April Rain Showers Chapter 10
"Hi, I'm Levi Ackerman and I was nominated to do the ALS ice bucket challenge by fucking shitty glasses. I nominate Erwin Smith, Eren Jaeger, and Petra Ral to do this shit challenge, you have 24 hours bitches hop to it," the raven said in his monotonous voice his eyes narrowed at the woman with glasses who was filming him.
Eren Jaeger slowly lifted up the huge bucket of ice water over his lover's head, happy he had the opportunity to pour ice water all over his boyfriend. He felt a little bit depressed though that he was nominated for the challenge as well though. The brunette managed to pour the whole bucket over Levi's head, finishing it off by putting the bucket on the raven's head before running off, missing Levi's hand by mere inches.
"EREN FUCKING JAEGER YOU GET THE FUCK BACK HERE!" the raven yelled, removing the bucket from his head. He was soaked. His bangs were hanging in his eyes, blinding him momentarily before he raked them back away from his cold, gray, stormy eyes. He ran after the brunette who was doubled over in laughter, he saw the raven too late and just as he had taken another step the raven had his arms wrapped around the brunette's waist, securely but also gently.
"No no no no!" the brunette wailed, the raven had picked him up and had the brunette over one of his shoulder's, carrying him back to where the empty bucket was laid down.
"It's your turn brat, you stay there and wait until I'm finish filling up the bucket alright? And if you run I will hunt your scrawny ass down tie you to a fucking chair and dump not one but fucking five buckets of ice cold fucking water on you. It'll be so cold you'd think hell fucking froze over with how fucking cold they are. Do I make myself clear?" the raven threatened.
Eren's eyes were wide as he stared into the gray, emotionless orbs that stared back at him, cold enough they already chilled him to the bone before nodding. The raven nodded once and went off inside the house, taking the bucket with him while his lover stood where he was, not moving an inch. Hanji was currently on the ground laughing her ass off and that gave Eren plenty of time to figure out who he was going to nominate.
The brunette practically whimpered when he heard the door close behind him a few moments later, it didn't take long for the raven to return with the bucket refilled with ice fucking cold as Satan's nipple's water. Levi gave him a sadistic smile before setting down a chair in front of him for the brunette to sit in, he was too tall for the raven to reach when he was standing. Levi even took care to bring out two towels, one was on top of his head, the other was draped over his left arm.
"Well, let's get this over with brat we can't stand here all day," the raven said gesturing to the chair.
Eren gave Levi a withering look before reluctantly taking a seat in the chair, after a few barking orders from Levi the woman with glasses finally regained control of herself to play camera woman once again.
"Alright Eren, it's recording," Hanji replied after merely a few seconds.
Eren sighed and began,"Hi, I'm Eren Jaeger and I was nominated to do the ALS ice bucket challenge by my lovable douchebag- I mean boyfriend. I nominate Armin Arlert, Mikasa Ackerman, and horseface-I mean Jean. You have 24 hours, I can't wait to hear your screams of discomfort," the brunette replied darkly.
Levi didn't the brunette so much as a warning before dumping the icey contents over his lover's head.
The brunette choked out a scream,"HolyMariathatshitssofuckingcoldohmygod!"
Levi choked back his laughter as he got the towel ready for Eren who practically ran into the raven's arms, a shivering, cursing mess.
Hanji cackled and turned off her cellphone/videocamera once she felt she got the brunette's full reaction,"Oh god that shit was priceless! I can't wait to put it on youtube!"
"Do it and you die shitty glasses," Levi growled, using his own towel to dry off Eren's hair, planting gentle, warm kisses on the other's cold face.
Eren shivered and nuzzled into the raven's warm neck still cursing under his breath,"I-I h-h-hope to g-g-god I never need to do th-that sh-shit again, fucking c-c-colder then f-f-fucking North pole's ice water, d-d-damn."
"You're lucky we don't have a fucking swear jar brat, with the way your cursing we could probably afford a trip to the Bahamas right now. Why don't I run a hot bath for the two of us?" the raven replied.
