Eren stood there shocked and confused as he stared with widen eyes as a signal tear dripped from his cheek. 

I don't get it... Eren thought to himself. Eren sat in the chair as he waited for Armin to return from the bathroom. But all he kept thinking was that kiss above his forehead and he wondered if it would be the last time he could feel it.  He had been feeling all kinds of feeling all at once; sad, mad, annoyed, awkward, embarrassed... all thanks to someone like his homeroom teacher. It was something he couldn't control and nothing seem to help cope with his uncertainty. And more over it wasn't fair. But this wave of confusion made Eren think. And he then begin to wonder what would Armin do in a time like this...

Armin emerged from the staircase as he sat back down at the dinning room table, he looked up at Eren who seemed to be lost in his thoughts. 

"Eren, you okay?" Armin asked. 

"I'm just thinking," Eren said he turn to Armin as he then asked,"Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"How do you feel...about Zander?"

Jean, Mikasa and Kenny found Marco just outside of a shop as he stumbled on the sidewalk. 

Jean and Mikasa manage to squeze through the crowd of people as Jean manage to call out to Macro.

Macro stood with his back turned wearing a black zipped up jacket and wear his hood up, Jean could always tell it was Marco from his wide stance. 

"MACRO," Jean called out as Macro turned with his hands in his pockets. 

As Macro turned to see Jean, Jean stopped to see another person who had their arms enter locked with Macro's.

Soon the crowd of people manage to leave as Jean and Mikasa stood there to see Macro standing with a girl. 

Jean's eyes flickered wide as he saw her. 

What the...?

The girl was shorter then Macro roughly a head shorter who wore her light blonde hair up into two bun pigtails with the bottom of her hair short and down. 

Jean blinked observing the girl, Who is she?

Her eyes pale blue and she had a strange expression on her face as if the two people had interrupted them on their,'date'. 

Don't tell me...

She was a cute girl who wore black ripped jeans a bright pink band shirt and a bright blue leather jacket with white sleeves.

-That they are on a date...?

"uhhh-Jean, What's up my man," Macro said as he chuckled with glee. 

"Macro, we came here to get you," Mikasa said. 

"Macro, who are these people?" The girl said as she turn to look at him. 

"It's alright babe, these guys are my friends," Macro said with a smile as he expanded his arm out to them,"Mikasa and Jean," Macro said introducing them still partly buzzed. 

"BABE"?

"Mikasa...Jean, I'd like you to meet..," Suddenly in slow motion, Jean heard the words spilling out of his mouth as he said,"My Girlfriend, Crystal," 

GIRLFRIEND!?

"Yeah, well I think they are here to take me home," Marco said as he turned with a gentle smile.

"AWWWHHH, we were having so much fun together too," Crystal whined as she pouted. 

"No worries, until next time," Macro insured her as he ruffled her layered bangs. 

Jean unconsciously crossed his arms as he frown at the newly couple. 

Macro walked away as he stumbled into Jean,"What's the matter not gonna help a drunken friend?" Macro flickered his eyes at him, Jean turn his head as he turn rolling his hands as he helped his friend to walk properly,"come one let's go," 

Macro suddenly giggled,"Jean, you look mad, what gives?"

"Mad? No..but since when did your virgin ass get yourself a girlfriend?" 

"Since two weeks ago," He smirked. 

"You two have been dated for two weeks!?" Jean said surprised. 

"Yeah," Macro smirked as he stumbled onto his feet. 

"Well, how come I'm just now hearing about it?" Jean asked. 

"Because, you never asked...," Macro said. 

"I see," Jean mumbled under his breath.

Macro, Jean and Mikasa got into Kenny's car as they drove off.

***

"What kind of question is that!?" Armin asked as he turned his eyes to Eren. 

"Just forget I said anything," Eren said feeling stupid for asking such a dumb question. 

Armin rised a brow,"IF something is on you're mind, you can tell me..." 

Eren signed,"I guess I'm just confused about some things," he confessed. 

"Like what?" 

"...There is this person...I will not mention who, but I feel like they are playing mind games with me," He confessed. 

"So it's a guy," Armin said simply. 

"...yeah," Eren finally said feeling ashamed and embarrassed as he crossed his arms and place his head on the table hiding the shame. 

"Eren, I told you I'll support you in who ever you liked," Armin said pulling a hand on his head. This action was something familiar he recalled Levi doing and to his surprised Eren perked up his head and revealed an expression Armin has never saw before. 

