Second Attempt:

Levi woke up with a loud knock to the door. He rolled out of bed and dragged himself down to the cafeteria. He wasn't in the mood to stand in the line for whatever was being dished up, so he skipped the line and got himself three slices of toast – butter, jam and peanut butter – from the extras table. Jean joined him a while later with his bowl of hot oats.

"Can I join you at the gym sometime?" Levi asked and Jean smiled. "Always." Levi nodded and bit into the piece of toast with peanut butter. "Let me know when you want to go so that we don't piss of Blondie." Levi frowned. "Why would he be pissed?" Jean looked at him like he was an idiot. "What do you guys usually do when I'm working out?" Levi blinked a few times. "Oh. Right. Does he tell you to go?" Jean shrugged. "Sometimes, but it actually got me into the habit of going, so I guess I can't complain."

The raven checked the line for Farlan. It would still be a while before he joins them. "Eren asked me out again." Jean looked up at him. "Really?" Levi nodded. "He dropped a letter off at my room. It was short and shit, but yeah." Jean chuckled softly. "What did it say?" Levi picked up his last piece of toast. "Something about how people wrote letters a century ago, but this century is better because it has ice cream. He asked me to go to Scoops with him." Jean frowned and smiled at the same time. Levi thought it made him look rather constipated. "He's original, I'll give him that. What are you going to say?" Levi collected his plates and looked up to see Farlan dishing up. "No. And since he wants to write so bad, I'll write it on him." Jean laughed softly. "Have fun with that." The two greeted each other and Levi left to go drop his plate.

Farlan stopped him when they passed each other. "Morning." Levi greeted him back and they looked at each other for a moment. "What was that yesterday?" Levi frowned a bit. "I said it was nothing, I just wasn't in the mood." He was slightly pissed that Farlan brought it up and made it sound like he did something wrong. Farlan frowned right back at him. "You weren't acting like you usually do since lunch." Levi was even more pissed at the suggestion. "Now you're just being a dick, Farlan. I didn't want to, okay?" Farlan backed up, always the innocent victim. "Okay, okay. Only wanted to know if you were alright."

Now Levi felt like the dick. Farlan was just worried, he just expressed it in an odd way. And Levi interpreted it a little wrong. "I'm sorry, you're right. I'm fine, I was just pissed at Satellite and tired, you know. Not a good mix." Farlan smiled a bit and put his hand on Levi's elbow as a tender gesture. "Want me to do anything about it?" Levi shook his head. "He was being childish, there's nothing you can do about that." Farlan hummed. "I'll see you later." He raised his bowl to bring Levi's attention to it before they went their separate ways.

When Levi opened his locker to get his uniform out, the letter fell out of it. Levi folded it in half again and put it in the shoe box he kept smaller things in such as his earphones and house keys. Things he shouldn't lose. It wasn't that the letter was important, but you only get so many hand written letters these days, so each one received is one worth keeping.

Levi spotted Eren for the first time at roll call when the brunette's name was called out. He walked over to Eren while digging a pen out of his pocket. Eren smiled when he saw Levi nearing him, clearly seeing it as a good sign that Levi was approaching him, but Levi had other plans. With the pen now in his hand, he grabbed Eren's wrist, pushed his sleeve up and wrote 'Still no' up his arm in blue ink. Levi's handwriting was noticeably messier than usual since writing on soft skin was much harder than writing on paper, but that didn't matter as long as he got his message across.

Third Attempt:

Their second period was English lit. As always, Levi walked to the back of the class to have a seat next to Jean. This time Levi did catch Eren looking back at him a few times and he couldn't help but wonder what he was planning. Eren was smiling when they walked out of the class.

"Do you have class with Eren now?" Levi asked and his friend nodded. "We have business. Probably going to sit and write down the teacher's notes in our books the whole period again." Levi hummed. "Sounds better than physics." Jean smiled a bit. "See you at break." Levi smiled as well. "Yeah, cheers."

Levi saw Eren a few more times before lunch and was sure he had done something, because the look he gave him was as if he was expecting some sort of reaction from him. He decided against walking up to the brunette and asking him what it was. If it was another letter or something similar, finding it somewhere when he wasn't expecting it would be more fun than knowing what's coming. He just hoped Eren doesn't plan on doing something big and public.

When lunch rolled by, Jean only increased his suspicion that something was up. "Do you have your phone with you?" Jean asked him. "No, it's in my room." He thought for a second; Jean knew he never really used his phone. "Why?" Jean clearly tried to suppress a smile. "No reason. You should just check on it sometime." Levi frowned and watched Jean take a bite of the homemade hot dogs they got for lunch. He wasn't going to get any information out of him.

