Chapter Text
Connie has always been the one to force you to the beach. He loved making sand castles with you since the two of you were in elementary school. It was now college and he still acted like the same child he was so many years ago at the beach. It was in the middle of summer, the heat scorched your skin as you placed your stuff down in the sand next to Sasha's bag of food she snuck onto the beach.
"Sasha what did I tell you about bringing this amount of food with us. It's not healthy." said Connie, placing down his beach chair in the sand.
"What do you mean it's not healthy? If someone doesn't eat, they die. Simple as that." Sasha replied taking a handle of chips from the bag and shoving them in her mouth.
"Let's not fight, please. This is our first time at the beach all summer and I want to have the most fun without you two bickering, okay?" you interjected as you started to take off your shirt which revealed your bathing suit underneath. Connie had followed your lead and had stripped his short sleeves shirt over his head revealing the waistband of his blue swim shorts.
"I'll stay here and make sure no one dies." Sasha said sitting underneath the umbrella which Connie had put up knowing she would act like this.
"You aren't coming in the water? God, you're such a party pooper." Connie said, making his way over to the waves crashing in the distance.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Sasha waved her arm at Connie as she looked down at her phone. She was never the type to go in the water, nor go in the sun for that matter. She had brown hair that was formed in a low ponytail in the back of her head. Her complexion was pale which matched her face beautifully and had piercings lining up both her ears to complete her look.
Connie on the other hand was far from what you'd expect. He was 5'10 at least and had recently started growing out his buzzcut which resulted in the short silver hair at the top of his head. His eyes were hazel and reflected off of the sun so beautifully that they looked like freshly collected honey.
"You coming or what?" Connie yelled at you from the water. His feet were already in the water and by the looks of it, the water was cold, but the two of you couldn't care less. You called back to him telling him to be patient and started walking down the slight sand dune down to the water. As you were walking, a whole group of surfers just happened to cut you off failing to apologize for almost bumping into you.
Out of the group, you had picked out one that caught your eye. The brunette man walked shortly behind the rest of the group. He was tall, about 6'0 maybe, and had washboard abs that you could see from a mile away. His turquoise eyes reflected perfectly off the greeny blue sea behind him, making them sparkle. He had his hair pulled back in a low bun with his baby hairs draping over his forehead. He was breathtaking to say the least.
"Y/N, what are you waiting for come on!" Connie said, splashing water at you to make you come into the water. You jumped in the water feet first, forgetting how cold the water actually was. The two of you played in the water. The waves came and gone, just like that. For what felt like minutes was actually hours as the two of your talked shoulders deep in the ocean water.
There was a sudden recession and the water levels dropped to around your waist and the waves behind you and Connie had begun to tower over the both of you.
"Body surf it. Twenty Bucks," Connie said to you with a grin on his face.
"Thirty." you said back to him as you began to paddle through the water trying to move along with the wave. You had never body surfed a wave this big and your body started to lose control as you kept swimming against the wave. It looked pretty bad for you right about now as you were about to crash into the sand below you. All of a sudden, a pair of hands grabbed you from behind and held you tight before lightly falling down back into the water, riding the wave out, but scratching your side a bit from the sand below you. You were coughing up water that you had collected in your lungs. The same pair of hands came to your back, patting it lightly to help loosen the water particles trapped in your lungs.
"You're going to be fine don't worry," said the voice. It seemed to be coming from a man. No, teenager at least. You turned your head to see the same brunette man from before, kneeling next to you as you sat coughing up a storm. His face was even more detailed and perfect up close. The specks of blue and green within his eyes glew even brighter at this angle. His earring in his right ear reflected off the sun and slightly blinded by the brightness of it. He seemed to have a boyish face, but yet a very mature body.
"Thank you. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't saved me there." you said to him panting.
"No problem at all. I know my way around the ocean so it wasn't that big of a deal." he said to you with a smirk as he pushed your sandy hair out of your face. "You're awfully cute, aren't you?"
"I- um," you said to him trying to not make it obvious that you were blushing on the inside.
