Pretty Boy

He's Bad News

Eren hung his head in shame. "I'm so sorry."

"Who the hell are you?" The boy spat. Eren did not respond.

"I said who the hell are you?" The gruff voice repeated. For the first time Eren looked up into the face of the boy he had knocked down.

"I'm Eren Yeager." Eren smiled widely without showing his teeth. "It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry about running into you." He put his hand up as if to ask for help getting to his feet.

"Huh?" The boys eyes widened when he took notice of the moron who knocked him over. A pink blush spread across his face, but he seemed to snap out of his daze quickly. "Thanks a lot brat. You got me all dirty by knocking me on the ground." The boy began brushing off his expensive looking black dress pants and white button up.

"Listen I said I'm sorry. It was an accident." Eren tried to do his best to explain.

"Levi! Is this little bitch bothering you?" Two huge guys and a short red headed girl started walking towards Eren, and the boy who Eren now knew as Levi.

Levi turned around to acknowledge them. "Erwin. Oluo."

"Levi!" The girl shouted and she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Hello Petra." He said with little emotion. "You look nice."

"Levi is this first year causing problems on his first day?" the blonde boy asked.

"He looks like a fag if you ask me." The other said.

"Give it a rest." Levi rolled his eyes. "It was an accident." Levi looked at Eren with almost apologetic eyes, but only for less than a split second. Immediately after, he brought his knees up sharply into the side of Eren's face. He followed with a vicious punch that drew blood and another kick. "Don't let it happen again brat."

Armin and Mikasa only made it in time to see the final blow.

"Eren!" Mikasa shouted before running over to him. "Are you okay? Do I need to beat him up?!"

"Mikasa it's fine." Eren smiled. "He helped me out."

"Helped you out?" Mikasa yelled. "It looks to me like he beat the hell out of you!"

"Yeah." Eren was wearing a dopey smile. "But I think he had a good reason."

"What the hell are you talking about Eren? You sound like an idiot! You don't just go beat someone for some nice reason!" Mikasa was getting fed up with Eren and the boy she hadn't had the pleasure of meeting.

"Don't get involved with Levi." A tall freckled girl said as she approached the three.

"Why not?" Eren asked while being assisted off the ground by a frantic Mikasa.

"Trust me. He's not the best guy around. And his friends are even worse."

"Well why are you telling us?" Mikasa began to get defensive. She assumed the girl was implying something about Eren.

"So you'll owe me." She smiled somewhat slyly and somewhat genuinely. She began to walk away, towards the school.

"Eren. Armin." Mikasa said, trying to pretend the first day hadn't started the way it did. "Let's go."
