Inseparable At Heart

Chapter 1

Eren's POV:
The dorm I was assigned is fairly big. It has two double beds, two wardrobes, two dressing tables, a bathroom with all of the necessities, a kitchen and a dining room with a four-seater table.
Okay, the dorm was massive and I loved it but I didn't even know who I was sharing it with. Some girl called Jean Kirschtein. I wonder if she's good looking?
I start unpacking when I hear a knock on the door before it opens.
"Hello?"
A male voice. Who the hell is that?
"I'm in the bedroom." I reply with. I hear the door close and the sound of footsteps along with the sound of bags hitting one another. Click! Clack! Bang! Thud! In a matter of seconds a male figure is standing in the doorway.
" Hi, I'm Jean Kirschtein, your roommate? You must be Eren Jäeger?" I snigger at the thought of him being a girl.
"What's so funny?"
Crap! "Ummm. I thought you were gonna be a girl. Sorry!" I blurt out and mentally face-palm myself.
"You thought I was a girl? Jeez! Why the hell would you think that?"
"Ummm... Because..."
Because... Crap! I need to think of an excuse quick!
"Because I have a sister called Jean in Germany..." I lie. She's actually called Mikasa.
"Well as you can see, I'm clearly a boy." He states.
"No shit horse-face." I reply, frustrated by his attitude.
"What did you just call me? Don't you ever call me that again."
"Don't talk to me and I won't have to." (😮) I come back.
He sighs and walks over to his bed and starts unpacking.

