A/N: Hey guys... so umm... its been a while. I missed you and I wrote you a little something. Enjoy!
Thank you my lovely beta: L0vingeden
Eren woke up slowly, blinking his eyes awake. He had no idea what time it was but he didn't care; the sun was shining, and it lit up the room surrounding him. It was calm and peaceful, completely quiet as if the walls were soundproof. He could barely hear the birds chirping happily outside the window. In that moment time felt still.
He felt a warm body snuggled up close to him, with strong arms using his chest as a pillow. He looked down at the older males sleeping face and smiled. This was the most relaxed Eren has ever seen Levi's face; he inhaled long deep breaths, Eren could feel the ravens chest move against him.
Raven hair was sprawled out against silk sheets, Eren gently pushed away the strands that clung to his handsome face, and leaned down to press a chaste kiss to his forehead.
They fell asleep on the couch last night watching some romantic comedy. Levi must have carried Eren to the bedroom because he doesn't remember walking there. How Levi was able to carry the brunette without waking him, Eren would never know, then again he's not really a light sleeper.
Eren felt Levi stir beside him and looked down to meet sleepy gray eyes. Eren gave a dorky smile saying,
"Good morning."
His expression didn't change as he replied fatigued, "Morning."
He sat up on the bed, and reached for his phone that was blinking on the nightstand. It was a text from Erwin saying that he, Petra, and Hanji couldn't do the morning shift. That was way too suspicious, and how was he supposed to do the morning shift by himself?
After that thought he received another text, this time from Hanji saying,
"Have Eren work with you it'll be fun! ;)"
Levi didn't want to know what that winky face implied. Eren doesn't know anything about working at a bakery, and he seems too dense to retain information. Those three were going to be the death of him.
Eren watched the annoyed expression the older man's face turned to, when he checked his phone; he seemed pretty pissed off, so Eren wasn't sure if he should ask what's wrong.
Levi pounded his thumbs into his keyboard sending them an angry text, something about murdering them in their sleep. Eren heard Levi curse under his breath as he turned off his phone screen.
"Fuck..."
"What's wrong?"
Levi flipped over the blanket and placed both feet onto the carpeted floor.
"We're taking the morning shift," he breathed out, calmer than Eren expected.
We?
"We? Us? Like a pair?"
Levi rolled his eyes.
Eren blinked.
"Join me in the shower."
Levi stood up and walked to the door that connected his room to the bathroom. He left the door open, waiting for the brunette to snap out of whatever godforsaken daydream he was having, and join him. Eren was still sitting on the bed putting the pieces together. A few seconds later, he hurried out of bed and into the bathroom.
The raven's shower was big enough for two, maybe even four. The water was searing hot, not quite volcanic, but pretty close. Levi was already stripped bare and soaking in the water. But Eren was sticking his hand in and out, trying to adapt to the temperature.
"Would you just get your ass in here?"
Levi grabbed him by the forearm and pulled him past the clear sliding doors, shutting them behind him. The raven noticed how red Eren's skin got when he placed him under the shower head.
"Is it really that hot? I'll turn it down if you want." Levi offered, while running his fingers through the soaking hair.
But by now Eren had already gotten used to it, it even started to feel good.
"No it's alright, I like it now."
Levi hummed in response and reached to grab the shampoo, he squirted a good amount into his hand then began to rub it all over Eren's hair, creating quite a bit of foam.
The shorter male found it difficult to reach the teens head, he was too stupidly tall. Eren giggled noticing his difficulty; so he bent down a bit to make it easier for his boyfriend. Levi knitted his eyebrows together, handling the brunette hair rougher than before.
"Ouch!" Eren whined."Are you attracted to bold teenagers!?"
"Maybe, if they have your face, now keep still I'm trying to work."
After Eren's painful head cleansing, Levi conditioned it with something magical and it felt softer than Armin's butt, which was incredibly soft by the way. He couldn't stop running his fingers through it.
"Holy fuck Levi!" He exclaimed, combing through the softness. "How many virgins did you sacrifice to get this?"
"It's just Loreal conditioner, you can get it at your nearest drug store. What where you using before, dog shit?"
"Two-in-one shampoo and conditioner."
"Same thing."
Levi got his body scrubber nice and foamy, then began to scrub the teen down. He started by holding his hand, while scrubbing up and down the length of the teen's arm. Levi continued this process carefully, using his eyes to scan for dirt.
