The body underneath him shuddered and released a moan before menstruations along the neck were continued. The kisses were long and ended with a hard nip at the skin; each bite would reward him with another moan. Those moans would sound like angels singing in his ears and would send more blood rushing down in his pants. Suddenly clothes became too constricting. He stripped the body below him to reveal amazingly toned muscle, and that made a groan of pleasure leave his mouth as he ran his hands along them. The person below him gave a smirk before pulling the other into a tongue filled kiss. There was a fight for dominance until both needed breath. He kissed along the neck once more, biting down harder and making sure to leave a mark. This time a name escaped lips, "Eren."

Eren shot out of bed in a sweat, not remembering when he fell asleep. He glanced at the clock, and it read that it was five in the afternoon. He sighed running his hand to try and air out his matted hair. Who was that below him? Why was it a guy? He only showed interest in women, well at least he was pretty sure he did. Recently Eren noticed himself losing interest in the opposite sex, but Annie was a different story. He did have some interest in her. She was pretty, smart, and funny. Why wouldn't he want to date her? 'That was definitely a guy. It's normal to have those kind of dreams, right? I mean I have Annie, I don't need to be having dreams about some dude that sounded really familiar…' Eren drifted off into his thoughts as he pushed himself up from the bed and made his way down the short hallway down to the bathroom.

Mikasa was resting on the couch with a book in hand, and she looked up to give Eren a small greeting before he disappeared. With a flick of his wrist the lights came on, and stung at his eyes. Eren gave a small groan as his eyes adjusted, and he then stripped himself of his sweaty clothes and hopped into the warming up shower. This was really going to be a long week now. Maybe if he just focused on homecoming he wouldn't have to worry so much about what kind of dreams he is having. One thing was for sure, he couldn't let anyone know about it.

It seemed first hour was going to be the longest part of the day. Sitting next to Levi everyday had suddenly become more difficult. Eren did he best not to seem suspicious as he stole glances at his target. He tried to make a game out of this little "task" Armin had asked of him. Levi didn't seem to even glance in his general direction. Eren frowned and crossed his arms and tried to focus on the teacher for once. Levi's scratching of notes could be heard, and it was getting annoying. Eren glanced over to now see Levi twirling the pen as the teacher spoke and wrote on the whiteboard. Another pointless attempt to see what Armin was talking about. Eren now chose to stare at his desk, and drawing pictures in his notebook. He never really took notes in his English class; he really didn't see a point. Then there was the sound of a pen dropping, and Eren felt something hit his feet.

The brunet glanced to see that Levi's pen had slipped from his grasp and was now resting by his foot. Eren kicked it out of Levi's reach and he turned his head to see him glaring daggers. It was Eren's turn to ignore Levi. In order to seem more distracted, Eren actually wrote down a word or two from notes, "Eren."

He froze. That sounded extremely familiar, it sounded like the voice in the dream. Eren didn't move a muscle and Levi was about to get up to grab the pen. That was when Eren moved to pick it up, remembering that Armin also asked him to be nicer to Levi, and handed that shorter teen the black pen. The grey eyed teen looked shock but took it from Eren, carefully avoiding hand contact. "Uh, thanks I guess."

That was the second time Eren had been thanked by his so-called rival. Those two thanks happened in such a short time of each other too. Eren frowned; it felt strange to be nice to Levi again. It was definitely something he wasn't going to get used to. "Alright, class. We are going to do a quick partner assignment; you can pick your own partners. Get together and I will tell you what we will be doing."

Chatter quickly filled the room and the sound of desk hitting each other as friends partnered up together, and laughter was heard from some parts of the room. Eren was about to leave to go partner with his usual go to guy Reiner, but he was already with the new guy Bertlhodlt or something like that. "Hey, idiot. You want to be partners?"

Eren turned back around to look at Levi like he was that idiot, "It's not like we really have much of choice, fucker. I would hate to be paired with someone I can't tolerate for more than a second."

"So you can tolerate me for more than second?"

Levi glowered at him as gave an easy tug at Eren's desk to pull him over, "Honestly, I'm more interested in why you have been watching me for the past twenty-five minutes. So yes, I can tolerate you for more than a second."