"I'll check after school." Levi usually didn't use his phone because he spent most of his time with the people he would have been texting. His mom used to give him the occasional call, but they found it easier to message each other every now and again. He got along with his mom, so it was not that there was any reason behind their minimal communication; it just worked better.

The more anxious Levi got to check on is phone, the slower time seemed to pass. Eren had stopped giving him looks when they were together in math class and for a brief moment Levi worried that Eren had given up already. He reminded himself that he was being silly and continued trying to work out an advance trig equation before the teacher moved on.

Levi and Farlan had health and society together, a class all the boys were obliged to take. They never did much work besides the occasional state issued educational video about safe sex or social issues. Farlan sat with him at one of the large tables for four. Levi sat at the end of the table and two of Farlan's other friends sat on the other side of Farlan. The four of them would goof off together and joke about whatever was shown on the videos played for them, but Levi never spoke to them outside of class. Farlan would occasionally hang out with them at break, but that was about it.

"Jean is going to the gym today. He said he's going to be there for an hour or two." Farlan had leaned in closer to Levi so that only he heard him. Levi nodded. "Yeah, I'm going with him." Farlan frowned a bit. "Why?" Levi shrugged. "I should start getting in shape for the next season. Better to start now than work my ass off during the holiday." Farlan sat back. "Oh." He was quiet for a while. "Will you be going with him every time from now on?" Levi shook his head. For a brief moment he considered nodding. Farlan didn't say anything else.

Levi remembered his phone when he put on something to go work out in. He turned on his phone and waited for messages to come through while he finished changing. He grabbed his device and an empty water bottle and checked his messages on his way to the bathroom to fill his bottle under one of the taps. A few notifications from various social media platforms popped up, but Levi ignored all that didn't come from messaging apps because he only really checked them over the holidays when he actually had something new to put up.

There were a few messages from his mom to check up on him and a few from friends that decided to forward something funny to him, but the latest one was from Jean of all people. He turned on a tap and stuck his bottle in under the stream while he read the text.

'Maybe you're more modern than what I thought? Jean said texting wasn't your style, but I convinced him that it was worth a shot. So how about it? I heard that there was a game place too if getting ice cream isn't exactly your thing. Gecko said it's nice and we could go check it out together this weekend. I hope I hear from you soon! :)'

The next message read: 'Obviously not from Jean' Levi chuckled softly and read the first message again. He got about halfway before he felt water flowing over his hand. He pulled the bottle out from under the open tap and turned it off. With his phone slid into his pocket, Levi closed the bottle and walked to Jean's room where they had arranged to meet up.

"You asshole." Levi greeted Jean who started laughing. "You're helping the enemy." Jean only laughed more. "So he's the enemy now? After two days?" Levi smiled a bit. "Enemy or mild inconvenience, you are still a traitor." Farlan popped up behind Jean. "What now?" Jean stepped out of the room to stand next to Levi. "He found out Ace was coming with us. As if I would only let him embarrass himself in front of me." Farlan laughed a bit. "Nice one." They greeted and Farlan closed the door as the other two walked down the hall.

"Ace is coming with us?" Levi asked and Jean shook his head. "But he's usually there after school." Levi nodded. "Do you have your phone with you?" He asked once they walked out of the dorms and Jean nodded. "And I have Eren's number in case you replied to me." Levi smiled when Jean handed him his phone. "Thanks." He looked for Eren in Jean's contacts and started typing him a message.

'Sorry, my mommy told me not to talk to pretty boy strangers online.
Obviously not from Jean.'

Levi was just about to hand Jean's phone back to him when it vibrated in his hand.

'What about pretty boy strangers in person?'

Levi smiled a bit at the screen and Jean smiled next to him.

'My mommy said nothing about them.'

'Perfect.'

Levi gave the phone back to Jean and flipped him off for wiggling his eyebrows at him. "I said no." Jean smiled more. "Yeah, but you're giving him hope." Levi scoffed. "He will grow tired of it soon enough. I'm just dragging out a bit." Jean raised an eyebrow. "You're feeding the fire." Levi looked at him. "No I'm not. There is no fire, no flame, no nothing." Levi saw Jean laughing at him and realized he was messing with him. "Oh fuck you."

Fourth Attempt:

"I am starving." Farlan complained as the three of them walked towards the dorm at lunch. "You decided to sleep in this morning." Jean countered and Farlan looked at him as if all world hunger was Jean's fault. "I swear I slept in for five minutes. Why didn't you get me anything?" He bumped Jean with his shoulder. Jean bumped him back. "You mean like you got me lunch when I had to write a quiz at break?" Farlan sighed in defeat. "We're all assholes. No use in arguing about it."

