Capture The Moments
Chapter Eleven: It's Already Fucking May

So when we returned, it was directly back to regular and heavy classes, which is something I do not mind, as long as I have something to occupy myself with. Everyone was stressing because we were basically cramming for the end-of-the-year tests that we didn't even have to take because mostly every senior was already guaranteed their graduation spot personally. I guess the teachers just needed to get grades in. Eren was also just as busy. He and the rest of the students that were in Mr. Hannes' class, all had to stay after school every other day to attend seminars. Apparently, it wasn't just photography Eren was trying to get into. Another thing, Ymir was serious about putting me up for the graduation speech. She even talked to the principal about it directly. I remember when I was told this information, I had argued with Ymir for so long that day that I ended up crying about it. How could she do this to me? I'm a mess of a human being who can't even go a two sentences without cursing. So now, I had another thing to stress over. I had until the day of graduation to finish it and thinking about it really messed me up inside. Eren had to pull me into bed because my body refused to get up from Eren's swivel chair. I got so stressed about it that I even became sick and I had to stay home for three days. But now, it's the beginning of May and we only have a few days before school ends. Graduation day was scheduled to be the eighteen of June. So I had until then. I tried countless of times with Principal Erwin to reconsider giving the job to someone else, but he even took the idea to the rest of the staff and teachers. They all talked it over and said that it would be a good thing for me to do, so when I asked he politely rejected it and said that it was given to me to do. Now I'm fucked.

"Don't worry Levi, you'll do fine. What do you have so far?" Eren smiled at me. God, I was so lucky to have him around. I would have lost my mind if he hadn't been hear to calm me down. I mean yes, I have Petra, but Eren is special.

"Good evening students," I read. "That's all." It was pathetic. I was pathetic.

"You should imagine it as if you were having a conversation with someone."

"This is supposed to be inspirational."

"So I guess now wouldn't be the time to tell you some news that I have received?"

"What?"

Eren smiled sheepishly. "Well Hannes is taking the team to Europe to meet some professionals, and it's like an internship."

My jaw dropped. "When and for how long?"

"About a month, and on the twentieth."

My eyebrows furrowed. "Will you make it to my graduation?"

"I will personally fly down on my own if we still have to be there on graduation day." He leaned forward and kissed me. "I wouldn't miss this. It's very important."

I smiled which earned me nuzzles and a few kisses. "I need you to be there, I need a focal point." I told him.

"Don't worry Levi, I'll be there. Okay?" He wrapped his arms around my neck. "I love you. Here let me help you." He took the pencil from my hand and wrote. "I guess we finally made it to this point, graduation. It was what, about thirteen or fourteen years of our lives for this moment?" I leaned into him and kissed his cheek. "I need to work on it though, not you. But thank you so much." I smiled at him.

"I don't like seeing you stress so much over something." He said as he turned the swivel chair around. He stood up and took me with him. He dropped me on his bed and towered over me. "Stop frowning all the damn time."

"But if I fuck up in front of the whole school, I'm done for." I mumbled. Eren made a face. I just looked up at him. Then I sighed. "I'm sorry baby, but you know, believe it or not, I do not like disappointing people." Eren just raised an eyebrow at me after I said that. He slowly leaned in and kissed my neck. I ran my fingers in his hair and brought him closer. Eren chuckled in his throat and nibbled on my earlobe. Then, he lifted my shirt and trailed kisses down my chest. Until he kissed the sides of my stomach and I jerked away and started giggling uncontrollably. Eren looked startled. "Okay, lesson learned don't kiss Levi there." He slammed his hands on the side of my head. "I was trying to be sexy here. What happened?"

"You tickled me." I said barely audible and turned away.

"Hm?" Then he smirked. "Oh? Really?" He trapped me underneath him. He raised his fingers and I squealed (yes squealed, so unattractive but it was my body's first reaction) and tried moving away from him but Eren attacked me first. Tickling my sides and I started laughing, I felt so awkward but felt so happy, and I also felt my face going red and hot because of this. He tickled me until I couldn't breathe, and he gave me time to recover before tickling me again. Petra even stopped by to see what was going on. "Eren, don't put Levi through this torture." Petra shrugged casually and did nothing to stop her cousin. She even helped, well fuck me. "Ow, ow! Okay-" I was cut off by laughter. "Stop, it-.. it hurts!" Eren stopped after eighty-four years. He pulled me to sit up. "Still stressed?" He asked. I smiled and shook my head. "No, and thank you." I leaned forward and kissed his forehead.

