Yo...so this is extremely late. But I warned you~ IB classes are killing me and it's the third day of school! Updating for me is going to be very slow coming, but when I get the chance to update I will. Next chapter will be longer hopefully...and I will finally be getting to the part where Levi's past is explained. Maybe Eren's as well. And maybe, no promises, maybe I'll get to some smutty goodness. Thanks for reading~ and as always, please review!

Much to his surprise, Levi felt a tear slide down his cheek. The pain he was feeling was indescribable, and it was all he could do to keep himself from sobbing. He watched as the one person he had ever loved walked away from him, hand in hand with someone else.

"Don't go!" He cried. "Please...don't leave me..."

Levi awoke gasping for breath, and wiped away a tear that wasn't there. It had been at least 3 years since he had last had that dream. 'Is it because of Eren?' He wondered. The young teacher got out of bed and got ready for work. He got to his classroom to see that Eren was waiting outside for him, sitting on the floor in the hallway. He sighed heavily.

"Well you sound happy to see me," Eren said, referring to Levi's sigh.

"Very." Levi replied sarcastically.

"Is there something wrong?" Eren asked with worry, as he stood up.

"No. Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to see you. And to tell you I love you." Eren said. Levi turned his head away and sighed again. He couldn't help but to recall his dream. He didn't want to get hurt again, not like last time. He thought he had been done with love, until this shitty brat walked into his life.

"Look...I can't. I don't want to do this anymore." Levi said.

"Don't want to do what anymore?"

"I don't want to go out with you. I don't want you to prove your love to me. I'm sorry...I can't accept your feelings no matter what." Levi turned his head back towards Eren.

"...Why?"

"Because I can't. I don't want to deal with an immature brat like you and your shitty idea of love." Levi passed Eren, slid open the door, and slammed it behind him.

Mikasa was sitting on a couch at the student lounge as she rubbed Eren's back, who was sitting next to her.

"Are you going to tell me why you're crying?" She asked soothingly. Eren just shook his head and continued sobbing into his lap. He wasn't sure why he was this shook up. He didn't cry at all when his dad had abandoned him, and he wasn't even sure he had cried this hard when his mom died. Slowly his sobs died down until silent tears rolled down his cheeks. Eventually he sat up, wiping away the wetness on his cheeks. He was upset with himself for crying over something that should be trivial. He was Eren Jaeger, and Eren Jaeger was not the type of guy to cry. He took a few deep breaths in order to calm himself, before he decided to tell Mikasa what happened. After he explained, Mikasa felt a mixture of emotions. Rage and perhaps jealousy, because the stupid teacher had kissed her Eren and led him on, relief because Levi had broken it off and wouldn't be bothering Eren anymore, and murderous because he made her beloved cry. Eren stared at her, wondering why her face was so contorted.

"So do you at least feel better now? Getting over someone is hard, but you'll come around." Mikasa said.

Eren pondered this for a moment. He was sad that Levi refused to accept him, but he had figured it out that it was most likely because of the scars that Levi had deep down. He also recognized the fact that Levi had a bad habit of coming off stronger than he means to when he is emotional, and ends up insulting and saying harsh things to other people. 'But even so...maybe Mikasa is right...I should just get over it. The whole thing was stupid anyway, how did I end up falling for him in the first place...? NO! This isn't like me! I have to get myself together. This is the first time I've ever felt like this...I shouldn't let it go. Eren Jaeger never gives up.'

"I...think I'll still try to pursue him. I have never felt like this in my entire life, and I don't want to give up yet." Eren turned decisively towards Mikasa, who had her mouth agape. Eren payed her expression no mind as he stood up to go visit their teacher. He was halfway across the room when the bell rang. 'Shiiiittt...' Eren had forgotten entirely about classes. There was no way he could go see Levi now. He would have to wait until fourth period. Eren began to walk quickly to his first period class, when he slowed his pace until he stopped. He then turned around to head upstairs to the roof. He didn't feel like going to class just then. When he arrived, he plopped his bag down on the middle of the flat roof, and he laid down next to it. He attempted to drift to sleep, but was restless, and settled for thinking instead.

'How did this even happen?' He questioned. He had went from being completely straight, and turned into someone who fell in love with a guy and shamelessly confessed after two days. But he couldn't stop thinking about Levi. The young teacher occupied his every thought, and when he tried to think of something else, it had always led him back to thinking about Levi. And there was nothing else that could cause his rapid heartbeat whenever the teacher was near. He even had erotic dreams of Levi. The more Eren laid there thinking, the more sure he felt about his feelings, and he knew that he had to persevere. He checked his watch to see that the warning bell for 4th period would ring 2 minutes later. He jumped up, his motivation strong. He grabbed his bag and ran down the stairs to reach his favorite teacher's classroom. He had 12 minutes to set things straight between the two of them. He reached the classroom door just as the warning bell rang, and he waited until all the students had filed out of that class before he took a deep breath and walked in.

Levi was turned away from him, wiping down the out-of-place chalkboard, not knowing that the student who had just walked in was Eren. Eren walked up and wrapped his arms around Levi's lean waist.

"Levi…" He whispered. Levi, having realized who was hugging him dropped the eraser and spun around, still in Eren's arms. Had he thought about his actions, he would've realized that turning around would bring him face to face with Eren. Their faces were so close that their noses were practically touching, and Eren could feel Levi's warm breath on his lips as he stared into surprised and yet resilient steel gray eyes.

"Eren...let go of me." Levi said, struggling to keep his voice at it's normal roughness.

"Levi…I can't. Maybe you can't see yourself being with me, but I can't see myself living without you. I'm not going to give up. Even if it's painful, for you or for me, I will stay strong." Eren took a deep breath before continuing. "If it takes you a while to accept me, that's fine. If it takes you a while before you can tell me what's hurting you, that's fine. If you hate me right now, I understand. But at least let me try. Giving up isn't in my nature."

Levi was shocked. His face probably didn't show a fraction of his amazement, but he was truly shocked. He didn't know what to say, and all he could do was stare into Eren's bright emerald eyes. He could see determination in the brilliant orbs, and he was sure that no matter what he said to the boy, Eren was here to stay.

"Okay. But let go of me. Class is starting in a couple minutes and people will see us like this. We can talk more about this after school when nobody is here." Levi said. Eren smirked, clearly not thinking clean thoughts before he turned his head around to see if anyone had been watching. Luckily, nobody had walked into the class yet. He smiled before leaning in and placing a gentle kiss on Levi's lips.

"I always get what I want. Always." He unwrapped his arms from around Levi's waist and sat down in his seat.

Seconds after he sat down, Mikasa walked in and plopped down in her chair silently. Little did Eren or Levi know, she had been watching their entire masquerade. She had walked into the classroom, but seeing the two clinging to each other, she ran back out and leaned against the doorway. First the stupid teacher seduced Eren into thinking he was in love with him, then after Eren had fallen for his antics, he had denied Eren's feelings, and now he was accepting them? This was the final straw. Levi was so dead. And she knew just the way to do it too.

Short, I know, don't kill me. At least it's something. Is it just me, or have all of the other Ereri/Riren fanfics been really slow lately? There are some really good ones out there, and all of them haven't updated recently! Anyways, in all of its shortness, I hope you like.
