"Eren!" Jean Kirschtein, a man with light brown hair and golden-brown eyes glared at Eren in a disappointed fashion, "What the hell do you think you're doing!? That man, Rivaille, don't you know he's a fucking star?" Jean emphasized the word 'star'.
The green eyed male's head shot up to meet Jean's, looking at him in an annoyed way. He was just about to speak up until Jean broke in.
"Our coffee shop's name and rank will get soiled if he says a single insult about us on an interview or something! What the hell were you thinking, pushing him against that wall and-!"
"Jean!" Christa tugged on the man's sleeve, a worried look on her face, "Please, don't be so harsh to him..." Her eyes descended to meet Eren's wide ones. "I don't think he meant it... I mean," she turned to look at everyone in the room, "I'm sure we would've all done the same thing."
"Oh," Ymir grinned wolfishly at Christa, tackling the girl into a hug, "Christa! You're such an angel!"
"I wouldn't." Jean boasted, his glare on Eren intensifying, "I would know how to control myself from doing anything rash."
"Shut up, Jean," Eren spat at him, standing up whilst wiping his apron, "you don't even know my history with that piece of-!"
Ymir gave Eren a nudge, "Come on, now, Eren! You know the regulations. We don't speak with dirty mouths here," her eyes narrowed to Eren and shifted over to Jean, "right...guys?" Her voice was suddenly sharp.
"Tch!" Jean scoffed, turning his back against all of the members in the room, "Whatever. I'm outta here." He coldly remarked before opening the staff room's door and closing it, going back to his regular duty.
Eren's face was scrunched up in annoyance and anger as he remembered the star's words, cringing further when he thought about going home and hearing his voice again. Not to mention Mikasa's room was filled with posters of him. Her room was like a shrine dedicated to him and him only. It slightly disgusted Eren, but then again, it was his sister. He'd have to live with it. The tanned male suddenly flinched when a chocolate bar was thrown at him.
"Here," Ymir threw it at his chest area, the chocolate bar landing perfectly on his lap with its name facing directly up to the ceiling, "your daily snack."
Eren threw her a look before looking at the chocolate bar, his eyes suddenly brightening in realization that it was his favorite childhood chocolate bar. "Titans!" He grinned at the yellow package on his lap before picking it up by its sides with both hands, placing it so that it was eye-level. He smiled as he remembered what Mikasa and his best friend, Armin Arlert would do once they'd gotten hold of the chocolate bar. "I'm gonna kill them all... kill all the titans!" He snarled at the chocolate bar before ripping its yellow package and chomping off the top of it.
Ymir rolled her eyes while Christa giggled.
"Oh," Eren swallowed the caramel filled piece down, a grateful smile on his face as he stared at Ymir, "thanks, by the way!"
"Welcome." She curtly replied, walking out the door, pulling the angelic blonde haired girl along with her to continue her work.
"E-Eren come out soon-!" Christa smiled as she was dragged before the door shut on her.
Eren only smiled.
It only took Eren Jaeger a few minutes to recollect himself and leave through the staff room door. He was still dwelling over the fact that Levi had called the shop shit though. It was probably because Eren loved his job and loved the people who surrounded him. Eren had been around long enough to know that everyone worked hard and tried their best when it came to doing their jobs around the place, and he admired that about them. He admired Hanji too, mostly because she was both the boss of the shop and at the same time, the chef. Hanji was always busy, and unlike most bosses, she preferred to be called by her first name instead of her last. She had told everyone to specifically call her 'Hanji' and that everyone should talk to her like she was their best friend. Hanji was a great person, but her little... experiments worried most of the workers.
Hanji had taken a liking to experimenting with small mice and such, even asking a few of the workers if she could experiment on them. They'd said no most of the time, but just once, Marco Bodt, a night-shift person, had said yes because she had told him that it could fix his bruises and wounds made by the rebellious Annie Leonhardt, another waitress like Ymir and Christa. Marco was currently in the hospital.
