Fall (Ereri)

Chapter 5

    

        "Hey.. is your name Eren?"

        My train of thought broke as an unfamiliar voice entered the room. "Who the hell are you? Why are in here?! and how do you know my name?" I asked who ever was in the room with me.

        The guy who stood behind me was slightly taller than me, he had light brown hair with the sides and back trimmed shorter and of a darker hue. He laughed a little to himself.

        "One)  My name is Jean, I  live across from you.

        Two) You left your door open, dumbass, and I wanted to ask you something.

        Three) I heard Levi say your name.. Do those answers answer your questions?"

        I grumbled, fairly annoyed that someone just randomly barged in my apartment. "At least knock next time, asshole" I mumbled under my breath. Jean sighed loudly, "anyways, I was going to ask you if you know, you and Levi had a thing..because he's like.. him."

        I was a bit caught off by what he had asked, but I answered anyway, "we're friends, and what do you mean by him?"

        Jean looked as if he was gonna have some trouble telling me. "Levi. I've talked to him a few times and I've known him for a while now. I know that he never comes out of his apartment unless he's with professor Smith,  or  going to class... I honestly think that you two have something going on, like he invited you into his apartment, and he's literally the most antisocial person I have ever met!"

    I didn't want to believe Jean, but somewhere from the back of my head a voice called out, telling me to believe him, so I did. Maybe Levi was really antisocial, and just an unapproachable person altogether.

        "Jean are you in here?" another unfamiliar voice called before I could respond to Jean. Jean and I looked back at the same time, in the middle of my doorway stood a man, slightly taller than Jean, black short hair parted in the middle, his eyes a dark shade of brown, and cheeks covered in freckles.  Jean smiled as if that person had made his day by just simply being there. He walked up to me with a wide smile on his face. "Hi, my name is Marco Bodt. I'm dating and living with Jean." He said as he held out his hand for me to shake. I instantly envied their relationship. I kept thinking about Levi, how he made me feel. He made me feel like Jean when Marco walked in the room; happy.

        Marco seemed to be pretty nice, Jean didn't deserve him. I vaguely smiled as I grabbed his hand and shook it politely, "My names Eren Jaeger. I just moved in."

        Marco looked around at the cluttered area, then back at me. "We could help you unpack after classes at some point this week. Only if you'd like." 

        I smiled and nodded, "Yeah that'd be great, thanks!" Jean scowled, and looked at Marco. Marco elbowed him in the ribs and whispered,  "Jean! Eren is nice!" 

         Jean looked up at me, I smirked. "Yeah, Jean! I am nice!"

        Marco laughed a little before asking me if I needed a little help finding out where my classes are. I said yes and he told me to get ready quickly. I spent the next thirty seconds getting properly ready for the day, I grabbed my supplies bag and was out the door with Marco and Jean. We later found ourselves in a large crowded building. Jean split off from us and followed his schedule. Marco and I had the same schedule so we basically stuck together throughout all of the classes. It was almost like highschool, same boring lectures but in a larger room and a sea of unknown faces. 

-a week later-

        At the end of the day, Marco, Jean and I headed back to my apartment. I had almost forgotten about what happened with Levi a week ago. For around three and a half hours we had finished putting together my apartment. And now, we found ourselves sitting on three bean bags in the middle of the small living room. We all looked exhausted and hungry. "Thank you so much!" I looked at Marco and Jean tiredly smiling.

         "Any time, Eren... Hey.. I'm starving, whatdya say I order some pizza and get some friends over here.. you could use some friends!"

        I smiled and nodded. I liked pizza and Marco was right, I did need some friends, it'd be nice to know more than three people. Marco whipped out his phone and called the pizza place down the street, followed by sending a mass text. "Who are you all inviting?" Jean asked, curiosity written across his face. Marco sighed, "Oh you know, Reiner,Bert, and the lesbians.."

        "Lesbians?" I asked, I was surprised at how many people  were interested in the same gender. "Ymir and Historia.. You'll know Ymir is a lesbian as soon as you see her.." I nodded. 

        "Heyyyyyyyyy.... Eren.. We did a lot for you today, and I left my phone in my apartment, it's on the kitchen table.. my legs huurrt can you go grab it? the doors unlocked.." Jean complained. I looked over at Marco and he just shrugged. I sighed loudly as I stood up and walked to my open door and into the hallway. That's when I saw him. The blonde prince charming everyone seemed to know except me. He knocked at Levi's door. Everyone was right, he was tall, blonde, and extremely buff.

        Erwin Smith. I envied him.
