HALLO! So, this chapter's a wee bit different. This chapter is going to bounce between Levi's point of view and Eren's. Enjoy!
Levi
I woke up to horrendous pain from my backside. I groaned and turned my head to the side and froze, forgetting the pain. Sleeping next to me was Eren. His tanned face was smooth and relaxed, looking like a child who didn't know the horrors of the world yet, chocolate hair hanging over his uncreased forehead. I knew under his eyelids were sparkling emeralds for eyes that changed colors in the light, from emerald to having a golden sheen to being overcast with grey, all while maintaining the potent green of the gemstone. He breathed deeply and I watched as his unclothed chest rose and fell, showing off the crevices between his pectoral muscles. The blanket covered up his stomach, which I knew was flat and muscular.
He rolled over, bare legs wrapping around mine, soft cheek pushing into my shoulder with a subconscious hiss. His tall and slender frame bent at the waist as he pressed against me, delicate arms dancing with toned muscles. I watched his sleeping face, remembering how his emeralds had been clouded over with lust and passion, his face flushed, his lips feverishly warm. Remembering how he had somehow found the breath to whisper into my ear, "I love you." Remembering how he had writhed underneath me, gasping and pleading for me to be less gentle, when I was trying not to hurt him. Remembering how he had collapsed onto my chest and fallen asleep kissing me.
He moaned slightly and looked up at me, eyes hazy with sleep.
"Jesus Levi... You tore my ass apart," he grumbled.
"I could say the same thing," I chuckled.
"Mmm, but this was my first time," he muttered into my shoulder.
"Um, brat? It was my first time too. Just because you find me attractive doesn't mean everyone else does."
He laughed, then hissed in pain. I lifted his face up to mine and kissed him softly. He made an appreciative noise and pressed closer to me as I snagged my phone from the bedside table. I dialed a number on it while Eren turned me over and pulled my back against his solid chest.
"Hello?" Erwin picked up.
"Hey, Erwin, it's Levi."
"I know that. What's up?"
"I won't be able to come into work today."
"Eh? Why?"
"I was working out and hurt myself a little last night."
"You... Hurt yourself. That's... Odd. You take very good care of yourself. Does this have to do with Eren?"
"What! Why would it?"
"Because you were being especially difficult yesterday, and I know you only get like that when you care about someone."
"In a way."
"LEVI RIVAILLE HOW OLD IS HE?!"
"He's 24! You think I'd do it with a minor?!"
"I think that you wouldn't care! But in any case, yeah, don't come in. I'd rather not have rumors being spread, even if they are true. Recover. I'm sure you two had fun."
"ERWIN SMITH I'M GOING TO KILL YOU."
"Yeah, yeah. Bye," he chuckled, and hung up.
Eren nuzzled my neck from behind and laughed.
"Shut up, brat," I growled.
"So, we have all day today. What do you want to do?" he asked.
"First, get rid of some of this pain," I snarled.
"We'll go to the hot tub in the pool downstairs," he chuckled.
"Not necessary."
"Huh?"
"I know a place with the pool and hot tubs set off from each other. And there are multiple hot tubs, each with its own private area."
"... You want to make your ass more sore?"
"No god dammit! It's just so we can have some privacy! Jesus, you horny shit."
"Sorry. It's just that... I really enjoyed myself last night. You made me feel really good." I could feel the blush in his soft cheeks as he buried his head in my neck, breath warm against my skin.
"I could say the same thing, Jaeger. But in all honesty, I couldn't do it again tonight. I ache too much."
"Alright. When should we go?"
"Let's get going now."
We walked out of our room and made our way downstairs. As we waited for the valet to get Eren's car, I caught a woman staring at us. She was short, and I could have sworn she had been on my floor. She went bright red as she caught my eye and turned around, hastily sipping her coffee.
"Erm... Eren, maybe we were a little loud last night," I hissed.
Eren started chuckling and glanced over at the woman, a hand over his mouth to muffle the noise.
"She should have worn earplugs."
