Coincidences
one
The first time it happened it was just a stupid, dumb, stupid coincidence.
You had just wanted to get laid, and then Armin had suggested this app that Eren - dumb, stupid, Eren - liked to use.
“Well, I like it too.”
And that had settled it. If little Armin liked something, it was bound to be good.
You had never thought it would lead to, well, this.
“What the hell are you doing here, horseface?”
Yeah, you really didn’t think this one through. God, please don’t let Eren, stupid Eren Jaeger be your blind date.
Please.
“What are you doing here, Jaeger?”
He scoffed and sat down next to you at the bar. Seriously, who met a date, at a bar? Well, apparently you both did, but that’s neither here nor there. He crossed his arms and looked you up and down with an unimpressed smirk.
“I asked you first, but by the looks of things, you’re here for a date, horseface.”
You nodded and gave him the same unimpressed elevator look. Or as unimpressed as you could muster. But really, he looked good.
“I am, Armin showed me that app you always use to find your unsuspecting victims, thought I’d give it a try.”
His eyes then went wide, and for the first time you noticed how vibrant they were. In the dim lighting of the bar, they lit up like fireflies with their Caribbean blue colour.
Fuck.
And that’s how you figured out, that the blind dates you were both scheduled for, were with each other.
Suffice to say, you both hightailed out of that bar, and promised never to speak of it again.
What a stupid coincidence
two
The second time it happened, you made eye contact across the park and went your separate ways.
three
The third time it happened, you called Armin.
“Dude why do we keep getting set up, are people even using this dumb app or is it just Jaeger?”
“Excuse you, I have had a lot of luck with this app.”
“Well, then why does it keep setting me up with Jaeger?”
“You know the app sets you up with people who have compatible profiles.”
You hung up. You and Eren still hadn’t as much as looked at each other.
four
The fourth time it happened, well.
“You’re so stupid horseface.”
At least you had looked at each other this time. You had more than looked at each other.
You hummed because what else could you do with a mouthful of cock? At least it shut him up.
As you lied awake that night, you thought about Eren. Yes, he was lying right besides you, but you still thought about him, as if he weren’t there.
“Hey, Jaeger?”
“Hm?”
He sounded tired. You were exhausted. Mainly because of him, because who the hell has that much stamina?
Also, because, four accidental dates might not be a coincidence after all. At least, as you lied there, in Eren’s bed, with Eren’s arm around your waist, and Eren’s breath on the back of your neck, you hoped the next one isn’t a coincidence.
“Wanna go on a date with me?”
five
The fifth time, it isn’t a coincidence.
