A week had passed since Eren returned to his timeline.

Alone, he lay in his twin-sized bed inside a small, cramped, falling-apart apartment room. He dropped out of school since it was pointless to continue going due to the whole world-ending thing, however, he told Harry and Cindy that he just wanted to focus on other things before returning to school. His only source of income was the little he'd be making from the Daily Bugle and what he had saved in his bank account was enough for a few months' rent.

This was a huge red flag in their eyes. Eren Parker, the biggest bookworm of all time, suddenly dropping out of school was something uncharacteristic of him. He'd always overworked himself and balanced school with hero stuff, never putting one after the other.

However, this time he was suddenly throwing away his aspirations to sit at home all day and be depressed when he wasn't doing Spider-Man stuff. Harry offered Eren to at least stay at the mansion and a job at Oscorp, however, he felt weird about the idea of Harry being his boss, so he declined. He even still had the keys to the Baxter Building, but again, he didn't want to be a freeloader.

Eren checked his bank account, sighing as it began falling below triple digits. "Maybe I should take Harry's offer..." he whispered to himself before hearing a knock at his front door. The door was so low quality, that just knocking on it opened it, revealing Cindy Moon standing at the doorway with a perplexed expression.

She looked around at the dirty walls, dusty interior, and broken door with her eyebrows furrowed. She couldn't believe that this was what Eren decided to call his home.

"Are you really okay with living like this?" she asked him. She was worried about him, noticing that he was slowly going back to that depressed version of himself back in high school.

"Yeah, it's everything I need. Plus, no one can see me getting in and out of here thanks to the skylight, see?" Eren pointed up at the dirty skylight above him, one that was out of view of any building or the street below. It was perfect for Eren and Spider-Man, allowing the hero to slip out undetected.

"Seriously?" Cindy couldn't believe it. There was no way she was going to let him just live in solitary in a place like that. "Okay then. I'll be back." Cindy immediately left the apartment.

'Huh? What's she up to?' Eren thought, trying to go through his memories to see if this ever happened to any other Eren. Sadly, as things went on, the memories were starting to become less reliable as the timelines grew different. In fact, this whole apartment idea was his own, completely independent from any other timeline.

About an hour later, Cindy pushed the door open, this time she was holding a suitcase and a duffle bag with her things. "I'm moving in." she told him.

Eren leaned up out of bed with a puzzled look on his face. "Huh? Are you sure your parents are okay with this? Especially your mom?"

"Aren't you forgetting that I'm twenty years old?" Cindy dropped her things on the floor and walked over to Eren as he leaned up in his bed. Cindy jumped on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck as she admired his face. "You've been distant lately... you know I still have those urges, right?"

Cindy pushed Eren backward, causing the bed to squeak as his back slammed against it. With her hand still on his chest, Cindy leaned forward and spoke quietly to him. "And if I live here, well, I can quell those urges all I want. Right?"

"Y- Yeah." Eren wasn't expecting her to be so forward. They didn't really talk about the 'urges' very much, since they didn't really have an explanation for it and they both thought it was embarrassing that they'd occasionally get uncontrollably aroused around each other.

"But!" Cindy pressed on his chest, leaning upward before looking around at the awful apartment building. "This place is seriously killing the mood. How about we do some home improvement? Make things a bit more lively. Replace that old door."

"I don't know if that's allowed..." Eren muttered.

"I don't think your landlord cares about what happens to this place, I mean, look at it. When was the last time this place has been cleaned?" Cindy once again looked around at the dusty walls in disgust. "C'mon get up, lazy." Cindy got off the bed and yanked Eren off using her super strength. He landed on his feet, forming a smile on his face and shaking his head.

"Are you for real?" He asked her, chuckling at the absurdity of the entire situation. Her moving in, her wanting to suddenly renovate, it was all very unexpected and so sudden.

"Very. I'll go get some cleaning supplies."

It wasn't long before Cindy returned with a plethora of cleaning tools and solutions, all of the high-quality stuff to ensure the stained walls, floors, and ceiling would be cleaned. The two of them played music in the background as they began cleaning what was now their apartment room together.

They started with the floors, using mops to try and clean up all the grime before getting on all fours and cleaning the wooden floors by hand. Due to their strength, they were able to get the gunk off of the ground with ease, turning the dirty, dull, dark walnut color into a cleaner, honey color.

They then moved on to the counters, using countertop cleaner on them to remove the stains. At one point, Eren had both his arms wrapped around Cindy as they cleaned. This wasn't efficient in the slightest, but it made things a bit more fun for the two of them. They did the same strategy with the windows, as Eren used his height to reach the upper halves of them as she cleaned the lower halves beneath.

Occasionally, the two would get distracted and dance together to the music when one of their favorite songs came on. It'd been a while since Eren had been so lively. It was a side of him that she missed for a very long time.

The walls were next, and thanks to their spider powers, they were able to climb them and scrub them with ease. This was the same for the ceiling, as the two of them hung upside down whilst wiping the grime away, along with the skylight.

Once the room itself was pristine, the two of them headed out to get some housewarming objects to bring back to the apartment. Being broke college-aged young adults, they couldn't afford much, but they made do with what they could, opting for fake potted plants and some posters from Cindy's old room.

They also bought LED lights to hang on the ceiling to make the lighting seem a bit less dull and the two of them were able to get a small rug for the center of the room to put it all together.

As the two of them were close to finishing their project, Eren couldn't stop smiling, and Cindy noticed. In fact, this was the first time she saw a genuine grin from the boy, a full, shining smile. Of course, she had no clue, but he was heavily depressed as his mind was always on the future, always cycling through his memories. However, he was able to be distracted from it all that day.