Levi chuckled softly. "You two are assholes." They both looked at Levi. "So are you." They said in unison and Levi shook his head. "You are like the emperor of Assholeville." Jean said. "An asshole by asshole standards." Farlan added. "Fuck you two, I'm royalty in Perfect city central." Levi threw back at them with a smile. Jean and Farlan looked at each other. "Sounds like something the King of Assholes would say." Jean said and Farlan nodded exaggeratedly. "Definitely. Only the biggest asshole would say that." Levi shook his head with a smile. "Fine, I take it back. We're all equal assholes." The three of them laughed.

The food line was long, but since they were grade elevens, they got to skip in near the front. "Next year we get to eat first." Jean reminded them. "The worst part about being grade eight was probably that the good stuff was all out by the time you got to the front." Levi and Farlan nodded. "I can't even remember how many times I ended up eating from the extras table after standing in a line all of the lunch period." Farlan said as they picked up their plates. "I don't miss those days." Levi said as the lunch worker dished up food into his plate.

"Do you guys remember that gunk we had to eat at initiation?" Jean asked and both of his friends pulled sour faces. "I can almost still taste it if I just think about it." Farlan said and then looked down at his plate. "And my lunch looked so good, fuck you very much." Jean shrugged. "Not my fault you have a weak stomach." Levi rolled his eyes at the two idiots. They walked to their usual spot on the grass to find Eren sitting there.

Levi slowed down when he saw him and turned his head to glare at Jean. "Did you invite him?" Jean shook his head. "He's here all on his own." Farlan looked at Eren. "His buddy probably ditched him. Maybe now you two could get to know each other." He wiggled his eyebrows at Levi before speeding up to go sit down next to Eren.

"Hey." He sat down and Eren looked at him. "Eren, right?" The brunette nodded and extended his hand. Farlan took his hand and shook it. "I'm Farlan." Eren smiled and pulled his hand back. "You're not in any of my classes, right?" Eren asked and Farlan nodded. Levi sat down on the other side of Eren. The brunette turned to look at him with a fabulous smile. "Hey Levi!" Jean joined them as well. "Hey man, where's Connie?" Eren gestured back to the dorm. "Still getting food. I thought I might get to know Levi better while I wait for him."

Farlan's eyes widened behind Eren and he looked at Jean. "Trying again today?" Levi asked and Eren smiled. "I'm trying a different approach." Farlan mouthed 'He is hitting on Levi' to Jean and Jean shrugged. "Do you guys have any classes together?" Farlan asked and Eren turned back to him. "Yeah, we have physics, math and lit together." Farlan nodded before Levi added: "But we don't sit together in any of them."

The four of them ate their lunch together and even though most of Eren's attention was directed at Levi, the group had a great time chatting together about other students and teachers. Levi, Jean and Farlan told Eren about a lot of different crazy things they have done at school and Eren responded by telling them about all the shit he got into at his old school.

"What do you have now?" Farlan asked when they heard the bell. Eren pulled out the printed timetable the school had given him. "I have... math class with Levi." He looked back at the raven. "We had to do that second part of 3.5 as well, right?" Levi nodded as he stood up. He asked for everyone's plates to go drop them off. "Let me come with you." Eren said and stood up. "I never know what math class to go to, so I'm going to stick to you." The other two got up as well. "See if you can eat with us again tonight." Farlan said before he walked towards the school with Jean.

Jean looked at Farlan with a questioning expression. "He was definitely hitting on Levi." Farlan said. "Maybe, so what?" Jean asked him and he shrugged. "I want to see what Levi does. Nobody has hit on him with the intention of dating him." Jean shook his head a bit. "And what if Levi goes for him?" Farlan chuckled. "There's no way Levi would go for him. Or anyone. He's just not that type."

Eren and Levi put down the plates and walked out of the dorm in comfortable silence. After a while, Levi bumped Eren with his elbow. "Still working on your new approach?" Eren smiled. "I'm going to find out what you like, so that when I ask you, you won't be able to resist." Levi chuckled softly. "Smart plan, but no guarantee that it's going to work." Eren shrugged. "Still worth a shot. If it doesn't work, I'll just have to irritate you until you give in." Levi looked up at him. "And what gives you the impression that doing that will work?" Eren smiled. "It worked last time." Levi couldn't really argue with that.

