It was late in the night when Levi had called in his adopted son, and he had no clue what he was in for. Only a few hours ago he was at a party with his peers and now here he was with his father. Observing how the other acted around him, Eren knew that it was a serious matter. The way Levi's eyes glared at him only confirmed it. For a second he considered it was because he didn't return home straight from school, however his father tended to surprise him, so he waited for what he was going to say.
"So why am I here pops?" Eren ask looking at his father's desk to figure out if his answer could be found on the documents on the desk.
"You've been going to a lot more parties lately." The elder man replies getting up from his seat only to stand in front of his desk.
"Well yeah, I'm young what do you expect?It's better than staying and having parties here, you hate cleaning after me and my friends."
"Yes that is very true,but it's time to clean up your stupid act."
"How I haven't done anything wrong?"
"Really, how many fights have I gotten into with other parents about you fooling with their child?"
"Well that's their problem for being so of them were good lays anyways."
"So you want a challenge don't you?"
"Sure I guess, I can get anyone I want. I doubt anyone you have in mind will not fall for me within a week."
"Hmmm, then I think this business deal I'm in may benefit you:Lucky you." Levi replies sarcastically as he reaches for his tablet and gently tosses it to Eren who catches it.
"W-What do you mean?"
"You need to clean up your shitty act, and learn to grown up. Your cocky attitude is why you only have one true friend which is your sister."
"Everyone else doesn't meet my standards."
"Lower them,on the screen there is a picture of the CEO of the Wings of Freedom Co."
"Ew I am not seducing him, he's like 30."
"What's wrong with that I'm around that age."
"That's exactly why, it's like dating you...And you're like my dad."
"That's besides the point. He called me in desperate need of someone to seduce his son. In doing so my company and his will unite once you marry this boy."
"Whoa whoa, marriage. I don't want to be tied down yet dad!"
"Yes, but given the situation it would make sense to unite the companies like this. It's also a good way for you to learn how to grow up and stop being a brat."
"I'm not even out of high school."
"Well then we'll wait until you're out, but you will have to seduce the son so the deal will be sealed."
"What makes this boy so special anyways?He is another rich boy so he must have everything."
"Not exactly;swipe the screen." Levi ordered watching as his son moved his finger across the screen seeing a picture of Erwin standing next to a boy about his age in a mask.
"Who is that freak?Did no one tell him that it isn't Halloween? And why does he look so sad? He isn't even smiling."
"That will be your husband, he is your challenge."
"You're telling me I have to seduce and marry this freak so you can make more money?"
"Yes, why is that too hard for you? Should have known you were all bark no bite."
"What!? No I totally do what I say."
"So are you willing to accept the challenge?"
"Yeah, Imma make a point that I can get whatever person I want. Anyways, do you know anything else about this guy?"
"I know he is heavily depressed, don't know why. He also doesn't have any friends and rejects all dates no matter what, he also hasn't taken off his mask since kindergarten."
"So no one knows that this guy looks like?"
"No shit no one knows what he looks like. It's been years."
"Well then I have a lot of work ahead of me."
"Yes you do, don't screw this up for me."
"I won't."
"Good, now leave so I can call Mr. Smith back ."
"Okay night dad."
"Night."
Leaving his father to his work, Eren walked to his room wondering what would be the first thing he would do. After all, Eren had worked with almost every type of boy and girl there was. But never before was he given the challenge of someone who wore something to hide their face or even make one friend. Laying on his bed, the brunette thought on about the shy people he had broke in and thought perhaps he could work his wonders like he did with them. Texting his father, Eren asked for him to schedule a personal meeting with him and Mr. Smith. A few minutes later the reply came in the simple words of: tomorrow at Starbucks at 12.
Satisfied with this answer, the brunette smirked as he thought of breaking the doll like person who was now his challenge. After all, after this person Eren would be able to prove himself the best player out there. And for a teenager that was a pretty big deal, especially when you're a guy. Chuckling to himself for his future victory, the laughter soon died down as he laid on his bed thinking of something else. He started to wonder when he would stop playing these games and settle down? The thought was one of the most innocent ones the brunette had had in a while, however it was quickly shoved off due to sleep taking over.
