Im already like halfway through with the 5th chapter so expect another one in a few hours lol

Eren POV

"Are you sure you have taken out the trash?" Armin asked for the billionth time.

"Yes." I answered back, a little too sharply. I was a little angry, though. Armin had been hounding me about cleaning ever since I told him about Levi's coming over. He had wanted to make a good impression. He said it was because Levi's profile said he was clean and he didn't want Levi to think that we were disgusting, but I knew better. I knew Armin was seriously hoping that Levi moved in ever since he learned that Levi was also gay. It wasn't so much a hope for romance but more a hope for a connection with someone who was also gay.

He has me, though… I thought and then shook my head.

I am NOT gay. I am simply a confused virgin.

I still sometimes reflected on my reaction to not getting with Annie though. I had been so relieved when I woke up the next morning to see a text from Mikasa that read:

From: Sister

Annie is a taken lesbian.

Then

From: Sister

Why?

I had punched in some bullshit line about just being curious. I did wonder about who was Annie's girlfriend, though. I had mentioned it to Armin and he immediately said that it was probably Mikasa.

"It's Mikasa." Armin stated while casually stirring his morning coffee at the kitchen table.

"What!?" I dropped my spoon into my tea, (I couldn't stand coffee).

"Mmmmhmmmm. Think about it, Eren. Mikasa is in a dorm room with her. Annie and Mikasa get along, and no one else really gets along with either of them. Annie is a lesbian. Mikasa is bisexual. It was bound to happen." He explained calmly.

"Mikasa is bisexual?" I was definitely surprised. I had never even thought about it before.

"Yeah."

"Mikasa told you that?"

"She didn't really have to. We both know she dated guys, but I could also feel queer vibes coming from her. So, she must be attracted to both guys and girls. Therefore, Mikasa is bisexual." Armin took a sip of his coffee and then continued. "Also, once about a month after she had started dorming with Annie, I asked her if she was getting along with Annie and she said, 'We're more than getting along; We're more than friends, you could say'".

"Wow." I couldn't help but be a little jealous.

"Why didn't Mikasa tell me this?"

"Because she knew you had sexuality issues of your own." Armin gave me a pointed look and sipped his coffee. My jaw dropped.

"I- I-I'm straight. There's no question about it! I mean, I had asked about Annie because I had wanted to be with her."

"Eren, homos can practically smell each other." He looked piercingly into my eyes.

"Well you don't smell it on me!"

"So you've never ever thought about another guy like that?" I turned dark red. Just that morning I had been thinking about a small dark haired boy in my calculus class. I had jacked off thinking about his mouth all over me. I shook my head violently and covered my face with my hands.

"Armin!" I squeaked out.

"Eren, are you homophobic?" Again, I was shocked. Only this time, I was shocked and offended.

"No! Of course not! There is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay!" Armin sipped his coffee again while maintaining direct eye contact.

"Then why are you so emotional about wanting other men? I'm openly gay, Eren. You know that. I can help you work through your feelings if you would just talk to me."

"I-I mean. I have thought about… certain things…."I saw Armin nod knowingly.

"These "certain things" involve other men?" I looked away, twisting my jacket in my hands with nervousness.

"Eren, talk to me. I hate thinking about you suffering in the closet when I'm openly gay and supposed to be your best friend." The "supposed to" he slipped in cut me pretty deep. I tried to think about it from his point of view, and yeah, I guess I could see where he was coming from.

"I sometimes," I started, then stopped. I took a deep breath then continued, "Guys sometimes get me really excited. I-I-"

"Gentle reminder that I'm really gay and will have no judgments at all. Even if you say you want to be ferociously anally fisted while choking on another guys di-"

"ARMIN ARLET!" I didn't know what else to say. My heart was pounding. I wasn't expecting to be so directly confronted about this.

"What? Eren, I'm just saying you're safe discussing this with me." How could he be so calm about this? I was freaking out.

"O-okay."

"Also, if you ever need any advice about dating another guy, I'm here. I have topped and bottomed, too, so don't be scared to ask me about all the mechanics of anal sex." I was screaming in my head.

"Okay! Thank! Gotta go!" I ran out the door ignoring Armin's laughter and calling my name.

I had walked to a local tea shop, then, to have my tea in peace. Before I had even ordered I had a new text.

From: Armin

You okay?

I sighed as I ordered my breakfast tea, noticing a cute little barista. He was about 5"4 and had dark brown hair and a gentle smile. God, I might be gay.

To: Armin

Yeah. I'm fine. Just getting tea and calming down.

From: Armin

At Jason's Corner Bakery? Isn't the barista a cutie?

To: Armin

Fuck you.

That might have been a bit too harsh. I sent another text a moment later.

To: Armin

Yeah, he is. I think I might have a type.

From: Armin

Small, dark hair guys?

To: Armin

Yeah

From: Armin

I knew it.

I snorted out loud. The cutie in discussion looked at me weirdly as he handed me my tea. I blushed and thanked him as took the warm cup and sat down at one of the little tables.

I reread our messages one more time. God, I loved Armin.

I was pulled out of my thoughts of Armin by Armin himself.

"Levi is coming here today, Eren! Please, tell me everything in your room is clean!"

"Armin! He's here to check out the empty room, not mine!" It wasn't like it was guaranteed that Levi would moving in with us. Even if he did, he wouldn't be spending a lot of time in my room anyway.

"Still, Eren, I don't want him to run away because you happen to like wallowing in 3 feet of filth at all times." Armin leaned against the wall of the living room where I was currently sitting on our couch, just playing on my laptop. His hair was pushed back out of his eyes with a hairband, creating a little fan of sticking up hair at his crown. I wanted to laugh, but I knew he looked that way because he was still cleaning. I suddenly felt a little guilty for just messing around. It was only 10 am though! Most college kids would still be asleep.