In math class, they did some work Eren hadn't done before and he used it as the perfect excuse to move in next to Levi so that he could explain it to him when they got time in class to work on their homework. Levi enjoyed working with Eren and found himself agreeing to help him out again whenever he got stuck. That's what they did later that night after dinner. Levi stayed at the table they ate at after dinner and waited for Eren to come back with his books. He helped Eren make notes on the work and explained it all to him. He worked out the equations they got for homework with Eren and took his book once they finished so that he could go copy it all over in his book. He definitely wasn't going to do the same homework twice.

"Hey, hold up." Levi stopped and turned back to Eren. "Thanks for the help..." Levi nodded. "No problem." As he turned to walk away, he heard Eren say: "I didn't get to find out what you like." He kept walking. "I like the color green." He couldn't see it, but he knew Eren was smiling. "Then I have the perfect idea." This time Levi stopped to turn back and face Eren. "What type of date can you possibly think out around the fact that I like green? Were you going to suggest we stare at grass this weekend?" Eren smiled a half, lopsided smile. "No, but you can spend the whole weekend staring into my eyes."

Levi flushed. He almost smiled, but pressed his lips together before the upturn of the corners of his mouth became visible. "Not bad. And my mommy always told me pretty boys had nothing upstairs." Eren chuckled softly. "I'm not the pretty one in this room." Levi's cheeks split into a full smile. He turned around to start walking up the stairs. "I'm going to go take a shower to wash off just how cheesy that was." He heard Eren laughing a bit behind him. "So can I take that as a yes?" Levi rolled his eyes, but he was still smiling. "I'd rather stare at grass."

Fifth Attempt:

It turns out that Eren had not been joking about being irritating. Not that he could complain, because he did receive warning in advance.  Levi's morning started with two physics periods and one English lit period. In other words, he had three straight periods of Eren.

Somehow the brunette managed to swap seats with whoever Levi sat with in those classes – even Jean, that fucker – and he didn't have a moment of peace. It wasn't because Eren was actually doing anything other than making the occasional small talk, but because he knew for sure that Eren was going to do something. He had promised to, after all.

He slowly but surely relaxed as time passed and Eren did nothing to indicate that he had any other intention than hanging out with him throughout the day. Lunch eventually rolled by and Eren hung out with them again. Eren was less focused on Levi and more on the group as they hung out on their usually spot. Connie did check up on him during lunch and told him where to find him if he ever needed it.

Levi walked back to the school with Jean and Farlan after Eren headed back to Connie. "How was your evening with Eren last night?" Farlan asked. Levi shrugged. "Nothing special. I had to help him with trig translations." Farlan put his arm around Levi's shoulders. "You know he's flirting with you, right?" Farlan asked him. He hesitated a moment before nodding. "He's being stupid, though. I'm sure he knows I'm not interested." Farlan sighed and smiled. "Famous last words."

When Farlan turned off to go to his class, Jean stopped with Levi. "Did he ask you again?" Levi nodded and smiled a bit. "With a real cheesy pickup line too. He really is a goofball." Jean smiled. "I think you like him." Levi frowned at him. "No, of course not. I'm just seeing how far he's willing to go." Jean's smile only widened. "Yeah, because he doesn't make you smile thinking about his 'cheesy pickup line'. You want to say yes, admit it." Levi huffed. "I don't. And I can't. Farlan would probably flip his shit." Jean put his hand on Levi's shoulder. "Blondie doesn't matter in this. I know you two have some messed up stuff going on, but moving on with someone else might actually help clear all that, you know? And if it makes things worse, you still have me to fall back on." Levi playfully shoved him off of him. "Thanks for the pep talk, doctor Phil."

Levi saw Eren again in math class and gave him back his book. "I have something for you too." Eren said as he took his book and turned to put it in his bag. When he turned back to Levi, he put a flower down in front of him. Levi looked down at it. "A flower?" He asked and Eren smiled. "It always works in the movies, but the question is if it is working on you." Levi smiled a bit and picked up the flower. "You haven't asked anything yet." Eren turned in his seat to face Levi directly. "With this stolen flower," They both laughed softly. "I ask you to go out with me."

Levi looked at Eren and then down at the flower. "Where did you get this?" Levi asked instead of answering. Why was he stalling? "From that garden by the third dorm." Levi smiled a bit. "That's forbidden ground." Eren's eyes widened. "Oh..." Levi brought the flower up to his nose and smelled it. "Close, Greenie, but no cigar." Eren sighed. "Dammit." Levi chuckled softly.

