Talking and Thinking

Jaeger followed me around the entire day. Seriously, the entire day. It was cute but also annoying as hell. A long series of questions was always coming from his mouth.

"So how long have you lived here?"

"What's this school like?"

"Do you have any other friends?"

"Why aren't you answering my questions?"

I had to deal with that the ENTIRE day. I was prepared to go straight home that afternoon and just crash.

"Levi, you want to go to the library after school? I need help catching up on schoolwork and seeing what I know." Eren was smiling wide as we were walking to the bus. He must ride it. Great.

"As nice as that sounds I want to sleep. So no." I pushed ahead of the line of people and was the first on the bus. I quickly made my way to the back of the bus where my usual seat was. A forceful flash of hope shot through me, wanting Jaeger boy to not follow me back but much to my disappointment he did just that.

"You know, Levi, sleeping during daylight hours wrecks havoc on your sleep schedule. You should come to the library with me." Eren pressed on, setting his bookbag in his lap and a wide smile danced on his lips. Was this kid always smiling? And who says I wanted his shitty medical advice?

"Two words Jaeger: fuck off. I will tear my already shitty sleep schedule down even more if I fucking want to. So if you would kindly move over to the empty seat beside us or else I'll kick your ass over there." A wicked glare emitted from my face but it seemed to bounce off some layer of sunshine this kid was cocooned in. Like what is up with that? I could see the rainbow shield surrounding him. It was quite disturbing.

"Now don't be so grumpy Levi." Eren gave more of a toned down shy smile instead. "I guess it was the doctor side of me that just kicked in."

Now that kinda perked some kind of curiosity from me. "Your doctor side?" I arched an eyebrow, glancing at him from my peripheral vision.

"Yeah. My father is a doctor and my mother is a scientist. So I know a thing or two. Although Mikasa knew a hell of a lot more than I ever will." At the last part his look saddened.

"Okay, now you look like someone kicked your puppy." I scoffed at him, become irritated as the bus got louder and louder. It took at least fifteen minutes to get to the first drop off stop and I'm the last to he dropped off. So this sucks ass more than people will ever know.

"It's nothing." He shrugged. "You're stuck on this bus pretty long aren't you? Which stop are you?"

Our bus that four stops: Acorn Centre, Lilac Grove, Willow Creek, and my stop Hudson. I live in the "rich kid neighborhood". Considering that ninety-percent of the houses are over a million dollar price range it's okay to call it a "rich kid neighborhood".

"The last stop. Hudson."

Eren brightened back up. "Me too! You must be pretty wealthy to live there."

"And so must you, brat." I droned, a heavy bored tone to my voice. And I truly was bored. This kid just went on and on about the smallest and most idiotic things. But he is new to America. Fresh off the....the plane? German boy. His accent wasn't very heavy though. Unlike me. Apparently my mother was a fresh French beauty and many times the accent that has been DNA'd into me will come out as if I was from the country itself. "Quick question brat: how come your accent isn't thick? I mean, you're fresh off the boat German."

"Oh, well, only my father is German. My mother is full-blooded American. My mom had to move to Germany for her job and met my father there. She lived there up until now when she had to be transferred back to America. So as much as I've grown up around the German accent I also have a heavy American influence." He thought for a moment. "How come you sound French sometimes? When we talk every once in a while it'll come out and the disappear?"

"It's presumably from my mother. She was a full-blood French woman. So it's in my genes." I stopped after that much information and gave a silence that indicated that I will say no more on the subject. It was none of this brat's business of my past or of my life.

For up until we got to Willow Creek Eren was quiet. But Willow Creek had the library at it and once again the brat brought up the subject of going.

"Levi please come with me?" The sophomore practically begged. "I need help with the work and you can help me! Please? I'm begging you!"

After about five more minutes of his insistent begging and nagging I slapped my hand over his filthy mouth. "If I say yes will you finally shut the fuck up?" I said in a dangerously low tone. Eren gave a quick nod and I moved my hand away. "Now just he quiet until we get to the bus stop for Willow Creek will you?" Another nod was given and I pulled out a small bottle of hand sanitizer from my bag and sanitized my hands. I had to after touching that brat's mouth. And I'll need it since I'm going to a PUBLIC library.

Public = germs galore! No thank you!

And much to my surprise Eren stayed quiet. Even as we filed off the bus and walked down the street to the library he was still quiet. Taking this quite seriously I see. I relished in the silence since I see that it might be the only silence I will have for the next few hours. Even at a quiet library I know this brat will talk. A lot. Talk a lot.

SWITCH TO EREN's POV!

I stayed quiet the entire time Levi and I walked to the library. The walk itself is about twenty minutes but I didn't mind the silence. For as much as I love to talk I also love silence!

Levi. He's quite the character isn't he? Very cold and distant but I can tell there's more underneath that layer of sarcasm and snark. I've known him for only a day but I've pretty much relied on him the entire time. Considering we have the same classes its easy to rely on him to help me through the day and now I am for tutoring. Well, not really tutoring. More like "catching up" but I don't really need it. I looked over all the course material I missed and I know it all very well.

All I really wanted was an excuse to hand out with the older but shorted teenager. I wanted to build a friendship with him. Even though he's the outcast of the entire school I still wanted to. I never cared if someone was outcasted, I'd still make friends with them. And Levi was no exception.

I did it! I finally updated this story at almost 4am! 4y3333! (Homestuck has me like). Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I made it slightly longer just as a treat. My plan for this story is to slowly build their relationship. Have them slowly get to know each other. I think that's the best way to go!

Oh and I just posted a new story! So if you like Black Butler and Sebaciel go check it out! Or not! Your choice!

Love you all!
