A.N: Hey people. It's me again. This story is really my first try at writing SNK fics and I'd really like to know what you think. I was going to make this a long oneshot but then I thought about updating one 'first' everyday and I decided to do that.
First
The first time they meet, Levi is not amused.
Eren is sixteen and he's drifting smoothly through his sophomore year. High school, specially in public schools, is a complete mess. Just like every other year, people just don't give a fuck about Eren Jaegar or anyone else but themselves and their own little groups, living their own lives and complaining loudly on the hallways about their breakups as if the world just ended. It's kind of pathetic really, he thinks, how they care more about who's fucking who rather than thinking about what the fuck they're going to do with their lives in the future. But he doesn't really care about others. He's here to study, to get a college degree and be able to get an actual job so he can pay rent and his mother's cancer treatment.
He enters the classroom as the bell rings and starts taking out his notebook, not giving a second glance to the others around him. He sits down in his chair and finally looks up at the front of the class. He frowns in confusion.
There's a strange man standing before the class, looking down at everyone as if he's accessing them. He's short, shorter than Eren himself, but his stance gives off superiority. His short black hair stands out against his pale skin and the gray shirt makes his eyes seem almost silver. He's wearing a black leather jacket and dark blue jeans and holy shit, he looks good.
"My name is Levi," the man says "and I'll be your substitute teacher for the next two weeks, seeing as your regular teacher is planning to retire and the school hasn't found anyone for the spot yet. So I'm here. And that's all." He turns and walks to the board, picking up a chalk and starting his class.
Twenty minutes in and Eren's bored out of his mind. He had read ahead and taken notes when his mom made him stop using his computer. He had finished his homework and, having nothing better to do since his friend Armin was at his grandparents' house and his sister Mikasa didn't live with him and his mom anymore, he thought he'd give it a try. He sighed, leaning his head on his hand and fiddling with his pencil.
"Oi, you brat!" He heard and looked up. The man, Levi, was glaring at him "Pay attention. What's the name of the US general that lead the military in the Revolutionary War?"
"Er… George Washington?" Eren hesitantly replies.
Surprise flickers across the man's face for a second before it's replaced by irritation and then a glare.
"Right. But don't think you don't need to pay attention just because you answered correctly." He turned back to the board and continued his class.
Eren shrank back in his seat as all the students looked at him and whispered to each other. He picked his pencil back up and looked back at the board, trying to ignore everyone else.
