"I have absolutely no idea what's going on right now."

"Shhh, Eren. Let it happen."

"Guys I can't feel my legs."

"Connie don't be a bitch."

Eren honestly didn't even know why he agreed to go to Auruo's house. Connie was being held upside down over the stair railing while Jean and Riener held open a bed sheet down below. Eren had no idea how it ended up like this and he didn't want to know. He sat on the couch a couple feet away and pulled out his phone.

' Levi come pick me up.'

Eren folded his arms on top of his knees and watched as Reiner assured Connie that they would catch him and that this was 'totally a good idea'. Eren's phone buzzed.

' you live across the fukin street dont be a lazy shit'

'I'm actually at auruos.'

'the fuck are you doing there'

'I honestly don't know'

'fine sit tight.'

'yaaaaay!'

Eren sat back into the couch. Ahh having a boyfriend that can drive is great. He immediately backpedaled his own thoughts. Boyfriends? Is that what we are? That's so weird. If they were dating, it didn't really feel like it. It had only been half a week since that incident in the storage room. They still acted normal around each other; Eren couldn't really see a difference. He was starting to feel a bit self-conscious. Should I talk to him about it? Eren sighed, No….I don't know. I'm so confused. If he's not happy he should just say it.

His thoughts were broken as Connie fell from the railing down to Reiner and Jean. Connie flopped right into the mattress, but the two tall boys lost their footing. Auruo could be heard laughing from on top of the stairs.

"Is it really necessary to get drunk at this hour?" Eren laughed.

"Shut the fuck up Eren." Jean propped himself up off the floor. "It's like 5. That's totally drinking time."

"We've been here since 3." Eren retorted.

"Nobody needs your sass Eren."

Eren hung out at Levi's apartment before finally deciding to walk back to his dorm. Levi offered to let him spend the night on the couch, but Eren had politely declined. He unlocked his room door and was met with a usual scene. Armin looked up from his book and grinned.

"How was Auruos?"

"Fuckin peachy." Eren replied lightheartedly. He flopped onto the bed.

"I heard Connie broke his arm."

"Did he really?"

"You were there!"

"I left early." Eren rolled over to plug in his iPhone and then returned to his spot sprawled out on the bed. "They were just being stupid."

"When are they not?" Armin chuckled. "Did you go hang out at Levi's?"

Eren nodded, "Yeah, just for a bit."

"I'm surprised you didn't spend the night." Armin wiggled his eyebrows.

Eren grabbed a nearby empty water bottle and chucked it at Armin, "Shut up! I wasn't feeling like it."

"Didn't want to do the do?"

"I'm gunna fuckin' kill you."

"You know, seal the deal."

"Armin."

"Jam the ham."

"I hate you."

Armin dodged another object, "But you guys are together now! I can totally make fun of you all I want."

"You're really the only one that knows." Eren's voice dropped from a yell. Armin raised an eyebrow.

"Are you okay?"

Eren looked up at his friend who had closed his book to show that he had his full attention. Eren flopped back onto the bed. He muffled into his pillow.

"I feel like I'm twelve again." Eren felt a shift in the mattress and he could hear Armin speaking right next to him.

"Aren't you happy? I thought you liked him."

"I do." Eren muffled again. He rolled over so that he was looking up at the blonde. "I just…I don't know. He hasn't made any acknowledgement of us being together since he kissed me."

Armin shrugged, "This is Levi. You were kinda askin' for it."

"Yeah but…" Eren pulled the pillow back over his face, and Armin rolled his eyes. Typical Eren.

"But what?"

"He could do better."

Armin blinked. "What?"

"I don't deserve him."

Armin frowned. He reached for the pillow covering Eren's face and ripped it out of his hands; only to bring it back down right into his face. "Ow!"

"Shut up stupid. You've always had this hidden self-confidence issue and I'm not going to allow it anymore. You absolutely do deserve him and you deserve him acting like a damn boyfriend with all the gross, sappy love and crap everyone hates. Go talk to Levi."

