Eren's P.O.V

Eren felt the soothing, comforting hand on his shoulder, and just felt... Protected? No that wasn't the right word. More like... Eren's thoughts trailed off, as he saw Levi smile. Smile. /smile/. Not smirk, not grimace, but just a small, soft, angelic smile that lifted the shorter mans face completely. Eren now took note of how devastatingly stunning Levi truly was. He held himself straight, and had skin so pale that you would assume that he spent too little time in the sun. But on closer inspection, you could see that he was healthy, and simply had naturally porcelain skin. Levi's dark bangs hung down by the side of his face, framing his cheekbones perfectly; the color of the hair so dark that it almost seemed blue in some lights. And his eyes... They were as grey as the stormiest of clouds, and yet could hold care and concern - which the older male was clearly not used to showing. Eren's eyes softened a little, at how both him and Levi had unusual eyes, but Levi clearly had the good side of unusual.

He himself, however, seemed to get a pigment mutation at birth. The reason Eren covered the golden one with a contact and not the blue green one was simple. The golden one was his fathers. The other, belonging to his mothers. He was proud to be his loving mothers son. He would have disowned himself from his fathers side had he been given the choice to do so.

Un-subconsciously, Eren reached up and placed his hand over his left eye, the regretful look on his face soon to be replaced with a shaky smile, and an of course, an excuse.

"Heh. Sorry about that. I'm a bit off today, but tomorrow, i'll be alright again. " Smiling at the only just concealed relief in Levi's eyes, Eren shook his head, clearing his thoughts a little. After giving his eye a little rub, he put his his arms down by his sides, as did Levi. It was then That the brunette realized that were Levi's hand had bee on his shoulders, there was a slight tingling sensation. A /tingling sensation/. What the hell! What the HELL?! Eren glanced at Levi. He couldn't-no. But did he- no. But he was in fact- NONONO.

There was an obvious, bloody battle of arguments going on in Eren's head, and it would appear reason, which was screaming at him to go home, had been brutally murdered by instinct..While sensibility just sat and watched with popcorn in hand.

"Well, if it's ok with you, I'd like to see your office, and then we should probably head home. After all, it it nearly... HOLY HELL ITS 11:21! ARMIN'S GONNA KILL ME!" And with that Eren was gone yelling a faint "Sorry Levi!" As he went.

Levi's P.O.V

The raven could feel the taller males gaze cascading over his pale face - normally, Levi would be absolutely disgusted by this type of unwanted attention.. But, the smaller man couldn't help but stare /right back/ at the beautiful, shining eyes that belong to the adorable brunette. He was more tan then Levi himself, but his skin looked so smooth and soft that Levi had to resit the urge to outstretch his hand and stroke the desirable skin on his cute, slightly tinted cheeks. His unruled, yet dark brown hair fitted around his face perfectly, and the way his fringe hung over part's of his face had Levi staring even more. His bluey-green eyes resembled the colors of the earth itself, and it reminded Levi of a scene that painted itself in his mind: a stunningly open meadow, surrounded by flowing grass and clear, blue skies. Eren's eyes were truly something special, but if Levi looked close enough, he swore he could of seen what looked like contacts...As if it was glazed over, or some sort.

So..He was right earlier about Eren being too clumsy to wear glasses? The raven softly bit the inside of his mouth to prevent smirking wider, or perhaps letting out a little chuckle in the process. Once again, Eren rubbed over his left eye to confirm Levi's suspicions. However, once the black haired male's hand fell from the other's shoulder, the warmth that seemed to be travelling through his body after he touched Eren disappeared, and the smirk which happened to occur on Levi's face vanished. Wait- no...He couldn't be- he wasn't already falling in love with- no...!

Before Levi could even react on the sentences that managed to leave Eren's mouth, he was already shooting of down the corridor. ''That kid...'' Levi breathed, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose as his head constantly pounded with immense thoughts. Erwin and Hanji were /absolutely/ loving this..

~Time Skip~

Eren happened to wake up in a small puddle of drool, slumped over his endless amount of study books. He had been doing his assignments until two in the morning last night...

Ugh.

Lifting his heavy head and groaning at his sore, stiff neck, he looked about.

