If there was one thing that Eren disliked about being in his final year of college it was that four days out of the week his classes started before eleven o'clock in the morning. It could have been worse though; Horseface had early morning classes every day of the school week. Eren considered it to be the universe's way of punishing him for being such an ass.
His alarm had been going off for for a while now but he just couldn't find the energy to get up and walk across the room. He had thought it would be a good idea since it would force him out of bed to turn it off, but right now the urge to roll over and hopefully sleep through the obnoxious noise was overwhelming. Unfortunately he wasn't capable of sleeping through the racket that his alarm clock was making so he had to give up and walk over to turn it off. Grumbling about early mornings he grabbed his phone to check his email.
I have a text from an unknown contact? What the heck? Would have my number?
[Unknown:] Eren, it's Hanji! Add me to your contacts and don't get kidnapped on the way to class!
Haha. Very funny. Wait. That means that I have Levi's number as well.
He scrolled through his contacts to see whether he had put himself under "The Hawk" or "Levi" in his contacts list... or neither. Eren went back up to the top of his contacts list and started scrolling down again and tried to figure out what name he might have entered his number under. He ended up finding it with his 'D' contacts.
[Don't fucking call unless you need to]
Fucking fantastic, Levi. Real mature. Like I was going to call you for no reason . Do you really need to be that much of an asshole? I get it, you've made it really fucking clear that you find me just above tolerable but... Argh! He was trying to be nice last night and offered self-defense lessons and just. Ugh. I don'tget him. What's his fuckingdeal or whatever?
He spent a little too much time glaring at his phone before realizing that he was going to be running late if he didn't start getting ready. He practically sprinted to the kitchen to get the coffee machine going before hopping into the shower. Showered and dressed he went back to the kitchen to fill up his travel mug. Before heading out he considered breakfast for a moment and but realized that they didn't have anything he could eat easily while walking and food wasn't allowed in the labs.
One of these days I'll have a real breakfast during the week.
"Dude, you haven't really been around much. What's been up? You totally blew us off last night. We always get together and watch bad action movies on Monday nights."
"Sorry. I've been busy."
"With what? You've been so out of it, even the other night you kept going off somewhere in your head."
"I've just had a lot of shit going on, Connie. Like, hero shit."
"What!? And you haven't told us anything? Man, you've gotta tell me what's going on. Sasha got back a few hours ago and is napping, so I was thinking we should go out to China Buffet to celebrate. Mikasa should come with us too, I mean... I know she's still out on injury but going out for a few hours won't kill her, will it?"
"That's kind of the issue. She would probably love to come out to dinner with us, but I don't know that she's healed enough yet. I'll talk to Armin and if he says that she's good then I'll tell her we're going out to dinner."
"And if she isn't?"
"I'll probably just stay in with her. I'd love to see Sasha, but..."
"She's your sister. Dude, I totally get it. Just don't fall off the face of the Earth, let us know what's up, yeah? We'll go out early so that Ymir and Historia can come with us as well. It's been ages since we've all gone out together."
"Yeah, it really has. Let's do this! I'll bring Mikasa even if Armin isn't thrilled about it. She needs to get out and what the hell could happen at China Buffet that would be bad? Eating too much? Too heavy of a plate? I think she'll be fine."
"Okay, man. I'll text you when I know what time."
"Later!"
Connie jogged off in the direction of his apartment and Eren walked off in the direction of the café just off-campus.
Finally going to get some food. Seriously, I know that it's my last year but do the labs have to be so damn long? I thought I was going to pass out from hunger. This must be how Sasha feels all the time. How does she even eat that much? And how has China Buffet not banned her yet?
He walked out of the shop with a drink and a pastry, heading towards one of the outdoor tables to soak up the sun before his next class. His phone buzzed in his pocket.
[Connie:] sasha just woke up she says food around five?
[Eren:] should work. i get out of class at 4 15. meet at your place?
[Connie:] yep
He continued to fiddle with his phone for a bit longer when he remembered that Levi was still in his phone as "Don't fucking call me unless you need to."
I should change it to something less stupid. Do I change it to "The Hawk"? Probably not since that kinda blows his cover a bit, but it seems weird to put him in my phone as "Levi" since that's his actual name or secret identity or whatever. Or at least I'm pretty sure it is since the rest of the Survey Corps call him that. Fuck, what do I change it to?
Eren glared at the contact name, his eyebrows drawing closer and closer together as he tried to figure out what to change the name to when he was struck by the urge to be just as much of a jerk as Levi had been to him.
I hope he needs to borrow my phone at some point or sees this somehow.
[Contact name changed: Asshole McFuckface]
I amso done with being looked at like some stupid fanboy. If he really wants to be an ass to me then I'm throwing it right the fuck back at him. I'm sick and tired of this bullshit and he is going to stop treating me like a little kid. I'm an adult and I can make my own stupid fucking decisions and I have fucking had it with your passive-aggressive attempts to get me to back off and leave you alone. You know that I like you so do me the fucking courtesy of turning me down rather than just being an ass to me and hoping I'll just disappear.
It'son. You're going to teach me to fight and I'm going to win.
Let the games begin, Levi.