Eren rubbed his nose and blushed, "But he already-"

"Tomorrow." Armin stood up and crossed the room back over to his bed.

"But…"

"You better do it or I'll show everyone that video of you when we went to church camp."

Eren gasped, and then glared. "You would never."

Armin crossed his arms. "Just watch me."

Eren sputtered, and then growled, "Fine."

"Good." Armin smiled.

After a moment of silence Eren smiled too. "Thanks buddy."

"That's what I'm here for."

"Now we just need to hook you up with Erwin and we're all good."

"Eren!"

The next day of work had been going by surprisingly fast. Only a couple customers had come in all day. His shift was about to end when a particularly interesting person came into the store.

"Um, hello?" A girl with curled brown hair walked into the store wearing a swimsuit and a sheer cover. Eren didn't really think anything of it. They were in California after all.

"Hello mam. How may I help you?" Eren smiled warmly from the middle of the store where he had been stocking shelves.

"Just looking." She glanced over him before proceeding to browse around the store. Eren nodded and finished stocking before taking place behind the register.

About twenty or so minutes later she came to the counter with her purchases. She blatantly glared at Eren as he rang up her items. Finally she said;

"Your hair is fucking disgusting."

Eren blinked. He chuckled, and rubbed the back of his head, "Ahh yeah. I need to re-dye it."

She crossed her arms, "No I mean seriously. I've been coming to this store for like, ever. And you've never been here."

"Ahh, yeah I'm a bit new…" Eren punched a couple numbers into the computer nervously. Meanwhile Levi was starting to become interested in the conversation.

"This store has been known for having super-hot employees, thanks for breaking that." Her face looked very annoyed. Eren didn't know what to say.

"U-um.." Eren stuttered. "I'm sorry-"

"Excuse me miss." Levi walked towards her with a dangerous look. "Is there a problem?"

Her attitude brightened. "Oh Levi! Why didn't you tell me you had hired a lovely new-"

"You're obviously drunk right now, so I'd appreciate it if you got the fuck out of my store."

Her eyes widened, "I will not allow you to treat me like this! I am the customer-"

"A customer who is about to fuckin' leave." The three of them turned as Pixis walked up to the girl. Eren blinked, Did he really just speak that way to a-

She snatched her purchases out of Eren's hand.

"See if I ever shop back here again!"

"We won't miss you bitch." Levi called after her, monotone. As soon as she left, Levi reached across the counter to smack Eren across the head.

"Ouch!"

"How could you let her treat you like that! Shit, Eren. " Levi looked furious.

"Sorry I didn't want to yell at a customer!" Eren defended.

Pixis placed a hand on Levi's shoulder to calm him. "It's fine."

"It's not fine!" Levi growled.

"It's over now. So get back to work before I fire you." Pixis waved as he walked into his office.

Levi murmured, "You'd never fire me."

"You're probably right, haha!"

The ride back home was a tad bit awkward. To break the silence Levi asked, "Are you coming back to my place?"

Eren shrugged, "If you want me to."

Levi raised an eyebrow but said nothing. The rest of the ride was quiet except for the music that flowed through the car speakers. The walk up to the apartment was silent also. The moment the two stepped through the door, Levi reached his limit.

"Alright, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

Eren froze mid-step and turned to look at him. "What now?"

Levi slammed the door behind him. "Don't give me that bucket-load of shit. You've been moping around for days like a sad little puppy and I'm fucking tired of it."

"Ummm…" Eren shifted the weight on his feet. "I don't-"

Levi rubbed his temples, "Eren I swear-"

"Maybe we shouldn't do this."

The senior blinked. "What?"

Eren sat down on the couch slowly. "Do…whatever we are."

"...so... you didn't mean it."

Eren widened his eyes, "I absolutely meant it! I meant everything I said back in that storage room."

"Then what?" Levi was still standing by the door.

Eren looked down at his shoes. "I think you deserve better."

Levi growled, "Not this shit again. If you're bent up about what that bitch said-"

"I mean you're still as grumpy as ever and I feel like you belong with someone who can make you actually happy." Eren blurted. "That woman was right though. Like, you're perfect in everything and I'm…me."