Eren hugged me. "That's good." I held him tightly. "See this is why I need you around."

"You say it like he's leaving." Petra sat down.

"Well I am, for important things." Eren let me go and turned to her.

Petra made a face. "Where?"

"Europe. Well, mostly France, Italy, Germany." Eren smiled. "For about a month."

"Bring me chocolate." Petra smiled and lied her head on Eren's leg. "Have fun, but if you stay there I'll fly up there, hunt you down, and drag you back. Literally."

Eren smiled sheepishly. "I have many reasons to stay here." Eren kissed my hand. "So don't worry."

Petra balled up the hem of his sweatshirt. "Me too, right?"

"Of course. Why would I leave my only cousin behind?"

"Well," Petra sat up. "Because you are more interested in my friends then me, I just assumed that you know," Petra put a sad face on. "You wouldn't care about me." She dramatically pulled away and turned her face to the side like she was in one of those Spanish novelas. She quickly went through her phone and played some violin music. Then she quickly went back to her previous position. "I am nothing but another person who lives in this house! I shall take my leave! Thou shall not follow thee to thy room!" Petra turned and ran downstairs to her room.

"I love her." I chuckled.

"I'm going to go buy her a frappuchino. You want anything?"

"I want chewy cookies."

"Okay," He leaned in. "And you want me to make you tea?" I smiled sheepishly at that and nuzzled him. "I'm out of tea."

"Oh, well then I'll buy you some more." He kissed my nose and got up. "I'll be back soon, and stay away from that speech for the rest of the day okay?" Eren blew me a kiss and left.

He was gone for about thirty minutes and when he came back him and I went downstairs. The three of us were in Petra's room. Eren and I were toying with her hair and fingers, placing little kisses on her face, poking her cheeks, and occasionally tickling her because Eren and I felt that Petra didn't get enough attention from us after she put up her little show. We could both tell that she was absolutely enjoying it.

"Don't forget we love you too, Petra." Eren said as he hugged her and pressed his face in her hair.

I placed a big kiss on her cheek. "Eren tells the truth."

"I love you guys, you two are amazing." She giggled and held our hands.

Then there was a knock on the door. "Aw crap, I didn't make dinner." Petra mumbled. She slipped off the bed and grabbed her half-empty frappuchino as she made for the door. We followed her and she opened the door only for her to scream and hug whoever was at the door. Eren quickly made for the door and froze. "Mikasa.." He whispered. Then a girl with long black hair jumped into his arms. Krista and Ymir came in. "Job complete." Then they fist pounded each other.

"What did you do?"

"We added new ingredients to our little soup of tension." Krista smiled. "Jealous already?"

I glanced over to Eren and Mikasa, who didn't look like they were going to let each other go. "No."

Then Jean came in with Armin. Petra squealed and hugged him.

"Consider it a test, if it breaks your relationship, you are weak."

I sighed and looked over to them, they talked quietly to each other with several smiles and nods, until Eren teared up and hugged her again. Then Armin was pulled in by Eren. He looked at me and motioned me towards them. "Guys this is Levi, Levi; Mikasa and Armin."

"Finally get to see you in person." Armin smiled and shook my hand. Damn that French accent was so deep.

"What? How come I was left out?"

"Ah, because you are never around when I call?" Eren pinched her nose.

Armin was giving Eren a look as if they were saying something to each other. Then Eren held me closer. "Mikasa, Levi is my boyfriend."

Mikasa's eyes widened and she looked mad and hurt at the same time. "What?"

Eren smiled and nodded. "Yes and I love him very much. Don't worry, he's not that mean to me." Eren hugged me.

Mikasa gave me a look. "Aha. And since when?"

"Since the sixth of April,"

"It's the fourth of May, why am I finding out now?"

Eren looked at Armin. Armin stepped in front of him. "Nous savions que vous obtiendriez tout bouleversé à ce sujet."

"Look I really don't care what you thought. We've been friends since we were children and keeping something like this away from me isn't fucking fair."

