Chapter 3.

"So…. Please?" Hanji asked as she looked at Eren who was reading some book in the school's library. It had been two weeks since Eren and Hanji had went Levi's house. And Eren had to say it wasn't that bad, meeting Kuchel-san who was caring and loving like how his mother had been, even if it was sad remembering his mother, he was happy to meet someone who have her kindness. Mikasa and Armin on the other hand were funny and friendly in the same time, they both were in junior high both smart especially that sly coconut that hide behind the mask of innocent, Mikasa on the other hand was an overprotective person, who want to be like her older brother even if she act like his rival half of the time, Eren was happy to be called their friend, was it by Levi who was down to earth with his polite attitude (Even if he love to curse half of the time.) or his sister who took a strange liking to him and start following him with Armin, acting like newborn baby ducks, or was it by Kuchel-san who act like his new mother, Eren had to admit his life was good, even if it had a sad start, it was good.

But this! Eren can't take it! this weekend the gang want to meet in Erwin's house, well mansion as the older teen like to brag about. And to make things worst Erwin was Irvin smith's son the most powerful politician in Sina! Eren found it funny how Erwin's father didn't only pass his arrogant nature to his son, but also his name! I mean what the hell? Erwin did mean Irvin in Italian. Which had made Eren cackle madly at first, he hope that the eyebrows thing wasn't genetic like the all the other things about Erwin smith. So long story short. Eren refuse to go with the gang to Erwin's house, Levi was different and his house was warm and inviting, even his family was warm and kind, but the smiths family… Eren really doubt it.

"For the last time Hanji. NO!" Eren said shooting Hanji his best glare making the mad woman sighs and pout looking at her book once more, they have a free period cause their physics teacher didn't make it today for some reason, and as always Eren like to spend his time in the library, and Hanji being the crazy stalker that she was decided to follow him to try and sway him into going with her to Erwin's house. "I'm going to the restroom." Eren mutter making Hanji nod her head without taking her eyes off of whatever she was reading.

Eren stood up then heading to the restroom not even caring about some of the girls who start talking about how cute and tiny he was! Which Eren had to scuff at. When Eren finished his business in the restroom he frown as he heard some communication going on outside. Eren follow the sound and froze as he saw Levi kneeling on the floor holding his stomach while glaring at some seniors that were laughing at him.

"Why the long face, Shorty?" one of the five who were there, smirk at Levi who growl at them and tried to stand only to be pushed down by a blond idiot, Eren was sure that they were all in football team.

"OH, LOOK! He is crying!" a brunt said with a laugh making the rest follow. "Are you going to run to your daddy? Telling him how the big bad people hurt you?" Levi didn't do anything but trying to stand up once again and raise his fists, ready to defend himself if needed. That made the bullies scuff and head near Levi, intended to teach that spoiled brat a lesson.

Before he was able to reach Levi he squeaked as he felt something hit the back of his head, that made everyone look at him and when the bully turn around to see who hit him, he shout as something hit him in the middle of his face. when Levi looked behind the bully he saw Eren standing there…. Barefoot. That made Levi blink and look at the bully who was holding Eren's shoe in his hand looking at it dumbfounded, Levi didn't know if he should laugh at that or curse Eren for throwing them into a huge mess, but before he was able to tell Eren to hightail it and run, the little shit had to open his mouth and speak.

"Go bully someone your size, you piece of shit." Eren said as he glare at the bullies making them look at Eren and then laugh at his height, that only made Eren twitch and look at them darkly, he will kick their asses and he will enjoy it! before anyone of them could react, Eren run at a high speed shocking everyone at that speed, but what had shocked more was the poor fucker who got kneed between his legs. And when he fell down Eren just give him a terrifying smile that made his shiver. "It seems like bullies never learn their lesson, do they?" With that he punched him in the nose breaking it in the process.

"YOU FUCKER!" yelled the blond one as he run to punch Eren, only for Eren to move fast to block it by pointing his fist at his ear and pointing his elbow to the side. Swing his upper arm across the front of his chest. Eren smirk as he saw the blond wince as he pull his hand back from the punch but Eren was fast and he Roundhouse Kick the blond hard, making him lose his conscious.

Eren looked at the brunt who held his shoe in his hand and raise his brow at that making the brunt grit his teeth in rage and run at Eren with the shoe only for Eren to sidekick him then, making him grunt and hold his side, Eren took this and kick him in the head making him fall on the floor. Eren then growled as he saw that the two who were standing were trying to attach him in the same time, but Eren use his small status to move fast and avoid being grip, he punch one of them in the throat making him fall on the floor and gasp like a fish, coughing while trying to gain his breath back.

Eren then look at the only standing bully with a smile, making the taller man back away from Eren and gulp fearfully at the sight of the short devil that was walking to him. "Now, I want you to listen and listen well." Eren said glaring at the older man making him nod his head fast. "You won't tell anyone what had happened here, and you will stop harassing my friend. And if I hear that you had broke this simple rules…. Well let's just say that no one will find your body." Eren said with terrifying smile, all they while he was glaring into the bully's eyes. at the gulp and nod of that bully he hummed and took his shoes and wore them, he then head to Levi who was still standing shell shock looking at the bullies that were three time his size lying on the ground in pain.

