Chapter Three - The Confession

It's Sunday which Eren is currently wasting away trying to come up scenarios for his jerk-wad of a friend, Jean to do his part of the bet. It's even a miracle that they are both trying to come up with a plan together in Armin's place. Yes, they are in fact, in Armin's house right at this moment.

Actually, Eren and Armin were supposed to hang out together for today but then Jean called Armin who had called at Eren's home and was told he was over Armin's, swallowed his pride and pleaded to come help him how to get Mikasa's attention because he was getting desperate (and because he doesn't want to buy anything for his friend who keeps on calling him stupid names.)

"So, have you guys come up with an idea, yet?" Armin showed up with a tray of drinks for him and his guests and a bag of chips, placing it gently in between of Eren and Jean.

They were all in Armin's room because his granddad was watching television downstairs and because he doesn't want his two friends to start anything agreed to a temporary truce, offered his room for their shenanigans.

Eren groaned and slumped his head on the desk, "I give up! Nothing comes up in my head!"

It's been two days since Levi had made his move in the rooftop and Eren has not contacted him since even though Levi had been adamant that he wanted to have Eren's number after lunch time was finished. Well, Levi-sempai also has my number but he hasn't contacted me as well... Eren added mentally. Eren's mind slowly went from the topic of Jean's plans to Levi's sudden confession, and he snapped right away from his thoughts when Jean threw something (a paper ball) at him.

Jean huffed, "That's 'coz you were thinking of other things!"

"Ohh yeah, like you buying me my lunch for the whole month," Eren sneered at Jean's face.

Before anything starts, Armin pushed Jean to the side and took a seat beside him, "No fighting allowed in my room, guys."

The two went silent; Eren doing stupid doodles on his notebook while Jean was staring off into space.

Armin stared at the both of them, lingering his gaze longer at the back of Jean's head before letting out a sigh and said, "Why don't you just approach Mikasa like you always do, Jean. Eren and I could make an excuse to go somewhere so you could talk with her privately."

"Yeah, I guess so..." Jean sighed, flicking a bird in Eren direction when he saw him making gagging faces.

Armin smiled, "And, besides, you two planning over something like this just really isn't your thing."

The two stopped from mid-wrestling, and then shouted a "HEY!" in unison in which they started a fuss over about copying each other.

Armin just laughed, munching on the bag of chips.

The next day, Monday - Lunch time.

Eren and Armin were having lunch again with the seniors because Levi wanted to see Eren and not because Hanji was pleading him to bring Eren to their circle again. Although instead of the usual circle they formed last time, the first time Eren and his friends were invited over, Eren and Levi were sitting at atop the rooftop, looking down at the other students like ants while eating their lunches.

"So your friend's making his move, huh?" Levi spoke suddenly, breaking the awkward silence between them, making Eren lose his concentration in glaring imaginary daggers at the back of Jean's head while casually and nervously talking to his step-sister who was being nonchalant as usual.

Eren turned away from the embarrassing (for Jean) scene to face Levi's inquiring face. The senior kept staring at him that he started fidgeting on his bum, "Uhm..."

Levi smirked and Eren blushed.

"Say, are you free-"

*DI~NG! DO~NG!*

Eren blinked, looking at Levi, expecting him to continue what he was saying earlier before the bell rung indicating that lunch time was over; students below looking like ants trying to go back to their own classes when Eren glanced down to face away from Levi's gaze. When Levi didn't say anything, Eren tilted his head to the side and asked, "Sempai, what were you going to say?"

Levi stared at him for a few moments before shaking his head and waved him off, "No, never mind." He stood up then walked over to the steel ladder and climbed off, leaving a perplexed Eren behind.

Eren stupidly blinked, 'Eh, what was that all about...?'

(Eren, you dope.)

When Eren and Armin got back to their classroom, their homeroom teacher was nowhere in sight but Jean was already on his seat with a sullen expression on his face.

