A/N: GAH! Another late update! I was going to wait until after school ended to update all my stories, but I got a review that motivated me to get off my lazy ass and write this.

Thanks for the review, namvd! You're the best at motivating lazy people like me:) :)

Its sort of bad and slightly uneventful, though, so I'll revise it once schools out.

Anyways...Enjoy and Review!

Chapter 3

"This week, we'll be mostly focusing on each of the relays for both the men and women's teams and seeing who will be on each one for every meet."

It's been about a week since the first practice and so far Eren has yet to decide what he feels about it all. In other words:

Eren loves being on the team since he has his friends, he gets to swim, and everyone is nice to him...

...Except for Levi, who makes practice almost a living hell because school is the one true hell in the green eyed teen's opinion.

The raven haired caption was probably the reason why around thirty swimmers left, though it was understandable. There were about seventy-five people that wanted to join and after the first practice, people started to not come and quit, leaving the team with about forty-two people; nineteen girls and twenty-three boys. Currently, Erwin was giving a miniature lecture on relays and how they were going to decide since Head Coach Pixis decided to get drunk the night before, leaving the coaching duties to Levi, Hanji, and Erwin; per usual.

"We'll first start with the two hundred Medley Relays. Remember that each team was selected by Coach Pixis after we had the mini meet three days ago. Group one is Alex in Backstroke, Eric in Breaststroke, Kyle in Butterfly, and Miles in Freestyle; you'll be in lane six. Group two is Levi in Backstroke, Armin in Breaststroke, Jean in Butterfly, and myself in Freestyle; we'll be in lane five..."

Eren watched his friends Armin and Jean walk up together to lane five as Erwin called out the last two groups. Hanji told the rest of the swimmers to stand near the edge of the pool to cheer on the teams. The glasses clad junior called over four people, which consisted of a freshman that Eren didn't know, Marco, Connie, and a senior, to time each lane; Marco timed lane six, Connie lane four, Reiner lane five, and the freshman timed lane three. Hanji then scampered to the starting machine and picked up the microphone attached to the device. Another junior blew a whistle three times; silence filled the pool deck with the occasional whisper flying around the swimmers at the side of the pool.

"Alright everyone! This is the men's two hundred Medley Relay; heat one of one." A long shrill of the whistle echoed as Levi and the other backstrokers jumped into the cold water and lined themselves up. The junior nodded to Hanji, "Take your marks," The swimmers pulled on the bars and tucked their heads in, "BEEP!"

The backstrokers pushed off, each in an almost perfect arch, a second after Hanji pressed the buzzer button; yells and cheers immediately spurred up, creating an almost deafening noise. Eren walked up the edge and watched the team in lane five. Levi immediately gained the lead, swiftly flipping at the wall with such speed that Eren thought that if he blinked, he would have missed it. Armin climbed up onto the block when Levi was half way through the second lap; the blonde put his hands out in an 'L' like shaped and moved his arms down in time with Levi.

Just as The raven haired caption took his last stroke, arching under the water even more to have a stronger finish, Armin swung his arms and pushed off. The blonde was underwater, doing the famous underwater pull out, until he was about half way across the pool. He looked like a bouncy ball, his upper body quickly bobbing in and out of the water at what looked like a record pace to people who weren't swimming. Armin already finished his second pull out as the team in second place just touched the wall, due to not only the lead that Levi gave him but of how fast he was; surprising most of the team (mainly the freshmen) that have never seen the blonde swim like that.

Just like Armin, Jean stepped up onto the block, repeating what Armin did, pushing off powerfully when Armin practically slammed his arms into the wall due to his strong finish. To Eren, Jean's form was practically flawless. The brunet looked like he was flying gracefully instead of swimming. Jean finished quickly (Erwin doing what both Jean and Armin did when he was on the block), giving his team another three seconds in their already about nine second lead. Erwin was a missile in the water, flipping at the opposite wall in no time and strongly finishing to the wall, soaking the people close the lane that he was in with the mini tsunami he created with the water. Reiner, soaked from the wave of chlorine water, went to Hanji and showed her their time. She squealed in delight as she bounced over to the winning team, gushing at their almost record time; saying that with a little more practice, they could break the school record.

