Chapter 6 – Eren
Friday
As I was pulling the covers of the bed, planning to the call it a night, I could feel my joints and my arms aching from all the work we did earlier. The soft blanket felt like it weighs tons as I pull it away for me to dive under it.
"Thank god for inventing soft beds." I moaned the moment my back touched the surface of the bed. I could feel my tight muscles loosened at touch and my bones sighing in pleasure. "I never knew kayaking was so hard."
Earlier today, I saw that Levi has a kayak in his storage room. It looks unused and since we don't have anything planned for today, I bugged him to kayak with me. He was very reluctant at first, but after much pleading and puppy faces, he surrendered.
Levi was on the other side of the room, pulling his shirt to his head and letting it fall to hug his toned body. "It wouldn't be if you knew how to paddle." Levi rolled his eyes and threw the other side of the blanket towards my face, making me drown with the softness of the cloth. I immediately removed the blanket that covered my face, childishly stuck my tongue out to him and replied, "Look who's talking, as if you also knew how to paddle."
"I know I'm not good at kayaking, that's why I never use it." Levi lied down beside me and pulled the cover towards him. "You're the one who won't stop bugging me unless we do."
I just shrugged and scooted over to Levi's side. "Well I had fun even though we just went around circles." Chuckling, I wrapped my arms around Levi and pulled him closer to me. "I mean, when we're already far from the shore, I could only see the blue of the ocean. It felt like we were the only person in the world. At that moment, I thought that I would definitely love a world where it's only the two of us."
Levi pulled my head towards him and placed a kiss on top of it, a kiss that felt like he was saying 'me too'. I smiled at the simple gesture. We don't need words to understand each other, we're still quite the same as we were in the past, and a kiss or a mere flinch between us could mean a thousand words.
I let myself sink to the feel of Levi's arms around me and mine around his body. Every crook and curve of his frame fits perfectly to me, as if we were created to be together. Deciding to cut the silence, I squeezed Levi closer to me before I climbed on top of him, straddling his waist. "So," I wagged my eyebrows at him suggestively, a grin present on my lips. "Shouldn't we do something productive before we go to sleep?"
Levi pushed me off of his waist, making me fall towards my side of the bed. He propped himself up using his elbow and stared at me, a smug look present in his face. "I thought you're dead tired and that your bones are aching? Shouldn't you just sleep?"
"Well," I dragged out the syllable as I slowly scoot over towards him. "This and that are separate things. I'm never too tired for you." I winked at him at the last bit.
"Horny brat." Levi rolled his eyes as I place my arms around his neck.
I smirked after he spoke and drew him closer to me, pulling in for a kiss. "You love it." I said before sealing his lips with mine.
A sigh immediately left my mouth when I felt him respond to my kiss, his lips soft and warm against mine. It was different from his fervent kisses before, right now, he's taking his time relishing the moment. As if we were savoring each other's lips and the feeling it evokes. It feels like I could memorize every part and curve of his lip and every taste and feel of his mouth as I push my tongue inside.
I was gone past the life of not having this feeling. It felt like I wouldn't be able to live without his body close to mine, making me dizzy with intoxication. I don't know how I could go back to the life without him making me crazy with want and need.
I moaned in delight when Levi pulled harshly on my hair, the sting turning into pleasure. As our tongues danced together to an unknown tune and our hands wandered all over each other's body, I wasn't able to realize that we're not wearing our clothes anymore.
I pulled away from Levi's lips to catch my breath, both of us panting hard from all the kissing. "You move fast." I puffed, a small chuckle leaving my mouth.
Levi pulled me in for a kiss once again and spoke with his lips pressed against mine, "It's your entire fault." He pushed me to my back and climbed on top of me. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him flush against my body, feeling his every smooth skin. I chuckled at how he was acting and responded as eagerly to his kiss. A shiver went through my entire body when I felt his hard member poking my inner thigh, all I could think about was how I wanted him inside me soon and fast.
But that could wait. For now, I wanted to relish this moment.
That night, all the tiredness I felt from kayaking turned into pleasure and the entire ache in my body turned into a good one. As Levi pushed me into bliss, everything vanished from my head. All I could feel was him; thrusting inside me, whispering all his love to my ears, tracing patterns all over my body, and chanting my name over and over again as he sunk to his own bliss.
I drowned myself to the pleasure of making love to the person who has my heart.
Saturday
"Good morning." I spoke, my voice hoarse from sleep. I peak through my heavy eyes and saw Levi propped on his elbow as he stared at me. "Like what you see?"
"I would if you brush your mouth, your breathe stinks."
