She remained quiet for a minute, processing what she had just heard. Her thought process was slowed from being so tired and the news she had just received slowed it even more.

TJ swore he could even see a faint bar across her forehead that said processing.

When the news finally hit she jumped up from her chair. "Really!" She yelled, "That's great," she said enthusiastically as a smile appeared across her face. "I'm so happy for you guys," she said sitting back down trying to regain her composure. Then she quickly turned around to the teachers who were looking at her from her sudden outburst. "Did you guys know?" She asked surprised.

They just nodded and held back their laughter. Hanji, on the other hand, was trying so desperately hard not to blurt out her excited squeals. As her fangirl nature was beginning to show through her failing blank face.

She turned back to her brother and Thomas and smiled, "congrats guys," she said with a bright smile. Her face went serious and a dark clouded atmosphere appeared over her for a minute, "Thomas you take care of my brother you hear me," she said with a breath stealing glare that made Thomas wonder if she and Levi were somehow related. When Thomas nodded she went back to her normal happy self.

"Mr. Rivaille beat you to the threatening," TJ said laughing his butt off at his sister. It was the first time he saw her get this serious.

She turned around to look at Levi he smiled and nodded. She smirked and gave him a thumbs up with a slight nod of the head before turning back around.

After that, it wasn't long before more students started to enter the room. When TJ notice another student had entered he pulled his hand away from Thomas out of the habit of having to hide who he was.

Thomas looked at TJ who gave him a sad and panic looked back realizing what he did. He whispered, "It's okay if you don't want to be out to everyone I don't mind," he said resting his head on his hands giving him a loving and reassuring smile.

TJ nodded, he didn't really care about being out to some people, but he could never be sure especially when his parents might have to come to the school. You never know who would let it slip. He just needed time before he could come out and be who he is more publicly.

The rest of the students filed in a few were late per usual, but Levi started the class like normal. Hanji ran to her room to prepare for her class that she would have next period.

The class wasn't that boring considering that Levi tends to try and make his class interesting despite having to lecture for part of the time. He gave his class some vocab words, but to ensure they actually try and learn them gave them a reason to want to learn them. He told them that at any point in a class if they were to used any of these words correctly they would earn one point per word. The class with the highest number of points would win a pizza party at the end of the semester. He had done this back when he taught Eren English in his freshman year. His class still held the highest score of 517 points. They really wanted to make sure they won that pizza party.

His classes went by relatively quickly with no real problems that disrupted the flow of the class. Lunch came quicker than usual and before they knew it the day was already over. They were left after school feeling like the day had flown by, or at least that's how the teachers felt. Alex's insisted that the day had dragged on forever, but that could just be her tiredness talking.

TJ and Thomas said that they had agreed with the teachers and insisted that they thought the classes went by too fast so much so they almost wanted to spend more time in them, or maybe what they really wanted was more time to spend with each other.

They sat in their chairs in the now empty classroom holding hands. The only other in the class were the teachers and Alex. So first chance TJ got he reached for Thomas's hand which earned a smiled from the other boy.

Eren couldn't help but look at the new couple and think of how touchy feely they would be in the first few weeks. Everyone always told him that that stage in the relationship doesn't last long so enjoy it while you can, but Levi and him never really lost their cute cuddly stage. Sure it happened less frequently than it did back then, but it never completely disappeared like he had seen in other couples.

After about an hour of watching the new couple cuddle with one another and hold hands so long that she thought they were conjoined Alex decided it was time for her to head home. Sure she loved her brother and supported him but she couldn't help but think that the mushy lovey dovey crap was getting a little annoying to her. Especially since it was her brother, she loved seeing him happy, but she thought he could use a little privacy. She knew that he wanted to spend time with Thomas, but he would keep bringing the conversation back to her to keep her from being the third wheel. She didn't really mind hell she would have pulled out one of her books if he didn't keep her in the conversation. She would have been just as happy doing that as talking to them, but she was tired and wanted to take a nap anyways.

She was going to inform her brother she was going to start walking home when she stood up she checked her phone for the time realizing it must have still been on silent because there were over ten messages left on her phone. "Mom's here," Alex said panicking a little when she saw them.

TJ looked over at her with panic before quickly pulling out his own phone. "Shit, shit, shit," he muttered panicking knowing they were surely in trouble for taking so long while their mom was waiting for over ten minutes. His phone was still silenced too and he saw over twelve messages on his phone.

"Are you okay?" Thomas asked a little worried when he heard TJ's breath speed up.

TJ looked up at him with panicked eyes. "I-I don't know," TJ said panicked before putting his head in his hands. He completely forgotten about his mother until now.

Thomas went to comfort him but froze when he saw TJ's nails. The once painted nails were scrubbed raw. It looked like while someone was trying to remove the nail polish that they were doing so in a violent rush. 'How did I not see this earlier?' Thomas asked himself feeling guilty that. 'His jacket was covering the whole time...'Thomas remembered, 'but still, that's no excuse I should have noticed.' He thought disappointed in himself.

He wrapped his arms around TJ, "hey it's going to be okay," Thomas said trying to help as his breathing speed up. He looked up at his sister who had the same panicked expression.

The teachers quickly ran over noticing the student's distress. "What's wrong?"' Eren said kneeling next to TJ as Levi did the same with Alex.

"We're screwed," is all TJ managed to breath out.
