*UPDATE: ADDED MISSING PART*

Chapter 1: New Start

Eren breathed in and out as he stood before his dorm room. The mahogany colored, wooden door had the golden letters M21 encrusted on eye view. Eren tightened his grip on his suitcase's handle and knocked two times on the door.

"Hello? I'm Eren Jeager and I'm your new roommate" Eren opened the door and smiled the moment he went inside.

"Ah! You're my roommate? Come in! I'll help you with your bags!" A blond boy, a bit shorter than Eren and with radiant blue eyes greeted him excitedly. "I'm Armin Arlert! I hope you don't mind I took the right side of the room to myself"

Armin dressed in preppy styled clothes, a white buttoned shirt with a blue striped cardigan over it, black jeans and black formal looking sneakers. He gave off a sweet boy vibes as well as a cool nerdy vibes.

"No it's not problem at all! Pleased to meet you Armin, I'm Eren Jeager" Eren settled his suitcase by the bed located to the left side of the room as Armin went to the door to get two more of Eren's bags.

The dorm room wasn't as small as Eren had thought it to be, it had a glass window between the beds and they had a walk in closet on Armin's side of the room with enough space for both of their things and more. Eren sat on his yet to be dressed bed and started going about his bags, he took out his phone and quickly texted his sister. She had asked to be texted upon his arrival to Titania Wall University and upon sitting down on his bed inside his dorm room. Mikasa Ackerman knew her brother wanted some space, she had seen him earlier that day and understood there was no need to call her if Eren called their mother by dusk. He typed in his message 'I got to my room. My new roommate seems like a nice person so no need to worry there! I'll unpack my things and then I'll go get a snack, bye!' and hit the send button afterwards. Giving a long sigh he looked up from his phone to Armin, who stood in front of him just looking at him with a friendly grin.

"I'm gonna go out to for dinner with my friends and their new friends. Would you like to come? Sorry if it's too sudden!" Armin asked a bit nervously.

"Sure! I just have to make my bed and put my stuff away, then I'd love to go with you" Eren replied smiling.

"Great! I uh, I could help out if you'd like?" Armin blushed a little, Eren supposed the other was just nervous about making a new friend, much like he himself was at the moment.

"Hell yes, uh, my bed sheets are here. Let's make a bed"

"Is everything okay honey?" Carla Jeager spoke with a sweet tone in her voice. "I heard from Mikasa your roommate was nice, already settled in?"

"Yes mom, I'm all settled on the room thanks to my roomie's help, his name is Armin by the way, and right now we're both going out for dinner" Eren walked alongside Armin through the halls of the Male Maria Dorm. They were headed to the lobby where they would meet up with Armin's friends to go to a nearby Wendy's.

"Oh! Well that's good to hear! You be careful okay? And remember to never miss out on your meds… I love you honey"

"I love you too mom" Eren smiled as he talked, he was really getting a jab of homesickness.

Eren hung up on the phone after exchanging goodbyes with his mother and then sighed.
"Already that homesick huh? It's gonna be fine after a few weeks you'll see!" Armin smiled at Eren and they continued strolling down the aisles.

Finally they arrived at the dorm lobby where a small crowd of people waited for them.

"Armin! Hey! I missed you honey boo!" A brunette girl with a long floral patterned dress and a leather jacket came dashing towards Armin and practically almost toppled the boy over. "The food is awaiting us, it's calling meeee"

"Sasha! Keep it together, we saw each other when we got here!" Armin laughed and pushed the girl off him. "Also, didn't you say you were eating a whole cake like ten minutes ago?"

"It ran ooooout!" Sasha whined making a pouty face.

"Oi, the lady wants to eat her burgers shall we go now?" A bald boy with mushy green eyes pointed towards the door as he made some super hero pose. "The fair red haired maiden is awaiting us!"

"I swear to god Connie, where do you even get the stuff you smoke? I want some of that shit too" A bulky blond man rubbed the bridge of his nose as he spoke, apparently annoyed by the bald boy Connie's actions.