Eren grabbed Mikasa's hand and pulled her outside gently. Armin put his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, Mikasa needs to be handled specially. When it comes to him, her feelings can get hurt easily and she'll get all defensive." Armin, was only like two inches smaller than Eren and one inch taller than me. He had blond hair that ended at the shoulders and bangs that hung loosely and ended just above the eyebrows. Very light blue eyes and his frame was slim.

I shrugged. "I'm German," I stuck out my hand.

Armin laughed and shook my hand. "French. So tell me, because Eren never finishes the story."

"We met on his first day at Trost High. He came in late making the whole class start late. He took pictures of everything and followed me everywhere with his camera, insisting he needed my picture."

"Ah, yes, sounds like him. He told me you are the most beautiful man he's ever seen in his life."

I blushed when Armin said that to me. Damnit Eren, stop saying those things that are meant to kill my heart. "He really loves you." Armin smiled when he saw my reaction. Eren and Mikasa came back in and she immediately went back to Petra and hugged her. "Will you be entering Trost High?" I asked.

"We have to because we need to test."

"Cool," I answered awkwardly. Armin chuckled. "Well, you'll help me around right? You know a lot, you're a senior."

"Yes, just remember not to get stuck in the middle of the hall, because even though you are taller than me, you are shorter than everyone else in the room so don't get trapped with all the tall people. And yes, there are many tall people."

"Aw, well I guess it will be fun. I was home schooled, so it will be a nice experience."

"It's gonna suck. You start tomorrow correct?" I asked and Armin nodded. "Yep, I'm excited."

"You're the first person besides Eren to be excited about going to school. You two are weird. So like, are you staying here or visiting?"

"Well it took some time to think over. We were phoned by Krista and Ymir saying that they were amis of Eren and Petra and that it would make Eren really happy if he was closer to people he was already familiar with. So Mikasa and I thought about it, and said 'Why not?' and we came down. So to answer your question, we're staying. It's really nice here. Driving by that plage when it's all in the humeur to.. to.." He stopped he made a gesture with his hands like he was looking for something. "Like when..." Armin sighed. "Pleut." Then he wiggled his fingers and lowered them.

"Raining?"

"That! Yea, forgive me. Eren told me that if I didn't speak English to you he would do hide my phone for a month and my English is terrible." Armin sighed. "I haven't upset you right? Eren says you don't have a lot of patience with people you just met. Have I spoken too much for you?"

I furrowed my eyebrows and pursed my lips. "Wow, he's so rude. No it's fine. You're English is okay. But you're accent is very deep."

"Is it? I had only started to study English in the middle of last year. So yeah."

"Lucky for you, people speak a lot of French here. Like Jean for example, is French. Krista, you know, the blonde one over there, can also speak French. I can not so please don't speak to me in French."

"You understood me though?"

"I know some of the basics. I am taking French I in school."

"Tres bien!" Armin clapped his hands. "Well excuse me, I must go check up on Petra." Then he left. I can already sense that it's going to get quite busy around here.

The next day after Armin and Mikasa arrived was hectic. Petra had Mikasa and Armin stay the night so that meant we also had to take them to school. I wouldn't have a problem with that, if only those three; Mikasa, Armin, and Petra talked a lot less than they did. I had to put earbuds in to block them out. Eren turned to face me at one of the lights and smiled at me. He reached over to grab my hand. He kissed my knuckles before moving forward once again.

Eren and Jean always seemed to meet each other in the parking lot. It's the same exact parking spot and Eren always takes his time parking. He rolled down his window. "Hi," Eren said.

"Fuck you."

Eren smiled and made kissy noises at him. Jean looked annoyed. When Eren finished parking Hanji ran next to the door I was on. She opened the door. "Quickly! Erwin is asking for all the seniors." She pulled me out of the car by the hand and ran into the school. With my free hand, I took my earbuds out and tried finding my glasses in my book bag (Eren had hid my contacts from me once again) and when I found them I almost dropped them while putting them on. Hanji pulled me into the auditorium and there were all the seniors. Hanji didn't let go till we both sat down.

Principal Smith cleared his throat. "Good morning students. I brought you here regarding graduation. As you know, Levi will be giving the speech." I waited till he looked at me to show him me pressing a finger gun to my head. He smiled slightly. "And we need to give out the gowns today because they came in early and we don't have a place to put them."

"Principal Erwin did you make sure that Levi doesn't have a gown that is too big and go way past his legs?" Reiner asked.

"Yes because he's very tiny." Ymir added.

