Hey guys, I'm back with chapter two! Hope you enjoy!
The wall is broken. This can't be happening. No..Please let mom be safe.
As I speed down the cobblestone path, destruction and ruin surrounds me. I can hear a faint, "Eren, wait up!" behind me, but it doesn't stop my speed in the least bit. The voice sounded slightly like Mikasa, but I knew she would be able to keep up just fine.
All I'm worried about is mom.
As we sprint down our street, I could hear the sobs of the people we pass, blood and body parts were scattered everywhere. This has to be hell on earth. I pant heavily, eyebrows furrowing in concentration as I finally make it up the steep hill to our home. A faint sunset shines in my eyes as I look towards our house, searching for any sign of our mother.
It's destroyed.
Flames surround the other houses near ours, everything is in complete ruin. I feel a burning at my eyes, tears threatening to escape the ducts. I hurriedly wipe them away and sprint to our house, Mikasa following right behind me.
As we near the house, I hear a faint groan emit from under a huge pile of boards. Hurriedly, I remove one of the planks only to see a ragged woman trapped under. This woman is my mom. A slight relief washes over me as Mikasa and I in no time at all try to lift up the planks over our injured mother to free her.
It won't budge.
I hear Mikasa faintly crying, giving up on trying to move the planks as she reaches for our mother's hand, holding it tightly. "Mom, please make it out.."
"Mikasa, Eren, you must go, leave me please.. I love you both, but there's no way I'm getting out of this.." Her voice was raspy and strained as she smiled at us both, trying her best to keep from crying.
"No, mom! We're taking you with us-"
THUD.
Screams of terror in the distance arise and I immediately stand up from my squating position beside my mother and Mikasa. I look up and immediately see a giant figure, a creepy smile plastered on its face, and blood splattered around its mouth as it looks down at us.
I stand in complete terror, unable to move, as I hear a blurred out scream from our mother telling us to run. I can't. My body is too stiff and my legs won't work. I can't just leave mom behind like this to be eaten! As I look to our trapped mother, who is now crying and screaming at us, I try to move the boards with all my strength. None of them would budge.
Suddenly, I feel a hand grab me and lift me up, running Mikasa and I away from our mother. I don't know who this man is that is doing this. He's just a blur. All I worry about is the giant titan picking my mother up effortlessly by her shirt, lifting her up to its face.
Tears fall down my cheeks as I scream and reach out for my mother in the distance, unable to do anything as we get carried farther and farther away. I hear Mikasa sobbing violently and screaming out, also. Right when we're about to turn a corner, the titan opens its mouth, dropping our mom and -
"Eren! Eren, wake up! We have to leave soon!" I wake up, my body covered in sweat. I look around the room dazed, sitting up and running my fingers through my tangled hair. "Where do we have to go..?" I glance up at Mikasa, who is fully dressed, hair straightened, and even a bit of makeup on her eyes. She looks nice..
"We invited the group out for lunch at the park, remember?" My eyes widen and I quickly jolt up from bed. "Shit! I forgot today's Saturday! Who all is going?" I strip my shirt off in front of Mikasa, looking in my closet and getting out a black and white striped shirt with a black studded pocket on the front. I slip it on quickly and slide some black skinny jeans on again with my usual pair of converse.
"Well, Armin is definitely going. Jean and Marco said they were gonna go, so did Petra. I think she might bring Levi with her since she has a crush on him and all." I role my eyes at the mentioning of Levi, a part of me actually slightly happy he's going to come. "Oh, yeah, Sasha and Connie said they were gonna tag along, also. I mentioned lunch and they were all for it."
I look in the mirror on top of my dresser, looking like I haven't slept in a couple of days. Maybe splashing some water on my face will help? I head towards the bathroom and turn on the water, brushing my teeth quickly and splashing some cold water on my face. I wipe off the water and brush out my hair, looking down at the straightening iron that Mikasa makes sure to leave on for me since my hair curls pretty badly sometimes. I straighten my hair in some places, making it look smooth and soft.
I smile into the mirror, finding myself looking quite decent today. As I finish up everything, I leave the bathroom, going back to my bedroom and putting a chained necklace on with a guitar pick attached to the end and a couple of bracelets. Right as I head to leave the room, the door opens quickly, slamming right into me and causing me to yelp in pain. "Ow, fucking shit!"
