Levi raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?"

Eren shook his head yes.

He opened the door more and moved to the side to allow him in and he motioned for Eren to take a seat on the couch. Eren did as instructed and sat down on the piece of furniture, more than a little awkwardly. Levi didn't seem to notice and asked, "Would you like a drink? I have water, soda, coffee...?"

"Nah I'm fine."

"Whatever," Levi walked over to the chair that was across from the couch and took a seat. "So what was so important that you had to come to my apartment at seven in the morning?" He smirked and leaned back in his cahir, seemingly completely comforable about the situation. This set Eren even more on edge. Levi cocked his brow at Eren.

"Oh, uhm..my roomate and I, we aren't on the best standing and I need to place to move to. Soon. Your ad seemed perfect to me." Eren scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably, "I guess I forgot that it was pretty early..."

Levi smiled at him, a michevious smile that unsettled Eren, "Hmm a dispute between you and your roommate. Sounds interesting."

Eren frowned slightly, "Not really...it's pretty typical. He has some really strange habits that I couldn't get past so I just snapped and had to leave."

"What type of habits?" Levi questioned, quickly after Eren had finished speaking.

Once again Eren was taken aback, almost like that was what Levi was going for, "Oh uh his eating habits...how early he woke up. He was pretty rude too."

"I can be rude." Levi interjected again.

Eren wasn't quite sure how to respond to that, so he just sat there awkwardly. Thankfully, Levi continued, "You're in my acting class."

Eren nodded again, not completely sure how to speak to the black haired boy across from him. His whole demeanor was unnerving yet Eren couldn't help but want to be around him and accepted by him.

Levi sighed and slouched slightly, "You're allowed to talk. I'm not going to bite you."

Eren gulped, "Yes, I am in your class"

"You're pretty good. You did that monologue from Othello the other day. Iago's verse from act 1 scene 45," Levi looked up at Eren, his intence gaze locking with his,"You have promise."

Levi stood up from his seat and stuck his hands in his jean pockets, he looked out the window as he spoke to Eren, "I will make you a deal. I will let you live here if you change from an undecided major to a theatre major." Then Levi's eyes swerved back to where Eren was sitting on the couch.

Eren knit his eyebrows together and looked down at the floor for a moment, thinking, considering the idea, then looked back up at Levi, "Deal."

Levi smirked again, "Very good choice. I will help you, train you even. You will learn monologues of my choosing and preform them when I please it. Now would you like to get your stuff now or later?"

Eren looked puzzled once again, trying to digest everything that Levi had just told him, "I-I guess now. I don't have class today."

"Neither do I. Now let's get going so we can move all your stuff in by tonight. I like to have dinner prompty at 6:00 so we must be done in time to cook." Levi turned on his heal and opened the door, he turned around to where Eren was still sitting on the couch, looking flustered, "Well are we going or not?"


The subway ride did nothing to diffuse Eren's awkwardness. If anything, it made it worse. Especially to see Levi sitting next to him on the subway seat, seemingly unphased by the whole situation. He had a new roommate, a new major, a new home. Yet Eren couldn't shake the feeling that this was a very bad idea. People talked about Levi in class. About how is pretentious he is, how he takes class and his own acting far too serious, and how he is eternally the douchebag of the theatre department. It's strange to think that as it's only Levi's second year at university, and he's already made this campus wide reputation. Everyone knows him, and Levi seemes to know everyone or everyone who was worth knowing.

Sure, Levi did seem strange, unsettling, manical even, but for some reason Eren didn't feel so weird about moving in with him. Although Levi gave him a very unnerving feeling, he couldn't help but agree when he offered him the deal. Looking back on it, Eren wasn't absolutely sure why he even agreed to it. For heaven's sake he just decided his major through a deal. Granted, it's a pretty good deal, considering it fixed Eren's living situation. From what he saw it was a fairly nice apartment, with a good view of the city. Eren shook these thoughts out of his head as he noticed that they were nearing their stop. He took another glance at Levi, only to see that he was looking straight back at him. His gaze didn't waver although he was caught staring at Eren, he just continued looking at him as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Eren looked away, he could still feel Levi's gaze on him but he tried his hardest to ignore it. It seemed he wouldn't have to ignore it long because the subway came to stop. Eren sighed with relief and stood up, followed closely by Levi.

