Bonjour mes amis! FictionLover here with a pet project that has been stuck in my head for a week, ever since my friend introduced me to the AoT/SnK fandom, and the Anime fandom in general. I'm still watching AoT, so I apologize in advance if any of the characters are too OOC. Just let me know, and I'll try and fix it in later chapters.

I'm planning on this being a 10 chapter fic, but this isn't high on my priority list, as I'm still trying to get out of my writer's block for my other stories like "Trailer" and "All's Fair in Love and War". Anyways' I hope you enjoy this in the meantime. Bye!

Chapter 1: Welcome to Kyojin

Eren Jaeger glanced nervously up at the large building before him. The Kyojin Academy of Arts certainly lived up to it's name. As Eren walked inside, he was not surprised to see the interior almost as grand as the exterior decorated with various versions of student visual arts over the years, many of which featured large, nude subjects.

He quickly found the admissions office, and was greeted by a middle-aged woman with short hair and a mouth too big for her face. She looked up at him and said "Can I help you?"

Eren took a deep breath. "Uh, yes. My name is Eren Jaeger, I just transferred here today from Trost Arts, and I was told I could pick up my schedule here?""

She smiled, making her mouth seem even bigger. "Of course, let me just check my files."

She turned and looked in a relatively large file to the side, and flipped through various sections. She glanced up after a few seconds. "How do you spell your last name?"

Eren replied "J-A-E-G-E-R, but sometimes people spell it with a Y instead of a J, for some weird reason."

"Jaeger...Jaeger...ah ha! Here it is, and here you go! Oh my, Stage Craft and HL Visual Arts! Well done, you'll be in some of the most sought-after classes on campus!"

"Thanks, I guess. One more question, where can I find the nurse's office? I'm pretty accident-prone and I just...yeah." He finished lamely.

"Of course. The nurse's office is in the same hall as the cafeteria, just on the other side of the courtyard. You'll recognize it by the floor-to-ceiling crystal wall."

"Great, thank you so much."

"You're welcome, and good luck!"

Eren walked out of the office, and followed the brass signs posted on the wall corners to the boy's dormitories. "Room 104...room 104...102...103...104. Right, here it is."

He pushed open the door, to reveal a room with four beds elevated to head level, and four desks placed under the beds. Two of the beds and desks had personal items on them, but the others were bare. Eren picked the bare bed closest to the window, and put his backpack down on the desk. He just went to look out the window when a bell rang, and the door behind him was pushed open.

Eren turned around to see two tall guys walk in. They stop, and stare for a few seconds, before one, the shorter of the two, blond and blue eyes, steps forward.

"Hi! I'm Reiner Braun, and this is Bertolt Hoover. You must be our new roommate."

"Uh, yeah. I'm Eren. Eren Jaeger."

"Nice to meet you Eren. Now listen, there's two rules you need to know. One, if you have anything illegal, share it, and don't ever try to bring a girl in here. If you understand that, we're cool."

Eren nodded. "The second one won't be a problem. I'm gay. If you understand that, we're cool."

Bertolt and Reiner looked at each other in surprise. Eren frowned.

"What?"

Reiner looked back at Eren. "Nothing. Bertolt and I are in a relationship, so yeah, that's fine. Now, you hungry? I think there's left overs in the fridge in the commons."

"Sure, yeah, I could do with some food."

The three boys walked out of the room, and Bertolt asked "So Eren, what classes are you in?"

Eren pulled out the schedule he had gotten earlier. "Let's see. I have On-level Mathematics, Modern Dance, Studio Art, Advanced English, and Art History on A days, and on B days, I have HL Visual Arts, Cosmetology, Studio Jazz, and Intermediary Jazz Dance."

Reiner whistled, "Dang, if I didn't know any better, I would say you're suicidal to take all those."

"Yeah maybe. I got nicknamed the suicidal bastard by my classmates in Trost, because I performed a flip from the top of the gated wall around the school on a dare."

"Really?" Reiner asked.

"Yeah."

"Remind me to never play Truth or Dare with you."

"Hey look, it's Ymir and Annie." Bertolt pointed out. Eren looked to see two girls, one blonde and one brunette, who appeared to be locked in a Grumpy Cat impressions contest.

"Hey guys!" Bertolt waved. The brunette looked up. "This is our new roommate, Eren. Eren, this is Ymir and Annie."