With a towel draped around his neck, Erwin went to grab the relay list; Armin following him with a childish grin. He then read off the girls two hundred Medley Relay. Eren only registered that Krista was doing Backstroke, Sasha in Breaststroke, Mikasa doing Butterfly, Ymir in Freestyle; their team swimming in lane six. Jean sat next to the green eyed teen, water dropping onto his back from his hair. Eren smiled and gave his annoying but somehow amazing best friend a high five.

"You did pretty well, for a Horse face." Jean smirked and shook his head, effectively getting Eren wet in the process.

"I told you not to call me that, but thanks. Hanji kept on telling us that we'll definitely be the team for the two hundred Medley Relay." Both teens became quiet as the three shrills resounded again.

"The women's two hundred Medley Relay, heat one of one." The junior blew in the whistle; a long high note escaped the plastic contraption. "Take your marks," The girls went into their starting position, "BEEP!" The cheering wasn't as deafening but Eren couldn't hear what Jean was telling him, even though the other teen was literally right next to him. The green eyed teen then focused on what was happening in the water; finally understanding what his brunet friend was talking about.

Krista and the girl in lane five were practically neck and neck. The petit blonde gained a fraction of an inch when she arched to finish, giving Sasha maybe a half second lead. The other breaststroker wasn't as quick as the food loving teen; Sasha gained a little more of a lead when she pushed off the opposite wall. The other girl picked up her speed, only two feet away from leading, when Sasha finished and Mikasa flew off the block, instantly sprinting, her form almost as flawless as Jean's. The raven haired girl's part of the race ended quickly and Ymir started hers; the girl in second place had no chance against the brunet; leading into lane six's victory. The four girls walked up to their friends and gave either soaking wet hugs or loud high fives.

"Great job girls," Marco said as he handed his stopwatch to another swimmer and leaned his body on Jean, purposely making his boyfriend bend to the left slightly. Armin then pooped out of nowhere with Erwin in tow.

"Yeah! You guys were amazing!" Erwin then called out the boys two hundred Free Relay.

"The order of each team is in the order in how I call each person out. Group one Armin, Marco, Reiner, and Jean; lane three..."

The said boys walked over to the assigned block and another student took Marco's place as a timer. Hanji then called out the event and heat, right after the infamous three blows from the whistle. Armin and the other three starters stepped onto the block. "Take your marks...BEEP!" Eren watched as the two boys in lanes four and five sprinted quickly, obviously not knowing that they were wasting most of their energy before the flip turn. Armin managed to gain the lead during the middle of the second lap, though. A body plopped down next to the green eyed teen, taking the brunet's eyes away from the race.

"Tch. What are you looking at, shitty brat." It was more of a statement than a question; making Eren's eyebrows scrunch together in annoyance.

"Well, I was watching my friends but your short ass decided to show up and distract me." Levi glared at him, clearly insulted by the comment.

"I didn't know that brats like you took such a liking for short asses, and would rather stare at it instead of watching their friends compete." Eren blushed, more from embarrassment than anger, and turned to see Jean finish his fifty meters of freestyle; it was clear that they won, by the looks on Reiner's face. The brunet turned back to Levi, the junior's face still looked the same but his lip was twitching ever so slightly, probably from how he easily made Eren embarrassed. Eren was about to say something when Marco threw a wet towel at the green eyed boy's face. The brunet glared at the freckle clad teen that was snickering in front of him.

"What the hell was that for?" Eren chucked the brightly colored material back at its owner. Marco just laughed at the towel missed him by a mile.

"You're stupid."

