Alone with me-Eremin

Tutoring

Eren and I sat down at his desk and pulled out our books. As soon as we sat down our knees started to brush up against each other. I found it extremely weird how attractive I found him and how much the simple brushes of his knee against mine affected me.

I had to keep reminding myself what Connie said, he's straight. There's no way I had any chance with him, so I had to stop any feelings from forming at all. Eren had finally finished pulling all his books and notes out and looked over at me for some direction.

"So, what exactly do you need help with?" He laughed and put his head down on his desk. He turned his head so he could still look up at me.

"I literally don't even know where to start. That is why you are here, you can tell me what I need help with."

He was still smiling up at me and giving me puppy eyes. I broke eye contact with him. I don't think I could manage to look at him like that any longer.

"Can I see your past assignments and tests? If you just pull them up on your laptop I can look them over and see exactly what you are struggling with."

"Have you ever skated Armin?" I looked over at him confused. Why was he asking me about skating?

"Uh, no I haven't, it's not really my thing. Now can you pull up the stuff on your laptop. The sooner I look over it, the sooner we can start. Actually how long do you want these sessions to be? We never discussed that."

"I don't care. Jean will be gone all night cause of his date, so it can go on however long you want."

I don't think Eren understands how flirty he actually sounds. Or I am just taking it the completely wrong way. Who knows? Eren finally pulled up his grades on his laptop and it shocked me to say the least.

Eren had an A in every single class except math. In math he had a very high C too. He got one bad grade on a test and it went down from an A to a C. Luckily he was able to retake the test and it was over something I understood very well.

"Well Eren, looks like we only have to go over this one subject and if you retake last week's test and this week's test, you'll get your grade back up."

"Do you think my grade will be up by this Friday?" He looked really worried.

"Probably? Why does it matter so much if it's up by then? It will be up by next week for sure." He sighed and put his head back down on the desk mumbling. "What?"

"I have to have my grade up by this Friday because it's my fathers biweekly grade check. I can't have anything lower than a B, even that is too low for him."

Grisha Jaeger being an abusive piece of shit did not surprise me. Eren didn't have to say that either for me to know. The look on his face gave everything away. The sadness and fear in his eyes, the way that even mentioning his father made his face all dull. I've only known Eren for a few hours, but even a blind person could sense the change in mood.

"I'm sure you could talk to Professor Smith and then he could make sure to get everything and graded by Friday then. How about today we study for 2 hours and tomorrow morning we can study for an hour? That should be enough time to get you prepared for the retake and this week's test."

"That's perfect, thank you so much Armin. You are a lifesaver." His eyes went back to normal. No longer dull at the mention of his father.

"There is just one small problem with tomorrow morning."

"We can do it tomorrow afternoon if that works better?"

"I actually have an afternoon class and I also promised Sasha that I would go over and meet her new dog. So, the only time I can do it is in the morning, but I work my shift at the library in the morning. We would have to have it there."