"It's fine. You just had the wind knocked out of you, I'm not expecting you to bring your top flirting game after that," he said getting up and reaching a hand down to you to help you up to your feet. You pushed the sand that stuck to your damp body and grazed your hands together to also get it off your hands. The sand on the man stuck to his tanned knees and forearms, but he didn't bother pushing it off.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. My head is throbbing." You said, lifting your head up to the back of your head, checking to see if you were bleeding in any way.
"Oh my God, you're bleeding. Come on, I have a first aid kit back where my surfboard is." He started jogging ahead of you to the group of people who sat on the beach, all boys, and scurried through a red bag with a white cross on it. You followed shortly behind, trying not to do anything that could potentially hurt you more.
"Come here" he said to you as he lifted a cloth to the back of your head and applied pressure. His abs were against your skin and you couldn't help but inhale sharply as he warm chest touched yours.
"Who's this babe?" asked one of his friends in the group next to him. You immediately looked towards them, all their eyes fixated on you who was a mess from wiping out.
"Back off, Porco. Can't you tell she just took a hit to her head." he said, looking over to the man as he furrowed his eyebrows. He was tall, but not as tall as the brunette helping you. His blondish brown hair was kept slick back by the damp water of the ocean with little hairs poking in the front kind of like the man helping you.
"Relax, Eren. It was a joke." said Porco as he lifted his hands to signal he was going to back off you. He turned back around to laugh with two other men who seemed to both have blonde hair.
"I'm sorry about them, really. This might sting a bit," he said while taking some bottles out of the first aid kit and poured some of the liquid onto the cloth and reapplied it to your head making you hiss. You closed your eyes to try to distract yourself from the pain of the chemicals going against your open wound.
"Hey, Y/N! There you are! Are you okay?" Connie came running to you from behind and slowed down once he came in inches away from you. He put his hands on his hips looking up at Eren who looked at Connie with a confused look. "Who's this?"
"Oh, is she your girlfriend? I'm so sorry bro I had no idea-" Eren said to him making a face that almost seemed shocked. He backed off a bit and lifted the cloth from your head that had collected the last of the blood.
"No, I'm not his girlfriend, don't worry. He's not going to kill you." you said reaching for the back of your head to feel your wound. Eren grabbed your hand before you could touch it and moved it back down to your side, not letting go until you stopped struggling against his grip. Connie just stared at the two of you confused what was going on since you hadn't introduced him to you yet. Hell, he hasn't even introduced himself to you.
"I'm Eren," the tall man held out his hand for Connie to shake which he immediately followed.
"Connie," he replied back to him, slightly intimidated by his towering figure, shaking his hand.
"You guys are from the area, right?" Eren said pointing at the both of you with his eyebrows raised. You waited for Connie to say something, but he was distracted by something in the water so Eren's words just went straight over his head.
"Uh, yeah. We come here every week in the summer, but we've been lacking a bit." You said to him, nudging Connie's side to get his attention. Connie woke back up from his day dream and nodded along with what you were saying without having a clue what was going on.
"Oh well, if you're free later, there's a beach party here tonight. It's up to you though. I have to go back to my group though, please think about it." he said before picking up his surfboard and running into the beach. You could see his man bun in the back of his head moving up and down while stretching his long legs as he ran.
"Stop drooling." Connie pushed you playfully before you rammed your whole body into him causing him to almost trip over his own feet.
"I will once you give me the thirty dollars you owe me, baldy," you said to him before he rolled his eyes and walked to the umbrella near your stuff. Sasha looked up at you two coming closer to her, a bowl of food in her lap and her phone in her right hand.
"Hey, you guys are back early what happened?" Sasha picked up her head while chewing the last of the chips in the bowl.
"Well I was body surfing a wave that this dumbass dared me to ride in and-" you said before Connie cut you off.
"And then this really cute guy saved me and we kissed and got married and UGH," Connie imitated you in a girly voice before you punched him again in the side to tell him to cut it out.
"I'm sorry." Sasha shook her head in confusion, "Start from the top please."
"Y/N got caught in a big wave and a surfer named Eren saved her and invited us to a party tonight." Connie said as he rubbed his arm from your punch.
"Why didn't you guys say so. Let's fucking go." Sasha said sitting up straighter while moving the empty bowl out of her lap.