The next day, Eren started his usual daily routine. He started out with breakfast and then a date or two before lunch time. When the time came for him to meet Mr. Smith, Eren bid one of many people he has been going out with a farewell kiss before muttering a fruitless 'I love you'. After that he proceeded to the agreed Starbucks where the man from the picture sat patiently. Walking over, Eren gave a friendly smile before taking his seat and offering his hand over for a shake.
"Eren Jaeger." The teen states.
"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Erwin Smith Armin's dad." The elder replies.
"So that's his name."
"Yes, and I've heard from your father you have agreed to our terms."
"Yeah."
"So what is it you want to know about my son."
"Why does he wear that mask?"
"Getting to the point huh?"
"Yup."
"Well, he hates how he looks. I don't know what happened in his early years, all I remember is that he came home hating how he now he always says something to himself in the mirror about not being compared or something rather...I don't know honestly..."
"That sucks."
"Indeed it does, it's sad as a father to hear that."
"Well that's why I'm here to help your son."
"Thank goodness."
"Do you know what he likes?"
"He is in love with mask, learning, and nature specifically the ocean."
"Wow, that's something."
"It is and when you get him started on the ocean he'll never shut up."
"Cool, now what are his pet peeves do you know?"
"He hates, and I quote hates people who are too full of themselves. However he does love nice guys a lot."
"Oh so he prefers guys more."
"Yes actually."
"But I have to say something before you change your whole personality."
"W-Whoa change my personality where did that come from?"
"Eren I know your reputation, and I don't like it. However I'm taking a chance with you and my son. I also discussed this with your father, and we both think you two will change each other for the better."
"Oh well then now I can drop my act around you."
"Yes you can."
"So what is this thing about your son that I have to know before I make myself his ideal type?"
"He is very good at analyzing a person by just looking at them. So please please don't engage in any more sexual intercourse before school."
"I'll try, but why?"
"Since he has no friends he has become very observant."
"Oh, I see. Well I'll try.
"Okay then. Is there anything else?"
"No, nothing. I think I can work with what you've given me thanks."
"You're very welcome. And please take care of my son."
"No prob Bob."
"It's Erwin."
"Right..." Eren waves off the elder as he pulls his phone out of his pocket to continue the rest of his day. Eventually the day came when Armin would come for his first day of school. Just as he promised, Eren got himself ready for the day to start his game. After what felt like thirty minutes, Eren shrugged and figured he had enough time to go get flowers for his new husband. On the way to school, he practiced his voice and how he would greet the other with a soft smile. Once he was in the flower shop, he bought a simple bouquet and walked peacefully to school noticing that it was less populated than usual.
Shrugging it off Eren looked down to his phone to check the time. Seeing that he was now ten minutes late to class, the brunette dashed to the school as best he could. Holding the flowers close to his chest making sure they would not be ruined, the brunette raced towards his class opening the door with force.
"Sorry I'm, I had to pick up something." Eren yells breathlessly.
"Well I hope it was worth it, you interrupted Armin here." The teacher informs as she points towards Armin. Seeing the masked teen, the brunette's brain clicked, and he code switched to his new nice guy personality.
"Wait did you say Armin? As in Armin Arlert?" Eren inquired with an enthusiastic smile, pushing the teacher.
"Y-Yes...H-How do you know my name?" Armin ask.
"Well this is perfect, I'm Eren Jaeger."
"Who?"
"Oh yeah you don't know me yet, sorry I forgot you weren't told a lot. Well anyways, my name is Eren Jaeger."
"O-Okay nice to meet you..."
"Oh wait, now is where I do the thing."
"The thing..."
"Yeah." Eren says as he kneels down on one knee presenting the thing that he was holding in his hands that turned out to be a bouquet. "It's nice to finally meet you, I'm your future husband."
"H-HUSBAND!?" Armin exclaims as gasp echoed throughout the class, and whispers erupted.