"Yes! You finally agree with me!" Eren rolled his eyes as Jean (who decided to finally shove his face into their just starting conversation) looked like a four year old at a candy story from that bland comment.

"I didn't mean in general," Marco said as Erwin called out the relays for the girl's two hundred Free Relay; Annie pushed passed the group of boys in a successful attempt to get to the row of lanes.

This time, as the teams were lined up at their lanes, Levi was at the microphone and the junior next to him shrank a little before blowing the whistle three times, "All right...women's two hundred freestyle relay, heat one of one." Mikasa and the other starters stepped up on the block; Eren could see the raven girl glare at Levi who, in response to the look, just "tched" into the microphone as the last whistle resounded around the pool deck. "Take you marks," Levi drawled out as each girl tensed up, "BEEP!"

Mikasa immediately took the lead and in about ten seconds, swiftly flip turned of the wall. During the second lap though, Eren noticed that, even though she was keeping the lead, she was slowing down a little. Jean and the others must have noticed too because Krista looked worried and Reiner grunted while intensely staring at the race. Once Ymir dived off and Mikasa got out of the water, the raven started yelling loudly with Hanji for Ymir to swim faster.

"Mikasa must have known that she slowed down near the end." Marco commented as Ymir finished with a good enough lead to guarantee them a victory. Reiner and Bertolt cheered loudly as Annie sprinted down the pool to the other wall. Hanji was jumping up and down on the block as she yelled and cheered as the blond flipped and speed up to finish her part of the race. Hanji was doing fine until the person on the team that was second, speed up enough to be neck and neck with her at the turn.

"GO HANJI!" Eren shouted as everyone was either cheering for the brunet or the other swimmer. When both teenagers were about five meters from the wall, Hanji stretched and kicked just enough to pull forward and win by about a second. As the girls came back for water and a dry towel, Sasha and Krista went up and hugged the four as they congratulated them. Eren walked up to Mikasa as she took a long drink from her water and gave her a half hug. "You did fine, all you need is some more training and you'll be fine." Mikasa nodded and smiled softly.

"Thanks, Eren." She looked up as the men's four hundred freestyle relays were called.

"...Lane three, Levi, Eren, Jean, and Erwin." Hanji called out as Jean threw Eren his cap and goggles that the green eyed teen caught easily.

"Good luck." Eren looked at his adopted sister and smiled.

Having Jean randomly talk about shit was one thing, but having him do that and Levi mentally shooting bullets at the green eyed teen from his eyes was a whole different experience. The junior was next to Erwin who was, not surprisingly now, talking to Armin. Hanji was at the microphone and the whistle blew out, but Eren ignored it as he watched Levi up on the block as he went down into the starting position. Eren blushed and turned his head as he got a full view of the raven's ass.

"BEEP!" Levi and another swimmer were neck and neck but, based on what Erwin said during the junior's second lap, he wasn't swimming to his full potential yet. At the beginning of the third lap, Levi's pace picked up and by the time he flipped off the wall, he was a body and a half ahead of the other swimmer. Eren stepped up and kneeled slightly as he put his hands in a "L". His body met cold water when Levi finished and he launched himself off the block. The green eyed teen started with a fast, but not sprinting, pace as he quickly reached the wall and flipped. He couldn't see or feel the currents of any of the other swimmers but he speed up slightly as the second wall came up and he flipped even faster than he did on the first wall; soaking everyone around his lane. His muscles began to hurt and he was starting to loose air faster, but he kept on pushing forward, kicking in another gear, just in case another swimmer was right behind him. As he reached the wall, he pulled out whatever energy was hiding in his body and full out sprinted and flipped again, keeping the speed as he raced to the wall. When, and only when, Eren slammed his hand into the wall and Jean dived off, did he realized that he gave Jean another few seconds to their lead to use as an advantage.

