...
When the final bell of the day rings, Eren is off campus in record time, running at breakneck speeds back toward home. At home, he impatiently answers his mom's questions about school, and the moment she releases him, he races down the hall to his room to do his homework. He speeds through his work, and he's completely done by 5:00.
Eren goes and takes a long shower, scrubbing at his skin until it is bordering on raw as he is pelted by streams of hot water. His voice rises and fills the air as Eren washes and conditions his hair, making sure that he is as clean as possible for his date with Levi. When he feels like he can't get any more clean than he already is, Eren finally gets out of the shower and dries off. He rubs lotion all over his body, making his skin smooth and soft to the touch and giving him the faintest smell of vanilla. To finish it off, he brushes his teeth and hair, making sure that even his tousled locks are perfect.
When he returns to his room, he searches through his clothes for a possible outfit to wear for his romantic evening with Levi. He creates outfit after outfit, most of them nowhere near satisfying. He settles on a pair of white skinny jeans that hug his strong legs and toned booty, leaving nothing to the imagination. In contrast, he also wears a loose black sweater with a low neckline that has a pair of white wings on the back. He looks himself over in the mirror, pleased with his appearance, and packs up all his gifts for Levi in a small backpack before heading out. Eren's almost out the door when his mom calls out to him.
"Are you going over to Armin's house?"
"Yeah."
"Do you need a ride?"
"No, I'll walk."
"Your homework is done, right? You have school tomorrow."
"Yes, mom."
"Okay, okay, I'll let you go, just let me come give you a kiss goodbye."
She comes into the room and takes in Eren's appearance. She comes closer and smells the vanilla scent coming off of him and raises an eyebrow.
"What's the occasion, Eren? Is there something going on between you and Armin or something?"
Eren's face goes bright red.
"What? Mom, no!"
"Then why did you clean up so much?"
"My skin was feeling dry so I put on some lotion and the sweater was comfortable. It's not that dressy is it?" Eren asks, slightly concerned.
His mom laughs and shakes her head. Eren breathes a small sigh of relief, and his mom plants a kiss on Eren's forehead.
"I'll see you later, sweetie. Have fun!"
"Bye mom!" Eren calls, already out the door and headed towards Armin's house in case his mom is watching him through the window.
Once he knows he's out of sight, Eren changes directions to swing by the florist and pick up the flowers he ordered earlier and walk over to Levi's apartment. He calls Levi's apartment so that Levi can buzz him in. Levi doesn't even pick up the phone, he just automatically lets him in, knowing that it is Eren.
Flowers in hand, Eren makes his way up to Levi's apartment. Eren takes a deep breath before knocking on Levi's door. When the door opens, Levi just stops and stares at Eren for a moment, his jaw falling slightly.
Eren's here!- Oh god, what is he wearing? That sweater is practically falling off him, and I can see his beautiful neck… and those jeans! I haven't seen the back yet, but those jeans are so tight that I just know his ass will look amazing in those. This brat really has no clue how incredible sexy he is, or if he does, he knows exactly how to flaunt it…
When Levi doesn't say anything, Eren blushes, hiding behind the flowers he brought. With shaky hands, Eren offers Levi the bouquet, and Levi accepts them gratefully.
"Eren… You look ravishing tonight…" Levi breathes, making Eren blush even darker.
"Thank you. Can I come inside?" Eren giggles nervously, and Levi rolls his eyes.
"Yes, brat. Come on in."
Levi beckons for Eren to come in, squeezing Eren's butt as he walks in before closing the door behind them. Levi heads back toward the kitchen with the bouquet of roses and carnations, carefully placing them in a vase on the table while Eren kicks off his shoes by the door.
"Are you hungry, Eren?"
"Yeah, I'm hungry."
"Good, because I made dinner for us. Go ahead and sit down; I'll be done in a moment."
Eren leaves his backpack by his shoes and sits down at the table. Levi returns from the kitchen a minute later with two plates, placing one in front of Eren and one in front of his seat. Eren practically drools as he stares at his plate of spaghetti bolognese, the faintest scent of garlic wafting from the fresh garlic bread sitting beside the conservative serving of pasta.
"You want something to drink, Eren?"
"Just water thanks."
"You can go ahead and start eating; I'll only be a moment."
