By the time lunch had finally rolled around, Erwin and Eren had really gotten to know each other. It helped that they had a couple classes together and even a 40 minute study hall. Over that time they had really bonded.
"Want to sit with me at lunch?" Eren asked him as the duo walked towards the cafeteria together. With a charming smile, Erwin nodded his head.
"I would love to."
"Great! I usually sit by myself, so company will be nice." Eren told him as they reached the cafeteria. Eren showed Erwin to the table that he normally sat at and set his things down on it. He waited for Erwin to do the same and when he did, he lead him over to the lunch line.
When Levi walked into the cafeteria, his eyes immediately began to search the room for Eren. He found him in line with the new guy and let out a clearly displeased growl. Going over to the table that he knew Eren usually sat at, he put his stuff down on it beside Erens and went to get in line with the two.
He came up behind Eren and kissed his cheek. "Hey, babe. Who's that?" He asked, sending a look of almost disgust towards the other guy. The guy rose an eyebrow at the look while Eren jumped and turned to look at Levi with a small blush sweeping across his face. "L-Levi!" He said as he looked at the male. He looked over to Erwin. "This is Erwin. He's new."
"I figured." Levi remarked. Eren nodded his head and looked around the room. Levi stood beside him and continued his hard glare directed at Erwin. Ewrin shook his head and looked ahead.
The three of them waited in line until it was their turn. When it was, they grabbed their food and went to the table. As they ate, none of them said anything. Eren looked at his food awkwardly as he tried to think of a conversation starter so it wouldn't be so awkward. Unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything.
He let out a sigh and looked at the other two. His eyes landed on Levi who had his own eyes focused right on Erwin. He tilted his head and looked over to Erwin who looked completely oblivious to the staring. Eren looked back at Levi and said, "Levi, are you alright?"
Levi grunted and looked down at his food. "Yeah, fine." He said. Of course, Eren didn't believe him, but what could he do? Sighing, he went back to eating.
-End Of School Day-
Eren walked down the hallway of the school, to the exit. He was glad that the day was finally over because he was just ready for a long nap. As he neared the entrance, he heard his name being shouted. Stopping in confusion, he turned around to see Erwin walking towards him.
"Eren! Glad I caught you! I was wondering if maybe you'd like to hang out? Maybe get a coffee or something?" He asked him. Surprise, Erens eyes widened a little.
"O-Oh, sure!" He said in agreement. Erwin grinned and nodded.
"Cool. Do you know any cafes around here that you wouldn't mind going to?" He asked Eren as they continued to walk. Eren hummed as he thought for a moment.
"I think so. There's a nice little cafe downtown that we can go to." Eren said. Erwin nodded his head.
"Alright, lead the way." He said as the two walking out the school doors.
The cafe wasn't too far from the school, only about a 20 minute walk. When they reached it, Erwin held the door open so Eren could walk in. With slightly pink cheeks, Eren thanked him and walked inside. Erwin saw the small blush and chuckled as he followed the smaller male inside the building.
The place was small and cozy, with a couple of small couches around the room and tables between them. By the counter, in the corner, was a tall table with some chairs surrounding it.
Eren guided Erwin up to the front and looked up at the menu. Erwin stood beside him and looked at the menu. "Pick whatever you want, I'm paying." He said. Eren wasted no time shaking his head no in protest.
"No way, I can pay. It'll be like a welcome to town gift." Eren told him.
"Nah, I want to thank you for helping me with everything. I would have been lost otherwise. Plus, you can think of this like a... a date." Erwin said with a smirk before looking ahead. Erens eyes widened at that.
"Um-!" Before he head time to protest, the people came to take their order. 'This cannot be happening!', Eren thought.
