Chapter 2
"Alright class, that's it for today." The teacher announced. The school bell rang shortly after. Eren raised his head, coming out of his dazed trance and stretched his back in his chair.
"Eren! There's someone outside asking for you!" Armin ran up to him.
Could it be? Eren thought. He ran out of the classroom, and bumped into someone. "S-Sorry!" He sputtered out before he kept running. As he shifts through the crowd of exiting students, he sees the exit was right in front of him. Sunlight filters through the small windows. He comes to a stop at the top of the stairs of Shingeki Highschool, his eyes darting around for the familiar small man he saw at the mall. Eren's eyes stopped as he saw the man in question.
"Are you Eren?" Levi asks as he steps out of the sea of students trying to rush home after a long day at school. It was as if the sun was only shining on the short man, Eren's surroundings were blurred. Levi extends his hand towards Eren. "Come with me." The brunette hesitantly nodded, stepped down the stairs and reached to take his hand.
Eren felt slightly dizzy when he took the raven haired man's hand. Levi pulled him a little closer. The short man had to look a bit up to see Eren's face which the green eyed boy found cute even though this man seemed older than him. His name. Eren thought. "Name..." He couldn't finish the sentence for he was engrossed at this man's features.
"What?" Levi asked inquisitively with the deep voice Eren remembers.
"What should I call you?" he asked, green eyes focusing a little more.
A light smirk played on the short man's face. He reached his arms around the brunette's shoulders to pull him to eye level. "You can call me yours, Eren." Levi brushed his lips against Eren's as his hand reached out to hold the taller boy's cheek. Right before Levi was going in to kiss him softly, something jerked Eren awake.
"Eren!" A young man called out.
"Wait!" Eren gasped.
"Eren!" he heard his name called a second time, except this time it sounded like Armin. Everything froze and faded to a black, a new sight entering his blinking vision.
"EREN!" Mikasa's voice yelled out as she hit him lightly upside the head. He jerked up almost immediately.
"Class is over." Armin said, entering Eren's peripheral vision. The classroom was empty and it was raining outside. A dream? Eren thought. "You were mumbling in your sleep and wouldn't wake up, I was about to call a teacher!". The blonde continued.
"How long?" He asked, his voice sounding dry.
"About ten minutes." Mikasa stated. Eren rubbed his eyes with the heel of his hands and wiped the small amount of drool around his mouth and on his desk with his shirt sleeve. The brunette felt confused for a few seconds, as his train of thought ran back to that dream and the memories correlated.
That dream."Damn it!" Eren slammed his fist suddenly onto the table, causing his two friends to jump at the loud noise. He ignored their reactions and stood up. I thought of him again!
"E-Eren? Are you ok?", the blue eyed blonde boy cautiously touched his friend's shoulder. Eren looked at him and cooled off a bit.
"I'm...I'm hungry." He concluded. "Let's go get something to eat.". He suggested and sped out of the classroom. The two followed him hesitantly.
"You feeling OK Eren?" Mikasa inquired as she grabbed her shoes and umbrella from her locker.
"Bad weather makes me hungry," He said simply. "Panera?" He suggests.
Armin lit up at the idea."I've been sort of craving Panera to be honest." He smiled.
Eren nodded, "It's settled then."
"It's starting to rain kind of hard." Mikasa said, glancing out of the large window in the warm restaurant.
"I should get going soon, I haven't started that writing for kanji." The green eyed boy said as he scooped the last of his soup.
"Ah, I'll come with you." Mikasa stood but Eren stopped her.
"Hey now don't leave Armin alone, I'll be fine." He assured with a light tap on her shoulder. She frowned slightly but sat back down.
"Be safe!" Armin gave him a slight wave. Eren nodded in acknowledgement before he picked up his umbrella and jogged out. The cold wind greeted his face with a few raindrops.
Eren shivered slightly, standing under the overhang outside the Panera. He opened the green umbrella in his hands and began to walk to his house. People rushed by him in a hurry to escape the wet flurry of the storm as it started increasing in force.
The brunette casually looked around the street until his eyes fell on a familiar someone. "You?" His words escaped his open mouth. The short man from the mall looked up from his phone, not too far away from Eren on the sidewalk.