Levi goes into the kitchen, grabbing two glasses out of the cabinet. Eren picks up his fork and twirls some spaghetti onto it, quickly digging into the meal. When the first bite hits his tongue, he releases a small moan of delight at the explosion of flavor in his mouth.
"Wow, this tastes amazing, Levi!"
"Thanks, I'm glad you like it, Eren."
Levi fills one glass with water then opens a bottle of wine, pouring a somewhat generous amount into the wine glass before putting the bottle back with his other liquor. He walks back into the dining room and stops short.
"Did you even chew your food, or did you just inhale it?" Levi says, staring at Eren's plate, which is empty except for the garlic bread.
Eren blushes in embarrassment as Levi hands Eren his glass of water.
"Sorry! It was really good, and I didn't eat much at lunch because I was nervous about this evening…"
"This is the third time you've been over to my place, brat. Why the hell are you nervous?" Levi asks, sitting down to start eating.
"Well, you remember how nervous I was the first time I came over, and the second time I was kinda too focused on consoling you to be nervous. Besides, today is Valentine's Day, and I want to make sure this Valentine's Day is a great one for you." Eren replies, nibbling on his garlic bread.
"Honestly Eren, this is the first time I've celebrated Valentine's Day in about twenty years. My standards aren't too terribly high."
"You haven't celebrated Valentine's Day in twenty years? I know I wasn't around, but since you forgot me, doesn't that mean that you could have gone out with someone else?" Eren asks, incredulous.
Levi flinches at Eren's words, taking a long sip of wine.
"It never felt right and I never met anyone worth my time. I usually just watched a movie at home and went to bed early on Valentine's Day. On several occasions, Isabel, Farlan, or one of my other friends would invite me out, but I always said no. It never felt right. I guess I was subconsciously holding out for you." Levi says with a small shrug, making Eren frown.
"That shouldn't stop you from being able to have a nice evening every once in a while."
"Regardless, we're together now, so this will easily be the best Valentine's Day I've had in twenty years."
"Hey!"
Levi chuckles, taking another bite of his dinner.
"By the way, who are Isabel and Farlan? You mentioned them earlier, but I don't have any memories of them, at least yet."
Levi shakes his head.
"You won't ever have any memories of Isabel or Farlan because you never met them. I think you'd get along well with Isabel. You remind me of her; you have the same fiery determination in your green eyes."
Eren blushes slightly.
"Then how do you know them?"
Levi takes a deep breath.
"Do you remember the Underground City?"
"I don't have any memories related to it, but I have heard of it."
"I guess that will work. Did you know that I grew up there?"
"Really? Cool! What was it like?" Eren's voice is filled with awe, and his eyes sparkle with excitement.
"It wasn't that great, brat. It was dirty, cramped, and dark." Levi says, utterly disgusted by the memory of the nasty place. "It wasn't easy trying to get by down there… I joined a group of thugs and helped pull off all sorts of odd jobs to earn money, to survive."
"Did you have run-ins with the Military Police?"
"Oh, yes, we had many run-ins with the MPs. Every time, we managed to throw them off our trail and escape. Sometimes they would even try to pay us off to stop causing trouble. It worked, but it only lasted for so long." Levi chuckles.
"How did you escape every time?"
"Well, for starters, the MPs are as slow and stupid as hell, so they were easy to lose. It helped that Farlan and I were skilled with the 3D MG that we had. When Isabel joined later, it didn't take her long to catch up."
"So you knew how to use the 3D MG before you joined the Survey Corps?"
"Yes. Actually, it was because we already knew how to use 3D MG that the three of us got to join the Survey Corps. We were hired for a job, and it required us to join. When we joined, we skipped the three years of training and became full members right away."
"That's so cool! What was the job you were hired for that required you to join the Survey Corps?"
"The mission had two parts. The first part was to obtain a certain document with incriminating information. The second part of the job was to kill Erwin."
"Wait, what?"
"You heard me. Obviously, we failed."
"What happened?"
Levi sets down his fork and looks across the table at Eren, looking deep into his nostalgic green eyes. He takes a long drag of his wine, and when he sets the glass back down, he takes a deep breath before answering.
"It was our first expedition outside the walls. While we were out there, Isabel, Farlan and I all had a chance to kill our first Titans. Soon after, it began to rain heavily, but our expedition didn't turn back towards the walls. We decided that it was our best chance to kill Erwin; the rain would prove to be good cover for a sneak attack. To be as stealthy as possible, and so that Isabel and Farlan didn't have Erwin's blood on their hands, I went alone. It was difficult to see in that storm, and after a while I came across some bodies. You know that happened occasionally on missions, when a group of aberrations would take out a squad."