Sixth Attempt:

"Where did you get a flower?" Farlan asked while they walked back to the dorms after school. "Uhm, Eren gave it to me." Levi answered. "Eren? Is he still flirting with you?" Farlan made it sound so casual. "No, he asked me out." That seemed to capture his attention. "He did? What did you say?" Levi smiled a bit. "I told him he would have to try harder." Farlan grinned and put his arm around Levi's shoulders. "Do I need to try harder before I suggest we go up to my room?" Farlan said in a teasing tone and Levi rolled his eyes. "Don't be such an idiot. What do you want to do?" Farlan moved his arm to around Levi's waist and pulled him a bit closer. Levi adjusted his messenger bag so that it wasn't in the way. "I want to do you." Farlan said in a low voice. "But," He sighed. "It's Thursday, meaning Jean will be joining us in fifteen minutes."

The two of them walked up to Farlan's room. "In fifteen minutes we can do the next best thing." Levi said and Farlan looked at him with an arched eyebrow. "And what is that?" Levi slid his hand into Farlan's. "Dry humping." Farlan squeezed Levi's hand. "How barbaric." He said with a smile and pulled Levi to his room a bit faster. "Hey, Levi!" Ace called out ahead of them, but Farlan stopped them by his room. "I call dibs!" He called back to Ace before pulling Levi into his room with him.

"That was fun." Levi commented while putting his bag down. When he saw Farlan's confused expression, he explained. "You turned Ace down in five seconds flat." Farlan smiled a bit and slid his arms around Levi's middle. "You can do what and whoever you want to with the rest of your time, but when you're with me, you are all mine. Got that?" Levi smiled and put his arms around Farlan's neck. Hearing him be possessive over him made the lazy butterflies in his stomach wake and flutter around.

Farlan lead them over to his bed and he laid down with Levi on top of him. They made out and grinded some until Jean knocked on the door. "Get your panties back on, I don't want to see anything that's not mine!" Levi sighed and pulled away from Farlan's lips. Farlan sat up a bit and squeezed Levi's ass a last time before taking his hands away. "We're not doing anything, Horseface!" Levi made himself comfortable on Farlan's lap while Jean came in. "Sure, because that's what nothing looks like." Farlan flipped him off. Levi readjusted his shirt.

The next morning when Levi and Jean were waiting for Farlan outside the dorm, Jean asked him: "Did you tell Farlan that Eren asked you out?" Levi only nodded. "He didn't make a big deal out of it." Jean stood up when he spotted Farlan coming. "I'm glad. Maybe you could say yes next time he asks." Levi smiled a bit and put on his cap. "We'll see." Farlan joined them before they walked to roll call.

Roll call was long as always. Levi thought it was boring until they called out Brandon's name. His name was called out twice and Levi was starting to get nervous. "Are we going to have this year's first runner today?" The teacher asked and both Farlan and Jean gave Levi worried glances. "Who's his roommate?" Levi reluctantly raised his hand and the teacher nodded towards the field. "We already marked you off. Get started." Levi moved out of the crowd and started taking his blazer off. "No, keep it on. Your cap too. Now go." Levi ran about four strides when Brandon showed up. "I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!" Levi stopped to look back and Brandon and the teacher sighed. "Did he check up on you this morning to make sure you got up?" Brandon said a definite "Yes sir!" The teacher sighed. "Ackerman, you're off the hook. Frank, five laps to wake you up." Brandon started running and Levi called out a thanks when he passed him.

The second period Levi had math class and when he got there, Eren was sitting in his seat. "Good morning, Good Looking." Eren greeted with a brilliant smile and the few boys around them turned to pay attention to them. "Eren. What are you doing?" Levi dropped his bag next to his desk.  "I am making a bold stand." Eren proclaimed. "Oh yeah? Well get off of my seat so that I can watch this 'bold stand' of yours." Eren grinned. "No can do, Levi. Not until you agree" Levi frowned. "Agree with what?" Eren leaned onto Levi's table with his elbow. "Agree to go out with me."

That statement made a few more guys join the small group already around them. "What's going on?" One guy asked. "Greenie just asked Levi out." Another answered. "Did he ask Farlan?" One at the back asked and Levi huffed. "This is really funny, Eren, but get off of my seat." Eren shook his head. "Not until you say yes."

"Seriously?" Eren nodded and a few guys laughed. "I'll find somewhere else, then." Levi moved to an empty seat, but the guy next to it put his bag on it. "Sorry, seat taken." Levi glared at the asshole and turned around to find another seat, but the rest of the class was helping Eren instead of him. "Just say yes, Levi." One guy next to Eren said and Levi walked up to them. "No. Why do you care so much about a stupid bet?" He was now addressing Eren who looked up at him with a soft smile.

