Author note: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin nor its characters.

Okay. First and foremost, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE LOVELY REVIEWS. I can't ever emphasize enough how much I love all you for being so freakin' awesome.

Second, this chapter is hella long. Like twice as long as my normal chapters, it's basically like two chapters in one, lol.

Third, I wrote most of this today because I wanted to get it done before Christmas was over as like a present to you guys for being so awesome. Right now, it's still Christmas where I am, but if it's already over for you, I'm sorry I was so late and I hope you still like it!

Enjoy~

Eren stopped from pinching himself after he woke up in the morning. He still couldn't believe he was dating Levi, despite two weeks having passed. It was surreal and he was just waiting to wake up from a coma or something else equally plausible. The past two weeks have been a trial of sorts. Even though Levi had finally accepted him, they had a lot of things they had to work out. First and foremost were the rules that needed to be set in order for everything to sail smoothly. Eren could recall the conversation as if it was happening right at this moment.

"Okay, before we do anything. Rules. We need a set of rules," Levi drummed his fingers against his steering wheel as he addressed Eren, "First of all, we are not having sex until you are 18. No matter how much you tempt me."

Eren grimaced and made a move to object, but Levi held up his right hand to silence him, "No. I'm sorry, Eren, but if we're doing this we need to be careful. And don't look at me like that, it's not like you're the only one suffering. It's only 3 months away, we can wait."

Eren slouched into his seat, but realized he was acting like a little kid who wasn't getting his way. So he straightened his posture and nodded his head, even though Levi couldn't see it.

"Yeah, I understand. What other rules do we need?"

Levi glanced over at him, before going back to paying attention to the road, "You can't skip classes constantly just to see me. If you're really sick, then that's fine. But you need to focus on school, so that you're not repeating a year. That's rule number two. Number three, you cannot tell anyone about us. I don't care if they are your dying relative, don't tell a soul. The less people who know, the better. That being said, I'm going to warn you that Erwin is probably going to figure it out."

Eren's confusion must have been written all over his face, because as soon as Levi looked over at him the older male let out a sigh before Eren could say anything.

"Why would Principal Smith figure it out?"

The look of praise Levi gave him went straight to his cock and Eren had to glance away so that he didn't have to get out of the car sporting a full erection. Though the way Levi practically purred kind of defeated that purpose, "Look at you. Sharp as a tack when you want to be. I didn't think you paid enough attention in school to pick up his first name."

Eren shrugged his shoulders and continued to stare out the window to avoid any side glances Levi might give him, "That doesn't answer my question, though. Why would he figure it out?"

He took a chance to glance over at Levi and saw the older male biting at his lower lip in concentration. Eren didn't know if it was because Levi was trying to tiptoe around the subject or because he was concentrating on the road, so he just waited patiently for a response.

"We have been best friends since high school. He knows me very well and it's hard to get anything past him."

A strange tightening in Eren's chest made him frown. The fact that he was getting jealous because Principal Smith-no, Erwin, knew Levi so well unnerved him. He didn't know why he thought that he had any right to be jealous. They had been friends for a long time and Levi obviously trusted the other man. Plus, Eren had just won Levi over only a few hours ago. It wasn't his place to be feeling this insecure and jealous.

Levi must have saw the emotions running across his face or maybe the fact that he was frowning gave it away, because he chuckled quietly, "Calm down, Eren. He's very much straight and happily taken."

Just like that, the breath rushed out of Eren's mouth before he even realized he was holding it. He silently beat himself up for being so childish right off the bat. Now that everything was cleared up, Eren began to chew at his own lip as anxiety set in.

"Will he do anything if he finds out? I mean, he is my principal and this relationship isn't exactly allowed."

Levi started to drum his fingers against the steering wheel again and Eren began to wonder if this was a nervous habit of his whenever he wasn't sure about something. They were pulling into Eren's apartment complex before Levi started to talk again.

"Honestly, I don't know."

Eren frowned at Levi's answer and folded his hands in his lap as he thought about everything that has been said so far, "…So, are there anymore rules?"

Levi had parked the car in front of Eren's apartment and tilted his head back to stare at the ceiling of the car, "Yeah, I can't pick you up for school or drop you off afterwards."

This time Eren pouted, because he enjoyed the car rides. It was the only place that they could really talk freely and not have to worry about anyone walking in on them. Levi must've seen the pout, because a hand came to gently grab his jaw. It was just like this morning when Levi made Eren look at him and the subtle amount of control Levi would use caused a shiver of excitement run down Eren's spine.

