Lunch was possibly more of a torture to Eren. Levi was talking to Armin about God-knows-what on the other side of the cafeteria while Eren was sitting with all his friends at their usual table. Jean and Marco were in some kind of conversation about Spanish class. Mikasa was studying for a class in her next period. Sasha and Connie were having an eating contest with Ymir and Christa betting on it. And Eren was just sitting there and watching them. Ignored by his friends.

He would go sit with Hanji in a situation like this but the brunette was volunteering in the library today so she wasn't eating lunch here today. Or he would talk to Levi but he was talking with Armin. So he was hopelessly lost and bored.

~Over to Levi and Armin~

"No fucking way. I am not doing that shit."

"Please Levi?" Armin was begging at this point. Begging Levi to talk to his birth-father with Armin about his grade. As if Levi could help Armin dig himself out of this grade hole. "You're his son! He might listen to you."

Levi snorted and shook his head. "That man fucking despises me. He could give less of a horse shit about me. Hence why we don't live together."

For a smart guy Armin was being pretty fucking dense. Was the 'C' grade getting to his head? Is he now going to act like a dumbass? God knows really, if Levi believed in said entity. The last time he talked to his father was on the first day of school and it earned him detention and tore a bigger rift between them. In all honesty Levi thinks he's doing this to Armin on purpose. His father has seen him hang out with Eren and his friends and assumed giving the blonde coconut a bad grade was a way to make Levi more pissed off. Well, it isn't. The only thing that is pissing him off is Armin's begging.

"But you're his son! It must count for something!" Big blue puppy dog eyes were staring up at him now. Not. Working.

"It fucking doesn't. One bad grade isn't going to block your chances from ever becoming a doctor. You're slowly killing yourself from your need to be perfect. Chill the fuck out." Levi looked over at the table where he usually sat. Everyone was doing something normal for them except for Eren. The kid was staring over at them, probably waiting for them to come back over. Levi liked this kid, there was no question about it. The brat had managed to wiggle his way into Levi's life and he's pretty sure he'll never be able to cut Eren out of it. But while he does have ''feelings'' towards the brunette he also had ''feelings'' towards another person... all the way on the West coast.

"If you like him so much why don't you tell him? Date him or something?" Levi looked back at Armin, rolling his eyes.

"I don't fucking "like" him you dumbass blonde." This was fucking hysterical to Armin as he started laughing much harder than needed.

"You're in denial," Armin managed to stop laughing at him. "You like Eren and we all see it. I know about that little kiss. You aren't tricking anybody with your "I am emotionless and made of stone and I'm not capable of love" act. We all saw you beat the shit out of Eren's ex-boyfriend. We all see how you're attached to him whenever you're in the same room. And we all know Eren wants to be with you. So why don't you just admit it and date him?"

"You wouldn't understand my damn reasons and its nobody's business. So keep your nose out of it."

Armin sighed, knowing he's been defeated. The duo walked back over to the table, Eren instantly perking up.

Goddamnit he's fucking adorable and it isn't fair.

Armin joined Jean and Marco in their Spanish conversation. Levi doesn't understand why Armin gets on his case about liking Eren when it is so obvious he likes Jean. Maybe everyone else can't see it but it is so obvious to Levi that it hits like a brick to the face. But its like a chasing train. Armin is after Jean while Jean is after Marco while Marco is oblivious to anything going on around him. Levi sees why they call him "Freckled Jesus". He's a saint.

So what did you and Armin talk about?

"Shit." Great answer Levi. Eren laughed at him and typed something out. Damn his laugh. All cute and shit.

Sounds like a great topic... So what're you doing after school? I mean, I know you have a ton of projects and stuff to do but I was wondering if you wanted to hang out? Maybe at my place? Or not at all? Totally fine with me.

Once again: adorable.

"Sure brat, why not? I finished all my work anyway."

Eren smiled wider. This made him happy. He wanted to have a more personal talk with Levi. He knew the Junior felt something for him but wasn't admitting it. He wanted to fully find out why. Because so far none of this has been fair to him.

Absolutely none.