"It's not about the bet anymore. Monday was about the bet." Levi pressed his lips together for a moment. "Then why are you still doing this?" One of the other boys answered. "Because he wants a season pass!" The class laughed and Levi flushed. "Actually, I just really want to take you on a date." Eren said and Levi felt his face warm up more. "Eren, please. Just – this is stupid. If you don't get up, I swear to God I'm going to sit on you." A few boys whistled and Eren's ears reddened. "I-I, no that's not what, uhm, what I was going for..."

Levi smiled a bit. So Eren was easily embarrassed. "You mean you don't want me to sit on you lap?" He asked to tease Eren. Call it a bit of revenge. "I'll take it if he doesn't want it." A few guys laughed and one clapped his hand down on Eren's shoulder. "Go for it, man. Probably the closest to a yes you're going to get." Red crawled down to Eren's cheeks and he shook his head. "Levi. Please, one date. We can do whatever you want to." Levi felt the storm of butterflies thunder in his stomach. No one has been so set on not getting in his pants. Eren's innocent proposal was flattering, he almost felt as if he didn't deserve it.

The raven sighed to try and play it off cool. "Will you stop being such a shithead if I say yes?" Eren smiled again. "I promise." Levi hesitated for a moment before he nodded. The class cheered and Eren smiled even more. "Thank you." Levi smiled a bit as well. "Uhm, yeah..." Eren stood up and pulled Levi's chair out for him. Levi sat down and Eren pushed him in. "I'll see you at break." Eren left to go sit in his own seat. He watched the brunette walk off to his seat and be congratulated by some of the other guys.

A soft smile spread on his lips. He was going on a date with Eren.

The news spread like wildfire. 'Levi is going on a date!'
He shouldn't have been surprised that Farlan and Jean came sniffing him out the second the bell signaled that it was lunch. "I don't believe it!" Jean exclaimed and Levi tried not to smile. "Yeah... I don't know why I said yes." Jean smiled like an idiot. "Because you have been checking Yeager out since day one." Levi rolled his eyes at Jean.

Farlan finally showed up. "I hear you said yes to Greenie." He said before greeting either of them. Unlike Jean, Farlan wasn't visibly happy about the news. Or visibly upset for that matter. "Mhm, he was being persistent, so I said yes to get him to shut up." Levi bottled up his smile again and shrugged as if his answer was no big deal. "Is it just a date?" Farlan asked and Levi nodded. "I'm hoping for it to lead to another one." Eren said as he stepped up next to Levi.

The group of four started walking to the dorm. "How did you ask him?" Farlan asked. "How did you get him to say yes?" Jean added and Eren chuckled softly. "I didn't give him a choice." Levi nodded. "He didn't want to give me my seat and since the rest of the class was a bunch of dicks, they helped him out." The other two laughed a bit.

"What are you two going to do?" Jean asked and they all looked at Levi. "Uh, I don't care what we do." Farlan moved to stand between Levi and Jean. "You can't say that. Eren's paying –" He looked at Eren and he nodded. "– so you can say you want to do anything." Jean nodded. "Yeah! You guys can go watch a movie, eat at a restaurant, play –" Levi interrupted him. "No, I don't want to go do anything major. In fact, I don't even want to go to the town." He wasn't planning on going on a second date, so he didn't want to make Eren go all out on the first date. It would feel like he was using him and he didn't want to do that to Eren.

Luckily, Eren was there to save him from his stupid friends. "Why don't we just do something here at school, then?" Eren suggested and Jean frowned at him. "Like what?" The four boys fell into the queue to get their lunch. "Like a picnic. Or you could show me around school." Farlan and Jean both looked like they were about to protest, but Levi was quick to answer before they could say anything. "Yes. We can do that. Nothing else, we're just going to hang out at school this weekend." Eren smiled. "Saturday, then. What time?" Levi thought for a moment. "Ten. My room in the third one after the fire extinguisher."

Once they all had their food, they moved to go sit on their usual spot. "So, Eren." Farlan said once they sat down. "I hope you realized how much you scored with this date." Levi almost blushed. Hearing Farlan compliment him warmed his chest. "Yeah." Eren looked at Levi and smile. "If it's with him, it's going to be fantastic." Hearing Eren compliment him nearly had a similar effect. It made him wonder. Farlan hummed. "Take it from someone who knows. Besides, you're in for some fun because most of Levi's dates end with a dick down his throat."

It was the type of joke Levi was used to hearing and it never really bothered him, but now that Eren was there, he was embarrassed. Even if he wasn't trying to impress him. He didn't know how to defend himself, or rather, what do defend himself from. None of Levi's encounters could be considered dates, but it was true that most of them had a dick or two involved. There was no use in lying to Eren either, because he was soon to find out the truth if he didn't already know.