"The smallest of our senior group actually." Bertolt finished.

I got up and headed for the door. "Aw, Levi we were just joking." Ymir came after me and wrapped her arms around me.

"I hate you all."

"Okay, okay. Sit down you two, we aren't done." Principal Smith said.

"Come here little baby." Ymir said as she picked me up off the floor and carried me back to the seats. And a few moments later, they passed out our gowns and I slipped mine on. I couldn't help but feel happy wearing it. I smiled. Finally my day was coming, to graduate from my very long years of school. I looked at Hanji who had Eren's camera pointed at me. I was too happy to even become upset about this, so I smiled. Hanji laughed and took more pictures.

"He let me borrow it to take pictures, and I'm sure he would enjoy these. Besides, I want one for me that has you and I."

She took several more pictures and to think the amount she was going to take when the actual graduation day came. After a few minutes, we were dismissed to our classes. I neatly folded my gown and put it in my locker.

Then I joined the first period, which was being held in the gym because the ICT room was busy. So Ms. Brzenska had everyone hang out there since no one has gym first period.

I saw Eren and Jean playing basketball when I walked in. Petra was braiding ribbons into Armin's hair so Hanji bolted over there to see. I sat at the bottom bench of the bleachers and waited for Eren to finish. Jean and Eren ended up crashing into each other and fell on the floor. Eren rolled over on top of Jean. "Why don't you watch what you're doing?" He said, mockingly angry and annoyed as he grabbed his shirt.

"Listen here buddy, you were the one that stepped out of line and got in the way." Jean scolded back. Those two were both on the edge of laughing.

"Yeager and Kirschtein! Get off each other now." Ms. Brzenska yelled.

Eren pushed Jean down as he got off of him and ran up to me and sat on my lap. Jean flipped him off and walked away to Reiner and Bertolt. Eren placed small kisses on my cheek. I turned to look at him. "You're glasses are cute."

"Just you wait till we get home." I huffed.

"Oh no, are you going to punish me?" He snickered.

"Don't say such things and I don't have to tell you what I'm going to do. This is for hiding my contacts."

Eren giggled and gave a big kiss to my cheek. "Okay, whatever you say, my adorable boyfriend." And then he placed his lunch box in my hands. "Feed me my snack."

I opened it up and tsked at the first thing I saw. "Are you five?"

"What? I like them, now feed me." Eren kissed my jawline. They were goldfish. But whenever his lips touched my fingers, I smiled because his lips were so soft and it felt nice. Eren just chewed in silence as he rested his head on my shoulder. I let him eat half of the amount in the baggie he put them in before putting them away. I explored his lunch box to see what else he had in there. Cookies, brownies, apple slices, a ham sandwich, peaches, chips, baby carrots, yogurt, and a handful of various types of Hershey kisses. "Why do you have all of this if you eat school lunch?"

"I had the munchies this morning. I came prepared." Eren smiled. "Hand me the Hershey kiss that's wrapped in blue and white." I did and then I popped it into his mouth after he unwrapped it. When he was done eating, I grabbed his chin and kissed him. Eren squeaked a little. Both of his hands were around my wrist. I leaned closer in and bit down on his lip. His mouth opened as he moaned and I took that moment to slip my tongue into his mouth. I could feel the mess Eren was turning into. He was clutching to my shirt now, and he kept letting out soft moans. I gripped on his hair tightly, feeling the smooth hair slip through my fingers.

"You two should keep the PDA down," Petra chuckled a little.

I slowly pulled away from Eren and kissed his nose. "I love you,"

"I love you too." He said happily as he kissed me lightly again. His eyes were bright and filled with happiness. I was blessed to have someone as special as him in my life. It's not like I did a lot to win him over. For crying out loud, I was so mean to him when we first met and though I do regret it, I'm glad I wasn't totally nice to him. I got to know him better this way. Or maybe Eren just loves me too much and see's a lot in me that isn't there. I'm not an angel if that's what Eren thinks, but whatever he sees, I'm glad he gave me the chance and time to fall in love with him. I'll be torn if he leaves me now. I'm hooked, damn it, I want to keep what we have.

"You're ignoring me." Eren poked my cheek. I raised an eyebrow. "What?

"I asked you to push your hair back."

"I'll look like a dweeb."

"You already look like a dweeb." Hanji snickered.

