Attack On Titan Fanfiction (Incomplete)

Chapter 4: An Awkward Series Of Events

(A/N:) Just wanted to say that I made this college idea up completely so it isn't using any real system and has different facilities and rules to actual colleges so don't worry about the fact it's sort of like university, it's just made up for the sake of the story :) Anyway, carry on reading!

In the morning, the alarm buzzed and Eren shifted in bed, groaning. He fumbled for the alarm, nearly knocking it down. He turned it off and put his arm over his eyes. Five minutes later the snooze went off and he rubbed his eyes, blinking sleep from his eyelids. He glanced over at Levi's bed through his half open eyes. Levi was in a different set of clothes to the previous night but showed no other signs of moving. Eren wondered if he'd just gone and got showered and not slept at all. "Levi?" He mumble drowsily. "Did you even sleep?"

"Why the hell do you care?" Levi turned and glared at him, looking away from what he was working on.

"I don't." Eren grumbled, turning around in annoyance. Was he always going to be like this? "I was just asking..."

"Well no, for your information. Does that matter? Has that changed your life Jaeger?" Levi said sarcastically Eren glared at the wall.

"I hate you..." He muttered under his breath but Levi heard.

"Well the feeling's mutual." Eren scoffed when Levi replied and pushed himself up in bed. He wanted to get away from Levi and he positively hated himself for thinking that Levi looked hot in a tight black t-shirt that showed his chest muscles and revealed his strong biceps and forearms, although he was wearing sweat bands on his wrists as he was obviously going to be going to the gym... Eren imagined how hot he must look there and cursed himself yet again, he wanted to hate Levi. Levi glared at him and then Eren turned to go to freshen up and get ready.

When Eren got back, Levi was still where he was. Eren wasn't so tired now and looked at his bed. Levi had made it for him and folded up the towel he had thrown on the floor last night, putting it on the end of his bed for him.

"What the hell is all this?"

"A bed Eren. Oh, and a towel." Levi mumbled as he carried on writing.

"Oh haha, you're funny." Eren grumbled and pulled his bag out from under his bed. "Why did you do this if you hate me?"

"Because this is my room too and I don't want to see your mess everywhere." Eren rolled his eyes. He should have guessed it wouldn't be to be nice to him or anything. "Well thanks..." He grumbled half-heartedly, slinging the bag strap over his back. Levi put his paper down and got off the bed, getting his own bag. He slipped his papers into it and shooed Eren out of the room with his hand. They went out and Levi locked it up. Without saying anything, Levi walked past Eren to go off somewhere. He didn't eat breakfast. Eren glared at his back as he walked off and went to knock on Armin's door.

He waited outside for a few moments after knocking before the blonde appeared, his back on his back. "Hey Eren!" Armin said and Connie followed him out, his hands in his pockets.

"Hey..."

"You ok?" Connie asked as he locked up.

"Yeah, just fine..." Eren grumbled, turning to go downstairs, expecting the two to follow him. Armin and Connie exchanged glances and Armin shrugged before they followed the moody brunette down the corridor. The three headed down the wooden stairs and out of the living quarters to the main part of the college. A few people were on their way to the canteen as well. They went to buy their food and sat down at a table. Eren hadn't wanted much, he's just bought a cup of coffee. He needed it.

"Eren, are you not going to eat anything?" A female voice behind him called around a mouthful of food and Eren turned around. His friend Sasha slipped into the seat next to him, stuffing her face with food. Armin wrinkled his nose at how she was cramming food into her mouth. Connie, Armin, Sasha and Eren had all been friends at their previous school and had come up to college together. They were in their second year there. Eren's sister Mikasa (well he was adopted by her parents) was joining the college late that year so she wasn't there yet.

"No, I'm not really in the mood..." Eren sighed and picked up his coffee in two hands, letting it warm him up. He blew it gently and took a small sip, taking in and savouring the rich smell that wafted off of it. God he needed a coffee...