"Oh, no, no, I'm not expecting anything like that. That's not why I asked him." The tips of Eren's ears reddened just like they did in class and Levi wondered if Eren knew about it. Farlan smirked a bit. "Don't worry, you probably wouldn't even need to ask." Jean subtly nudged Farlan in the ribs to tell him to cut it out. Levi felt heat rise up his cheeks and furrowed his brows in embarrassment. He stuffed his mouth with a big bite of his lunch so that he wouldn't be expected to say anything.

Levi actually felt stupid. He shouldn't let it embarrass him so much. "Uhm, no..." Eren awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "I really don't expect you to do anything, Levi. I was hoping that we could just hang out and get to know each other." Eren was looking at Levi and the raven could feel it, but he silently refused to look back at him. He did, however, nod to give Eren some type of reaction so that they could move on.

"Don't take Blondie so seriously." Jean said when the group fell silent. "He's just being stupid. It's his shit way of seeing if we should allow you near Levi. We actually care about our shorty." He threw his arm around Farlan's shoulders who simply nodded along. "We've been together since our first day here." Jean continued to say. "So don't think you can steal him away either."

Fridays after school, the physical training teacher stayed in the gym after school until four thirty to help boys plan out a workout routine and help them exercise. Jean decided to go, because he said he wanted to ask the teacher to make sure he was ready to use higher level equipment. Jean had seriously hurt his arm in the gym at the beginning of grade and has been careful ever since.

Since Jean was going to be busy for at least two hours, Levi and Farlan had some time to be alone. And have sex.

They both knew that was the plan and were both a little excited. "Jean won't be back until we need to start getting ready to go home." Farlan said as they walked up the stairs to the floor with all the grade eleven rooms. "Yeah." Levi followed Farlan as they walked to Farlan's room together. Once inside, Farlan closed the door and put his hands on Levi's hips.

"We can do whatever you want to today." Farlan said by Levi's ear before kissing down his neck. Levi hummed softly and smiled a bit. "We should go take a shower together." He slid his bag off of his shoulder before turning to face the taller blonde. "Together, you say." Farlan slid his arms around Levi's middle and leaned in to kiss him. Levi put his arms around Farlan's shoulders and kissed him back with a bit of a smile. When he spoke again, he did so with his lips still against Farlan's soft and minty ones. "It would be fun."

They separated to gather their shower supplies and agreed to meet in the bathroom as soon as possible. Levi grabbed his towel and a different set of clothes in his room before walking to the bathroom. When he got there, Farlan was already shirtless.

The showers and the rest of the bathroom were separate by a wall with a walkway in the middle. Beyond the wall was the row of showers across from a built in bench. The showers were separated by wall segments, but they had no doors. Because of that, they took one of the showers further away from the walkway so that no innocent pisser saw anything he didn't want to.

Levi dropped his towel and clothes on the bench next to Farlan's and started getting undressed. "Wait." He looked up at the naked blonde with his hands frozen on his open pants. "Make a show out of it." Levi chuckled softly and turned around before he gave an exaggerate hip wiggle as he started pushing his pants and underwear down. He bent forwards to push his ass out a bit and heard Farlan laugh softly. Levi stepped out of his pants and put it down next to his towel.

"Only you can make something like that look sexy." Farlan said and it made Levi laugh a bit. "I have given you a decent show, though." Levi commented while pulling off his tie. Farlan nodded while slowly stroking himself. "I wish you would have let me take a picture of you." Levi shook his head while quickly popping the buttons of his shirt. "People get expelled for taking pictures of them wearing a school uniform like that. I'm already on thin ice as it is, so I'm not taking chances."

Once they were both naked, Farlan turned on the water and quickly adjusted the temperature. When he deemed it perfect, he wrapped his arms around Levi and pulled him in under the water with him. Levi automatically put his arms around Farlan's neck. "I always knew I could get you wet for me." They both chuckled before leaning in to kiss.

Farlan's hands roamed over Levi's skin and reached down to give both of Levi's cheeks a squeeze. Levi's lips were parted and ready when Farlan decided to deepen the kiss and slide his tongue into Levi's mouth. "Mmnh..." The soft sound Levi made when Farlan squeezed his cheeks and pushed him closer was muffled against Farlan's lips. He could feel Farlan's erection pressing into his hip and couldn't wait to feel more of it.

