AOT Strutter

A day out

Two days later, Eren was cleaning up from the lunch rush. He hadn't seen Levi since coming back from the bike ride. Well, aside from through a lot of people as he sang on the stage. Levi was around, he was just avoiding Eren. The teen sighed. What was he going to do? He really was being to fall for the guy.

"Hey, hot stuff, have time to eat with a couple of lonely ladies?" a voice called out. Eren chuckled.

"You do know Armin's a guy, right?" Eren laughed as he hugged his best friend.

"Yes!" Historia chuckled.

"Where are the other two?" Eren asked looking for Ymir and Krista.

"Couples retreat, or so they called it. I got bored went to pick him up and we decided to come get you." She offered slipping her arm through his.

"So, you have a car?" Eren asked.

"Yeah, why?" Historia asked.

"Feeling a little trapped?" Armin guessed.

"Let me go see either I can take a few hours..." Eren began.

"Just be back in time for your show tonight." Erwin called from a nearby table. He was reading over some reports while sipping his coffee.

"OK!" Eren tossed the apron down.

Levi's head poked up from behind the bar, but Eren didn't see it. He was laughing at what Armin's saying. The walked out to the purple Chevy sitting in the parking lot. Armin climbed in the back as Historia tossed Eren the keys. This was typical of them, even though Eren didn't have a license.

"How are things going?" Historia asked from the passenger seat.

Eren drove up over the hill. There were some cars around him, but it wasn't that busy. He snorted. Then proceeded to tell them all about his encounter with Levi the day they went for a ride.

"Wow, he sounds a bit dangerous." Historia offered, glancing back to Armin.

"Eren, you know I trust your judgment, but uh, well maybe you should forget about him." Armin offered.

"Easier said than done." Eren huffed.

He pulled into a parking lot for a local outdoor mall. It was pretty busy. They drove around the lot looking for a place to park. Eren saw the motorcycles. He swore the one in the center of the three bikes looked like Levi's. Then again, didn't most look alike. As he was thinking this, a car began to back out.

Eren turned down the row to get the parking space. He waited as the driver adjusted from reverse to forward. An SUV came up on the cars other side. The blond driver, of the car, looked like they could be a girl, but their jawline was a lot firmer than most women Eren saw. He was sure the SUV was going to try and take the parking space.

The driver that backed out, caught Eren's eye in the mirror. They pointed to the spot then gave him a thumbs up. Eren nodded, waving to them. The car inched forward. The SUV on the opposite side tried to turn in, but there wasn't enough room as the driver leaving the space had gone out a bit wide. A few more inches and Eren was clear. Twisting the steering wheel, he pulled easily into the spot.

The driver of the SUV laid on their horn. The one backing out waved to Eren as they drove away. Historia got out of the car. She completely ignored the honking car. The driver rolled the window down.

"MOVE YOUR CAR! I WAS WAITING FOR THAT SPOT! ITS MINE!" The driver yelled.

"Doesn't look like it." Eren waved dropping his arm around Historia's shoulders.

The driver laid on the horn, following the teenagers as they made their way toward the line of stores. The driver was shouting and swearing at them, but the teenagers ignored it.