Eren giggled slightly, he kissed my cheek."But don't worry, you're hot and sexy."

"Aw, thank you sweetheart. It's not like I hear that from you everyday."

"I do try to make sure I tell you that everyday."

I flashed a sarcastic smile. I watched Jean challenge Marco to a game of basketball. Eren was still looking at me expectantly, as if because I didn't directly say No he thought that meant Yes. I sighed internally and ran my hand through the front side of the hair, but didn't look at him. Petra came out of nowhere and hair sprayed my hair. "Touch it and I end you."

I pursed my lips at Eren. "Look baby, the mess you've made."

"But you look-"

"Yes yes, I know, hot and sexy."

Eren giggled. "Hearing you say that makes it a lot better too."

"How about you get off my lap?"

"Are you rebuffing my affection?"

"Mhm, now, off Yeager."

"Fine, there's another Ackerman that will enjoy my company." He stuck his tongue at me and left the gym. I glanced at the teacher, who was too busy chatting with Pixis to see that one of her students walked out of the room. I looked up at Petra and she gave me the same look I had on my face. "Let's raid his book bag." Petra snickered. "Here, take this." She handed me his camera. My heart sunk. "He'll freak." I took it anyways.

"That's the point." Petra smiled. I put the camera in its case and placed it carefully in my book bag on top of my sweater. Petra did the same with his Polaroid and then handed me his car keys, his sketchbook, and his camera film. I actually felt bad for doing this. I was glad the bell rang so that Petra couldn't give me anymore of his things. "Well, seniors have the broken schedule so I"ll see you later." I told her and waved. Eren burst into the room. "I'm back!"

"You were gone?" I tipped my head and walked up to him.

"Uh, rude!"

I rolled my eyes and walked past him and since I felt his eyes on me, I made sure to make my hips sway as I walked. I could hear the whine in his throat as I left the gymnasium. I chuckled to myself. But when I got to the stairs he pulled me back and hugged me from behind. I sighed and continued walking up the stairs, pulling him along with me. "You know, you don't go the same way as me anymore. Principal Smith has this thing were seniors get a weird schedule the last two months."

"At least let me kiss you."

I stopped and he tilted my head towards him. He smiled and kissed me. "Alright, you're free to go."
I chuckled and turned to him. "I'll see you at lunch, okay?" I kissed him forehead and continued up the stairs. I walked into math, which is still second period so I didn't have to do any extra walking. I sat down and unlocked my phone. Ymir jumped into the seat next to me. "Help me."

"Not after you decided to dump the speech on me, but I"ll listen to what you have to say.

Ymir made a face, but handed me an envelope. I opened it and took out the letter inside.

To Ymir and Krista,
I'm writing to you to tell you that we'll be coming down for your senior graduation,
and knowing Rod, he'll want to stay with the graduates so he wanted me to ask you if
you and Krista had room for the three of us. Of course we'll need an answer soon because
we need to look at tickets and everything, so please let us know.

Love,
Stella Reiss

"Hm, well first wear a dress to graduation."

"Levi, I"ll even wear heels."

I smiled. "Look at Ymir getting all girly for her girlfriend's parents."

"You know I'm not going to prom?"

"Me neither, I wanna go when Eren's a senior."

"It's the same thing with Krista and I."

"Petra made me commit a crime today."

"My little redhead, she's so cute."

"Hello? Crime is not cute, there could be a fucking crisis."

"What did she do?"

"She raided Eren's book bag and stole both his cameras, his keys, and a sketchbook."

Ymir sucked air in through her teeth. "She went for his cameras. That must have been done in cold blood."

"And she gave me one of the camera, his keys, and the sketchbook." Eren burst into the room, his face red and out of breath. The teacher almost died of a heart attack and I jumped ten feet of the ground. Eren stomped towards me. "Levi!"

"Y-yes?"

"My car keys. Now."

I gave out a sigh of relief and handed him his keys after reaching them out of my pocket. He grumpily swiped them away and walked out of the room. Ymir looked at me. "Just imagine how he is going to react when you have his camera. Do you have the black one?" When I nodded Ymir snickered. "Don't worry, I'll bring you flowers at your funeral."

"You aren't invited."

"I'll be coming because Petra will be inviting me. You would be dead, so you technically have no say."

They whole day I've been feeling between wanting to laugh and waiting for his reaction before killing me for taking his camera. On my way to last period I saw Petra on the floor with Eren on top of her. "Tell me where it is now."