"I love doing this with you..." Levi said softly when they separated to breathe. "I love doing you." Farlan answered and slid his fingers towards Levi's entrance. "Then do me. Make it feel good." Levi pushed his hips back so that Farlan could easily slide his finger into him. It soon became two fingers that scissored in him before a third was added as well. "Are you ready?" Levi nearly whined "Haah, yes..." He tilted his face up to look at Farlan and he kissed Levi again.

While their eyes were closed and their tongues were brushing together, Farlan moved Levi backwards until he was against the shower wall. Levi was hoisted up and instinctively wrapped his legs around Farlan's waist. He could feel Farlan's hot shaft tapping against his inner thighs as Farlan shifted his feet to find a position that was more stable. "I want to feel you in me." Levi said next to Farlan's ear. Farlan held Levi up by gripping on to his shaped thighs. He released one of Levi's thighs to reach past it and line his shaft up with Levi's prepared hole.

Levi groaned when Farlan started pushing into him. The stretch didn't necessarily hurt, but it was still there. Farlan pushed in and leaned more into Levi. The raven's arms came up around the other's torso and pressed his fingers into his soft skin. Oh how he wanted to sink his nails in and scratch long, red stripes down that back, but he knew Farlan didn't like anything of the sort.

Farlan started moving, his hips gong forwards and back to slide his dick in and out of Levi's hole, but something was different. "This isn't working..." Farlan said and Levi nodded. Levi's legs can only spread so far and blocked Farlan from properly pushing in. There was a small triangle gap between their hips and it made a big difference.

Farlan pulled out and moved to return Levi to his feet, but Levi stopped him. He didn't want his face pressed against the wall, not when he was with Farlan. "Move my leg up." Farlan did as Levi said and hooked Levi's one leg over his shoulder. Levi used that leg to help him move the other one up as well while Farlan held on to his hips to keep him up. Farlan had to lean forwards a bit to support them and Levi had to grab on to the top of the wall segment, but it worked much better. Levi's ass was now flush against Farlan's hips and he could feel his slightly pulsing shaft where it was now nestled in between his cheeks. Farlan groaned softly and slowly grinded his hips into Levi as he adjusted his grip on Levi's thighs that were now by his chest.

Levi had to reach under himself and help align Farlan's shaft, but it was glorious having him fully sink into him. "Ah... Farlan, mmnh." Levi grabbed at Farlan's forearm with the hand that wasn't holding on to the wall. His moans started echoing through the empty bathroom when Farlan started moving his hips. With the new position came a new angle and it was damn near maddening how close the head of Farlan's shaft was to Levi's prostate. Levi tried rocking back, but there was little he could do in the position he was in.

When it finally became unbearable, Levi cried out and clenched around Farlan. "Fuck, Farlan, please - !" The blonde kept thrusting with a bit of a smirk on his lips. His hair clung to his face from the water and framed it. "Ask for it." Levi whined. "Please..." He pleaded, his head pressed back against the wall. "I need it, please, make me feel good!" Farlan moved his hands to Levi's hips and adjusted them a bit before driving into him with new force. Levi moaned loudly when he finally got what he wanted and came on his chest in bursts of white.

Farlan followed a few thrusts later, releasing with a loud groan and tightening his grip on Levi's hips to the point that it was almost painful. Levi was set back on his feet and they both washed themselves up before Farlan turned off the water.

"Where are you going?" Farlan asked while Levi wrapped his towel around himself after drying off. "I need a drink. I'm going to the basins." Farlan nodded and stood in the shower while he dried himself off. When Levi stepped out of the shower, he noticed something from one of the other showers. He was about to inspect it when Eren stepped out, still fully dressed.

"Levi!" He greeted cheerfully. "What are you doing here?" Levi asked while making sure his towel was secured around his waist. Why doesn't he want Eren to see him like this? "I checked out the gym after Jean told me about it, but I decided to cut it short. There would be less people in there this weekend." Levi nodded. Eren was in his gym clothes and a bit sweaty, so he definitely got to work out some. "How long have you been here?" Levi asked and Eren smiled a tight lipped smile. "A little while." Levi didn't know what to say. "Oh..."

Farlan stepped out behind Levi. "Who's here?" He saw Eren and smiled. "Hey. Did you go to the gym?" Eren nodded. "But now I need a shower." Levi looked at Eren. He knew. There was no way he didn't. "We need to get going in any ways." Levi said and turned to quickly walk back to the shower he came from. He heard Farlan and Eren greet each other while he furiously dried himself off again. He was pissed, mainly at himself, because of course Eren had to hear them.

Then he realized; what about their date? Was it still on? Or did this make Eren change his mind. He pulled on his clothes to go ask Eren, but heard water start running. He decided against it, accepted defeat and waited for Farlan to finish so that they could go.