No Armin. Where could he be...?

Eren saw the clock. 7:45. He had fifteen minutes to get to work and work was /10 minuets away/.

Eren had never moved so fast in all his life.

Levi was going to kill him, and dance on his dead corpse for hours after.

Seven minutes later, Eren was in his suit trousers and pulling his formal jacket over his crumpled, un ironed shirt and had gotten his shoes tied. Grabbing a dark, blue tie and his handy satchel, Eren ran to work - not bothering with the lift and legging it up the stairs three at a time. He never knew he could be so damn energetic...

Bursting through the office doors and breathing heavily as he did so, Eren's chest was rising and falling under his buttoned shirt at a rapid pace. Eren looked up for a brief moment to see Levi standing in front of him; one delicate eyebrow raised on his forehead. Eren stood, running a hand through his windswept hair and straightening his crooked tie. He noticed Levi had turned away from him, and was rummaging through his desk draws; clearly looking for something that he needed. Levi then straightened, turning to Eren with a selection of papers in his hand, and opened his mouth as if to saw something; but froze.

Eren tilted his head to the side at Levi's expression, completely baffled and not understanding what had shocked the small ravenette to a certain extent. Why was he staring at Eren? Did he have something on his face? Maybe his shirt wasn't buttoned properly or something..

The brown haired male then looked down, and saw that nothing was obviously wrong - and then checked his slightly long hair with his hands; pushing the chocolate locks away from his eyes.

/His eyes/.

Oh. Holy hell.

His eyes.

He wasn't wearing his green contact.

Levi on the other hand, had already been standing in his office a good fifteen minutes before Eren was supposed to turn up. He stood at his wooden, vast desk - fixing his pure black tie and straining his work jacket. As soon as the bubbly brunette happened to burst through the door with labored breath and his body heaving frantically, Levi couldn't help but raise a curious eyebrow. The brat must have overslept and been on the very edge of becoming late.

First day on the job,and Eren was already panicking about everything. The raven held back a quiet chuckle, as he turned on his heel to rummage through his desk draws. But, once he found the papers he wanted and turned back to the direction where the taller male was standing, Levi felt his draw drop ever so slightly, along with the widening of his grey colored eyes.

Levi once again was staring at the brunette for the god-knows-how-manieth-time, but this time - he noticed a big, significant change towards what his personal assistant looked like yesterday. Behind his locks of seemingly soft, brown hair..Levi could see the distinct different colors of his eyes - one being the same as the day before; a bluey-green shade, and the other.. The other was a bright, shining golden one, which reflected beautifully from the perfect lightning of the room.

So, Levi was right.. He did have contacts.. But.. For a completely different reason towards what he originally thought. It wasn't for glasses to help the kid see. No...It was for the difference on his eye color. To keep them the same shade.

Eren most likely thought Levi was totally disgusted by the true color of his eyes from the way he was staring intently.. But in fact, the little raven was completely thinking the exact opposite. He couldn't pull his eyes away from Eren - the boy was now even more unique then he thought prior, and as for his "nice eyes," checklist? Oh yeah - Eren had the most /stunning/ eyes Levi ever had the privilege to look upon.

Clearing his throat, the smaller of the two quickly pulled his gaze away, straightening up the papers in his pale hands; happy he had long learned how to not get a silly paper cut by doing so.

"I need you to give these to Hanji, for me, as soon as possible." Levi managed to speak, forcing himself not to make eye contact with the boy as he swallowed the lump that happened to rise in his throat.

Eren had gone into a state of pure and utter shock. The world around him seemed to slow, as he realized that he had just revealed his secret deformity to the person that for some reason, meant to most to him at the time.

Eren could do nothing. No amount of trying to cover his eye with his hand could right this, and he was nothing short of mentally freaking out. Levi was way to smart to try and believe any of the young teenagers excuses now.

The brunette male had experienced years.. /Years/, of people judging him for his different colored eyes. Some just completely avoided him, and some didn't care. Some saw it as a valid reason to go as far as to get violent against Eren, and some... Well, some chose to make the boys life a living misery with their malice. The young teen guessed that that's what the world did to you when you were different.