"Um, let's see..." Petra tapped her chin. "I can't quite recall where it was put. It's lost."

"I know you know where it is. I also know you are giving my things to other people. Spill now, or die."

Petra closed her eyes and played dead. Eren whined and shook her. "Petra come on! This isn't fair. Give me my camera back!" Seeing this, I quickly made for the door. "Levi!" Eren called. I froze and turned. I smiled sheepishly. "Hello my darling."

"You wouldn't happen to know where this girl put my camera right?"

"Hm... I can't quite recall where it was put. It's lost." I smirked and pulled Petra away.

"You guys are the worst." Eren huffed and slammed his locker closed before storming off. I grabbed him arm to stop him. "Aw, is the little baby going to throw a tantrum?"

"Let go of me, traitor." He pulled away but my grip only tightened. "Baby, you can try to leave but you won't get there."

"Why are you two being this way? I just want my camera back." His lips quivered. My heart melted and I opened my mouth to confess but Petra pulled me away. "Do not fall weak! You must be strong! That is one of his tricks on getting what he wants, do not fall for them. It worked when he was a baby, but he is seventeen. Do not break on me." Petra pulled me into the classroom. All the chairs had canvases in front of them. I sighed. The end-of-the-year assignment where we had to paint something for the ceremony display. This sucks. Eren came into the room and sat on my lap. "Levi," He started and toyed with my hair. "Please tell me where my camera is."

"No."

"Why are you so mean?" He whined and rest his head on my shoulder. I smiled. "Cause you're so cute when you don't get what you want." I poked his cheek. Eren sighed. He leaned forward to kiss me. "No you don't." Petra put her hand in the way of his lips to mine. "Do not get your way like that. Don't cheat. Figure it out."

Eren sighed and stood up. "Fine, I guess I have to resort to drastic measures." He pulled Petra out of her chair and grabbed her bag. "The only place I haven't look yet and you haven't removed this from your back." He opened it and froze. "How. Dare. You. Fucking. Bitch. I. Was. Looking. All. Over. For. This!" He pulled out the Polaroid out of her bag. He dropped her bag on the floor and looked over at me. Then he slowly made his way over. When he put his Polaroid down, I tripped him on the floor. "Don't get near me, violation of privacy."

Eren sat up and started to cry. "You're the meanest person ever!"

I sighed and looked at Petra, who narrowed her eyes at me. "I'm sorry." I mouthed at her and handed Eren his camera. Eren stopped crying immediately. "Thank you so much, I love you." He kissed my lips and sat down. Petra threw a paintbrush at me. "Screw you, damnit."

"Is that really fair? I didn't even want to be put into this. I have no choice in how my life goes at all anymore and it's because of you females. I need new friends."

"Alright class! For some people, you already know what this assignment is for, but for any freshman or other new students I will explain what you must do. You must sketch and paint something with a sentiment. It could be anything, just keep it appropriate."

I turned my canvas sideways. "This is going to take forever." I said to myself.

"Nonsense, everyone knows you can secretly draw. Stop being this way." Petra scoffed.

I pursed my lips and looked at her. Eren smiled at me. I looked at him for what seemed like ten years before it hit me. "Eren face me, and don't move."

"But I kinda need to work."

"Um, no you don't. Stay still."

"Are you going to draw me?"

"Not you, just your eyes."

"How romantic." He giggled.

"Oh thanks, I try to be." I grabbed a pencil and sketched out lightly the outline of his eyes, and I've been close enough to his face to know exactly how everything looked like, but I just wanted him to sit there and look cute for me. It gave him an excuse to not do anything this class. I had fun drawing, actually.

"You haven't looked at me once." Eren crossed his arms.

"That's because I don't actually need you to model anything."

"So I'm wasting my time?"

"Oh no darling, you're there for me."

Eren smiled. "I want kisses."

"No, stay there."

"Okay I will, but kiss me."

I sighed and then beckoned him. He chuckled and sat on my lap. He tilted my chin up and leaned forward to kiss me. He was warm and soft. I moved. "Okay, I need to get working."

"But I love kissing you. You feel so nice."

"I'm sure I do. But, baby, please."

Eren smiled and kissed me lightly once more. "I wanna see you draw."

