Untitled Part 1

Chapter 3

(Levi's POV)

I was just about to finish putting my books in my locker when I saw a figure standing next to me out of the corner of my eye.

I turned and saw it was Eren. The only way I remembered him from middle school was his big green eyes. "Oh hey German boy." I said to him. He immediately turned and ran away as soon as I said that. When he was out of sight, I saw his coconut head friend come out from behind a wall. When the hell did he get here?

I gave him a confused look and glanced towards the room that Eren ran to. Armin started cracking up, trying not to burst out laughing.

"The hell?" I shouted from across the hall. I tried to sound manly with my now deep voice. I often got picked on in middle school because of my height and squeaky voice.

"You'll know soon enough." He answered back strangely and started laughing like a crazy son of a bitch and walked away.

(Armin's POV)

I followed Eren into the cafeteria. I knew he still liked Levi! Eren has always been easy to see through, ever since he was a kid. That's how I figured out he liked Levi in 7th grade.

~flashback to the beginning of 7th grade at MMS~

Eren and I were in line at lunch to get our food. Suddenly, in the middle of the cafeteria, we see three tall 8th graders towering over Levi. He looked up at them, seemingly not phased at all.

They appeared to be laughing and making jokes about Levi's lack of height. I looked over at Eren to see him frowning at them.

I knew what he was thinking. He wanted to be the big hero and make the 8th graders get away from Levi. I elbowed Eren to get his attention.

"Hey, he's fine. He can defend himself." I said while looking into his eyes, but it took him a couple seconds to look at me.

"Uh-um yeah I know....." He responded nervously. I connected the dots.

"Why are you looking at him like that? Are you worried?" I said, dragging out the 'o' in 'worried'. When he looked at me again, I winked at him. He caught on.

"Armin! Whatever you're thinking, it's not true." He stated and took a plate of spaghetti from the counter. I decided to let it go. For now.

~Flashback to mid 8th grade at MMS~

It was last period of the day. The only class Eren and Levi had together. Also known as the only class Eren could drool over Levi.

I shook Eren from his daze on Levi, "Eren, quit looking at him like that. Pay attention to the-"

"Care to share something, boys?" Mr. Ral turned to us. Mine and Eren's eyes went wide as we looked at each other.

I saw Eren take a peak to see if Levi was looking at us. He was not; he was drawing in his notebook as usual.

"Eren! Do you need to leave?" Mr. Rivard spoke louder, which actually caught Levi's attention for once.

"Oh-um" Eren swallowed nervously, "N-no we're fine...." Luckily, Mr. Rivard just 'hmph'-ed at us and turned back around. Eren huffed and looked down at his notebook.

I looked over at Levi who was, surprisingly, still focused on Eren. Once Levi noticed me, he tensed up. I furrowed my eyebrows as he averted his eyes in a split second. Weird.

After class, I told Eren I'd catch up with him at lunch. He left the room before me so it was just Levi and I.

He looked over at me and sighed, "I already know what you're gonna ask me. Just shut your trap to Eren."

"I will if you tell me why you were looking at him like that. Are you interested? I have his num-" I insisted but he cut me off.

"No!" He said defensively, "I'm not interested. I'll tell you why if you promise to not tell anyone, especially him."

I nodded furiously. 'Bout to get my friend a lover! Just kidding..... haha..... maybe.

Levi stepped closer and scratched his head nervously, "He has nice eyes. Now you swear not to say a thing?"

I nodded furiously again, "Yep!" And I watched as he stomped out the door with his steel toe boots.

Waiting until he left, I jumped up and squealed to myself. I have to tell Eren!

~End of flashbacks~

And I did. When I told Eren what happened, he didn't believe me at first but then he was all 'what?!?!' and 'wOAH!'. It was kinda funny seeing my best friend get feelings for a guy. And to have him go to the same high school! Now that's a coincidence.

(Eren's POV)

I tried to hide from Armin for as long as possible. Maybe I'll catch up to him in the hallways later and he'll have forgotten about it. Now all I have to do is sneak around this counter and-

I've been caught.

But not by Armin, but by Sasha. She immediately tackled me, "Eren!! I missed you! Have you seen Connie around? Have you seen all the food here?? Have you-"

"Sasha I will give you my lunch money for the rest of the week if you walk away right now without saying another word." I offered her. I knew she'd take it, and I was right.

She put her index finger and thumb together and slid it across her lips, as if to say her lips were sealed. Then, she scurried off as if she hadn't even seen me.

Great! Now if I could just-

For fucks sake......

I saw another person's shadow standing behind me. I was too afraid to look behind me and see that yellow coconut head. I looked down and tilted my head to the side for a moment. Wait, those aren't Armin's shoes. What the-

"What're you hiding from?" A deep voice spoke. I could recognize it from a mile away. I shivered after he said that. His voice really did change. Not gonna lie, it's pretty damn attractive if you ask me.

"May I help you, Levi?" I asked him politely. The only actual reason we were being so friendly to each other was because he's one of the few that came here from MMS. I mean, I think that's why he's being so kind to me.

"Mmm yes," he said holding out the 'm', "You can tell me what you're doing behind a cafeteria counter." He questioned. I felt like I was being interrogated. He just has an intimidating vibe; he always has.

"Can you just crouch lower so no one sees you?!" I yelped once I saw a flash of yellow tread by.

"Eren what the-"

"SHHH!"

"Oh don't you shh me Jae-"

Right as he was about to kneel to get up, i covered his mouth with my hand and we fell backwards on the floor, him on the bottom.

His eyes went wide. He looked at his hand and then back at me, stunned. On the palm of his hand, was sticky left over pasta that someone dropped.

Levi looked back up at me, and he could see the fear in my eyes. He looked absolutely furious. The one thing I forgot, before pinning him to the floor, was that he would kick anyone's ass if they got him dirty.

"L-Levi...." My voice quivered out. His face turned slightly red for a moment, but then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He sat up and grabbed my wrist gently, not as if he was struggling to not tear it off and beat me with it, because that's what I was expecting. Instead, Levi moved my hand away from his mouth and put his index finger to his lips to tell me he'd be quiet.

I huffed nervously, but a second later, it all went to shit. Levi's gaze went from me to something behind me. He looked up and up, as if someone were standing there.

When I turned around, of course there was Armin with raised eyebrows. Well shit. I was so closed to getting away with it too. Instead, I got caught in the worst position I could've been in.
