Another week had passed, and Eren and Armin had somehow been dragged into an audition for the musical which ended in a rather unpleasant encounter with Jean upon seeing that they were due for call-backs to decide who got the role.

Eren had skipped free-period basketball training to go and watch the auditions, knowing full well that Coach Levi (the small boy from the party - Eren had laughed upon realising that his coach was simply an older boy, and his laughter had doubled when he recognised who it was) would have his ass over his absence, yet Eren could not find it within him to care.

All he wanted at that moment was to hear Armin sing again.

After a while of watching the rather awful auditions from behind a row of seats near the back, Eren felt a weight beside him and turned to find Armin knelt down in the same awkward position as himself.

 “Eren, what the hell are you doing? Are you here to sign up?” Armin had asked, enthusiasm set deep in his voice; it was clear that he wanted to hear Eren sing as well. He was still wearing Eren’s jacket, and pretty much owned the thing after a week of wearing it every day.

Eren had no complaints.

Once the auditions were done and the teacher called for any final auditions, Armin had impulsively volunteered but was told he was too late.

The two of them sat in the theatre for a while afterwards, and when the boy on the piano, Bertholdt, dropped his sheet music; they ran to help.

They somehow ended up singing together again, and when they turned to leave, the teacher from earlier was there with a slip of paper; telling them to learn the songs in time for the call-backs.

Eren’s friends had not taken to it lightly, and had gotten angry over the fact that Eren’s part in the musical had encouraged the other students to do things that apparently “weren’t their thing”.

His friend, Reiner, was being ridiculed by the other members of the basketball team for his fondness of baking, however Eren found no problem in that.

That was only the beginning of the week.

Towards the end of the week, Armin and Eren had been subjected to ridiculous amounts of comments concerning how they acted towards one another.

“Come on Armin! You have a massive hard-on for him and you know it!” The boy with the shaved head, Connie, shouted. They were sat in the cafeteria at a table with all their friends, and once the conversation dimmed, Connie took his chance and averted them to a very dangerous topic.

Mikasa growled and kicked the boy under the table, however the volume of his statement had caused the students occupying the nearby tables to turn and stare. Armin sank lower in his seat, embarrassed beyond belief.

“Guys, for the last time we’re just friends!” Eren sighed, annoyed with constantly having to correct his friends on this matter.

Armin felt like crying. He had been asked about his relationship with Eren almost every day, and he began to worry that his feelings for Eren were obvious.
