Not Crazy, Just Different [Ereri One Shot]

Not Crazy, Just Different

A/N: The idea for this came to me while writing my Jeanmarco fic and in a lovely attempt to avoid my problems I wrote this in like two days (so sorry if it's awful). To clarify Eren is not really meant to be clinically disabled although it may seem that way. And I do not mean to offend anyone in any way, I have family that has issues of that nature and I don't want to appear insensitive in any way. Also there may be a lot of commas in Eren's bits to represent pauses in his train of thought.

On a lighter note I hope you enjoy this little one shot. There is no smut, sorry. I'm trying to keep writing despite my busy schedule. Long live Ereri! *AoT salute*

Levi - Normal Text
Eren - Italics

Have you ever gotten to a point in your life where everything seems totally uninteresting? Nothing changes, you go about doing the same things day in and day out. It makes you wonder what the point is. Is this the life you're doomed to live? A life full of dull gray hues and monotone voices where nothing ever changes.

Well the point is, that is where I am right now and it's just flat out depressing. My name is Levi Ackerman and I lead the most boring life on this planet. I literally just got off work and am at a café doing homework, how generic is that? I know I sound like a whiny brat and there are people out there with real problems but at least they have a goal, something to work for. I'm not alone entirely by choice although my friends would describe me as aloof. My past has led me to be very alone but that is not anyone's business.

I'm sitting here drinking my tea when some approaches from behind me. I tense up and they jump into the seat next to me. It's Hanji, I glare at her.

"'Sup Levi," she greets with an obnoxious grin.

"What do you want?" I ask giving her a no nonsense look.

"Oh c'mon at least be a little happy to see me."

I roll my eyes and don't respond. She starts rambling on shout some of her science experiments and whatever else she happens to be involved with.

"... So what do you think?" She asks.

"About what?"

She sighs. "See Levi this is why you only have two friends."

"Do I need more?"

"I'm just saying you could put more effort into being nice."

"I'm not exactly patient if you hadn't noticed."

"See I think you are but only with things and people you care about. Granted there aren't many but you are a good person, Levi."

"What's your point?"

She gives me a grin that makes me worried. "Would you consider having a roommate?"

I look at her confused. "I've had roommates, I finally got payed enough to not have to have one, why would I want to live with someone if I can live alone?"

"Just here me out, this guy is different he is a sophomore and needs a place to stay."

"Why me?" I ask skeptically.

"He is... different, not really mentally disabled he just thinks differently than other people. He needs a place where he can be safe and I promised a friend I could help."

"Why can't you do it and it's not like I'm not exactly qualified."

"Well I'm unpredictable on a good day. You're more stable and you are also a trustworthy person and Eren is pretty good at telling, even though you look like you want to murder everyone."
