A story from my Wattpad that I'm slooooowly moving over here cause the lazy

Eren was so fidgety and nervous, he barely got a wink in last night. He tossed and turned knowing it would be another good 15- 20 minutes before anyone was awake. The time was 7:35 a.m…And today was a special day for him. The day he was going to let it all out and confess, and finally admit his true feelings and maybe it would be resolved. It was also his sixteenth birthday. He groaned staring at the ceiling wondering when the others would wake up even though he already knew around what time it was.

Eren had told himself that is was just some kind of weird phase he was going through, and no matter what he did or no matter how much he prepared himself he couldn't ever face that person. Not without getting all weird, stammering, blushing. It was especially the worst when they were alone. Three years now, he had felt like this and knew it wasn't just a phase, and he had to do the only thing he could about it. Confess and get it off his chest and then maybe he'd feel better.

"Put them where?" Mikasa asked quietly, holding a stack of neatly wrapped boxes.

"In the closet—your closet, hurry he'll be up soon." Levi said back in a hushed tone.

Mikasa nodded, and quietly but quickly left Levi to the kitchen as she made way to her bedroom. Todays the day, she thought. She'd been deciding this for months now on whether or not this would be the right time. She had to confess to him today. She had to let him know how she felt.

She blushed at the thought, even smiling a little, but was still a little worried. Even if she was rejected, she'd still love him and he'd know how she felt entirely. But then she feared how awkward things would be. They were practically family, and she didn't know how the other would react to such a bold statement.

Levi looked around on the things on the counter. Everything seemed to be there. All the ingredients to make Eren's stomach ache of a cake, and decorations hid away in the cabinet until the cavalry came. Eren had insisted that just the three of them alone, Armin included of course, do something for his birthday. Which Levi thought was a little odd. But then Hanji started talking and all of that changed. So now Levi had to depend on Armin and Mikasa to keep him busy for a good part of the day, and Petra and Hanji to help him with decorating, and the others to just be on time.

Levi sighed. "Ugh…" He wanted to do something special for Eren but wasn't too sure about all the company. The place would most likely be a mess after all the 'celebrating'. But it was the boys 16th birthday, so whatever happened, Levi figured he could deal with it for just the one time. But he still felt like there was something more. Something he was forgetting, something else he should do, like what he had right now wasn't enough.

Of course with that brilliant brain of his, Levi devised a plan. For the mess-makers and for Eren. A dark mischievous aura hung over him.

"U-um…Yeaaaah, I put the gifts away." Mikasa said flatly, coming back to catch him in the moment.

Levi snapped out of it and turned to face her. "Th—Oh, morning Eren." Levi blinked seeing the boy 'stumble' in.

Mikasa turned around surprised. "Morning!"

Eren's POV:

"Hi…" I said giving my best 'I'm still sleepy' act. I had peeked out of the door and saw Mikasa leaving her room and Levi in the kitchen.

"So how long have you been up?" Levi asked going over to the other cabinet taking out plates for their breakfast.

I jumped before my ass could even hit the seat. "How'd you know?!"

"Hmm, well let's see, I've noticed the past few obvious birthdays you tend to stay up all night." Levi said plainly. I mumbled looking down at my feet. Guess he would notice, I shouldn't be so surprised.

"Plus you're dressed." My eyes widened and I looked down at myself. I was dressed and completely forgotten I had done so. Idiot!

"Happy Birthday brat." He said to me suddenly and then my face was burning red at the signs of contact. They both kissed me! Levi kissed my temple and Mikasa kissed my cheek…My first kisses. What a sweet gesture, but the one I loved the most had no idea what they had just done to me…

"Now c'mon eat up, don't let any of this go to waste, I'm spoiling you today." Levi sat down quite a few plates, all practically stacked with…Yeah, all my favorite breakfasts'!

"I-it's so much." I was excited to see it all but I didn't know if I was going to finish it- "Hey! Mikasa!" She just took the biggest strawberry off my waffles!

"Well there's a reason for that…" Levi said looking off to the side with a sigh.

"He said not to waste it." She said plainly, and nommed on my delicious whipped cream covered fruit like it was nothing. I WILL exact my revenge…

"There's a lot, don't be greedy." Mikasa said and took another one.

"Okay strawberries and chocolate are mine!" I slid the waffle plate away from her and to myself. I then looked back to Levi remembering him saying something.

"Yer said something about reasons?" I said looking at him, having taken a big bite of my waffle. Mikasa practically picking off fruit from where it was on the rest. I could tell the chocolate syrup was homemade, just how I liked it. I love Levi's cooking.

And on queue there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Levi yelled and I looked to the door wondering who it was.

I smiled, then blinked surprised and happy seeing Armin, but then there was Hanji and Petra walking through the door.

"Happy birthday Eren!" They all came over to me and smothered me with a hug.