"Fuck yes, please" was the brunette's only reply as he relunctantly pulled away from the raven to instead follow him into the house, Hanji trailing behind them. Once the couple approached the bathroom, they realized the woman with glasses was still trailing behind them. Levi turned around to face her and raised an eyebrow.
"What's with that look Levi?" the woman questioned.
"Get the fuck out of my house shitty glasses, you're not filming us in the fucking bath tub," Levi answered.
Hanji whined,"Awww but why not!? You two are so fucking adorable!"
"Because I said so, now are you going to leave or am I going to have to force you to leave? Pick your poison shitty glasses," the raven said in a calm voice, but the brunette knew he was ready to snap. He was cold, Eren was cold, and all he wanted to do was warm up and settle down and read a book and drink some tea.
"Ughhh fine, you're no fun Levi. Make sure to warm each other up good now, we can't afford either of you cuties to get sick," the woman replied, dodging a towel thrown at her from the raven before taking her leave, laughing like a crazy all the way to the front door. Levi made sure he heard the front door open and close before starting up the bath. The brunette sat in the corner of the room, shivering and sniffling pitifully.
"I h-hope I-I-I never get nominated ever again."
"You and me both, kid."
The couple waited in silence as the bath tub filled up, Eren shivering too hard to barely form a coherent sentence and the raven just staying silent to stay silent. He liked silence, and he'd kill anyone who destroyed that silence, except for Eren, his voice he could tolerate. Once the tub was half way full the raven walked over to the brunette to help take off his clothes, his hands shaking too hard to really do it himself.
"Are you really that cold or are you just faking?" the raven questioned noting how blue his lips were.
Eren sniffled in response, curling up into a tight little ball once his wet clothes were off of him. It was actually a pretty cold day out and if either of the men had a choice they wouldn't have done it in this weather, but Hanji forced them to do it, so they did. The leaves outside were changing and people were now wearing jackets instead of shorts and t-shirts, except for those stupid teenagers who thought they could still wear shorts when snow was on the ground and it was fucking five below zero.
While the brunette was in his own thoughts, the raven continued to stare at Eren's lips, slowly inching closer until his own warm lips were against cold ones. The brunette responsed by pressing his tongue against the raven's lower lip, asking for entrance which was granted after a moments hesitation. The two fought for dominance until the brunette had to break away for air, there was sadly no winner. Levi took this moment to look towards the bath tub to make sure it wasn't over flowing, which thank god wasn't over flowing. Levi walked over to the bath tub and turned the water off before retrieving his lover, carrying him bridal style and gently setting him in the water.
Eren sighed in content, and watched as Levi slowly peeled off his clothes, it's a while since the two of them made love and the man's cock made sure to remind him. The raven looked towards the brunette then, only in his boxers now, smirking slyly.
"You're already excited and I didn't even do anything yet. Would you like some help with that?" Levi questioned his eyes already glazing over in lust.
The brunette's eyes widened and he instantly covered his hard on, his face flushing a light red,"I-I w-wasn't...I mean...y-yes please."
The raven chuckled as he saw Eren visibly gulp when he removed his boxers,"Why are you so embarrassed love? It's normal to get excited over simple things when we haven't done it in quite awhile."
Eren scooted over to make room for the raven, still covering his erection and blushing. Levi chuckled and slowly crawled his way over to the green-eyed brunette, towering over his frail frame.
The raven leaned in closer to Eren, his hands pulling his hands away from his erection, his eyes narrowed like a predators,"Why don't I warm you up a little bit hm?"
~ (Sorry I tried writing the sex scene but I couldn't I'm sorry. I've been rping way too much smut lately so yeah lol. Next time I promise!)
The raven hummed and searched through the cabinet as he tried to decide which tea flavor he wanted. The brunette dedicated a whole shelf strictly for the different shampoos he bought, tried, and liked, and the raven was no different except in his case it was tea. The bottom shelf was full of teas he still had yet to try and the top shelf was dedicated to all the teas he had tried and liked. There was no tea out there that the raven would not hesitate to try, not even if there was a pineapple flavored one.
