When Hanji had finally decided to go home it was 10pm and he had spent most of his hours off school entertaining his two friends, it wasn't that he didn't want them around but they overwhelmed everyone in the house even Mikasa and Armin.

If only poor sweet Eren had been warned before hand that they had a lunatic in the house Levi thought as he made his way to his room letting out a large sigh.

Erwin was a lot more silent then Hanji who was literally a bubbling tornado of utter insanity. He just wanted her to shut up once in a while and think before she spouted whatever random crap made its way into her little mind.

Erwin was calculating and crafty but he could swear that one word from Armin honestly turned him into jelly that had eyes and ears only for him. Levi got changed out of his casual attire and began changing into his pyjamas.

The poor raven was having an especially long day.

He honestly never expected that the brunet would make friends with Armin and Mikasa so quickly.

He knew for a fact that the little blonde mushroom that was Armin was actually for the most part a very social creature however most of his pals were n the pages of books.

The boy loved to meet new people and always had a joyous look on his face when said new people accepted him. The blonde had it hard in life, that much he knew.

Armin's parents died in a car crash a few years after they had moved next door to him and Mikasa and by then the to were the best of friends. At first we were trying to adopt Armin into our own family knowing that he barely had anyone but his grandfather left and the old man would probably want Ar to move all the way to England to live with him.

It was hard at first, but soon we convinced his grandfather to move into the house that Armin's parents had lived in. Times were tough for him and his grandfather Harry was now starting to grow incredibly weak, so the Ackerman's were currently looking after Armin.

It was unfortunate that Harry was sick because the man was really nice to everyone however once he did finally pass away Levi knew that his family already had plans in place to adopt the little cutie before he could be left alone, they would never allow Armin to be left alone again, he was family to Mikasa and himself.

Levi wished that the boy knew that and would never question their loyalty to him which to this day was unwavering.

Mikasa was the total opposite, although she was practically a genius the girl was so nonchalant that she didn't like opening up to others and therefore avoided making new friends however for Armin she would do anything and talk to anyone.

The girl would beat up the entire football team if she saw so much as a bruise on Armin.

Honestly the girl was ultimately devoted to the people she loved and it seemed that himself, Armin and most likely Eren were all in that club. Eren seemed much nicer than he originally thought, the boy in the front of the classroom was beautiful but not arrogant.

Sweet but not sickeningly so and his eyes...

Levi was absolutely sure that those eyes were magical and that Eren was secretly a wizard or something because they seemed to draw the boy in so completely that Levi had a hard time prying his own away.

One thing that had caught him off guard was that the boy was mute. He had never encountered someone who had to speak using cute little sticky notes before but then again he loved that the boy had them.

Levi was totally captivated by the boys appearance and his personality was utterly charming as well.

When talking to Eren he was wondering about the boys living arrangements, he never spoke about any sort of family and Eren never mentioned his past to Levi even when they were telling him stories of when Armin used to throw books at Erwin and force him to read with him in the library.

Of course that wasn't the only thing that had really caught Levi off guard with Eren. Honestly at first he was going to kill Hanji for giving Eren his phone number without permission, he loved getting little hand written messages from Eren (which he may or may not have kept and now are sitting on his dresser like trophies)...

Then of course the unthinkable happened, Eren had sent him the cutest message of all time.

Levi at fist had the boy saved as 'beautiful' but then figured that if Mikasa used his phone for anything then she would have an amazing amount of leverage over him in future arguments, to avoid any unnecessary mishaps Levi changed it to 'bright eyes'.

The message was clear and sweet but somehow Levi's heart just wouldn't shut the fuck up when he received it.

From Bright eyes: "You have beautiful eyes, Levi. Please be my friend".

Levi had no idea how to reply to that, he was shaking with the amount of adorableness that was entered into one quick message.

Levi wanted to throw his phone out the window to calm his beating heart while at the same time wanted to old it so tightly into his chest that the phone would be crushed from Levi's cuddling.

Eren had such a terrifying effect on him and he wanted to never see him again, but then he also wanted to cling to his arm and refuse to let go.

What was going on?

He couldn't really be in love with the boy he had just met right?

His questions were left unanswered as his mind struggled to comprehend the intentions of his own heart. It was like his bod was no longer working as a team but had split up to react to different things. His heart screamed Eren while his head tried to forget the name.

The raven closed his eyes but all he saw was a pair of breathtaking multi-coloured eyes staring at him through stands of fluffy chocolate hair.

Tears started to form around the ravens eyes but he couldn't imagine why. Levi had never been a very emotional person but somehow Eren effected him in ways he didn't understand like they were made for one another.

Like they were meant to meet or maybe even re-meet.

Maybe they had met in another life, Levi thought while tucking his covers around him.

