A/N: Oh my Gods! sorry for not updating last week, but here's the next chapter! For all the people that favorite, followed, etc., you're the best and I absolutely love you all for liking that pathetic excuse of a first chapter:) It makes me feel like staring at a computer for 8 hours straight to write it was worth it! The story will get better though...

A Totally Random But Semi Important Announcement Thing: Ok so I have another idea that I really want to write as soon as possible. It's a Peter Pan AU with LevixEren as the first main pairing, but I'm having difficult time trying to pick the other main pairing. I want to do either JeanxArmin and have Marco as a 7 year old or do JeanxMarco and make Armin 11 years old. I don't know which one to choose so review if you like a certain pairing or something of that sort!

Now, on to the story!

I don't own Alone Together by Fall Out Boy or As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber.

Enjoy and review!

Chapter 2

Being in the cold water was a relief to Eren, no matter how exhausting the sets were.

One thing that the brunet knew about the practice was, after swimming the warm up and getting a good look at the sheet of paper, that it was meant to wean out the people who couldn't or didn't want to do the amount of work that was inferred between the splotchy black ink lines. After all, the team had a reputation of only having some of the best swimmers in the city.

Eren greedily sucked down water from his almost empty water bottle as he looked at the next thing on the soggy paper. "Three one hundred IMs, followed by a one two hundred IM, do this twice..." Eren's eye twitched; he absolutely hated IMs, especially butterfly (he never understood Jean's love for that fucking stroke), even though he sometimes (once in a blue moon, which was still very rare for the teen) swims the two hundred IM at a meet. Grumbling, the green eyed teen looked up to see that Levi and Erwin, the blonde that was 'coaching' Armin's lane, finished talking and the other teen was heading back to his lane. The caption scrunched up his nose when he noticed Eren looking at him. Steel grey eyes narrowed as Levi picked up the practice and looked at it.

"Ok fucking brats, you have three one hundred IMs which followed by a one two hundred IM. All of you pathetic brats have to do this twice or you'll be dealing with me." Eren placed his water bottle on the edge of the pool before pushing off.

"So how was it then?" Marco grinned as the freckled boy walked up to Eren after Levi dismissed the team and specifically told them to, "Not be fucking late tomorrow or you'll be shiting yourselves after I deal with you."

The brunet shrugged, "It was fine. The sets were easy and the people in my lane were nice, but I think it was because they all pissed themselves when Levi told us what to do and stuff."

"So that means you'll be staying then?" Eren turned to see Jean walk up and put an arm around Marco.

"If that makes you guys and Armin shut up, then yes." Both boys grinned as the green eyed teen looked for his blonde friend, "Hey, have you seen Armin? I've only seen him briefly after getting out of the water before he left me for something." Jean shook his head and tangled his fingers with his boyfriend's. Marco nodded and pointed behind Eren.

"He's been talking to that guy over there since the beginning of practice. He was coaching his lane as well before going to Levi for a bit." The three watched as Armin and a tall blonde were sitting on one of the benches near the blocks, deep in whatever conversation (probably something philosophical, knowing Armin and all) both teens were in. Occasionally, Armin would laugh and put a hand on the other's shoulder, making the other blonde blush a little before joining the sophomore next to him. Eren rose an eyebrow in slight confusion before widening his eyes.

"Why would he need to talk to Erwin? I've never seen them talk before."

Jean nodded, "I know. He, Levi, and Hanji never talked to us last year. They were isolated most of the time, except at the meets when people seemed to actually acknowledge them." Marco's phone vibrated and the freckled boy read the text that was sent to him. His eyes widened slightly before quickly replying back.

"Armin just texted me to tell you guys that we don't have to wait for him. He's going out somewhere with Erwin apparently." The three watched as the two blondes walked out of the pool deck. Armin, even though he shouldn't have, looked back, only to see three different expressions:

Marco was grinning knowingly; shaking his head like a parent would after seeing their child make a huge mess in the kitchen.

Jean tilted his head in confusion before finally realizing what was happening and gave the small blonde a playful wink.

Eren...Well he just looked like his normal I'm-gunna-get-to-the-bottom-of-whatever-shit-is-going-on expression; he was pretty much glaring at Erwin who didn't even bother to look behind. Armin was slightly glad that he didn't.

"I always knew he was gay, even though he hasn't actually told us yet." Eren swatted the back of the other brunet's head; Marco laughed as they left to go to the green eyed boy's house like they usually did after school.

"Shut the fuck up Horse Face, nobody wanted to hear your opinion to begin with."

"AND DON'T EVEN BOTHER COMING BACK IN!"