Glancing back up at the man who must hate him now, Eren simply nodded, and grabbed the papers, leaving to room without looking Levi in the eyes. That was all the taller male could find the power to do. Eren closed the door behind him quietly and slipped out into the corridor,, shoes padding softly on the carpeted floor. Eren ducked into a bathroom, and put down the papers. He always kept a spare pair of contacts in his bag, if he just put them in, then maybe he could pretend it never happened and put it down to Levi seeing things in the light or something...

Damn it!

He had left his bag in Levi's office. Eren stepped out the bathroom after pulled his hair in front of his cursed eye and quickly stuffed the papers into Hanji's and Erwin's pigeon hole 'things.'

Speed walking down the endless corridor before someone saw him, Eren looked into Levi's office , seeing that the smaller raven wasn't there at that given moment and time. Slipping in, Eren grabbed his satchel containing the lenses and turned around, only to bump right into the person he was trying to avoid, Levi; knocking them both to the floor below them.

Levi had only popped out of his cozy office for a mere few seconds, before he returned to be surprisingly knocked of his own two feet by a certain brunette boy. Tumbling to the floor, the raven's eyes widened once more as he saw the Eren clutching his satchel close to his chest, his eyes full of panic and anxiety. His hair was mostly covering his face though, so the raven couldn't see the beautiful, fascinating golden eye that he had saw earlier; that had intrigued him greatly.. Eren probably had spare contacts in his bag and was trying to avoid all human contact at this point..

Pulling himself to his feat and regaining his own balance, Levi slowly outstretched a slender arm to offer a hand to the taller boy; knowing he could easily pull the other up without effort.

As the other male did indeed accept the help, Levi accidentally pulled his personal assistant a bit to close to his own body in the process, and the smaller raven felt his own breath hitch in his throat for a couple of seconds at the proximity of their sudden closeness. Never the less, Levi quickly snapped out of his daze and regained his stoic, confident facade rather quickly.

Eren felt a faint blush dust his cheeks as he felt himself get pulled up and be positioned practically in Levi's arms. Levi had pulled him up as if he weighed nothing! How strong was the man? What on earth did he do in his free time? Eren's voice hitched as he felt his hands press against Levi's chest to balance himself, Levi was completely /solid/. Eren blushed more, and backed off a little, putting his hands on his bag strap.

"Thank you for that, Eren." The black haired male spoke, referring to Eren fulfilling his first job Levi had gave him. But before the older let the younger male leave to fix his appearance, he quickly spoke:

"Oh, and Eren? That golden eye of yours is very unique.. It truly fits you well. In my opinion, you really don't need contacts." Levi spoke softly, even though, if he was going to be completely honest, he would of said how absolutely beautiful Eren looked.. But once again, his emotion barrier was built up, and he didn't want to scare the younger male or something similar right now. That was the last thing Levi intended to do.

When Levi complimented his eyes.. Eren felt his mind cast back to when his mother used to compliment him all the time, and say that he was like a 'little angle'. His father, how ever, seemed to avoid the topic as much as he possibly could; seemingly not 'appreciating' his sons 'special' trait... But then, Eren guessed, what is there to like? Levi was probably only being polite, and acting from how caring he was on the inside, and...

Eren snapped out of his thoughts, and nodded his thanks to Levi in appreciation.

"Umm, thanks, sir. I guess I just... Y'know..." Eren trailed off a little. What exactly could he say?

"I hope that you don't mind, but I'm going to keep the lense in. I'm not quite comfortable with people I don't trust fully seeing it. It wouldn't shock me if they didn't take it to well." Eren showed Levi a smile, hoping that Levi didn't take what he said the wrong way - he didn't think of Levi as a stranger, just the other people in the building.. If anyone else saw, Eren had not a clue what he would do. And then, he dashed into the nearest bathroom, applied the cover, and ran back out again within no time. He was use to putting the contact in on a daily basis, after all.

Breathing slightly louder from running so quickly, Eren finally felt ready to speak again.

"Ok! I'm ready for work now and stuff. What can I do?" As Levi made his decision, Eren found himself gazing at the smaller male once again. He seemed so... Distant. Like he was hiding something. Well, the teen figured he'd just have to wait and find out.