"Hey, no pouting. I can do it here and there, but it'll be rare. Someone already saw me with you in the car the first time I took you home and called Erwin about it. So, we've got to be careful that it's not too frequent. I've already been taking a huge risk lately."

Eren grew even more worried at this new piece of information. Someone already saw them together? What if someone sees them again and it causes Levi to get in trouble? Why was Levi agreeing to this when there was so much risk to it? Eren is just a brat, why would Levi go to this extent that he's willing to risk his job?

Once again Levi must've seen the anxiety and panic rising up in Eren, because he leaned over to bring their faces together, their forehead touching and their breath mingling.

"Hey, calm down. You're not thinking of backing out now, are you? You came barging into my office, demanding answers and breaking my resolve. Don't think you can just back out now because you're scared about something trivial, like me losing my job. I've already accepted that it might happen and that's a risk I'm willing to take."

Eren looked away from Levi's intense stare as best he could with their faces so close together, "Why would you willingly lose your job for me?"

Levi's grip on his face tightened, "Oi, look at me, brat. Who says I'm going to lose my job? Yeah, there's a risk, but we're not going to let it happen. So, stop panicking. Yeah?"

Eren nodded his head as best as he could and was rewarded with a tiny smile from the usually expressionless male. Levi purred a "good" before giving Eren a light kiss and releasing his jaw. Eren went to try to deepen the kiss, but Levi leaned back and chuckled.

"Slow down, tiger. We're in the parking lot in front of your apartment. Not exactly the best place to start making out if we don't want to get caught."

Eren groaned in frustration and rubbed a hand over his face, which only made Levi chuckle some more. Eren decided he really liked the sound, even if it was at his expense usually. It was deep and quiet, a soft vibration of sound that warmed his heart in ways that he didn't think possible.

"Hey, Eren, give me your phone."

Eren looked at him confused and wrestled his phone out of his pocket to hand it over. Levi snatched it up and started typing something into it, "Here's my number, text or call me. Whichever. We won't be able to talk or see each other as much during school, so this should do until the weekends."

When Levi went to hand Eren the phone back, Eren grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a kiss. It was more heated than the one Levi had given him earlier and Eren swiped his tongue across Levi's lips trying to gain entrance, but Levi pulled away with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"What'd I say about making out in the parking lot? Get out of here and get in that apartment, you're wasting my gas."

Eren would've been slightly upset about how quickly Levi was kicking him out, but the small smirk and teasing tone in the older male's voice made Eren grin. He stole one more kiss before unwillingly leaving the comfort of his boyfriend's car.

Eren grinned at the memory and stretched in his bed with a satisfied groan.

My boyfriend. I don't think I'll ever get used to saying that.

Eren's mood improved even more, if that was possible, when he remembered that today was the last day of school before Christmas break. This meant they could see each other whenever they wanted to and if that didn't brighten Eren's mood considerably then he didn't know what would. He hurriedly got ready and dashed out the door before Mikasa was even out of the shower.

He arrived at the school way before the majority of the student population. Today was only a half day, so he wanted to see Levi before the end of school because he wasn't sure when they could see each other again. Eren had figured out that Levi always arrived at school way too early, so he had been trying to get up early each day just to see him. Most days he did pretty well, but sometimes he was just too tired to even get out of bed that early in the morning. Those days he usually beat himself up when he did eventually wake up and he would apologize to Levi, who in turn laughed at him for being ridiculous. According to Levi, teenagers need a lot of sleep so he didn't blame Eren for sleeping in.

"Le-vi."

His boyfriend was leaning over the desk, trying to sort papers when Eren came in. At the sound of his voice, Levi turned around with a small smile, "Hey, brat. You're pretty chipper for this time of day."

Eren grinned and wrapped his arms around Levi's waist, pulling him into a tight embrace. He pressed his nose into Levi's hair in a sort of affectionate nuzzle and got a good whiff of his shampoo, it should be illegal how good this man smells.

"Oi, what are you a dog? Stop sniffing me."

Eren was glad Levi couldn't see his face and how red it got from being caught in the act. He squeezed a little, before stepping back and giving Levi a sheepish grin.

"So, what are you doing today? Can we see each other after school lets out?"

Eren was hopeful that they could start spending more time together as soon as possible, but he frowned when Levi gave him an apologetic smile, "I can't. I've got some end of the year stuff to do."

