Pretty Boy

Forced to be Social

Three weeks after Eren saw Petra and Levi on their coffee shop date, he was still acting the same. On the first chilly Friday in October. Eren was at his locker shoving all of his books into his pastel pink backpack. He had got it for his birthday but never wanted to use it. He didn't think it mattered much anymore if his masculinity was questioned. He truly believed everyone knew his secret.

Eren tried to leave the school as fast as possible as he has been trying to do lately. But to his demise Jean grabbed ahold of his shirt and yanked him back through the doors of the school, right into his whole group of friends, plus the misplaced looking Ymir.

"Yeager! Where have you been man?" Connie asked.

"Sorry." Was all Eren said.

"Listen little man!" Ymir said. "There's a party tonight after he game. I convinced Krista and these guys to go. You should too."

"Maybe." Eren said, trying to leave agin. Jean grabbed his shirt once more.

"Eren no. You're going. You've ditched us for the past three weeks. Marco and I will pick up you Mikasa and Armin for the game tonight. Tell your mom you're staying at my house tonight. We're gonna go have a fun time." Jean was nice to Eren for the first time. Jeans hopefulness was endearing, but he couldn't have been more wrong about the nights events.

"LEVI! LEVI! LEVI!" The crowd at the game chanted. Eren couldn't help but start at the young man on the field. He looked so beautiful and in the zone. Eren was entranced but eventually reality settled in and he knew that it would never happen. The game was in the heat of the fourth quarter when Eren finally turned to Jean and asked "where is this party anyway? And how'd Ymir get so close to you guys?"

"Ymir and Krista have been hanging out a lot. I think Krista is helping her with French or something."

"Yeah so where's the party?" Eren didn't really care much about the other thing. When he asked he just wanted to know if they were dating yet.

"Oh you didn't know? Levi's house."
