"You got a little," Eren holds back a snicker. "Little something right here." He points at his own chin.

Levi glares at him as he dabs away the spot of sauce. "Well you have 'annoying' written all over your face." He retorts, his gray eyes flashing.

Eren smiles, used to Levi's constant insults. He twirls his chopsticks into his spicy chicken pasta and lifts it to his mouth. He eats the noodles and dives back in for he last piece of meat.

The captain sighs and sets down his own chopsticks, pushing back his bowl. He looks around at the busy mall with little intrest. He doesn't pay attention when Eren is talking to the waitress about the bill. A few minutes later, Levi is brought back to reality by Eren waving his hand in front of Levi's eyes. "What?" He snaps.

"I asked if you were ready to go." Eren ignores Levi's grouchy tone.

Levi answers by scooting back his chair and taking off. Eren shakes his head and sighs before going after him. He follows Levi into a small boutique.

Levi wanders into the cooking ware and looks back at Eren with a small smile. "Hey. Eren."

"What is it?" Eren asks warily.

Levi pulls out a pink apron with cupcakes all over it. "Try it on."

"Not happening."

"Come on..." Levi scoots behind the taller boy and pulls the apron over Eren's head. He ties it with a flourish. "There."

Eren makes a 'tired-of-your-crap' face. "I look dumb."

"You look cute," Levi corrects.

"Fine, if i have to wear this then..." Eren picks up a poofy white hat that says 'kiss the chef'. He smiles cutely and puts it onto Levi's head.

Levi raises a slim eyebrow. "Hmm?"

Eren kisses Levi softly, cupping his cheek with his hand. He slides his other hand to Levi's middle back. Levi tilts his head and kisses Eren back. Levi suddenly stops and pulls back, cheeks a bit pink.

"Let's go." He takes off the hat quickly and strides out of the store.

"Wait Levi-" Eren breaks off and looks after the small man. What was that all about? He asks himself before tagging after his love. He has to jog to catch up. "Can we get some icecream?" He bats his bright green eyes at Levi.

Levi nods. "Alright, come on." He heads toward the icecream gandola.

Eren reaches out to hold his hand, but after a quick look around, Levi pulls away. "Levi..."

Levi sidles up to the counter. "What do you want?"

"Umm..." Eren has to think about it.

"I'll have a scoop of peppermint and a scoop of vanilla." Levi orders for himself.

"Cone or cup?" A tired Connie asks.

"Cup."

"Well... I'll have some soft serve chocolate please." Eren chooses. "In a waffle cone."

Connie plugs their order into the register. "$7.83, please."

Levi slides a smooth 10 onto the counter. "Round it up and give me back two ones."

Connie gives Levi a look but does as requested then goes back to retrieve their icecream.

Eren smiles. Levi can't stand loose change. They get their treats before going deeper into the mall. Levi ventures into the Victoria's Secret to scout the panties.

Eren hesitates before following him relucantly into the lingerie store. When he finds Levi, he has a devilish look on his face. "What?"

Levi holds up a pair of black lacy panties. "Try them on."

"Wh-what?" Eren blushes brightly. "No way!"

"Come on." Levi insists. "You'd look really hot in them." He pushes them into Eren's hands.

Eren give Levi a look but relents. He sighs. "Okay..." He goes into the dressing room, kicking Levi out when he tries to go in with him.

Levi waits 'patienly' until Eren calls him in. "So? How are they?"

Eren peeks around the door, keeping his body hidden other than his tan shoulders. "Um..."

"Well, go on. Let's see."

Eren quickly shakes his head with a blush. "N-no."

Levi crosses his arms and rocks his hips to the side. "Why not?"

"It uhmm... it's really... exposing."

Levi gives him a look. "That's the point, Jeager."

Eren averts his eyes and starts to close the door but Levi holds it open.

"Let. Me. See." Levi narrows his eyes. "Last chance."

Eren shakes his head stubbornly." No."

Levi pushes the door open and Eren backs up in suprise. Levi slams Eren into the wall, placing a hand on his bare thigh. He strokes smooth fingers along Eren's soft skin and Eren shivers.

"Hmm..." Levi plants a kiss on Eren's neck. "I think..." He kisses him again, this time on his jawline. He moves his other hand to Eren's lower back and pushes closer to him. "These will do." He tilts his head and begins to descend his mouth onto Eren's.

"Mommy, what are they doing?" A young girl peeks curiously at the two boys.

Eren jumps away from Levi's touch, bright red in the face. He apologizes profusely to the mother, after putting clothes on. Levi just looks on with an unreadable expression. Eren, hoping to please Levi, goes to checkout the underwear.

