Cupid Part 1 Hidden Glances
Summary
Mikasa was a normal high school girl until her boyfriend at the time Jean Kirstein got her pregnant. What made matters worse was that he dumped her as soon as he found out leaving her to bring up her son Levi alone with her parents help of course. Levi is now 10 years old and wants his mum to be happy so he hatches a plan to get his football coach Eren with her.
Levi loves his mum a lot and he hears her crying a lot when she's at home she's not dated since Levi was born Levi wants her to meet someone. She's been coming to his football games and she loves watching him but he's noticed she gets distracted sometime.
The first time Eren and Mikasa crossed paths is at Levi's first football match of the year she's watching her son he's a great player by what she can see she also notices he's close to his coach they seem to get on well together and when she first looks at him she's stunned he's so attractive and he has a lot of muscles.
She can see he's gorgeous not that she can really judge she hasn't dated since Jean maybe she should she watches him and she can't look away. Eren sees her and he' shocked he's seen her around before she must be one of the parents but she's always alone either the dads busy working or just can't be bothered to watch his kid.
Or there's another possibility that she's a single parent for her to be alone is just weird if she was his he'd never leave her alone she's drop dead gorgeous beautiful black short hair nice body from what he can see he wonders who her kid is well he has 11 chances of getting it right.
He notices her watching the kids but there's something about her she's not as animated as the other parents and she seems kind of sad she looks lonely also he sighs a woman that beautiful shouldn't be alone.
She notices she's being watched and she smiles she doesn't know it's actually the coach but she hopes it is. She thinks he could have any women he wanted so why is he staring at her she's nothing special she's a single mum her even though her friend Annie tells her she's gorgeous she doesn't think so. He looks away and back to the game and then she starts watching him again.
This game they both play goes on for many months he glances at her then she glances at him they occasionally glance at each other at the same time but they just smile and look away. Eventually Levi notices the glances and he's happy at that he won't say anything of course he just watches and smiles.
He never knew his dad and his mum never speaks about him but what he did to her he doesn't want to know him he knows his name he's never met or wants to meet him. He hears her cry does she miss his dad he doubts it she wouldn't glance at Coach Eren if she did.
He has asked her before if she missed his dad and she always laughs and says she'd be glad if she never saw him ever again not that she has since he dumped her. If it's not sadness about his dad then why does she cry? She never tells him it makes him sad and also annoys him. He wants her to be happy like his friend's parents are they all have fathers and he's never had one. He smiles she does look at Coach Eren a lot and he looks at her a lot also.
The next day after another night of his mum's crying he knocks on Coach Eren's office. When Eren opens the door he's surprised to see Levi there he smiles "Hey what's up Levi" Levi sighs "Coach can I talk to you" Eren smiles "OK Levi come in."
Eren sits behind his desk and Levi sits on a chair" When Levi's settled Eren smiles "Talk Away Kiddo" Levi's only 10 so he's not very subtle he just comes out with it "Coach do you like my mum" Eren has heard a lot of weird things but from Levi never he's shocked "Excuse me."
Levi smiles "Your always staring at my mum during the matches and she stares at you to so do you like her" Eren smirks "That's your mum damn why didn't I guess that you both being Japanese and all wait who put you up to this Levi."
Levi sighs "Nobody put me up to this mum's sad a lot she needs a man in her life" Eren rolls his eyes "Levi your 10 years old how do you know about all this romance stuff" Levi smiles "Mrs Hangi told us she's a weird teacher but she's funny also but she tells us weird things about mating and weird stuff" Eren sighs "Hangi's an odd duck take no notice of what she says" Levi sighs "But coach I want my mum to be happy can't you make her happy."
Eren chuckles "Where's your father Levi" Levi shrugs "No idea never met him I know his name but I hate him for dumping mum when she was pregnant with me. She hates him to so do you like her or not" Eren smiles "Your mum is a nice lady she's very beautiful women but it's complicated Levi" Levi sighs "Fine can I go then" Eren nods "Off you go don't tell anyone what you told me Levi."
Levi nods "OK coach" He leaves as soon as the door closes Eren bangs his head on the table several times then he smiles the women he's been staring at is Levi's mum there both Japanese why didn't he think about that he laughs "Damn Levi the cheek of you do I like your mum" He smiles He does she's beautiful.
He sighs "It must be tough bringing up a kid all by yourself especially Levi of all kids then he sighs who would dump a girlfriend when he finds out she's pregnant that's just wrong. Just then a face pops into his head his arch nemesis from school Jean Kirstein he'd probably do a wicked thing like that although he hopes he didn't.
When Levi gets home he sighs and goes to his room to start on his homework. Later on and he and his mum are finishing off there tea when Levi sighs "Mum" She looks up from her plate "Yes baby" He smiles "Do you like Coach Eren" She's about to drink her cup of tea but stops just in front of her mouth "What did you just say" He smiles "Do you like Coach Eren."