You never took into consideration going to the party. You assumed it was just going to be just a bunch of bratty skinny girls who threw themselves at any man over the height of 6'0" and surfer fuckboy who think that being one with the ocean is a personality trait. Thinking about it, it could be fun. Connie and Sasha always made parties a good time no matter the location, time, or condition.
"Fuck it, let's go." you said slapping the sides of your thighs with your hands as you brought your arms down. Connie just nodded along with what everyone was saying because he hadn't had a clue what was going on. "Wait shit, what's the dress code?"
"I'm sure it's just beachwear. Don't stress about it so much, you can always borrow my clothes like you always do." Sasha got up off of her towel and started taking down the umbrella.
"I never said I wanted to leave-" you said to her as she continued to pack up.
"Y/N, this party is in how long? Three hours? You need to wash your sandy hair and get you a nice beach dress or something. If we stay here, you won't have enough time to get ready later. Now let's go." she picked up the chairs and handed Connie the colorful umbrella. Sasha told you that you didn't need to carry anything because of the state that you're in.
Sasha had rented out a place for the three of you for the weekend right across the boardwalk of the beach. It was convenient for you since you didn't have to drive all the way home, get ready, and then come all the way back the way you came. Sasha kicked the door open with her leg since her hands were full. She released all the items in her hand as soon as she was in the main room of the condo. You watched her diligently as she made her way over to her room, waving a hand at you to follow her to the bathroom.
"Hop in the shower so I can do your makeup, K?" she said to you handing you the closest towel in her right. You shut the door behind her, lightly tossing the towel on top of the toilet seat cover. You turned on the water and waited for the water to hit the right temperature before hopping in. You rinsed your hair of the sand that was stuck near your scalp and wound. You didn't feel the pain of your cut which was a good sign that it was scabbing and healing. You finished off cleaning yourself and washing your hair the way you normally do on a daily basis. You stepped out of the shower and wrapped your towel around your chest.
You stepped into Sasha's room who was putting her legs into a white chic dress and pulling it over her chest which was covered in a lacy bra. She noticed you and pulled you into the walk in closet in the back and rummaged through the dresses she hung up. You picked out a nice, flowy dress perfect for the beach. You put the arm straps over your shoulders and Sasha helped zip up the back of it. The dress matched your body type perfectly which was initially beautiful as it is.
"Oh my God. Kiss me right now." Sasha said as she looked at you, gassing you up as your stared at yourself in the full body mirror on the wall outside the closet. She hugged you tightly which caught you by surprise. You patted her arms as she tightened her squeeze on you.
"Enough Sasha, I get it. I love you, too," you rolled your eyes to the top of your head, smirking a bit before she let go of you.
"Now! Makeup time." she said sitting you down on the chair of the desk right across from the bed. She pulled out her signature pink makeup bag and started rummaging through it to see if she had a foundation or concealer color that would match you perfectly. Luckily, she had snatched one of your foundation bottles a while back. She started laying down the base of your makeup and started adding other elements on top of that such as contour, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc. She finished off by spraying some setting spray on your face, making your eyelids jet close to avoid the mist from entering your eyes.
"Now, let's get Connie's ass up so we can force him to get changed or something. Sasha grabbed the Hawaii shirt on the bed and threw it at his face which was trying to pay attention to the game he was playing on his PS4.
"Sasha, fuck off. You just made me lose the whole thing." He said to Sasha as he held up his hand, gesturing to the TV screen in front of him with the big words "game over" written across it.
"Boohoo." Sasha stuck her tongue out at his before telling him to put his shirt on and get his ass out the door. Sasha grabbed a bottle of water and a snack or two and shoved them into her purse before calling to you to hurry up and head out the door as well.
"I'm coming, relax," you scoffed as you came over to where Connie and Sasha waited for you. Connie saw you and smiled as he saw how pretty you looked. You knew he didn't like you any more than a friend so you didn't mind getting compliments from him.
"You got everything?" Connie asked you while grabbing the handle to the front of the door. You nodded your head ever so slightly and Sasha pushed you out the door following right behind you.
