Sorry I didn't upload this weekend. Things got crazy and I had been writing a chapter whenever I found like 10 or 15 minutes to write but it was pretty choppy and I didn't like it. And I'm not about to post something I'm not happy with. So here is the chapter!
A couple hours later Levi was sitting with Hange, Erwin and their client Pixis in Pixis' home. He lived in a mansion, so there was plenty of room to work. Apparently the guy Pixis fought in the bar was the CEO of his competitor's company, so the quarrel just caused for other tedious accusations and legal issues.
Levi found it all dull, he wanted nothing more than to get back to the hotel room and spend some time with Eren, he couldn't get enough of him.
There was a knock at the door and Eren stuck his head into the room, "Levi, I have the papers you wanted fax,"
"Yes, thank you, Eren," Eren stepped into the room and walked over to Levi, handing him the papers, he gave Levi a smile before he turned around to leave.
Levi noticed Pixis kept staring at Eren, he didn't like that, at all. Every time Eren had entered the room, Pixis would look at him, finding any way to engage Eren in a conversation. Anyone else would just see it as small talk, but Levi got the feeling that Pixis wanted Eren.
As Eren was reaching the door, Levi could have sworn Pixis purposely knocked the papers next to him on the floor.
"Oh!" Pixis exclaimed, getting Eren's attention. Pixis made the notion of bending in his chair to pick them up when Eren rushed to his side, "I'll get that, sir."
Pixis sat back in his chair, "thank you, Eren," Eren bent down, and Pixis didn't even try to hide the fact that he was staring. He even bit his lip a little.
Levi got the feeling he felt when he saw Eren with Farlan again. He felt a rage building up inside him. It took all he had to not jump across the desk and attack Pixis. But Levi had some self control so he took a long deep breath before speaking.
"Pixis,"
"Yes, Levi?" Pixis said, not bothering to look away from Eren.
"Will you stop staring at my assistant," it sounded close to a growl and at his words Eren stiffened and stood up quickly, placing the papers next to Pixis and hurrying out the room, a noticeable blush across his cheeks.
Levi couldn't stop thinking about the incident for the rest of the meeting. Did Eren like the attention he received from Pixis? Is that why he was blushing? Levi felt the anger coursing through him, Erwin must have noticed because at some point he placed his hand on Levi's shoulder and gave him a little squeeze.
Levi tried to push the thought to the back of his head but every time he looked at Pixis he would get pissed off again. After a while he avoided looking at him, he knew it was childish, but it was the only way he could calm himself.
Levi was the first one out the door when the meeting was over.
"Lev-" Eren was cut off when Levi walked right past him, without even so much as glancing at him. Eren frowned but gathered all his things and followed Levi. At first he couldn't see Levi, but he rounded the corner and saw him leaning against the side of the building. His head thrown back and his thumb and index fingers pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Levi?" Eren asked quietly, approaching Levi
"What?" Eren flinched at the coldness of his words.
"Is everything alright?"
"I don't know, you tell me," Levi still wasn't looking at him so it was hard for Eren to read his face.
"I don't understand,"
Levi let out an exasperated sigh, "It's nothing, let's go back to the hotel," Levi started for the main street to get a cab.
He didn't want to fight with Eren, he just wanted to forget about Pixis. He realized Eren wasn't behind him and turned around, "what?"
Eren had been looking at his phone, he looked up, "the others were going to get dinner and asked if we wanted to go, too,"
Levi though for a second, "will Pixis be there?"
"I would imagine so,"
Levi had flagged down a taxi, "I don't want to, you go," he opened the door to the taxi, expecting Eren to follow him inside but Eren stood standing where he was.
Eren was considering going, he didn't really want to he around Pixis, he made him feel uncomfortable, but the others would be there and Levi looked mad. Maybe he's just cranky because he didn't get enough sleep. Eren contemplated his options.
Levi had already sat down inside the taxi, for a second he thought Eren was going to get inside when he saw him walk towards him. But Eren simply leaned down and pecked his cheeks, and gave him a smile, "I'll see you back at the hotel, get some sleep," he closed the door of the taxi and went back to the building.
Levi was fuming the entire ride to the hotel.
When he got there he stalked his way to his room and locked himself in the bedroom, just in case Eren came home early, he didn't exactly want to be around him. But it was hard, Eren hadn't done anything but blush, so why was Levi was so angry? He couldn't decide if he was mad at himself, or Eren, or maybe even Pixis. He threw himself back onto the bed, frustrated.
He yawned audibly, some tears formed at the edges of his ears, which he wiped away as he rolled around the bed until he was under the blanket. He was still kind of upset, but every time he closed his eyes, all he saw were Eren's bright green eyes.
I can't get enough of jealous Levi!
