Hello guys!

I had some free time so why not update?!

I don't have much to say, other than enjoy. Don't forget, everything is done for a reason! All of your reviews have made me smile so much! Btw, I am a she, just so you know. Thank you all so much for doing what you have done, you're all great. It's my first fic so yeah, great turnout!

Long Distance will be updated asap.

DISCLAIMER: Why can't I own? It all belongs to Isayama!

Tell her, it wasn't so simple but I did it.

I told her my feelings for Levi, I had to. She didn't criticize me, which I was thankful for. I was thankful for everything Hanji has done for me. I told her about the situation we kissed, though I was very reluctant to tell her about that part, she would never dare report it. Although, she had to, she would never. I made her promise to.

By the time I had told Hanji everything, the bell was getting ready to go. When it did, I made my way to first period, English. I was so thankful for English, I know Ms Ral won't bother me.

I made my way to English, keeping my cool. As much as I wanted to run out and hide, I wouldn't-no I couldn't.

"Eren," Ms Ral began, as I was about to walk through the door frame. "Eren, can I have a minute?"

I gave her a nod, why not.

She closed the door behind us, making sure that no one was around. She took my hand into hers, looking me in the eye. "Eren, I heard about what happened, I am so sorry. Sorry for your loss. Sorry for how, you coming out, turned out. If there is anything, anything you need. Please, come to me. Hanji and I are always here for you, you're not alone. I too lost my sibling, my brother actually, for the same reasons, when I was younger. I didn't think I would live without her, like you, we were all each other had. We got into some 'bad business' and well… you can imagine what happened there." Ms Ral began to choke back sobs at the pained memory. "Eren, please… we are here for you, you can tell me, you can tell Hanji. Just please, don't go through this alone."

I gave her a smile, albeit weak. She enveloped me into an embrace.

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Ms Ral."

She pulled back after a moment. "Please, Eren. Call me Petra when we're like this. Right, now get in there." The cute teacher said before giving me a nudge.

I opened the door and took my usual seat, in the corner at the back of the room. On my way to said place, I received a lot of looks from the other students in the class. Some looked as if they were disgusted in me. I guessed that was due to the fact that they most likely found out I am gay. But why the others? Why were they staring? I realised that my eyes were still puffy and red from before.

The English lesson was like any other. Analysing quotes. We had to think of as many different contexts the author meant in certain different words. It wasn't my strong point in the subject, I'll say that. No, my strongest is Narrative writing, by far; you get to use both description and speech. It's great.

Anyway, during the lesson I found myself zoning-out. I thought back to all that had happened in the past month or so. Shit, my life is really messed up. I mean in the past two days, my sister- well, you know, and I confessed my feelings to the man I love, accidentally. I'm so screwed.

Speaking of accidentally, I accidentally groaned aloud. This caused many people to turn my way, and for Ms Ral-no, Petra to stop the lesson. "Are you okay, Eren?" She asked, obviously worried about me.

"Yeah, what's the matter Gayger?" I heard someone on the other side of the room snicker, a chorus of laughter following soon after.

"JEAN KIRSCHTEIN! TO THE HEADMASTER'S OFFICE, NOW!" The small English teacher bellowed.

This sent the whole class into a state of shock, including me. I have never heard Petra shout like that before, no one has.

Jean, the person who made the comment seemed to be scared shitless. He couldn't move. The look on his face was screaming what.

"DID I STUTTER?! GET YOUR HOMOPHOBIC FACE OUT OF HERE NOW!"

I could see the other boy swallow, harshly. He reluctantly got up from his seat and made his way to Headmaster Erwin's office.

Ms Ral's eyes followed the boy out of the class room, only leaving him when the door had closed. She turned around to the class, rage evident. "I want all of you back here after school. Everyone accept Eren. You're all sick people. How dare you make fun of someone's sexuality. HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed once more, slamming down a book this time.

Although she did this for me, I was still scared to death. But not because of her actions; I knew something like this situation would attract some unwanted attention.

The bell rang, signalling the end of lesson. People stood from their seats, but she shouted at them to sit down.

I sat at the back of the room, watching this whole thing play out, not moving an inch.

When people were re-seated, Petra began calling out some names. All of which, were the best behaved in my class. But I was among the names too. When she had finished calling out the list, she dismissed the others. Ms Ral made sure to threaten them with bad consequences, if they didn't come back.