"All too well, Levi. All too well." Eren replies ominously, and Levi takes another sip of wine.
"Anyway, I kept riding through the area of the massacre, but my horse slipped in some sort of puddle or something, and I was pitched onto the ground. When I sat up, I noticed Isabel's severed head in front of me, dirt and blood streaking her face and her bright green eyes unseeing." Levi chokes on the last few words, swirling the remaining wine in his glass, staring at the intense red color.
"I looked up in time to see a Titan, an aberration, bite off the lower half of a person and swallow it, leaving the bloody top half on the ground. I was just barely able to make out Farlan's face through the haze. For a moment, I just sat there on the ground, unable to believe that they had died, the only real family I had ever known. My vision filled with an angry blood lust and I lost it. I went at that Titan with everything I had, making sure to inflict as much pain as I could to it before killing it. I screamed and cried and cut and slashed at that Titan, over and over, but it wasn't enough to dull the pain. After I killed it, the rain slowed to a stop, and Erwin rode up with a bunch of his men."
"So, you're the only survivor. How pathetic."
Levi lunges at Erwin, seething in anger. He raises a sword towards Erwin's throat, but Erwin grabs his blade.
"I'm going to… kill you! That's why I'm here!" Levi growls, his body shaking in anger.
Erwin pulls a scroll out of his uniform and tosses it onto the muddy ground beside them. Levi stops trying to slice at Erwin's throat to stare at the scroll.
"These documents revealing Lobov's crimes are a fake. The real ones have likely reached Darius Zackley by now. Lobov is done for. "
Levi's anger grows and he narrows his eyes, trying even harder to get at Erwin.
"You knew everything right from the start! You knew we were after you and yet you-" Levi yells, lunging at Erwin over his sword, but an arm stops him.
Mike pulls Levi back, and Levi struggles against the larger man. When he finally stops, Mike releases him, and Levi falls to his knees, defeated. His breathing is shaky and he is on the verge of tears remembering Isabel and Farlan, his only family, as their voices echo through his mind.
"Believe in us."
"We're counting on you, Bro!"
Levi takes a deep breath, ready to cry, when Erwin speaks up.
"Don't. You'll regret it."
Levi looks up at Erwin from his position on the ground.
"If you begin to regret, you'll dull your future decisions and let others make your choices for you. All that's left for you then is to die. Nobody can foretell the outcome. Each decision you make holds meaning only by affecting your next decision. We are going to continue the Expeditions. I expect you to come with me." Erwin states, turning his back on Levi and walking away.
Levi watches Erwin mount his horse and begin to ride off when Erwin pauses to glance at Flagon's corpse before moving forward, riding through the field of corpses towards the dying sun, leaving Levi to stare in wonder.
"Are you okay Levi?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. Just the memories from that day are always tough. It was that day that I became the heichou everyone else knew, the stone-faced captain that didn't even cry when his subordinates died. It wasn't because I didn't mourn their deaths, it was because I learned from a wise man that if I stopped to regret and dwelled on the what-ifs, then I too would die. The day Isabel and Farlan died, during my first expedition outside the walls, I made a choice with no regrets. I made the choice to live, that I would fight for my life and for the lives of all the people who served with me but didn't make it."
"I guess that's why you're called humanity's strongest."
Both Eren and Levi are silent for a long moment, eyeing each other across the table.
"So, which of your friends remember?" Eren asks, changing the subject.
"Let's see… Well, obviously Hanji remembers. Farlan and Isabel remember. Petra remembers, but Gunter, Eld and Olulo don't. I'm pretty sure Mike doesn't remember either, but he doesn't talk much, so I wouldn't really know. And Erwin… I don't actually know if Erwin remembers. For the most part, he acts like he doesn't, so I never bothered to ask him, but you know how sneaky the damn bastard can be."
"For the most part? What do you mean?"
Levi sighs, running his fingers through his hair.
"I knew Erwin back before you joined the Survey Corps. Our relationship was rocky at first, since I tried to kill him and all, but eventually we put that behind us and we became friends. Or at least I thought. He caught me by surprise and took advantage of the opportunity…" Levi shakes his head and sighs. "And the fact that he did it again in this life makes me think he has to remember something…"
"What did Erwin do?" Eren asked, panic and a little anger evident in his voice.