"Trying to decide on a flavor?" the brunette asked, walking into the kitchen with boxer shorts on and a towel around his neck. He forced Levi to leave the bathroom after they had sex so he could try out the new shampoo he bought at the mall and like always he wanted the raven to figure out the scent by smell alone, not labels.
"Yeah, I want something sweet but I don't know what I really crave for," the raven replied, tapping a finger to his lips in concentration.
"Isn't it that time of the week to try out a different tea?" the brunette questioned, sitting on a counter and kicking his feet childisly.
Levi sighed,"Yeah I guess you're right...what do you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you're kicking your feet and acting all adorable so I'm assuming you want me to make you something so out with it."
"Well now that you mention it I'm sort of craving lobster," the brunette said with a smirk, giggling when he saw the raven's "I'm not going to fucking make you a fancy dinner" look.
"Be serious brat, what do you want?"
"Strawberry tea and a chocolate bar."
"That's unhealthy...but better," the raven replied, reaching up and grabbing a tea bag and dropping it on the counter before perusing his options once again. After a few minutes he chose randomly from the shelf of the ones he had yet to taste and closed the cabinet to wait for the tea kettle to whistle. The brunette got off on the counter and instead of walking away to the livingroom like the raven hoped he instead wrapped his arms around the smaller body and nuzzled into the raven's neck.
Levi sighed and let the brunette embrace him for a few minutes before moving to nuzzle his face into the brunette's bare torso.
"Aren't you going to guess what shampoo I used?" the brunette questioned after a few moments, his own nose buried into raven locks.
"Mmm...I almost forgot it's that time of the week," Levi replied, bringing down the brunette's head to rest on his shoulder as he planted kisses on Eren's neck while he tried to guess what shampoo he thought of using this time. It smelled really good, and he was sure it was something exotic.
"Do you like it?" the brunette asked.
"Mmmhmm," the raven replied, smiling against Eren's neck.
"Got a guess?"
"Not really but it smells good."
"Come on guess."
"I really have no idea..."
"Just guess something random."
"Uhmm...Unicorn shit?"
"Levi! Be serious!" Eren giggled.
"I am being serious that smells like fucking Unicorn shit."
"Unicorns don't even exist, how would you know!"
"I am the night, I know things Eren."
"Come on Levi!"
"Alright alright...passionfruit?"
"How did you know? You didn't look at my shelf did you?"
"I didn't, it just smelled really exotic and it made me feel weird so I guessed passionfruit, sue me."
"Maybe I will."
"Fine by me but you'll need to get a really good lawyer."
"I have Armin."
"Armin's not a lawyer."
"He could be."
Just as the raven was going to fire back a reply the kettle began to whistle and he was forced to admit defeat...for now...to take it off the stove. The raven walked over to the stove, grabbing a wooden spoon on his way there, knowing that the brunette was following, in one swift movement he took the kettle off the stove and in another swift movement he smacked the other man's ass with said wooden spoon.
"Go and sit in the livingroom I'll bring your tea and candy bar to you understand brat?" the raven commanded, waving his wooden weapon in the air.
"Okay," Eren pouted, rubbing as his ass before walking out of the kitchen, muttering how they use that spoon for cooking and it shouldn't be used to spank another's guy's ass. The raven chuckled and zoomed around the kitchen expertly, easily grabbing two mugs from a cabinet and a candy bar from the fridge. Even something as simple as making tea the raven made it somehow look like art. Hell even if he was just making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches he made it seem so complicated, which in a sense it was since Eren was uncoordinated in the kitchen. He had no idea where anything was at and after awhile he gave up trying because Levi would always complain that he didn't clean up his mess, or that he didn't put things back to where they belong.