Eren nodded his head in understanding, it's not like they didn't have three weeks to spend time together. Despite understanding that Levi's job comes first, he let out a little sigh and smiled at Levi. The other male was dressed as sharp as ever. This time he was wearing a plain white button up shirt under his lab coat. Eren couldn't wait to see him in something casual, even though he was pretty sure Levi would look great in just about anything.

Eren on the other hand was as fashionable as a pig. He mostly dressed in band tees that he found at Goodwill or just plain shirts, along with jeans that were usually a little too big on him. He didn't mind his lack of fashion sense, because they were poor and he wouldn't want to waste money on name brand clothing.

"Hey, Eren, what are you doing for Christmas?"

The question brought Eren out of his thoughts and he gave Levi a surprised look, "Uh, Armin's granddad always invites me and Mikasa over for Christmas. They're like a second family. Why?"

Levi looked away from him and ran his index finger around in circles on the surface of the desk, "Would you want to come see me afterwards?"

A grin spread slowly across Eren's lips and he was sure his eyes were sparkling with amusement, "Why wouldn't I? It's your birthday after all, on top of Christmas."

Levi's head snapped to look at him and Eren had to suppress a laugh at the startled expression.

"How did you know it was my birthday? I don't remember telling you."

Eren chuckled, putting his hands behind his back, and looking everywhere but at Levi, "Oooh. I don't know. I might have seen your driver's license and I might have seen your birthday on it."

"You little shit."

Eren looked at Levi to see if he was mad, but he was surprised at the small smile that was on the older male's face. "So, what are we going to do on your birthday?"

"You'll just have to find out and I'm not telling you, because you're a sneaky little shit."

Christmas day came and they were spending most of the day at Armin's house. His grandpa treated Eren and Mikasa as if they were his own grandkids and their house was like a second home to Eren. They exchanged gifts early in the morning. Eren couldn't give anyone any presents, because he didn't have a job. It really brought him down and made him want to beg Mikasa to let him work too. No matter what he said, she was firm on her decision to not let him get a job until after high school though.

Now they were enjoying some food. A turkey, some ham, stuffing, corn, and cheesecake for dessert. Eren usually dug into the food and didn't hold back, because he wasn't one to waste food. However, Levi texted him this morning after Eren wished him a happy birthday and told Eren to save his appetite for tonight. So, Eren was eating lightly, much to everyone's surprise.

"Say, Eren, are you going on a diet?" Armin raised an eyebrow at his plate that was barely half full.

"No, just saving my appetite."

At that response, Mikasa gave him a sharp look, "Why?"

Eren gave Mikasa an apologetic smile and shoveled some stuffing into his mouth to give him a few seconds to figure out how to tell her that he was going out without making her worry.

"I promised a friend I would hang out tonight. Is that okay?"

Mikasa blushed and let out a sigh, "Yeah, that's perfect actually. I forgot to tell you that Annie invited me out tonight, so you don't have to worry about leaving me behind."

Armin clapped his hands together and gave them all a big smile, "That's great! We've all got dates tonight, so no one is lonely. Jean asked me out tonight too."

Mikasa blushed and mumbled something about it not being a date and Eren just smiled at Armin's obvious happiness. Ever since Jean asked Armin out, his friend was nothing but smiles. It was good to see Armin so happy, even though it was because of that horse face.

They went back to finishing their food and chatted about small things, while Eren tried his hardest to not bounce in his chair out of pure excitement for what was coming.

Levi paced around in his apartment, waiting for a text from Eren that said the boy was ready for Levi to pick him up. Levi had already fixed everything and the table was set for two. All he needed now was that cute ass sitting in the chair across from him. His phone vibrated in his hand and he could have sworn his heart jumped in his chest. He looked down at the phone.

Eren: I'm ready. Meeting at the convenience store, right?

Levi: Yeah, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Don't be late.

Levi grabbed his keys, wallet, and threw on his trench coat before leaving the apartment and locking up.

The car ride there was relatively uneventful, besides the occasional expletive because some asshole wanted to cut him off. He rode in silence, though he was sure music would have helped him calm his nerves.

When he pulled into the parking lot of the convenience store, he had to remember to breathe. Eren was standing outside the store, huddled into his forest green winter jacket and his hands jammed into his pockets. All Levi could see were those startling teal-green eyes and his messy brown hair. The boy was stunning without even trying. Levi didn't know when he became so enraptured, but sure enough he was sucked into the teen's life force. Every thought he had somehow consisted of Eren. Levi couldn't even imagine his life without him now and he was just waiting for something to come along and destroy this little bit of happiness.

