Eren reluctantly pulled himself out of bed due to the insane knocking and faint yelling. When he opens the door he finds Mikasa there.

“Eren you’re up we’ll be late for school- is that a hickey?” she asks, shock on her face.

“What? No!” Eren’s hand quickly went to cover the bruise on his neck.

“It is too, oh my god! Does that mean you and Levi-?” 

“Goodbye Mikasa” he said closing the door in her face. He showered and then put his school uniform on to find that it didn’t hide his hickey.

“You’re kidding me.” Eren groaned. Eren wrapped a scarf around his neck and put his bag on his shoulder. Grabbing an apple from the bench before he left.

“Bye Mum, Bye Dad!” Eren shouted back into the house. He heard faint goodbyes from his parents before he closed the door. Mikasa was waiting in the car. Eren got in and Mikasa drove off.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Eren said to Mikasa.

“I’m not looking at you like anything.”

“Yes you are, you’re smirking.”

“Am I not allowed to be happy for my little brother?” She asked

“What are you happy about?”

“You’ve got a boyfriend, I mean that’s pretty good.”

“Levi’s not my boyfriend.”

“What is he then?”

“I don’t know.” Eren told her. But even still Mikasa was smiling. “Stop that right now. And don’t tell anyone.”

“Okay, Okay I won’t I promise.”

Eren was sitting in History, book open ready to start when the teacher walked in.

“Mr Jaeger, scarves are not part of the school uniform please remove it.”

“But, I’m cold.” Eren pleaded getting flustered.

“Well maybe it’s time to invest in a jumper then Mr Jaeger,” The teacher said to Eren, who was not wearing a jumper over his school shirt. Eren sighed and took off his scarf, suddenly feeling very self-conscious. The teacher then turned to the board and begun to write up notes. Marco leaned over to him.
“Who gave you the hickey?” he whispered.

“No one, it’s not a hickey.”

“Hmm okay, I’m not an idiot Eren” he chuckled.

“It’s not a hickey.”

“Is that a-?” Eren sat down at the table at lunch and let out a loud groan.

“I swear to god if you ask if it’s a hickey I will kill you.” Armin giggled.

“Sorry, I won’t, I won’t” Eren looked at the group who were all smiling at him.

“Stop.” Just at that moment Eren’s phone buzzed.

Meet me outside 201 – Levi

“I’ve got to go, I’ll be back before the end of lunch.” Eren said getting up and walking to where Levi had told him to go. Levi was resting against the doorway.

“Hey.” Levi took one look at the boy and smirked.

“This is your fault you know.” Eren said gesturing to the bruise on his neck. Levi just laughed.