The room was dead silent. For a moment Eren felt like he had successfully convinced him. He wanted to move to stand up and leave, but a pair of boots came into vision.

"You're stupid."

"I know."

Levi crouched in front of him so that they were face to face. They both stared at one another until Levi sighed.

"I didn't know how to act."

Eren cocked his head as he asked, "Huh?"

"I didn't know what to friggin' do, okay. I didn't want to fuck this up so I didn't bring up anything about us, and apparently that fucked it up too."

"You mean…?"

"Do I have to paint a picture?" Levi growled. "I don't want to lose you. I am never letting you out of my hands. I. will not let. you go. "

Eren argued, "But you-"

Levi was still mere inches away from him. "But nothing, Eren."

"Why won't you listen to me?" Evern growled back. I'm tired of being cut off. "I just want you to be happy. I don't know if that's frickin' possible or not but I don't think I'm that person." Levi opened his mouth to retort but Eren continued to ramble. "You're smart and ridiculously strong and you're so outrageously pretty it hurts. I can't ever live up to that. So I think we should end this before it starts." Eren breathed out, a bit relaxed that he had finally spoken his mind.

Levi was quiet. For a long time. Eren was starting to become a bit scared. The man in front of him looked enraged. Should I leave now…?

Eren suddenly let out a yelp. Levi had stood up only to push Eren back into the couch with a large amount of force. He crawled over the younger and straddled his legs. He tugged on Eren's collar roughly to get his attention.

"Listen up you little shit."

Eren blinked, his heart beating hard.

"First of all," Levi relaxed a bit, "never call me pretty again." He tugged roughly on the front of Eren's shirt to get his point across. "Second, you must be on drugs because no one is that stupid."

"Third." Levi calmed down noticeably, "Don't ever think what that bitch said was true; I'll knock you out so bad you'll never walk again. You're fuckin' perfect, shitty brat. I hate it. I. hate. It. So stop being insecure because it's driving me up a literal wall. You make me happy got it? Even though you're making me say all this stupid shit you still make me fucking giddy. I'm absolute shit at showing how I feel. You know this better than anyone."

Eren gave a smile, and Levi sighed. "I really want this to work out, okay?"

Eren wrapped his arms around Levi's neck and muttered, "Me too."

"Good. We're on the same page then." Levi leaned in and connected their lips. Eren smiled into the kiss, and he could feel his partner smile too. Levi slid his hands down onto Eren's hips, and the younger soon realized that having Levi on his lap isn't such a good idea. Their kisses were short and tasted sweet. Levi decided to go further the moment he took Eren's bottom lip between his teeth and pulled. Eren gasped slightly and Levi took the opportunity to slip in his tongue.

Holy crap he's a really good kisser-holy-

Eren felt embarrassed after he let out a moan. Levi smirked into the kiss again and tightened his grip on Eren's hips. He could feel the senior lifting his shirt and tracing his back with his nails. Eren desperately needed to breathe, and Levi could tell. He broke the kiss to immediately begin work on Eren's neck. Eren let out another shaky breath, and moved his arms to the front of Levi's shirt. He impulsively pressed his fingers into the dips of his hipbones, and Levi bit the junction of his neck and shoulder in response. The freshman let out another breath, "Nnng ow."

"Shut up," Levi muttered. He kissed up to Eren's adams' apple, and grazed it with his teeth. Meanwhile; Eren had slipped his fingers underneath his shirt and was slowly tracing every single muscle. How do you even get a six pack this nice?

Levi was eventually proud of the several marks he had made, and returned to Eren's lips. Levi began to slow down the kiss. He could tell Eren was becoming tired; It was already midnight.

Eren sighed into his mouth, and Levi decided that this was pretty damn perfect. He reached up to weave his fingers in Eren's brown and washed-out green hair. Eren pulled away and buried his face in Levi's neck as the older massaged his head gently.

