Eren's day just couldn't get any worse. This was most likely due to the fact that he had, had academic subjects all day. Four periods of absolute torture.

When the ball rang, signalling the end of English, he managed to out everything away in record time. As much as he loved his English teacher, he loathed the subject.

Eren's English teacher was a small, cute woman by the name of Ms, Ral. Eren would definitely have the crush on the teacher, if he swung that was, of course.

Eren was gay. You wouldn't think so at first, but he was definitely gay. He first admitted his feelings to the very teacher that stood before him, a smile beaming from her lips.

He was in an after school revision session about three months ago with Ms, Ral and she had noticed something unusual about Eren's usually bubbly behaviour.

*flashback*

"What's wrong Eren?" the strawberry blonde questioned, a soothing coat to her voice.

"…"

She looked concerned but would push any further if Eren didn't want her to. "It's okay if yo-"

"No…" Eren cut off leaving the petite teacher taken aback. "Sorry, it's just I'm confused"

Ms Ral just sat there looking at Eren with a supportive smile.

"I-I think…" Eren stuttered, barely audible "I think, I'm gay" he confessed, his words wavered with worry and fright.

The woman just smiled back. "Oh Eren, don't worry" she chimed, leaning over to give him a hug and a pat on the back, "does anyone else know?" the cute teacher replied, seriously.

Eren shook his head

"Do you plan on letting anyone else know?" she asked, the same seriousness in her tone.

Eren just shrugged, "I-I don't know… I am just telling myself, let alone other people"

"Well you told me" she immediately stated, her usual informal grin stretching across her face again. "Tell you what Eren, I can call up your parents so we can talk about it together" Her eyes beamed once more at her 'wonderful' idea.

"Thank you but, my mother passed when I was 10 and my dad took off soon after her death" Eren admitted with a sorrowed aura on his voice. He looked up at Ms Ral who was still devoting all of her attention to the brunette's sad past. "I lived with my adoptive sister until, well… now" Eren choked back the words holding back his emotion.

Regret flashed across the English teachers eyes. "Oh… I'm sorry Eren I di-"

"No, no" Eren Jeager interrupted. "How were you supposed to know?" He paused to look up at the guilty teacher. "Seriously Ms Ral it's fine" Eren said in a warming, comforting tone. He stood up and brushed his hand through his hair, pausing when he saw the time on the clock opposite him on the wall. "Oh my, is that the time? I have to be on my way now" the brunette said, in a scared tone, accidently.

The woman saw his reaction to the time and get terribly concerned "are you okay Eren?" the strawberry blond queried.

Eren choked a little at this unexpected question, "sorry it's just, I don't feel all too well" he said swaying a little at the end.

"Maybe you should go home, Eren" she replied back, her words showing her genuine worry for the boy.

The brunette shook his head, forcing a smile on his face, "I only have art last and we have, Erd"

"I can email him saying you are not feeling well"

"Thank you, but it won't be necessary, it's one of my best subjects," he stated proudly, returning back to his usual, cool, calm and collected self

"So I don't want to miss a lesson "She let off a gentle, yet testing smile. "I don't understand why that man makes people call him by his first name, it's so strange but funny" she let out a giggle.

"Maybe he is trying to be 'down with the kids'" Eren said laughing out a single huff of air.

*end of flashback*

Ms Ral gave Eren a warm smile as he walked towards her, remembering what they talked about a couple of months back. "Eren, can I have a words please" She asked, still smiling, as the boy still neared.

Pushing his bangs out of his face Eren nodded, also smiling, and walked to her side, grabbing his backpack straps between his fingers. "What's up Ms Ral?"

"How is everything Eren? Have you told anyone about… you know" She asked obviously not wanting to the word

"My sexuality?" the brunette finished off her sentence. "No, not yet. There has been no right time to" he said looking down at his shoes.

She noticed his shy gesture and assured him that this was not something to rush. "So, Eren…" she finally asked "Found anyone for your liking?"

A bright pink dusting scattered across Eren's cheeks, luckily it was hidden by his fringe, "n-no, not y-yet Ms…" he choked out his words, looking her in the eyes before his eyes shot back down to his, rather interesting, shoes.

Ms Ral let out a shy giggle which caught Eren by surprise, deepening his blush. "You're in art right?" she asked, twiddling her thumbs

Eren though for a moment then nodded back enthusiastically.

The strawberry blonde shot him a worried look "well… good luck" she said before greeting the students of her next class who eagerly awaited by the door.

The brunette didn't dare ask her what she meant so he decided to just try and forget. But loads of thoughts circled his mind like 'what if something has happened to Erd' or 'did something happen to the art department'. He shrugged the bad thoughts off because if it would be that serious then wouldn't it have been on the news or something. When Eren turned the corner near art, his heart raced so fast he could hear the blood rush in his ears.

Eren pushed the class room door open, taking of his bag and jacket simultaneously. The door stopped half way causing Eren's head to jolt forward and hit his head on the doors brass handles. His nose took the brunt of the hit as his arms were locked behind him as he was shrugging his jacket off. After cursing under his breath, clutching his nose, he noticed the door was now fully open and a figure was stood in the frame.

He took a moment to look at the person who stood in the door way. He was a small man with sharp detailed features. He had stern grey eyes that had no emotion what so ever. The man had charcoal black hair that was styles into an undercut, it was wet too. 'Why on Earth is his hair wet?' Eren questioned himself.

After a moment realisation dawned on him and his teal eyes lit up in fear. Eren looked down at the floor to see a smashed porcelain cup with thick black coffee pooling around it. 'Oh shit,' Eren though 'I just made him spill his coffee'.

"What the hell, brat!" the man said, anger practically radiating off him.

Eren was simply stunned and could not seem to form words. A sharp pain shot through his nose, the brunette pulled his hands away to see them cupping a puddle of deep crimson. Just at the sight the brunette felt queasy and wobbled on the spot. The corners of his eyes grew dark and light faded, fast.
