.o.
The Corporal and I hadn't ended up doing anything naughty-like in the shower we took earlier in the day. But now, my fuse was beginning to get short. I want to kiss the Corporal- softly. I want the kiss to tell him how important he is to me; how much I care for him. I want to wrap the Corporal in my warm embrace, and whisper in his ear that everything is going to be okay. Though, I was never really taught how to express feelings like these ones I have.
Tonight, Levi has planned to take me out on the town again. It wasn't much of a surprise to me when he told me, though. We do this every night: the master taking his pet for a walk. But.. I have this.. this want deep inside me to change our regular schedule from now on. I want to change it all- starting tonight.
I trembled slightly in anticipation as Levi leaned in close to me to wrap my dark brown collar around my neck for our midnight walk. The Corporal's lips twitched up into a half sneer, half smirk, noticing my anxiousness.
"What is it that has you so excited, pet?" He asked, his tone not so polite. Levi stood up straight once again once he was finished buckling my collar and stared up at me in awaiting question. I swallowed, rather loudly. I could feel my heart thumping away in my chest and I was nervous to think that the Corporal could hear it, too. I wanted to just lean down as quick as my neck would allow me and just kiss him. I would kiss him, pick him up and gently place him on the bed. We would stay like that, for a few minutes, simply relishing in each other's presence. I would whisper in his ear that I loved him-
Wait.. Love? I barely even know what love is! I dearly love Armin and Mikasa, but love for another person whom I barely know anything about? Im.. Impossible.. I couldn't love the Corporal. Not yet, at least. I knew my feelings were strong for the other man, but it can't go so far as love, can it? Love doesn't come at an easy price, and since we're in this day and age where we're constantly being attacked by horrifying monsters, I just don't know if I'd be able to cope with having to put so much trust in Levi on the battlefield.
".. What the hell is up with you? Are you fucking deaf or something?" Levi spat at me in impatience. Oh shit, I realized, I hadn't answered his question. My mind became off track so quickly, I hadn't even noticed!
"I-I'm sorry, Corporal! It won't happen again!" I exclaimed, feeling completely and utterly embarrassed. He tells me I'm such a good pet, and I honestly do hope that he's not just saying it to get my hopes up.
"Tch. You say that every time. Now come on, we're leaving," The Corporal tugged on my leash (since when did he attach it to my collar?), signalling me to hurry up. I obliged quickly and trotted forwards, allowing him to lead me to the door. Levi opened the door wide, and we both exited, him locking it afterwards. We had begun walking side by side, and the strict grip on my leash that the Corporal had on it loosened slightly. I was glad that he could at least trust me enough to believe that I won't run away.
The night sky was gorgeous, as always. The constellations shone bright among the other stars, and there was a not a single dark cloud in sight. The air was nice and crisp, too. I loved this time that I spent with the Corporal- it was just so relaxing. Plus, it was nice to get out of the house besides training and battling and whatnot. No conversation was ever made during our walks, it simply wasn't needed. The Corporal and I always walked rather close to each other, as if one of us was cold and the other was there to radiate heat. I desperately wanted to wrap my arm around Levi's waist and pull him close. If he was cold, I would gladly assist him in becoming warm again.
The constant reminder of how I wanted to change tonight floated around in my head and I just couldn't get my mind off of it. I needed to get this done, or else I wouldn't forgive myself. I needed, desperately needed, to know if the Corporal felt the same towards me.
I spotted an upcoming dark alleyway, maybe a few meters ahead of us. I was going to pull Levi in there and confess.
This was it; no turning back now.
As soon as we reached the alley, I quickly grasped the Corporal's hand and yanked him into the dark, narrow road. He made a grunt of surprise and confusion while I did so, which made me somewhat pleased to hear. I pinned Levi against the near side of a building and rested my individual hands beside his head. Through the dark, I saw his eyes slightly wide. My heart was racing, and I swore I was going to have a heart attack at any moment.
".. What the hell do you think you're doing?" The Corporal asked, sounding a tad confused and pissed off. As he spoke, I could feel the tiniest bit of warm air that left his mouth over my lips. It reminded me of this morning, when Levi and I were pressed close together in the shower.
