Long day at School and Pain in the Butt Teacher
Hey guys and girls…I just wanna apologize quickly, I never really realized how bad Levi's language was until I was writing this fic…So, sorry if there is too much language like that. Well then, onto the story!
Levi was by no means in a good mood, he had been touched by a dirty brat who pretended that he had no idea what he was saying! That said brat was already in the classroom sleeping, oh how much Levi just wanted to dump something on the boy. With as much restraint as possible, he made it to his desk and sat down to continue his book 'Le Petit Prince' the class was almost finished reading the short book, but it was so short so why did it take his class so long? Oh right, they hardly paid attention and most of the time he would be giving them lectures on how to behave and how to clean up after themselves. Except for Eren, he never did anything wrong, he never did anything. The boy was a mystery, the worst mystery was the French. God the boy did great but why was he in a beginner class? He would have to ask him later
'Eren, focus! The enemy won't wait for you if you're dazed!' It was his father, why was he there?
"I am focusing!" Eren shot back, causing Levi to raise an eyebrow and look up from the book.
'EREN!'
"WHAT?!" as soon as he shouted he jolted awake, adrenaline and panic coursing through his body. Levi stared at Eren unable to move, he could sense that the boy didn't know where he was at the moment.
'Shitty brat causing shitty problems!' Levi got up as he called the boy's name but got no response, "Brat what are you doing?" ugh, he hated his job.
'Don't trust anyone Eren, you know what happened last time you did.' The daunting voice of his father came again,
"Shut up!" he hissed, Levi naturally thinking that the boy was talking to him got red in the face and marched up to Eren and gave him a hard slap across the face waking Eren up. As Eren came back to his senses he looked down to see an enraged short man, who was his tea-"Oh" Eren sheepishly rubbed his head and apologized.
"Do you really think I'm going to let it go that easily?" Levi hissed, why was it that no one listened to him? Eren backed up and decided the best course of action was to leave the class until school actually started. "I'll tell the principle that you skip class, and how the hell do you keep getting in my class before me? I know I lock the door," Levi snapped, he had no more patience left and the day was just getting started as a few more students walked into class muttering some good mornings, but that was also the moment Eren stopped talking. Levi realized he always stopped talking when more people would come in class, yes he had heard Eren on the phone before but as soon as the second student walked in he would stop. Levi sighed and stomped back to his desk, only 8 hours left for school.
°RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG°
"Alright, everyone stop talking and take a seat!" Levi exclaimed, most did as he said except for some-Reiner and Bertolt. Levi knew who he was going to be giving extra homework to. With a wicked smirk he quickly grabbed the book from his desk and took a stool to the front of the class and sat himself down. "Any questions before we begin?" Levi asked, looking around the class and glaring at anyone who was about to raise their hand. "Good, class is in session." With that he opened the book and started reading, "Chapitre dix-neuf…Le petit prince fitl'ascension d'une haute montagne. Les seules montagnes qu'il n'eût jamais connues étaient les trois- Bertolt, translate what I just read!" Levi said as he shut the book in anger, why did they never listen? Bertolt stood up, his body shaking. He cursed under his breath. He never understood how the teacher ever found out he wasn't paying attention, he quickly glanced over at Eren and internally smiled to himself.
"What about Eren who always sleeps in class? How come you never pick on him?" the boy shot back. Levi had to admit that this student had guts, talking to him like that. So, true to his nature he threw the book which would have hit Eren square in the face if not for his fast reflexes. Everyone watched as Eren stood up and looked with his dead eyes at the teacher.
"What?" that sentence held so little yet so much meaning that it sent shivers down the classes back.
"Traduire ce que j'ai dit" Levi said, that moment, Eren had realized a few things as he stared at his teacher. First thing was how good the man sounded when he spoke in French, the other was that the man had a good figure, he would look better without that scowl that remained on his face. "Qu'attendez-vous pour?" Levi demanded. Bertolt just smiled as he finally got in luck! Eren never payed attention!
"After that, the little prince climbed a high mountain. The only mountains he had ever known were the three- Bertolt, traduire ce que je viens de lire" Eren deadpanned and got a murderous glare from Levi,
"Vous petit merdeux! Sortir et m'attendre après la classe!" Levi hollered and pointed to the door. Eren got up and headed to the door, he turned to the teacher once more and decided against the two things he had thought of Levi.
"Pourquoi? Tu m'as à traduire ce que vous dites. Je n'ai rien moins." Eren responded and left the class. With a satisfied sigh, he slide onto the ground and pulled out his phone. Levi on the other hand was fuming in anger.