"Whoa," Armin pulled his hand back for his action was a trigger for that puppy dog expression Eren was giving. 

"Please don't look at me," Eren said bushfully as he hid his face. 

Armin laughed,"why it was cute," 

Eren's face and ears beneath his arms turned bright red, until he shot up as protested,"IS NOT!"

Armin laughed cheerfully as he then smiled,"So, you finally found someone you like," He said. 

"WHAT!? WHY YOU-" 

"Ere, you can't keep pretend you don't have feelings for this person. And it's clear that this person often patted your head...so much so that if someone else did that same action you could recall it clearly," Armin said. 

"You had read right though me," Eren said in shock. 

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me who, however...what did you mean about playing mind games? Is this person playing tricks on you?" Armin asked concerned. 

"No, its not like that...It's more like we are together in secret," Eren tried to explain, "it's complicated but in public we have to act like nothing is going on, so he like to boss me around and act like I mean nothing to him. But whenever we are alone...I think he want to try to express his feeling to me...But he can't because of...his reputation...," Eren tried to explain.

"Oh, I see..." Armin said.

"But please don't tell anyone," Eren plead. 

"Of crouse not," Armin said,"What kind of a friend would that make me..." 

Eren signed in relief.

"But to be completely honest with you," Armin paused,"You shouldn't feel ashamed if you like another guy. And if this person really liked you too you should have to hide it," Armin said. 

"But its not that easy," even said,"What would you do if Zander suddenly started telling everyone you guys are a couple?" 

"Well that's different, I don't like him like that," Armin said with crossed arms. 

"Just the idea of people finding out I might swing the other way, is a nightmare..." Eren confessed, "I hid my BL even from you and Mikasa there is no way I have the confidence to be waving the rainbow flag around," 

"What's wrong with the rainbow flag? Isn't it just like any of the other flags," Armin said. 

"It's just a saying. You can't be waving things around without reason," Eren said. 

"Well if its the statement behind it, then change people's views..." Armin stated. 

"What?" 

"We do live in a world were gay marriage is legal, boys wear makeup and girls wear strap-ons,"Armin replied. 

Hearing something like that coming out of Armin mouth made Eren laugh,"WHAT? - HOLD ON BRUH, WHAT!?" 

Suddenly within the laughter, Armin and Eren heard the back door open from the down stairs cafe they turn to the stairs and saw Mikasa and Kenny walking up the stairs.

Armin's laughed had faded as he looked up to wipe a joyful tear as he asked, "So did you find Macro?"

"Yeah and his girlfriend too," Mikasa said. 

"Girlfriend?" Eren and Armin question. 

"yeah I'm just as surprised as you are," Mikasa said.

"Where's Jean?" Eren asked. 

"We dropped both of them off at their homes," Kenny said.

"Did you guys find Sasha and Connie?" Armin asked. 

"Yeah we didn't find them, but we know they are safe at Connie's house," Mikasa said. 

"That's good news," Armin said. 

"If you guys need a ride I can take you all home," Kenny offered. 

"Sure, that'll be good," Mikasa said with a smile as she turn to the boys,"You guys ready?"

"Yeah," They said as they headed out the door. 

Crystal stood across the street of the cafe as she smiled from ear to ear as she watched the trio hop inside Kenny's car. With a large smile and cat like eyes she stepped backwards into the dark ally as she let the darkness swallow her whole. 

*****

Levi hid himself in his studio apparent just outside of the city as he closed the door as he flopped on his full bed placing an arm over his bright red face.

Levi's heart burst with hurt and sorrow as he lifted his arm and covered his eyes, as he recalled the conversation he heard among his students.

I'm such a damn fool...

Someone probably caught us...caught me...

...kissing Eren... There goes my career...

Levi thought as turn to his side.

But more importantly, I was selfish by throwing myself on him like that...

In the years that I have taught, I've never did anything so childish. 

To throw myself on him without even considering his feelings...was probably the worst...

What if he had a crushed on someone else...What could have kiss done to a young teen such as himself? 

I'm an awful teacher...

He wanted to pretend that nothing happened, pretend that it was all a delluison in his head. But that's something that can't be undone.

No matter how much he thought about it, it was impossible to get that out of his head.

And it reappeared every time he closed his eyes. In the heat of the moment during the kiss it was beautiful thus Levu felt something it hadn't felt in ages, yet...he should've known better. Eren is just a teen a child at that. And Levi feared for the worst to come...