Eren was unusually quiet all day and not even Armin knew how to cheer him up. He trailed behind the group with his head hung and messy brown hair in his face. They went to their lectures and classes as normal but Eren didn't participate, he simply kept his head down and gazed moodily at his lap. Armin watched him with a frown throughout the day, this whole Levi situation was obviously affecting him badly. He wondered if he should request a room change for Eren so that someone else could be with him, although he couldn't help but be afraid of Levi, he was so sinister and stoic, he didn't understand Eren's crush on him at all... Sure, he could see that Levi was good looking but Armin was straight so didn't understand Eren's physical attraction either. It was Levi's personality that bothered him, sure he didn't know the guy, but from what he saw his personality was pretty consistent with everyone. Cold and moody.

Eren and his friends had no lectures in the afternoon and they all wanted to go out to town, except for Eren. He had decided (rather moodily) to stay behind by grumbling an excuse and walking off with his head hung and his hands in his comfortably oversized red hoodie pockets. He let out a deep sigh and flopped onto a bench outside of the gym and sighed, resting his chin in his hands and his elbows on his knees. He dropped his bag beside him on the floor. His brown hair ruffled about in the wind and blew into his emerald eyes as he gazed at the large shining glass windows, not really looking through them. No one else was around, he was in a small courtyard area with stone pavement surrounding an area of grass with a large willow tree in the centre, it's drooping branches tickling the grass and creating soft brushing sounds in the gentle, cool breeze. After a while of just sitting, thinking and listening to the wind in the leaves, Eren shifted his position slightly and properly looked through the glass of the gym. He froze. He could see Levi leaning on a wall on the other side of the small gym and he could clearly see the man. He was wearing a grey vest top, revealing his strong biceps and arms. So he was right, the black sweat bands round his wrists were for the gym. He should have thought of that and realised that he shouldn't have come out here knowing that Levi would be there too! There was sweat on the front of Levi's shirt, making it cling to his chest muscles. Eren took in a sharp breath as he stared at him. His sweaty black hair was slicked away from his face and beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, his cheeks slightly flushed from effort. He was leaning with his arms folded on the wall, obviously taking a break. All of a sudden, Levi turned and caught Eren's green eyes staring at him with his own sharp grey-blue ones. Eren gasped and clumsily snatched his bag up, a couple of books falling as he jumped to his feet. He hurriedly ran a few steps before skidding and turning to grab the fallen books. He thwacked his knee on the side of the bench as he bent down to get them and held it, biting his lip. He cursed himself out loud, his cheeks flushing crimson. He turned and ran, as fast as he could with his hurt leg, away from the gym, his books and Levi.

"Tch..." Levi shook his head from his place inside the gym. What the hell was Eren doing? That boy was a completely awkward clutz. Levi took a sip of water, watching the pages of Eren's books flap gently in the wind from their place on the dirty pavement. His room-mate was a complete idiot, an awkward brat that constantly followed him around like a dog. He wondered if Eren had followed him to the gym. If that's what he had done, that would be thoroughly creepy... Not that that wouldn't be out of character to be honest, the boy had in fact been literally staring at him across a library for hald a bloody year. He had seen Eren there about 10 minutes previously but he'd been looking blankly at the glass with glazed over eyes, obviously deep in thought. Maybe he hadn't noticed him until just a few moments previous... Either way, he was annoying as fuck.

Eren ran as fast as he could, his cheeks burning up. He slung his bag over his bag and slammed head first into two doors and careened three times into walls as he half limped/half sprinted his way painfully back to his room. He was flustered and horribly embarrassed for being caught staring, Levi probably hated him even MORE now if that was even damn possible! He should have just gone with Armin and the others, then this would never have happened! He fumbled with his door key and dropped it as he tried to unlock his room. He snatched it back up with shaking fingers and finally managed to unlock the door and open it. He slammed it behind him and threw his bag on the floor, jumping onto his bed. He buried his face into his pillow and groaned. This was a complete nightmare...

(A/N:) You've got to admit that Eren's awkwardness is pretty adorable... Hope you enjoyed this chapter, thanks so much for reading! :D
