Guess What? It's Game Night (ErenxReader)Modern!AU

~+~+~+~

"Come ooooon, (f/n)! You need to join us!"

"Sasha, I already told you I can't go. I have to study for the midterm. You already know this."

"Yeah, but you have plenty of time the rest of the weekend to cram. You need a break!"

You sighed at your enthusiastic friend and room-mate Sasha, rolling your eyes. Tonight was Friday, and this meant that tonight was Game Night. Each week, Connie and his room-mate Jean would hold a party at their apartment. It usually consisted of board and video games, and ended with Jean and another friend of yours named Eren fighting about who came first.

Eren also happened to be your long time crush, ever since you two graduated and ended up at the same university.

"I dunno. It always ends up being board games or video games anyways." You deadpanned.

"So that means we'll be there at 8:00? Great! I knew you would change your mind, grumpy butt." Sasha said, giving you a hug before promptly running off to class. You reached out after her, giving a grimace and dropping your arm to your side. Soon your face relaxed into a grin. Sasha always had a way of getting you out of your apartment, whether you liked it or not.


~+~+~+~

You and Sasha trudged up the stairs until you found Connie and Jean's apartment number, fixing your shirt and taking a few deep breathes. 'They had to live on the top goddamn floor.' You complained in your head, knocking on the front door. It swung open almost immediately, revealing a happy-looking Connie.

"Hey (f/n). Hi Sasha!" The shaved-headed boy greets, going up on his tiptoes and giving Sasha a kiss on the cheek. You chuckled softly.

"Hey Connie. Nice to see you too." You smiled.

He laughed and let you two in, Sasha making a beeline towards the snack table with Connie behind her. You made your way to the couch, seeing as someone else already occupied a cushion.

"Hey Eren." You greeted, sitting next to the teal-eyed boy. He turned to you and gave you a sweet smile.

"Hey (f/n). Glad you made it."

You grinned back at him. "Me too. S'nice to see everyone get together. Good to see you too."

You saw his cheeks turn slightly pink as he rubbed the back of his neck, chuckling. "It's good to see you too. Really good."

You felt your cheeks heat up slightly before you covered it with a cough. Smooth.

"So do you know when everybody else is gonna get here?" You ask.

Suddenly, someone sits on the cushion in between you and Eren, lazily draping an arm around your shoulders.

"Hey there, (f/n). I see you decided to come." Of course, it was Jean.

You snickered. "Hey Jean. Do you know when everyone'll be here?"

He shrugged, taking a sip of his beer. "No clue."

From the other side, you could see Eren puff out his cheeks in annoyance.

"Hey Eren. Why are you giving me that face? You look like a pufferfish." Jean chided, taking off the arm that was around your shoulder.

"Oh shut up, horse-face."

"Hey! Watch it, Jaeger."

Looks like Game Night has started.

*time skip 'cause I'm lazy eheh*

Once all your friends had finally arrived and gotten themselves settled, Game Night had started. All in all, the people who arrived were you, Sasha, Eren, Mikasa, Marco (much to Jean's secret pleasure), Reiner, Ymir and Christa. Along with the hosts Connie and Jean, this made a grand total of 10 people ready to party.

"Alright guys." Jean stood in the front of the room, clasping his hands together to gain everyone's attention. "Tonight we're gonna do something a little different. We're gonna do two games, and two games only." Jean looked around the room, a smirk fixed on his face.

"The first game will be fun, and I'm sure a certain someone-" He looked at you before fixing his gaze back to everyone else. "-will be thrilled for tonight's choice. We're playing Dance Dance Revolution!" He gestured to the two mats that lay beside him. Connie switched on the T.V., and the DDR logo flashed in the background.

You let out an immediate gasp as your eyes lit up in excitement. DDR was your motherfuckin' GAME.

"Jean, are you serious? (F/n)'s just gonna whoop all our asses." Ymir complained, leaning her head on Christa's shoulder.

"Not this time. I think I got her beat." Connie claimed. He stood up and posed in a diva-like manor. Sasha just whacked him on the back of the head, chuckling.

"Pssh, like anybody could beat the master. Watch and learn, sissies." You stood up and strode over to the front of the room, looking everyone in the eye. "Any challengers?"