Eren was surprised, he hasn't gotten washed like this since he was a baby. It felt really nice, like he was being pampered. When Levi invited the brunette into the shower he assumed they would do something sexual, but so far it seemed Levi's only intention was to clean him, not that he was complaining.
He felt Levi begin to scrub his chest, and his nipples hardened against his will. But Levi continued to go over them repeatedly. It was rough but oddly gentle, which caused Eren to bite his bottom lip to stop a sound that attempted to come out.
Levi smirked but didn't say anything as he continued to clean the younger body.
To Eren's disappointment nothing sexual ended up happening in the shower; the raven really did just want to clean him. On the bright side when Eren looked in the mirror he swore he was sparkling, he's never been this clean before. His hair was soft and shiny, like he just came from the spa, Levi's spa.
"Hey Levi you should open a spa."
It was a little past nine in the morning and Levi was sitting at the kitchen table drinking his black coffee and checking his email on his phone. Eren was seated across him, drinking his cream with a bit of coffee.
"If I did you'd be my only customer, I'm not touching anyone else."
He took another long sip of his coffee without looking away from his phone screen.
Eren's cheeks warmed a bit and he blamed it on the coffee as he took another sip. It felt a bit weird to drink with something around his neck, he nearly forgot it was there. He touched his neck feeling for the collar.
"Do I have to wear this to the bakery?"
Levi turned his phone screen off and shoved it in his pocket, finishing his last bit of coffee.
"Yes, to show everyone who you belong to," he gave a small grin, then stood up to grab both mugs and quickly washed and put them away. He went to the front door and got his keys from the dish as Eren followed close behind.
"So you said we have the morning shift-"
"Those three fuckers bailed on me so I'll need your help. Have you ever had a job before?"
"Umm..." Eren thought back to high-school when he use to work the register at that convenience store, though he only had that job for three months.
"Once during high-school."
"Good, so you shouldn't fail completely at it, I'm gonna need you serving customers while I bake shit in the kitchen." Baking shit didn't sound appetizing.
He started up the car and drove out of the lot. He lived about ten minutes away from the bakery, depending on the traffic of course. He hated driving because he was the only one who knew how to. He swore to God that he'd never drive with Hanji again.
"So," Levi started, eyes glancing to the brunette. "I haven't heard a pickup line from you in a while, do you not like saying them anymore?"
Eren didn't even notice but it has been a while since he said a line. Maybe it was because he'd gotten to comfortable and didn't feel the need to impress him anymore. Or maybe he ran out of material. Eren mentally laughed, it had to be the latter.
"Sounds like you want me to say them more often, I'll tell you one every hour if you want," Eren said dragging out his words.
Levi knew that he'd regret asking that question but if he didn't ask he'd regret that more, so he had to go with the decision he'd regret the least.
"I'd prefer you didn't."
"Are you a burger?"
Levi groaned and slapped his hand against his forehead, probably leaving a mark.
"Because you can be the meat between my buns!" Eren laughed loudly holding his stomach, tears leaking from his eyes.
Levi's head met the steering wheel.
They arrived at the bakery after Levi took some aspirin. The older male unlocked the door and cringed at the jingle that welcomed them. He flipped on the light switch, temporarily blinding Eren. He held the teens hand and lead him to the back, trying to find him a spare apron.
"Here we go," Levi said under his breath, handing the piece of fabric to the brunette.
"Thank yo-"
He halted his gratitude upon further examination of the offending was pink, not only pink but it also had frilly lace on the edges. He looked up at Levi to find him wearing a smug grin.
"It's girly."
"Don't you like girly things?"
"Only panties and when we're in private," he whined, dragging out his words.
"Just put it on I think it'll suit you."
Eren sighed pulling it over his head to cover, his tight jeans and white v-neck.
"Petra brought it here a while ago as a joke, Erwin lost a bet so he had to wear it for the day. I swear he's never been more popular."
Levi went behind him to tie the back into a bow so pretty that a Disney princess would be jealous.
"But I think it looks much better on you."
Eren turned around once he felt the bow was done and gave a sheepish smile.
"Now come here," Levi said, pulling the brunette behind the counter.
"I'm going to open up now, whenever you hear that God damn jingle you fake a smile and say "Welcome to the Titan Bakery." we have some real fuckers for customers but just grin and bear it. And don't let anyone touch you, your wearing that collar for a reason."
