Hello, it's been awhile. My apologies.

Eren goes on a date with Levi, but Mikasa and Armin tagged along. Turns out, Levi came with company as well.

"So umm… Levi said that he won't be here for another 10 minutes or so," Eren informed his two friends that decided to tag along with him on his date but not really date. Eren wore white shorts that barely covered his butt. He had a long sleeved brown shirt. His feet were covered with white converses.

"Ugh, short ass is annoying. You would think with all the shit he says, he would be punctual," Mikasa grunted as she sat on an amp leaning her back on a wall in her heeless black boots. She wore a red tank top with brown shorts

"Mah, he is a busy man," Armin replied. The blonde was casually wearing a white button up shirt with dark jeans. He tied his hair back as he looked around, trying to find something to do. "You guys wanna jam without the horse?"

The trio left the horse to his own date with his mate. The three were at the meeting place that Eren had forced Levi to. Eren was sitting on a piano bench at "Reeve's Company," the one where he and the Noble Steed saw the advertisement for the competition they were currently a part of. The place was just a store both Eren and Levi knew very well enough to make it their meetup spot. The mall wasn't so busy since it was in the middle of the week.

As a results, Eren and his nosy friends were taking up a corner in the store since Levi was running a little late. Armin was sitting on a box drum that he dragged over to sit with Eren. While Mikasa left the wall, only to come back with an acoustic electric guitar. She plugged the guitar on to the amp.

"I'm ready," Mikasa announced.

"Bruh, we didn't even agreed to play yet," Eren rolled his eyes as he turned around in his seat, facing the keyboard.

"So what we playing?" Armin asked leaned forward, putting his hands on the box drum.

"Um… first song off the top of my head," Eren said as he played the piano briefly.

"Dude, I barely get to do anything," Armin complained.

"Well… not playing this song when it's actually fucking good is too sad," Eren replied smugly.

"You don't even have someone to sing this song to," Armin retorted.

"Yea, and you lost the person you could've sang it to," Eren threw back at Armin.

"Fucking bitch," Armin shook his head in disbelief as he chuckled a bit.

"Just start, I'm bored," Mikasa stated. "Besides, Armin, it's weird to play other songs without a bass."

"Whatever," Armin grumbled. "Are we doing acoustic?"

"Yea, so unplug that guitar Mikasa," Eren answered.

"I guess," Mikasa replied. "Even though I don't actually need to."

"'Kay, let's start," Eren ignored Mikasa as his fingers hovered over the keys on the keyboard. Armin signaled the time to start by lightly tapping on the box drum, it also gave them the tempo. Eren gave Mikasa the cue to go as he started singing and playing piano.

"Stay for tonight," Eren whispered softly. "If you want to, I can show you

what my dreams are made of as I'm dreaming of your face."

"I've been away for a long time, such a long time," Eren strained his voice to emphasized the words. "And I miss you there. I can't imagine being anywhere else, I can't imagine being anywhere else but here."

"How the hell did you ever pick me? Honestly, 'cause I could sing you a song, but I don't think words can express your beauty," Eren sand thinking of an imaginary boyfriend for himself. "It's singing to me."

"How the hell did we end up like this? You bring out the beast in me," Eren sang as he imagined strong arms holding him, because everyone fucking knows how bottom he was. "I fell in love from the moment we kissed. Since then, we've been history."

"They say that love is forever. Your forever is all that I need," Eren turned to his side and looked at Armin straight in the eyes. "Please stay as long as you need."

"Can't promise that things won't be broken, but I swear that I will never leave," Eren playfully sang the lyrics to Armin, who in turned rolled his eyes. "Please stay forever with me."

"If you want to, I can show you," Eren whispered almost inaudibly. "If you want to, I can show you."

"It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are," Eren smirked as he turned back to focus on the keyboard again. "What my dreams are made of."

"And I can't fall asleep. I lay in my bed awake at night," Eren sang with a face full of dreams. He imagined laying in bed with his loved one. "And I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love, it could mean everything."

"Everything to me ooh ooh," Eren sang as a matter of fact. "This could mean everything to me."

"They say that love is forever, your forever is all that I need," Eren looked at Mikasa and playfully licked his lips. Mikasa scoffed and rolled her eyes as well. "Please stay as long as you need

"Can't promise that things won't be broken, but I swear that I will never leave," Eren pouted in between the lyrics as Mikasa ignored him. "Please stay forever."

"The way that we are is the reason I stay," Eren lowered his voice to a soft tone. "As long as you're here with me, I know I'll be okay."

