Eren spent the day with Armin, Connie, Sasha and Mikasa. They all had to disappear at different times to go to classes and in the evening, Eren was left alone with Mikasa when the others had a lecture. Eren went with her to fetch her room key, she was going to be room sharing with a girl named Annie. Eren had seen the blonde girl around occasionally and she had seemed very moody and solitary, sort of like Levi, but unlike him she seemed to be only out for herself and was quite mean. Although, Levi could be mean too... They were different though and Eren wasn't sure if he really liked Annie. Her room was number 42 so she was a few corridors away from Eren. They headed up the wooden stairs and through the corridors. Eren led the way and showed her to her room. Mikasa knocked and there was a grumble of reply. So Annie was in there. Mikasa pushed open the door and poked her head round.

"Hello?" There was no reply, she just saw a very moody looking blonde girl sitting on her bed on her laptop. There was a punching bag tied to the back of the door and Mikasa raised en eyebrow. "Hi, I'm Mikasa Jaeger, you must be Annie?"

"Hi..." Annie mumbled, glancing up at the girl but then looked back down at her screen. Mikasa looked back at Eren who shrugged. Mikasa took a step into the room and put her bags down on her bed. Her suitcase hadn't been brought up like everyone else's had at the start of the year because she was the only person joining today.

"I'll er... Leave you guys to it." Eren said and Mikasa glared slightly at him. Eren smirked and shrugged. "We both have moody room-mates, only difference is, mine's hot." Eren mouthed. Mikasa rolled her eyes and he smirked again before he closed the door, leaving Annie and Mikasa alone.

Eren headed back to his and Levi's room and knocked before walking inside. "Hiya Levi, thank you so much for the money earlier, I'll pay you back." Eren said as he closed the door.

"It's fine, you don't need to..." Levi grumbled. He was just lying on his bed, facing the ceiling with his knees up.

"Are you ok? What have you been doing today? You only had one lecture." Eren asked, sitting opposite Levi on his own bed.

"Nothing, just stayed in here..." That was no surprise to Eren and he sighed, twisting his lips to the side.

"Were you not lonely?"

"No... I'm never lonely." Levi murmured.

"We both know that's not true Levi..." Eren said as he edged backwards on his bed and sat leaning on the wall, hugging his knees. "Have you got any lectures or classes tomorrow?"

"No, why do you care..." Levi muttered, still not looking away from the ceiling.

"Great! Because I don't either." Eren watched Levi closely. "My sister Mikasa, Armin, Connie, Sasha and I are all going to town tomorrow because we are all in the same classes mostly and have none and Mikasa starts hers on Monday. Tomorrow is Thursday so would you like to come with us? Armin has to leave a bit early 'cause he has a class but otherwise we'll all be there." Eren already knew the answer, but wanted to keep trying. He wanted Levi to feel he had people that actually cared about him.

"No..." Levi grumbled and put his knees down, rolling over so that his back was to Eren. He glared at the wall. Eren stared at Levi's skinny but fine arse.

"But it would be fun! You could meet my friends and you might get along with them. You could meet Mikasa!"

"I don't do friends Eren, you know that you brat..." He grumbled moodily, glaring at his pillow that had a couple of blood smudges on it which irritated him. Yuck. Dirty.

"Won't you do it for me...?" Eren asked cutely and sadly, pressing his nose into his knees, trying to look pleading and cute in case Levi turned around.

"...No." Levi said firmly but he noted how adorable Eren's voice sounded. Eren sniffed and Levi frowned. He heard Eren sniffing and glanced over his shoulder to see him hiding his face in his knees. "Are you crying?" There was no reply but Eren kept sniffling even though there was nothing to sniff and his eyes were bone dry. He hoped Levi would believe him. "Eren, I'm sorry but I don't want to, you're such a sop, God..." He rolled back over and glowered hard at the wall. He didn't know whether Eren was actually crying or not but either way, it made him feel guilty.