The brunet tried his best to look confused, "Watching you? Dude, you're just being paranoid. You do know you are right by the window right? I actually like looking outside believe or not."

Levi raised a thin brow, before going to his default expression, "Whatever you say, brat."

"Are you incapable of saying my name like a normal person? You said it earlier, why can't you say it now?"

There was flash of emotion that went through those icy grey eyes, and Eren couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. Maybe he struck something, and maybe that something was going to help him get answers. There was something muttered by Levi but it was blocked by the teacher explaining the assignment. Write a Puritan based poem, and have some sort of picture to go with it. Eren grinned, he could do the drawing. He was actually decent at art, and Levi was the best writer. So it seemed them partnering up hadn't been that bad of an idea. "I guess us being partners wasn't that bad of an idea."

The raven haired teen voiced the brunets thoughts. Eren nodded before he looked at Levi, actually ready to participate with the class today. "So what is the poem going to be based on? I need a basic understanding so I can draw this thing out."

The two discussed it quickly, and then resumed to work. Eren would glance at the poem from time to time to help him with the picture, and he would be at awe from Levi's fancy handwriting. All the letters would seamlessly loop together, and it was beautiful. Eren knew he would never be able to write like that. His handwriting was barely legible, but he could draw well so he really didn't seem to care much about that. "Hey Levi?"

There was a hum in response, "What did you say earlier? I couldn't hear you over the project being explained. Plus you mumbled."

Levi paused for a minute, glancing up at Eren through his long lashes. "I said sorry."

Eren froze, unable to react. Levi apologizing to him was the last thing he thought he would hear in a long time. Though he still didn't connect this with what Armin had said the day before. Maybe he was just apologizing for...for...Eren couldn't think of anything. He only nodded and resumed his drawing. He noticed that those grey eyes watched him closely for a few moments longer than necessary before resuming his work.

That was the first A he got in English in a long time.

History suddenly seemed less tense. From the friendlier interaction earlier in the day, Levi seemed to be less reluctant to work with Eren. "How much work have you gotten done, Eren? I don't want to do all of this damned project."

The brunet dropped his backpack down and sat in his seat. The class was still filtering in, "Hmm, I have completed napping and more napping."

Levi sighed through his nose, "Of course. Here," The teen pulled out a small book that had Napoleon on the cover and passed it to Eren. Their fingers brushed, "This should at least allow you to do something. We still need a conclusion and a few more facts. Then we need to through a poster together. I can get everything but we will need to see up a date to meet up to make it. Today is the last day we get to work on everything in class."

Eren sneered and put his feet up on the desk, but the sneer was quickly replaced with a smirk, "You said my name."

"Yeah, I did."

The brunet took note of that and noticed that Levi had managed to start rambling for short time. He usually only did that when he felt comfortable enough around the person. Eren started to feel worry go through his system. Levi seemed to already be comfortable around Eren, and now the teen wasn't so sure Levi actually disliked him as much as he thought.

When class got out, Levi lingered to put everything away in his backpack. He flipped through some papers to double check they were the correct ones as he neatly filed them away in a white binder. Eren tossed the book Levi handed to him into his bag and was getting ready to leave before a voice stopped him. He almost had Mr. Smith smack into him, but the teacher made his way around him with a quick apology. "What?"

Levi stared at him, "I just wanted to ask you a quick question."

Eren rolled his eyes and turned to face him, "Yeah?"

The short teen opened his mouth, and Eren suddenly felt a hand in his. He glanced over to see Annie looking up at him with a small smile. She pulled him down to give him a quick peck, and Eren greeted her before returning his attention to Levi. Levi had his backpack on and wasn't looking at him anymore. "What were you going to ask me?"

"Nothing," Levi pushed passed him and seemed to be in more of hurry than earlier, "It was nothing."

The football player had left the room and Eren stood with perplexed expression. "Well that was weird."