The three continued to play the instruments. They started to vocalizing in harmony, as the song went. Eren sat up straight as he played the piano piece he created years ago for the bridge of the song. As the bridge piece ended, he relaxed in his seat again.

"They say that love is forever your forever is all that I need," Eren raised his pitch as he strained his voice. "Please stay, please stay as long as you need."

"Can't promise that things won't be broken, but I swear that I will never leave," Eren smiled as he imagined pale fingers intertwined with his own. "Please stay forever with me."

"It goes to show I hope that you know that you are," Armin whispered softly. "What my dreams are made of."

"It goes to show I hope that you know that you are," Armin repeated as Eren's voice overlapped his own. "What my dreams are made of."

"Please stay, please stay as long as you need," Eren sang with desperation.

"It goes to show I hope that you know that you are," Armin continued to sing as Mikasa voice whispered as well. "What my dreams are made of."

"They say that love is forever, your forever is all that I need," Mikasa sang softly, overlapping with Armin's voice.

"It goes to show I hope that you know that you are," Armin repeated.

"They say that love is forever," Mikasa repeated as well.

"Please stay forever with me," Eren sang as the final line cut his friends' repetition short.

The three stopped playing and looked at each other. They silently acknowledged one another's work. Eren spun around in his seat with a grin. Armin looked at Eren with unimpressed eyes. Mikasa rolled her own eyes again.

"I swear, I'm going to make this my wedding song," Eren announced.

"If you can find someone who even wants to marry you," Armin smirked from his own snide remarks.

"Armin, please, in the end, he'll be asking you to marry him if no one else will," Mikasa smirked as well. "That's your future backup husband."

"Nah man, I don't need him," Armin replied with a shook of his head.

"You guys are really fucking rude," Eren pouted.

"Then I'll take him as a backup."

The trio turned to see the owner of the voice. Eren blushed a bit as he grinned at the black haired short man. Levi was wearing a white button up shirt with black jeans. Behind him were Hanji and Farlan.

"Levi! You came here fast," Eren replied.

"And with company," Armin commented disapprovingly.

"If you haven't noticed, you are company as well," Levi retorted.

"Mah, at least you brought good company," Armin replied, ignoring Levi's contempt in favor of looking at Farlan and Hanji. He gave Hanji an offhanded wave as a greeting. He then focused on Farlan. "Hey, nice to see that you've come."

"Nice to see you too. I just came to make sure Levi wouldn't be rude to his date," Farlan informed them. "Isabel wanted to come too, but she had work."

"Practically shoved yourself in my car," Levi rolled his eyes.

"But Eren is so cute, I have to make sure you don't lose this one," Farlan pouted.

"Yea, Shortstack," Hanji jumped into the conversation as he put his arm around Levi's neck, weighing him down. "We can't let this cutiepie out of sight, especially when you already started writing."

"Hanji, shut the fuck up," Levi growled as he shoved his friend off of him.

"What are you guys talking about?" Eren innocently asked.

"Nothing, sweet baby," Hanji smiled at Eren as Levi glared Hanji down.

"So are we going to go?" Mikasa asked. "Also, shorty, are you paying for all of us? Or are you letting your juniors pay for themselves, your juniors still in high school?"

"Fuck your teenage selves. The only person I am willing to pay for is Eren," Levi stated as a matter of fact.

"I'll pay for you Mikasa," Hanji smiled a different type of smile as he faced Mikasa. The raven haired girl nodded in response.

"I guess I'll pay for you," Farlan looked at Armin nervously.

"Aww, baby, thanks," Armin smirked.

"Levi! Fries! Ice Cream!" Eren exclaimed as he stood in front of the short man.

"Yes, I know, you brat," Levi grumbled as he put his arm around Eren's neck and pulled him down to his eye level. He started walking the brat out of the store with their company following, "Brat thinks that he can coerce me into doing whatever he wants with his eyes."

"It's not my fault that I'm so adorable," Eren smirked.

"Yea, right," Levi responded as he pinched Eren's cheek before he let him go.

"Aww," Armin cooed at the scene before him as he followed Levi and Eren with the rest of the group. The blonde suddenly became serious. "But seriously."

"If he fucks up," Mikasa eyed the pair before her as well.

"I'll kill him," Armin and Mikasa declared angrily at the same time. The two eyed at each other cautiously. "Jinx!"

"Double jinx!" Mikasa quickly said. Armin gasped and looked at his lady friend in horror.

"Mikasa! You bitch," Armin dramatically exclaimed with a hand over his chest.

"Suck it, bitch," Mikasa smirked as she casually looked at her nails.

