When Eren woke up, he knew something was definitely very wrong with his room-mate. He hadn't even gone to get changed from what he could tell, he was still hiding inside his hoodie. Levi always went for a shower before Eren got up. Always.

Later on, both Levi's lecture and his had been cancelled due to some chemical leak and both classes were having to wait inside another lecture room to find out whether they'd be given any papers to read or whether they would have their lectures in some other room... Or whether they were just allowed to go. Eren stood near Armin, frowning at his room-mate across the room. Levi had his hood pulled over and was hunched into himself, hanging his head. He was leaning on the wall, watching his feet as he scuffed the bottom of his shoes on the floor. His ebony hair was concealing his face from view. He had his hands in his pockets and as far as Eren knew, he hadn't eaten or drunk anything at all that day apart from a bit of water. Eren twisted his mouth to the side, thinking about Levi as he looked over at the skinny male leaning on the wall by himself. Half of him wanted to go and ask him what was wrong but he knew that he would get no reply. After a while Levi glanced up to pull his hair further over his face and caught Eren watching him. He looked away and said nothing, pulling his hair down. He faced the floor again. Biting his lip, Eren watched. Sure Levi was always reserved and quiet, moody and alone, but this wasn't normal, he was obviously really troubled and upset by something – not that he would ever say he was. Itching to go over, Eren shifted his weight form foot to foot. He couldn't stand seeing Levi like this and after a couple of minutes, he couldn't just stand there anymore. He hurriedly rushed over to the ravenette and stood before him. Levi didn't look up.

"Levi...? Are you alright?" He asked quietly. There was silence. "Levi?" He asked again: still not reply. "Levi, are you ok-"

"Of course I am, go away Jaeger!" Levi snapped and glared up through his hair at the teen. Eren swallowed and flinched slightly at his tone but stood his ground.

"But you look upset..."

"I'm not upset for fucks sake, I'm never upset, just piss of Eren..." He growled and looked back down at his feet. Eren didn't know what he was meant to say. He sighed and hung his head. Since Levi had reached up to pull his hair further down, his sleeve had slipped down slightly and got caught on his pocket as he put his hand back inside it. Eren's eyes widened as he saw pale white scars on Levi's left forearm. They were obviously deliberate as they were in rows but they were jagged as he had obviously used his least dominant hand to create them... Levi was left handed. He didn't really think and reached out and snatched up the shorter male's hand. He looked down at them with shocked green eyes.

"Levi! Why did y-"

"Get off!" Levi ripped his arm away and shoved Eren hard. He fell to the ground and the room went silent as everyone turned to look. Levi pulled his sleeve down and stormed from the room, slamming the door behind him.

"Eren? A-are you ok?" Armin hurried over and offered Eren his shaking hand, his blue eyes wide with worry. Eren was too busy looking at the door in complete and utter shock.

"That guy is messed up in the head, bloody emo faggot..." Eren heard someone say to his friends from his right and his head snapped in that direction, eyes flashing dangerously.

"Oi!" He yelled into the silence. The teen turned to look at Eren. He had a brown undercut and a long face. He was tall. He smirked, looking down at Eren on the floor. "Shut it Jean!"

"Did your boyfriend just push you over?" He said loudly, watching with a smirk on his lips. Eren's face filled with colour and he shook with anger as he glared at Jean. Although he was making insults like a complete kid, Eren was incredibly angry and embarrassed.

"He's not my boyfriend! He's my room-mate, there's a big difference! You think you're so funny Jean, he's not messed up in the head and he's not a faggot! Take it back!" Ignoring Armin's hand, Eren scrambled to his feet and stood up in front of Jean, glaring up at him.

"Why so protective then Jaeger?" He tested and Eren swallowed, his eyes flashing. "Because he's my frie... room-mate!"

"So he's not even your friend?"

"H-he doesn't 'do friends, ok? He has had bad experiences, just lay off!" And with that, Eren stormed after Levi (making sure he gave the teen a hard shove before he did). Jean stumbled slightly but he didn't fall.