"H-how did you….?" Levi mutter but wince as Eren poke his stomach. At that Eren look up at him and hum while narrowing his eyes.

"Doesn't matter, let's take you to the nurse office." Eren said as he dragged Levi to the nurse office. When they reach the office, Eren frown when he didn't see anyone in there. That made Eren sighs and drag Levi who was groaning in pain to one of the beds and sit him down on it. "Wait here, I will try and find painkillers." Eren said as he turn around and start searching in the nurse office for the painkillers, he brought it and some water to Levi who was lying on the bed. "Here" He mutter making Levi open his eyes and took the medicine with a soft 'Thank you', Eren hum at that and look at Levi with furrow brows. "So.. are you going to tell me, why they were after your ass?" Eren says as he stretch, making Levi look at the shorter man with a snort.

"The same as always." Levi mutter as he lay down once again, when he saw Eren raise his brow he sighs at that and look at the ceiling only to frown at how dirty it was, maybe he could ask the nurse to clean it? "It's because I am an Ackerman." Levi said softly making Eren frown at the pain he saw before Levi was able to hide it.

"So?" Eren ask making Levi look at him like he was an idiot. "I am a Zoë, but you don't see me run and act like a crazy doctor." Eren said making Levi raise an eyebrow at that, that made Eren roll his eyes at how much of an idiot was Levi. "When I first met you, you were Levi. And now after months, you are still that Levi who like to use the word 'shit' a lot… having a questionable kind of humor but Levi and not an Ackerman to me." Eren said as he look at Levi. Levi on the other hand give Eren a real smile making Eren blink at the beauty of it, Eren just blink again and hummed.

That was the day that Eren gain his best friend.

EXL

"Eren, I told you I can go home alone just fine! I don't need a fucking babysitter!" Levi grunt as Eren continue to follow him to his home, making Eren snort at him even more.

"Yeah, yeah keep telling yourself that." Eren muttered as he continue to Levi's house making the older teen curse at him. "And besides, it's the only way for me to be able to ditch Hanji. I don't want to head to Erwin's house and the only way to do that is by following you." Eren explain, making Levi raise his brows at that but shrug, either ways his mother will be happy to see Eren again.

"Do as you like, just don't let mom be over excited… again." Levi said, making Eren snort and nod his head at that, he personally know what it mean when Kuchel-san become over excited about something, sometimes Eren felt like he was dealing with five years old instead of thirty-something. When the two of them reached Levi's house, Eren sighs in relief at that. though he furrow his brows as he heard the loud yelling from the inside. "Not again!" Eren blink at Levi's whine as he reached his house and opened the door. At that moment Eren knew… he should have run when he had the chance.

"EREN!"

That was not one, but three voices yelling out at once, making Eren cower behind Levi in fear. But soon even Levi was pushed away and Eren was dragged into the hug of dome! From Kuchel-san, Mikasa, and Armin. Who start complaining that they had missed him and Eren was mean for not visiting them sooner.

"OI, Mikasa! Who is he?" Eren heard someone asking and he turn to see some freckled girl point at him, strangely she was hugging a blond girl that look like Armin a little bit. Though he had to raise his brow at how the freckled girl hissed at a tall blond boy who tried to touch the blond girl.

Mikasa and Armin turn to the gang that was behind them with pride puffing their chest at that, and it was Mikasa who start talking. "Everyone! This is Eren Zoë and he is-"

"My best friend." Levi said as he pull Eren away from the trio who wanted to kill him. that made Kuchel look at Levi for a long minute then grin madly at that making Eren and Levi back away a little. Though Kuchel did leave after looking at Eren and Levi for a little while longer.

"WHAT? YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" that was Armin who whined at Levi for being a mean person. Making Levi raise his brow at that.

"My house, my rules, coconut. Besides Eren is in all of my classes and is my friend, so yes I can do that." Levi said making Mikasa growl at him.

Eren sighs at that and look up, wishing to know why the God hate him so much? But that was for another time, now he had to solve the problem of who is whose best friend. "Levi is right, Mikasa." Eren said making Mikasa look at Eren with teary eyes, making Eren roll his eyes at that. "And besides you are also my friend, and Armin too." That made Mikasa and Armin pout at that but nod their heads anyway.

"Guys! We are still waiting!" Eren scowl at the horse looking kid that was glaring at Eren who was being hugged by Mikasa.

That made Mikasa roll her eyes at him and smile at Eren. "Those are our friends, Eren. this is Jean, Marco, Reiner, Berthold, Annie, Sasha, Connie, Krista, and Ymir. They are in junior high with us, so I was thinking that they could be your friends too!" Mikasa said. Making Eren look at Levi for help only to see Levi smirking at his misfortune, Eren glare at Levi hatefully for acting like this and once again turn to Mikasa.

"That is great, Mikasa. But me and Levi have some studies to do." Eren said making Armin and Mikasa frown at that and whine, clinching to Eren's shirt not letting go of him.

"But it is Friday!" Armin huffed as he tried to pull Eren away from Levi and to their friends, only for Eren to pull his hand away.

"Next time, Armin. Now be good and go play in the backyard." Levi said as he pulled Eren to his room, not caring about Mikasa's and Armin's whining and yelling at him for being a mean person. As for Eren, he just shook his head with a small smile on his lips.

Maybe having a best friend wasn't that bad.