"Oh, you're ready, good." Mikasa doesn't apologize for hitting me, as usual and gently pats my back instead. "Yeah let's go, I'm ready." Mikasa nods in agreement and leads the way to our garage, grabbing the keys and getting in on the driver's side. With us both being 16, we should be Juniors, but the school system being like it is, held us back a year since we came from so many different schools because of dad's job.
Dad never is home, he has to travel a lot, but he always comes to visit and his job is able to support the whole family. Mom, being the independent woman she is, though, always makes sure to work her part time job to help bring in some more income. I've always looked up to my parents because of how hardworking they are to support us all.
The drive to the park was fairly quiet, other than small chatter between Mikasa and I about if she packed our share of the food to bring to the picnic. Me being the rowdy one of us both, got out a CD from the armrest between us that opened up. Today's an Incubus kind of day.
I watch outside the car window at the sky, partly cloudy, but still beautiful out. I decide to crank up the music a little louder in the car so I can sing as I please without Mikasa having to hear me, knowing I'm not the best of all singers. I look down at my phone and see the screen light up.
Petra: Hey, shitty brat, where the fuck are you and Mikasa?
What? Petra wouldn't say something like that, would she? I've never heard her cuss before like that.
Eren: Uhh, is this Petra?
Petra: No, you stupid shit, it's Levi. Where are you guys? You're 10 minutes late.
Eren: Oh hey levi. But yeah um, were almost there I kinda slept in on accident and mikasa couldnt get me up. Sorry lol! xD
Petra: Your grammar and the way you text gives me cancer. Bye.
I look at my phone and smile, laughing to myself and receiving a questioning look from Mikasa. "Why are you laughing?" She looks at me a little bit more and at my phone, but immediately puts her eyes back on the road, she hates being an unsafe driver.
"It was Levi texting me through Petra's phone, they're wondering where we're at." I smile at my phone again, re-reading the messages happily.
"Oh, well there's the park over there, we're not too late." She shrugs a bit and pulls into the parking lot, parking the car with precision right beside a metallic black motorcycle. I got out of the car, the heat blasting against me as I got out of the nicely air conditioned car. I don't mind the heat usually, especially on a pretty day like this.
"Here, carry this." Mikasa handed me a bag filled with plastic plates, spoons, knives, forks, and cups. I nod and take it, leading Mikasa, who doesn't know where we're meeting up, to the big shaded tree slightly away from the playground that has our group of friends there. As we walked up, Sasha and Connie came running to us, begging us to hurry so they could engorge theirselves with food. I laugh at them and nod, setting the dining tools down on the table with all the other items.
Petra walks up to me and gives me a light hug, apologizing for Levi's texts. "I'm so sorry about Levi, he stole my phone and wouldn't hand it over until he was done. Honestly, it made me kinda happy he did that because... Nevermind it's too embarrassing to say." She smiled shyly up at me and pulled me away from the others.
"Anyways, Eren, I need to ask you a favor; will you hear me out?" Her face changed from smiling to amazingly serious. I raise my eyebrows, shocked at this sudden change in expression and nod a bit, "Yes, of course, what's up?"
She looks at me with a stern expression and talks in a quiet voice, "You and Levi seem to get along pretty well to me and I want to know if you will be willing to befriend him and give hints about me liking him, in a subtle way that is."
I look at her in disbelief for a moment and look towards our group of friends, setting up the table and already eating at the food. "Uhh, you want me to befriend Levi? You do know that he hates me right?"
"No he doesn't Eren, if anything I think he's quite fond of you, counting that he smiled at you and walked with you outside on Tuesday. That's more than he's done with me in a month!" She looks up at me with pleading eyes, puffing out her lower lip in a begging manner, "Please Eren? Do this for me and I'll repay you whenever you need me some day."
I sigh and pat her on the shoulder, walking with her back towards the table, "Fine, but you owe me big time. If I end up getting brutally beaten by your little crush, I blame you."
"Thank you so much, Eren." Her features ease into a happy smile as we reach the table. I quietly sit down beside Mikasa and Armin, looking down at the plate that Mikasa set down for me and the cup of beside it. I thank her and look across the table only to get my eyes shot through with a certain someone's cold, silver ones.