"What the hell!" Hanji started laughing at the two. "You guys are so fucking weird."

"And hella blood thirsty," Farlan commented.

"Hey, we are not weird," Armin clarified.

"But we are blood thirsty," Mikasa said.

"Eren may be a little bitch," Armin stated with a sigh.

"But he's our little bitch," Mikasa sighed as well.

"I'm feeling the love for Eren," Hanji nodded as he chuckled.

"Ah, but if we don't catch up soon, the two of them will disappear from sight," Farlan informed the group as he looked on ahead to the short raven disappearing from the crowds and the tall brunette running from them.

"Ugh, hurry up oldtimers," Armin said with urgency in his voice to their older friends. He watched his brunette of a friend disappear in the corner. The blonde grabbed onto Farlan's wrist and pulled him forward.

"They're gonna get lost and then Eren will cry like the little bitch he is," Mikasa explained as she grabbed Hanji's wrist and pulled him forward as well.

The four of them rushed through the crowd. Farlan tripped from Armin pulling him. The blonde quickly caught him and apologized for being too rough. Farlan laughed it off saying that it was okay. Armin apologized again with a smirk as he grabbed Farlan. He threw the older man over his shoulder, not passing up the opportunity to grab the man's ass.

Hanji went ahead of Mikasa and pulled her forward instead. She couldn't keep up because Hanji was excreting a weird sense of excitement high off on drugs. Hanji eventually stopped and pulled Mikasa into his arms, laughing maniacally while carrying Mikasa bridal style. The ravenette was questioning her life as she tried to reason how she ended up like this. She blamed Eren.

As they turned around the corner, they stopped abruptly. Hanji put Mikasa down and Armin set Farlan on his feet. They looked at the pair in front of them. Levi looked at like he was at lost on what to do. Eren was on his phone, about to cry like a little baby as he bit his lower lip. He was oozing with stress and worry. His hands were trembling and his eyes were wandering around the area. The brunette looked up and saw his friends. He put his phone down as he looked relieved. Mikasa and Armin walked up to Eren. Levi, Hanji, and Farlan quietly watched.

"Where did you guys go?" Eren questioned with a sad desperate groan. Armin and Mikasa both flinched, but only for a second so that Eren wouldn't noticed.

"Aww baby, what are you talking about?" Armin replied nonchalantly as he patted Eren's head. "You were so excited that you ran off."

"Yea, you were so eager on courting your first dick that you just left us in the dust," Mikasa stated as a matter of fact. "I didn't know that you had wet dreams about small dicks."

"Hey, my dick is perfectly normal in size," Levi growled.

"Mikasa! What the fuck! I hate you guys," Eren pouted and playfully glared at his two friends.

"Come on, baby, you know you love us," Armin smirked as he nibbled on Eren's cheek. He then rubbed his cheek against Eren, making the brunette laugh.

"Stop it, it's gross." the boy tried to push his blonde friend away.

"You know you like it," Armin laughed as he backed off.

"Lol, shut up!" Eren pouted. "Let's go get ice cream and fries."

"And what does our little fairy want to get his fries from?" Hanji asked playfully, deducting that everything was okay now.

"It better not be shitty," Levi grumbled.

"You'll see, you'll all see," Eren announced in a very sarcastic voice.

The group followed Eren's lead to the food court. The place wasn't very packed, seeing as it was a weekday. None of them weren't necessarily hungry, but a little snack wouldn't hurt them. Especially since the snack was the main purpose of them being there. The brunette pointed out which restaurant he wanted his fries and ice cream from. Needless to say, Levi was not pleased with Eren's greasy choice, but he complied with Eren's request when the boy started to pout. Levi and his friends went to pay for the food, as Eren and his friends went to find a table for all of them.

The young trio found a table arrangement for three chairs in a row, facing each other. Eren sat in the middle as Armin took his right and Mikasa took his left. They left the seats in front of them for their dates. They looked at each other, but decided to touch their own phones instead. They all grabbed their phones, pretending to do something as they each conversed with themselves in their own heads.

Eren, forgetting about how upset he was before, was leaking with happiness. It was his first time being on a date. At most, he only held hands with another man, and that ended horribly. The boy thought that Levi was a little overwhelming at first, but now he understood that the man gave in so easily to him. The past few days, Levi replied to all Eren's texts, despite how much he complained about it. He would also attempt to dismiss himself when Eren asked certain questions about him. Only sometimes did he get away without answering a question. In Eren's eyes, the man was awkwardly adorable. The boy giggled to himself.