Eren was the first one to walk towards Jean, while Armin just stood by the doorway, watching Jean's every move. He silently watched as Eren slapped the other on the back and started to converse with him about whoever should buy the other lunch for the whole month.

When Eren saw the dejected face from the other brunet, Eren's happy face fell, rubbing the back of his neck in an awkward gesture, "Oh, sorry, man."

Trying to lighten up Jean's sullen mood, Eren sat down on his seat and started talking about the mundane things for a few moments before something shocking happened right in front of his eyes and everyone else's.

#

Seeing the rejected expression on Jean's face, Armin felt a prickling pain on his chest. For a moment, he was mad at Mikasa for putting that expression on him but it wasn't her fault she's blinded by her over-protectiveness of his step-brother.

The blonde watched as Jean and Eren talked and laughed with each other. He had always been in love with him, since the first day he and Eren became rivals who were actually good friends but they show it through rivalry. Armin has been in love with him for a whole year. He has always wanted to confess but he couldn't when Jean was totally head over heels in love with his childhood friend, Mikasa.

But now that Mikasa has rejected him, Armin has a chance to convey his feelings.

But, how?

He felt a stinging sensation on the back of his neck. He jumped a bit when he turned his head to the side and saw Levi standing by the door on the other side of the room. He seemed to be mouthing something.

Armin frowned, two or three imaginary question marks floating around his head.

Realization hit him when he finally got what it was.

'Just do it.'

Armin smiled a bit, nodding his head to Levi's way before turning his gaze back to Jean and Eren laughing about what Jean had said.

He stood straight, a determined expression showing on his face and strode towards Jean's desk, got a hold of his collar, pulled his surprised face towards his and pressed his warm pair of lips down to the unsuspecting ones.

Everyone who were in the vicinity gasped, some 'ooh-ed' and 'aaw-ed'. Armin pulled away a second later, Jean's once face clouded with hidden rejection was now full of shock and bewilderment.

"WHOA! Armin, you're...?!"

Armin glanced at Eren who was looking at him like he was a zoo animal, "Uhm... Yeah. Does that bother you, Eren? I know you're not really... you know," the small blond fidgeted on his feet.

Eren made a mocked hurt face, "What?! Of course not! I don't care about your sexual preference. You're my best friend and I'll accept everything about you, I know Mikasa will too! But..." the brunet squinted his blue-green eyes at Armin and said in a low playful tone, "why Jean?"

Armin laughed, shrugging his shoulders, "I don't know. He's a good person, Eren. I just like him. You do not question love. It just comes to you unexpectedly."

Armin smiled at the bewildered look on Eren's face, "By the way, Levi-sempai's outside."

Eren's soul jumped out of his body, "EH?!"

The brunet turned around and indeed, Levi's outside their classroom, with a satisfied smirk on his face. Eren's eyebrow rose at that. He seemed even more confused when his sempai slash boyfriend just shrugged before gesturing for him to come outside.

#

When Eren came out of the classroom, he immediately opened his mouth and asked, "What's up?"

(Let's just pretend their homeroom teacher is running late or is helping some old lady with her grocery shopping or is rather lost with the way of life.)

Levi's eyebrow rose from the other's nonchalant way of greeting someone when he was all jumpy earlier but decided to stay silent as he rummage through inside his pants pocket for something, took it out and handed Eren a piece of paper.

Eren stared for a moment at Levi's expressionless face then to the piece of paper. When he did stared at it and registered in his mind what it truly was, his blue-green eyes widen in amazement, "Please tell me this isn't a dream..."

Levi softly laughed at that, "It's not, kid."

Eren breathed out, "Oh my god."

"So, will you go out with me?"

Eren's eyes widened into saucers at that, he was too excited he'll be able to come to the newest amusement park that was recently opened to public than to be shocked that his one-way-ticket-to-winning-this-stupid-bet boyfriend just asked him out to a date.

"Oh. My. God. Yes, yes, yes!"

Levi laughed again.
