Chapter Six: It's So Close

Armin sat in class, up the front as per usual. The English teacher was talking about the book they had to do a report on. He could have remembered the name of it if Eren wasn't in his head 24/7.


"Now now children," the teacher chatted, "I know you are seniors, but don't get all caught up in Valentines Day! This book report is due on that day, 3 days from now!"


Armin took that in, realising how close it was. If he didn't ask Eren now, he would never get the chance! But Armin had a plan on how to ask him.

Eren had music class next. He was excited for this class, as he had just picked up guitar. He learned a few songs, but was going to ask the teacher some questions. The bad thing was, Jean, his dorm mate, always told him to "Shut the hell up I'm tryna sleep!" whether it was night or not. He only tolerated Jean because he was Marco's boyfriend. Anyway, the class. The actual lesson was boring, but at the end the teacher talked to him.


"Hey Miss! Uh, I don't really talk to teachers, but I have a question." Eren says.


"What is it, Jaeger?" The teacher asks nicely.


"Well, I was gonna ask if I could perform at the Dance? There's this song I wrote..."


"Ooh, a song for a special someone?" The teacher asks.


"Yeah..." Eren replies.


"Of course! I'll just tell the DJ and you can go on before the slow dance or something." the teacher cheered.


"Thanks!" Eren said, relieved.


"See you then!" The teacher says happily.


As Eren exited the music room, he thought of lyrics in his head. He had been thinking of the word 'caress' since someone used it in a poem. He could use that. I want to caress you... I want to ........impress you?  It would need some working. He thought of the person he wrote the song for and smiled. I need to ask soon.
