Chapter 3- The Tour

Levi's P.O.V.

Eren was walking down the school's hallways, pointing towards various classrooms and explaining what they were used for.

I am so glad this school is so massive. This way, I can spend more time with Eren. Wait, what?

I ended up staring at her for the majority of the time, the only exception being when she pointed to a classroom, because I didn't want to have to walk everywhere just for me not to know anything. That would be completely pointless and stupid. But just then, Eren stopped in her tracks and grabbed my arm rather tightly. I was about to ask her what was wrong, but she just placed her fore and middle finger on my lips, silencing my yet-to-be-asked question.

Thank goodness I can control my emotions...

Wait, now I hear something.

Footsteps and voices were coming down the hallway in our direction.

Eren looked like she was listening into their conversation, which I didn't think fit her character all that well.

Eren's eyes widened and she suddenly pulled me into an empty classroom and shut the door as softly as possible.

I looked over at Eren and asked,

"Hey, what's the big idea?"

But she just shushed me again and pressed her ear to the door.

I followed suit, curious as to what was making Eren act this way.

The voices and footsteps gradually grew closer, and I could finally make out what they were saying.

"That transfer student better not take Eren away from us. Or Big-M is gonna get real mad."

"You said it. He better high-tail it out o' there. If he knows what is good for 'im."

They all laughed as if that was the funniest thing they had ever heard, which frankly it was just plain stupid and totally cliché.

I looked over at Eren, and I was shocked at what I saw.

Blood lust. She looked like she was just itching to punch them all in the face. I prayed for the idiots' safety.

I didn't know what I was doing. I had never touched anyone in fear that they were filthy, and I have definitely never comforted anyone.

I placed my hand on Eren's shoulder, which caused an immediate reaction in the form of her flinching. She looked very panicked.

I wonder why she reacted like that?

But she noticeably calmed down, which I was glad for, because that would have been awkward if I had touched her and it didn't work.

Eren looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile, letting me know that she was okay now.

I let go, and she turned her attention to spying through the door again. Seeming satisfied no one was around any longer, Eren walked out the door and started walking again, the tour now back on track.

But just as we started walking again...

"Well, well. That looks awfully suspicious. A boy and a girl coming out of an empty classroom together."

I turned around, and low and behold there stood a majestic stallion behind me. Okay, I'm joking, but I was sure it was a horse at first glance.

"Well, Horseface, have you resorted to stalking me now?"

Oh good, I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like a horse.

"Ah, come now, Sweetheart, don't talk like that. You know you love me."

"I do? I wasn't informed of that. Though, I am beginning to wonder if your brain is that needle in a haystack everyone is searching for. I hope the search goes well, it's a valuable item. It's unfortunate that you lost it."

Well, aren't you pretty clever?

He looked pretty confused at first, but it slowly dawned on him Eren had just called him hopelessly moronic.

"Now, that was uncalled for, Eren."

"Was it? I thought the situation called for something, so I pulled up my repertoire of sarcastic horse jokes that involved you not having a brain. You'd be surprised how many I have. It has become a hobby of mine."

Horseface, because I didn't know his real name, looked a little miffed.

"Is this any way to treat your lover?"

Eren and I must have been at the same annoyance level or we had a mental link, because in sync we both face-palmed.

"What on this blazing earth gave you the impression that we were lovers? This is getting ridiculous."

"Since I kissed you, of course!"

"You mean you hauling me into an empty classroom and stealing my first kiss? Yeah, that really meant something."

As soon as she said that, she immediately clapped her hand over her mouth. Shocked, because she just revealed very important information.

Horseface grinned broadly at that.

"Did I now? Oh, now I feel special. I will be remembered as the guy who stole Eren Jaeger's first kiss! Ha ha ha!"

That's it. I was very good at holding my temper and not getting involved in other people's battles, but this one I just couldn't ignore. It was grating on my nerves.

"You are really the lowest of the low. You shouldn't feel too good about that, brat."

Horseface focused his attention on me, and any amusement that was in his earlier demeanor slipped away as our eyes locked.

"So, you must be the transfer student."

"And Eren's right, you really look like a horse."

I could see Eren smirking at that.

"I have a name, you know."

"And what makes you think I care, brat?"

Horseface looked annoyed "Well, it's obvious! I am the school's major punk. And, I am writing your name on my list of little kids who I plan on teaching a lesson to. Mind telling me your name? It would make it easier."

He sneered at me. At least, he tried to. He just looked constipated to me.

"Do it, I dare you."

My eyes had formed into my regular glare, except with a little more hatred then normal. My voice grew icy, dripping with venom.

Horseface was intimidated for a moment, and took a step back.

"Don't you dare threaten me, midget."

Oh, you SO asked for it.

I started walking purposefully towards him, and he starting walking backwards in time with every step I took. However, he didn't walk fast enough and I caught up to him quickly. I crouched slightly, and in one single fluid movement gave him the best uppercut I had every conjured.

His head snapped back and he flew a couple feet backward. He thumped to the ground, just laying there for a bit before sitting up with a dazed expression. I showed no pity for him though.

"That was my best uppercut. You can add that to the list of "firsts" you have taken from people. Beware though, you've made it to the top of my list."

I turned around and looked at Eren. She had a steely look in her eyes. When she looked me in the eyes, I could see approval written there, which made me swell a little with pride.

"C'mon, Eren, there is a lot more of this school I haven't seen yet. All I have seen is trash so far. Is there any special places that are vying for my attention?"

Eren grinned and replied,

"You have no idea! I'm just getting started."

She grabbed my hand and started pulling me away from the horse spread-eagled on the floor, dazed and nauseous.

Eren's P.O.V.

After a while, I had shown Levi most of my favorite places I enjoyed visiting, and now lunchtime had arrived.

I looked over at Levi and asked,

"Hey, it's lunchtime already. Did you bring a lunch or did you plan on buying one, though I highly discourage that?"

He answered,

"I brought mine because I don't trust school lunches, especially ones in America. It's all fat and grease and not enough actual content."

"Ha ha! Same! Though I LIVE in America. That's not very patriotic of me. Anyway, let's go grab our lunches then."

We headed back to our lockers and grabbed our lunches.

"Hey, could we go to one of your favorite spots to eat? I hate people, they always throw their food around like a bunch of animals and I don't want to risk getting anything on my shoes. Plus, they are super noisy. So I generally avoid cafeterias."

Woah, is he asking me, a person who he maybe hates, to eat lunch with him? In one of my special spots? Good Lord, don't let me be dreaming. Someone pinch me. On second thought, don't wake me up.

I smiled broadly and replied with enthusiasm,

"Sure! I would love to!"
