So... I've been probably the world's worst author. I'm two months late on my stories. I would just like to announce that if I don't get more publicity on my Tokyo Ghoul story, I'm dropping it. I don't want to, I love that story, but I'm gonna do it if others disagree. So yeah. I might start a new story. But anyways...

Part of an excuse is I've been on vacation and I needed to save up money for that so I've been working and stuff. However, that's not a good enough excuse and I know that. BUT! I've been working hard for the past week! And I am proud to say I've edited my AOT story and wrote up three whole chapters for you all!

Enjoy! 3

Walking all they way to Levi's house was tiring. It wasn't a long walk at all, just a few blocks away from his now burnt down home, but it was tiring because he had to carry his things all the way there. Not only that, but he had very weak lungs at the moment after almost collapsing inside his house. The older male had offered to carry his things, but the brunette flat out refused to let him touch his stuff, not even the heavy gear he had.

When they got to his place Eren looked up from the ground and saw that the man had the cleanest, little white house he'd ever seen. It makes sense, knowing the habits Levi had. He also noticed that there were no plants surrounding the home, except for the grass.

(It doesn't feel very homely on the outside, no real colors or even a chair or two to sit on on the front porch.)

"Eren, let's go inside." the raven haired man said, pulling the brunette out of his thoughts. He stepped up the porch steps behind Levi, watching as the man pulled out a key from his pocket and unlocked the door, opening it slowly as he stepped inside. Eren walked in after him, and they both took their shoes off and Levi took away the things the brunette had been holding and set them down on the table in the living room. The brunette didn't even have a chance to refuse like he wanted to before he took them away.

(The inside of this house is just as plain as the outside..)

Eren couldn't help but feel that the house reflected on its owner very well, at least the man he knew from the academy. Levi didn't need very much to get by, but the brunette knew that if he looked in his supply closet he'd probably see the biggest collection of cleaning supplies he'd ever seen.

(The fucking clean freak...)

Eren looked down at his uniform and noticed how dirty it was from when he was in the fire. It was stained grey on his white pants and the rest of his uniform smelled like a camp fire. The brunette wasn't a clean addict like Levi, but he did pick up on some of the man's cleaning habits. Even he knew he needed a bath, and to wash his entire uniform.

"You should get a bath. I'll get it ready for you and wash your clothes while you're getting cleaned up." the older male said. Eren nodded his head and silently followed him to the bathroom. Levi ran the bath for him and left him alone as he got undressed and got into the tub. As much as Eren knew the man wanted to see him naked, he kept his respectful, professional distance and let him bathe in peace. The only time Levi came into the room was to retrieve the dirty clothes to wash. "I'll get you some of my pajamas for you to wear, I hope you don't mind." the raven haired man said before leaving the room. He came back a few minutes later to place the clothes down near the tub.

(Why is he being so fucking nice? It's actually creeping me out.)

Eren got out of the bath after washing up and put on the clothes Levi had left him. It was just a simple button up night shirt with matching pants. He was surprised that it actually fit him considering that he was actually bigger than the man. After finally walking out of the bathroom, he walked around the house before going to the kitchen. He was just taking a nice stroll to get to know the place when he smelled something cooking in the kitchen. When he arrived, he found Levi making noodles. He couldn't tell what kind it was exactly, but it smelled surprisingly good.

"I figured you'd be hungry, so I whipped up some of my special noodles. It's something I made up a long time ago," Levi said as he finished up cooking and poured it into a bowl. Giving me a pair of chopsticks, I sat down at the small table he had.

"Why are you doing all this for me? I feel like such a burden when you go out of your way to help me after I'd been such a dick to you," Eren asked and the older male sat next to him and gestured for him to eat as he began to speak.

"Eren, you're not a burden, but you were a dick. I figured you'd need somewhere to go and some food in your belly after your house burned down. Just because you've been so cold to me lately doesn't mean I don't still care about you," Eren spoke up between bites of the noodles.

"But I don't think it's fair that you've been so nice to me after what I said to you a week ago. You're going out of your way to wash my clothes, make me food and even give me some of your clothes to wear."

"It's not as big of a deal as you think, Eren. Besides, I can't have you living out on the streets. I'm sure Mikasa would take you in anytime if you don't want to be here," Levi said, and it caused the brunette to look down to the floor.

