The Wolf and The Bat

Bathroom Confrontation

Monday came around and Eren was pretty much counting down the days till his birthday. Seventeen more days. He was excited, but nervous. And when he saw Levi, he became excited all over again. He sat next to the werewolf with a wide smile on his face.

"Hey Levi. How was your weekend?" He asked. Levi looked at him and Eren saw bags under his eyes. Levi looked aweful and didn't say a damn thing. "I see." Eren frowned a little. He looked at Levi's hand that was just resting on the table and he wanted to grab it, but he wasn't sure if he should, making any happiness on his face completely fall off.

Levi noticed the drop in Eren's mood instantly, and grabbed the brat's hand. Eren smiled and hummed contently as he squeezed Levi's hand. Levi was feeling a little better about mating season, but he wished he was able to spend with Eren. Levi felt bad for not going to the club Friday to support Eren, but Levi was going to use anytime he could to school his instincts so that on Eren's birthday, they could spend it how Eren wanted, without Levi constantly on edge.

Vix walked in and started to write on the board.

"Alright, we're going to be doing something a little different this time. Instead of doing a mythical creature, we're actually going to go into a country's mythology. China's in this case. We'll be going over the Shijin. I'll tell you the Chinese AND Japanese names as we go through. So let's start with the black turtle, Xuan Wu, or in Japanese, Genbu." And she began to talk about the northern Chinese spiritual guardian.

"Next class, We'll be talking about Baihu, or Byakko, the white Tiger of the west." And the class was dismissed. Eren walked with Levi.

"So, what do we want to do?" Eren asked. He saw the flash in Levi's eyes and sighed. "You're going to continue to avoid spending time with me, aren't you?" Levi sighed as he turned to his vampire boyfriend.

"Eren." The vampire held up a hand.

"I get it Levi. This is hard on you, and I don't want to push you into something. But I would like to be able to spend time together sometime this week." And after kissing Levi on the cheek, Eren walked away. And Levi just watched. He was hoping that watching Eren walk away right now, would be worth it later. Because seeing the brat's back walking away from him so sadly, destroyed the werewolf's heart.

"I love you Eren, believe me." And he went to his dorm room. He'd make sure that they'd spend time together this week. Levi just hoped that it wouldn't back track all the work he's done on his instincts.

Wednesday came and went, Friday bringing Vix to talk about Qinglong, or Seriyuu, the green/blue dragon of the east. Eren was at the club again, and there was no Levi, again. Eren was beginning to get angry. He never realized how much he actually NEEDED Levi to make him happy, or feel alive. When he returned to his dorm room, he looked at his calander. Thirteen more days. Almost two weeks.

Monday came the discussion on Zhuque, or Suzaku, the red pheonix of the south.

"Wednesday will be a test on the four Shijin, and then we'll begin the section on chimeras and manticores on Friday." Eren would have been excited about the next section, but his current situation with Levi was more important at the moment. When they left the room, Eren didn't say anything, neither did Levi. It was weird, and they both hated the strain.

"I'll see you Wednesday, Brat." Levi said after planting a kiss on Eren's cheek. "Take care of yourself." And the werewolf walked away. Eren frowned, but then smirked darkly. He had an idea. And if anyone found out... he was as good as dead.

Wednesday came quick enough, and Levi noticed Eren was a little antsy. The werewolf wasn't quiet sure why. He looked at Eren's eyes, and they were green, nothing flickered. It made Levi uncomfortable, wondering what was wrong with his boyfriend. After class and the test, they walked as usual down the hall.
