A/N: I was really happy to have some time to do nothing, to just lay in my bed and get on the internet, but then I decided that I was dumb and needed to write this before I was murdered by shippers. And so, here I go.
It's not that weird that they're mostly same-sex, right? I mean, not everybody is straight. Now, I know that not everybody is gay, too. But whatever.
Eren sat at the table with Armin, Mikasa, Carla, and Grisha. He was back from his business trip, and had even bought them all souvenirs. Eren, of course, had been allowed to invite his two closest friends, who had also gotten souvenirs. They were just cheap things, like snow globes and tee-shirts, but they were presents none the less.
Armin and Mikasa sat on either side of Eren, Mikasa slightly closer to him than Armin. Eren didn't notice, but Armin did. He had known his friends long enough to be able to tell every little thing about them, especially crushes.
But didn't Mikasa know that Eren was gay? She should. Armin frowned. He didn't want Mikasa to be heartbroken, but he also didn't want to have to talk to her about it.
But after the party, he did it anyway.
"Eren seemed so happy that Grisha was back." said Mikasa happily. "He told me about how lonely the house felt."
"Mikasa." Armin said slowly. "How do you feel about Eren?"
"Like a brother-" began Mikasa. Armin held up his hand.
"Really." Armin said seriously.
Mikasa stared at him for a few moments, her face unreadable. "I..." she began, turning her face away. "I love him. Not like a brother. Not at all." she laughed a little. It was a forced laugh.
Armin was silent. For a long time, the only sound to be heard was crunching leaves underneath their feet. Mikasa pulled her scarf up to cover her face. It was a scarf that Eren had given Mikasa long ago, when her parents had died and she had no one left in the world. Until a little brunette came by, wrapping a scarf around her face and saying, "You look cold!"
"Mikasa-" he began, but was cut off.
"I know, OK? I know." she said, her voice wavering. "I can't change how I feel. I love him, and he thinks of me as a sister. As long as I can keep it a secret (A/N: Ha ha), at least I'll always be a sister to him. At least I can have that. Don't tell him."
Armin was shocked. Mikasa was always so strong, for her to be wavering like this...
"I'm sorry." Armin said quietly. Mikasa gave Armin a sad smile and walked away, her scarf swaying as she moved and leaves crunching beneath her.
Levi stared at Kyojin. Levi had been in a rather comfortable position, reading a book and eating pocky. Then, the cat had crawled into his lap and fallen asleep. Levi didn't want to get up and wake him, but he didn't want to stay in that position any longer. His neck was starting to hurt.
He moved slightly, trying not to wake the sleeping cat. Her green eyes - much like Eren's - opened anyway. She stood up and stretched, digging her claws into Levi's stomach as she did so. Then, she jumped off. Levi sighed. The cat had been warm.
He was actually starting to like her, after the original feeling of hating it's guts as it pissed all over the house. As soon as she learned how to use the litter box, Levi had liked Kyojin more and more.
He heard a knock on the door and stifled a groan. Who would be visiting him? Irwin? Zoe? He got up and answered the door, cursing under his breath for the inconvenience.
Eren stood there, his nose and cheeks still red from the cold. Levi raised his eyebrows. It had only been three days, and already the brat wanted to see him again?
"Um," Eren said, his face turning redder than it already was. "I was hoping I could see Kyojin."
"Come in." Levi said, opening the door wider so that Eren could get in. Secretly, he was disappointed that Eren hadn't come to see him. He made sure his face didn't show it.
"Wow, it's really... clean." observed Eren, looking around. The house was spotless, with barely any furniture other than a black couch and a tv. The walls were white, as was most of the apartment.
He glanced back at Levi. The cat had been a good cover up for coming to see Levi. He could tell that Levi believed him completely, since the older man's excitement had gone down considerably when Eren had said so. He could tell by the tone of voice Levi used.
"And keep it that way." Levi warned with a deadly glare. Eren laughed nervously. Kyojin padded toward them and rubbed against Eren's leg, purring. Eren smiled and picked her up.
"Well, sit down." Levi said irritably. gesturing to his couch. Eren sat down hesitantly, not wanting to ruin it. He could feel Levi's gaze as he pet Kyojin, who rubbed her head on Eren's cheek. Eren laughed.
Damn, thought Levi, looking away, I want to kiss him.
This was going to be a long evening.
