Eren had a bad sleep last night. He had been thinking of Levi and the incident, agitated as he was. The picture of Levi glaring at him was stuck in his mind. Levi looked really exquisite, refined and stylish. But his looks also had something else in there. He looked bored, hateful and vicious. You could see it in his eyes. The way he looked at people. Nevertheless, now Eren was too fatigued to think of him, especially when he had other things to be concerned about. Like the fact that he had apparently slept in! He shot up from the bed faster than a speed bullet and started to get ready for school.

Eren was literally running really late. He usually walked to school but this time he had to fasten his pace quite a bit. He had already missed his first lesson which was literature. He couldn't say that he enjoyed the literature lessons that much, so he was actually relieved. By the time he arrived at school, he'd need to rush to the gym to do PE.

It was a basketball day. After Eren had changed into his dark forest green PE shorts and a white sleeveless top, he rushed into the gym. There was a game going on when he entered but he didn't interrupt anything. Marco Bott, a tall and a kind boy was sitting on the bench close to the entrance and he spotted Eren. "Hi Eren! Where were you this morning?" Marco was in the same home group as him and that's how they knew each other. He had noted that Eren had been absent and now he was curious.

"Hi Bott! To be honest I slept in but don't tell Jean" Eren smirked and looked at Jean who was in the game, skillfully doing his job in the team. He had real talent when it came down to sports. His secret lied in his magnificent sense of teamwork. That's the reason why Jean was always chosen to be the team captain. "Did you miss me?" Eren asked and grinned at Marco. "Jean will not know of that, I promise" Marco snickered. "Hey, you should make the teacher aware of your presence." Eren nodded, and strolled to see Erwin Smith, who was observing the game, leaning to a wall on the opposite side of the gym.

Eren was placed on one of the teams and much to his dismay, he was against Levi. Eren had totally forgot that they were in the same class. Come to think of it, they were actually on many classes together. He decided to avoid him, or at least consider him as a normal player equal to the others. Just another player trying to score points. It worked quite well, until Levi decided to make contact with Eren. Physical contact that is. Eren was just about to run and dunk the ball in the basket, but the last second Levi appeared from left, and tripped Eren by shoving his foot in front of the running Eren's legs.

Eren fell down painfully. He instinctively shot his hands in front of his body before slamming against the wooden floor. He sprained his wrist and got a little burn on his palm. He growled in pain and looked up to Levi with bitter eyes. "Sorry, that was an accident. Didn't intend to", he spoke deadly calm, and sprang away. Reiner grabbed the ball that had fell from Eren's hands and was bouncing on the floor. While Eren was getting up, Reiner ran to the other side of the gym with the ball, attempting to shoot for the goal. Jean, who was defending the basket, got tackled by Reiner and toppled, without falling over. The ball flew in the air and fell through the basket.

"Just what the fuck are you idiots doing!" Eren spoke the words. It was supposed to be a silent whisper to himself, but he ended up yelling it way louder than he was supposed to. He noticed too late. A huge mistake. Both Levi and Reiner glanced at him with murderous eyes. Levi and his friends had such a twisted picture of a fair game. Or then they didn't even intend to play fair but with their own made-up rules.

"Don't whine, you pussy! You are just playing like a girl!" Reiner yelled back at him. Eren was so enraged that he just couldn't leave it like this. "At least I'm not a lunatic prick like you guys!" His team members looked at Eren, amazed. Reiner was furious but smiled smugly. Levi looked as calm as ever, but with the tiniest hint of curiosity seeping out of his eyes. No one ever was courageous enough to stand tall against these people. If Eren's wrist wasn't throbbing painfully and Jean wouldn't have been bruised, he might have kept his mouth shut.

This is when Erwin just had to whistle and come in between to stop the ruckus. "Guys, you need to cut that down right now! Jäger, Braun, Ackerman. You all come have a chat with me." Eren gulped and he could feel the tiniest beads of cold sweat form on his forehead. He exchanged looks with Jean, and then Marco, and they looked both shocked and worried. This was sort of normal for Levi and Reiner and they didn't look out of their character at all. "Jean, you can be the umpire for now, okay?" The tackle he received couldn't have been unseen and he still looked to be in a little pain, so Erwin decided to give him a little brake from running around with the ball. The brunette nodded and quickly walked away from the game, having Marco replace his spot.