The classroom door slammed on Eren's face. Mrs. Bentley sent him out after hearing an insult that was throw at her. Thinking that it was the brunet, because whenever something bad happens, it's always Eren's fault regardless of who actually did it. The green eyed teen huffed and picked up his bag that the English teacher threw at him before kindly shutting the door in her own special way.

God, he hated that wrinkly old woman.

Well, he might as well make use of the rest of fifth period (which was only like forty-five minutes left) and pulled out his IPod; putting in his neon green skull candies.

I don't know where you're going
But do you got room for one more troubled soul?
I don't know where I'm going
But I don't think I'm coming home and I'll say
"I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead"
This is the road to ruin
And we started at the end

Eren walked down the language hallway, ignoring the looks he got from the students in the classrooms. The brunet didn't know where to go; there weren't many places to crash until lunch.

The library...nope, the lady in there also hated him for reasons unknown.

The auditorium, maybe he could watch the class do improve or something...or the teacher, Mr. Shadis, who (to no one's surprise really) hated him as much as Mrs. Bentley, and might throw him out, literally, for disturbing his class.

Say it, (yeah)
Let's be alone together, (yeah)
We could stay young forever, (yeah)
Scream it from the top of your lu-lu-lungs
Say it, (yeah)
Let's be alone together, (yeah)
We could stay young forever, (yeah)
We'll stay young, young, young, young, young

Yeah
Yeah

Eren racked his brains, thinking of all the possible places that he could go. The soccer field, no, the soccer coach hated his guts for beating up on of his best players because the stupid midfielder was hitting on Mikasa...again. The Biology class, nah, Eren would just annoy the crap out of the teacher, who also despised him as well and he never even had her before. The band room, Eren broke the base drum by accident; not a good place to show up. The carpentry class, destroyed two saws and cracked a window out of pure anger at the kid next to him last year. The brunet couldn't even go five feet near the door to Mr. Zackly before being sent away to the principal's office.

There was no place to go...Stupid, fucking, god damn teachers and their shitty hatred towards him.

You cut me off, I lost my track
It's not my fault, I'm a maniac
It's not funny anymore, no it's not
My heart is like a stallion
They love it more when it's broken
Do you wanna feel beautiful?
Do you wanna, uh
Yeah

The green eyed teen turned down the history hallway; probably one of the only places in Sina High that he wasn't prohibited from. Eren began to hum to whatever random song Jean and Marco put on his IPod when they 'kidnapped' it from him for a whole weekend. He still hasn't listened to every song they put on his device and he's heard at least ten new songs everyday for the past month.

"For a fast swimmer, you're pretty slow at realizing that people are following you." Eren spun around only to meet gun metal eyes.

"Levi."

"Tch, what are you doing shitty brat? Aren't you supposed to be in a fucking classroom learning the shit they teach us?" The brunet took the ear bud that Levi took out of his ear before rolling his eyes.

"I was sent out for no reason and was specifically told not to come back in." That earned Eren another, "Tch." from the swim caption in front of him. Seeing that the raven teen didn't look like he was done talking, Eren turned to find some random peace and quiet. A hand grabbed the top part of his head, forcing the green eyed teen to turn around. Levi's glare only intensified as Eren mumbled something under his breath.

"I wasn't done with you shitty brat. I was looking for your puny ass anyways; don't just walk away and making this torture of a job that Erwin gave me any fucking harder." Eren glared back with only about a half of the intensity compared to Levi.

"Well, what is it?" The raven haired teen rolled his eyes at the stupid but, somehow, cute expression on the green eyed brat's face...wait, cute?

"Erwin wanted to know if Armin and the rest of you brats wanted to join us for lunch, if you wanted of course, thought I think that this was mainly for the blonde kid you hang out with."

"You mean Armin. You just said his name too." Levi let go Eren's head, almost making the younger teen fall flat on his face.

"What the fuc-"

"Shut up shitty brat and go find your friends or whatever you fucking call them. You can find Hanji near the lunch line." Levi turned and left as the bell rang; a wave of students flowed into the cramped hallways to get to the lunch room.

As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love me, love me
As long as you love, love me, love me

"Wha-God dammit, they had to put that on here...I hate that Canadian."

"Hey Eren, wait up."

Eren turned around as four people jogged up to him; Mikasa and Armin were in a seemingly deep conversation for today's lecture in Psychology class. The green eyed teen walked up to he other two and punched the teen to left on the shoulder.

"OW! God dammit Eren, that hurt!" Jean rubbed his new injury as Eren glared at him and Marco.

"Never put Justin Bieber on my IPod again. You know how much I fucking hate him." Both teens looked at the glaring boy in front of them in confusion.