Eren shivered as he remembered those times when he had visited Marco in the hospital. There was that one time when he went hysterical, and that other time when he started to creep Eren out by saying: 'Never again' close to his ear. Eren brushed the eerie feelings off and walked over to his boss, who was cleaning up the strawberry shortcake whilst talking to the famous raven haired man. He twitched when he heard a few sentences mentioning his name. They were talking about him? He furrowed his eyebrows and walked faster.
"Hanji," He softly began, watching as the two heads turned to face him.
"Oh," Levi sighed, leaning on one hand with his elbow perched onto the table, "it's you again."
Brushing off the response which irked him more than it should, he bowed and began to apologize for his actions, "I'm sorry," he sheepishly replied, his ears slowly turning red along with his face from embarrassment, "I really shouldn't have done that."
Hanji blinked twice and pushed her glasses up before bursting out into a fit of laughter, "Don't say sorry to me, Eren!" She beamed up at the tanned male, "I don't really care about what you did," she slyly admitted, "I actually respect you for doing that, Eren. Good job," she smiled at him in a comforting way, "but really, you need to say sorry to Levi."
Eren's face flushed with crimson. He was beyond embarrassed now. He felt a small tinge of anger due to the fact that he had to say sorry to the man he hated the most on the world's surface, but he mostly felt embarrassment. He clenched his face to cover his attempt to hide his face in shame. Instead of running away, he did what he would usually do. Use his strongest and most dominating key feature, his courage.
Eren's green eyes stared into grey ones, the man's intimidating grey eyes somehow alluring Eren in a way he didn't want them to, "Sorry, Levi." He curtly said to the man, Levi's real name slipping through his lips.
Levi's eyes widened for a moment. Did he just call me..? He blinked twice, glaring at the teenager with a small, cocky smirk on his face, "It's Rivaille to you, Jaeger," he seemed to hiss Eren's last name before adding on, amusement clear in his eyes, "but Corporal is fine, too. You're in no place to call me Levi."
Eren would've flinched, but he felt that he had to show absolutely no signs of weakness to this man. "I don't see why I can't call you Levi." He scoffed as Hanji smiled, humming as she sat down in front of Levi, wanting to see what would unfold if she sat there long enough to make her presence invisible.
Levi's eyes narrowed at the other dark haired male, "Well, first of all," he shifted his position to make sure that he was facing him directly, "you are nothing close to me. You're nothing but a teenager going through hormones, and I am older than you, I'm sure of that."
Sea green eyes flickered in anger, "Then you shouldn't call me Eren."
"I don't," Levi's smirk widened, "I never have. Most likely never will." He responded with such absolution, with such certainty that he would never ever do such.
Eren scoffed, "We'll see about that..." He picked up the empty cup of coffee and set it on a nearby tray. He was about to turn around when he heard the raven-haired man speak up once more.
"Is that a challenge, I hear, Jaeger?" His voice was so smooth. It was almost like a butter being cut through by a knife, "Because if it is, I would gladly take someone like you on." He seemed to emphasize a few words.
Eren Jaeger looked back at him with a smirk, "Sure," he simply replied to the man before walking away. He could've sworn that he felt the raven's solid gaze on him as he walked to the kitchen to clean out the coffee cup.
"So," Hanji leaned on her hands for support, her eyes glinting mischievously behind her glasses, "you seem rather attracted to Eren." Her voice was teasing him, urging him to retort.
"Shitty glasses," Levi sighed, averting his eyes to the female in front of him, "that's where you're wrong. I'm just slightly irkedto see a damned teenager talk back to someone like me. Kids these days..."
Hanji smirked, "He isn't just a kid, Levi," her words seemed to have some kind of deeper meaning behind them.
Levi looked at her with suspicion.
Hanji noticed this and immediately brightened herself up, placing a wide grin on her face, "He's a hard worker! A very good hard worker!"
Levi rolled his eyes at her remark with a scoff, turning his head away from her.
Once he did, Hanji plastered on a knowing smirk on her face.
It was rare to have someone like Levi take interest to another man.
I'm so sorry this came a day late ;-; My parents shooed me off yesterday! Plus, it's kinda short, don't you think?
