Eyes of sparkling emerald, full of admiration and devotion, was all Levi could think about. He never had a student to become so engrossed in his boring lectures before. Most of his college students thought that taking art class means they get to goof off and not learn a thing. Eren however, lit up every time he walked in the art studio, eager to learn about techniques and historical artists.

Levi sighed and shook his head, trying not think so fondly of his student. He wrapped his fingers around the warm mug sitting on his desk and touched it to his lips, moaning slightly at the taste of coffee, his eyes closed in bliss.

As soon as Eren walked into the art studio, he saw his teacher's lips pressed against a mug and quietly moaning. Butterflies filled his stomach and he felt a bulge growing in his pants. He quickly paced to his usual seat and sat down, hoping it would hide his growing erection. "G-good morning, sir."

At the sound of his favorite student's quiet voice, he looked up. "Good morning, Eren." He tilted his head to the side and wondered why the usually loud and happy student was suddenly quiet. "Are you okay this morning?"

The brunette felt his face turn red and looked down at his hands in his lap, praying Levi didn't see. "Yes sir." He squirmed in his seat, feeling sharp eyes watching his every movement.

Levi's eyes widened as he saw the younger boy blush and look down shyly. He didn't want to pry into the boy's personal life, but he truly did care for him and didn't want anything to be wrong. When he saw Eren shifting in his seat uncomfortably, he thought it best to let him talk if he wanted to talk instead of putting his nose where it shouldn't be. "Well, if there's anything you need to talk to someone about, you can always talk to me. No pressure."

He watched as Eren's shoulders relaxed some and could barely hear him whisper. "I know." Levi knew something was going on, but he tried to bite his tongue from asking. He glanced down at his watch and noted that it was way too early for class to start. "Jaeger, why don't we go to the teacher's room, I'm sure there are some sweets there. I haven't eaten breakfast yet." He stood up and walked over to the door, coffee in hand, and waited on his student.

Eren was glad when his teacher didn't press the issue further. Now that his body calmed down some, he stood up and followed after the older man. They walked side by side, arms occasionally brushing, down the corridor. His heart quickened each time he felt Levi's touch.

After a couple flights of stairs and a few long corridors later, his teacher pushed open a wooden door, revealing an elegant kitchen. Eren looked around and gasped quietly when he spied lemon danishes. He looked up at Levi for some sort of permission. Once he saw the man nod, he took off towards the basket of danishes and put one in his mouth and one in each hand, munching away happily.

Levi watched the boy's eyes light up when they walked in. Those shining eyes met with his and he simply nodded, letting the boy know he could get whatever he wanted. Ironically, Eren chose one of the things that he always gets in the morning. He watched the brunette shove one in his mouth and put one in both hands and chewed with a content look on his face. Levi chuckled and thought it was way too cute. He walked over and grabbed one for himself and then opened the fridge to grab a small bottle of chocolate milk, handing it to Eren.

Eren sighed happily as he finished off one danish and started on the next. He grinned when he looked up and saw Levi with chocolate milk in his hand, holding it out towards him. He took it greedily and washed down the remains of the pastry. "Thank you." He followed the older man to a dining table and sat down. Eren peeked up at his teacher through his eyelashes and watched the man eat his danish with a classy manor, and blushed when he remembered how he scarfed his down.

He could feel those green eyes piercing him and looked up to see the boy across from him turn red for the second time. He couldn't help but chuckle. He raised a hand and leaned forward, reaching his hand up he brushed the crumbs off from Eren's bottom lip. He's never felt lips so soft. As soon as Levi brought his hand back, he saw Eren sink his teeth into his lip and turn a deeper shade of red.

His teacher was going to make his heart burst. Eren looked into the man's eyes and his breathy question came out before he could stop it. "What was that for, Mr. Ackerman?" He froze in horror at how needy he sounded. Oh God, was that really his voice? He looked down at the table in an attempt to hide his embarrassment.

Levi rose an eyebrow at the way the brunette asked the question. "You had crumbs on your lip." He saw the boy's shoulders slump and his ears turn red, he also noted the dejected expression on his face. Trying not to think too hard on it, he decided to change the subject. "Why do you like art class so much?"

Judging by the panicked look on Eren's face, he thought maybe he changed from a bad subject to a worse one. Why is this kid acting so odd lately? "Eren, it's not a big question. Tell me what you like about it. As your teacher, I sincerely want to know."

Eren felt like dying of embarrassment. His teacher saw crumbs on him and then he mistook the touch for something else. And to top it off, he asked the worst question possible. He closed his eyes and calmed down. "You make ordinary things become breathtaking. You're passion for your art drives my passion as well. As soon as you start talking about a painting or drawing you've seen, your whole face lights up and it makes my own heart pound with every word." By the time he was done talking, he realized with dread, that he spoke the truth. He let the truth slip out to the one person he didn't want to know. He may as well confess his feelings while he's at it.

His heart pounding in his ears, Eren excused himself and rushed out of the room, not daring to look back. He didn't want to see the expression his teacher was making.

Levi's blood rushed to his face at hearing the soft spoken words come from the usually confident boy. Never has he gotten such a compliment before. To think that those big green eyes see things as breathtaking because of him... He felt his heart throb. Before he could reply, the boy took off out of the room. Since his break up with Erwin, his coworker, his heart hasn't pounded erratically, not like it is now. All because of a few words from his student...
