Summary: Eren goes to school late and well, Rivaille isn't really happy about it. Armin ponders about things.

Lethargic hands reach over the bed side table and on the alarm clock.

7 AM, it reads, and with a startled breath of air, his body rises and stumbles to the bath room with a "Shit, I'm late."

He partially blames Mikasa but it wasn't her fault the student council decided to hold a meeting so he blames them instead.

He grabs a piece of bread from the table and rushes off. Hopefully Rivaille-sensei won't be too mad. He gulps, knowing that his wish won't come true.

He runs through the gates, up the stairs and through the corridors, ignoring the various teachers' No running in the hallways!

He grabs the door knob, opens it swiftly and with a bow, "I apologize for being late." he announces and the rest of the class gulps for him.

"He should've stayed at home,"

"I wouldn't have gone to school if I were him,"

"Rivaille-sensei'll surely kill him,"

They all whispered but Eren paid no heed. He knew he was dead from the start.

"Nice of you to join us Jaeger," Rivaille starts, walking up to him slowly. A wave of 'Kyaaa's could be heard in the background.

"When it comes to teaching manners to students, I believe that it's better to teach them through their bodies rather than giving them verbal lessons."

The screaming in the background grew louder and Eren couldn't help but flinch in response.

"Jaeger, 10 laps around the school. And while you're at it, bring me a cup of coffee." He punctuates by shoving Eren out the door and slamming it shut.

Some minutes later, Eren enters the room, all tired and huffing. "Here's your coffee, sir." and Rivaille takes it, and sips from it without so much as a glance at Eren.

Eren takes his seat beside Armin, props his head up with his right hand and sighs.

"Eren, are you alright?" he asks, staring at Eren's face with concern.

"Mhhm."

"Are you sure?" He asks again, noticeably worried about the far-off look in Eren's face.

"Yesss," Eren replies, another sigh escaping his lips. "It's just that,"

"It's just that?"

"Isn't Rivaille-sensei so cool? Hey, what do you think'll happen if I come in late again tomorrow? Ah, but Mikasa would be at home by tomorrow and- aah"

Armin pales, a disgusted look on his face, "Are you a masochist or what?"

"Jaeger, stay behind after school. Looks like I have a lot more to teach you."

The screaming resumes again and Eren replies with a dreamy "Yess."

Armin wonders if his class was still sane or if he was the one who's gone crazy.