Eren
The two of us managed to disguise our limps and requested a private hot tub from the company. The woman at the desk winked at me suggestively and as I passed, slipped a piece of paper into my pocket. I followed Levi to the requested room and we stepped inside. There was the steaming water in the middle and two doors leading off it. One led to a bathroom, the other to a small changing room. Levi slipped inside the bathroom and I went into the changing room. Tiled with a shower and a wooden bench with towels on it, the room was cool. I slipped the paper out of my pocket. In English, the paper read, "If you swing that way, look in the chest beside the shower. Everything in there is complimentary. If you swing the other way, here's my number." The number was listed below. I shoved the paper into my jeans and pulled them off, revealing the swim trunks I had brought. Curious, I padded over to said chest by the shower. It had two large drawers. I opened the first one and sputtered. It had every type of condom imaginable, flavored and non and different brands. I shoved that drawer shut and opened the second one. Lube in similar variety as the condoms. I swore loudly.
"Oi, what's with all the yelling?" Levi asked from the door. I turned and saw him staring at me.
"The lady at the desk gave me this," I stammered, and passed him the note.
He studied it and then asked, "So what's in the chest?"
"Condoms. And lube."
"Remind me to grab some on the way out," he said, and walked back to the water, me sputtering in his wake.
I sank down into the water first and sighed with relief as the muscles in my rear relaxed. I watched as Levi slid in across from me, eyes half-lidded with relief. I studied him as he sank into the water. His hair that was as black as the dark side of the moon shone with steam. His pale skin was dotted with drops of water. His eyes were shut, but I knew that they were the silver of relaxation as compared to their normal cloudy sky or their fierce thundercloud with lightning that accompanied anger or their stormy night that accompanied pleasure, the color they had been last night. His chest and stomach caught water on their ridges. His eyes opened and stared at me. He stood and started sloshing his way over to me. His short but muscular frame moved with defined grace as he sat on my lap, facing me. He put his muscular arms around my neck and sighed.
"This feels fantastic," he said.
I hummed in agreement and bent to kiss his collarbone. He gave a sigh and my heart pumped a heavy feeling like honey through my veins. I kissed the hollow of his neck and up his throat, up his jaw, across his cheekbone, and pressed my lips to his. He grumbled in appreciation and pressed closer to me. I melted into his strong embrace.
Levi whispered into my ear, "I love you. I've never cared about someone like I care about you. You... I don't know. I just... Ugh, I suck at this romantic shit."
I chuckled and wrapped my arms around the handsome man, feeling the heat from his cheeks. "You're doing fine. Do you want me to say what I'm thinking?" I felt him nod against my shoulder. "I love you. You're the strongest, most wonderful, most handsome, protective man I've ever met. And you're mine." I felt him start to kiss my shoulder. "I just... I never thought you'd love me back...," he kissed my chest and up my neck, scattering my thoughts. I held onto my words by a thread. "You're... Perfect. A... And I...," I stammered as he kissed my neck. I gave a small hiss as I felt him gently suck the skin on my neck. "Will you..," I started but gasped as he nipped lightly at my neck. "Stop that! I'm trying to confess my love to you, and you're not making it easy," I chided, pulling away from him.
He looked me straight in the eye. "I will never make it easy for you, brat. Get fucking used to it, because you're fucking stuck with me for a long time."
I laughed, "Fine fine."
"Which reminds me, where are you going after this? After college I mean," Levi clarified.
"On to business school to get a masters."
"Where?"
"Stanford. I got early admission. I'll be there for 4 years, then I'll look for work."
"You could always be my secretary."
I looked at the man sitting on my lap. "You're kidding, right?"
"I'm not. We could travel everywhere together, work together."
"Levi, I want to get that masters first. Let me finish that. Then we'll see about being your secretary."
He chuckled and kissed me again. "When are you flying back to the States?"
"Next week."
"Then we won't see each other for a good while."
"I know. Believe me, I know. But I'll visit you when I can. And I know you won't leave my ass alone."
"Then we better get busy."