Once the last person had left the room, her face softened and her usual smile came back. "I'm so sorry about that guys. I know none of you were involved in this incident. You are NOT coming back tonight. I know all of you are decent young people. Thank you." The ginger English teacher smiled once more and ushered everyone, other than me, out of her classroom. "Eren, are you okay?" She asked, placing a delicate hand on my shoulder, as if I were a precious gem.

I nodded. "Thanks, again, Petra. I feel so pathetic; you and Hanji do too much for me. Everyone does too much for me, they always have, and Mikasa was a pain when it came to that."

Petra gave me a sad smile. "Eren, you underestimate yourself. What have you got now?"

"Oh, Erm… Music with Mike."

She gave me a nod. "I'll send him an Email saying you were with me. Say, Eren… do you like music?"

My eyes lit up, for the first time in forever. "Yes I really do Petra. It's one of my favourite subjects."

"What do you play?"

"Well, I sing and play some piano."

Ms Ral gave me another nod, adding a smile this time. "I will get you to play for me one day."

"Sure thing." I retorted before leaving the room.

You're not alone

In what context did Petra mean that in? Something was definitely up. I will have to talk to Hanji later.

I continued to walk down the corridor, on the way to music. It was near the art department, in fact I have to walk past said department to get to music. I was getting a little nervous. I really didn't want to see Mr Rivaille's face ever again. But then I thought, he is my art teacher, and I do have a double with him last period. Well fuck.

There wasn't many people on the corridor as I walked down; it had been at least 10 minutes since lesson two had started. That I was glad for.

Walking down the art department, a door opening to my right caught my attention. I didn't realise, but it's the door to my art room.

A small person leaned out of the doorway, scanning the hall. Then, teal met grey.

I gasped and sped up my pace, ignoring the calls for me. "Jaeger," I heard him call several times. But none of them did I answer. That man broke me. I absolutely dreaded my last two periods now. But luckily, I have music now. It's my escapism lesson. A lesson where I can be me. It's like that in art too. No, wait… it was like art.

I walked into my music class room, to find hardly anyone was actually in there.

"Ah, Eren… it's nice to see you. I just got an Email from Ms Ral. I have already put people in practice spaces. But, this room is free." He said, pointing to the practice room next to his desk. "We are doing our solo performances."

"Okay, thank you, sir." I said before opening the door of said practice room and closing it.

In the room was a piano. It wasn't a grand one. But it was a piano. I took a seat on the leather piano bench before flipping the lid.

My fingers gently tapped various notes. Warm up over and done with, I turned to my bag and took out some sheet music.

Skyfall, the song title read. I chose it because it reminds me, of me. I choose songs I have a connection to because I find I play them better. It gives the song more meaning. It was also Mikasa's favourite song.

I began to play the opening, my head and body moving with every touch.

This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten.

My body still rocked as I threw my head and let the words come out softly.

For this is the end, I've drowned and dreamt this moment. So overdue I owe them. Swept away, I'm stolen.

The music kicked in and I poured my heart and soul into it.

Let the Skyfall, when it crumbles

Tears started to stream down my face now.

We will stand tall, and face it all together.

My tears were full force now and my fingers started to shake on the keys. When I got into the second verse it didn't get much better. A mixture of emotions still ran through me: grief, anger, sadness and the feeling of being lost. All of these were let go as my voice let go of the words and my hands furiously pressed down on the smooth, white keys.

At skyfall~

I built up, the word getting gradually louder as I neared the end.

Once the last note was played, I lost it. I put my head into my hands and cried. To be honest, I was surprised I could still cry, I had done it so much in the past few days.

CLICK

I turned my tear-stained face to the door. Hanji. I let out a sigh of relief, it was only Hanji. She sat down next to me, on the bench and pulled me into a hug.

"Eren, that was beautiful. Mikasa would be so proud of you."

"It was her favourite song. She would always say it reminded her of us, that's why she liked it so much."

Hanji began to twiddle my hair between her fingers. I had stopped crying by now. Hanji got up from her seat and began looking through some piano books. She handed me one on a specific page.

Young and Beautiful – Lana del rey

See you all next time!

Young and beautiful is a song that reminds me of Eren x Levi and Skyfall reminds me of Mikasa and depression. Please let me know what you think and if there are any improvements I would be glad to hear them.