The class continued playing, except for the particular students who were led to the changing rooms by Mr. Smith. There they could have the chat with some privacy and peace without attracting too much attention in the class. The changing room was small and square shaped with white walls, the back wall having small windows right below the ceiling. Wooden benches were placed around the room and one wall was covered with lockers. The floor was dark green but it changed into pale brown tiles where there was a door leading to the showers.

The tree students sat down on the bench. Levi and Reiner were close together, shoulders nearly touching, but Eren refused to sit that close to them. He sat at the adjacent wall instead. Erwin was standing in front of them, looking at them being obviously disappointed. "Boys, you should know that this kind of behaviour isn't accepted in any cases. Do you understand? I am really, really disappointed in you." Now he faced Levi "Ackerman. I saw you trip Jäger. Why did you do that?"

Levi rolled his eyes lazily and instead of looking back into Erwin's flaming eyes, he laid his eyes on Eren, his gaze wandering on all over his body from head to toes. "Tch. It wasn't my fault. I was just going to run there for defense but then he got on my way. You can't blame me for a mere accident." Eren looked back at him, speechless from disbelief, furrowing his eyebrows. Seriously, what a guy.

"Jäger, do you have anything to say about this?" The brunette was confused and was at a loss of words. He wasn't too sure whether he should defend himself or surrender to the punks. Defending would be really risky and could lead to some bad consequences later. Surrendering would be so much easier and safer, but how could he just ignore this and let it be? This group had been like this for years. Just for how much longer do people want these punks to carry on, constantly offending people? Something needed to be done in order to stop this. Even if it meant war.

Surrender or defend? Surrender or defend? Eren kept asking himself. The other three present people were waiting for a response from the boy who was struggling to find the right choice. Eventually, Eren made up his mind. Fight back. He took a deep breath, and the exhale the following words with it. "I don't believe it was an accident. It was planned. " Levi's eyes widened a tad with surprise. "What do you mean planned?" asked Erwin. "Isn't it just obvious? Two tackles in less than a minute? They were playing together for their own benefit!"

Reiner looked really enraged and ready to explode. Erwin looked determined and nodded at Eren. "Guys, to be honest, I agree with Eren. To me it really seems like it wasn't just an accident." Reiner's face was easy to read. He wasn't really in the mood to fight with a teacher, so he looked down at his feet instead. Levi was staring at Eren and when Eren realized, he would just uncomfortably look away. Erwin was waiting for some sort of a response, but after seeing that none was to come, he proceeded "I don't want to see this happening again. Okay? Unfair game doesn't result in anything pleasant. This time I'll let you go, but if I ever see this happening again, I won't let you join the class anymore, just for the sake of others." Then he faced Eren "And you, Jäger, learn to control your emotions. Don't do anything provocative." All three nodded, even Reiner although he did wince. "Okay, lets go back" Erwin announced.

Erwin had already turned around and was leaving the room. The remaining people in the changing room stood up from the bench and now, Eren was being glared at, with those two pair of eyes, as cold as ice if not colder. Alone, now that Erwin was out of sight, he felt weak against those eyes. He tried his best not to let the fear show. "You little prick..!" Reiner grunted and aggressively approached Eren. The boy was taken aback when Reiner, with those huge hands, grabbed him by his shirt, lifting him up off the floor. That was when the fear suddenly overtook Eren's facial expression. He saw Reiner raising his other fist, ready to punch.

"Reiner. Don't." The muscular blonde froze and he rotated his head to look behind him. Eren was already preparing himself to receive the massive fist on his cheek, adrenaline rushing through his veins, so it was obvious that those two words surprised him. He looked at the source of the voice, and there was the person, standing, lookind dead serious. What.. What is going on? He was looking at the person as if he was some kind of a divine creature, standing there to protect him. "Not now" Levi continued. Reiner growled but let go of the boy, dropping him on the floor with a thud. Reiner turned around and walked out from the room. mumbling and cursing. Levi's eyes followed him but as soon as Reiner had gone past him, his eyes, once more, returned to Eren.

Eren was on the floor on his knees and lifted his head up to see Levi looking down at him. Their eyes met. The raven hair boy's gaze did scare Eren, but at the same time he was also scared to look away from him. The gaze was petrifying. But it felt somewhat special. Levi always looked really dark and ominous, but this time there was something really peculiar in him. He looked understanding. For seconds, they were just staring at each other without saying anything. When Eren attempted to stutter some words out, Levi turned around and left the room.

Hope you enjoyed! In my opinion this chapter was way better than the first one.
