In Another Life- Ereri

Chapter Eight.

Well, this is long over due. Sorry, everyone. I just lost my muse to write this, but yeah. Here.

Levi stared at Eren, a blank stare accompanying his blank, expressionless face. He didn't say anything for the longest time, and just kept staring, trying to find the words to even speak at this point. So, Eren had the exact same dreams as his, and on top of that, they were also together in his as well? This was just beyond weird; impossible even. Yet here they were.

"Levi... Are you okay?" Eren asked, frowning a bit, his green eyes focused on the male before him, who only now seemed to snap out of his thoughts. "You've been staring at me for the longest time..." He said, glancing away, and rubbing the back of his neck in an almost timid way. It was a bit unlike Eren, given he was far from timid, but right now, he couldn't help but act this way. Especially around Levi. From the moment he had laid eyes on him, he had felt strangely nervous around him, or just looking at him. Sure, he had been having those dreams, so the nervousness could be interpreted as that, but it was something else-- the guy just generally made him feel... weird.

"Uh, yeah.." He muttered, rising to his feet, and stretching a bit. "I should, uh, go." He muttered, leaving Eren's room without another word.

Eren's P.O.V.

Well, that didn't go as well as I had thought out. I had hoped that telling Levi about the dreams, would make me feel a whole lot better, but it only seemed to make my mind and brain hurt worse. So, the guy was literally having the exact same dreams as me, and we were dating in it as well. I didn't know why, but it didn't make me feel relieved. If anything, I felt almost sick to my stomach. Unless it was some weird ass coincidence, Levi and I's dreams could have been a reality at one point, and that was just terrifying to think about. We died; we lost our friends; we fought titans. I don't know about you, but if you found out something like that, wouldn't you feel just the little bit.. I don't know, scared? Unnerved? Concerned? Right now, I was feeling all of that, only ten times that. The very fact Levi walked out make things even worse. The guy probably hated me now, and it only made my stomach sink. Why does my life always have to suck like this?

    As the week went on, I finally returned to school, though I didn't really want to. I honestly didn't feel like meeting whatever Jean had in store for me. But to my surprise, when I entered the school building, Jean simply looked at me, and walked off. I wasn't sure, but it looked like he still had a black eye from whatever Levi did to him... Speaking of Levi.. I let out a sigh as soon as I saw the short male. He, on the other hand, gave me a glare, and turned his gaze back to his so-called friends. Sure, the guy was nice looking and all, but people basically swarmed him the moment he entered the damn school. I didn't really care, but I didn't understand how he even managed this in such a short period of time... But again, whatever.
It sort of sucked that Levi stopped visiting me after our little talk about the dreams, but alas, that was to be expected. I just sort of hoped we could be friends or something. But then again, who'd want to be friends with a guy like me? Oh well...

"Eren!" Armin said, snapping me out of my thoughts with a nudge. "Why are you staring at the guy?" He questioned, his bright blue eyes staring up at me questioningly.

"I guess I spaced out." I said, shrugging slightly, and turning my gaze back to Levi, who had disappeared from his previous spot. I gave a small frown, and let out a sigh. I needed to get over the thought of a friendship with him. It wasn't going to happen.

"Come on, Eren. You've been spacing out for the last three days. Every time I come over, Levi would get brought up, and you'd end up just staring off, or losing yourself in thought.." Armin let out a sigh, and hugged his books to his chest a bit tighter, before shaking his head. "I have to go to class, but I'll see you at lunch, alright?" He gave a small smile, before he quickly walked off, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Bad mistake. I did, however manage to make it to my first block, which I sadly shared with Levi. Hell, if Armin was right, I'd probably never get anything done... See, there I go again. Seriously, I need to get this guy off my mind..

Nothing really important happened this chapter, but eh. I hope you enjoy