I try my best to ignore him, but every time I look up, his eyes are on me, staring hatefully. I have no fucking clue how Petra expects me to befriend this guy, he obviously hates me, especially after I caught him singing in the restroom.
The rest of the lunch went as expected, though, Sasha and Connie ate most of the food, even all of the leftovers. Jean and Marco quietly ate for the most part, except when Marco would get on to Jean for not using his table manners, to which Jean would bow his head a bit and do as Marco says. Petra sat beside Levi, absolutely silent between each other except for Petra making a light giggle or participating in someone else's conversation. Mikasa and Armin chattered away, I myself feeling a bit too awkward to speak up because of the sharp eyes staring at me most of the time.
I'd say it was successful so far.
Sasha and Connie got up after eating their abnormally large portions, running over to the playground and telling everyone to come with them. I, being quite the child at heart, ran over to them and got on the swings. Connie and I had a contest to see who could jump out of the swing the farthest and I ended up winning easily. Connie pouted over his loss and I just got back on the swing and gently pushed myself back and forth, not really caring anymore.
"C'mon, Levi, let's swing!" I look up a bit from my phone that I was playing a game on, closing it off as I saw Petra pushing a reluctant Levi towards me on the swing sets.
"Petra," I could hear Levi's audible sigh, "I do not wish to touch those disgusting swings with their nasty germs. Do you know how many little neanderthals have touched that?"
Petra giggled at Levi, leading him to me on the swingset. "Eren, can you please tell Levi that swinging isn't all that bad?" I look at her with a raised brow, glancing towards Levi who stared at me with that same "I hate your guts" look. I just smirked at him and responded in a cocky tone in my voice, "Heh, he's just afraid of breaking a nail or something, or maybe he's afraid that he can't out-swing me." I looked at him straight in the eye, challenging him in a knowing manner, hoping he would fall for my little trick.
"You shitty brat, I'm not worried about your childish games, I just would prefer not touching a filthy swingset." He looked at me with a frustrated scowl on his face, this causing Petra to take a step back and not get so close to him. I hopped off the swing, wobbling a bit on my feet. God my ass was numb from sitting on that thing for so long.
"I think you're just scared," I walk over to the shorter male and lightly pushed him to the swing. His body was surprisingly hard underneath his clothes, not bony, but muscular. I lightly blush at this new found knowledge and lead him to the swing. "Haven't you ever swung before?" He tensed up at my question and I sigh, holding onto the chain of the swing. "We have Germ-X at the table, so you can get some of that after." He glared up at me and stared down at the seat attached by two chains.
"How the fuck am I supposed to get on this thing?" He kicks at the ground, frustrated at the whole ordeal.
Petra smiles at us both and giggles, "Levi, I've never seen you give in to something so easily before. You two must be really good friends, huh?" I tense up at her words and send her a worried look. Levi just turns to her and scowls, glaring back up at me and shooing me away.
"I'm not friends with this shitty brat, he's just an annoyance. Also, I knew you two would pester me if I didn't get on so shut up with this friendship thing, I don't like him." I looked at Levi and backed away, shrugging at his words and standing behind the swing so he wouldn't fall backwards when he jumped up.
I watched as the other male held onto the chains, jumping up slightly and landing perfectly on the seat. I smile and walk back around, staring at Levi as he awkwardly tries to get the swing going.
"How the fuck do you do this?" He scowls, kicking his feet in the air, not even able to touch the grass below him because of his height. Petra and I laugh at his struggling and Levi just growls, upset with being laughed at.
Petra walks to the swing beside him and tries to show him how to get the motion down. Levi watches, analyzing her motions and tries to do it also. His leg motions were correct, just getting the momentum was harder because he couldn't reach the ground. I sigh and walk behind Levi who watched me with a death glare.
"What the hell are you doing, Eren?" He looks at me as I walk behind him, getting close to his back.
"I'm going to give you a push start because you have the swinging part down, you just can't reach the ground to get a kick start." I put it bluntly to him and he just sighs, holding onto the chain reluctantly as I grab him gently by the waist, pulling him back up in the air and letting him go.
Petra laughs as Levi made a slightly scared face that I didn't get to witness when I let him go. After a bit of practice, Levi started to be able to swing on his own, but soon stopped once he got the hang of it.