By the time I've finished unpacking, my first lesson starts in 15 minutes. Physics with Mr.Smith in D block. At the moment I'm in block A, along with the other dorms so according to my map, D block is in the other side of the campus! I glance at my watch. Crap! 10 minutes - I'm going to have to take my bike! I leap down the stairs three at a time and slam the doors open. I'm running to the back shelter when I hear a familiar voice shout over to me - "Run like the wind Jäeger!" I scowl at him before replying with. "Isn't that from Toy Story? You know, I heard Bullseye was visiting a relative going by the name Jean, guess that must be you horse-face!" I mentally scold myself for coming up with such a stupid comeback but as I glance back at him I see that his face is red with rage. I inwardly laugh about how easy it is to wind him up before grabbing my bike from the shelter and cycling towards next lesson.
~~~
"Eren, you were almost late for your first lesson." Mr. Smith reprimands.
"Apologies sir, I got held back whilst unpacking."
"It's fine kid. Go find a seat and open your book to page 62."
My eyes land on the only seat available. On the end of a row next to some ravenette guy. He gives me a long cold stare with his gunmetal grey eyes before glancing to the front of the classroom. As I make my way to my seat, I find a group of girls gawking at me. I hide my blush with my bangs before plonking down in my seat and opening my book to page 62. The title reads 'Static Electricity'. I skim the double pages for a few seconds before Mr.Smith speaks up.
"Hi I'm Mr. Smith but you can call me Erwin. I graduated from Trost College last year and I requested a job here as a teacher. Unfortunately the only open space was physics so here I am. Some of you who came for induction day last year might know me already but if not then you know me now!" He chuckles before carrying on with the lesson.
"Now, most of you wont know one another in this classroom so I'd like it if we go around the classroom, say our name and a fact about yourself ."
He smiles before motioning to a red haired girl who takes a deep breath before saying her small speech. "Hi! I'm Sasha! I like to buy food, cook food and eat food!"
Finally it gets to the ravenette beside me. "You are not considered close to me so you may only address me as Rivaille. Once I can trust you, you may know my real name and a legitimate fact about me. All you may know now is that I have trust issues. (Anniexoxo_ ) I have trusted people in the past and it worked out shitty for them. I'm done." A few people cast him glares but he stares them down. Damn, this kid it hard core. I wonder what happened to the people he trusted? I mean, it's not like they died. (😉) I awaken from my deep thinking after realising that it's my turn.
"Umm. My name's Eren and I like swimming and modern dancing." I finish with a shrug of my shoulders as class continues with half-assed conversations about static electricity.

I'm in my room reading when horse-face walks in.
"Hey horse-face." I greet.
"Don't call me that Titan-boy."
"Titan-boy? Where the actual fuck did you get that from?"
"Doesn't matter but it has a nice ring to it don't you think?"
"Not as good as horse-face but if you say so."
I continue reading before something crosses my mind.
"Hey Jean."
"Yes Eren?"
"Who's making dinner? I know carrots, dried grass and what not would be sufficient enough for a horse like you," he scowls at that, " but I've got to eat real food. Titan or not."
"Guess your cooking dinner then."
"Fine." I scowl as I walk into the kitchen before poking my head around the corner. " You do know we're fresh out of horse feed so if you want some I suggest you visit the animal shelter down the road. I'm sure they'll lend you some if you ask nicely, just make sure they don't take you in for looking like a neglected pony."
He throws a pillow at my head in which I easily dodge before making a dinner consisting of minestrone soup and stewed pineapple.

As I'm running through the park the cool summer breeze ruffles my hair. A Saba (cherry blossom) tree sways in the distance, the pink petals swirling in the air as they fall to the ground, creating a pool of petals. I stop for a break by a tree as a hand cups my mouth and drags me backwards into the forest. I try shouting for help but it's no use, I get the same result when I try to squirm out of my captor's grasp. I'm thrown against a tree when a familiar voice sounds in my ears "You're going to pay Titan-boy." He spits. Jean? I look around and realise we aren't alone. About five other people are positioned around us, their faces concealed with a simple white mask. Jean lands a punch to my face as I bite back my bark of pain. I punch him in the gut but he only replies with "Try retaliating and I'll call in the rest of them." So I stop, I stand still and let him hit me once, twice...
"What's 1000 - 7?" He whispers in my ear. Jean lets go of my shirt and I fall to the ground. He kicks me in the gut. Hard. I whimper in pain.
"What's 1000 - 7?" He repeats, shouting this time.
"993." I wheeze.
"Good. Good. Now count back in 7s."
And I do, awaiting the next blow again and again. I must have a cracked rib and a broken nose at least. Gods above, I must be peppered with bruises too. As I lie there, unmoving, I await the next kick but soon realise it's not coming. I open my clenched eyes and see Jean and his squad lying around me unconcious. Then I notice a familiar ravenette looming over me but I can't quite put a name to his face.
Levi's POV:
I heat a shout come from the woods. Tch. Sounds like my maths teacher when he's enraged. Being my curious self, I decide to investigate further. The leaves crunch and the twigs snap under my boots as I walk through the woods. I hear muffled talking and a loud thud and crack. I race towards the sound and find a gang of kids beating a poor brat up. Wait. No. That's not just any brat, that's Eren! I rush over as quick as possible at beat the living crap out of the kids assaulters. The brat looks pretty beat up. I pick him up in my arms and sit down on a nearby log.
"Hey, brat are you alright?"
"Obviously not, it hurts like hell but... Thank you, for saving me." He looks around at the fallen men and I answer before any words can come out if his now open mouth.
"No. They are not dead, just unconscious."
He looks at me with confusion before nodding his head.
"C'mon kid, let's get you to the nurse."
I stand up with him still in my arms. He narrows his eyes at me.
"What?" I demand then realize he probably can't see very well because of his two swollen eyes.
"What's your name?"
I hesitate before replying. "Rivai - Levi. Levi Ackerman."
Then he blacks out in my arms. Crap!
I hurry to the nurse, faster than I've ever run before, considering I have an unconscious Eren in my hands. This brat makes me worry too much. I haven't even known him for a full day yet. I look down at him. He is kinda cute. Considering all of the cuts and bruises on his face. I mentally slap myself before proceeding with the task in hand.