Eren nodded saying, "Yes sir," and for some reason gave a salute.
Levi just rolled his eyes and walked over the front door, flipping the sign so that 'closed' was facing him.
"I'll be in the kitchen if you need me."
Jingle, jingle.
"Welcome to the Titan Bakery!" Eren said as enthusiastically as he could. A well-built man, walked into the bakery. The bangs of his blonde hair were parted down the middle and he sported a mustache and beard combo.
He seemed harmless enough so the brunette welcomed him with a smile. He walked over to Eren and eyed him for a second, which was to be expected considering what he had on. But then for some reason he began to sniff the teen; Eren stepped back a little, a bit uncomfortable with being sniffed.
"You smell new," the man said, grinning.
Eren nervously laughed, "I'm just helping out for the morning."
The man's eyes landed on the collar that clearly stated who he belonged to.
"I see you're a friend of Levi's," he cooed.
"Well umm..."
"Or maybe a little more than friends." He was leaning on the counter like a school girl wanting to hear more gossip.
Eren wondered if he was a friend of Levi's, since any regular customer wouldn't be this interested. But if he's someone Levi doesn't like he shouldn't give him too much detail on their relationship.
"You know that apron suits you a lot more than it did Erwin."
So he got to see Erwin in the apron, Eren would kill for that.
"Do you have a picture?"
The man's eyebrows raised, "A picture? I have like fifty and I posted them all online."
The man took out his phone and opened his gallery to show the brunette all the pictures he took. Eren couldn't help the laugh that erupted from him, when he saw the photos. Eren kept sliding to find more and more embarrassing pictures, it seemed he had a whole album full.
"What the hell is so damn funny Eren?!"
Levi was in the kitchen tediously baking a batch of cookies, humming a tune. When just as he was about to put the tray into the oven, he hears Eren's loud chuckle that startled him enough to burn his index finger on the rack. He cursed but completed the task anyway, then came out to see what was causing this reaction.
He wasn't surprised to see Mike there chatting it up with the brunette, or at least trying to. It appeared that Mike was showing the brunette something on his phone, which is what must have caused the laughter.
Eren and Mike turned to look at the raven, who stood at the brunette's side possessively. He looked at the phone the brunette was holding and took it to see what they were laughing about.
The raven couldn't help the snort that came out, "You took pictures of this," he continued to laugh and handed the phone back to Mike.
"So tell me Levi," Mike began, glancing between the two of them. "Is this the boyfriend Hanji's been telling me about?"
Levi should have expected as much, Hanji and him were dating after-all.
"Yes, now stop distracting him. He's learning the value of a dollar."
The value of a dollar? Eren thought.
Levi noticed that Eren was a bit lost, "This is the idiot Hanji's dating," he said filling Eren in.
It came as a surprise to the teen, with the way Hanji is, Eren figured it'd be tough for her to find someone who could "tame" her. But it seems like this man was that guy.
"Well this idiot's name is Mike," he said looking to the brunette.
"Mine's Eren."
"Yup, I've definitely heard your name about a million times, from Hanji's mouth."
Levi heard the jingle of the door and saw some customers sitting down at the tables. So he shoved a box of donuts and a coffee at the blonde.
"Here's your usual, now get going before you're late to work."
Mike nodded and accepted his order, handed his money to the cute cashier, and waved before leaving the shop.
Eren and Levi exchanged looks.
"I didn't know Hanji had a boyfriend."
"There's a lot of things you don't know yet, but you'll learn them with time."
Eren hummed and when he looked around the bakery it had a lot more people than before. He wondered when they all got there and then he realized he needed to attend to them. Why did he agree to this again?
"What are you waiting for, go work that ass," Levi gave said ass a little slap of encouragement and watched the teen walk over to the tables and ask the customers for their orders.
The morning pretty much went on like that. Eren going table to table and serving people. Levi sending glares at anyone who dared to whistle at him. He baked whatever needed to be baked in the back and Eren was getting use to the job; if he kept this up then Levi would have to hire him.
A few hours had passed, it was after three now; and Eren and Levi's shift was about to end. But then he heard that jingle again, like he always did whenever he was about to leave. He heard Eren welcome them and Levi walked over to help. When he looked he saw his three idiots walk through the door, and for some reason Armin was with them. Hanji was all smiles carrying wine and a box of beers. When they were all through the door Erwin turned the sign so that open was facing him.
Armin ran over to Eren cheerfully and they shared a quick embrace.