"I'm tired of touching that disgusting swing, where is the Germ-X?" Petra and I laugh at his remark and the three of us walk back to the picnic table where Mikasa and Armin still sat, watching over our stuff.
"Oi, Mikasa where is the Germ-X?" Mikasa looks up at me with a light smile before noticing Levi and quickly scowling at him with hatred. Levi just ignored her look and I just got the bottle out, handing it over to Levi who nodded and used it. I chuckled to myself and noticed how much more relaxed Levi's face was once he used the gel.
The rest of the time was spent with laughter and meaningless chatter. At one point we ended up having a dance off to which failed miserably counting that no one could dance except Armin. Of course, Levi, who seemed like the type that would be able to dance, didn't participate, but it's alright; it would be an odd site to see him do so anyways.
After we all cleaned up, Petra walked up to me and smiled happily. "I'm so happy you did this today, it seems like Levi is warming up to you. Be sure to talk to him about me, alright?" I laugh a bit and shake my head.
"I don't think so, you heard him earlier, he said he doesn't like me at all." I laugh in a bitter manner. Why did it hurt so much to be told that by him?
I shouldn't worry in the first place, I'm only doing this for Petra..There's no way I could ever be friends with such a guy.
"No, not at all. I think he likes you just fine! He has a tendency to say things he doesn't mean." She pats my back reassuringly, leading us back to the group who was chattering about what to do next.
Sasha and Connie pipe in excitedly, "I'd say a buffet!" Everyone just rolled their eyes and Jean annoyedly yelled at them.
"We just ate you fools! You're gonna get fat eating like that!" I laughed a bit at Jean and shook my head, looking over to Levi who was quietly listening to music and mouthing out lyrics.
I walked over to him, tapping him on the shoulder so he knew I was there. He took out his ear plugs and looked up to me. His face looked relaxed for once, maybe music calmed him down?
"You have any opinion on where we go, that is if you're going to be coming that is?" I sat down beside him and glanced over at Petra who was looking at us and winked at me, insinuating to talk about her. "I mean Petra seems like she really wants you to come, I think she really likes you and stuff." I laugh nervously, looking away, itching the back of my head.
Levi stares at me, probably not comprehending my hint at all. He just shrugs silently and looks back down at his phone, scrolling through the tons of music on it. I sigh and nudge him, "Well everyone was talking about going to the skating rink since there's a discount admission for half off each student. Mikasa and I brought extra money incase you don't have any so you can get in.." I was stopped by Levi standing up, looking down at me now and nodding.
"I'll go shitty brat, and I have plenty of money. Now quit pestering me." He sighs and scoots out from the picnic table's bench and walks over to Petra.
I think I did that right, didn't I?
I sigh, walking over to Mikasa and Armin who were talking amongst theirselves. "Hey I think everyone decided on going to the skating rink.." I look up to see a scowl on Mikasa's face.
"Why have you been hanging around that delinquent so much, Eren?" Her eyes stare at mine and I look away, sighing deeply and running my fingers through the locks of hair on my head.
"Petra wanted me to befriend him since she says "Levi gets along with me more than most people", so I'm doing her a favor and hanging with him so I can hint that she likes him so they can go out."
Mikasa eyes me more, sighing and letting it go after a bit, knowing she has no control over who I hang out with anyways. "Well I want you to be careful around him, he seems like he's no good and hangs around the wrong crowd."
Shut up, Mikasa, you don't know him.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." I sigh, wishing I could have said what was on my mind, but I knew starting a fight with her now would result in a bad time at the skating rink.
I sigh and walk back to our car with Mikasa, having her unlock the trunk to set the leftover plates and items away. I look over to the side of our car, admiring the motorcycle in the next parking space. It was a Harley Davidson, and might I say, it was quite a sexy one.
I sigh and Mikasa opens up the car, but right before I get in I hear my name getting called. "Aye, brat. You heading to the skating rink?"
I turn around to see the shorter male standing beside the motorcycle, tossing his leg over to the other side and sitting comfortably on it. I gape at the site of seeing Levi on the black motorcycle, finding it very attractive and appealing for him to drive such a thing.
"Uh, yeah we are, and I had no clue that you owned a motorcycle, that's amazing!" I excitedly walk over to him, checking out the bike and its spotless stature. It looks perfect.