"Uh, I don't want to sound like a bitch, but I'm hungry and we all have our first day of college tomorrow so it'd be nice if ya'll get your asses moving" This time a girl with blond hair, blue eyes, dressed in a pair of black jeans, combat boots and a hoodie spoke. "Tch, why the hell do I get stuck with crazy friends like you?"

"That's because you're ass insane as us Annie~ Reiner can totes confirm this!" Sasha went over to the blond combat boots girl and placed her arm over her shoulders.

The girl Eren now was sure was Annie took Sasha's arm and in a swift move threw her away to the other side of the lobby.

"Wow" Eren just looked at her with a surprised gesture as the others in the room either doubled over laughing or simply went over to aid Sasha.

"Oi we gots a newbie here!" Connie pointed at Eren and everyone turned their attention to the brunette teen.

"State your name cadet!" Sasha quickly recovered from being thrown off and darted to be in front of Eren.

"I'm Eren Jeager… Armin's roommate, pleased to meet you all lively people" Eren was now confident about them and so he just crossed his arms and smiled at them.

"Oooh! Exotic name Eren! I'm Sasha Braus!"

"I would be Connie Springer" The bald boy stroke another funny pose and Sasha pushed him off balance.

The bulky blond man, who had spoken to Annie and Eren now took his time to notice wore camouflage pants and a tank top, came over with said woman and gave Eren a confident grin. "I'm Reiner Braun and this fair lady would be Annie Leondhart"

"Sup' kiddo" Annie spoke and just looked at him with a deadpanned face and glistening eyes.

With the introductions done, the group of teenagers proceeded to make their way to Wendy's or at least were about to exit the lobby when a familiar voice to Eren called out to them.

"What the fuck guys?! You were gonna leave me behind?!"

"Excuse you Jean, but we were all extra hungry!" Sasha replied shrugging her shoulders.

"All of you extra hungry? Don't you mean YOU were extra hungry?"
Eren stared at the guy that neared the group and simply made a grossed out expression. Jean Kirstein was now standing and walking with the group in his washed out jeans and a combo of t-shirt and open button up short sleeves shirt.

"Where's your boyfriend huh?" Connie asked in sing song.

"Marco's sleeping, he couldn't sleep last night from the excitement" Jean replied and scratched the back of his head nonchalantly. "By the way, fancy meeting you here Jeager"

"Fancy meeting you too Jean" Eren replied in monotone.

"Woah! You guys know each other?"

"Awesome! Story time!"

As Jean talked to the crowd about how he and Eren were childhood friends and later passed on to be aggressive rivals, the brunette saw something from the corner of his eye. They were exiting the Maria Dorm lobby but as they did, a rather small man was going inside while talking on his phone.

"Goddamn Hanji, get your fucking fat ass out of Nanaba's room and give me back my fucking keys!"

His voice was rather entrancing to Eren's ears, even when he heard it for a short amount of time. All he got the chance to take in from him besides his height, was that he had black hair and wore a black leather jacket. Eren looked back to see the man's frame but Armin pulled him back to the group's conversation when the blond tugged on his shoulder.

"Eren is an annoying little shit who for some reason can never make a correct decision, always rushing into everything" Jean was talking and Eren, having snapped back from his small trance, growled in response.

"Yeah fucking right! You shitty horse face always pushed my ass to make rash decisions! I'm not the one who thought up the best way to graffiti the school's back wall only to screw the fuck up and almost get us caught!"

"Oooooh! It's going down!" Sasha exclaimed as Annie rolled her eyes and Reiner looked at Connie pleadingly.

"Don-"

"I'm yelling timber! You better move!" Connie continued despite Reiner's pleads.

Their group continued their small seven minute journey to Wendy's at 7:30pm making jokes, laughing and stopping a fight from breaking out between Eren and Jean. Despite having most of them that same day, Eren was already very much part of their group.

On the other hand, the small man Eren had noticed going into the dorms had also noticed him in change. He had put his raging on the phone on hold for a few seconds as he looked back out the dorm's glass doors. His eyes bore to the back of the brunette teen's back and only after the short man noticed he was staring did he go back to raging and life threatening on his phone.