Erwin smiled and congratulated him as Armin hugged him saying that he did amazing. Eren looked at his friends at the edge of the pool they all smiled and waved (Marco yelled, "Great job Jaeger!") before going back to cheering for Jean, who was on his third lap. Connie gave him a thumbs up from the lane that he was timing; Eren returned the gesture with a grin. Eren turned, only to have Levi literally right behind him. The green eyed teen gave him a wary look.

"What do you want?" Levi glared at him before holding out his hand. Eren cautiously took it and shook it.

"You did ok...for a brat." They watched as Erwin was already at the other end and on his second lap; Jean was already out of the water and talking to Armin who, for some odd reason was blushing slightly. Eren would have to ask Jean later. All of a sudden someone punched his stomach. The green eyed teen yelped on impact and glared at the raven next to him. Levi smirked and started to walk away.

"Don't stare at my ass next time."

Eren's face could rival the bright red shirt that Levi was putting on from where his was standing from across the pool deck.

The women's four hundred freestyles relays were called and all of the starters, Ymir was one of them, were on the block when Eren and Jean were standing at the edge of the pool, mostly dry and watched as the last event was taking place. Hanji pressed the buzzer and the swimmers dived off. Eren noticed that Erwin and Armin weren't around the area and then realized that he needed to ask the Horse Face next to him about the petit blond.

"Hey Horse Face." Jean turned his head and the brunet's eye twitched.

"Stop calling me that shit head. What do ya want." Ymir was on her final lap as Annie stepped up and was in position to jump off. Marco looked at Eren as Jean glared at him expectantly.

"What were you and Armin talking about during out four hundred relay, when I was looking around I saw him blushing while you two were talking." Jean gave him a weird look before nodding.

"Oh yeah, I was asking him why he was with Erwin so much and he started stuttering and blushing like a teenage girl. So, I'm thinking that he likes the guy and well, that's what I was telling Marco." Eren nodded as the new information sunk in to his brain. Annie was finishing her part of the race and Sasha dived off.

"Why would he like that guy though?" Eren wondered out loud to the other two, "I mean, Erwin acts like a fucking general or something."

"His parents and brothers are in the military," Marco said as Sasha was starting her third lap; she had a six second lead from the team in second place. "So I guess that's why he seems so straight forward and acts like a leader." The mini conversation ended as Sasha sprinted into the wall and Mikasa shot off the block. This time, Eren knew that she wasn't going to mess up near the end; especially with the lead that she has. The other anchors of the other three teams didn't even have a chance even with the teen's fast turns and long underwater butterfly kicks. Mikasa's second and third lap whizzed by and she kept on increasing her speed all the ways until she finished with record speed. Eren and the other cheered loudly was she pulled herself out of the water almost effortlessly. The green eyed teen knew that even though she wasn't smiling, her eyes showed the happiness in her for accomplishing her goal.

"Good job, everyone, especially if you swam today. Those teams that won will be the teams for each meet unless otherwise." Hanji looked at the group of high schoolers around her. "Practice tomorrow will be focused most on your major stroke, so go home and get some rest!" As everyone dispersed, the glasses clad junior noticed two things:

One, Erwin, Mr. Captain America himself, was still nowhere to be found; and neither was that cute blond sophomore boy that talks to him a lot now.

Two, Levi was still glaring at the blond boy's friend, who was talking to that two toned sophomore and his freckled boyfriend (since those two brunets were holding hands).

Hanji's eyes glistened as she pulled out her phone from her bag and began texting a certain blond diver.

"Oh, yes...this will be an interesting season..."

A/N: As I said up top, I'm sorry for another boring-ish chapter and not a million pounds of ErenxLevi fluff or other romantic stuff but I really wanted to write this instead of doing a full length mini meet and this is important for other main events that are going to come along...

I don't know if I mentioned that Mikasa was Eren's adopted sister in the other chapters but I wanted to mention that in here when Mikasa was angry at herself so yeah...

I hope you liked it since I temporally forgot what happened during a meet, I haven't swam in a few months :(

Anyways...Things will get better soon enough :)
