Chapter 3: I Didn't Say That

53 hours of punishment in our rooms, 60 hours of cleaning; that's what Levi gave us.

"Damn" I growled laying down, what the hell am I supposed to do cooped up in my room for 53 hours? I spent the day pacing, wishing I had a pen and paper, and napping; by nightfall I was half asleep. As the door opened, I pretend to be asleep, I should have pushed our beds apart so he could know how mad at him I was.

I listened to him take off his shoes and gear, then the sound of sweeping and mopping. He does it every night before going to sleep like clock work, after cleaning he laid down beside me and I could feel his breath on my nose. "Eren" he whispers, I tried not to smile or move my closed eyes; I wanted to ignore the man.

I froze as his warm hand touched my cheek and he ran his fingers through my hair, "Eren, are you awake?" he asked. I said nothing and tried my best not to change my breathing even though I felt my heart beat faster.

"I love you" he whispered. YO WHAT THE FUCK. Levi kissed me and then it was quiet.

After a few minutes of thinking, I had a feeling that he had gone to sleep; he loved me?' I felt myself blush, why was he kind when he knows I can't hear him!

I was no longer mad at Levi, I guess it was reasonable to punish Armin and I. It's not like he banned us from eating like he did Potato girl for sneaking out food last week. I opened my eyes and froze as Levi was still staring at me; "Oh Eren, why do you pretend to sleep" he sighed.

I sat up quickly, "W-Why are you still staring at me!" I huffed emmbarest jolted up from bed. I gasped as he pulled me back down by his side, "Shut up, everyone will hear you" he whispered.

I rolled my eyes and turned over so that my back was facing him, "You're a jerk" I whisper. I felt my heart race as his warm breath poked at the back on my neck, "Do you hate me, Eren?" He asked. I opened my eyes and thought for a moment, "... No." I whisper back.

"What were you doing with Armin?" He asked. I turned around facing him once again, "Nothing!... Eh, I thought it'd be a good Idea for us to dress up and surprise you; we weren't doing anything… Anything sexual… I-I just wanted to get your attention." I whisper a bit upset.

His face was as cold as it always is, "I know, I just wanted to hear it from you, good night Eren" he whispered turning his back to me. I sighed, was it me or was he still upset… Or relieved? I don't know… All his expressions are the same. "Thank you" I whispered. "For what?" he asked. "You know… For saying that you loved me, I love you too Levi" I teased cuddling him.

Levi: "I didn't say that"

Eren: "Yes you did, I heard you!"

Levi: "You heard wrong"

Eren: "W-What! I'm not deaf, you said 'I love you Eren' when you thought I was asleep"

Levi: "You must have dreamt it"

Eren: "..."

Levi: "It's nice to know that you love me though"

Eren: "This is some that bullshit…"

Levi: "Good night Eren"

Eren: *Screams in Hidden*
