This was both the most amazing thing that could have happened and the worst, most horrific possibility ever. The door opened and Levi glared out at him. "Ugh, not you..." Levi grumbled, before turning back around when he saw who his room-mate was and sat back on his bed. Eren's heart sank at Levi's reaction. So he DID hate him. Eren's chest ached as he stood outside, yep, this was definitely the worst, most horrific thing that could possibly ever happen.

"Well are you coming in or not?" Levi snapped, not looking up from his work. He looked at Eren standing awkwardly in his navy jeans and pale green t-shirt in the corridor. Eren swallowed and didn't move. "Well?" He looked up impatiently and Eren took in a shaking breath before taking a hesitant step towards the door. This was going to be horrible... He had the hugest crush on Levi, was now room-mates with him, and Levi apparently hated him. He just wanted the floor to swallow him up as he stepped inside the door and reluctantly shut it behind him. Levi didn't look up from his work and Eren chewed his lip, glancing at the other bed. There was a small desk in the room and a chest of drawers. Overall it was quite cramped but surprisingly clean, a lot cleaner than any other room he'd stayed in. Well, of course it would be, Levi was in here... He put his rucksack down onto the dark green covers. Everyone's suitcases had been brought up for them previously and Eren saw it under the bed. He perched tentatively on the edge of the mattress, his hands in his pockets. He watched Levi for a few moments before clearing his throat.

"Er, hi, I-I'm Eren." He said quietly.

"I know." Levi grumbled, not looking up. Eren shifted uncomfortably. "You look at me in the library everyday. It's annoying." Eren's cheeks filled with colour and he looked down at his tattered trainers, scuffing them on the carpet.

"S-sorry..." He whispered, his messy brown hair shielding his eyes as he hung his head. Levi's head snapped up when he heard Eren's shoes on the carpet and he kicked one of his feet.

"Don't do that, you'll ruin it!" He snapped, glaring at Eren. Eren looked at him in shock.

"S-Sorry Levi!" He stammered. Levi knew he would know his name, he would hardly not seeing as he watched him work practically every single day.
"Hmph.." Levi grumbled and looked back down at his studies. They sat in awkward silence for a few minutes and Eren questioned life in his embarrassment, he just wanted to die right now because he was so terribly embarrassed. The only sound to be heard was the sound of Levi's pen on his paper and the occasionally turn of a page. "Are you not going to unpack you brat?" Eren was taken aback.

"Brat?"
"Yes." Levi replied plainly.

"Why brat?" Eren asked quietly, earning only a glare from Levi. He got to his feet slowly after a few moments of painful silence and pulled his bag out from under his bed. Questioning Levi was obviously not a good thing to do. He peeked at Levi as he got back on with his work, maybe he wasn't as great as he had first thought. Sure he knew Levi was moody and kept himself to himself, but he had hoped when he first talked to him properly they would have hit it off right away... Apparently not. Well, that was probably 6 months of staring gone to waste! He still couldn't help the butterflies that fluttered queasily in his stomach every time he looked at him though.

Eren unzipped his case as quietly as possible. Levi shuffled back on his bed, taking off his black trainers and tucking them neatly under the bed. He leant on the wall with his knees up, working on the law essay in his lap. He put black earphones in his ears and selected some music before realising Eren was watching him again. He glared over his knees at him and Eren hastily turned away. Eren looked at the clothes and belongings in his small, mostly empty case. He didn't have much but he didn't know where to put it, Levi was obviously a clean freak and wouldn't want mess. He pulled out his clothes. "Um Levi... Where do I put these?" He practically whispered and without looking up, Levi pointed at a chest of drawers.

"The three on the left are yours, the three on the right are mine." He mumbled. Eren silently went and opened the top drawer, slipping his few clothes inside. He closed it and put his toothbrush on the shared bedside table for now. The only other thing he had was a book he had brought from home and he put that on the night stand too.

"Is that it?" Levi's rich, deep voice piped up and Eren glanced at the older, dark haired male.

"Yes. Why...?"
"Well it's not very much, is it?" Levi frowned, looking at the book and toothbrush. He had seen the little clothes he'd put away a moment ago too. "I'd expected you to bring more..."

"Well I don't have very much."
"Hm..." Levi mumbled and turned back to his work. He didn't have much either but he had more than Eren. Eren sighed and went to the door.
"I'm going to go see my friend." He waited for a reply but got none as he tapped his fingers on the door frame awkwardly. "Bye then..." He walked out and quietly shut the door behind him. Levi glanced up at the door when it shut and groaned quietly. This was going to be a long year...
