Hi everybody! I'm baaaaaaack! Hope you like this next chapter! It's got a little of the Levi x Eren action you've been waiting for. Just a little though. Sorry! Also a bit of Levi's POV. Please review and let me know what you think. And thanks for those who waited for the update. Sorry it's late. ;-3
Chapter 3
Regret.
That was all Eren could see, think, feel, hear, or touch. Heck, he could probably taste it too. For the past two days, he had done everything he could think of to try and get back at Levi, only to have it always backfire painfully. He had come up with his own pranks, looked up pranks on the internet, even went with some of the classics like putting a bucket of water over a slightly open door and have the victim walk under it only to get drenched. Nothing had worked so far, and Eren was on the verge of giving up. In the past hour alone, Eren had slipped in the shower (vegetable oil on shower floor), consumed ghost pepper sauce (it was on his toothbrush), and fallen down the stairs (tripwire). Those ideas had been his originally, but Levi seemed to always be able to sense the trap, avoid it, and find some worse way to use it on Eren. The vegetable oil had originally been on the porch steps outside, so that Levi would fall on his way out to the gym (this surprised Eren), the ghost pepper sauce had originally been in Levi's dinner (they had chili that night), and the tripwire had originally been tied behind Levi's chair, so that when he scooted it back when he excused himself, he would have toppled backwards with it (apparently, Levi didn't scoot his chair back, he slid out of his seat). It had been three days since Levi got here, and Eren was already considering asking (begging) him to go back.
Why did I have to open my damn mouth? Eren wondered silently, cursing himself.
He was currently laying on his bed with an ice pack to his face, and a cup of milk on his nightstand. He visibly flinched when he heard the door open and saw Levi enter. Levi looked at the miserable younger brunette and grinned.
"You don't look so good brat."
"Shut up." came Eren's muffled reply.
"Hey, you were the one who decided to start all these pranks and stuff. I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine." his grin widened. "So, tell me Eren, how does it taste?"
"Like ghost pepper sauce," Eren grumbled, earning a hearty chuckle from Levi.
"Well, angel, that's what you get when you mess with the wrong people."
"Don't call me that," Eren groaned, blushing from under his ice pack. Eren didn't think Levi could see any of his face under that ice pack, but something must have let him on because Levi's smile turned into a seductive smirk.
"But why not? I know you like it."
Was it just Eren, or did Levi suddenly get a French accent? True, Levi lived there, and true, he could speak the language fluently, but he had learned to speak in the U.S., so there was no accent...unless it was forced. At this realization, Eren blushed more. Was Levi...flirting with him? Surely not, right? After all, Levi hated him and he hated Levi...right?
Man, this guy is confusing.
"What was that, angel?" Levi asked, drawing closer.
Shit! I said that out loud!
"Nothing! I didn't say anything!" Eren was disappointed to hear his voice had risen an octave.
"Oh, it's so easy to get under your skin. Hm...I wonder if it's as easy to get under your clothes?" Yep. Levi definitely sounded French now...
"WHAT!? EW! NO WAY YOU PERVERT!" Eren yelled and hopped off the bed, running out of the room, leaving a hysterical Levi, who was currently laughing harder than he had his entire life.
Levi POV
When Levi finally got his laughing under control, he was red-faced and breathless. Every time he would start to calm down, the image of a flustered, wide-eyed Eren hightailing it out of his own room would flood his thoughts and start the laughing cycle all over.
Well, the brat's definitely a virgin. Levi thought to himself. The idea amused him, surprised him even. He wouldn't have guessed that such an attractive brat was a virgin. Now, mind you, just because Levi thought he was attractive didn't mean he liked him. Levi was gay and found some girls attractive, but it didn't mean he wanted to be with them. Levi did have to admit though, that those sea-green eyes of his were mesmerizing. And that flawless tan skin? Gorgeous.
Hm...we'll just have to see how this plays out, won't we? If I like the brat, I like him, and if I don't, well then, that's his loss. With one final smirk, Levi walked to the bathroom to shower and prepare for bed.
Eren's POV again
Eren was busy pacing downstairs, wondering what the hell just happened, and what he should do about it, when he decided to text that little genius Armin. He almost always had great advice. And besides, it's not like Eren could ask Mikasa. Levi was her cousin for crying out loud! And Eren didn't want to make her uncomfortable.
Eren: Hey, can i talk 2 u?
Armin: Yeah. What's up?
Eren: Levi flirted with me earlier, i cant tell if he was joking or serious. What should i do?
Armin: 0_0 He WHAT!? What did you do?
Eren: Make a fool of myself. What else?
Armin: Well, you have three options:
Act like it never happened
Go along with it ;-3
Be yourself and act how you would normally act
Eren: Thx man, i owe u
Armin: So...do you like him?
Eren: Of course not! Why would u say that? U saw how he acted on his first day here. How could I possibly like that?
Armin: You said yourself that you were bisexual. So, it is a potential possibility.
Eren: No way! Never gonna happen!
Armin: Then please don't be mad at me.
Eren: Um...why would i be mad?
Armin: 'Cause I ship it! XD
Eren: ARMIN!
