"I don't want you to be around with Corporal Levi alone," Mikasa told him. Eren arched his eyebrows. He hated it when Mikasa told him what to do, treating him like a little brother that needed protecting, but what did he need protecting from?
"Why?" Eren asked. The lights in the room flickered. Outside someone was yelling. Eren felt the urge to leave the closet and go find Levi.
Mikasa caught his gaze at the door. "Eren, look at me," she said, bringing her hands to Eren's face, cupping his cheeks together. Eren's eyes widened.
"I don't know what Levi wants from you but I've been suspicious since last night when he hugged you after dinner," Mikasa said.
Eren pulled away. "He did not hug me," he said. "He simply fell on me, drunk."
Mikasa crossed her arms and shook her head once. "I don't know, Eren," she said softly. "Don't you think he's been acting strange lately?" Eren saw Mikasa clench her fist tight by her sides. Eren knew she never quite saw eye to eye with the corporal but this was a bit ridiculous.
"Mikasa, stop being worried about me," Eren said. He looked at her. "Besides, don't you have cleaning to do?"
With that, Eren walked away, feeling a bit annoyed. Walking quickly, Eren quickly found his friends.
"Eren," Sasha called out, mouth full of food. She waved. Behind her were Jean and Connie.
"What's up Eren?" Connie said with a grin. He was holding a corn cob.
"Where did you get those?" Eren asked. Sasha wiped her mouth.
"It's almost lunch time you know, but we were hungry so we got some food early." She chuckled happily and ripped off some bread. Then she looked at Eren. "Are you upset about something?" she asked.
Eren took a step back in surprise as his friends all looked at his face. Sasha's intuition was too good sometimes.
"I'm alright," Eren replied, not sure if it was a lie or not. He looked past his friends, looking around at the Recon Corps.
"Are you looking for someone?" Jean said.
"Uh…" Eren said slowly, spotting Levi and beginning a slow walk towards him. He passed by his friends without another word.
"What's up with him?" he heard one of them say behind him.
Eren walked up to Levi who just finished fixing the window with a flourish. Then Levi turned around.
"It's you," Levi said, eyes narrowed. His cleaning mood gone, he began walking, a bucket in hand. "What do you need?"
Eren paused. "Nothing," he said after a second. Levi was acting weird, somewhat. "I won't bother you sorry." Eren began walking away.
Then like he was in an anime or something, he felt Levi grip his dangling wrist. Eren was spun around and began falling towards Levi. Then in slow motion Levi dropped his bucket, held Eren's shoulders,
Then began beating him up.
A/N: ERENNN WHY WOULD I DO THIS TO YOU? BAHAHAHHA.