"Thanks, brat. You act like you've never rode on a motorcycle before, which I find hard to believe." He glares at my childish gaping over his bike, this causing me to straighten up and cough a bit awkwardly.
"Actually, I haven't, sadly." I frown a bit, sighing and heading back to the passenger side of our car. "I guess we'll meet up at the rink so ye-"
"Aye brat, get on." I was cut off by Levi's abrupt interruption.
I glare at him and shake my head, looking at Mikasa who was silently glaring at Levi. "Eren isn't allowed to get on that death trap." She immediately stares at me, causing me to shrink a bit.
"I think that's his choice, not yours." Levi snidely remarks back to my sister, causing me actually some relief that he is defending me for some odd reason. I really wanna ride on it, it seems really fun, too.
Wait. Wouldn't I have to hold on to Levi the whole time?
My cheeks heat up as I look away, twiddling with my fingers awkwardly.
"Eren, do you really want to get on that thing with him?" Mikasa snaps me out of my daze, causing me to look up at them both.
"Uh, I don't have to you know. I don't want to be any trouble, plus having two guys ride on a motorcycle seems a little.. You know." I awkwardly look over at Levi who has an amused look on his face.
"Who cares about that? Being gay has already become something that is quite the norm now anways." Levi nonchalantly replies to my "gay" statement from before. I blush a bit and look at Mikasa who sighs and gets in the car, shutting the door and leaning over to the passenger side to shut my door too, leaving me outside the car.
I blush and look up stiffly to Levi who is just digging around in the fairly big side bag on the motorcycle, getting out a second helmet and tossing it to me. I catch it shyly and walk over to him, putting it on my head and staring at the motorcycle.
"Alright, shitty brat. I'll hold the motorcycle down for you, just hop up a bit and sling your leg over. When you get on comfortably, be sure to keep your feet on these bars at the side right here." He points out the foot bars at the side that keeps your feet from dragging or hitting the wheel.
I nervously do as he says and successfully get on the bike, thankful for the slight back rest that kept me sitting upright. "Alright, so what do I hold on to?"
Levi huffed and started up the motorcycle, talking over the loud engine in a calm voice. "Whatever keeps you on." He begins to back the motorcycle up and revs the engine, driving slowly at first to see how I handle and I look around, trying to find something to hold on to. I try holding onto the back of the seat, but that didn't work at all when he made the slightest turn.
After struggling a bit, I reluctantly tap Levi on the back as he slowly drives through the parking lot. "Levi what the fuck am I supposed to hold on to?"
He made a light laughing sound, an actual laughing sound. Yes, I'm as surprised as anyone. "You're supposed to hold on to me you brat. It took you long enough to ask, I thought you were gonna just fall off."
I blush heavily at him and grab on to his shoulders a bit, "Like this?" I ask him in a curious manner, hoping I wouldn't have to hold onto him by his waist, that is just too embarrassing.
"Whatever keeps you on, shitty brat." He starts to drive faster and I immediately feel the force of the wind making me feel like I will fall. After our first quick turn, I end up squeaking and holding onto him tightly by the waist. He didn't say anything, he just kept driving in silence as I held on to him in such an intimate position.
Once we got close to the skating rink, we stopped at a stoplight, only for a car to pull up beside us and emit loud whistles. I look over to the car only to see the carpool of Sasha, Connie, Jean, and Marco all laughing and whistling at us.
I blush heavily and let go of Levi's waist, flipping them off as they all laugh in unison. Jean sticks his head out the window and makes kissy faces at us both.
"Jaeger, I didn't think you rode the rainbow coaster!" Jean chuckled evily and I just pouted, yelling back at him.
"Shut up and go suck a dick, probably Marco's!" I laugh back at him and everyone joins in except Jean and Marco who just blush, especially Jean.
"Fuck you, Eren!" Marco gets on to Jean about causing a scene and everyone just continues to laugh amongst themselves.
The light changed to green and Levi nudged me, I shyly nodded, wrapping my arms snugly around his waist and pressing my chest against his back. I never noticed it before, but Levi smelled really good. He smelled really clean and had a perfect scent of cologne on his body. I unconsciously snuggled closer to his back, getting lost in the scent of Levi and the nice feeling of air hitting my body.
