The PBC

Chapter 23

Eren sighed as he sat in the club room the following Monday. Mikasa and Armin were giving him odd looks. Well, Armin was. Mikasa was glaring.

"I can't believe you fucking forgave him after that." Mikasa said lowly. Eren sighed as he rolled his eyes.

"This kind of shit is part of the job." Eren said before he sighed again. "Damn I hate calling this a job."

"Why?" Petra said as she picked up a recent player report she had finished with. Eren leaned back in his chair.

"Because it seems like I'm not invested in this relationship." He said. "And I am damn it! I want to be with Levi SO badly."

"You can't force love." Petra said as she walked over to the PBC president. Eren sighed as he took the report.

"I know. But I'm not. I'm seriously not even really trying to break Levi right now." Eren said. It was true. He really wasn't.

With others, he could place the right words at the right times, see what's going on and wrong before he even engages them himself. But with Levi, he was just doing better on his own. Eren knew this didn't mean anything. All because Levi only had one relationship, and that was with Eren, didn't mean he wasn't still a player. Didn't mean he didn't have commitment issues. Those were something deeper that Eren would actually have to try to chip away at.

"What happened this weekend anyways?" Hanji asked as she sat on the desk next to Eren.

"That stupid bitch started to make a scene with Eren before she just kissed Levi in front of him." Mikasa snapped out. "That short ass is lucky I had to make sure Eren was okay or else I'd-"

"Do nothing." Eren said with a warning tone. "As rules of the club, you CAN NOT impose on someone else's assignment unless the president says other wise. The VP has no say in it."

"That's a loophole for you and you know it." Eren stood as he looked to her.

"It may be, but I'm not the one who originally made the rules." This had most of the club's attention.

"You didn't?" Bert asked shyly from his desk. Eren nodded.

"You've all met my mother-"

"I haven't!" Hanji whined. Eren sighed as he rubbed his temples.

"Sorry Hanji. That means that Petra hasn't either. I'll have to set up a date for you to meet her." He said, causing Hanji to beam.

"So, what about your mother?" Hanji asked, curious.

"Well, she made the first PBC in this school." Eren said. "She was the president while her absolute best friend in the entire world was her VP. Her exact words mind you. She wasn't one to take anyone's shit sitting down, that's why she made that rule. It's known, named by her as well mind you, as the President's Intervene Loophole. Since she was the president at the time, it meant that if she felt it was necessary, she could go in and deal with a player, or other individual, if needed, when needed."

"But your mother seems so sweet." Eren snorted at Molbit's response.

"My mother was in the fucking military dude, remember? And a marine at that."

"Wait, I thought you said it was your mom's idea for you to start the club." Petra said.

"Eren had come home from school one day in middle school and told mom how he saw this kid, who he knew had a girlfriend, making out with this other girl under the stairs. He was so angry and pissed off by it. Mom said that she knows how he feels, and that when she was in high school, she had a club that broke players. Eren had decided that he was going to make one for his generation. Mom said it was a great idea, so she taught him all she knew. Even shared the fact that dad used to be a really bad player back in the day." Mikasa said.

"No way!" Hanji turned to Eren. "You're mom married a player?" Eren shook his head.

"No, she broke the player she assigned herself. She had fallen in love with dad quickly, and he knew who she was. He took her on dates to prove he couldn't be broken, but he fell in love with her. At the time, their were only two really big, bad players. My dad, and someone else who my mother never mentions because she hates him. She even told me that if she ever saw the man's face again she'd probably go to jail." Eren said as he looked at the papers on his desk. "All she told me was that he was never broken, and she regrets it."

"Oh wow." Petra said. The room was quiet until the door opened.

"Sasha, I brought your choco-" The voice was cut off by Sasha launching herself literally across the room and tackling the poor soul to the floor, ripping the snack out of their hands.

"Oh my. Connie, are you okay?" Marco asked as he looked at the poor buzz headed sophomore laying on the floor, still under his girlfriend.

"Y-Yeah, I'm good. Damn babe, you didn't need to-" He was cut off again by lips pressed against his own and he just allowed his girlfriend to kiss him.

"You can finish thanking him once the door is closed." Mikasa said. Sasha pulled back and brought Connie in the room before shutting the door and kissing him again while simultaneously trying to eat the chocolate. Once Connie pulled back, letting Sasha eat her chocolate happily, he turned to Eren.

"Yo dude. Heard you're dating Levi." Eren nodded. "How's that going man? Break him yet?" Petra and Hanji cocked their heads while Eren shook his head.

"Not yet man." Connie shrugged.

"You'll get there eventually. Hey, you got new members, cool. Hey, I'm Connie Springer. Sasha's boyfriend and ex-assignment as of last week." He said. Simply waving with a smile as he pulled out some more snacks for his girlfriend.

"H-How do you know about..." Petra trailed off. Connie looked confused for a second.

"Know about what?" Armin decided to step in to help.

"Connie knows because Eren trusts him not to tell. Connie was never a violent player, wasn't even completely intentional on his part. It's hard to describe that part. He was on our radars for a few months because of a few rumors that were proved to be true, but him and Eren were friends before that. Eren just felt like playing matchmaker that time around because he saw how good of a couple Sasha and Connie would've made. Once Connie was off player status, Eren let him in on it. He plans on doing the same with Reiner once Bert breaks him." The tall brunet blushed off in his corner.

"I see." Hanji said as she leaned back on her hands.

"By the way Petra, you lied to me." Eren said. Petra cocked her head.

"About what?" Eren smirked.

"Levi apologized to me yesterday." The room quieted. "On his own. He actually said 'I'm apologize' in English, and then acknowledge the fact he had, and was, apologizing." Hanji just stared as did Petra. They look at each other, sharing a look and giggling. "What?" Eren was now confused.

"Nothing." Molbit said. "They're having one of their moments." He said. It ended up earning him a very happy and kissy Hanji in his lap.