"Well, both aggressive, both messed up in the head... Both faggots. They're made for each other." Jean said. Armin glared at the tall brunette with fierce blue eyes. If he wasn't so weak he would have knocked Jean out. The way Jean was talking made him look like a 12 year old, not a 16 year old. It made him look really stupid.

"They are not messed up in the head Kirchstein, just shut up... And don't use such derogatory words, there's nothing wrong with being gay, calling someone gay isn't a damn insult." He grumbled and turned to go back towards Connie.

Levi wasn't in their room and Eren hurriedly searched the school for him. He checked the toilets, the canteen, their room again. He wouldn't be in another person's room, he preferred to be alone so would hardly go to anyone when he was upset. Images of Levi's scarred arm kept flashing before Eren's eyes and he shook his head as he searched from lecture room to lecture room, trying to forget what he saw. His raven haired room-mate was nowhere to be seen and Eren glanced at a clock in the last classroom he checked, his eyes wide with worry. He had a lecture in 2 minutes... but he felt that finding Levi was far more important right now. After what he saw, he didn't know what Levi could be doing right now and he had seemed in such a bad state, that Eren was scared. He hurried back to his and Levi's room and ran through the door. He hadn't locked it because he'd been in such a rush. He snatched up his red hoodie and shrugged it on before hurrying off (he locked the door this time).

Eren ran out of the college and out onto the street, looking right and left down the busy pavement. Where the hell would Levi be? He knew that the older male had a lecture that had started 10 minutes ago and it wasn't like Levi to not attend them. He speed walked through the streets, glancing around for the short dark figure that would be Levi. It was quite cold and Eren shivered, doing up his hoodie. He searched around for about an hour before slumping onto the grass on the edge of the park in defeat. He had no idea where Levi was. He hung his head, his messy brown hair covering his eyes. After a few more minutes he glanced up and looked across the park. Maybe Levi was back at college n- There! Eren caught sight of a figure sitting on the edge of a bench with his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands, his dark hooded head hung low. Eren scrambled to his feet, slipping in the mud slightly. He rushed across the damp, slippy grass as fast as his legs could carry him. He hoped and prayed that Levi wouldn't be too mad and upset at him for seeing his arm. Eren suddenly realised that those scars must have been the reason that Levi always wore sweat bands at the gym and always wore a hoodie and some sort of bracelt or band underneath. It was all becoming clear to him now...

"Levi!" He called out to the 19 year old and Levi stiffened, still glaring at his feet. He did not want to talk to that twat... But the twat kept calling him and running towards him. "Levi! I'm so so sorry, I-I wasn't thinking, I-"

"Shut it brat... Just leave me alone..." He grumbled. Eren sat himself down on the bench next to him and Levi edged away in annoyance, not wanting to be so close. "I said, go away!" He growled in frustration, looking in the opposite direction to Eren.

"Will you tell me what's wrong...?" Eren asked softly, quietly.

"Nothing is wrong!" Levi snapped.

"Well there obviously is something wrong, you've missed a lecture... You never do that."

"Stop acting like you know me Jaeger, we've only been sharing for 4 weeks, that doesn't mean you know me!" Levi got up to leave but Eren followed suit.

"I know you well enough to know that's something you don't do..." Starting to walk away, Levi stayed silent. Eren started to follow after him and Levi sped up, trying to get away.

"Piss off Eren!"

"I won't make fun of you, I promise!"

"I don't care, I'm not telling you!" Levi growled, desperately trying to be left alone.

"A ha!" Eren jumped in front of him and Levi bumped into him. "So there IS something wrong, you just said you won't tell me! Please tell me, I won't laugh!" Eren begged but Levi shoved him to the side harshly and Eren stumbled, his arm sore where he pushed him. He didn't fall but nearly did. He regained his balance and carried on following the moody male.

"EREN! PISS OFF!" Levi yelled and Eren swallowed. He stayed silent and walked behind Levi with his head hung, his chocolate coloured hair shielding his face from view. He wasn't going to leave him alone, he wanted to make sure that he was ok and would actually go back to college. So, he followed him...
