Chapter Text
You walked into the room with the bag of money slung over your shoulder. The group watched as you dropped the bag onto the table, their eyes leaving you as they stared at the bag that they knew was full of money they would soon claim as theirs. You clapped your hands together, grabbing everyone's attention.
"You know what's in the bag, but you will be working for it, of course." you explained, watching the reactions of the group carefully. "You know what the job is, but I want it done properly. No mistakes like last time otherwise you will be punished. I don't care if it wasn't your fault. If one person goes down, you all go down." you added, making sure to be firm with your words. The job was important, and you didn't want anyone fucking it up.
Eren raised his hand, ready to speak. You rolled your eyes, knowing that whatever was about to come out of his mouth was going to piss you off, seeing as he had the audacity to never learn from asking dumb, irrelevant shit. You nodded your head, waiting for him to talk.
"Can I sit this one out? I still haven't recovered from the last job." he said, his tone confident, which you admired, but he wasn't going to get his way this time.
You licked your teeth, shoving your hands in your pockets. "Follow me, Eren." you said, watching as he stood from his seat on the couch, ready to follow you. You began to walk to the room downstairs, the room you'd have meetings with since it was soundproof. Armin was kind enough to help me with that one. Once you entered the room, Eren following closely behind, you closed the door once he entered, making sure it was locked.
"Do you know why this job is so important?" you asked, raising an eyebrow at Eren sat on the couch. You watched as he shook his head, his eyes never leaving yours as you took your seat on the desk, crossing your left leg over your right one. "It's because I can't have any of this drug being sold by our competitors. If they end up selling it with their name on it, and not ours, the business will start to go down hill. Do you understand?"
You watched as Eren nodded, jumping off the desk and standing in front of him before sending your boot into his stomach. "Then, explain to me why you think you can skip this one out because of your sore arm? Are you fucking stupid?" you shouted, the sound of Eren's groans filling your ears. "I will break the other one if you say some dumb shit like that again, do you understand?" you continued, ready to kick him again in the stomach, but decided not to.
"I'm sorry." he said, throwing his hands in the air. "It was dumb of me to ask."
You nodded, climbing on top of his legs to straddle him. "Look, Eren, I like you. I really do. You're the strongest person I have out on there and I can't have you skipping this one, okay?" you said, running your thumb down his bottom lip. Eren stared at you with his beautiful green eyes that you loved, his hands resting on either side of him. You wanted to kiss him badly, but knew that it wouldn't be good to mess with his feelings at a time like this. You needed the mission to be complete before you had your way with him. He can't be thinking about you while he was out on a job. It would only lead to mistakes.
"I understand." he muttered, his eyes dropping down to your lips. You smiled, climbing off him and standing up straight, your hands in your pockets.
"If you be a good boy, I'll reward you if you get this done." you grinned, watching the glint of excitement glow in Eren's eyes. You loved when he looked like that. It showed you that it gave you power over him. You wanted to be in complete control of the man, and seeing him get excited by your words made your grin only grow more.
Eren had worked with you for a year now, and he was, by far, one of the best people you had on your side. You were captivated by him the first moment you saw him in training. The way his muscles would flex each time he threw a punch, or when he would grab the bottom of his shirt to wipe his face, exposing his ripped chest. He was a beautiful man who you adored with your entire heart. Eren knew about your feelings, and he sometimes like to push his boundaries to get a reaction from you. He loved to tease you, when the moment was right, of course, otherwise he would get a punch to his stomach in a heartbeat.
No one else compared to him. The way he would look at you with admiration each time you told someone off, or the way he would hold you in your arms after a stressful day, knowing well aware that you hated to be held. But with him, you always seemed to make an exception.
You had a weird relationship with Eren. Yes, the abusive part of it wasn't healthy, but he had accepted it, knowing well aware that when he was acting foolishly, or doing the wrong thing, he would be punished. You didn't want to hurt him, but sometimes, you had to show him who was the boss. If Eren came to a point where he told you to stop, you would in a heartbeat, but for now, that wasn't going to change anytime soon.
"Go back upstairs." you said, watching as he stood up from the couch to leave, but you grabbed his hand, stopping him. "Be safe, please."
Eren smiled in response, his other hand placed on top of yours. "Always."

You breathed in the smoke from the bong, making sure to not ruin it as you inhaled slowly. When you sucked the rest through the hole, you placed the bong on the table in front of you, holding the smoke in your mouth for a few seconds before exhaling. You hadn't received a message from anyone since they left, and it's only been a few hours. Granted, the jobs usually take half a day, if done right, but that didn't stop you from feeling anxious, which was why you decided that getting high was the only fix, seeing as you didn't have Eren with you.
You pressed your body into the couch, crossing your leg over the other as your eyes slipped shut, listening to the sound of Redbone by Childish Gambino play through the speakers that were hooked up to the TV. Since you had enough money to pay off the neighbours in case they usually complained about your music being too loud, you didn't care about how loud you wanted to play your music. Tonight, you were feeling like making the floor shake with the vibration of the bass, and no one could stop you.
"Y/N," you heard someone say behind you, making you turn your head to stare at Hange, who was holding some papers in their hands. "I think you want to come and see this." they said, making you sigh as you paused your music, following Hange to the experimental room where they would be testing out the products.
"This better be good." you muttered, entering the room as Hange turned the lights on. Hange handed you the notes, which you glanced down to read. It read something about the new drug we were working on, which had the ability to get you stoned, but much better. Many of the customers were already hooked on getting their hands on it. "Just get to the point, Hange." you said, placing the notes on the desk beside you.
"Okay, so the chemicals won't be balanced out until late tomorrow, but I think I might've found something that you could be selling next." they said, a proud smile on their face as they pushed up their glasses higher. "I didn't want to test it out, seeing as I don't use substances but I think it would give you the same high as if you were on speed. I used the same substances but the chemical reaction technique that I used changed parts of the product that would benefit your buyers. Think of it as if you had ten drinks with caffeine in it, but the reaction time of it acting hitting you being way quicker, and lasting way longer." they explained, their smile growing with each word.
You raised an eyebrow, impressed by their words. "When will it be done?" you asked, walking closer to the table where Hange would experiment on.
Hange pressed their lips together in a fine line, and judging by the look on their face, the answer wasn't going to be something you were hoping for. "Not until next week, and that's the earliest. I still need to do a few more-"
You shook your head. "I want it done by Friday, and seeing as today is Tuesday, I think I've given you plenty of time." you said, glancing over at Hange with a raised brow.
Hange was ready to protest, like they usually do, but knowing your rules, they decided to keep their mouth shut. "Of course." they said, nodding. You smiled, clapping your hands together.
"Good. I look forward to selling this by Friday." you said, patting Hange on the back. As you left the room, you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket. You looked down at your phone once you grabbed it from your pocket, a groan escaping your lips when you finished reading it.
Armin; We have a problem. Cops arrived and have arrested Eren and a few others.
You ran a hand through your hair, annoyance growing inside you. You grabbed your jacket and threw it on, making sure to grab your keys. Driving under the influence was a bad idea, but knowing how dangerous the situation was, and how stupid Eren was when it came to the police, you had no other choice.
They were definitely going to get their asses kicked.