"What are you doing here?"
"Erwin texted me, said that we were going to have a little get together at the bakery."
Armin took a second to take in the brunette's appearance.
"I didn't know you were into BDSM Eren?"
BDSM? Wait, what? No!
As if the word were a trigger, everyone looked at the brunette.
"Awe! Eren you look soooo cute!" Hanji chimed.
"Way nicer than Erwin did in it."
They proceeded to mock Erwin with old memories and question Levi about the collar. Hanji referred to the raven as a, "kinky bastard." He seemed to take the title with pride.
Once that conversation was over, Hanji placed the alcohol down on one of the tables, then she and Petra went one-by-one to each window, pulling the blinds down. They could still see though because the lights were on. Levi stood with his arms crossed watching. He wasn't sure if he should just let them do what they want or stop it before it got out of control. So he decided to confront the most sensible one of the group.
"Petra," he started, walking over to the auburn haired woman, who was in the middle of pulling down the window blind. She smiled and turned to him.
"Why were you guys unable to work? You all look perfectly fine to me."
"We were planning a little party to welcome Eren and Armin, we're all a part of the same squad now, so to speak. Don't be so grumpy, I'm sure a little wine with Eren will loosen you up," she rubbed his shoulder affectionately.
Well It looked like there would be no work getting done this evening; so Levi decided to just relax and have a drink since it was offered. He could never say no to Petra.
"Alright, let's get this party started!" Hanji cheered, as she pushed some of the square tables together in order to form one big table.
Everyone gathered round and had a seat. At the head of the table was Hanji, to her right was Levi, then Eren and next to him came Armin, and of course Erwin was to his right, and finally Petra between Erwin and Hanji.
"You're too loud shitty-glasses." Levi didn't want the whole block to know that they closed early to have a party, they could get arrested. Especially since they had two underage kids in the same room as alcohol.
Hanji laughed it off saying, "I haven't even had anything to drink yet!"
Levi pinched the bridge of his nose, reaching for a beer that was placed in the center of the table, he popped the cap off and had a sip.
"I'm too sober for this," he said, taking another gulp.
Eren giggled next to him and turned to the raven.
"Is this one of those special circumstances were you let me drink?"
Levi needed some aspirin to go with his beer.
The teen was giving him puppy dog eyes and holding his hand in his lap.
"Oh come on Levi," Hanji encouraged, which didn't help sway him at all.
Levi hummed while taking another sip,"For a kiss."
Levi locked eyes with him, Eren's widened in fear.
"In front of everyone?" he whispered, but was still clearly audible by everyone at the table. Petra giggled, thinking how cute the two of them were. Hanji had a hunger in her eyes, like she's been dying to see this. And Erwin was simply smirking.
"Yes right now, with tongue and everything," Levi was deathly serious.
Eren gulped and looked to Armin for advice, the blonde gave him a nod of encouragement and Eren figured, why not.
"Alrigh-"
Before Eren could even finish the word, Levi's lips were on his. His hand went to the back on the brunette's head, pulling him closer. His other hand went to rest on the teen's thigh. Levi immediately stuck his tongue inside, taking advantage of his open mouth. It wasn't even a battle, Eren gave up instantly, letting the raven take control of his mouth.
Muffled moans came out of the brunette, as Levi rubbed a little too close to his crotch.
Erwin let out a whistle, not at all surprised by Levi's behavior. The muscular blonde turned to his left to see a huge blush across Armin's face, he chuckled at the sight.
Levi'd been wanting to kiss the brunette like this all day so he wasn't holding back. Once he decided Eren had had enough, he reluctantly pulled away.
Eren's cheeks were flushed a hot pink, and was trying his best to catch his breath. He forgot he needed oxygen to survive. Levi grinned, very satisfied, he was definitely beginning to loosen up.
Ten minutes later, they decided to play a drinking game. Surprisingly, Petra was the one who suggested it. The game they decided to play was, flip, sip or strip.The rules were you flip a quarter, while it's in the air you call heads or tails. If your guess is right, you pass the quarter to the right, if you're wrong you pass the quarter to the left. And you must either strip something off, or take a sip of alcohol, but you cannot do the same thing twice in a row.
Once the rules were explained, they started at the head of the table. Hanji gladly took the quarter and flipped it, probably higher than necessary.
"Heads!" She's called out and when it landed in her hand she saw she was right.
"Yes!"