"I just want you to be happy..." The brunette mumbled sadly, and the sadness in his voice was real even if the crying was not. "I really like you Levi..." He blushed into his knees. Levi's face went hot and he screwed his eyes up, not turning over or making a noise. He was doing it again, making him feel guilty, he still hated the way Eren made him feel... But Eren seemed so open about it. He hoped that Eren wasn't just making fun of him, but after everything they'd been through he highly doubted that that would be the case, he wouldn't make fun of him, he was nice. "Levi please will you? How about we go to town together, just you and me if you don't want them there, I am meeting them at 11, we can go out earlier if you want and you can come back here, you don't have to be with them..." Eren offered quietly, crossing his fingers. He screwed up his eyes, his heart thumping as he waited for a reply. Levi's own heart was pounding loudly and he didn't know what to say or do. Eren was obviously really desperate for him to get out of this place tomorrow... But being with him would be so awkward, and Levi was terrified that he would get closer to him and care about him... He didn't want a photo of Eren to be in that drawer with his other picture so that he could cry about being to blame about getting another friend killed... "Sorry Eren, it's a no..." He whispered and Eren let out a sigh, opening his eyes. Glancing over his knees at Levi, he wondered whether this was the friend business again with Isabel and Farlan.

"Levi, nothing will happen to me. I promise..."

"You don't know that Eren!" Levi said, a slight whine in his voice.

"I won't let anything happen to me, I'll be really careful, I swear!" Eren promised, chewing his lip.

"That doesn't mean something won't happen..."

"Levi, you can't live your life thinking that something will happen to someone as soon as you call them a friend or go somewhere with them, I have been friends with Armin for 4 years and nothing has happened to either of us. I've been friends with Connie and Sasha for 3 years and nothing has happened... and I've been Mikasa's brother for 6 years and nothing bad has happened. It will be fine."

"Something bad could still happen today, or tomorrow, next week, a few years. It will still happen." Levi's voice was quiet and forlorn.

"Well... To get anywhere in life you need to take that chance, you should know better than anyone that you have to be reckless sometimes and you have to take chances."

"Eren, I've always known that when faced with a choice you don't know which one will be right and which will be wrong, you just have to do it and if afterwards you regret it, then that's it, you can't change it... I made the wrong choice back then. I chose to continue to argue with Farlan the day he and Isabel died, I could have given in and walked away but I didn't and he drove off angrily with her. If I hadn't done that, he wouldn't have driven s recklessly and they would both still be alive... It's my fault and I don't want to make the wrong choice again. I just don't want to risk it." Eren got up and sat down on the edge of Levi's bed, looking down at his back.

"Levi, that wasn't your fault, you didn't know what would happen, you couldn't have possibly known... And... You don't know what will or won't happen now. Say you did come with me, I could be fine and you could be fine... But if you say no, I could choose to walk a different way and get hit by a car or someth-" Levi stiffened at that.

"Eren, stop!" He cried out. His heart was pounding in fear. How could he say no now? If he said no, that could happen, but if he said yes, something else could happen. Eren felt a lump in his throat and he immediately regretted what he said after he realised how badly that could affect Levi not just now, but forever. He would be paranoid about every tiny decision now, even whether to leave a minute or even a second early or late for something.

"L-Levi, I just meant you... that... I didn't mean it like that, you can't worry about every choice you make in your life or you literally will get nowhere! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you!" He stammered, not knowing what to do. He put a shaking hand on Levi's shoulder but it was immediately slapped off.

"Eren, go away! Now!" He yelled and Eren felt tears prickle his eyes. This time, it was real ones. Oh well done Eren, you've really fucked up now. Why did you fucking say that? You idiot! He obediently got up and left the room without another word, leaving Levi alone. He slid down the other side of the door onto the floor and put his face in his hands. What had he done? This could go one of 2 ways... Levi could think about everything and realise what Eren actually meant and give chance a try, or... He could be too terrified to move or do anything ever again, too scared to make any sort of choice again, not even a tiny one like getting up at a certain time or saying a word to anyone. He could have literally ruined Levi's life forever...

(A/N:) Thanks for reading! I may upload another chapter tonight, I might not... I might leave you in suspense 'cause I'm mean like that ;). Has he ruined Levi's life or will it all be ok...? Hope you are enjoying, find out what happens in the next chapter!
