Red Strings Of Fate.

Chapter 2

A beeping sound of an alarm went off loudly, instantly waking Eren up. Eren groaned before reaching for his alarm and slamming the button to stop the beeping. He sat at the edge of his bed and rubbed his eyes before going to the bathroom to washup.

He looked into the mirror and gasped. He was a tired mess. Eyes tired and gloomy, hair messed up and all over the place, face pale and sad. He shook his head and quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Then he ran down to have some breakfast. All he had was a piece of toast and a bowl of cereal. After washing his plate, he grabbed his school bag and went out.

"Another day of school." Eren just sighed. "Alright its already Friday, I can handle this." Eren convinced himself he'll survive through the day and positively nodded.

When he got there, he saw Armin standing outside and waiting for him. Eren waved and got Armin's attention. "Were you waiting for me?" Armin smiled and nodded. "Yeah I felt like waiting for you so I did and woah are you okay? You look like a mess." Eren just cracked a small smile. "Insomnia last night." Armin let out a understanding 'ah' and didn't question further.

They both went inside to go for class. As usual they both sat together in the middle row. Eren looked around. "Hey where's that boyfriend of yours? Aren't you guys always like attached to the hip?" Armin blushed when he heard that. "W-What are you talking about Eren. We aren't that attached to the hip okay. Oh and Jean said he'll be coming late. You know how he is with punctuality." Eren let out a scoff. He totally agreed. That horse-face was never on time for anything.

Soon the day in school passed by rather smoothly. Not much homework, no harsh remarks from Jean, no fights with Jean and no arguements with Jean. Perfect.

The bell rang and Eren was overjoyed. Finally school was over. He bid goodbye with Armin and began his journey home. After about 5 minutes, he passed by the coffee shop again.

"Oh right. Yesterday I said I wanted to try this place. Might as well go now." Eren walked in and almost at an instance, a wave of incredible smelling coffee hit him. He nearly drooled at the smell.

He walked up to the counter to find a rather short but fit guy leaning against the wall behind him with an expressionless face. Eren saw the guy's name tag. Levi. Eren thought he looked kinda scary at first but the longer he stared, he realized the guy was actually rather good-looking.

"Hey brat are you done staring. What do you want to order?" Levi rolled his eyes. "U-Uh no I'm sorry um can I have a cup of coffee?" Eren felt his cheeks burning up. This is so embarrassing. Eren mentally slapped himself.

"Name?" Levi didn't even look at Eren and waited for his response. "Uh Eren." Levi suddenly made eye contact with Eren. He looked somewhat shocked and surprised. Eren was confused. "Um is everything alright?" Levi stopped staring and quickly wrote down Eren's name on the cup. "Yeah everything's fine. Just ignore that." Then Levi walked to the kitchen to prepare the coffee.

Levi walked to the kitchen with the cup in his hand. Eren? He looked at his palm and saw the name "Eren Jaeger" written on it. Could this be the Eren I was looking for, for the past 3 years? He bit his lip and filled the cup up with coffee. No, it was impossible. He must be another Eren. After all he had been searching for 3 years and suddenly one pops out of the blue when he started a coffee shop? Levi shook his head and went out again.

He saw Eren awkwardly standing by the counter waiting for his drink. "Here brat. Sorry it took so long the machine was stuck." Eren eyed Levi for a minute. "Stop calling me that and thank you. Levi." Eren gave Levi a michevious smile but Levi just scoffed. "Well you came in staring at me and you look like a brat so hence the name. And wow you can read how old are you?" Eren looked extremely offended. "Hey! I'm 18 alright and yes I know how to read." Levi let out a small laugh. "Sure whatever helps you sleep at night. Brat." Eren glared at Levi for the last time before walking out the door.

"Hey don't forget to come back alright?" Eren looked back into the shop and saw Levi wiping the counter table. "Yeah sure." Levi gave a small nod and Eren walked out. He tasted the coffee and it was pure heaven. That guy clearly had the talent for making coffee. Oh he'll come back alright. Who wouldn't when they serve such excellent coffee?
