Scar (Ereri Fanfiction)

Lunch

Lunch was probably one of my least favorite periods of the entire day. I had no one to even sit with today since Petra went home early with some sort of sickness. So now I'll have to sit at my usual table but all alone this time. It's not like Petra and I always talked but it was nice to have at least one person with me. I'd rather have one person who doesn't talk net to me than no one at all. But apparently that's not how my day shall go.

I bolted through the large cafeteria doors and to the back of the cafeteria. Suprisingly it was cleaner back here than it was at the front, most likely because no one ever sits back here. Less people equals less germs. Perfect for me. I sat down on top of the table and watched the sea of people in front of me. Happy couples holding hands and kissing at the tables. Friends joking around with playful shoves. Loud laughter filled the room and the smell of school hamburgers filled my head. I felt dizzy, lightheaded. The bright lights seemed a bit too bright now. It was over-stimulatng me to the max right now.

I groaned and my head fell between my knees as a feeling of nauseu washed over me. 'Keep it together Levi.' I mentally pep talked myself until the vomit feeling faded. I hated when this happened. Usually I didn't feel like vomitting but the rest always happened. My therapist says it's a part of my anxiety. Weird I know.

Just then I felt someone touch my shouder and I nearly jumped out of my skin. I was prepared to punch whoever it was but when I looked up it was Eren Jaeger standing front of me. "Um...Hi." Was he seriously talking to me? Is he an idiot? I must've looked odd to him because he looked down nervously. "I have no one else to sit with and since we're chemistry partners and all I thought we could get to know each other-"

"No." I interjected. "I don't want to get to know you Jaeger. And you don't want to even get to know me or become associated with me. You want to get somewhere in this school? Don't hang out with the kid with the giant fucking scar on his face."

I must've shocked him into silence because he looked at me but didn't say anything. His eyes moved down my face and I knew he was looking at my scar. So why wasn't I mad at him for looking. I always got pissed when people looked or stared too long at it. But he wasn't judging it. He more or less looked curious about it, as if he wanted to know why I had it. Nobody ever even seems interested as to why I have it.

"Sit down."

"What?" He blinked a few times, looking suprised at what I said.

"You heard me brat, sit down. Since you seem to want to destroy your high school life I might as fucking well let you."

A wide smile spread across his face as he sat on the table next to me. He has a great smile. One that isn't fake but it is purely genuine. Very few people smile like that and very little times will you fine someone with that smile.

Then it really hit me: I was falling for this kid after only a day. But he's younger than me. Sure it's only a year but he's still younger. And he's probably straight anyway.

Snap out of it Levi. HE WILL NEVER LIKE YOU.

"Thanks...Levi. What's your last name? In every class when they call role they never say a last name."

I shrugged, my nose wrinkling in disgust as I saw a student stick chewing gum in what I assume to be his friend's hair. These people are so distasteful. "I don't have a last name. Never have and never will." I looked over at a table that was in the far front corner of the cafeteria. It was Erwin and his gaggle of goons. There was a reason I sat this far back and this was the other part of it. Lunch was normally one of the only times Erwin didn't bother me so no one else did either.

"You don't have a last name? Is it some kind of customary thing?" I glanced over and looked to see if Eren was joking. He wasn't. He had the cutest and most curious look on his face, like a toddler or young puppy. I chose this moment to not use a smartass comment.

"No, I just don't. Personal reasons." Just then the lunch bell rang, signaling the end of lunch hell. He sighed and jumped off the table. "You have Civics next?" Eren nodded and followed me. Yup, definitely a puppy.