Annie voiced his thoughts. Eren nodded his head in agreement. Weird was on way to word it, but to Eren it seemed more suspicious if anything. He shrugged the idea off, and pulled Annie's hand as he took the lead of going out into the crowded hallway. Each day more and more teens got excited about the upcoming homecoming dance. Eren wasn't exactly thrilled, content was a better word to describe the feeling he had. He couldn't dance well, and was going to have to warn Annie to watch her feet. He glanced down at the said blonde. She seemed to be deep and thought most likely thinking of her classes or what she was going to do for homecoming.

It was funny how a sense of guilt flooded through him, and Eren knew exactly why. He tried to push the feeling down as the two reached his locker. Armin was there, and so was Jean. The two were chatting and there was an occasional chuckle. Eren cleared his throat and Jean threw Eren a glare, "The fuck you want Jaeger?"

"Oh just to get into my locker, since you are in front of it horseface."

Jean's face went red, "You asshole!"

"I think horses are cute."

It was quiet but everyone heard it and glanced at Armin. Eren laughed, Annie chuckled and Jean blushed madly. "I-I'll see you outside Armin."

Jean left with his head in his hands. "You really pick 'em Armin."

Armin frowned, "You're one to talk. I remember a certain Ti-"

"Wow look at the time Annie, we should really get going."

Eren quickly tugged Annie along with him, refusing to go over a list of his past girlfriends. That was something he learned not to do in front of his current girlfriend. Of course he was sure Annie was well aware of his past dating history, but he liked to think he cooled down as the years went by. Annie gave him a glare, knowing exactly where Armin was heading. Eren threw her an apologetic smile, and in the process of not paying attention he ended up slamming into someone's back. That someone just happened to be one of the angrier people he knew.

Levi turned around, and the expression on his face made Eren jump. Annie matched the look with equal intensity. Levi glowered at her before glancing Eren, his expression easing slightly, "Watch where you are going, dork. Oh, actually I recalled that question I was going to ask you."

The brunet didn't realize Levi had forgotten, and suddenly Annie was gripping his hand tighter than before. Eren clicked his tongue at her, "Go ahead and ask."

Levi cleared his throat and shifted his weight to one foot as he crossed his arms across his chest. He cocked his head slightly, "I was wondering if you wanted to get together after my practice and knock this project out of the way. It's due on Friday."

"Dude, I just got that book from you, there is no way I can get anything completely done tonight."

Levi sighed and ran a hand through his undercut, "I know, but I'll be there to help you out."

Eren stiffened slightly at the sudden friendliness, this was speeding along at too fast of a pace. He was actually unsure of how to react, his mouth hung open slightly but before he could give an answer, Annie gave one for him, "He's busy this afternoon."

"I am? Ow! That fucking hurt," Eren hissed through his teeth as the blonde hit him with her sharp elbow. "Well apparently I'm busy, sorry Levi. Maybe tomorrow after school?"

Levi gave him a suspicious look, "Sure. We can just go straight to my house so don't just shoot off after history, okay?"

"Yeah, dude, whatever you say," Eren gave a wave as Annie quickly pulled him away. There was a strange feeling going throughout his whole body. That whole encounter lacked the usual name calling and it was all friendly. Something that was usually lacking in their time together. "I guess being nice to him earlier lightened him up a bit."

Annie tugged at Eren's sleeve, "What was that? Since when were you guys all buddy buddy? I thought you hated each other."

Eren held his hands up in defense, "I'm just doing what Armin asked me to do. What's with you?"

Annie's eyes widened slightly, "Sorry, sorry. I don't know, I just got really jealous for a second."

The brunet raised a brow, they haven't even been dating for a week and she was already reacting like this. Of course Eren was positive he was either her second or third boyfriend in a long ass time. It was understandable she would have her guard up. 'Especially if she thinks Levi has a crush on me like Armin does, I would probably get jealous too.'

He smiled softly at Annie and took her hand, "Everything's good. I'm a little confused about the whole thing myself, to be completely honest. I thought we were suppose to hate each other too, but it seems Levi is perfectly content with falling back into our old friendship. I guess Armin was right about one thing."

Annie gave him a curious glance, "What would that be?"

"Levi doesn't hate me as much as I think he does."

A/N: Sooo yes they are getting along. Why are they starting to get along you ask? Well next chapter will explain Levi's willingness a bit more, and it will be another Levi chapter.
