Eren continued kissing him until he felt Levi brush against his leg. Immediately becoming meek, he edged away and made to look down at his feet, instead seeing Levi's pants... And instantly looking back up. He blushed and stood, refusing to look at him.

Levi continued awkwardly sitting on the floor, pulling his knees to his chest, well, as far to his chest as they could go, and rubbing the back of his neck. Even he had a slight tinge of pink on his cheeks. "Erm.. bafroom... in hall, door... one." The brunette, with his back to other male, ran a hand through his hair.

Levi jumped to his feet and stumbled out, slouching as to cover himself. Eren heard a door close, and sat on his bed. He rested for a few minutes, composing himself, before walking over to his small window and peering out to the street. A hand touched his shoulder, making him jump.

"Eren? Where'd Levi go?" Petra's sweet voice interrupted him. "Uh... Bafroom..." He stuttered, using all of his willpower to fight the urge to blush. Petra nodded in understanding before sitting on the floor and picking up an album.

"This one looks different?" She said, turning to look at Eren. She playfully patted the floor beside her, turning back to the plastic in her hands. The boy hesitantly obeyed, leaning away from her. Any human contact after that little event felt forced and uncomfortable.

"Mark Forster." He responded. "It doesn't look like a normal album...?" Petra questioned. He shook his head. "Friend, Armin... he making song list listen to. Ran-Rand... Random?" Eren explained and then asked. She nodded and opened it, putting the disc in the radio.

In diesem Haus wo ich wohn' ist alles so gewohnt, so zu kotzen vertraut.* The German song softly played through the speakers. Eren joined in on the next verse, singing even quieter than the volume on the player. "Man jeder Tag ist so gleich ich zieh' Runden durch meinen Teich, Ich will nur noch hier raus."*

Petra clapped and squealed, "You're so good! Gosh, you could be a professional!" Eren blushed. Turning off the music, he looked at his feet. "Nah..." "UPSTAIRS PEOPLE! FOOD!" Marco's voice was heard, saving Eren from Petra's response. She linked arms with him and, giggling, pulled him to the stairs.

When they were walking down, Levi was heard, closing a door. He looked down the hallway at their retreating backs and followed, solemn. 'They have linked arms? She's touching him?' He thought to himself, nearly growling at the ginger. "There's sandwiches and fruit!" Mikasa announced, gesturing to the small table laden with food.

<><>Timeskip 30 Minutes<><>

Petra flicked a grape towards Eren, missing his mouth and hitting his eye. "Oops." She muttered, while everyone laughed. It dropped to the floor and lay unforgotten by everyone but Levi.

"Tch, that is unsanitary." He stooped down to pick it up, adding it to the pile on his napkin. "I'll get it this time!" She promised, picking another from the bowl and aiming for Eren. She missed once more, instead hitting Jean, who easily caught and ate it.

"Fair, no!" Eren complained. Jean smirked and leaned back, his gaze towards the two, looking for stray fruit. Petra missed again and Jean caught it once more, popping it into his mouth.

"Petra!" Eren groaned, exasperated. She only laughed and picked up a handful, aiming for Jean. Eren chose that moment to sit up, getting a handful of grapes to the face. "Balls to the face." Levi said, critiquing his nails. Jean snorted. Petra glanced over at the raven, slightly annoyed by his comment. "Levi, you're a soldier... act like one."

"Yes, I am, and so are you. But here you are throwing grapes at brats." The two glared at each other for a moment. "A-a-ah!" Eren gestured to the grapes, then to his still open mouth. Petra smiled and picked up another purple sphere. Levi scowled before dropping on his hands and knees to pick up the grapes scattering the floor.

"TEENAGERS SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME! THEY COULD CARE LESS SO LONG AS SOMEONE'LL BLEED! SO DARKEN YOUR CLOTHES, I'LL-" The ringtone was cut off by an embarrassed Eren pouncing on his phone.

"...Bertholdt." He mumbled into the phone, turning away from the group. Levi looked disgusted by the song choice. Petra instantly jumped to his defense. "It's a good song, really... And Bertholdt is a teenager so..." "Petra, nobody cares." That was Jean. "UM!" Mikasa. "Eren, I don't love how vulgar that so-" Eren shot her a murderous glare, before going back to his phone.

"Ah? Noes... Jesses... Jesses... Noes... Huh? Oh, jesses... Friends here." "Ahem." Mikasa cleared her throat, glaring at her younger brother. "No, he can't come over." The brunette gave her an ugly look. "Mmm... Frying days. Huh? Oh, Friday..." He looked embarrassed once more. "Seeing jou."

He hung up and turned to everyone. Cocking an eyebrow, he moved his hands in the 'shooing' motion. "Gehen Sie weiter, gehen Sie zurück zu ihrem leben."* Mikasa rolled her eyes. "Sobald Sie Ihr die gerade erhalten."* Eren tilted his head. "Gerader wie meine Sexualität?"* She opened her mouth, before closing it again.

Throwing her hands up into the air, she exclaimed, "Why is that your response for everything?!" He shrugged and responded with "Vhy not?"

Marco sat up from his place on the couch and cleared his throat. "So because the library is getting so popular, I thought I ought to hire more employees... right now, only Eren and I work there. Do um... any of you guys want to... yeah? It would just be part-time, and I know some of you will leave in December so..."

Petra ceased in her grape-throwing. "Eren, we could work together!" She squealed. Eren looked joyful at this prospect. "So I take it you'd like to?" Marco asked her. She nodded happily. "I will, too." Jean spoke up. "REALLY?!" Marco pounced on his boyfriend.

"I'm too busy with experiments." Hanji told him. "I already have a full-time job, sorry." Mikasa agreed. "Being that the expedition is only a few months away, I will be busier with research and planning. I will surely be at the library, and some days I can help out with small tasks, but I'll mostly be working." Levi said.

Marco nodded in understanding at them. "At least I've gained two employees... and those twins may start working as well, for the remainder of the summer, right, Eren?"

Eren, who had been more focused on not looking at Levi when he spoke, lifted his eyes from the floor. "Jes..." "Perfect!" Marco cheered, kissing Jean." "PDA!" Hanji and Mikasa shouted while throwing pillows at them.

Petra continued throwing fruit at Eren, the brunette leaning in different directions in attempts to catch it. Jean watched and occasionally swiped some from the air, feeding it to Marco. Hanji and Mikasa chatted animatedly and Levi cleaned up after everyone, "tch"ing when grapes hit the floor. The raven took out his phone to look for a task. Being that he never kept any sort of games or music, he found himself staring at a blank screen and thinking of earlier.
