Music To My Ears - Riren AU

Chapter 5

Though the hug was not just also to comfort Eren, it was also used as a shield so then Eren could not see that one visible tear coming down on his face that made a mark on Eren's shirt.

Levi had to go home after a few hours at Eren's place. His eyes a little puffy, and a brain that was not willing to function anymore for the day, so once he got home, he did a little cat-nap on his couch. Once after his minuscule slumber, he had nothing else to do but watch TV to get his mind to off Eren and to recover if he wanted to do any practice that night. He watched the night away until he thought that his brain was rested enough, and soon started to walk to the piano. He did his regular warm-up scales, and arpeggios. C major, C minor, D major, D minor, and so on. He went to practice the piece that he played earlier when Eren was crying, but his hands remained stiff and reluctant to move anywhere. Ounce by ounce the worry started the seep in. Levi didn't know what caused this to happen. It was complicated because Levi loved this piece, but he also loathed it, as it would remind him of his dark past, and that past was sealed with his scar just behind his right ear. If he were to explain his relationship to the piece to someone, it would have gone two ways. The honest way, or the dishonest way.

The dishonest way would just be 'Oh I loved this piece and I had a fun time learning it.'

The honest way would be 'I'm in a love-hate relationship with this piece.'

He wasn't going to college the next day.

The bell sung out to the whole of the music college to signify that classes were starting and Eren looked at his timetable.

Science.

Eren thought science was a mediocre subject, but it was much more fun when you have a funny and crazy science teacher who is called by Miss Hanji Zoë, and you have your best friend to sit next to, and that was Armin. Eren was pretty sure that Levi was in this class too, but Miss Hanji marked Levi absent. The little blond coconut was like the next Albert Einstein. He'd ace all his academic subjects for any of his term report cards and had always had the highest GPA leaving him to always be on the recognition list for the most high-achieving students and of course, at the end of each year, he would have no problems aiming for the grand prize at the end called the 'Dux of the School', and that prize just so happens to mean the smartest in the whole school. Although there was one thing that separated Armin from Einstein - Armin didn't fail grade one.

"OK CLASS LET US TAKE ATTENDANCE!" Miss Hanji shouted.

She always had a enthusiastic energy attached to her as if she had unlimited energy. She was always having a good time and she always made everyone enjoy the science classes and most of all, she was so spontaneous. The science class always got to do science experiments. If Miss Hanji had one thing to pick that she likes about science, it would either be chemical explosions, or dissections. Armin could never stand dissections, all the blood would tremble in his arms and he would run away screaming like a girl, which always cracked Eren up.

Once she had finished doing roll call, we had to take down some notes about what was inside the atom and the periodic table. After 45 minutes of note taking, the school bell rung just in time.

"Miss Hanji never ceases to impress me." Armin commented and giggled.

"I know right." Eren replied with a soft smile.

The day went surprisingly fast for Eren. He stopped by to greet Mikasa at her locker.

"Hey Mika! What's for dinner?" Eren asked.

"Ahh... Some penne pasta with bolognese sauce and meatballs." She said while packing her violin.

"Ooh! Sounds yummy! I'll see you when I get home!"

Mikasa returned a soft and warm smile to Eren. Mikasa was literally the best cook in the whole world. Ever since Karla died, nobody was able to cook as well as her until she came along. Karla started to teach Mikasa ever since Eren's family took her in after both her parents were brutally murdered, so technically, Mikasa was Eren's adoptive sister.

Eren finished packing his music sheets into his bag and started to head to the supermarket with Mikasa to buy some groceries, and Mikasa asked,

"So, you and Levi huh?"

"Heyyy!" Eren whined. "It's not like that! We're just friends!"

"Eren, don't think you can lie to me! I've known you were gay since grade 9! I know you better than you think." Mikasa countered.

That made Eren blush a deep red and actually think about the thought.

Do I actually like Levi?

| Sorry if there was hardly any Levi in this chapter!

  ☺︎ 

Do not fret, there is more coming soon *smirk*

ありがとう (Arigatou) for the first few readers that have read this! ☺︎

I made Mikasa different instead of being overprotective and just be nice to Eren because I

can't stand an angry Mikasa in some fanfics. ;-; |

Hope you enjoyed Sama clan!
