An Amazing Stroke of Luck

(AN: So more than anything I'd love some comments, some feedback, please just tell me if you like the story!)


"Levi!! I'm so glad you could make it!" Hanji rushed at the shorter man, hugging him tightly, much to Levi's displeasure. Hanji had been worried about their friend, he rarely talked with them anymore and he had usually turned down their invitations to their monthly dinner out lately. This was the first time since Levi had met Eren that he had agreed to come.


"Yeah yeah, thanks for inviting me." Levi muttered, Erwin giving a slight smile.


"It's good to see you Levi. You haven't been to dinner with us lately." Erwin commented as they walked into the restaurant, allowing themselves to be led to an empty table. Once they had sat down and ordered Levi set his gaze on Hanji.


"Okay. What's up shitty glasses? Why haven't I been invited these past two months and why did you sound so fucking worried over the phone?" Levi knew there had to be something up, and he didn't want to beat around the bush, he wanted the truth. He felt like he was losing the only two friends he had.


"Levi. We did invite you. We've been trying to talk to you everyday." Erwin cut in, confused as to why Levi seemed so on edge. Levi looked like a mess, something Erwin wasn't used to. Levi looked like he hadn't slept or eaten or done anything but work and talk with this mystery Eren in the two months since they had last talked. He now understood why Hanji had warned him earlier that Levi wasn't doing all right lately.


"What do you mean you've been inviting me? Don't lie to me! The two of you have been ignoring me and now I see that the only one who cares about me is Eren!" Levi stood, their food hadn't arrived yet but he felt a burning need to go talk to Eren. He needed his green eyed beauty. Hanji grabbed his arm,


"Levi. Sit down. Let's talk about this." They were willing to put aside their usual cheery attitude for the sake of helping their friend. Levi had been different, he was always distant, but lately he had been even more distant than usual. Over the past few months he had ignored every invitation anywhere with the excuse that he was busy. He had refused to talk to anyone and if you were lucky enough to talk to him, he always redirected the conversation to Eren. This obsession was unhealthy. Hanji decided to bring in upon themselves to help Levi. No matter how long it took.


"Shut up! I don't need you guys!" Levi tore his arm out of their grasp before turning and walking out of the restaurant, his fists clenched at his aides. Levi needed to punch something, he needed to hurt someone, he needed to let out this anger. How dare they be worried about him? Couldn't they see that he was fine? Couldn't they see that Eren made him happy? Couldn't they see that Eren was all that mattered in his life?


Levi was seething with anger the whole way home, not even noticing as he bumped into someone, the other person stumbling back a few steps.


"Sorry!" The other person said, gaining their footing before checking the camera around his neck, making sure it was okay. "hey, are you okay?"


Levi looked up at the person, they were taller than him by a good couple inches, the guy had a camera around his neck, he was tan, with a mess of brunette hair and sparkling green eyes. Levi's eyes widened, he had, by some amazing stroke of luck ran into Eren. He must have been staring for too long because Eren looked confused and a bit awkward.


"Do I know you?" He asked, waving a hand in front of Levi, concerned that he didn't seem to be responding "did you hit your head or something?" Eren had the most beautiful voice Levi had ever heard, it was perfect and beautiful and Levi wanted to hear it every single day for the rest of his life. He felt like he could live off that voice.


"I'm fine." Levi brushed himself off, he didn't want Eren worrying about him "I'm Levi. You want to come back to my place? I'll make it up for bumping into you." He offered, he didn't know if Eren recognized him or not, but he already knew that he wanted Eren in his house, he was sure Eren would fit right in, they'd be happy. Levi would be happy and he would do everything possible to make Eren happy as well.


"You're Levi? You look a bit younger in your profile picture on Skype." Eren was wary, Levi seemed nice, but he looked so much different. He looked starved and tired and Eren wasn't sure if he should trust him. But he shook his head, clearing his thoughts, Levi was a friend and he looked like he needed help. Eren wanted to help him, he was actually a little glad he had bumped into Levi, now that he finally got to meet the guy he had been talking to for so long.


"Sure, let's go back to your place. Are you hungry? We can pick up a pizza on the way." Eren was putting his trust in Levi, deciding to ignore the voice in the back of his head trying to tell him this was probably a bad idea.