"I don't want to bother her with my problems. She's starting her life with Armin, so it'd be wrong of me to intrude on their happiness," Levi chuckled a bit.

"Geez, Eren. You really haven't changed much. You've gotta learn to let people help you," the smile on his face made the brunette look down and shove more food into his mouth to keep Levi from seeing the major blush on his face.

(Fuck your laugh, and your smile, Levi.)

"Oh, I meant to ask you something," Eren finally said after finishing all of his noodles.

"Ask away," Levi replied and the rudeness of Eren's question was laughable by all means.

"How the hell do these clothes fit me? I mean I'm definitely bigger than you in clothing size," Levi's brow twitched in annoyance.

"Just for that, you can sleep on the couch tonight. And for your information, I bought those awhile ago, but they were too big for me. I figured they'd be better for you to wear than any of my clothing," Levi stood up from the table and took Eren's bowl to wash and led him to the room had walls the same grey as Levi's eyes and everything else in the room was white. The bed was huge, most likely a king size and looked pretty expensive. The brunette figured that, with a corporal's salary, there'd be a bit more expensive furniture in the house like the bed. Then again, the older male wasn't one for luxurious things. He was a bit shocked that the man bought even this. "You're gonna sleep here tonight."

"What? I thought I was sleeping on the couch."

"I changed my mind," Eren shook his head.

"No, no way! I'll sleep on the couch! I can't take your bed after all you've done for me!" Levi walked over to the door looking annoyed.

"Too bad. If you need anything, I'll be sleeping on the couch. Goodnight," with that, the older male left the room with Eren in it looking dumbfounded. Without realizing it, he started laughing.

"Finally, the old Levi's back," the brunette reluctantly crawled into bed.

(When did it come to this? Me smiling again over a simple little thing like his attitude? I don't even think I can hate him now. He's been so nice to me even after the cruel things I've said to him.)

Eren smacked his hands onto his face in frustration.

(I'm such an idiot! He's been trying to make up with me and is even going to such trouble and letting me stay over!)

He slid his hands slowly down his face in frustration.

(The least I could do is be nicer to him.)

After awhile of thinking up a way to thank Levi for letting him stay at his home, the brunette finally decided to sleep. The bed was extremely comfortable and it sent him into dream land in no time. The next morning, Eren got up out of bed and sleepily walked into the kitchen to find Levi in there already making breakfast. The older male noticed the brunette standing there and looked over at him.

"Morning," he said.

"Morning," Eren replied yawning all the while.

"I have to go out today and do some patrolling along the walls," Levi said as he skillfully flipped the omelet he was making. Eren walked over to the counter next to him.

"I have to do that tomorrow," Eren said leaning down and putting his elbows on the counter while watching the raven haired man cook.

"I washed your uniform. I'm sure you need to buy some more clothes, so we can do that before I go on patrol. I'll buy it for you," the brunette's eyes widened.

"Y-you don't have to do that for me! I can manage to buy myself an outfit or two!" he said not wanting the man do go out of his way anymore than he already has.

"You should be saving up your money to get yourself a new house. I'll buy you all the other things you'll be needing while you're living here," he said and slid the omelet he had been making onto a plate. There was already another one made so he picked it up and carried both of the omelets to the table and the two men sat down.

"While I'm living here?" Eren asked. The older male nodded as he handed the brunette his chopsticks.

"You should stay here until you get a new home," the brunette looked down at his lap.

"But I've already taken your bed one night, I can't possibly keep doing that," the older male gave him an annoyed look.

"I could always sleep with you in the bed instead of on the couch," Eren glared at the perverted Levi. "You really need to learn to accept a person's offerings without complaining, brat."

"I am not a brat! I'm 18 now!" Eren glared at the man, which only made him laugh.

"In my eyes, you're still not mature enough if you don't accept my offer and choose to live on the streets. There's a fine line between being responsible and being immature," the brunette looked away, mumbling under his breath.

"I'm still mature enough for you in bed."

"What was that, Eren?"

"N-nothing!" Levi's eyes narrowed, but in a more relaxed way.

"Aha, right."

Little did Eren know, Levi heard exactly what he said, and it made him a bit happier to know that the brunette still thought about their past relationship. Maybe he did have hope in getting the brunette back.
