Chap. 9 Whats Wrong?

Eren slept deeply that night, but woke up early to open the shop.

As the day went on, Armin and Annie came in. Armin started talking about how he just lost his job and is in school so he's freaking out because he needs the money.

Eren suggested working at his bakery and then there eternal friendship was formed.

Later that day Eren noticed Levi didn't come to the bakery. He felt terrible and went to the office, closing early.

He went to the front desk and Hanji started to scream joyfully.

"EREEEEENNNNNNNNN!!!!" She climbed off her desk and ran over to him laughing.

"Y-Yes?" Eren said with wide eyes, scared.

"Are you here to see Mr.Ackerman?" She smirked, poking him then pushing up her glasses.

"If he's here..." He muttered shyly.

She started to laugh again and pulled him along to his office.

"LEVIIIIIIIII!!!!!" She sung, opening his office door and noticed he wasn't there.

"....what.....?" Hanji said softly, letting go of Eren and walking around his office.

"He's never missed a day of work... He started this business 3 years ago, never late... Never NOT here..."She said worriedly.

"Can you go check on him, he'd yell at me if I left my desk." She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck, then writing down his address and giving it to Eren.

"Are you sure? What if he's just sick and I'm bothering him..." He bit his lip, not wanting to be a burden like where he used to live, his fathers and mothers harsh words, the bully's screams, his sisters taunting.

"Noooo!!!!! He's actually never bothered by you, it's funny!" She laughed.

"Oh..." He blushed, rushing out the door to find Levi.

When he left, Hanji started to freak out and hop around the office.

"I SHIP IT SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!" She laughed, trying to regain her control.

Eren ran out the door and down the street, finding the address to a mansion.

"Holy shit... He lives here???" Erens mouth dropped and he hesitantly went to the door, knocking lightly.

Levi slowly opened the door, looking awful, sad and depressed, maybe even tipsy.

"Eren?" His eyes widened and he immediately opened the door open widely.

"Hey, Levi... Are you ok? Hanji and I were worried about you... " He said honestly, stepping into his home, taking off his shoes and looking around.

"Oh... I'm just~... It's known of your business brat." He smirked, walking into the kitchen to get him some water.

"Heichou, what's wrong?" Eren said seriously, glaring at him.

"Nothing is wrong Eren..." Levi sighed, giving him the water and sitting next to him, starting to drink his tea.

"DONT LIE! I've had to much lying in my family, I don't need it from you to." He could tell he was lying, but felt bad for raising his voice.

"Fine... You're such a persistent pest~" He sighed, looking to the ground, letting his raven black hair cover his face.