"Why did I even make it so early?" I asked aloud to no one in particular.

"Why indeed," Armin snarked back. I huffed off the couch, shutting my laptop and gestured for him to follow me. He did and we padded barefoot down to my room.

I threw open the door with my usual amount of force expecting that pile of dirty clothes that sat behind the door to catch it, but I had cleaned and the door banged loudly into the wall.

"Jeez, Eren, calm do- woah man, it is clean in here. When did you do this?" He stepped in, looking around. I had finally cleared off all the surfaces of my room, and did the laundry and took out the trash. Those three basic tasks were 90% of my mess; I had just been too lazy and apathetic to do it. I had wiped down everything, vacuumed, and even lit an apple cinnamon candle and set it on my desk. I even opened my curtains and let in some natural light, for fuck's sake.

"I did it while you were studying in the library one night. You're working real hard on that biology project aren't you?" Armin shifted a little. Huh. Weird.

"Is there something worrying you about the biology project?" He was a bio major, and a genius at biology, so I knew he wasn't having trouble with the actual work load. I hoped some people from his class weren't giving him a hard time. I could remember a few times when I had to casually drop a few names into Mikasa's lap for her to take care of. They never fucked with Armin again.

God. I wish I could kick ass like my sister. No one would fuck with Armin ever again with two of us around. He could feel safe all the time.

"I think I might have a crush." What. The. Fuck.

"Already?" I asked without thinking, then I mentally hit myself in the face. That was rude. Gosh. I mean, I wanted him to get over Jean, I just didn't think it would happen so fast. I counted in my head. It had been about 9 weeks since Marco and Jean were caught by Mikasa, and about 6 weeks since Jean moved out. Well, actually, that seemed reasonable. I guess the time just flew by so quick with all the tears and cleaning.

"Yeah…" Armin shuffled out of my room, blushing. I went after him.

"Well, tell me about him." I sat down on the couch and motioned for Armin to do the same. He glanced nervously at the clock. It was 10:30. "We have plenty of time for a chat before Levi shows up."

He sat down and with a breath said, "You're not gonna like this." Uh-oh.

"Why?" I was nervous now. "Is he mean to you? Armin, I will – no Mikasa and I will – take care –" I felt anger begin to curl up inside of me.

"No!" Armin said, frantically waving his hands around. "He's… he's my professor." Fuck.

"Really?" I asked. Armin nodded weakly. I tried to relax my body so as not to scare Armin. I took a few moments to process this information, and I could see Armin getting more and more uncomfortable.

"Which one?" I asked.

"Professor Smith." He was tugging at his shirt and playing with the fabric in his hands.

"Hey, buddy." He looked up at me. "I think it's great you have a crush. Fuck Jean."

He laughed, "I wish I hadn't."

"For fuck's sake Armin, ugh. Don't give me those visuals." We laughed together, and it was probably the best I had felt in a while. I was always so tense, thinking about my sexuality and avoiding the topic. Armin was always tense in his own way about Jean. Here we were, casually discussing his new crush and laughing about gay sex. It felt so good.

We talked causually until Armin's phone went off.

"Oh! I set an alarm for 11:45! I thought we might get distracted and I wanted to make sure we were ready for Levi." Armin really did think of everything.

"Good job thinking of that, Armin. I'll check my messages to see if he's said anything, and you go change out of your cleaning clothes. Maybe leave the hair though, he might think it's cute." I teased. Armin's hands flew up to his hair and felt the hairband.

"Oh no! My hair's gonna be sticking straight up now!" He dashed away to fix his clothes and hair, and I unlocked my phone to see if Levi had sent anything. He had.

I'm leaving for the apartment now, I should be there exactly at noon.

Holy shit. This guy must not be any fun at all. Seriously. He loves clean and being 'exactly' on time. God. I was kind of regretting asking him first now.

I got up and knocked gently on Armin's door. He opened the door shirtless and in new pants. His hair was out of the hair band and now his bangs were fanned out, sticking nearly straight up.

"Wow, man. Answer the door like that. Maybe he's into spikey haired shirtless gay boys with cheesy white boy tattoos." Armin stuck his tounge out at me while putting the hair band back on with a sigh. Armin had a stereotypical bird with a rose in its mouth on his right pec. It was very cheesy, and Armin loved it.

"It's cool and you know it."

"Next why don't you get a Japanese word tattooed on you. How bout the word 'okama'? It means water." He stared at me, shocked. He and I had both studied Japanese when we were in highschool together, and he knew it most certainly did not mean water. I smiled, holding my tongue between my teeth at him.

He made the first move, punching me lightly on the shoulder while laughing. It was on, then. I hit him back on the shoulder. He fake punched me and we continued back and forth. We were just working up a sweat when the doorbell rang. Armin let out a very high pitched shriek and made a grab for a shirt. I laughed.

"Levi's here."

"I fucking noticed, Eren! Go let him the fuck in!"

"Such language."

"Eren!"

I left his room and yelled, "Coming!" down the hall.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead while I unlocked the door. I opened it, finally seeing Levi.

He was short, even shorter than the cute barista at the bakery. He dressed casually in jeans, a red button up, a leather jacket over it, and a fuzzy scarf that matched his eyes to top it all off. I could tell he had some build, but he wasn't super muscular like our friend Reiner. He had black hair styled in an undercut, and his gray eyes were narrowed at me. He tugged his gray scarf out from the way of his face and I saw his tongue peek out to lick his thin lips. I felt my face heat up and I knew I was blushing.

"I-I-" I stuttered.

I was fucked.

Im still trying to decide how fast I should bring on the M rated stuff... I think i need more eren "omg im gay" angst hmmm