Armin was thinking to himself, trying to figure out a way to formally ask the dancer out. Quite personally, the strategist couldn't understand the white blonde. The man seemed oblivious, but at the same time, not really. All Armin's attempts to advance on the man were masterfully brushed to the side with a casual attitude. The white blonde didn't even crack a single information about himself when Armin was texting him the past few days. It ticked the blonde off so much that he was finding himself more and more serious about courting the man. The blonde teenage boy pursed his lips, trying to hide his smile. He was going to have fun with this conquest, wasn't he?

Mikasa was wondering just how crazy Hanji really was. Compare to herself, the man was outgoing. The girl found that fascinating about the man, but he was really crossing boundaries fast. The man was overbearing, but he a good heart. In addition, sometimes being overbearing was better than not caring at all or at least pretending to not care. The raven haired girl didn't even know if they could be consider friends. Heck, she didn't even know why she was thinking about the man. She couldn't fall in love, and yet, she always found herself looking at the man since they formally met.

All three of the young trio looked up, stopping each of their own conversations, when the older trio came back to them. They casually placed their phones back into their pockets. The older trio paid it no mind as they sat down, Hanji in front of Mikasa, Farlan in front of Armin, and Levi in front of Eren. Before them were trays with fries and ice cream.

"Thank you," the young trio expressed their gratitude to their older dates.

"Aww, so adorable," Hanji exclaimed.

"It was my pleasure," Farlan smiled gently.

"Whatever," Levi grumbled.

The younger trio each grabbed a fry and dipped it into their ice cream to eat. Levi looked at them with horror as Hanji was trying so hard to hold in his laughter. Farlan lightly chuckled when he saw Levi's face. The young trio looked at them with questioning faces.

"You all are disgusting," Levi grumbled as he picked up a fry and ate it.

"Bruh, don't judge what you don't know, especially since you haven't tried it," Armin calmly responded.

"Yes, old man, what my blondie said. Though I guess your body can't take eating these treats anymore. Don't wanna have to wait for you as you explode in the bathroom," Mikasa retorted.

"What the fuck, Mikasa?!" Eren bursted into laughter with Hanji.

"Har, har," Levi rolled his eyes. "How long are you going to use the old man joke?"

"Until it doesn't bother you," Mikasa deadpanned.

"Great," Levi replied sarcastically.

"On the other hand," Hanji started as he ate his fries. "Have you guys decided on what to do for the next song?"

"Isn't discussing this against work ethics?" Armin questioned.

"Not really. It's fine as long as we don't actually help you guys," Hanji replied.

"I guess. We haven't decided," Armin nodded as he turned to his friends. "What was the theme anyways?"

"Friendship," Eren reminded his friend.

"What is with these themes?" Farlan asked.

"They're themes that rock songs are about, although technically they are pretty fucking prevalent to all types of music," Levi answered. "So honestly, I don't even fucking know."

"Friendship, huh," Armin thought to himself.

"Eren, can I choose the song?" Mikasa inquired in all seriousness.

"Um… I guess," Eren replied. "Why so serious, yo?"

"Just thinking," Mikasa said.

"What song you thinking about?" Farlan asked Mikasa.

"Three Days Grace," Mikasa answered as she looked at her friends. "Never Too Late."

"Sounds cool," Eren said. "But, again, why so serious, yo?"

"Because friendship is a real thing that runs deep, Eren," Mikasa replied with a fake hurt face. "Or do I not mean so much to you?"

"Mikasa," Eren put a hand over his chest as he pretended to be emotionally touched. "You know that you're the only girl for me."

"Eren," Mikasa breathlessly replied as she put one of her hands over Eren's.

"Bruh, I haven't seen this shit in a while," Armin chuckled.

"That's because you're always doing it with Eren," Mikasa rolled her eyes as she continued to eat.

"You guys are so weird, but it's cute to see how close you guys are," Hanji smiled as he looked at Mikasa. The girl briefly made eye contact and quickly looked away.

"But yes, you guys are really close," Farlan chuckled. "Even Levi doesn't do that with me, and I've known him longer than anyone in Wings of Freedom."

"That's because both you and Isabel will definitely take it too fucking far," Levi looked at his childhood friend with a face of disbelief.

"Hey, as long as we're not in real relationships, we can do anything can't we?" Farlan reasoned. "It's not like we were going to have sex with you, Levi. Isabel and I have standards."

"And I don't cut it?" Levi asked with a devilish smirk as he rested his head on his hand, staring at Farlan with bedroom eyes.

"Why don't we find out, sweetie?" Farlan placed a hand on Levi's shoulder, bringing his chest closer to Levi.