"We didn't put him on there, Jean and I don't listen to him. Besides, Jean is addicted to Dub Step and I like anything that isn't by people like Justin Bieber." Eren narrowed his eyes in disbelief.

"Can you get the song off, better yet remove anything else that was done by that singer?" Marco nodded as Eren gave the freckled boy the IPod. The five reached the cafeteria as Hanji magically appeared from whatever spot she used to be in and grabbed Eren's shoulder.

"Did they say yes?" The green eyed teen looked over at his friends.

"Hey guys. Hanji asked if we wanted to go and eat with her, Erwin, and the rest of their friends." Mikasa nodded, saying something about Annie and Sasha getting detention in Culinary class (a fascinating story about how both girls plotted to get all the chicken tenders that the class made, since Sasha was dying from hunger, by only using needles and chopped up pepper). Reiner left during fourth period for a sports therapist appointment for his knee; nothing to really worry about since he's been going to therapy since the beginning of last school year. None of them have seen or heard from Ymir and Krista since yesterday's practice.

"I'm cool with that," Marco smiled.

"Yeah, Bertolt is tutoring Connie for the big test on World Geography." The group got their trays and picked out whatever they wanted for today, which there were a lot of choices to choose from since the school, thanks to the principal, had the best food around; in Eren's opinion at least.

"U-um. I'm-m fine w-with that." Armin mumbled, the blonde's cheeks a bright pink that didn't go unnoticed by the others, thought no one said anything and Hanji just gave a wicked glint (the kind that she has on when she's planning something, but only Levi and Erwin knew the look) that only Eren noticed. The glasses wearing teen swung an arm around Armin, while expertly balancing her overflowing lunch tray with one hand, and laughed heartedly; leading sophomores to the table near the ginormous window that allowed people to over look the large dark green field that had the soccer, baseball, and football fields.

"It's fine~ I'm sure they'll love all of you! Especially Erwin~" Hanji 'whispered' the last part in Armin's ear as the younger teen flushed even darker. Eren noticed and raised an eyebrow.

"What does she mean, Armin? Does this have to do with ditching Jean, Marco, and me yesterday?" The blonde rubbed the back of his neck, most likely trying to stop blushing in Eren's opinion.

"Um, well...Oh hey guys!" Armin rushed to sit down next to Erwin, who smiled fondly back at the smaller blonde. Eren sat next to his friend as Armin mouthed, "I'll tell you later" to him as the others all sat in the remaining seats. There were a few juniors that the sophomores didn't know at all. A small blonde girl was laughing at Levi's expression as Hanji nearly killed the raven haired boy by swinging an arm around him. Another blonde teen sniffed Eren before nodding at a comment that a light brown haired girl said to him. The green eyed teen shuddered at the unexpected sniff and glanced at another teen who just bit his tongue from arguing with Hanji and two other brunets. The blonde girl stopped her giggling as she looked at Armin.

"OHMYGOSH! He's sooooo cute! What's your name?"

"A-armin." The girl giggled as she looked at the rest of us.

"My name's Petra. I'm on the diving team." She then pointed at the teenager who sniffed Eren, "This is Mike. Sorry if he sniffs you, he does that to people he hasn't met yet. This is Nanaba, she's on the basketball team." The brunet girl smiled and gave a large wave to the sophomores before going back to her Kindle. Petra then elbowed the junior next to her, making him bite his tongue again.

"What the-" The blonde girl tilted her head towards the younger teens in sitting at their table. The teen coughed, "I'm Oluo and these two idiots next to me are Gunther and Eld." The two brunets began protesting about how Oluo was the stupid one for agreeing to wear perfume and cologne smelling like animals or something like that. Eren looked at the four juniors in front of him.

"Are they always like that?" Jean asked Petra as the blonde glared at the idiots next to her. Hanji, Erwin, and Levi just ate, fully ignoring the commotion.

"Yeah, but I'm used to it. They're also on the dive team as well and they're all pretty good." Jean nodded and turned to his boyfriend to strike a previous conversation on the pros and cons of horseback riding (it was started when Eren was pissed off at Jean for beating him at Call of Duty yesterday and chucked every insult that he could think of that was horse related); Hanji immediately joined in when Marco said something about experimentation. Eren turned to ask Armin what he wanted to tell him, since Mikasa was texting Annie and Sasha, only to see that he was in another deep conversation with Erwin. The green eyed teen sighed and picked at his salad; watching the argument about perfume and animals.

He didn't notice a pair of gun metal eyes glaring at him with enough intensity to destroy humanity with one look.

A/N: Hope it wasn't too bad, I kept on thinking that I was rushing too much between Levi and Eren and redid this chapter at least 4 times...
