Eren
Eren tilted his head upon hearing his name, feeling Levi tense up beside him.
"Yes, that's my name…?"
"Krista, right?" Levi asked.
"Yup! That's me! Last time we meet I was with my girlfriend, Ymir…" She trailed off uncertainly and her voice finally clicked inside Eren's head. She was there when his father came for him. He felt Levi squeeze his hand. Eren shook his head to clear it and put on a smile.
"Ah, I remember now. Thanks for all your help. How-" Eren was cut off by Levi clearing his throat. He shot a confused face in hopefully the right direction towards Levi as Krista gasped.
"Right! Welcome to the Rose Diner, I will be your waitress for the afternoon. Please follow me over here to your table." Krista chattered in a polite voice. Eren frowned.
They sat across from each other at the table and Krista left them with the menus.
"Levi…"
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Did you scare her off?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Eren shook his head with a chuckle, lightly kicking Levi under the table.
"No need to. She seems really nice." He heard Levi grumbling under his breath and let a sly grin settle over his face for a brief moment. He casually leaned back and folded his hands on the table. "Maybe I should invite her to dinner this weekend…" He mused. Soon enough he felt warm hands over his own that pulled them apart and were interlaced with Levi's fingers.
"Are you trying to make me jealous?" Levi saw straight through him.
"I don't know, is it working?"
"No."
"Then no, I am not trying to make you jealous."
"She has a girlfriend you know." Levi added a bit sarcastically.
"Let's invite her too then."
Eren heard Levi huff and he smiled and ran his thumbs over the back of Levi's hands, feeling the smooth skin.
"Care to read me the menu?" Eren asked.
"Nope."
Eren blinked in surprise, angling his face towards Levi's and making a pouty face. Levi laughed silently and pulled his hands further across the table.
"I'll order you something, brat."
"What if I don't like it?"
"You'll like it."
"But how do you know?"
Levi didn't reply but instead brought a hand upwards. A sharp bite to his knuckle had Eren gasping and yanking his hand back to his chest.
"Levi! What was that for?"
He just laughed and tapped the table. "Just trust me and have some fun once in a while. Give me your hand back."
"No." Eren pouted, clutching his free hand to his chest.
"Give me your hand and I'll kiss it better."
Eren felt a slight blush begin to form. He turned his head petulantly and shook his head 'no'. He heard Levi sigh along with the creak of worn out cushions. Eren frowned and tensed, trying to figure out what he was going to do. Suddenly, he felt a feather light brush of Levi's lips against his own. He froze in surprise, not noticing Levi grabbing his hand and pulling it back across the table with him as he sat back down. Eren was fairly sure his face was a full blown tomato at this point.
"Now I know how to make you quiet." Levi said coyly, bring Eren's injured hand up to his lips.
Eren ducked his head, "Shut up." He said with no real bite to it. He felt Levi smile against his hand. He relaxed and smiled back.
Levi released his hands to pick up the menus and a few seconds later he heard Krista's cheery voice.
"Have you two decided what you would like?"
"Yes we have." Levi replied. Eren heard some shuffling and the sound of a menu opening. "I would like the number fifteen and Eren will take this one." Eren pouted once more over at Levi.
"Sure thing! I'll get these to you as soon as possible."
"Thanks, Krista." Eren managed to say before she left. Levi grabbed his hands again. "You're not going to tell me what you ordered, are you?"
"That would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?"
Eren kicked him under the table again. "I can have fun you know."
"Oh? How so?"
Eren paused. How did he have fun? He smiled softly, lowering his head a bit. "I have fun with you." There was a brief silence across from him and Eren fidgeted.
"Good." Levi replied fondly. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
The two fell into a comfortable silence and separated their hands when the food arrived.
"So, you going to tell me now or I am I going to be sticking my hands into something gross?"
"It's the best sandwich in existence."
Eren raised an eyebrow but said nothing, choosing to pick up the sandwich and take a bite. Flavors exploded across his tongue in a massive array of different ingredients. He sat there trying to figure out what on earth they put in it to make such a delicious combo. He must have sat there too long because Levi kicked his shin, and hard. Eren jerked in surpise.
"Pretty good, huh?" Levi asked, sounded pretty damn satisfied with himself. Eren stuck out his tongue and took another bite. "I told you would like it."
Eren swallowed his bite, "Shut up." Levi merely chuckled as Eren enjoyed every bite he took of the sandwich.
When they finished, Eren was still sitting there thinking over it. It frustrated him a bit but in the end he opted to ignore the natural urge to find out how to make it and instead just enjoy it. Not a position he was in often. Eren stretched his hands out and Levi obliged him by grabbing them with his own.
"Thank you." Before Levi could reply, Krista bounced up to the table again.
"Did you enjoy everything?"
Eren smiled over at her. "Yes, very much. Please give my compliments to the chef, the sandwich was amazing." He heard Krista giggle.
"I will, it is a favorite here." Something was set down on the table. "Here is your check! Enjoy the rest of your day."
"Hey, Krista!" Eren called out before she left, suddenly remembering what he told Levi.
"Yes?"
"My friends and I host a sort of dinner every weekend and invite a bunch of people over. Would you and your girlfriend like to come?"
"Sure!" She replied enthusiastically, "I've been trying to get Ymir to meet new people anyhow. When and where?"
Eren gave her the details and Levi remained silent. They held hands after they paid and left.
"I can't believe you actually invited her." He sounded genuinely surprised but not angry, which was very good. Eren smiled and nudged his shoulder.
"Have some fun once in a while, Levi."
Levi huffed and elbowed him in the ribs.
"Owwwwwwwwwww, Leeeviiii!"
"Want me to kiss it better?" Deft fingers grabbed at the hem of his shirt. Eren shrieked and backed away into a wall, a laughing Levi following him.
They were chest to chest; Eren could feel Levi's breath on his face. He wrapped his arms around Levi's neck and wove his fingers through his undercut. Levi got the hint and closed the short distance between them to press their lips together. Levi's lips were warm compared to Eren's chapped ones, but neither minded.
Levi nipped his bottom lip and pulled away reluctantly. He grabbed Eren's hand and tugged him down the sidewalk.
"Come on, brat."