With only one final step, the two of them replaced the faulty door at the room's entrance before turning around to look at their new home in its entirety. Gone were the muddy, dark floors as they were now a shiny light brown. The walls were no longer grey and stained, they were finally white as they were when the room was first built. Those mystery stains on the ceiling were also gone and the skylight was crystal clear, along with every window.

"Isn't this better?" Cindy said with her hands on both hips as her clothes were covered in dirt and dust from head to toe.

"Yeah, it is. Thank you, Cindy. I didn't realize it, but I needed that." Eren told her. He knew that the room was a mess, but he was too despairing to do anything about it. He had heard that by just cleaning one's room, their mood and outlook on life could change, and it was looking to be true as he too looked around the room with his body also covered in dust.

Cindy smiled at him, being able to sense just how much his mood had changed due to her powers. "Anything for you." she told him with that grin still on her face. However, that sweet, innocent grin on her face soon transformed into a more mischievous-looking one as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. "What do you say we get cleaned up together?" she asked him, no longer being able to fight back the feeling of their spider powers interacting and multiplying their already high levels of attraction to the other by a thousand.

"You read my mind." Eren told her before lifting her up and carrying her to the bathroom.

It wasn't long before the two of them were completely naked in the shower, caressing each other's soapy bodies as they swapped tongues whilst shrouded in steam. As they kissed passionately beneath the hot water raining down on them, Cindy began rubbing her lover's shaft, feeling it enlarge in her hand until it reached its full size.

"I want you to fuck me." Cindy whispered, looking up at her lover with wanting eyes.

"The walls are thin... the neighbors will hear us." Eren was a little embarrassed about that fact, however, it was clear by Cindy's expression that she couldn't care less at the moment.

"𝙇𝙚𝙩 them listen." she whispered.

Without saying a word, Eren lifted her up and pressed her against the wall, compelling her to wrap both arms around his back, along with her legs, as he began sliding his manhood inside her slowly.

"Nngh~ ah, fuck!" Cindy mewled in her lover's ear as he began moving his hips back and forth, getting a bit more assertive with each stroke to the point where Cindy was completely immobilized against the shower wall.

"ohmygod- Yes!" Cindy began digging her nails into her partner's back as he continued to fill her with his manhood, holding her in his embrace against the wall. She then held his face with both hands, pulling him toward her before the two locked lips once more and moaned together. "Mmhmm..." their passionate moans were muted by each other's mouths.

Cindy's body started to shudder as her lover began touching just the right spots. This was something she'd longed for. Feeling his touch, feeling him inside of her, tasting him... she was craving it.

On the other hand, Eren was doing his best to try and please her as much as possible while also trying to savor each intimate moment as if it could be their last. He pulled back from her, looking into her eyes as he continued to move back and forth inside her before whispering to her, "I love you, so much."

Cindy looked back at him, not breaking eye contact for even a second before repeating it back to him. "I love you so fucking much. God, I missed you." she told him before grabbing his neck and pulling him in close to kiss him once again.

Wanting to change things up, Eren turned her around and pressed her breasts against the wall before entering her from behind. His thighs hitting her soft cheeks could be heard along with water crashing as he continued to pleasure her from behind. Cindy moaned, "ah-ah-ah-fuck-Eren..." as she felt his manhood pressing against her womb with each forward motion.

Sensing that Cindy was close, Eren grabbed both of her arms and began delivering deeper, longer, and faster strokes. As soon as he started picking up speed, Cindy began to shudder again, muttering breathlessly, "I'm c- cumming! Nya~!"

Eren could feel her warm womanhood grip him tightly as she climaxed. "Aaaaah~ Nnnnnh~" Cindy let out a few soft, passionate moans as she finished and Eren paused to allow her to catch her breath.

Using her webs, Cindy formed a small hammock behind her lover before pushing him back onto it. Her shoving him so suddenly surprised him, as he didn't even notice her forming the bed of webs behind him. Before he could process what was happening, Cindy got on top of him and started riding him, slipping him all the way inside of her in one swift motion.

As if she were completely consumed by passion, Cindy started moving herself up and down fiercely to the point where the web hammock was beginning to tense up due to the pressure.

The webs weren't the only thing feeling tense under the pressure, as Eren began to feel overwhelmed by his lover's movements. He usually was silent during their sinful acts, however, he couldn't hold it back any longer. "Haah! Ah!" he began letting out breathless groans as Cindy continued riding him as if her life depended on it.

Cindy's movements grew more fierce by the moment as her breasts began to bounce merrily with each hip movement. Cindy couldn't help herself, she began to moan even louder, so loud that even if the walls weren't thin, the neighbors would definitely be able to hear her. "Mmmh. Aaaah, fuck! You feel so fucking good!"

Eren tried to remind her, "They're gonna-", but before the words could leave his mouth, Cindy webbed his lips shut.

"Shhhhh." she sounded, placing a single finger over his webbed mouth as she proceeded to ride him. She then placed one of her hands on his heart, feeling it race faster than she'd ever felt it before. She giggled, "Don't pretend like this doesn't excite you. I can sense your feelings, remember?" she teased as she continued moving her hips up and down.

Her lips began to quiver as she started feeling overwhelmed with pleasure once again. "And- that means I get to feel 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖 good when I'm with you."

The two of them went at it for a while, for so long that they lost track of time.

Eren was shocked by the end of it. She was usually so shy and reserved in every other aspect of her life, but as soon as she allowed those urges to take over, she was like a wild animal. A beast that could not be tamed.

He'd be lying to himself if he said he didn't love it.
