Chapter 8 - Stick by Me

Levi woke up to Eren shaking him. "We're going to be late!" She explained as soon as she saw he was awake. At first Levi was confused on how he ended up here, but then he remembered everything, one memory in particular standing out.

Levi stared at Eren, until she repeated her earlier words, trying to get him to move. "We're going to be late! Hurry up! My mum has made your lunch and Farlan dropped off your bag earlier, so don't worry about all that."

Once Levi was up and ready, they left for school with Mikasa. It would have seemed completely normal to anybody looking, except for the fact that a certain over-protective sister kept sending death glares over to Levi. However, Eren soon realised and told her to stop.


The school day started off normally for Eren; homeroom, class, class, another class and then first break. First break marked the begging of the not-so-normal.

As soon as he heard the bell ring, Levi immediately went to find Eren. He rushed past everyone, not even bothering to acknowledge them like he usually did.

When he finally found Eren, he saw she alone.

"Hey, Eren." He started, capturing her immediate attention. "Why aren't you with the she-devil or the blonde coconut?" Eren let out a short laugh.

"Oh, I just told them I didn't feel like eating today." She replied quickly.

Levi frowned at that. He guessed the reason was that she was starving herself. That, he could not allow. "Um, why don't you share my food? Your mum gave me a bit too much and I don't want to make her feel bad that I didn't eat it all." He suggested.

Eren wanted to say no, but she just couldn't. "Okay..." She muttered.

Levi made sure she ate a decent amount of food. Once his meal was finished, he talked with her for as long as the bell would allow.

Even after lunch, Levi stuck with Eren as much as possible, walking her to her next class, sitting next to her whenever he could and chatting with her every spare moment.


After school, Levi didn't want to leave Eren alone, although he knew it would be a bit weird if he were constantly sleeping over. He made a plan.

"Hey, Eren! Why don't we exchange numbers?" Levi asked, already reaching for his phone.

"Okay. Hold on a sec, mine's in my bag." Eren agreed and fished around in her bag. She soon pulled it out and told Levi her number, whilst copying down his.

Eren was just about to go when Levi stopped her. "Why don't I drive you home? It would be much quicker than walking. Besides, Mikasa has already left and I don't want you to run into any trouble." Levi was really making excuses to not leave Eren alone, but she thought it was a great idea.

"Sure!"


After dropping Eren off and saying goodbye to her, Levi drove home. When he arrived, he whipped out his phone and immediately texted Eren. 'Hey! It's Levi.' He wanted to say more than just that, but he didn't know what to type.

He soon got a reply. 'Oh, hi! I was just about to text u. U left a few things at my place.'

'Can u give them to me tomorrow? I would come over, but I have a stack of homework to get though.' He texted back quickly. He knew he was giving up an opportunity to see Eren, but he seriously could not put off his homework any longer. He had planned to do it yesterday, but then the whole Eren thing happened.

'Sure' was the short reply. Levi set his phone aside to work.


It was about 9pm when Levi finished. He texted Eren again, wanting to make sure she knew he cared. 'Hey, u awake?'

'Yes' Eren replied. As Levi was about to reply, she sent another text. 'I need to get up early tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep now. I wish we could talk longer.'

'I wish we could talk more too. Goodnight, Eren. Have a good sleep and don't let the bed bugs bite.' Levi clicked send and almost face palmed himself. 'Don't let the bed bugs bite? Seriously?'

Eren, however, thought it was cute. She went to sleep with a smile on her face.