"Don't forget to invite me," Hanji put a hand on Levi's other shoulder as he winked at Farlan.

The younger trio stared at the scene before them. Unbeknownst to one another, they were all thinking the exact same thing. "What the entire fuck was happening in front of them?"

"Aww, look, the babies are frozen in shock," Hanji commented with a raspy voice.

"Looks like they're too green to play with the adults," Levi smirked as he sexually licked his lips.

"Even though we could show them a whole new world," Farlan playfully bit his lower lip as he winked at Armin.

"Stop!" Eren exclaimed with a blush. The brunette looked at his two friends. "Oh dear god. Are we like that all the time?"

"Nah uh, bruh, never do I try to make people that uncomfortable," Armin coughed a bit. "And that's coming from me."

"I have no idea what I just saw," Mikasa looked at her friends helplessly.

They didn't even need to tell each other to know that they were all turned on. They had just realized that they were kids to be all hot and bothered from only that. They had a lot to learn, especially Eren. The older trio bursted out in laughter as they watched their juniors struggled with calming themselves down.

The group continued with their conversations as they finished their fries and ice cream. They walked around the mall, stopping every so often because of Eren. The brunette looked through so much shit that Levi just resigned himself to being milked out of his money for the day.

At a clothing store, Mikasa and Armin separated themselves as they looked for clothes for themselves. Eren was off somewhere with Levi. Hanji followed Mikasa and Farlan followed Armin. It was like they were on a group date.

"Are you thinking about getting something?" Hanji asked Mikasa as she looked through clothes. "I'll pay for it."

"That's quite alright," Miasa replied as she put a shirt back on the rack. "I think I can handle myself."

"Just take my money. I have a lot of money anyways," Hanji retorted with a pout. "Just think of it as a thanks for making my day fun."

"Did I?" Mikasa inquired.

"Yea, you guys are so funny," Hanji chuckled.

"I see," Mikasa nodded. The girl stopped moving her hands as she turned to look at Hanji. "But what is it that you're trying to do?"

"Courting," Hanji answered confidently. "I've never met someone more interesting than Levi."

"That's nice," Mikasa faintly smiled as she turned back to continue to look through clothes. "But I'm not interested."

"Hmm," Hanji thought to himself as he studied Mikasa's reaction. "Why?"

"I don't have time for relationships," Mikasa answered in a honest voice that sounded desperately lonely.

"I don't entirely believe you," Hanji responded as he stepped forward. He put his head on Mikasa's shoulder and looked at her. The raven haired girl glanced at the man with an unreadable face. "Does it have something to do with Eren? You seem extremely attentive of him."

"I'm sorry, Hanji," Mikasa softly replied. "But Eren is my first and only priority. I don't have time for relationships."

On the other side of the store, Armin was looking through clothes. He grabbed a shirt and placed it in front of his chest. He then turned to face Farlan with a sarcastic smile.

"Do I look sexy in this?" Armin joked.

"Why, yes, you look sexy in that," Farlan joked back.

"Okay, tell me honestly," Armin dropped all sexual pretenses as he put the shirt back. "You know that I am courting you, right?"

"You mean all your sexual attempts?" Farlan condescendingly smirked. "Of course. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to see that."

"Then why do you keep brushing me off as if you don't know anything?" Armin asked in real confusion. "Come on, I know you think I'm hot."

"Yea, you are. You're probably sexy as fuck in bed," Farlan licked his lips.

"Then just accept me already," Armin replied as he stepped forward, placing his forehead against Farlan's.

"I don't think so," Farlan softly chuckled.

"Why not?" Armin whine.

"I may not be as smart as you, but I'm not stupid," Farlan sexually smiled.

"What do you mean?" Armin inquired.

"You and I both know that even in a relationship, I won't be your first priority," Farlan answered as he stepped back. "You're not romantically interested in me like you are for the little fairy."

"What are you talking about?" Armin clenched his teeth and then scoffed. "I'm not in love with Eren."

"Don't play dumb, little boy," Farlan playfully wagged his index finger against his lips. "I won't ask why you won't pursue him, but don't try to set me up for a broken heart."

"Huh," Armin breathed out. He stood there silently with pursed lips. Things were starting to make sense for him. "That's right, above anything else, Eren will always be first for me."

The day ended with Eren's possible relationship moving forward while Mikasa's and Armin's fell into a stalemate.

So... thanks for reading. The story is going to get pretty dramatic in a couple of chapters. I love you all, thanks for reading. :)

Oh yea, the song is James Dean and Audrey Hepburn by Sleeping with Sirens.