They exited the subway station and walked out onto the street, heading toward the side of campus that Eren's dorm was on. Thankfully, by now Jean will have gone to class and he wouldn't have to deal with him.

They walked the whole way there in complete and utter silence. It was strange for Eren to not talk for long periods of time, it felt unnatural. So of course he had to diffuse the tension he was feeling by making small talk.

"So uh what made you want to do theatre?" Eren broke the silence awkwardly, he almost wished that he had just kept his mouth shut and left the silence the way it was.

Levi didn't seem too upset to talk, "When I was in high school I got every lead in the school plays. I was good at what I did and I got a scholarship. So I took it and now I'm here."

Eren wasn't sure what answer he was expecting but it sure as hell wasn't that. He almost expected him to come out and say how much he adored theatre and had wanted to become an actor for his whole life. He expected something deep, the answer he was given was so not deep. So he uttered a simple, "Oh."

Then Levi sighed and said, "Yeah that's the type of responce I usually get."

Eren and Levi were now standing in front of the door to his dorm room. Or well I guess you could say his old dorm room. It didn't really feel much like home now, then again it never did with Jean around so it wasn't so different. He unlocked the door and they walked inside.

Eren spoke up again, "I never really unpacked much, just my clothes and a few things for my desk. Everything else is still boxed up so we don't need to do much packing."

Levi scoffed, "Well I'm not doing any packing. I'm only here for entertainment, I had nothing better to do with my day. But I can tell you, I'm sure as hell not going to be lugging boxes up and down stairs all day."

"You're not going to help at all?" Eren couldn't say he was completely surprised, but this? This was low.

The smaller man shrugged, "I'll hold the doors open?"


When Eren, and not so much Levi, had finished bringing all the boxes to the apartment it was late. Or late considering they started at 8:30 in the morning. It was almost 4:30 now and Eren was exhausted. Thank god there was no furniture to move. Eren had been living in an already furnished dorm room and Levi had all the furniture that Eren would need already in the bedroom. When Eren had finished putting away the last piece of clothing in his new bedroom. Levi got up from the bed where he was lounging as he watched Eren slave away, and said, "Go take a shower, you smell awful. When you are done, meet me in the kitchen."

Eren gaped at Levi as he watched him leave his room. Was he like this with everyone or did he treat Eren this way because he knew he could. Either way Eren didn't question it. He couldn't he was set now, he had a nice place to live and someone feeding him every night. To be completely honest with himself, Levi was right, he did smell, and a shower sounded wonderful after his day of work, so he set off to the bathroom to take his shower.

Once he was done in the shower he draped a towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom to his bedroom to throw on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. The shirt clung to his damp skin and the sweatpant hung low on his waist. At this point he didn't care how he looked, Eren just wanted to get dinner and then sit around for the rest of the night and that is exactly what he intended to do, so he made his way to the kitchen to find Levi chopping some vegetables.

Without looking up at him Levi said, "Make yourself useful and get the carrots out of the fridge."

Eren sighed and walked over to the fridge. He opened it to find it was fairly full, much to his liking. Bending down slightly, he began to look through the different bags and containers to find the carrots. Eren cleared his throat and said, "Where exactly are the carrots?"

Levi sighed and walked over to where Eren was and bent over him to reach into the fridge and pull out a bag of carrots. Eren blushed at the brief contact with Levi. He wasnt sure why he was blushing. It felt too intimate to have Levi's stomach pushed against his back as he reached into the fridge. Eren was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that he was just sitting there, blushing, as he stared blankly into the fridge.

Levi groaned, "What are you a teenage girl? Get over here and help me make dinner."

Eren walked over bashfully and began to stir the soup on the stove. He wasn't sure what it was about that stupid short theatre major that made him act so strangely. All Eren knew was that it was only the first of many days they would spend together and he was completely out of his element.
