(I don't own Attack on Titan. ouo)
Eren stretched out, and as he did, his eyes drifted over to Levi, who was currently setting up his block. He took the same actions as he did previously, before standing up and stretching as well.
Levi had looked over at Eren, and they made sudden, unexpected to either eye-contact. Eren simply smiled at the other, who turned his attention back to the block as he stared down at it.
"On your marks.."
Eren was gonna do his best, he was going to...
"Get set..."
No, wait...
One thought came across Eren's mind right as the gun went off.
I just want to run!
And Eren took off.
He loved the feeling of the wind against his face as his muscles pumped to push him farther and farther ahead, green eyes widening with relief and exhaustion at the same time, yet his speed only picked up.
And his heart seemed to fall a little when he saw Levi pass him, but it wasn't as fast as it had happened before.
Eren's training had paid off well, and that was good enough for him, as he gave a big smile and gave it his all nonetheless.
He finished right behind Levi, panting for air, before once again making a beeline over to the other.
Levi, who was taking the same action as Eren in intake of air, noticed the other walking toward him out of the corner of his eye. Levi was expecting something different from Eren's reaction after being beat twice in a row, such as yelling, or sadness.
But the brightness in Eren's eyes told Levi that he needed to work on his trust issues, for Eren looked satisfied for not falling behind too easily.
No words were spoken until Eren held out a hand toward Levi, who took it. "Good job, Levi!" He exclaimed, looking happier than he did before.
Levi almost blushed. Almost. The thought was sickening to Levi, for he never blushed. Not in a million years.
The two then spent time sitting in the shade, drinking water, catching their breath, and Eren being focused on how well Levi did.
"Levi, I swear, you're so fast, I bet you could outrun a.. a.. cheetah, or maybe a dolphin, or a bird!"
Levi grimaced, though he was smiling on the inside. "You idiot, I don't think I'm even half as fast as a cheetah."
Eren didn't seem fazed by the name as he giggled and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh, by the way Levi, watch me run!" Levi gave him a questioning look.
Eren chuckled at his expression. "I'm running in the 4 by 4 meter."
Levi nodded; the only event he participated in was the 200, so he could watch the 4 by 4.
They sat a little longer, before it was announced. Levi sat in a spot in the grass where he could see the whole track just fine.
The teams of four lined up, Jean first, Connie second, Marco third, and Eren fourth, as he recalled from his thoughts earlier.
Jean held onto a green baton, talking to his team. "Don't screw this up, Jean."
Jean's response was to give a smirk and smack Eren upside the head with a free hand. "Don't doubt me, Jaeger." Eren flashed a grin at the other, before taking his place off the side of the track.
"On your marks..." Jean got in running positon, leaning forward.
"Get set..." He tensed up.
As soon as the shot was heard, he went off. Levi never really took the time to watch other people run, but man...
Jean was fast.
He pulled ahead of everyone else, and as soon as he was about 3/4 through, Connie was positioned to take the baton. When Jean was close enough, Connie took off in a run, and they executed the perfect-hand off, trading the green baton between eachother.
Connie wasn't as fast as Jean, but still quick. He was about 1/4 through the lap when the second team handed off.
As Jean and Connie had previously done, Marco went up to his line, and once again, performing a flawless hand-off.
Eren was positioned at his line once it was time, flashed a grin at Levi, and handed-off with Marco.
Levi's eyes widened as he watched Eren run.
"That kid is f#cking lightning.." He found himself muttering to himself.
Eren was already halfway through the lap when the second team was handing off.
And Levi could have sworn, as Eren was crossing the finish line,
He looks like he has wings, almost...
Which was funny, because there was nothing on the back of Eren's uniform, not an insignia like Levi's.
~-Hee timeskip-~
Eren and his team highfived, before Levi came up to him.
Levi was avoiding eye contact, and there was the slightest, almost invisible dusting of pink on Levi's cheeks as he opened his mouth to speak.
"That... was beautiful." He coughed, feeling awkward.
Eren stared at him, bewildered, before taking the shorter into a hug. "Thanks, Levi~!"
Levi nearly sighed into the comfort of the hug before realizing what was going on, and pushing the other away.
Levi simply mumbled, "Tch, brat.." while Eren grinned at him.
Stop being cute or I swear to God I will end you... Levi thought to himself.
This was a new thought.
(URGH TWO CHAPTERS IN A ROW. But I didn't want to fit it all into one chapter, because it would feel like it was dragging on, so, so, so. But I am satisfied. :3 )