Not even 10 minutes after leaving the park, we arrived at the skating rink. Everyone standing outside the building glanced at us, some giving grossed out looks and some "fangirling" over two guys riding on a motorcycle together. Luckily, I saw no sign of Petra, because this would be quite difficult to explain why I was holding on to Levi so closely.
I shyly released Levi, missing the warmth in my chest when I held onto him. Levi put the stand down and rested the motorcycle on it, helping me get off it with ease.
"Did you like the ride, brat?" He had a knowing smirk on his face as he took off his helmet, his hair naturally falling back down into its original place.
"Y-Yeah it was really nice, I had a lot of fun, thank you.." I looked away from him and took my helmet off, my hair sadly not being flawless. I pouted as I reached up to my hair and felt the locks standing up. "Ugh my hair is a mess.."
Levi stared up at me, a light smirk playing on his lips as he reached up, having a bit of trouble reaching my head because of the vast height difference. I leaned down a bit and felt his slender fingers graze through my hair, fixing the strands that stood out of place. His touch felt really soothing, almost like a woman's touch.
"There, shitty brat, now go." His voice was soft when he called me by I guess my "pet name". I used to be annoyed when he would call me that, counting that I didn't know him and it was very rude to say that to people you don't know very well.
I took in a deep breath and met up with the group at the front door, smiling at them. "Hey guys, what're we waiting for?" Petra smiled at me and so did everyone else, most of them laughing at the previous site.
Petra came up to me and whispered to me, "Levi's mother is best friends with the owner so him and his friends always get free access." I looked at her in surprise, glancing back at Levi who was nonchalantly walking over to us.
"Oi, let's go guys." Levi spoke up to the group who was digging through their things to get out money. "Don't get money out, it's free." Everyone stopped in shock as Levi walked right past the woman who took money at the entrance. I just shyly followed him, along with the group. I walked with Mikasa in to the giant rink, it smelled like concession food and the music wasn't too loud, thankfully.
Mikasa leaned over to me and lowly spoke, "Why were you holding on to Levi like a lovestruck girl?" I tensed up at her words and sighed.
Because he's irresistable, strong, hypnotizing, and perfect.
"I wasn't, I just was holding on to him because believe it or not, I didn't want to fall off and die." Armin laughed at my reply, understandingly.
"It seems really scary, I understand, Eren." Armin looked up at me with his sweet, innocent smile. God I love Armin, he is just perfect. He never asks about stuff past my comfort zone which is so greatly appreciated.
Levi stood in front of the group and told them to just follow him. Everyone stood amazed at the power they had at this place now. We all followed him to the back room which was well lit up unlike the slightly dark rink in the main arena. The whole room was filled up with skates and supplies neatly filed by size and labeled everywhere.
"Get some skates and head out when you want. These skates are new ones that other nasty people's feet haven't been in, so you're welcome." Levi grabbed a pair and immediately put them on with haste.
Sasha and Connie excited ran around, looking for the right size while Marco and Jean quietly looked around, both making witty remarks to eachother and pushing eachother around playfully. Mikasa scowled at Levi even though he was nice enough to do this for us. Armin and Petra grouped up together, talking to eachother in a seemingly innocent and sweet conversation. I just stood by myself, walking over to Levi and sitting beside him with a box of skates I picked out.
"You really did too much, Levi. We could have paid for this stuff you know..?" I quietly talk to him while nobody noticed, putting on the brand new skates that fit a lot better than the old ones you usually get at the front.
"Whatever, why pay when you can get in for free?" His answer seemed most logical, but I think there was a bigger meaning behind it than that. I sigh and stand up with my skates on, skillfully spinning around in them. I used to skate all the time when I was younger, I even took a couple of classes on it. We all skated out to the rink with no problem except for Armin and Jean.
Mikasa held on to Armin's hand, and Jean clung to Marco like a scared child. I laughed at Jean, but not Armin because Armin was actually taking the time to learn how to skate while Jean was just whining about how he's scared.
I skated out to the rink, moving around to the fast music. Sasha and Connie skated for a little bit, jumping around like idiots before leaving for the concession stand. Armin finally got the hang of skating and was able to do it by himself. Petra decided to skate with Levi, who looked disinterested as always as she chattered away about nothing probably.
