A/N:

Thanks for sticking around this long. I'm sorry for the late updates; I've been really busy lately. OTL The chapter was going to be longer but I decided to break it into two chapter so I could go ahead and upload. Also, 'mI doing something a little different with this fic. I'm going to include "hidden chapters/scenes". Those will be things like Armin/Jean (and other couples) stuff and smut scenes. The first to be uploaded will be the "shower scene". It's from chapter one. At the time I was really wanting to write a masturbation scene, but I was in a place where I couldn't. I've been writing that recently instead of making a longer chapter seven.

Hanji and Eren stared after Levi as he walked away. His back was stiff, and it looked to Eren as though his presence had made the older man physically sick. While he had stopped his advances after Levi had rejected him, his feelings had remained the same, and it hurt him. He had to choke back the sob that was currently trying to escape his throat before addressing the woman next to him. Hanji cocked her head to the side after Levi rounded the corner, her face contorting in confusion. Eren bit his lip when she started talking to herself under her breath.

"Eren? Hmmm…Where have I heard that name before?" Her eyes widened when she place the name, and she laughed loudly, turning to the brunette, "So you're Eren." She hummed and her eyes glazed over, "This could be interesting."

"Uh…Have we met before?" Eren felt exposed. Her gaze was calculating, and he felt himself shiver under her scrutiny fully aware he was half naked and on the verge of tears.

She shook her head, "Ah, where are my manners? I'm Hanji and that grumpy, grumpy man is Levi-but I guess you two already know each other. We came over to invite the new neighbors to a little get together. He lives right there," she waved at the door across from them and rolled her eyes.

Eren grimaced and stepped back, starting to close the door, "I'm not sure coming over would be the best idea. Sorry. It was nice meeting you though."

Not taking 'No' for an answer, Hanji dodged through the crack in the door and into his apartment, "Nonsense. He'll be thrilled to have you. I'm sure of it! Go get dressed. We can wait for him in his apartment."

Eren, ready to kick her out by force, stopped in his tracks. While he was sure Hanji was crazy, the invitation was appealing to say the least, and he groaned, closing his eyes. He really wanted to say yes, but with the way Levi had acted earlier, Eren knew it wasn't a good idea. On the other hand, this was probably his one and only chance to learn more about the older man.

Eren flinched when he finally answered, "I'll only be a minute."

He made his way to his bedroom and looked for something to wear. After rummaging through his box of clothes, he found a clean t-shirt and his favorite pair of jeans and dressed as fast as he could. When he finished, he stood in front of the mirror, closed his eyes and placed his forehead on the cool glass. What had he gotten himself into? Levi was going to kill him when he found out.

"Fuck."

Levi's apartment was simple in design. The furniture was sleek and modern, all white and grey linen, iron and glass. Plants were placed carefully throughout the rooms; purples and blues were present in the paintings on the walls and the pillows on the couch and chairs.

The kitchen and dining room were raised with dark marble countertops. Appliances were either silver and black or a combination of the two. It was spotless save the grocery bags thrown haphazardly on the island in the kitchen. A bar area was set up; glasses hung neatly from the upper cabinet.

When Eren stepped through the door, the smell of oranges and sage caused him to breathe in deep and sigh. The scent was familiar and welcome, and Eren immediately was glad he'd taken Hanji up on the offer to come over.

Hanji, who was obviously comfortable in Lev's apartment, made herself at home on the couch. The tv was already on-Criminal Minds, Eren noticed- and she patted the seat next to her, "Come and sit. I don't bite." She laughed at her own joke as Eren cautiously moved towards the living room.

"Levi's making stew for dinner. It's my favorite," Hanji smiled at Eren and muted the tv, "You can relax. He won't be back for a while. I thought I'd get to know you, though. We'll be seeing a lot of each other now."

Eren felt his unease melt away. Hanji seemed to know what she was talking about, and he wondered how the two adults knew each other. He cringed, thinking the worst.

"We've been friends for a while now, I guess," Hanji was amused by the horror on Eren's face once he realized he'd been thinking out loud, "and we work together, " Eren opened his mouth to speak, but was quickly cut off, "Before you ask, yes, I'm a teacher too. I teach the AP science courses and anatomy."

Now that he thought about it, Hanji did seem familiar, "You're Miss Zoe! My roommate Armin had you last year!" Eren had heard quite a bit about the woman from his friend. Actually, she was known throughout the school for her eccentric teaching methods. He'll never forget the day Armin came home traumatized after her anatomy class. Apparently she had brought a body or something for them to dissect, and it had moved while they were cutting it open.

The memory of Armin's face as he'd told him the story made Eren laugh, and Hanji beamed, "I guess that means he enjoyed the class?"

They both sat quietly after the small exchange and watched tv until Hanji decided she'd had enough of the silence. She didn't bother turning it off, only muted it again, and jumped right into the reason she'd brought him over. Eren, who'd let his guard down, froze when the older woman reached over to touch his shoulder.

"Eren? " her voice softened, almost to a whisper, as their eyes met, and she turned her head to the side, a smile playing at the edges of her lips, "Do you still love Levi?"

A/N:

Um, if you have any questions, just ask. Any ideas would be nice too. I feel like this is going by waaaay too fast but I'm having a hard time coming up with filler material by myself. :D Oh, and I'll upload the smut soon. You can look under #snk unexpected meeting on tumblr for updates!
