A/N: Are you ready? Second arc, here we go!
Brook Uchiha Daughter of Zeus - It's pronounced like Levi, except the "L" is slightly more like an "R", and you end the name sounding like you were going to say something more but decided against , like "Livaii", with the L sounding kind of like an R. Does that help, or just make it worse?
L. Kagamine-sama - An arc is like a story line. Say I'm writing a high school AU. Levi and Eren are both in high school. The first arc may be them falling in love, and the second arc may be the troubles they face after they graduate. Hope that helps!
MssCassandra - It's OK. I do that on a daily basis. Thankfully, my mother just sighs and shakes her head.
Eren pulled the scarf over his nose. Or, he tried to. Levi pulled it down to give Eren a quick goodbye kiss before he left. Eren felt heat rush to his face as Levi pulled away, smirking. The side of Levi's hand was black from writing.
"Are you sure you can't come?" asked Eren for the fifteenth time. Levi sighed.
"I'm sure."
Shortly after moving in with Levi, Eren had learned that Levi was studying to be a teacher. It had surprised him at first, but he had gotten used to the idea. Now, he thought the job suited him quite well. Levi was being a student teacher now, and had a lot of work to do. Not that he didn't have a lot of work to begin with.
"Be safe!" Levi called to Eren as he walked down the hall. Eren gave a small smile and a wave before heading out.
It was now mid-December, and a few weeks before Christmas. Connie had invited Eren to a bonfire. No matter how much he pleaded with Levi, he refused to go. Eren suspected the real reason was that he didn't like Eren's friends, but Eren was OK with that.
Eren pulled his scarf up further. He assumed that he and Levi were now dating exclusively. Neither of them had really spoken about it, but it was one of those things you didn't need to talk about. He wasn't sure when it happened. It just... did.
He hadn't spoken to his parents since he moved out. Sure, he got plenty of phone calls, which he promptly ignored. His phone rang almost constantly, so Eren had to set it to silent. Now he would miss any important calls, but it as worth it.
Eren knew he was close when he smelled fire and beer. When he arrived at Connie's house, the place was already a wreck. Eren hoped that Jean didn't let Armin drink.
Jean and Armin had been doing okay, too. They weren't necessarily dating yet, but they spent all of their time together. The only thing holding them back was Armin's refusal to accept Jean's offers to get back together. And Jean asked a lot.
Eren walked into the backyard. He could see Jean, Armin, and Mikasa in one area of the yard. In another, Sasha, Connie, Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt stood. There were a few other people, such as Ymir and Christa, Freckled Jesus, and Mike, to name a few. Eren had never really liked Mike. He walked over to stand with Mikasa and the others.
Armin and Jean were being lovey-dovey, and Mikasa looked like she was about to throw up. She was chugging her beer full-force. Eren walked over and relief flooded Mikasa's face.
"Eren!" she called. She didn't sound drunk at all. If there was one person who could hold their alcohol, it was Mikasa.
"Looks like Armin and Jean are eating each other's faces." Eren observed. Said couple continued to shove their tongues down each other's throats. "Don't you want to go somewhere else?"
Mikasa looked around. "We could go stand with Connie, I guess." she said. "But if he starts making out with Sasha, I'm leaving."
Eren laughed, and hooked his arm through Mikasa's. They walked over. Mikasa lowered her voice.
"You're not letting Levi-not-Rivialle do anything to you, right?" she asked, a protective tone to her voice. Mikasa had decided to let her one-sided love for Eren go. She had no chance, what with Levi-not-Rivialle showing up. And a man with such a weird name, too!
"No, Mikasa." Eren shook his head. "We haven't done anything yet."
The way Eren said "yet" bothered Mikasa, but she let it go.
"Hey!" Connie shouted. "It's Eren and Mikasa!"
"We can see just fine, dumb-ass." Annie hit him on the shoulder. She pushed her hair behind her ear, a habit of her's.
"And you can probably smell pretty well, too." Connie remarked , unable to help himself. With a loud thwack, Connie ended up on the ground. Annie was in a fighting stance with one hand on the back of her neck, a reflex she always had.
"That was uncalled for." Sasha scolded, taking a huge bite of a pastry she had bought. Well, Eren assumed that she had bought it. You never knew with Sasha.
"Honestly." Reiner put an arm around Annie, who shot him a menacing glare. Reiner ignored it. Annie huffed and looked away.
Eren looked at Bertholdt. He had always been kind of cute, wearing those big sweaters, always looking unsure of himself, and standing way taller than anyone else. Eren still thought so, even though his thoughts were occupied with a certain someone.
In the end, Sasha and Connie ended up having a make-out session anyway, and Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt went back to their normal group of three. Mikasa and Eren decided to go home a little early, since it just turned out to be a kissing fest.
"Bye bye, Eren." Mikasa waved. Eren waved back, a relaxed smile on his face. He had fun. He checked his watch. Half past midnight. It was still a bit early. Eren wondered if he should go get a coffee or a book or something.
Just then, Eren felt something covering his face. It smelled sickeningly sweet, and all Eren wanted was to hold his breath. His vision darkened, the muted colors of night slowly fading into black.
A/N: Who was it? I'm going to help you a bit and say that it was someone at the party. I think that next chapter will be mostly Jearmin and a bit of freaking out on Levi's part.
Also, this has nothing to do with the fic, and is not relevant at all, but Tom Hiddleson is just the cutest thing.