There was a deafening silence through the rain. The minutes dragged on as they stared at each other until Eren's knit together more tightly. It's him! The man who appeared in the dream!
"What the fuck do you want, brat?" The short man abruptly said. Eren was taken aback by this. He didn't say anything like that in the dream. Then again... it was a dream. "Do I know you from somewhere?" He said, squinting slightly. Eren stood rigid. The bathroom incident! He's going to remember me in such an embarrassing way! He realised.
"N-No I don't think you do." The brunette said awkwardly looking away with an uncomfortable smile.
The black haired man stepped toward him, pulling up his scarf and hood. As he left the shelter of the overhang he was under and went near the panicking teen, something sparked through his mind. "You're that bathroom brat." His eyes widened slightly with realization.
Eren jumped at the nickname he gave him. Bathroom Brat? He thought. "W-What are you talking about?" The brunette tried stepping back away from the short man, but his hand shot out and latched onto Eren's hair. He pulled him down to eye level, making the green eyed boy flinch at the sudden movement.
"H-hey now! That ah- HURTS! What are you doing!?" Eren squirmed in pain as his umbrella fell to the ground beside him. The short man's onyx eyes analyzed every inch of the brunette's face.
"Oi, bathroom brat, what's your name?" He inquired coolly.
"Wh-what does it matter-OW OW JEAGER! EREN JEAGER ENOUGH DAMN IT!" Eren pried his hair out from the short man's tight grip. The green eyed boy stumbled back, panting slightly. What an asshole!
"Geez, what is with doing that to a random stranger-" Eren began, arms crossed.
"-that fell backwards into a bathroom after being caught staring at me." Levi interjected. The brunette's face flushed red, the drizzle not affecting the heat rising to his cheeks. He noticed?
With eyes wide, Eren started asking with a nervous smile, "How did you-"
"I've had plenty of people fancy me, I suppose. What, are you also here to confess your love?" The black haired man said rather arrogantly. "I'm impressed. It takes some people a while to build up the courage."
Eren's annoyance rose up as he faced the man. "NOW LISTEN H-HERE YOU, THERE IS N-NO WAY IM GAY FOR YOU!" He yelled, grinding his teeth. In the back of his mind, he knew he was lying.
The black haired man's eyes sharpened with an interest. "How very defensive of you, all of a sudden." He says, his blank expression staying as such. "Then, please indulge to me as to why you were staring at me."
Eren stiffened and paled slightly. "W-Well..." He desperately searched the man's appearance for an excuse. "Y-you have a nice build?!" The brunette sputtered out. Nice build? What the fuck?
"What type of pervert are you? Do you think you can lure me in to rape me or something?" The short man's lip curled in disgust.
Eren felt like someone had punched him in the stomach. "N-No th-that's not what I meant." He desperately said as he grabbed the man's shoulder.
He shrugged the hand off. "Hands off. I don't know where they've been." Eren's eyebrow twitched. Come on now...this guy's just ridiculous.
A car then drove up beside them. "Hey Levi- oh, another confession? Should I wait?" A woman with glasses and brown hair poked her head out.
"WHY DO PEOPLE ASSUME THIS?!" Eren yelled out. "I'm out of here." He huffed, a light blush remained on his cheeks. Is that his friend? Wait I don't care about this fucker. I pray I never see this asshole again! He stormed off.
The two people that were left behind watched him leave. "You're such a heartbreaker, shorty~" Hanji sighed.
"Shut the fuck up and drive." Levi said with a slight edge in his voice as he sat in the passenger's seat.
"Geez, you seem quite riled up after that small encounter." She laughed and drove off in the rain.
Eren opened the door to the one room apartment. "Home at last." He sighed. The brown haired boy threw down his umbrella and kicked off his shoes. He took off the wet coat and hung it up by the door.
His second meeting with Levi was still fresh in his mind. He's more of a jerk than Eren had expected. Well,whatever, it's OK for another man to respect another's build! It's manly! Nothing gay! It's a one time thing! Eren thought confidently.
It wasn't.