'To: Boss
Words: 12/408
Erwin, I got thrown out of class for being too smart :P' with a nod he sent the message, not even a second later his phone vibrated.
'From: Boss
Words: 33/408
What did you do Eren? I thought I told you not to fail the class, getting thrown out is not a good thing if you want to pass. See me during your break.'
'To: Boss
Words: 31/408
I can't, the teacher asked me to stay after class, I think it's because of what I said. I'll come and see you during the second class since its study hall.' With a sigh he leaned his head back, thinking back on the death of his classmate, which he did. He knew around the end of the day Erwin would have an assembly for the school, remembering Marco. Eren brought his knees up to his chest and laid his head down and covered his head, finally allowing tears to run down his face.
"CESSER D'ÊTRE SI STUPIDE BERTOLT! BRAUN!" Eren chuckled and wiped away his tears, finally having listened to enough he let himself fall into sleep.

"en, Eren!" not now! The boy thought to himself, he JUST fell asleep and class wasn't over yet.
"Go away, class'snt over" he mumbled but got a kick in return.
"Wake up brat!" Levi growled and crossed his arms as he looked down at Eren who was rubbing his side. "Come on, its time for us to talk." Levi finished and turned around to walk back in the class. At that moment, Eren's body acted out of its own accord and grabbed onto Levi's shirt causing the man to stop. "You need something?" he asked as he glared down making Eren let go and stand up blushing.
"Nothing, I don't know what came over me." he replied quietly and followed him in the class, "Can I close the door sir?" he got a small nod and so he closed the door and was about to take a seat.
"No, not there. From now on you will be sitting near me so I can make sure you are paying attention. You didn't miss to much of the lesson but I need to know something." Levi stopped, checking to make sure that Eren was listing to him, surprisingly he was.
Eren hated it when teachers tried to help him, he was already making money and was set up with a job. He didn't understand why he had to go through this.
"Your in French 1 year 2 now, you know a lot more French than the others. Why are you in this class and how are you failing?" Levi asked as he started to get out Eren's file for the class. Eren just shrugged his shoulders and stayed quiet. Levi went through some of the papers and pulled out some of them, "I now understand how you are able to get the same grade for everything, I don't know why you do it but if this goes on I'm going to have to talk to your father-"
"No!" Eren exclaimed and realized what he did as Levi was giving him an uncertain look. "I-I meant I'll work on my grades in this class-"
"And you'll start participating." Levi finished making Eren cringe, he did not want to talk during that class. "If you don't, then I will be calling your father and arranging a meeting." Levi added and watched the different emotions play on Eren's face.
Eren stared at Levi's face as the man looked down at the papers that all had 50s, it was ironic. It was half a grade, he was half a person.
Levi hadn't looked up which gave Eren plenty of time to actually study the dirt free man. The longer Eren stared at him, the more he wanted to touch the said man. Eren's hand slowly made its way up to Levi's hair and brushed some of the black hair out of the way, causing both to freeze.
"H-hi" Eren breathed out as if he didn't do anything.
Levi who totally ignored what just happened launched into what he was doing wrong on his homework and his tests and quizzes. "Lastly, your homework is to find two songs and tell in at least one paragraph how that relates to you." Levi finished but realized that Eren was just staring at him. "Brat! Stop staring and pay attention." he snapped and opened his water bottle to have a quick drink.
'It won't be so bad Eren, do it, you know you want to!' Ugh, how much Eren hated that little voice in his head (he's not schizophrenic) right as Levi was going to put the bottle to his lips Eren swatted the bottle down causing the water to spill on the man's lap.
"THE FUCK BRAT! Yout think your so clever making me look like I fuckin pissed myself do you?" Levi yelled as Eren stayed impassive, not flinching as some spit landed on his face, it wasn't bad, he preferred it over blood. At that moment, an idea came over Eren as Levi's hand started coming down to hit him out of fury. It was a bad idea, but an idea none the less. It was more of a what if-but a what if is a what if.
Seconds before the hand struck home Eren got up and grabbed Levi's wrist lightly, but enough to deflect the blow. "Lesson one, always pay attention to your opponent, NEVER let them take you by surprise." Eren grinned.
Levi furrowed his brows, this was not what he expected. Eren smiled slightly and manuvered himself around the desk so he could stand in front of Levi. The man's hand still in his grip which he twisted and put it behind the man's back, causing him to break the personal bubble. "Lesson two, know when to yield and when to fight. It will save your life."
Levi let Eren guide his arm behind his back, "What lesson three?" he asked, intrigued, but he had to report this to the principle.
"This" Eren whispered and closed the gap between them, kissing the man on the lips.