"Let's go! This is going to be so fun! And Connie you better not piss yourself this time, got it?" said Sasha sternly as she eyed Connie who had become flushed with embarrassment. The two of you headed back to the boardwalk which lacked the crowd you had seen in the morning. There was music blaring in the distance behind a beach house settled right at the edge of the sand. It was a two story building that had been raised to avoid flooding when hurricanes came.
There seemed to be people placed in and outside the home along with people streaking in the water in the distance. This was going to be fun.
You three walked up to the front of the house right near the edge of the boardwalk and made your way inside. The people inside all had drinks in their hands, talking up a storm with each other and dancing to the loud music that created vibrations on the walls. You had noticed some of the familiar faces in the crowd like Porco who was jumping up and down on a table shirtless for some strange reason.
Connie trailed off once he caught sight of the bar in the distance and Sasha followed him alongside you. It was located in the back where their back porch met the sand. The bartender was a tall man with a full grown beard and blonde hair. His locks split in a middle part, draping over his circular glasses that laid perfectly on his nose. As you walked closer to the bar, he caught you out of the corner of his eye and directed his attention towards you.
"Do you guys want something to drink? I can make whatever you want." said the man. Once you stopped right in front of him, you noticed the name tag on the right of his chest that read 'Zeke'.
"Um, just pour us the special," Connie said waving his hand around.
It took Zeke around two minutes to prepare your drinks before handing them to you. Connie slipped him five dollars and a pat on the shoulder. Connie was already ahead of you and started chugging the drink, stopping around halfway to process the alcohol.
"WOOO. This is strong," Connie said out loud, observing the color and contents within the glass like a child.
"You could say that again," someone said coming up behind Connie and wrapping an arm around him. It was Eren. "That's why you don't dive right in and start downing it."
Eren lightly punched at Connie's chest before letting him go and heading over to where you were, sticking his hands in his blue shorts that matched with his white t-shirt. As he came closer, you were able to see his sunkist face, slightly burnt from the sun exposure all day in the ocean. The necklace around his neck was filled with rectangular puka shells all bunched together.
"I didn't think you'd make it. Y/N, was it?" he said pointing at you, squinting his eyes while second guessing himself.
"Yeah no, you got it right," you said to him while taking the smallest sip of the drink in your hand making you cringe with the strong alcohol taste. Sasha waved at him from a distance, but didn't bother to come over since she was already flirting up a storm with some guy in the corner.
"You guys can come hang upstairs with me and some other people if you want. The more the merrier," he said pointing his thumb to the door leading back inside. You looked at Connie who was sipping his drink still, not paying attention like usual.
"Oh yeah, sure whatever," he said agreeing to whatever Eren just said.
"Alright follow me," he grabbed your hand and led you inside. He kept grip of your hand while weaving through numerous people including Porco who was drunk out of his mind. The feeling of Eren holding on your hand tight sent butterflies to your stomach and sent your heart beating out of your chest rapidly. Connie lazily followed behind, getting clumsier as the alcohol settled in his bloodstream.
Eren pushed the french doors open upstairs to a mini hangout place filled with couches, chairs, and TVs. There weren't a lot of people in there so it gave you room to breathe. You noticed two familiar faces in the small crowd which you made out to be the two blondes who were with Eren this morning. The shorter of the two had short blonde hair with an undercut which you could see as he turned his head the other way. His blue eyes reflected off the flashing led lights above him. The taller one had a slight beard and was slightly taller than Eren.
"Yo Eren, what's up?" said the taller of the two. He let go of your hand and stuck his own back in his pockets slowly making his way over to the two. You walked in his shadow, not knowing what to do because Connie had already disappeared behind you.
"Nothing Reiner, just bringing up the girl who I invited earlier." said Eren exhaling as he wiped the little hairs sticking out of his bun out of his eyes. Reiner looked behind Eren to see you standing there, a little terrified.
"Oh, wipeout girl?" Reiner laughed as he gestured you to come from behind Eren so he could see you better. You felt warmth rise to your cheeks as you felt embarrassed for being known as the girl who wiped out.
"Leave her alone, dude." said the shorter blonde turning around with his arm around a short blonde girl who had her hair pulled back in a low bun. "You always fuck things up when you try and talk to a girl, you know that right?"
"Fuck off, Armin." said Reiner turning to him to argue with him some more. You and Eren stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do or say.