Levi pulled on Eren's hair to get him to lean up. He crawled off of Eren's lap to sit down next to him on the couch. In response, Eren immediately snuggled himself into Levi's lap. He mumbled before dozing off;

"I'm staying here tonight."

Levi let a real smile show as he replied, "Good."

Eren fell asleep with fingers in his hair.

"Guys! Guys! Guys! Look. What. I. Got."

"Hey Hanji!" Marco waved to her as she practically bounced into their group. They were all standing around in the courtyard waiting for classes to start.

"Look at it quick before they-"

"Hanji!"

"Why are Eren and Levi chasing you?" Bertolt asked with an eyebrow raised.

Sasha giggled. "What did you do?"

"Oh my gosh." Jean smirked. He grabbed the picture to get a better look. "That's fuckin' adorable."

"Let me see!" Connie pushed with his good arm to get a view of the photograph.

Reiner chuckled, "Wow. Like two baby kittens."

Everyone laughed when Levi and Eren caught up to Hanji. She squealed and jumped behind Armin.

"Hanji!"

"I'm sorry!" She dodged a kick from Levi. "You two were just so cute!"

Eren looked over at the picture Sasha and Christa were cooing at. The couple was snuggled together on the couch-completely passed out. Their legs were tangled along with their hands. They did look pretty cute.

"How did you even get a key to my apartment?" Levi snarled. Ymir and Connie were in a mad laughing fit.

Hanji giggled, "I meant to tell you...I found your extra apartment key…"

"Hanji!"

"So I'm guessing everything worked out between you two?" Armin asked on their daily walk to get coffee.

"Yeah, it did." Eren smiled. "For now, I guess. I'm sure there will be more issues."

"At least you're not ignorant." Armin grinned. "You guys are really cute. Christa and I saw you holding hands and she almost passed out from squealing."

Eren tried not to blush, and replied, "Yeah well..."

"So…" Armin shoved his hands in his pockets.

"So, Mikasa and Annie are coming back for Thanksgiving."

"What!" Armin jumped in shock. "Annie too?!"

Eren grinned, "I was excited too. Riener told me and he was ecstatic."

"Are we going to have a group Thanksgiving?"

"That's a stupid question Armin, of course we are. Tradition is tradition~." Eren sang.

Armin laughed, "Great! That's always so much fun."

"So much money too."

"Party pooper."

"Erwin lover."

"Will you stop with that!" Armin defended.

"Why won't you admit you like him!" Eren yelled back just as loud. "You guys are perfect for each other what the fuck."

"He's…he's…no Eren! I can't." Armin's face was as red as a tomato.

"Yes you can! You gotta be like Nike. Just do it."

"Says the idiot who just got together with Levi a week ago."

"That is unimportant."

"I hate you."

Eren sprawled his limbs out across Levi's couch as the older cooked dinner.

"Thanks for all the fuckin' help Eren." Levi called from the kitchen.

"You said you had it." Eren replied.

"That's true, you can't cook for shit."

"I really cant." Eren remarked casually. He propped his arms underneath his head. After another moment he said;

"I wish I was a cat."

Levi stirred whatever soup he was making. "I wish you were a cat too."

Eren propped up to look at him. "You do?"

"Yeah, you wouldn't be able to talk."

"Rude." Eren laughed. Levi didn't reply. It was silent except for the occasional noise from the kitchen.

Eren sat up straight before saying, "Mikasa is coming into town in a couple days."

"And?"

"You're going to meet her."

"I'm so excited I can hardly contain my boner now." Levi added in his usual monotone.

Eren rolled his eyes, "This is important. This is my family."

Levi's eyes turned somewhat serious. "I'll be good."

Eren grinned, and then fell silent again. Finally he spoke; "I don't know what she will think of us."

Levi poured the soup into two bowls. "What do you mean?"

"She's probably going to hate you."

"I'll live." Levi set the bowls on the table and Eren hopped up to take a seat across from his partner.

"Just preparing you for the inevitable."

"I've got this, don't worry about it."

"Who the fuck are you?"
