The School Life {Ereri fanfic}

Chapter 7: Bitter sweet Love

"Levi...I...I..." I sighed. I couldn't figure out what I should do or say. I breathed in and let whatever my mind had to say about it.

"We need some time to get to know each other or something. We obviously know nothing. This was obviously a game and I was your pawn. That's all it was. Even if it was love, it started from a joke, and I don't want any part of that." I leaned my head against the cold metal and closed my eyes. Now I had to make it through Levi's screaming and begging, which would only make the situation worse. He hurt me so now he has to deal with it.

I felt regret as well though. I had fallen for this in the first place. It was my fault. It was my fault for getting involved. I also feel...hatred. Not just for Jean though, a little for Levi as well. I stopped for a moment and awaited Levi's answer. I didn't look at him, didn't even look his way.

"Okay." I heard him almost too clearly.

"Wh-what?" I looked up at him, I looked in his clouded eyes.

"Okay. I'll give you some space." He got up from the floor boards and his boots clicked as he walked to open the shed's door.

"See you around...Jaeger." His shoulder hunched forwards and his hair spun as he closed the door gently behind him so it barely made a sound. His action was gentle, yet his voice full of violence and anger. But I heard heart brake as well. I knew it too well.

I stared at the door, almost waiting for it to open back up. I didn't want to be left here with no goodbye.

I was in a shed.

I'm pathetic. I'm back to square one. I'm the little wimp, Eren Jaeger. Just like 2 days ago on the first day of school. This all happened too fast anyways. It wasn't real, and it probably never will be either.

So I sat down. Cried. Did all the things I probably should have done on the first day.

But then I remembered something. A memory I wanted to keep away from me, especially right now. Just a few hours ago Levi and I were together. He was impressed by my room, he hugged me, he even kissed me, and I felt wanted.

But I'm confused. Was that part just a play? Is he manipulating me? This is why I can't be with him. Since we were little he knew I couldn't trust anyone. Only Mikasa. She babied me, and yes that makes me weak, but at least then I knew I was safe. When my mother died, she was there. When my father had to go on business trips and rarely ever came back, she was there. At school, she was there. She's always here. Levi never will.

I paused.

When Jean started running after us, Levi turned around. It was a blur, since I was running too fast, but I faintly remember it. Levi punched Jean and kicked him to the ground. Blood poured from his nose and he stumbled up, trying to get himself to walk to his house. Levi didn't even grimace. He smiled...to me.

Levi was there for me.

I jolted up and ran out the door. I started to run across the street when I heard my name.

"Eren. I'm over here. " Levi walked over to me and pulled my wrist.

I couldn't speak but I mumbled and hoped that Levi could hear.

"L-L-Levi. You...w-were here. Here a-all along." I cried and Levi pulled me into his chest. I placed my head into the crook of his neck shakily, and cried. I did what I had to do. I cried. I cried for my mother and father, I cried for my sister, I cried for Jean even, and most importantly, I cried for Levi.

He rubbed his hand in circles against my back and kissed my cheek and smeared my tears.

"We have a bitter sweet love, Eren. Bitter sweet."