"Hey, hey. Stop it guys. It's not a great first impression when the two of you are fighting like this," said Eren stepping in the middle of them. Reiner looked at him with a scared look as he eyed him telling him to back off Armin.
"You know what why don't we just relax and get everyone to play a fun party game or something," said Armin interjecting, trying to lighten the mood.
"I don't really do party games, you know that Armin," said Eren, pulling his hair out of his bun and putting it right back up again.
"Me neither, to be completely honest," you said boldly as you finished the last drops of the drink in your hand. Reiner, Armin, and Eren stared at you in silence at what you had just said.
"You two don't have to play, it's completely fine," Armin said as he lifted his arm off of the tiny girl next to him.
"I guess I'll take her back outside the way we came so you guys have the whole room to yourselves. See ya," Eren said as he wrapped his arm around your shoulders and behind your neck. He turned you two around and walked to the door. You could hear the distant chatter of Reiner and Armin explaining the game of 'Truth or Dare' as the two of you exited the room and retraced your steps all the way back outside, but this time making your way into the sand.
"Wait, here grab a blanket. The ocean tides give off a cold breeze, I don't want you catching a cold." Eren handed you a blanket out of one of the cabinets outside near the bartender. He knew where a lot of the nooks and crannies were in this house which made you think a little bit. You two dragged your feet through the sand and out to where the music was no longer making your ears bleed. He sat down first, in front of the distant moonlight and gestured you to sit down next to him. You wrapped the blanket around your shoulders before sitting down in the cool sand below you.
"So," you said, not knowing what to do because Eren had dragged you out far away from the party. You looked at his face. He stared up at the crescent moon at was hovering over the endless sea in front of you. The light that the moon reflected off the sun shone onto his beautifully tanned skin and body. The color of his eyes seemed like endless waves of water. His eyes caught you staring in his peripheral vision and starting smirking.
"You can stop staring, now," he called you out as you immediately turned away hiding your embarrassed expression on your face.
"Eren, why are we here?" you asked him, still looking away from him and into the waves that crashed on the shore.
"I thought we'd need a break from all the loud noise and people inside, don't you think," he laughed, looking over to see you. You turned your head back to his, locking eyes.
"Yeah, they are pretty loud aren't they," you said giggling as you looked forward again at the almost unreal view. "Why do you do it?"
"I'm sorry?" Eren tilted his head in confusion to your question.
"Why do you surf? Like why is it so special?" you laughed lightly, letting a smile come to your face.
"Well, actually that's a very complex question. When I was fairly younger, me and Armin had lived inland far away from the oceans and the beaches. We only heard of the ocean through stories and photos online. It was Armin's dream to visit the ocean one day rather than settling for a lake or something. When we turned fifteen, or sixteen, I honestly forget, we both moved here and ever since then I've been surfing ever since." he explained to you with a serious, yet saddened tone. He was still staring at you, admiring your surrounding and the beauty of it all.
"I had no idea that water could mean so much to a person, even you." you said to him, leaning your head on his shoulder as your head became too heavy to hold up anymore. You had completely forgotten about the alcohol you ingested and it started to catch up to you as your thoughts and body started to loosen up. "Eren."
"Yeah, what's up."
"I don't think I truly got to fully thank you for saving my life today. I'd probably be in the hospital right now if it weren't for you. I don't know how else to thank you." you rambled on and on about how you wanted to repay him for saving you.
"I know one way you could make it up to me," he leaned in closer to you. Your lips separated centimeters from one another. He pushed his head forward into your lips. You didn't know what to do at first so you sat with your eyes wide open for a couple seconds before feeding into the kiss. You started moving your lips with his, slow and steady before picking up the pace a bit. Eren started to slowly move his tongue into your lips which danced with yours in a synchronized matter. Eren groaned as you put a hand on his chest, feeling his abs that jutted out of his white shirt. Eren held the back of your neck, lightly applying pressure to sensitive spots there.
You felt his hand go down to your waist where he held onto as you continued to kiss, this time more sloppy. He pulled away which left a small strand of saliva connecting the two of you. You slightly bit at your lip looking at him as to why he pulled away.