Then since her guess was correct she passed the quarter to her right, handing it to Levi. He sighed, flipping the quarter in the air, "heads," he said.
When it landed back into his hand, he found his guess to be correct, so he past the quarter on to Eren.
Eren took the quarter and took a second to think of what side he should call. Tails usually worked for him so that's what he decided on.
"Tails," he called out and when the quarter landed, he could rest easy because he was right.
"Shit," Levi said under his breath. He really wanted Eren to sip or strip, preferably strip. The eyes at the table landed on the raven and he shrugged.
"Someone's a bit impatient," Petra giggled.
Never the less Eren passed the quarter on to his little blonde friend. Armin took the quarter and flipped it.
"Tails," he figured since it worked for Eren that maybe it'd work for him. Unfortunately, his guess was wrong.
Eren laughed and Armin pouted.
"Ok Armin," Erwin began, a little too happy. "Sip or strip?"
"Sip,"
Armin picked up a red plastic cup that had been filled with beer and took a sip. Then Armin past the quarter to his left, returning it to Eren.
"Wait, I have to go again?"
Levi chuckled darkly, "That's how the game goes. Now flip."
Eren was a little upset, just because he knew that he'd probably get it wrong this time.
"Tails," he said as the quarter went into the air.
"Its heads," Levi said triumphantly. "Sip or strip?"
Eren figured that now was his chance to get rid of the apron so that's what he chose. He turned his back to Levi so that he could undo the bow that he so beautifully tied this morning. Levi really liked how the apron looked on the teen but it was ok because that wasn't the only article of clothing he'd be losing tonight. Once the bow was undone Eren lifted it over his head and placed it on a nearby table.
"Well now it's your turn again," Eren mocked, hoping to get Levi to show some more skin.
"So it is," he flipped the quarter, "heads," and it looked like his guess was correct. He smirked at Eren's pouting face as he handed the quarter back to the teen again.
"Damn are we ever going to get it?" Erwin called out.
Eren just flipped the quarter hopping that his guess would be right.
"Heads," and when Eren looked at the quarter he could breathe a sigh of relief because he was right. So he, then, passed it back to Armin.
Armin guessed heads, and cheered happily because he was right. He handed the quarter to commander eyebrows.
One hour later and Levi was still fully clothed except for losing his apron, he must be really good at guessing. The only thing Hanji lost was her jacket and she took two sips. Petra lost her jacket, earrings, socks, and took two sips. Erwin lost his jacket, shoes socks, and took two sips. And finally the two biggest losers of the evening. Armin lost his jacket, shoes, socks, and shirt, he also took 4 sips. Eren lost his, apron, shoes, socks, and shirt, he also took 5 sips.
He attempted to strip off his collar instead of his shirt, but Levi had a clear objection to that.
Eren and Armin were both a little more than tipsy, they were also shirtless and clingy.
But what upset Levi was that it wasn't him the boy was clinging to.
Armin and Eren were cuddling each other. The raven wasn't sure if it was for warmth, affection, or just to piss him off. He got that they were best friends but still, a shirtless Eren should be clinging to him. But Erwin that bastard, he just looked amused.
"Eeereen," Hanji drew out each syllable, "I think you're making Levi jealous," she sang.
Eren looked over to his boyfriend and although he tried to hide it, he did look more irritated than usual. He reluctantly released Armin from their embrace, leaving a kiss on his cheek, and went to wrap his arms around the older male, pressing his head to the man's chest. He hummed feeling warmer than before, he felt comfortable on the well-defined torso.
Erwin didn't want to leave the little blonde out, so he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, giving him more than enough warmth. Nobody else could see it but Armin blushed furiously.
"Hanji, you want to cuddle with me?"
"Sure!"
Petra and Hanji welcomed each other in a warm embrace. Now they were all paired up.
"I think it's time we ended this game, ended this party, and..." Levi directed his attention to the brunette now. "Ended this teasing, I want you in my bed now."
Eren's cheeks felt about as hot as the shower they had this morning, maybe a little hotter. And his heart beat quickened at those words. They were finally going to consummate their relationship.
"Way to be blunt," Erwin muttered under his breath, "well I'll take Armin home then."
They all said their goodbyes, trapping Levi in the middle of a group hug, so that there was no escape. Hanji stashed the rest of the beer and wine in the kitchen for next time. And they left, while Petra locked up, before disbanding.
To be continued...