The kitchen was Levi's sanctuary while the livingroom was Eren's. That's where they had copious amounts of shelves stacked with books meticulously shelved by genre and since Levi was an author his published books had an empty shelf of their own. Levi wrote his stories by his laptop and always had research books strewn around the livingroom when he had a bout of inspiration that pissed Eren off to no end. Of course Eren gritted his teeth and beared it and went on many runs to the bookstore his mother owned to find books based on mostly historical events as well as many other topics. He loved to watch Levi at work whether in the kitchen or on his laptop because the way he tuned out the world was simply magical.
Lately the books were strewn around the livingroom and Eren knew it was only a matter of time before he was sent to the bookstore to pick up a few books on god knows what. Levi didn't mention his latest idea but from the looks of all the books it must've been based around medicine. There were tons of medical books around and even though Eren was curious he didn't touch them in fear that the raven would bite his head off because he lost his placed on a certain page he was reading. Besides, the brunette was sure the raven wanted it to be a surprise so instead he picked up the adventure book he was reading and patiently waited for Levi to show up with their tea.
Levi did show up after several minutes, moving a few books out of the way with his foot, which ticked Eren off, to make room for the tray holding the tea, candy bar, and amazingly strawberries with chocolate dip. The strawberries were arrange meticulously in the shape of a heart, said heart was filled with tinier strawberries and all were drizzled in chocolate.
"I thought you said we ran out of strawberries a long time ago," the brunette commented in amazement.
"I said that so you wouldn't fucking eat it all brat," the raven replied before walking around the coffee table and flopping down on the couch, immediately taking out his laptop to continue tapping away at the keyboard.
The brunette took a strawberry from the center and dipped it into the chocolate dip before taking a tiny bite, moaning in pleasure,"Thank you."
"No problem, just shut up and eat it brat," the raven replied monotonously, he was spacing off in his writing to really focus on anything at the moment. The brunette continued eating while reading his book, the house was silent except for the soothe tapping of the keyboard keys from slender fingers and the small whoosh of a page flipping. He loved times like this, where it's just the two of them sitting there not really doing anything because they don't need to.
The brunette made a tiny yelping sound when he bit into one specific strawberry and he made a face. Strawberries were not supposed to be that hard. He stuck his bookmark into his book and eyed his strawberry curiously, something metal was sticking out where he bit into it. That's strange. Wanting to satiate his curious he bit around the metal object and revealed it to actually be a dazzling looking ring. He was sure rings were not supposed to be in strawberries, he looked at Levi who was calmly tapping away at his keyboard. Surely he had nothing to do with this right?
The man raised an eyebrow and stared at the dish that held the strawberries and dip and from the strawberries missing he said that a message had been written on the plate in chocolate. That's when Levi looked away from his laptop and watched the brunette with an amused expression. Eren carefully removed the strawberries so he can read the message that was fancily written, he knew that handwriting, that was Levi's handwriting. He carefully read the message not once but three times just be sure.
"Will you marry me?"
Eren blinked and looked over at the raven. Was this some kind of joke? The raven simply plucked the ring out of the man's hand, and knelt down on the floor in front of the brunette.
"L-Levi what's going on...?"
"Shush up brat and just listen, do you think you could do that?" the raven asked quietly.
The brunette nodded in response and swallowed thickly.
"Eren, before I met you I was a total wreck. I believed there was nothing in this world for me and that I would die alone probably from the same awful illness that took my mother. It took getting beat up by some asshole to show me that that wasn't true. You were the most shittiest brat I have ever met in my life and everytime I saw you I wanted to strangle you because you were so fucking messy...all the time...but then you somehow tore your own place into my life whether I wanted you there or not like the brat you are and...I'm glad you did that. I'm ashamed that it took until you fallen ill yourself to get me to say four simple words. I should've done this sooner. I am a fool and a total hard ass and I don't understand how or why you put up with me the way I do. I love you Eren. Will you marry me?" the raven said in a few breaths, tears were in his eyes but he didn't want to let them fall. He looked up at the brunette who had tears in his own eyes and hands covering his mouth and currently holding his breath in fear that he might end up sobbing like a sap.