That made me feel nervous, but I picked up my pencil anyway. I looked at him and he looked at me expectantly. I shrugged and darkened the outlines. Every crease, every shadow in the right place. The only thing I had to keep looking at was how many eyelashes he had. "You have way too many."

"I'm sorry I was born this way." Eren giggled. I chuckled and poked Eren in the chest. "Stop that." He playfully smacked my hand away. I nuzzled his nose. He smiled and wrapped his hands around my neck and kissed me lightly.

"That's really good actually." Krista commented as she walked by. "You should be an artist."

"No, I don't have the patience. It's only because Eren's eyes are what I'm drawing is the reason why I'm going to do this."

"Cute." Krista smiled. "Now, I must get to my seat. Do you need any paint?"

"I'm gonna use the water colors."

"Oh okay." Krista reached for them and handed me several of the paint pallets. I thanked her, though I wasn't going to use them today. Coloring, what the last thing I was going to do and this was most definitely going to take awhile. By the time the bell rang I was disappointed because I only got the outline done. I sighed and groaned. Eren covered my eyes. "No you don't. Do not start stressing over this as well. Come my lovely, we need to go."

I groaned and slipped out of my chair. Eren sighed. "Oh don't be like that, it's going to end up beautiful. We only had an hour of this class anyway, it's not your fault." I pouted, which only got me a hug. "I love how you got so into this. You look so hot when you concentrate."

I pursed my lips at him. "Don't flatter me, I'm trying to be upset here."

"You're cute and beautiful and so so sexy-"

"Eren, please."

Eren clung to my neck and kissed the side of my face several times. "My lovely, lovely boyfriend." Then he stopped and picked my up. He put me on his hip. "You know, you're kinda heavy."

"Then put me down."

"No." He said. I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder and pressed my forehead on his neck. "You smell like cologne."

"I wore it this morning."

I smirked and sucked on his neck. Eren froze immediately, dropped me, and pressed me up against the lockers. "Do not do that."

I felt my face burn up. "I'm sorry, but you are simply delicious."

"Like I've said to you two before, don't start initiating gay sex, this is a place for learning. Have some decency." Jean tsked as he walked by us. I giggled and hung around his neck. Eren growled in his throat and looked down at me. He bit down on my lip. I moaned and melted inside. Pulling away from him, I picked up the book bag that had dropped when I was pressed against the lockers. I took Eren by the hand. "Let's just get home, we are never going to get out of here if we keep... getting sidetracked."

"I'm a sidetrack? Hm." Eren chuckled.

"Well yes. And quite a distraction as well." I pulled him all the way to the car. "Now drive us home, Petra is waiting."

"Yeah, don't mind me, I'm just here patiently waiting here." She ran her hand on the top of the car.

Eren smiled and opened the door for me and then for Petra. We got home and I went straight upstairs to my room. I pulled out the speech draft and looked at it. I sat on my bed. "This is pathetic." I told myself. I took a pencil.

'Most of us have our own stories about how their own high school life went.'

I slowly thought about what else I should write. Inspirational, the senior speech.

'Mine in particular had some changes that a lot of people contributed to. I mean I've giving the goddamn speech for crying out loud.'

I chuckled, and smiled.

'Then again I was forced too. Like many other things.'

"Thank you, Ymir." I stretched out my arms and smiled. "That's enough for today." I lied down and looked at my ceiling. After staring at it for a long time I called Hanji. "Hey you got any black paint?"

"You know, I'm not sure, why."

"I wanna paint my ceiling."

"Are you gonna do a space thing?"

"Yeah."

"Then, I'll be right over, I know what colors you might have in mind."

"Alright bye." And I hung up. I went downstairs and unlocked the door for her and then went back upstairs. I entered the Eren's room. "Can you help me?"

"Yes baby, with what?" He put his camera down and stood up.

"I need help putting tape on the wall. I would do it, but when it comes to things like this I have shaky hands."

"Okay, show me where you want it and I'll do it."

"I'm also going to need to sleep in your room until my project is done."

Eren smiled. "I have absolutely no problem with that."

I got the ladder from the closet next to the bathroom and pulled it into my room. "All around the edge of the ceiling. Can you be exactly along the edge?"

"If my Levi wants it like that then that is how it will be." Eren kissed my head and got up on the ladder. "Please be careful." I told him.