"Corporal Levi.. Sir.. I.." I began, but I froze up. I didn't.. I didn't know what to say or how to say it! My heart rate must have been off the charts by now.
"Yeah? Spit it out; what is it?" He snapped, his tone beginning to sound impatient and more angry.
Slowly, I took a nice big deep inhale and exhaled, attempting to calm my nerves. I leant in closer to the Corporal, our foreheads nearly touching and just barely the tips of our noses brushed together. I licked my chapped, dry lips, wanting to prepare myself for whatever was to come.
".. I.. I like you. I have for a while.. And- and in the shower earlier, I wanted to kiss you, Corporal. I can't help these feelings I have for you. I don't know why I had to fall for you, but I did.. And I can't change that. I.. I-I'm sorry.." I went on confidently until the last few words. My voice softened around then, and I began to lean away, not liking the silence I was recieving from the Corporal very much.
Just as I was beginning to lean away, a sudden tug on my leash yanked me back so I was directly face-to-face with Levi again. Our gazes, through the dark air, locked and I couldn't seem to look away; I was transfixed.
"What did I tell you, Eren? You're such a good pet. I knew you've felt something for me for a while now, it's not that damn hard to ignore. You stare, you gawk, you like having any sort of contact with me and you watch me while I have my back to you. I've known, Eren." Levi explained, his voice dangerously low. Somehow, his tone had changed, as well. He slowly, dreadfully slowly continued to pull my leash closer to him. Our faces were mere millimeters by the time he stopped.
"Good boy," The Corporal whispered before crashing his lips onto mine. Without a second thought, I shut my eyes and my arms wound around his waist tightly. I felt Levi release my leash and bury one of his hands in my hair and the other dig his nails into the back of my neck. I groaned lightly against his lips; I couldn't help but be sensitive there.
Our mouths melded together, our tongues tangled and swirled around one another and our teeth clashed on occassion. Sharing a kiss like this with Levi was something I would never be able to forget. As we kissed, I felt his nails drag up the remainder of the back of my neck, then drag slowly back down. I held back a moan that desperately wanted to escape.
Too soon, we broke the kiss and panted softly into the cool night air.
"Do you.. feel the same, Corporal..?" I murmured quietly, wanting an answer from him. I confessed, so why couldn't he? Levi smirked as he replied.
"I won't answer unless you call me by my.. 'title'.." He hinted, digging his nails a little harder into the back of my neck. I inwardly rolled my eyes. Clever, the Corporal was.
"... Do you feel the same way towards me.. M.. Master?" I reiterated in the same tone as before.
"Hmm.. Yeah, why the hell not?" Levi answered along with a shrug. I was surprised, yet definitely pleased to say the least. I felt my lips curve up into a large grin.
"Really?" Was all I could say. I didn't want to make my excitement that noticeable.
"Yeah. I mean, you're definitely not bad looking. And you're probably not that bad in bed, either."
I immediately felt my cheeks burn up into a hot pink shade.
"C-Corporal..!"
The Corporal and I kissed a few more times before deciding to head home together. After we entered the house, he faced me and removed my collar from my neck. Levi set it down on the nearby kitchen counter and went back to standing directly in front of me, pressed close to me. He tilted my head down a little and whispered some.. rather indiscreet.. things into my ear, which in turn caused me to blush in embarrassment. It was a mystery to me how comfortable with saying those kinds of things that the Corporal was. Levi grasped my hand and lead me to our bedroom.
I made love to my Corporal that night. It was special, to say the least. Not to mention loud and rough and hot and.. Oh, it was better than words could describe. But what mattered was that Levi returned my feelings.
I remembered how I admired him from a far when I was just a child, but now, I could admire his sweaty, scarred, beautiful frame from the comfort of his own bed. I pulled the Corporal close to me and refused to release him that night. I slept peacefully with Levi in my arms and me and Levi's hold.
Though love doesn't come cheap, it was definitely worth it to spend it all on Corporal Levi.