The girls observed Eren, he felt like he was a piece of meat.

The boys pulled up chairs, and Reiner found some food.

"So Eren..." Reiner asked. "...Why did you transfer to Kyojin?"

Eren paused. "I was attacked in my dorm room."

He was met with four shocked stares. Annie tilted her head. "Wait, were you that student that was in the news? You came out on social media, and were attacked by some of the upperclassmen. I heard that it was attempted murder."

"Yeah, I came out to some friends, and they were all really supportive, so I posted on the Internet a photo of me and my now ex-boyfriend at a Pride parade. Some people took it the wrong way, and they broke into my dorm. They cuffed me to the bed, and took turns breaking various bones. One of them pulled out a gun, when a professor came in with cops. I was in the hospital for over a month before I could actually talk to another person who knew I was gay without flinching. My parents decided to transfer me out of the school immediately, but they couldn't afford to transfer my sister as well, so it's just me. Mikasa can handle herself though."

Ymir whistled. "What happened to the upperclassmen?"

Eren was silent for a moment. "Two were arrested, for having a gun on campus. The rest got off with a slap on the wrist, mostly because they could afford it. No one was convicted of assault."

Both Reiner and Annie looked pissed. Ymir shrugged and said "That sucks, I'm sorry."

Annie looked down at her hands. "What about your sister? Mikasa, was it?"

Eren smiled a bit. "Mikasa, yeah, she's um...she's a piece of work. My parents adopted her when we were seven, her parents were killed in a home invasion, and I was the one to find her. So we took her in and the rest is history, really. However, she now has a thing about not being able to protect her family, so she took a lot of defense classes, from taekwando and judo to stick fighting. She's also a great gymnast, so no guy, or girl, is willing to mess with her, in fear of bodily harm. Me on the other hand...I can throw a punch, but that's about it."

Reiner rubbed his face and said "Damn, well...I guess we'll just have to change that, won't we?"

Eren looked confused. "What?"

Bertolt smirked and said "Annie over there is the National Teenage Mixed Martial Artist Champion, second year running."

Reiner grinned. "If she teaches you to fight, then if that ever happens again, you'll kick some serious ass!"

"Oh, no, I don't think that..."

"Shut up, you don't get a choice. 7 pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays, for two hours in the gym. Don't be late, and come prepared." Annie practically ordered.

"Um...okay then. Thanks!"

She nodded. The five sat in silence for a few moments, before Bertolt jumped up and said "Hey, why don't we go show Eren where his classes are?"

Reiner nodded and got up. "Yeah, c'mon Eren. Let's go. So, what's your schedule again?"

"Uh, hang on. Okay so...On-level Mathematics, Modern Dance, Studio Art, Advanced English, and Art History on A days, and on B days, I have HL Visual Arts, Cosmetology, Studio Jazz, and Intermediary Jazz Dance."

Bertolt nodded and said. "Well the school layout is really easy once you get used to it. There are three wings, connected by the main building. Wing A is where the generic classes are taught, History, Math, and whatnot. Wing B, that's where the auditorium and other showcase rooms are, and Wing C is where the specialty classrooms are. The A day/B day schedule works like this. in one week, the next week. That way we'll never have two A days or two B days in a row. However, if classes are cancelled for a day, the day schedule doesn't change. The generic classes are only half an hour long, and homework is almost never given, because the teachers know that you aren't here to get a math or science degree, the school just wants you to maintain those skills. Specialty classes are different. The dance classes are usually two hours, and sometimes extra practices are called before school hours and after. No teacher, however, is allowed to impede on a student's weekends. Saturday's are when students work on their final pieces for the student showcase at the end of each semester, and Sunday's are off-campus days, since this is a boarding school. They wouldn't want us getting BORED would they?"

Reiner groaned at the word play. "Bertolt, just...no."

Eren smirked at the two, watching their interaction. "So how log have you been dating?"

Bertolt blushed and said "Almost five years."

Eren whistled. "Damn, my longest relationship was two months. I can't imagine five years. How do you..."

"It helps that he's my best friend." Reiner replied, looking at Bertolt. Bertolt blushed.

Eren smiled. Bertolt turned around and said "Oh, by the way Eren? Welcome to Kyojin."