"I have to stop now because if I don't, I don't think I can hold myself back." he said to you looking into your eyes with a pleading, sorry look.
"Then don't hold back," you grabbed the back of his head and pressed his lips back against yours. His hands traveled on your chest and down to your blanket that had been laid over your lap. Thank god the blanket was there because it would act as the perfect cover in the future. He groaned into your mouth as he lightly cupped your breasts through your dress. He slid his hand down even further and onto your waist once again.
You began to take the initiative and started kissing the right side of his neck. He moaned through his lips as you sucked at the sensitive skin, leaving red and purple marks wherever you went. He hand started moving its way under the blanket and up your skirt. You yelped at you felt two of his fingers touch the sensitive spot over your panties. He reconnected his lips with yours to hold back your little moans that escaped your perfect lips.
He rubbed lightly against your clothed warmth until he could feel your wetness soaking the fabric surrounding his fingers. He moved his hand up to the band of your panties and gently moved his hand down to your folds in between your thighs. You made sure the blanket still covered yourself and his hand just incase if someone had to be walking nearby. He moved small circles around your clit as you moaned into his mouth, making him smirk against your lips with satisfactory. Once he was completely satisfied, he began sinking one finger into your warmth making you gasp against Eren's lips. Eren took the opportunity to shove his tongue deeper into the crevices of your mouth, dancing in your mouth more aggressively.
Eren started moving his finger in and out, while slightly bending it to hit your g-spot just right. You continued to moan into his mouth while he tried to shut you up with his hand that shot up to your neck, lightly choking you. He began sinking a second finger in, making your eyes tear up a bit. The sensation of fingers moving in and out over and over again was starting to become a little too much to handle. You eyes began to roll back and you back started to arch as you released a loud, muffled moan onto Eren's lips before releasing. Your whole body was shaking and chills were being sent through every limp and muscle. Your pure bliss overtook your senses for a short period of time, detaching your consciousness from the world before being brought back shortly after.
You stared at Eren who took his fingers out of your pussy and held them up to show you the mess you made. He took his finger and licked up the sides of each of them, savoring your sweet taste. He looked you in the eyes and chuckled a bit, shaking his head.
"What?" you said as you felt embarrassed after what the two of you did.
"Nothing. It was just hot to see you in that state, that's all," he said to you as he kissed you one more time before pulling away. "If you're thinking of doing something for me, don't worry about it, I'm not trying to get us caught out here."
The thought had crossed your mind that he did please you, but you didn't do a single thing for him. You didn't want to protest since he had already made up his mind and knew he really didn't want to get caught.
"Oh, that's fine." you said standing up, pushing down the skirt to your dress and folding the blanket in your hand. You handed the fluffy fabric to Eren you towered over you. He held on it for a bit with your hands still attached to it.
"Y/N, seriously, don't feel bad. I'm satisfied with what we did and I couldn't ask for anything more." he said, fully taking the blanket out of your hands and throwing it over his shoulders before walking back to the house. Connie was sitting on one of the chairs outside on the porch, nearly passed out from the alcohol.
"Y/N! Hey!" Connie said lazily as he pushed himself up to give you a hug. "Where have you been buddy? *hiccup* I missed you."
"God, I need to get you home," you said as you took one of his arms and wrapped it around your shoulders, letting him put all his support on you. "Thank you for inviting me tonight, I'll see you around."
You smiled at Eren who was standing there rummaging through his pockets to give you something. He slid a small piece of paper in your sweater pocket.
"You can look at that in the morning. Get home safe." he said gesturing you to walk around the house rather than through. You struggled to hold the almost bald man over your shoulders as you finally made it to the foot of your condo building. You helped Connie into the elevator before releasing him onto the floor to give your back a rest. On the minutes ride up the elevator, you daydreamed about your time with Eren and the small piece of paper he snuck to you before.
'Should I open it? No, he said to wait until tomorrow.'
The elevator door opened and you brought Connie to his feet again. You pushed Connie into the Condo and onto his bed before you collapse of the floor next to him. Sasha was already home for an hour before you guys so she was asleep in the next room. You didn't bother to move or change or do anything. You laid on the carpeted floor next to Connie and dozed asleep.