I rubbed the sleep off of my eyes and yawned, stretching my arms out as I do so. I could feel my bones pop from our activity last night, and though my body aches, I feel as refreshed as before.
Feeling quite courageous, I breathed to his face. I let out a booming laugh when Levi cringed away from me, his face contorting into disgust. "Fuck brat. That's some poisonous gas you have."
Still laughing, I spoke, "You should've seen your face!"
"Just go brush your fucking teeth." Levi rolled his eyes and pushed himself up from the bed. "I'll make us some breakfast," Levi paused, taking a glimpse at the clock above the doorframe. It's quarter to 11. "Or lunch. Whatever." Levi started pulling his clothes on, he moved fast yet elegantly.
"Yes, yes!" I saluted at him, placing my fist to my heart, our salute as soldiers before. This earned me another eye roll from him before he left the room, a smile covering my whole face as I watch his retreating back.
I stretched my arms out again, twisting around the covers, and propped myself up from the bed. I sat at the corner and began searching for my clothes. As I was reaching for my sweats, which was almost under the bed, I heard a loud ring from the other side of the room.
It was Levi's cell phone.
Pulling my sweats up to my waist, I began trudging to the other side of the room where the bedside table is. Levi's phone was placed beside the lamp.
Dr. Hange's name was flashing on the screen.
I'm not actually planning on taking the call. I'm supposed to be giving it to Levi, but when I saw Dr. Hange's name on the screen, blinking back and forth at me, a sudden thought appeared on my mind, a thought that I had been pulling off.
It was about the surgery.
After much thinking and time spent here, I've finally made up my mind. I know things are not a hundred percent sure in this world, but me wanting to be with Levi is absolute. There's nothing more that I want than making Levi happy and being with him.
So, I took the phone to my hand and slid the call button, answering Dr. Hange's call. "Levi?"
"Good morning Dr. Hange." I spoke, my voice firm with resolve. "This is Eren. I have something I need to tell you."
It seems like no matter how much I try, I can't seem to do things right. No matter how much effort I put in, things wouldn't just go my way.
Like sand art. I couldn't seem to create a single fucking castle that even a shitty kid could do.
Sorry for the language. The old man I'm living with has infected me with his colorful vocabulary.
"Fuck!" I swatted the small bump of sand that seemed to be the only thing I could make, and flopped on the ground exasperatedly. "I'm done."
I've been trying to create a simple castle for almost half an hour now and all I could make was a bunch of bumps on the sand. I think creativity and I are not well suited.
"Are you a fucking kid?" Levi yelled from the porch. He was leaning against the railing, and even if I'm few meters away from him, I knew that he is probably amused at what I'm doing.
"Even a kid can do a freaking castle!" I waved my hands at him exasperatedly and stood up, dusting my pants off after I do so. "All I could do was these!" I pointed at the small bumps I formed on the sand.
"That looks like shit. A dog shit."
"Yeah thanks." I rolled my eyes at him and proceeded to walk towards the beach house. "I'm really creative, aren't I?"
Levi must've have been holding his laughter in. "Yeah, you are."
"Fuck you."
After my failure in sand art, Levi and I ate our brunch. We ate while laughing and bickering about everything. It was quite enjoyable since I've never had someone to eat with when I was in the hospital. Nurse Petra would usually bring my food and I'll eat as she watched beside my bed. It was quite more of awkward than comforting.
Honestly, the thought about the hospital has left my mind. I was having too much fun being with Levi that all my worries vanished. As I was reaching for the cup of water, I realized that today was Saturday, my last day here. My heart began beating so fast, afraid of going back to the place where I spent almost all my life. I'm afraid of what will happen after I go back. I'm scared. My hand started to shake and I began to drown out everything. I don't know how I snapped back from reality, away from my thoughts, but after having an internal panic attack, I was back laughing and tossing pieces of food towards Levi.
After eating, we spent the afternoon lounging at the living room while watching Supernatural. At first, we sat on the both ends of the sofa since the weather was quite warm, but when things started to get scary on the show, I slowly scooted over to his side and hid my face on his back, much to Levi's annoyance. He even reclined back on the cushion, squeezing my face in between.
"Don't fucking watch if you're scared."
"But it's interesting!" I defended, now sporting a pillow in front of my face to cover my eyes.
In reply, Levi rolled his eyes and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close to him. We continued watching the show with me hugging him and hiding my face on the crook of his neck every now and then. We ignored the warm temperature and cuddled together, even though sweat dotted our skin.