Before Connie could stand up and prove his 'moves', Eren had beat him to it and taken the other mat beside you.

"You're on, Dancing Queen." Eren said, a mischievous glint in his teal eyes. You raised an eyebrow.

"You sure, Jeager? I'm pretty sure you got two left feet." You heard Jean snicker quietly at your challenge.

"Bring it on, Twinkle Toes." He gave you a wink. You gave him a grin in return.

As everyone's whoops and hollers filled the air and cheering for a dance-off, you scrolled through the song list, lazily tapping your foot on the side of the mat to make your selection. Skimming through music titles, you finally found a good song. Feeling a grin snake its way across your face, you selected the song. The music started off with a good beat, and then vocals floated out of the speakers as the arrows appeared on screen.


"It's getting late

I'm making my way over to my favourite place

I gotta get my body moving

Shake the stress away

I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way

Possible candidate, yeah

Who knew

That you'd be up in here looking like you do

You're making staying over here, impossible

Baby, I must say your aura is incredible

If you don't have to go, don't"

You swayed to the music with your whole body, easily tapping the right places with your feet as "Perfect" and "Outstanding" constantly flashed on your side of the screen. Eren glanced over at you from time to time, his cheeks reddening as he looked at your swaying hips. You saw him glance at your dancing and gave him another wink, running your hands along your curves as you gained a perfect score.


"Do you know what you started?

I just came here to party

But now we're rocking on the dance floor, actin' naughty

Your hands around my waist

Just let the music play

We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face"

You and Eren turned to face each other, feet moving in sync to the beat. He smiled and raised a hand out in front of him, and you laughed. You took it and he spun you around, then you both resumed playing. Your cheeks dusted red after you noticed how warm and nice his hand felt around yours. Everyone clapped and cheered before joining in on the chorus, everybody in the room singing out of tune. Connie screeched the loudest, Sasha giggling and following suit.

"[CHORUS]
I wanna take you away

Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play

I just can't refuse it

Like the way you do this

Keep on rockin' to it

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away

Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play

I just can't refuse it

Like the way you do this

Keep on rockin' to it

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the

Please don't stop the music"

You were starting to get tired. Your feet moved in a blur as the tempo increased, and your score bar began to flow in rainbow colors. You whooped in victory, having achieving a maximum combo. You looked over at Eren's screen to see the same. You quirked an eyebrow. 'Impressive.' Normally your challengers would be tiring out by now.

"Baby are you ready cause it's getting close

Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?

What goes on between us no-one has to know

This is a private show

Do you know what you started?

I just came here to party

But now we're rocking on the dance floor, actin' naughty

Your hands around my waist

Just let the music play

We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face"

Eren was starting to get tired. He had no clue how you were able to keep getting such good scores while keeping a good pace. Just as soon as he was able to match his score with yours, his footwork had started to get less accurate from exhaustion. He was sweating, and his breaths were heavy. You only had a light bead of sweat on your forehead, your breathing even. He saw your (e/c) eyes following every move on the screen, laughter bubbling from your mouth. He smiled, watching you enjoy yourself.

"I wanna take you away

Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play

I just can't refuse it

Like the way you do this

Keep on rockin' to it

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away

Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play

I just can't refuse it

Like the way you do this

Keep on rockin' to it

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the

Please don't stop the music"

The song was almost over. Your friends cheered loudly as you tapped the final arrows to the song, placing one arm behind your head and one in the air as you landed a final pose. The lyrics faded as the last of the song played out on the speakers.

"Please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music"

You weren't surprised to see your results on the scoreboard. You had received a perfect score. You threw a wide grin at Eren, proud of yourself. He didn't do too bad himself; he got close to your score, only 64 points away.

"Good job, Eren." You congratulated him, walking over and giving him a high-five. He smiled.

"You too, as per usual."

You slapped his shoulder playfully. "Oh, come on."

He only laughed, shaking his head. "It's true. You...you move really well. It looked great. Amazing, actually." His grin turned sheepish as he scratched the back of his neck, blushing. Your face soon mimicked his. "T-thanks."

Before you realized what he was doing, he pressed a small peck on your cheek. Your heart thumped loudly, and it wasn't from exhaustion.

"Your welcome, my little Dancing Queen."
