"Jaeger! Wake up!" Levi yelled, while kicking the bed, where Eren still were asleep. The brunettes eyes flickered open, mumbling a bit while awakening.
"Mhmm.. what?" he said, sitting up in the bed and rubbing his eyes.
God, he looks like a child.
"What?" Eren asked again, trying to figure out what was thoughts and what was spoken words.
"Get up and get out of my bed, brat," Levi kicked the bed again, "You're going to train with the other soldiers today, and I will not let anyone see you leave my room, so get up."
Eren looked at the older man, trying to make out if he was serious or not. The grey orbs was cold and hard as always, and the owner of those cold grey eyes, was as calm and collected as always. Eren tried to find that bit of feelings in his face, that he had witnessed the night before, but found nothing.
When the teenager didn't react to his orders, Levi grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the bed, throwing his underwear, pants and ripped shirt after him.
"Take your clothes and get out." Levi snapped his fingers and pointed at the door.
"What the fuck did I do?" Eren yelled surprised, not understanding where the sudden harsh treatment came from. He stumbled back a little, sending the corporal a mistrustful look.
"You have training, Jaeger, and I will not let anyone see a subordinate leave my room in the morning. Don't think you get special treatment, just because I fucked you last night." Levi answered calmly.
We will both be in so much fucking trouble, if anyone finds out.
"Oh..." Eren said, finally understanding. He pulled his pants on, deciding to go commando when realising that his underwear had seen cleaner days after the previous night. Hiding them in his back-pocket, he pulled the ripped shirt over his shoulders and tried to look a bit descent. Levi was still keeping an eye on him while slowly getting dressed himself. Eren decided to kiss the older man gently on the cheek, hearing a barely audible gulp escape the other mans throat before he repeated lowly: "Get out."
Damn, he's adorable...
Turning his back to the raven-haired man, a wide smile spread across his face while heading for the door.
"Wow, Eren, you have really improved your skills," Hanji said. She was in charge of training the other soldiers, while Levi was taking the day off to recover fully. She was looking through his training papers, noticing an improvement on his speed and ability to use the 3D maneuver gear.
"Thank you, Hanji-san," Eren said, trying to catch his breath after running for half an hour. He bent down, resting his hands on his knees. The teenager was tired from the lack of sleep, but his late-night adventures with the corporal was a great motivation. He was still set on proving to the older male, that he was a fit partner. He wanted to be as good a soldier as Levi was, and thereby improving his skills. Training his ground-speed had been tough, due to his sore body and he praised himself lucky to have his regenerative ability. He had a feeling, that had his body not been healing fast, he would probably be unable to move at all. The teenager had had a bit trouble sitting down all day, and could only imagine how much worse it would have been if he was a normal human-being.
"So how's Corporal Levi?" Hanji asked, sending Eren a look he didn't know what to make of. He felt his face getting a little hotter, but hoped she wouldn't notice since it was probably still a bit red after the training.
"I think he's better. His wounds are almost healed," Eren answered, deciding to keep his cards close. Levi would be furious if he accidentally disclosed what had happened in the raven-haired mans room.
"So it worked? Oh my god, Eren, this is amazing! I'll go check up on him later, I have to do some tests. Do you think he will let me do some experiments? I would love to know how long the treatment will work. If I cut the wound open again, do you think it will heal up as fast again?" Hanjis eyes went wider and she got that manic look on her face again, as she spoke.
"Hanji-san, isn't it more important to improve the treatment so we can use it on the next expedition?" Eren asked, not really willing to answer any questions regarding the corporal.
"Well... I have to know if there are any side effects before I can do that," Hanji said, her face turning back to normal.
"Side effects?" Eren asked, eyes widening.
"Yes. You see, luckily the corporal didn't turn into some sort of human-sized titan, but there might be other side effects that we do not know of yet." Hanji looked at the teenager as his face turned a little pale. Eren hadn't realised that there was a chance of any side effects after the corporal woke up the previous day.
"Although it would be kinda cool... I mean, a human-sized titan would practically be like having a pet, and he would be much easier to handle than the real titans!" Hanji trailed off. Upon seeing Erens worried face, she placed a hand on his shoulder and said: "Maybe there are no side effects, Eren, don't worry about it. Just let me know if you remember any unusual behaviour from Corporal Levi, okay?"
Unusual behaviour. Oh, he had witnessed plenty! Anyway, it hadn't anything to do with the treatment, and he was not gonna say a single word.
"I promise, Hanji-san," Eren said, pulling on a happy face and sending her a bright smile. He ran off to train a bit more on his own, and to let Hanji pay the raven-haired man a visit. He decided for himself, that after Hanji had done her tests, he would visit the corporal himself and offer him to clean his room again. Hopefully he could let a word drop about his improvements and impress the other man. He had a feeling, that he would have to move fast to keep Levis attention.
"Corporal?" Eren knocked on Levis door, making sure no one was around to see him. He had taken it very seriously when the corporal had told him not to let anyone know about them. He had been hiding in the shadows in the dark hallway, waiting for Hanji to leave the raven-haired mans room before approaching the door.
"Enter," said the voice behind the door.
Eren opened the door and closed it silently after entering.
"What do you want, Jaeger?" Levi asked without looking at Eren. He sat by his desk, looking over some papers.
"I thought you might wanted me to clean your room again, sir," Eren said, closing the gab between them, hoping to get the older mans attention while placing himself next to him.
