Welcome to Our Life

Chapter 13

I do not own Attack on Titan or any of the characters mentioned.

(Levi P.O.V.)
It has been a few days since I had told everyone about me. They accepted me no matter what happened in the past. I was very grateful. I have never met a group so caring and accepting. You know with the exception of Jean but he was okay once you got to know him.

Oh yeah, since Connie, Sasha, and Jean weren't there Sunday to hear my story Eren did me a favor and told them himself. They were a bit skeptical at first because they thought he was lying, so they came to me and asked for some confirmation. And yes I did tell them the truth. It felt nice to get it off my chest. The feeling of having the weight of the world on your shoulders is never a good time.

The entire group had become closer to me and I could practically tell them anything now. Well, not everything. I can't talk about 'it' to them especially Eren. You can't just tell the guy that you like that you have a crush on him, no, no, no that is not how it works. He's probably straight anyways.

Just thinking about Eren made my heart beat faster as I approached school. I reached into my pocket and pulled out some cigarettes. Yeah, I smoke what are you going to do about it? It's not like I smoke a pack a day. I just smoke when I get nervous. I lit the cig and took a long drag from it. I released the smoke from my mouth as I approached Erwin, Hanji, and Petra.

"Hey Levi." Erwin greeted.

"Hi."

"Levi, Levi, Levi! Guess what, guess what!" Hanji practically yelled as we walked to the doors.

"Jesus Christ, shitty-four eyes, what do you want."

She squealed loudly. I cringed at the noise. "The spring dance is coming up next week!"

"Yeah...and?"

"Are you going to ask Eren?"

I inhaled to much smoke and sputtered for a minute. "What! Why would I do that?"

Petra joined in the conversation. "Please, it's so obvious you have a crush on him."

"I don't."

"I fine bullshit, Levi, you look at him like he is a precious gem."

I walked ahead of them. I really did not want to talk about this. Especially at school. I went to math class where I sat next to Armin.

"Hi, Levi."

"Hey."

"Your in a bad mood aren't you?"

I laid my head on my desk with a groan of frustration. I hated life so fucking bad right now it isn't even funny. Literally, I want to shoot life in the face.

"Armin what is it when you're around someone and you all of a sudden feel nervous but yet at ease?"

"Is this about Eren?"

I banged my head on the desk. "How did you know about this?"

"I heard from a little birdie (ahem, Erwin) that you were having some love troubles."

I glanced at him. Armin would be the type of person to want to know the situation of the problem and help solve it.

"I am having troubles, I've never had a crush before and now all of a sudden I get these mixed up emotions and I don't know what to do with myself."

"I know how you feel." Armin said then looked out the window.

I picked my head up and off the desk. "What do you mean?"

"..."

"Erwin?"

"..."

I began to laugh hysterically. "Really? You like eyebrows?"

"You like Eren." His comeback shut me up and made me groan again.

"Look, Levi, Eren is the person you need to talk about this too. Besides, I'm pretty sure he likes you back."

"Eren's not straight?"

"Is that what you were worried about this entire time? If Eren was straight or not?" I nodded. It was true. I barely knew Eren, that includes his sexual preference. I wanted to ask him but I figured it best I leave that subject alone in fear of bringing up bad memories for the brat.

Armin smiled a huge smile then patted my shoulder. "You don't have to worry about a thing. Eren is about as straight as a curly fry; Sometimes he will throw glitter at us from his pockets and we won't even know where he got it."

I laughed more at this. Eren seemed to do a lot of crazy and hilarious things when I'm not looking.

"I have to see that sometime."

When lunch rolled around everyone sat in their usual spots, they were talking about the dance. Apparently, all of the girls were going dress shopping after school today before all of the good dresses were picked out.

Us men would go sometime later on in the week. I really didn't want to go. I'd rather stick to my band t-shirts and ripped jeans but no it a 'formal dance and you should dress like a gentleman' quoted by Erwin. He pissed me off so much sometimes.

I was still lost in my thoughts about how I was not looking forward to this stupid dance. I hate them because, guess what? I can't dance! I have two left feet. Don't get me wrong I'm not clumsy by any means necessary. I'm actually pretty swift, when I dance I always stumble because I hate doing steps that are very quick.

"Hey, Levi." Eren said getting my attention.

"Huh, what?"

"Lunch is over let's go outside."

I gathered my things and met up with Eren who was already half way down the hall. "How are you so fast?"

"I have long legs."

"Your lucky." I muttered as we made our way over to the sakura tree we usually sat under. Eren laid on the ground while I sat next to him with my knees pulled up to my chest.

There was a comfortable silence between us. Sometimes Eren was overly active and then other times he was chill. The reasons for this was because he had to take ADHD pills to calm down his hyperactive ass. I learned that from Connie who had brought up the subject after Eren's mood swing one day. The story went like this, Eren was just sitting calmly in his seat in third period (you know, the one where the teacher hates him), and then all of a sudden he jumps up from his seat and practically sashayed out of the class while yelling 'I'M NOT DOING THAT HOMEWORK.' The teacher was not at all happy with this.

I laughed quietly at the memory.

"What?" Eren asked and turned his attention towards me.

"I was just thinking about the time when your ADHD pills wore off." I wasn't going to lie to him. We had become so close that he could tell when I was lying, so I didn't bother to do so.

Eren grinned. "What brought on that memory?"

I felt my face heat up. "U-Uhm..." Curse me and my stuttering ass.

"Tell me."

"Well-"

The bell rang and I couldn't finish my sentence. I was grateful but yet slightly disappointed.

Eren hopped to his feet and helped me up. "We have to go to class." He said.

I followed him to the building taking note that he did not let go of my hand as we continued down the hall. We stopped in front of my classroom. I had begun to walk in but Eren grabbed my wrist.

"What's wrong?" I asked seeing his nervous expression.

"I was just wondering...if you know...god this is hard."

I leaned against the door frame. "You can tell me." I said.

He visibly relaxed. "Will you go to the dance with me?"

Wait, what?