She's stunned "What are you talking about" He smirks "I've seen you both staring at each other I think it's funny he looks at you then you look at him you do it all the time" She's stunned "Levi" He smiles "What your always sad and that makes me sad you like him and I think he likes you I like him also he's a cool coach so you two should get together."
She sighs "Levi were not having this discussion go and finish your homework" He sighs "Fine" He walks away and she hears him walking up the stairs and she waits for his door to close before she burst out laughing.
She smiles "Does he like me" Then she continues drinking her tea" She can't believe Levi would say a thing like that it was indeed a surprise. A day later and she sees Eren in town there both in the same supermarket.
She's never actually spoken to him before but she wants to ask him some questions. Eren's in the supermarket when he sees Mrs Ackerman it's packed today so he can't exactly run away from her. She stops next to him "Coach Eren isn't it" he nods "Yes Mrs Ackerman how's Levi today."
She smiles "He's good he's at his grandparents today so is your surname Eren" He smiles "No it's actually Eren Yeager" She smiles "So why call yourself Coach Eren then" He smiles "Oh Mr Yeager's my dad I like to make it different" She smiles "So Coach Eren" He nods "Exactly" She smiles "Doing some shopping."
He nods "I am I need ice cream" She smiles "You're in the right aisle" He nods "Yes that's always good" They both try and speak at the same time. He smiles "You first" She smiles "Oh OK Levi knows that we you know" Eren nods "Stare at each other" He bites his lip "He spoke to me yesterday seems he wants us to get together it was kind of weird his exact words were but coach I want my mum to be happy can't you make her happy."
She puts a hand over her mouth "Oh my awkward" He nods "Tell me about it" She sighs "He spoke to me to". He nods "Oh really what did he say" He said that I like you and you like me and he likes you to so we should get together."
He smirks "Little Cupid aye well this is awkward" She smiles "I agree" He doesn't know what to say he's kind of embarrassed he sighs" Well I better be going nice talking to you" He quickly leaves before she can say anything he hasn't bought anything he just gets into his car and drives away. She sighs he didn't even buy anything she sighs again probably not the best place for a chat she sighs and continues shopping he never denied her though so does he actually like her.
When Eren gets home well his home for another week that is he's planning on moving to a nicer area he's already been shown a nice house and seen pictures from inside and he liked it a lot seemed very nice a lot better than his current rented place. He sits down and sighs all he's thought about is the chat with Levi and about her now they finally spoke and he liked her voice plus her smile.
She seemed nice much more beautiful closer up he smiles the chat with Levi was extremely awkward then he spoke to his mum that must have been funny well not for her that is. He has to admit he does like her she's totally gorgeous he's not dated for a while he likes her a lot actually he can't take his eyes off of her does she feel the same way.
He wonders what it would be like to hold her in his arms and kiss her he bets it would feel nice. He takes a shower maybe that will help clear his head the hotter the better. When he gets out 20 minutes later he sighs "Dammit no ice cream he gets changed and goes to the corner shop and he buys some not as much variety but mint chocolate chip will do.
When Mikasa gets home she puts the shopping away she can hear music coming from Levi's room he must be back home. She leaves him to it she goes into the kitchen and starts to make herself some hot chocolate when she's made herself some she lies down on the couch she takes a few sips before putting the mug down on the coffee table then she smiles that's the closest they've been to each other he's a lot hotter close up then she smiles she can't believe Levi's spoken to both of them just what is he up to.
She then remembers how awkward the chat they had in the supermarket was but she has to admit to herself she does like him not that she'd ever tell her son that she likes him a lot he's so gorgeous his tanned skin his muscles his scruffy hair and his eyes wow they were hard to ignore it was hard to focus on anything other than his eyes.
She then smiles and wonders what it would be like to kiss him and wrap her arms around him she bets it would feel nice nobody since Jean has made her think this way. She smiles then if she did date someone Levi would have to like them if they got serious that is. Then she remembers what Levi said you like him he likes you and I like him so get together she starts giggling at that. "If only it was that simple" Levi leans over the couch and smiles "If only what was so simple mum".
She smiles "Never you mind do you want some Hot Chocolate baby" He smiles "Of course I do who do you think I am" She smiles "You really want me to answer that" He smiles "What do you mean" She smiles "I think you're a nosy person that's what" He smiles "But I'm your baby" She smiles "So you are."
She then smiles She goes into the kitchen and makes him some hot chocolate then she starts watching him he likes Coach Eren or Coach Yeager so does she but how would it work she only sees him at football practice and the games it's not as if she can just walk up to him and say hey I like you and you like me so let's get together. She smiles at that.