Levi doesn't seem to notice and hangs around outside the store. He peers in to see what's taking so long. Eren smiles brightly at Mikasa, who is working the register, and hands her his card. She reaches out and holds onto his hand instead of taking it. She smiles at him.

Levi clenches his fists and his breath deepens. Time stops for him until he's only seeing Mikasa's hand on his Eren. He feels like just punching the glass but manages to stalk away.

Eren comes out a few minutes later with a small bag. "Huh?" He looks around. "Levi?" He checks his phone for a message, thinking Levi might have gotten sick again, but frowns when there is none. "Where could he be?" He searches for Levi with no luck. He takes out his phone again and dials Levi's number by memory. It rings but there's no answer. "Damnitt." Eren shoves his phone back into his pocket. He looks everywhere on the bottom floor before tring Levi's phone again. It rings four times and Eren is about to give up when Levi answers.

"Levi!" Eren half yells in relief, ignoring the stares people are giving him.

"Jeager." Levi says simply.

As his relief fades away, it soon turns to anger. "Where the hell are you?! Why haven't you picked up your phone?!"

"Stop yelling, you're hurting my head. Probably the pretty girls' around you, too." He says under his breath.

"I wouldn't be yelling if you hadn't taken off!" Eren blinks. "And what are you talking about?"

"Nothing. It doesn't matter."

"Whatever, where are you?"

"Look up."

Eren glances up at the second floor and spots Levi cleaning the glass barriers with his handkerchief, his cell phone on his shoulder pressed against his ear. Eren sighs. "Of course... I'll be up in a minute, stay there."

"No," Levi stands, tucking the cloth back into his pocket. "I'll meet you in the parking garage."

"What? Wait I'll-"

Levi hangs up and walks out of sight, gray boots clicking on the hard surface floor.

Eren sighs heavily and slides his phone back. Why is he so difficult? He grabs a spot on an elevator and goes to the parking garage floor where he parked his old Mustang. He waits around for Levi for about five minutes before the elevator tings and Levi steps out.

"Alright, I'm heading home-"

Eren pushes Levi to the wall forcefully. "First, you're going to tell me what the hell is wrong."

Levi looks up at him. "What are you talking about?"

Eren scowls. "You think haven't noticed? You taking off multiple times without? Not letting me kiss you in the store? The way zoned out in the dressing room? Not answering your phone? Come on, I'm not that dense. I know something's wrong."

"Tch." Levi looks away. "It doesn't matter."

Eren moves his face closer. "Yes. It does. Please, Levi... just tell me what's wrong."

"Isn't obvious?" Levi spits. "It's us. We're wrong."

Eren blinks in suprise. "What?"

"We're both guys yet we do things like kiss and go on dates with each other. Don't you want a girlfriend Eren?"

Eren raises a brow. "But I have you."

"What, a short guy with a bad attidude, OCD, and insults you all the time? Any guy in his right mind would go after some nice, pretty girl." Levi pauses and looks down. "Like Mikasa."

"Like Mikasa?" Eren echos. "You're kidding. She's like a sister. And I love all of those things about you."

Levi shakes his head. "You're embarrassed by me, I don't blame you."

"What? I never said-"

Levi interupts him. "It doesn't matter. Didn't you see the way everyone was looking at us? Even your old school mate Connie was looking."

"Connie's a nerd, and they dont matter." Eren frowns "I want you Levi, not some pet girl I can carry around on my arm."

Levi doesnt say anything for a while. "I think... it would be best if we stopped seeing each other."

What?!" Eren's eyes widen. "You're joking! just because you cant handle acouple of teenaged girls looking at you?" He exclaims.

"Not just because of that, but yes."

Eren smiles sadly and shakes his head. "You're just a coward. What about love, Levi? You swore you loved me. So you're a liar too?"

Levi flinches. "No I... I do love you Eren."

"Apparently you dont. Eren steps back. You're a cold" another step, tears pool in his eyes. "Heartless man levi ackerman. i dont..." He sniffles and wipes his eyes. "I dont..."

Levi just shakes his head and starts to walk away.

"Levi!" Eren calls after him. "If... If you walk away now... you can't come back!"

Levi pauses. He looks as if he might turn around but... he leaves without looking back, not once.

Eren falls against his car, biting his lip trying not to cry. He opens the door quickly and throws himself in, putting his hand over his mouth to hold back a sob. "He's..." his voice cracks. "He's not coming back is he...

The End

for now
