shoulder and besides if he's ignoring you then he doesn't deserve your friendship", Jean stated with a hint of anger and jealousy, "now I'll drop you home shall I", his tone said it wasn't a question.

"Oh...ok..whatever"

Eren's alarm went off signaling for him to get ready. " Everyone should be getting there certificates right bout now.. so all I need to do is slip in and get my certificate then get out. No one will be any the wiser."

Eren slipped on some plain black jeans, a white Beatles abbey road shirt and on top of that a brown leather jacket he just bought. He then topped put on some stylish sunglasses a black face mask and a black Patagonia cap, so no one could see his brown hair or unique green eyes. He then topped it off with his black high top Doc martins. "Right no one knows I have this leather jacket so they won't think twice about it, with any luck I'll just look like someone's germa-phobic older brother older brother, hopefully."

Eren went down the stairs then locked his front door.

"Right, now I can't take the Landcruiser people will recognize it too easily, guess I'll have to take that old thing" Eren then walked over to the old shed and pulled the cover off the classic 1954 vincent black shadow. As the bike roared into life, Eren set off.

"Who needs a helmet, hehe."

#Black shadows are sexy bikes#

*Knock* *Knock* "Come in", Erwin replied. A man with black boots, black jeans, white abbey road shirt, black face mask, black cap and sunglasses appeared before him, holding a brown leather jacket in his right arm. Erwin gave the man a warming smile.

"What do you want Yaeger? And before you ask how I know it's you, I'll say no one would ever come greet me trying to not stick out so much.... and im good at guessing", Erwin chuckled at the confused body language of the man before him which only confirmed his suspicion.

"Alright you got me, I just came to get my certificate and head off so if you could give it to me that would be swell"

"As it so happens I have it on me because of your friends Reiner Braun and Armin Arlet, they told me it was important that I have it on me tonight, here you go.", Erwin produces a folder from his suit jacket and hands it to Eren.

"Thank you sir"

"Your welcome Yaeger" Erwin smiles and reaches out his hand to Eren, who the grabs it, "Eren....... make me proud."

With that last hand shake Eren nods at his former principal and leaves.

Eren walks through the campus avoiding the crowds and sticking to the shadows reminiscing over all the good times he had here, a few steps away from his motorcycle Eren is paralyzed by a voice he wished he would never hear.

"Hey Yaeger stop right there"

Eren turns around, takes off his cap, sunnies, lowers his mask and glares at the owner of the disembodied voice.

"What do you want Jean?"

"Im just hear to gloat"

"Well if its just that then im leaving"

"Where did you get that bike it's preety nice, bet you got it from your dad. Did he teach you how to ride it.... oh no wait he couldn't have because he's fucking dead AHAHAHA", at that Eren clenched his jaw and closed his fists "oh whats this you gonna cry, yeah go cry to your mum, SIKE! SHE'S DEAD TOO! MURDERED BY A CANNIBAL! I BET SHE SUFFERED!", Eren was now furious, slowly making his was over to Jean.

"Don't say another thing you shitty horse face."

"Ha and now the woman you love is mine, EVERYONE LEAVES YOU YAEGER, YOUR PARENTS DESERVED WHAT THEY GOT. Now let me tell you what Mikasa and I are going to do toni..", Jean was not able to finish that sentence as Eren had punch him in the face sending him to the ground.

Mikasa was on her way to Jeans car fiddling her fingers in the red scarf Eren gave her back when they were six. When all of a sudden she heard something loud crash against a car. She turned around and to her surpise saw Eren, Eren tackling Jean to the ground, get on top of Jean and pummel his face.

"How could she choose a person like you over me Jean all you do is lie and use personal things to get under people's skin. You deserve this."

"EREN STOP!"

Eren turned around to see Mikasa running towards them. Jean used Erens momentary lapse to get out from under him. Eren was just staring at Mikasa in shock. Watching as she went over to help her injured boyfriend.

"Jeany what happened? Why were you fighting Eren?"

"I just came over to tell your friend... that you and I were dating since he was ignoring your calls and text. He obviously couldn't take it and caught me by surprise."

"Eren why would you do this!"

"Mikasa... he's right I can't handle it but thats not why I fucked up your precious Jeany."

"What couldn't he have possibly said Eren" Mikasa was getting increasingly angry the longer they talked.

"Fine but your just going to believe him anyway so it doesn't matter but... he told me my parents deserved what they got."

"Jean is that true."

"You know me I'd never say that babe." The look on Mikasa's face told Eren that she completely believed Jean.

"Eren I want you to leave now"

"Sure"

"IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE JEAN AND I THEN JUST LEAVE" Mikasa screamed as she threw off her scarf "I CAN'T HAN"

"I FUCKING SAID I'D LEAVE DAM IT"

"THEN GET LOST"

Eren had one last glance at Mikasa and then Jean. The look in Jeans eye's said everything to Eren, "I let you win, you fell into my trap and now you will never have a chance with her." The Eren got on his bike and left.

Mikasa was too focused on helping Jean to regret her choice of words.