"Don't worry." Eren grabbed the tape and started running it along the side. It didn't take him as long as it took Hanji to get here with the paint, which was in fact a while. When Eren was done, (Hanji still wasn't here) he dropped down on my bed. "Phew! Finally done."

I smiled and crawled on top of him. "Thank you." I gave him a big kiss. "I love you." Then I got off him. "Now, I need to start taking apart my bed frame."

"Do you want help with that?"

"Well, the only thing I need you to do is put my dresser in the closet. Be careful of the things on top."

Eren walked over and stopped. "This is so cute!" Eren squealed and sat down on the floor with a folder and the picture frame I had on the dresser. "You are so tiny!"

"Oh," I glanced at it and went back to what I was doing. "That was sixth grade."

"So cute!"

I shrugged and pulled the covers off my bed and piled them up to the side. Then I pushed the mattress off and stood it against the wall. "Is this Ymir?"

"Yep. Hey, you can even look at more pictures of my youth if you do what I asked you to do." That got Eren to do it quickly. He pulled it into my closet and carefully set it in the middle. He closed the door and sat down next to me. "Pictures please."

I sighed and handed him a very big album that Ms. Brzenska pit together since kindergarten. She finished the first day of sixth grade. She started another album when sixth grade started and I'm guessing she's almost done with it. Eren cleared his throat. "I might die, okay."

I purses my lips. "Just beware that the camera loved me when I was younger."

"They made this for every student?"

"Just Ms. Brzenska's homeroom. They're weren't that many of us anyway. The seniors now were the ones that were with her back then.

"First Day," Eren said out loud. "Aww! So cute! You had such a cute wittle face!" Then Petra decided to stop by my room. "What's up, males who live in my house?"

"Look at how cute he is!"

"So you let Eren look through it but when it came to me it was a no? Rude." Petra sat down next to Eren. "Look at the chubbiness."

I turned to look behind my shoulder and they were both staring at me. I puffed my cheeks out causing them to laugh. I turned back and continued working on unscrewing the bed frame.

"Such a happy little child." Petra chuckled.

Hanji burst in. "I am here!"

"Help me take this apart. Guys, I'm kicking you out. You may take that with you just don't ruin it."

Eren and Petra walked out and Hanji and I took the last parts of the bed frame apart. We put them aside and I took out the plastic that it was originally covered in and put it over it. "Now, I have paintbrushes and a spray can."

"We can use both so that the colors blend nicely."

"Alright so here are the colors I picked out for you." There was black, dark blue, dark and light purple, white, gray, and light caramel. "Okay, let's start with black."

"Just so you know, we can't finish today, alright? So don't get upset because you see no progress." Hanji smiled and poked my forehead. I nodded. We filled the spray cans with black paint and Hanji put a mouth mask on me and protective glasses as she did to herself. With the extra ladder that we had in storage, Hanji and I both started to spray from opposite sides of the room. Hanji was smart to bring a lot of paint because we have to refill the cans several times. But we ended up using almost all of the black paint. We started at six-thirty, we finished spray painting the first color at eighty forty-two.

"You wanna keep going or do you wanna pick this up tomorrow?"

"Do we have anything important tomorrow?"

"An English Test."

"Let's continue." I closed the black paint can and opened the dark blue. "For this one I want to spray and then I'll take this paintbrush and I'll mix them."

Hanji nodded and picked up a brush. We started again and didn't stop (actually a few water and snack breaks were put in between) until Petra came in. "Guys, it's late. You need to go to bed, even Eren is already sleeping."

"What time is it?"

"It's almost twelve."

I looked at the ceiling. We were halfway done. "But I'm not tired." I looked at Hanji. "Are you?" She shook her head. "We aren't tired."

"Please Levi." Petra yawned.

I sighed. "Fine." I got down from the ladder and saw Hanji out after we closed everything up. When she left, I took a shower to make sure I was free from any paint that might have fallen down and soon enough I was climbing into bed. I leaned over and kissed Eren lightly before lying down.

Eren groaned. "Finally, it's been years." He scooted closer to me.

"I thought you were sleeping."

"You woke me up." Eren yawned and buried his face in my neck. I ran my hand through the hair on the back of his head. "Sorry," I kissed his head.

"Mm, go to sleep now. I'm tired."

I chuckled. "Alright, alright."

Eren sighed happily and kissed my jaw softly before returning to his position and falling asleep.