"Sure, you did a pretty decent job the last time," Levi answered, finally looking at the teen. Eren tried to find a bit of friendliness in his eyes, but was met with a bored look. After a silent moment of eye-contact between the two - Erens shining green and full of hope, searching for warmth in Levis grey - Levi lifted an eyebrow and said: "What? Do you need permission to start, or what?" as he broke the eye-contact, starting to read through his papers again.
Why the fuck do I have to read all that stupid womans research on that goddamn cure?
Eren was taken aback by the sarcastic words, but hoped that the corporal was just annoyed by his paperwork. He started cleaning the hardly dirty room, remembering how the corporal wanted it done.
A couple of minutes passed in silence. Eren was standing on a chair, cleaning the top of the raven-haired males cabinet, where he kept his clothes and uniforms. The brunette had to hold back a giggle every now and then, while listening to Levis thoughts on Hanjis research.
Christ, I was hoping she would be getting to the point by now. What page is this? 24!? This is not a report, this is a fucking diary!
"So, ehh..." Eren started, interrupting the shorter mans train of thoughts, "Hanji-san told me that I've improved my skills"
"Is that so?" Levi said bored, not really listening to the teen.
"She told me I was getting faster and getting better at using the maneuver gear," Eren continued, hoping to catch the corporals attention.
"Good for you," Levi answered, still looking through the papers.
Eren was getting annoyed by the lack of recognition. How much would it take to actually make this man interested? He tried to approach the raven-haired differently.
"How did Hanji-sans tests on you go?" he asked, not letting his annoyance show.
For fuck sake!
"Did you come here to clean or chat?" Levi snapped, smacking the papers down on the desk with a loud smack as he turned around in the chair, facing Eren.
Eren sent him a puzzled look, and decided to be honest. He jumped down from the chair, taking a few steps closer to the corporal.
"I... I actually came here to talk..." he started, rubbing his neck nervously.
"I don't have time for chit-chat, I'm working," Levi sneered.
What the fuck does he want? A pat on the head, just because he's doing his job?
Eren could feel the annoyance slowly evolving to anger. After their night together, the corporal could show just a little interest in his doings. He knew about the teenagers feeling towards him, he obviously had something similar since he thought Eren was cute and adorable, and after their escapades last night, there was something there. There had to be!
"I'm trying to do a good job here!" Eren exclaimed, his voice raising a bit.
"You're trying to do a good job?" Levi mimicked, keeping his calm, "No, you're doing nothing more than your job. This is the Survey Corps, brat. You are not here to be a soldier, you are here to be the best soldier you can possibly be. That is our job. That is your job!" Levi stood up, eyeing the teenager.
"But that doesn't mean I have to be perfect at cleaning, or watch over you when you get hurt in battle, or... or make you loose your fucking senses and let you fuck me all night!" Eren yelled, anger boiling in his head. He had got to be kidding, this was so not fair. He didn't ask for special treatment, he just wanted to be acknowledged. He just wanted the older male to realize that he obviously had some feeling for the teenager, and give him a chance.
"I never asked you to!" Levi raised his voice. His grey eyes was getting harder and darker.
"I'm actually trying to prove myself here!" Eren yelled back, not letting the corporal say another word before he had said what he wanted to say, "I'm trying to improve on every single matter, I want to impress you! I try to think before I speak, and I obviously have experience in both fighting titans and making you moan all night!"
"Shut your filthy mouth, brat!" Levi cut him off, letting his anger show. His eyes narrowed as he continued. "How dare you talk to me like that? Don't forget your place, Jaeger!"
You are a fucking stupid teenager, you know jack about love. You are nothing but hormones and stupidity.
Erens eyes widened by Levis thoughts. His mouth gabbed open, trying to process the corporals unspoken words. He searched the older mans face, hoping to find a sign of what he had just heard wasn't true. When he didn't find anything, the anger exploded in his head and his heart broke all over again.
"I can't believe this!" he shouted, kicking the chair he had used to reach the top of the cabinet, so hard he sent it flying towards the other end of the room, "You still don't believe me! You don't believe that I love you!" he screamed, tears forming in his eyes, as he ran out of the room, out of the dark hallway, and out of the headquarters.
A/N: Aww, poor Eren, heartbroken again. Am I too tough on him?
I'm sorry for the long chapter. The first chapters were so short, and now I just can't stop! Help me stop!
Thank you for the kind reviews on chapter 10, you guys are so amazing and I love every single one of you. I don't think I will ever be able to express how much it means to me when you review my story, it's the best feeling ever! My day gets so much better everytime I receive a new review. Please, keep 'em coming, they are my best motivation! I don't care what you write, just let me know. I live, breathe and write for you guys, so please let me know what you think! Hugs to everyone who leaved reviews!
Chapter 12 might be the last chapter, unless I go berserk again, but I am slowly wrapping this story up. I have a few ideas for future fanfictions, so if you like this one, I hope you will give my future work a chance as well.
I will be writing a side story to this, and I'm thinking of making it a "what if"-scenario story, each chapter having a specific "what if", like "what if Eren can read everybodys thoughts" and maybe a "what if Levi can read Erens mind". I hope you will give it a try ^^
I'm off to watch the last episode of Free now, hopefully Rin will be happy again!
Did I mention you guys are awesome? You are!
