A/N: Hi! I just want to say a few things before this chapter gets rolling.
First of all, I just love all of you so much. You guys make my day!
Also, I do think I'll do Jean x Armin, since I like that better than Annie x Armin. I was just thinking that they shouldn't all be same-sex couples. Maybe Annie x Legout, if you know who I'm talking about. Really, he only couple I hate is RiviMika. Yuck.
I also have no idea what college life is like, since I'm still in high school. I'll be avoiding writing about Levi in school at all costs. Sorry to bore you, here we go!.
Levi stifled a yawn as he headed out. It was almost Halloween, and Zoe wanted to go back to the cosplay cafe for Halloween Day. That was just a few days from now. Secretly, Levi wanted to go back to the cafe. He would never admit it, though.
Now, he didn't feel anything when he looked at Auroro and Petra. Nothing at all. He didn't even feel the need to puke. He didn't know what had happened over the past few days to do that, but he had an idea.
Today was Saturday, a whole week after he had last seen Eren. For some reason, he wanted to see him again. And get to know him. Maybe he would ask him out. Maybe. Levi felt his legs pull him toward a specific place, and he knew he was going to regret it. But he didn't stop walking.
Meanwhile, Eren was working. Today was Kitty Ears Day, another favorite among customers. Boys especially liked this one, but a lot of girls also enjoyed it. Eren didn't really like Kitty Ears Day. He took a huge blow to his pride every time he had to wear those embarrassing ears.
He had noticed a few men who had become regulars. He felt their eyes on him quite a lot. He was only a tad bit worried, and he didn't feel like going through the trouble of telling anyone. He was just being paranoid.
Eren looked over to where horse-face was working. Jean kept glancing around for Armin, who wasn't working today. Eren almost laughed. When Petra had told Jean that Annie was checking Armin out, Jean flipped out. As it turns out, she was just checking out Legout, a boy who looked surprisingly like an evil Armin.
The door jingled, and Eren looked up as Mikasa walked over to the door. There stood Levi, looking surprised that he had ended up there. And he was.
Why the hell did I come here anyway? he asked himself as he was escorted to a table by a raven-haired girl wearing cat ears. He didn't even know whether or not Eren was working today. He scanned the shop for Eren's emerald eyes.
There. Eren was staring at him in shock, his mouth slightly open. Levi suppressed the urge to smirk. The brat actually looked...
No. Levi refused to finish the sentence.
Eren pulled himself together and continued working. He glanced at he clock. Only a half hour left of work before his shift was over. Mikasa's as well. He suddenly felt very conscious of his cat ears, reaching up to touch them as he glanced back toward Levi. He was still staring at Eren, now not even trying to hide his smirk. Eren felt his face go red and turned back around.
I hope this half hour goes by quick, he thought as he gave a customer an omelet. She looked at it hungrily.
"Would you like anything to be written in ketchup?" He hoped not. Some people made him write some weird things. And by weird, he meant really weird.
"No, thanks." said the girl, shoveling forkfuls of the omelet into her mouth. He vaguely remembered her from school. Sasha? And who was that she was with? Connie? He didn't remember them eating here before. Maybe they were dating.
Finally, his shift ended. He quickly changed out of his uniform and left. Mikasa was waiting for him. They left the shop together, talking about everyday, ordinary things. But someone else was waiting for him, too.
Levi stood next to the entrance. Eren didn't notice him until he had already walked past the short man. He did a double take and swiveled around to meet Levi's less-than-amused face.
"Took you long enough, brat." he scoffed.
"Eren, who's this?" asked Mikasa. Eren opened his mouth to answer.
"L-e-v-i, not R-i-v-i-a-l-l-e." Levi said before Eren could answer.
"And how exactly do you know Eren?" asked Mikasa. Levi narrowed his eyes. He didn't have time to answer stupid questions. Then why did he have time to go to the cafe?
"Hey, Eren," he said, "I want to talk to you. Meet me at the park at eight." and with that, he was gone.
"Eren." Mikasa's voice was low. "How do you know him?"
"I don't even really know." said Eren honestly. He hadn't expected to see the older man again, at least not for a while. And especially not at the cosplay cafe. Did he come there just to see Eren? He felt a pang in his chest. No, it was too good to be true.
"Eren, I'll be eating dinner with you and Carla tonight." said Mikasa. "And don't you even think of going to see Levi-not-Rivialle." Mikasa didn't want anyone to take Eren away from her. She knew it was selfish, and she knew Eren was gay. But that didn't mean he wasn't bisexual. Actually, she was almost positive that he was bisexual.
Eren nodded. But inside, he was already anticipating going to see Levi, a small smile slipping onto his face.
