Special: Eren's 'Levi heichou Diary'!

XX DAY OO MONTH

Once more, I pissed heichou off. It was a good thing I had Armin and Mikasa follow me to visit mom's grave in the day, or I wouldn't have been able to come out with any excuse last night. I don't think he believed me wholly, but it was worth the shot. I got really lonely afterword when I thought of how I'm separated from everyone… But thanks to that, I got to live with heichou. Furthermore to sleep with him last night. It was so embarrassing!

No no no wait! Cancel that! If heichou saw that, I'd be in deep trouble!

I hope I don't have to keep it from him any longer. After all, I'm short on time… so…

I'll just have to master cooking before heichou's birthday!


It has already been a week. A week since that happened, and for every following day, Eren had gone even earlier than the day before. The worst thing is, he comes back so late, Levi has already gone to bed so he has no chance to ask where he went in the day.

And today… he was gone by the time Levi had woken up, which was actually 5am, before the Sun even rose. It was unexpected. Levi never once woke up at a timing that he wasn't accustomed too.

Seriously… just how much does that fucking brat want to keep messing with me? Being gone for so long… he's probably found someone else, huh? Well, that's convenient for me too. I can't waste all my time and energy worrying over a kid, after all. Especially one that confessed and ran away.

Just like this, the two of them did not manage to speak to each other at all… then Levi's birthday came.

"…?" when he woke up that morning, Eren was sleeping beside him. In fact, he was clinging onto him. By natural reflex, Levi kicked him off the bed. Inside his mind, a thousand 'whys' were flashing and before he knew it, he was giddy from working his mind too much. Eren, whom was used to this treatment, slept on peacefully.

For the first time since Eren started his Outdoor Trips, Levi realised he smelled sweet. Too sweet. The smell was so strong he felt like puking. Where the hell has this shitty brat been going?

Not feeling glad about the fact that Eren was snoring away when he's been overthinking the whole time, Levi jumped onto Eren. "AFSRGTHYJL!?" his eyes were forced open as his face twisted with pain. Thanks to Levi's small figure, however, the pain was minimized, which was something Eren should really be thankful of. "H-heichou!? What time is it…?" when he looked outside and saw that the sky was bright, he jumped up and begun pacing around the room in a panic. "Oh my gosh it's already this late!? Preparations… preparations the preparations the preparations!"

Being unable to stand it after 5 seconds or so, Levi gave Eren a punch in the stomach, sending him onto his knees. "Shut up, Jaeger. Explain what's been happening for the past week, huh? And that disgustingly sweet smell on you. And what the fuck are the preparations you're talking about?" with each word he spoke, Eren seemed to squirm and shrank to the extent of being the size of… an ant?

Just as Levi prepared to deliver his finishing blow, Eren gulped and squeezed his eyes shut before daringly planting a kiss on his cheek, freezing him in place. It turned out that Levi was simply shivering with rage. Not willing to back down, Eren forcibly grabbed Levi's arm while it was still weak in shock, then entwined his fingers with his.

"Umm… happy birthday, heichou!" he blurted out without warning. Levi twitched in Eren's arms and seemed to completely freeze to ice. Being an unknowing kid, Eren didn't know what to do except to hold him closer in closer, hoping to warm him up.

Thanks to the silence, Levi had time to recover and the color returned to his face, which was soon replaced with an indescribable expression. At first, it seemed to twist in rage, then it went back to his normal expression, then he showed a hint that he was thinking of something, then he flushed. Right after that, he reverted to his first expression.

Literal translation: Levi wasn't happy.

"Since when did I have a birthday, huh?" he menacingly spoke in a low tone, which Eren now calls 'Oops-I-Have-To-Listen-Or-I'll-Die' tone (*Note this is so from his personal experience). "Where the shit did you hear this kind of useless information from? In the first place, what does this have to do with the past week? Huh?"

By now, Eren had learnt how to deal with Levi. He clutched the hand he was holding in his and blushed himself at this embarrassing act. But, it silenced Levi, so all was good. "Well… it was for this day. I… was learning to bake a cake for you, heichou. I want to celebrate this special day with you. I'm thankful you're born and that you're still here with me now…" he snuggled his face into Levi's soft hair. "… and the fact that we can do things like this now without having to worry that a titan will pop out any moment – …"

"…?" feeling something wasn't right, Levi pulled himself away from Eren. "Eren, what the fuck are you –" he paused when he saw tears dripping down the boy's face. "…!?"

"Oh, huh…? What…" Eren blinked in shock at his own abruptness. "No… ah, I didn't mean to…" he frantically tried to dry his tears, only to having more rolling down his cheeks.

Not saying a word, Levi pulled Eren's hand away from his own face and rubbed his tears away for him in a gentle manner. "… What's wrong?" he asked with an obvious look of worry. Eren sniffed and took deep breaths, hiccupping occasionally. Finally, he settled down and gave his answer:

"H-Heichou… p-please… please do it with meeeeeeee… I… I think… I may not have the chance to wait till I'm 18!"


Sudden twist of plot!? Eren's sudden proposal to Levi... Do you think Levi will accept it? What does Eren mean!? Is it just part of a birthday surprise, or is it...?