Around 4 pm, the sun is not as bright anymore. Levi asked if I wanted to walk Colossal with him and of course, I agreed. Although Levi called it a walk, it wasn't technically Levi putting Colossal on a leash and following him around. It was more like letting Colossal play around the shore as we stroll behind him. Levi said that Colossal is an intelligent dog and he would definitely stop if we're not following him anymore.
"Well, college is not really that eventful." Levi shrugged after I asked him about his college life. "I mean, my fucking friends are two total nerds, Hange and Erwin, so their usual definition of fun is going to library, shitty book fairs and conventions and stuff."
I hummed in reply. It was quite adorable knowing that Levi, who was the humanity's strongest soldier, was actually a good boy when he was in college. Nurse Petra usually talks about parties and all when I asked her about her college life so I thought I would be the same for Levi.
"But then, Hange loves playing pranks." Levi rolled his eyes, probably remembering something ridiculous that Dr. Hange did. "She actually put a fucking laxative to her professor's coffee because she hated that professor with all her guts. And it was right before graduation, so the professor literally shit his pants during the ceremony."
"Really?!" I huge laugh left my mouth after Levi finished his story. I couldn't believe that she actually did something like that. "Fuck that's awesome."
Levi and I continued to follow Colossal as he recounted every prank him, Erwin, and Dr. Hange did. I can't stop laughing at the silliness of the group. It seemed like despite being a tight ass, Erwin is actually a good prankster as well.
"Eren?" Levi asked when I suddenly stopped on my tracks.
While we were walking, I suddenly felt a sharp throb on my chest. It was so sudden that I immediately froze. But as soon as it came, it was gone. Things like this usually happen so I decided to ignore it and continue walking. "Sorry sorry! I'll catch up."
After the sun has set, we decided to go back to the beach house and start preparing for dinner. Our walk back wasn't that eventful. Silence enveloped us as we walk along the shore with the sun setting in front of us. A sudden dread shrouded the once cheerful aura around us. It is probably because that fact has already sunk into us.
That I'm going back to the hospital tomorrow.
That our week has finally come to an end.
All day, the topic about me returning to the hospital didn't come up. I just wanted to savor this last day and forget all those kinds of things, but I guess it was inevitable. Sooner or later, I have to accept the fact that I'm going back.
And that I'll be having my battle.
We continued to walk in silence as we basked under the moonlight. From my peripheral vision, I could see Levi's features become sharper as the moonlight struck him, making him much more handsome and delicate. I don't know how I got so lucky having such a perfect lover as him, and I could never be thankful enough.
"I'll shower first." Levi broke the silence after we arrived at the beach house. I nodded in reply. The words seemed to be stuck at my throat and I can't speak.
Levi, I don't want to leave yet.
I turned around and walked towards the porch. The night view of the ocean is as breathtaking as it was in the morning. Despite not having the beautiful glitters on the water made by the sunlight, the ocean had reflected the light coming from the stars, making it look like out of this world.
Since we're away from the city, the stars are clear; like Levi's eyes.
The same gray and the same light.
What would happen after this? What would happen after I wake up tomorrow? What would happen after I return to the hospital?
Honestly? I have no idea.
For now, I'm just following my insights. And my insights told me to just enjoy this last night and worry tomorrow.
I still have to tell Levi about it.
About my decision regarding the surgery.
"Eren." Levi spoke from behind me. I turned to face him and saw that he had just finished showering. What was weird is that he's panting, as if he ran in a marathon. "I need to tell you something."
"Wow you took one hell of a fast shower."
"Fuck, I was thinking about something that's why." He wiped the beads of sweat and water around his forehead and took a step towards me. "I know that," Levi paused, seemingly out of words. "Fuck."
A soft chuckle left my mouth. It was quite adorable when Levi is at loss for words. "Wha–" Before I could finish a single word, I felt a small throb on my chest. Then it was followed by something painful that made me double over.
"Eren!"
I could feel something heavy around my chest and something squeezing it. I began to pant and wheeze as I tried to grasp on something, anything. But I was flat on the floor with nothing to hold on. Where's Levi?
I tried searching for Levi's hand despite the tears making my eyes blurry. I was able to wheeze out Levi's name when I felt his hand touch mine, grasping it tightly against his. I could feel a single tear fell to my cheek the moment I felt the warmth of his hand.
Levi's voice sounded faint from all the drumming from my chest. He voice seemed to be laced with anxiousness and it sounded as if he's talking to someone. Is he calling Dr. Hange? I still haven't told him about what I told to Dr. Hange earlier.
I could feel myself get dizzy as seconds tick by, my sight becoming more blurry.
Before I knew it, everything turned black.
But not before I heard Levi calling my name over and over again.
Sadly, I wasn't able to stay with you until the end.