Levi watched as Eren recognized his car and straightened up his stance so that Levi could see the grin that was spread across the teen's face. Eren jogged to the passenger side and quickly climbed in, his teeth chattering as he buckled himself.

"Hey, it's good to see you. Man, it's cold as balls out there." Eren let out a laugh through his chattering teeth and it made Levi smile.

"Hey, sorry for making you wait. Let's get you back to my place, so you can warm up."

The ride back was just as silent and comfortable. They both kept quiet as Levi drove them to his apartment. Eren let out a whistle as they pulled into the parking lot.

"Wow, I didn't know you lived in such a nice place. How can you afford that on a school nurse's salary?"

Levi glanced over at Eren to see the teen staring in awe at the huge building. As Levi pulled into his designated parking spot, he shrugged his shoulders in response to Eren's question, "I have my ways."

Eren looked at him questioningly, but Levi didn't say another word. This wasn't the time to have a conversation about his finances and he knew that Eren took the hint because the boy slid out of the car as Levi turned it off.

Levi took a hold of Eren's hand and pulled him along into the lobby, nodding to the security guard before heading for the elevator. They travelled up to the eighth floor much to Eren's amazement. Levi had to suppress a chuckle at Eren's obvious excitement; it was like taking a kid to a new place. When they finally reached Levi's apartment, he moved in front of Eren so that he could properly invite him in. He opened the door and made a sweeping gesture, "Welcome to my humble abode."

Eren stepped in hesitantly and looked around silently as if he was taking everything in and storing the information for later.

"I like it. It feels like you."

Levi perked a brow and smirked, that comment wasn't something he had expected but it was nice to hear, "Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment."

Before Eren could venture too far, Levi took the lead and stripped off his jacket and then Eren's before hanging them up on the hook beside the door.

"Now," He pulled a long black cloth out of his pocket, "turn around and be still."

Eren began to protest, but Levi stood up on his tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, "Please?"

Levi had to stop himself from laughing, because the immediate obedience that he got out of Eren was amusing if not slightly alluring. He kind of liked how much he could manipulate the teen to do what he wanted, though sometimes Eren proved that he wasn't just some puppet who would follow every command. Levi had to admit that stubborn aspect of Eren was also arousing and he realized that just about anything Eren did attracted Levi's attention.

After Eren obediently turned around, Levi brought the cloth over his head and wrapped it around the boy's eyes. Eren tensed up at first with the loss of his sight, but Levi rubbed the boy's shoulders reassuringly.

"Um, Levi, why is this necessary?"

Levi chuckled, "Because it is. Now, let me lead you."

He took ahold of Eren's hand once more and led him to the dining table. He pulled out the seat and moved Eren so that he could push him down into it. Eren, so far, was very compliant if not a little clumsy. Levi smiled as he watched Eren look around, as if moving his head would help him get a handle as to what was going on.

"Wait right here and don't take that blindfold off, okay?"

As Eren nodded in understanding, Levi left to go get the food and drinks. He brought them to the table, gently placing the plates in their respective places. He lit the candles that were set in the middle of the table and poured both of them a little wine before sitting down and watching Eren.

If he thought the boy was stunning bundled up in a jacket while standing outside, he was breathtaking now. He wore a simple red sweater that hugged his body in all the right places. Levi studied the way he was biting his bottom lip and bouncing in his seat, with what Levi could only guess was nervousness or excitement. This boy would be the death of him.

"Okay, you can take it off now."

Eren hurriedly ripped the blindfold off and gasped at the sight in front of him.

"Wow, Levi, this is amazing. Did you cook this yourself? What is it?"

Levi had to stop himself from grinning at the bombardment of questions and instead soaked in the sparkle of excitement in those mesmerizing eyes. He really could drown in those eyes and he wouldn't mind it in the least.

"Thank you. Yes, I did. It's bouillabaisse."

Eren frowned at the foreign word and looked at Levi questioningly, "What is that? French?"

"Oui."

Eren's brows rose into his bangs, "Are you French?"

"Oui."

Eren smiled at him, causing Levi to remind himself to breathe, "I didn't know that. Learn something new every day."

Levi hummed in agreement and gave Eren a small smile, "Let's eat before it gets cold."

Eren savored ever last bite of the dish. Not just because Levi took the time to cook it, but because, holy shit, it was delicious. Eren teased Levi for giving him alcohol, but Levi just shrugged and commented that it was his birthday and he could do whatever the fuck he wanted. The comment went straight to Eren's crotch, but he was sure that Levi hadn't meant it in that way.

