Levi had no idea how to react to the kiss. He knew he ought to push Eren away and tell him not to. Though, he really didn't want to. He decided he'd deal with all that later, finally making the decision to wrap his arms around Eren's neck and kiss him back gently, letting the other man hold him.
When they pulled away, neither of them said anything, just keeping close to each other, their arms still wrapped around each other.
"We shouldn't be doing this. It's immoral and sinful." Levi said softly to the other man despite the fact that he still hadn't let go of him.
"Did you like it, though, Corporal?" Eren asked, holding the smaller man by the waist.
"I guess I did, yes." Levi admitted with a sigh and a nod.
"As did I. I guess we'll just have to make sure no one finds out."
Levi looked up at Eren, trying to read him. "Homosexuals go to Hell, though." He said softly.
Eren sighed softly at that, gently cupping Levi's cheeks. "Yes, but it was thanks to God that we found each other. He was the one who brought us together, and let me save you from those camps. This is His plan. He wouldn't want to deliberately send us down to Hell."
Levi looked up at Eren at that and smiled softly. "I guess you've got a point. There's no way He could want to send us down there after bringing us together again."
Eren smiled gently to Levi, kissing his forehead. "We're just before our time, that's all. We'll get through this together; we just need to keep our feelings for each other hidden. When we get to America and settle down together, we'll convince people we're roommates."
Levi nodded at that, figuring it would be a good plan, and kissing Eren once again, hugging him tightly. He smiled softly and let the other man lift him up off his feet and swing him around in a circle a bit. He smiled, as he was set down on the bed after a bit, keeping close to Eren as the other ran his fingers through his hair and played with it.
"I think I first fell for you when we first met and you saved me from that titan, sir." Eren said softly to the other, glad that he'd seemed to be able to bring out the other's softer side.
"Yeah? I think I fell for you when you were in that cell before the trial and you were so dead set on killing all the titans. It impressed me." Levi replied, leaning into Eren a bit and letting the other continue to play with his hair.
Eren smiled at that and kissed Levi's temple softly, keeping the other man held close to him. "It's a shame we didn't get to tell each other how we felt back then." He said softly to the other man.
Levi frowned a bit and nodded, keeping close to Eren as he remembered the last moments of his last life. He quickly shook the thoughts from his head, wanting to remain optimistic with Eren and forget the bad things for a while.
"We have each other now, though. I guess that's really the most important thing, Corporal." Eren continued, wrapping an arm around the other's waist and holding him close to himself.
"Yeah, we do. And we'll be able to start all over when we get to America, too." Levi replied with a nod to the other man, more than glad that the other seemed to be able to lighten his mood so easily.
"We're going have to get jobs when we get there. What kind of job would you want, if you could have your way, sir?"
"Preferably, if I could have my way, I'd be paid for doing nothing."
Eren laughed at that and smiled happily to Levi, shaking his head. "Seriously, Corporal. What would you want to do?"
"I think I could teach French or work in a patisserie." Levi replied honestly to Eren with a small shrug.
"That sounds nice. It would be nice to be able to teach German, but pretty much anything related to Germany's taboo right now." Eren replied with a small sigh. "I'm pretty good with numbers, though, so I could be an accountant."
Levi nodded to Eren and sighed a bit, keeping close to him and gently holding onto his hand. "You said you'd stay by me for the rest of time to keep me safe. How are we going to do that without raising suspicion?"
Eren frowned a bit and had to think about that one for a bit. "I guess we'll just have to tell people we're roommates. "
"I guess that's really the only option." Levi replied before yawning. "Damn, I'm tired."
"Let's go to bed, then. We'll be on this boat for a while anyways." Eren replied to him with a nod and a small smile, moving to strip down to his underwear with Levi, and then laying in the bed with him.
"Sleep well, Levi. I love you." Eren said to the other man, gently stroking his silky black hair.
"I love you, too, Eren." Levi replied, gently kissing the other's cheek before letting his eyes flutter shut as he slowly fell asleep next to Eren.
Eren kissed Levi's forehead gently and held him close to himself, making sure the other was safe and comfortable before letting himself fall asleep next to him, his nose buried in the other's soft hair. He smiled as he dreamt easily about their lives in America, even if he'd never be able to express his love to the other outside the safety and privacy of their own home. They'd grow old together and never leave each other's side through the rest of their lives. They'd be happy together for the rest of time and he'd be able to protect the man who'd protected him so many times in the past.