"Eren breathe," Levi said with a small smile, reach a hand up to catch the man's tears.
"I-I'm s-sorry Levi I-I j-just...I-I can't..." the brunette replied in a broken voice hiding his face from the man. He really wanted to oh god he wanted to so so so bad you didn't even know, but he was afraid. There was a chance he might die from this, he didn't know when or how but there was a chance and he didn't want to hurt Levi if he did. What if he didn't even live long enough to see through to their wedding? He just hoped the raven understood.
The raven was prepared for rejection, even though it hurt like a bitch he was prepared for it and he knew exactly why the brunette would reject his proposal to him but he wanted to hear it from his own mouth,"Can you tell me why?"
"W-What if I die, e-even before the wedding? I-I don't want to subject you to th-that kind of pain. Pl-please don't be mad, believe me I-I really w-want to I-I just," the brunette whimpered.
"Eren hush baby, I'm not mad why the hell would I be mad? I understand, I was prepared for it believe me. Do you want to try and think it over for a bit? I know the risks and I'm willing to take that chance," the raven replied, using both his hands to clear away the brunette's tears.
The brunette nodded in response,"J-Just l-let me think about it for a few hours...is that okay?"
"Of course it's okay baby," Levi replied using the tender voice he only reserved for the brunette,"Do you want me to leave the room for a little bit or to make you anything."
"N-No, I-I'm fine...I-I'm just going to take a walk if that alright," Eren said.
"That's okay, I'll go get your coat for you."
"Thank you."
Levi got up slowly and helped the brunette get up before walking off to get his coat for him. He knew that Eren would probably reject him at first and for a good reason he had to admit, that was just how Eren was. He would give him as long as he needed to make a final decision. Once he grabbed his coat for him he walked back over to the brunette would was almost finished putting on his shoes, the raven helped him get his coat on while Eren kept asking him if he was mad at him, or if he was sure this was alright.
The raven walked over in front of the brunette and flipped up his hoodie during one of these times and he took Eren's face in his hands,"Eren, baby, trust me it's okay. I get it and I'm not going to force you to make that sort of decision on the spot, I'll give you all the time in the world to make a final decision okay? Just make sure you're back before dark okay?"
"Okay," the brunette whimpered, looking away from the raven.
Levi sighed and forced the brunette to look at him, using one of his sleeves he wiped away the last remaining tears from his face, before giving him a chaste kiss,"Smile baby, everything is just fine. I'll be here when you get back with dinner already cooked."
"Thank you Levi," Eren breathed out, pressing his lips to the raven's and staring into his stormy orbs to show just how thankful he was before walking out the front door, his figure fragile and slumped.
The raven sighed when the brunette left, he needed something to take him away from this hell hole the two of them were currently living. He walked over to his laptop and picked it up, hoping his imagination would do just that. The document that was left opened hadn't changed a bit since he left it, it was waiting patiently for him, the bar blinking on and off as it waited for words to be typed on a blank page. The title was blank as of right now, there were only just words, Levi was never the type to try and think up a title on the spot. He needed time, he needed the words to suggest to him what the title should be. Sadly the words didn't give him any suggestions yet, but that was okay, he was sure they'd show him the way soon enough.
~Alright I know it's been a few weeks or so, I'm currently back at school and I'm going to try my best to update as much as I can, especially since I'm starting to get some inspiration back. YAYYY! Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter, I know most of you guys were probably thinking that Eren would say yes to Levi's marriage proposal. Sadly that is not the case and next chapter you get to find out whether or not he says yes or no, aint I horrible lol. Kudos to HaleyMonster and Luvscookies for the proposal ideas. If you guys have anymore shampoo ideas (I'm not a girly girl so I don't know shampoo types) that would be helpful and even tea ideas (I drink a lot of tea but not many different kinds of tea sadly). I'll try ot update as soon as I can.