When they were done with dinner, they cleaned up the mess before going to settle on the couch and watch movies. Eren curled up beside Levi as close as he could and silently cheered when Levi wrapped his arm around Eren's shoulders. It was halfway through the movie and Eren hadn't paid attention at all. He was too busy soaking up every little detail of Levi that he could. The older male was dressed in a dark grey sweater that looked two sizes too big and black fleece pajama pants that he had changed into after dinner. They hung dangerously low on Levi's hips and it didn't help Eren in the least.

Eren decided he was going to be bold, because why the hell not. He turned his head to look up at Levi, who was very interested in the movie. He moved his lips across the expanse of neck that was exposed to him, but just barely so that Levi could only really feel Eren's breath across his skin. He had to stop himself from grinning as he noticed Levi tensing and his breathing slowing down. He began to kiss his way up Levi's neck to his jaw, nibbling here and there. Levi's breath hitched at Eren's administrations and Eren chuckled quietly against the smooth skin under his lips.

"Eren…"

There was a slight warning in the tone of Levi's voice, but Eren knew it wasn't because he was mad. Oh no, it was definitely not because he was mad. He knew how much Levi wanted him, it had been obvious the past couple of weeks. No, the warning was probably because of the rule they had agreed to and the fact that it took literally every ounce of strength Levi had to not go further.

Eren kissed underneath Levi's ear before whispering, "Le-vi."

Before Eren knew it, Levi had him flipped over onto the couch, the breath knocked out of him at the sudden impact. Levi quickly took the lead, claiming Eren's lips with a fierceness that stole Eren's breath. Their lips meshed together perfectly and Levi's tongue swiped across Eren's making him shudder into the kiss. Eren grabbed ahold of Levi's waist and tried to push Levi's hips down into his to get some kind of friction and relieve the sudden tightening in his pants. Levi growled into the kiss and slipped his hand under Eren's ass, grabbing it possessively.

They grinded against each other, both letting out moans before Eren groaned in frustration with need for more. He needed more. He needed Levi like he needed air to breathe. He was desperate to get this ball rolling, but he knew Levi wouldn't let it go further than this. Eren gasped suddenly as he felt Levi's hand grab his erection through the material of his jeans.

"L-Levi."

Levi began to kiss his way down Eren's neck, sending shivers down Eren's body, "Hmm?"

Eren couldn't respond, because Levi began to rub his hand firmly against Eren's throbbing member and all Eren could do was moan and arch into his touch. His hand reflexively found its way into the soft strands of Levi's hair. Eren gripped his hair while Levi began to take the skin on Eren's shoulders between his lips and suck and nibble on it. Eren was panting and the fire in the lower half of his body was building up before he knew it.

"L-Levi. I'm about to-"

Levi chuckled against Eren's skin and replaced his hand with his hips, swiveling them into him to give Eren even more friction. "Go ahead, Eren, come for me."

Eren moaned and felt his hips jerk as he finally found his release. Levi continued to kiss up and down his neck while Eren rode out the wave of pleasure. When Eren finally relaxed and slumped back into the couch in bliss, Levi got up and walked to his bedroom before coming back out with a change of clothes and a damp cloth.

"Here, clean up and change into these. You're spending the night right?"

Eren sat up quickly and looked at Levi in confusion, "What about you?"

"What about me?"

"D-don't you need me to help you, y-you know?"

Levi gave him a reassuring smile and handed him the items, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. Now hurry up and get clean, I don't want you getting anything on my couch."

Eren blushed and slid off the couch so he could head to the bathroom. Before he could get too far, he felt a quick pop on his ass and squeaked, which made Levi laugh. Eren turned just enough to stick his tongue out at the older male before hurrying into the bathroom to get changed and cleaned up.

When he came back out, Levi was lying on the couch with his arms up behind his head. Eren slid into the little space beside him and rested his head on Levi's chest.

"All better?" Levi began to play with his hair and Eren had to keep himself from purring in contentment.

"Yeah. Thank you."

Eren listened to the vibration in Levi's chest as he chuckled and confirmed that it was a sound he would never get tired of hearing. Eren began to fall asleep in Levi's arms, his leg draped over Levi's waist and his arm hugging him back.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he felt Levi trace his jaw with a finger before he spoke, "You're such a little shit. But god damn, I think I'm falling in love with you."