I decided to go with Mikasa and Armin, the three of us just skating in circles around the rink and I occassionally showed off by skating backwards and dancing. I looked over to Levi and Petra, they were skating beside each other.
Petra seemed to have trouble keeping up with Levi who frequently had to keep slowing down. I smirked at the thought in my head and said bye to Mikasa and Armin for a bit and skated over to them.
"Aye, Levi. Wanna race from this wall to the other side?" I looked at him with a goofy grin, the music got louder and the room got darker a bit, the strobe lights hitting the floor to the beat of the music.
"Brat, you're gonna lose if you do that I hope you know." Levi smirked at me and Petra just giggled at us. "Go on, do it guys. I need to rest anyways I'm getting tired."
I smiled at Petra and gave her a light hug goodbye. Levi and I skated over to the wall we were beside and Levi counted down by 3.

"Go." Levi casually said and pushed off from the wall. We raced right beside each other, I myself finding it difficult to keep up with him. Even though I had longer legs, he was very swift. We started to near the wall and I was just starting to get ahead when-
Crash.
Levi zoomed ahead of me and hit the wall. I cried out in pain and immediately apologized to the male that I ran in to. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, please forgive me!" I bowed my head in deep apology as I felt something grab a wad of my hair.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing you fucking bitch?!" I squeaked out in pain and looked up only to see the face of one of the guys that gave Levi and I a dirty look when we drove up on the motorcycle.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.." I whimpered out and felt a hand at my throat, squeezing roughly. I choked out a bit, feeling tears fall down my cheeks when my air passage was blocked.
"Oh, you're that little gay fag I saw earlier. What a cute face you're making, I bet you'd look even better with something in your mouth." His eyes went crazy as he squeezed even tighter.
I'm going to die. Someone help me, please!
I grab at his wrist with what little strength I can muster and cry out. Right when the stranger raises his fist to hit me, I flinch, but don't feel the impact. Instead, I open my eyes and soonly get released. I gasp for air as I fall to the ground, coughing roughly and immediately getting pulled away by none other than Mikasa.
I look up only to see Levi, grabbing the stranger by his hair and bashing his face into the wall. Right before the man falls down, Levi lands a kick to his stomach. I look down at his feet to see his skates were thrown off and he is now brutally kicking the stranger over and over, a dark glint in his eyes as he does so.
The scene later unfolds with Levi getting pulled away from the completely beaten and bloodied man and the body guards from out front picking up the stranger and taking him outside, kicking him out.
I sit in the middle of the skating rink, coughing still, but feeling a little better with air to my lungs as I watch Levi hesitantly walk up to me. "Eren, are you alright..?" Levi's voice was soft, his expression turned from cold and angered to soft and worried in just seconds. Wait, worried?
"I-..I'm fine, thank you so much for doing that. Without you, I probably would've ended up dying or fainting.." I look up at him and see a sigh of relief wash over his face. Our group immediately skates out to us, knealing down to me and asking worried questions to which was answered for me by Mikasa. My skates were removed for me by Levi who was hurriedly trying to get us off the rink.
I felt myself getting lifted up by Mikasa and Levi, both of them letting me wrap my arm around their shoulders. "Thank you guys, really." Mikasa just shushed me, saying I shouldn't be talking after being choked out.
I mumbled a light-headed reply as we returned the items before I was helped out of the building and into our car. Mikasa immediately started the engine, insisting that we go to the hospital and I refusing it immediately. Levi kept my door open to speak and gently ran his fingers through my hair.
"Glad you're alright, shitty brat." His voice was worried, but soft at the same time.
"Thank you, I might just-" I coughed roughly and covered my mouth, sighing deeply, "I might just have to get you as a personal body guard with the way you handled that guy." I smiled weakly at him and he just nodded, seemingly agreeing in a serious manner.
A faint blush rose to my cheeks as he said his goodbye and closed my door.
And with the sound of the door closing resonating through the silent car, I passed out.
ERMAHGERD. I'm so sick of writing now. I have been writing this shit for seven hours with mini breaks in between. SEVEN HOURS. You are VERY MUCH WELCOME.
Anyways, thank you all for reading so far and please stick around for oncoming chapters!
Oh yeah, the motorcycle thing, it was totally needed. Totally.