"And morning!" Petra got to me first and landed with a peck on the cheek, making me blush all over again. Armin was on the other said of me giggling for some reason…

"H-Hanji, Petra-san…" I said trying not to sound to down about them being here. I really did just want it to be the four us. And I and my own reasons. Hanji and Petra now would just get in my way.

"Do you want your presents now?" Hanji asked delivering the bone breaking hug that Armin was lucky to escape from, but left me and Petra trapped.

"O-Or later! You can wait…" Armin suggested quickly. I wonder why…Maybe he was scared I wouldn't like it? Or he didn't get me anything?

Armin's POV:

I wasn't too ready to give my gift just yet, and looked away from Eren feeling the stupid blush in my cheeks when he gave his confused stare. We all went shopping together, Eren excluded obviously, and I didn't really buy him anything. I made him something instead. Hanji had suggested the idea to me since I'm always messing with computers and stuff and I thought it sounded nice, but I also didn't want it to hurt his feelings.

I'll just give it to him when we're alone…I thought, figuring that would be a better action to take. Mikasa had even seemed upset at what I was doing, but she said it was sweet. I don't think it's sweet if it makes your best friends cry.

I looked back to him and smiled seeing him all happy with the other three. I should just say I got him nothing. He'd understand wouldn't he?

Eren's POV:

I looked away from Armin, but knew something was worrying him. We'd talk about it as soon as I got a chance to get away from the girls.

"Hmmm…My gifts." I said recalling Hanji's question with a chuckle. "Oooh! You mean the one's stashed in Mikasa's closet?" I asked with a fake tone of innocents. Thins walls, you guys, thin walls.

"Tsk!"

"Ow!" I said then chuckled, Levi had pinched my cheek on the pass-by most liking going back to get them, and Mikasa shoved me playfully, though she looked kind of disappointed.

"H-Hey Levi it's okay! I'm gonna eat first! Then I'll open everything." I yelled for him, looking back to see him, turn around halfway there. I looked back and saw that the others had helped themselves to my breakfast. I didn't say anything because of how much there was, but I did give Mikasa and Armin a crazy look that they didn't acknowledge when I saw them pick off strawberries and blueberries first.

"So you guys are up early. What for?" I asked, grabbing another plate and sliding towards my unfinished waffle plate. "You didn't come all this way for me did you?" I continued to eat to eat as we spoke.

"Well yes and no-mph, this is good-We got stuff to do with Levi!" Hanji answered with a grin.

"Don't talk with your mouthful." I, and even Levi, told her in unison with an anger and despair mark.

"You were doing it earlier…" Mikasa pointed out, Levi also backing up that comment. I just turned away slightly with a light blush across my cheeks.

"S-Stuff with my Levi? On my birthday?" I asked…Now recalling my words just now because she was laughing. Oh god! I covered my face blushing. "That's not what I meant!"

The woman just grinned and dusted off her hands. I watched her embarrassingly as she got up left…Just went down the hall.

"Where's she going?" I looked to Mikasa who shrugged watching the woman leave, then go into my room.

"Hey!" I got up running after her. The last thing I need her doing is doing through my stuff! She'll find it! No!

But by the time I got there and reached the door, she busted back out with my favorite black and green hooded jacket, and started shoving me in it.

"Put this on! You're gonna be late!" Hanji said forcing me into it as I struggled.

"H-Hey! Late for what?!" I asked now, Hanji you have no idea how annoyed I am now, but she was probably laughing at that too! I was trying to check if anything in my room was out of place, but was shoved back down the hall before I could see anything.

"A time out with your friends! Stuff and junk that teenagers do!" Hanji said shoving me at the door. She was a lot stronger than I thought.

"Okay, okay c'mon, c'mon the rest of you out!" She said and I saw her gesturing out Mikasa and Armin.

"But wait! I-" I had to get back inside! I couldn't leave with Hanji having access to my room! I-

"C'mon man! We're going out it's your birthday!" I looked back hearing his voice and saw Connie who was pulling me out the door.

"Connie, nuuuu! Hanji-saaaan!" I whined reaching out for the glasses wearing woman who just stood there waving with a big grin on her face.

"Bye Eren! Buh bye!" She then slammed the door.

POV Over:

"Well played." Petra said with a sweatdrop.

Levi worn an anger and despair mark. "Don't slam my door…"

"No harm done!" Hanji said still grinning. "Now come on we got things to do!"

Levi grumbled turning to the cabinet and pulling out all the things they needed to turn his house into a big 'colorful shitty mess' as he called it. It's what he gets for letting Hanji bring all the shit over.

"Hm?" Petra walked over and picked up a small bottle filled with colorful pieces. "I didn't think you were one for confetti." Petra said looking to Levi with a smile.

"It's messy but…I'm sure Eren wouldn't mind. Now we'll start with these first." Levi said pulling out the streamers and balloons, and the three got to work.

And this be where it ends. Next chapter'll be Levi's endurance of decorating with Hanji and Petra-san and Eren's endurance with the rest of his friends 'getting in his way'. Comments please!
