Note: This is my first Fanfiction, so I would love advice! This might turn M, but as it is, it will stay as T. Might be a bit short, oops!

"YOU FORGOT TOO?!" I snapped at Mikasa. My sister was usually good at keeping up with work and projects, unlike me. Though, for some reason, her and I forgot about the about the last project of the year in that class. Mikasa and I both major in music, but for different reasons. I love to do performing arts, and she likes to be behind the scenes working on stage tech. Together, we decided that both of us should take a class together, a class on music theory. An hour before this class, I remembered about this project, so had the opportunity to get something turned in. I raced into my room and hopped on the computer.
Then Armin, my roommate, walks in, "Looks like late homework again, huh?"
"I just forgot about this project due in an hour. Ugh, can you just leave me alone to work on this? I'm stressed enough as it is." Then he left into his room and left me to work.
I ran into class with my half-assed paper in hand. I sprinted down the hall into the classroom and placed the paper on my professor's desk. As I sat down, I noticed that the horse-faced douche walked in. His lover, Marco, was in this class. I don't know what Marco could possibly see in him, Marco could do so much better. He is so nice and considerate and Jean is just… Jean. Also, Jean's life goal is apparently to make my life as hard as he can make it within his power.
"Jaeger! Forgot to do your work again? Or, or did your sister do it for you?" all I did was stand there giving him a glare.
"As a matter of fact, he did it on his own. So ease up asshole," Mikasa says as she walks in. "Or do you need to be taught another lesson?"
Jean backs up, then whispers to me, "Can't keep hiding under the protection of your sister, can you?" He snickered and then left. Just then, Professor Erwin walks in.
"I know it's the end of the year and none of you are excited to pay attention to class today, so I will dismiss you all." There was a long pause, "Class dismissed" he shouted impatiently. We all walked out of the of the classroom and i met Mikasa. We had decided upon going to a cafe that we always go to because our friend Ymir, worked there. That gave us a discount, and most of the time we were broke.
In the cafe, i studied for a couple classes because we had tests, then I got stopped by a man. Probably in his mid-thirties.
"Hey, ya have a few yen you could spare? I'm only a couple short," he asked in a soothing voice. I handed him the money without saying something, but i couldn't help but stare at his eyes. They were such an intense grey.
The vivid eyes looked at me with deep bags underneath them, "Thanks, I owe you one." All I could do is nod my head as he walked away. He carried himself well, with confidence. With his chest held high, he back to Ymir and ordered his coffee.
All I was thinking at the time was, "This man seems to be unaffected by his height." He was probably only 160 cm.
"Eren? Eren! EREN!" Then I looked back at Mikasa, who happened to be yelling my name. "God, did you space out or something? Anyways, I need to start getting to work, my shift's in an hour. See you later?"
Yeah, yeah. See ya," I replied as if I were listening. As soon as she left, I opened up my book. Not to read it, but to use as an opportunity to get quick glances at the gorgeous man without making it obvious. Though soon, my stomach dropped. A young woman walks in and sits down with the man. Probably also in her thirties, she wore a high, messy ponytail. She pushes up her thin-framed glasses and started laughing. She had such a wide smile. They made such a good couple... it made me jealous. Why couldn't I be in a good relationship with a gorgeous man like him.
As the woman is telling this story, as far as I could tell, the man's eyes wander. After examining the room, he sets his eyes on me. I blushed, but it seemed as if he were fixed upon me. I looked in to my book, but I couldn't help but to check if he was still looking. He was…
Later on, the woman leaves. The man's grey eyes followed her out until she went out the door. As the door shuts, he opens up a notebook and pencil. All he did for a bit, was write and write. I felt the need to know what he was writing in the large notebook he had. I wanted to know so badly, what could someone like him be doing with that? Then he looks up, and at me. He gets up and starts walking towards me. What could he possibly want? Is he going to ask me why I keep looking at him? Maybe he noticed it. What if he tells me to stop, how would I respond?
"Hey, brat? Mind helping me find this place, this town is a maze to me. This theater," he points to a location on a map he set on the table.
"I know exactly where that theater is! I've been there plenty of times. I could take you," I said with anticipation of a certain response.
"There is no need, I know how to follow direc-"
I interrupted his sentence, "I don't mind at all, please. I'm offering."
"I guess, if you insist," he muttered. I gathered my stuff and walked out with him.
The entire trip was exactly how I imagined, awkward and it had a unsociable vibe to it. However, now that we are at the theater, I feel like I should say something. I noticed that he was quite a bit shorter than most people his age here, you could see he was pissed about it.
So, I decided to leave it and mind my own business, it's not like I will interact with him again. "I-I better be going, I won't keep you."
He grabs my arm, "Oy! you doing anything now? My friend couldn't make it, so I have an extra ticket. You are welcome to come."
I stood there almost speechless. I managed to get out, " I couldn't possibly, now I better go!"
"Hey, it's fine." He placed the ticket in my hand and we went inside. the lights dimmed and the show was about to start.
We exited outside, "I can't thank you enough, I've been eyeing this play for quite a bit. How can I thank you?"
"This was just me thanking you for the money and directions, but if you insist. Maybe if you let me take you to dinner soon, I can call it even."
"I can't, I'm practically broke most the time," I replied.
"No brat, let me take you to dinner."
I flushed, "Maybe…" He handed me his business card with his name and number on it. and I did the same.
"I might call you when I have time," he shouted at me as he walked away.
I couldn't help but to blush even more. "Levi, huh. I like it."
"Jaeger! Fancy seeing you here." Oh shit, why is he here of all times. I sprinted in the opposite direction. "H-hey wait!"
I was finally home, I slammed the door as I got in. He didn't seem to chase me, but you seriously never know with this guy. I looked around the house for Armin, but he seemed to not be here. I was actually a little happy for that. I looked over at the clock.
"Fuck! It's two in the morning? Oh shit, I have class early tomorrow!" I ran to my bedroom. I ended up falling asleep instantaneously.