Though many would think that Levi was slightly crazy, he truly believed that the dreams he had were just that.

His past.

The raven painted his past on a canvas for all too see as he thought that the lives lost (the ones that would also have been reborn) could be remembered in a way that was impossible by then, maybe one or two would even remember their own lives through the images although he somehow hoped that they wouldn't, he knew that that would be painful.

Maybe just maybe, Eren was that person in his memory.

The one he could never see but sometimes heard. A rough voice that reminded him of love and kindness. A voice that would calm him when he lost control of his temper and would continue to let him know that everything would be alright.

Was that honey like voice Eren?

Levi thought that if it was true then fate had played a cruel trick on them since he couldn't hear what Eren sounded like, he didn't know whether his assumptions were correct however Levi intended on letting his heart choose the new path that he would take.

To Bright eyes: "Hello, Eren. Actually I think that you have the most beautiful eyes that I've ever seen".

Levi sent the message apprehensively he stared at the screen desperately anticipating the reply. He was mortified by his own words but then again he couldn't suppress his overwhelming desire to tell Eren that.

To let him know how beautiful those glowing orbs really were.

Levi was certain that he couldn't live another moment without letting the brunet know his true feelings.

From Bright eyes: "Good evening Levi. Im sorry about that I couldn't resist not telling you".

Levi was taken aback for a moment once he got the message.

He never knew someone who could reply so quickly but then again, he guessed that Eren had no choice to keep his phone constantly next to him since he may need to communicate using it at some point.

Levi liked the fact that Eren didn't use text speak, it made even his texts look polite and beautiful and they really said everything that Eren could.

He loved speaking to Eren no matter how they would do it.

To Bright eyes: "That's alright. So you really think that?"

Once again the reply was almost instantaneous and made the raven nearly jump because he was so on edge.

From Bright eyes: "Of course, they are like looking into stormy sea's. The grey is illuminous and the mixture of blue is like lightning, its dazzling".

The raven was positive that he looked like a tomato in that moment.

The boy was so open with his feelings and everything that he said was so intelligent and poetic.

Who is this wonderful creature and why is he only now in my life?

Levi was stunned by the kind-hearted and genuine reply.

His heart was no longer beating, it had officially stopped.

He gasped for air as soon as he realised that breathing was now painful.

To Bright eyes: "Wow, that's a beautiful description..."
Levi didn't know what else to write, all of his words were jammed in the back of his throat and would no longer be allowed out. Even his thoughts were not working so his thumbs could barely move in order to type that message.

Honestly the brat would kill him before the day was up and that would be pathetic since he had only just met the eyes-catching young man.

From Bright eyes: "Levi, I know this is weird but if I phone you will you just speak to me until I fall asleep? I want to hear your voice".

Once again a breathless raven was staring at his phone screen looking like he had been turned to stone by medusa or some mythical creature that had the power to freeze someone in place meaning that they can never again move from that spot. Levi nodded his head at the phone while knowing that Eren couldn't actually see his reaction to the brunet's request.

His finger circled the phone button before actually pressing it, he was petrified.

Levi didn't know what to expect when he rang him but when the call was answered he was met with an eerie silence that was desperate to be filled with some soft of actual noise. He was wondering how Eren managed to stay sane in a place with so little surrounding noises.

"Hello Eren. I really don't know what to say. Could you message me what you would like me to speak about" Levi spoke softly while trying not to let his obvious smile show through the tone in his shaky voice.

From Bright eyes: "This is silly but can you sing".

"If you would like but I must warn you that im not a very good singer" Levi whispered, he didn't want to be too loud unless Mikasa or Armin heard him singing to himself and recorded him (which they had tried to do before).

Levi made his way over to the grand piano that he kept in his room, he placed the phone carefully on the piano and began to play.

It was a song that his mother taught him, she said it was called 'The reluctant heroes' and that it was Levi's theme because she wrote the melody to it.

He had added lyrics a little while later.

"It was like a nightmare
It's painful for me
Because nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day of grief
Now it's strange for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice

Remember the day we met
It's painful for me
Because nobody wants to die too fast
Remember a day we dreamt
It's painful for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice

Song for the reluctant heroes
Oh Give me your strength
Our life is so short
Song for the reluctant heroes
I wanna be brave like you".

Levi closed the call when he realised that the boy was most likely asleep.

He never got a reply after that, but Levi smiled because he was grateful for the opportunity to sing to the boy that he liked.

Somehow Levi hoped that Eren would want him to play for him again.

The raven closed the lid of the piano and made his way back to bed, he never realised that the smile that he wore upon his face that night would cease to fade until morning as he would dream once again of the strange world of his past with a honey-like voice willing away his fears.