"Erwin… I still can't quite believe he ambushed me like that… I mean, one moment everything is normal, and the next moment, he's kissing me." Levi says almost nonchalantly, looking out the window.
"ERWIN DID WHAT?" Eren shrieks, slamming his fists on the table, making Levi jump.
Eren's face is contorted in anger and Levi can swear that he sees steam coming out of Eren's ears. He looks into Eren's eyes and sees pure rage, a burning fire that reminds Levi of when Eren used to talk about killing the Titans. Levi grows concerned for Erwin's safety lest Eren meet him.
Levi stands up from his seat and crosses over to Eren, gently pulling him out of his seat and taking him over to the couch, where he pulls Eren into his lap.
"Calm down Eren, it's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal? He kissed you-"
Levi cuts Eren off with a kiss of his own, and a little bit of Eren's anger melts away as he kisses Levi back.
"I never said I kissed him back."
He's so incredibly possessive… I mean, Erwin didn't do anything all that wrong and he's getting all worked about it. That's so incredibly hot… Levi can't help but think.
"It's still not okay…" Eren says under his breath.
"Shush, he knows where he stands with me. And if for some reason he doesn't, he'll soon know when he sees me with my cute new boyfriend." Levi says quietly, taping Eren on the nose.
Eren blushes at Levi's words, and Levi pats Eren's leg.
"Speaking of cute new boyfriends, I have some Valentine's Day presents for him if I can get his perfect little ass off of me."
"Do you really want me to leave?" Eren teases, getting up from Levi's lap.
"Never." Levi replies, smacking Eren's butt on his way to go grab the presents.
Eren takes this opportunity to go grab his backpack and unpack the two packages for Levi and the card that goes with them, hiding them under the coffee table before sitting back down, waiting for Levi to return. When Levi returns with two boxes and a bag, he sets the bag down and hands the two boxes to Eren.
"One box contains chocolate covered strawberries and the other has normal chocolates in them. You can have them now or later, but I don't think it will be easy to take the strawberries home with you."
Eren nods, placing the box of chocolates aside in favor of the chocolate covered strawberries.
"I guess I better eat them here then…" Eren plucks a strawberry from the box and puts it in his mouth.
The chocolate coating shatters as he bites down and red juice spills and runs down his chin. Eren finishes the strawberry, sighing a little as he enjoys the treat. He sets the stem aside, careful not to make a mess on the coffee table. Levi sighs, licking his thumb and rubbing it on Eren's face to rub away the red juice. Almost as an afterthought, Levi licks his thumb again after wiping Eren's face, tasting the sticky red stain on his thumb.
"Hey, Levi, there's something I've always wanted to try… Will you help me?" Eren simpers, his eyes widening a little bit. Levi swallows, trying to keep his cool.
"O-Of course…"
How is he so damn cute? I think he somehow knows that I can't say no when he makes that face. I mean, I must be smitten because I'm tripping over myself trying to tell this kid yes.
Eren pulls a piece of chocolate out of the box, quickly inspecting it before putting it between his teeth. He leans in towards Levi, and he immediately gets the message, meeting Eren halfway to take the rest of the chocolate in his own teeth. They kiss around the chocolate, sharing the sweetness of it. As their tongues swirl and twist around each other, the chocolate melts and every time their tongues collide, some of the chocolate is transferred to the other. Eventually, Eren pulls away, his cheeks tinted pink and chocolate smeared on his plush lips.
"So, was it all you hoped it would be?
"Yeah, and more…" Eren whispers, still breathless from the amazing kiss.
"Want to do it again?" Levi asks in a sultry tone, already picking up a chocolate and placing it in his mouth.
"I thought you would never ask…" Eren replies, nearly tackling Levi for the chocolate.
It was through this method that Levi and Eren polished off the entire box of chocolates in one sitting.
When the pair of lovebirds finally finish off the box, they find themselves far from disappointed. Eren is laying back on the couch, the box of chocolates balanced on his chest and Levi sits atop his slender hips. By this point, Eren is a flushed and giddy mess, his hair mussed up and his lips swollen and abused in the best way possible, and Levi enjoys the view presented before him. Taking advantage of their position and Eren's outfit, Levi puts the box aside and descends on Eren, nipping and sucking on the supple skin of his neck and collarbones, leaving a constellation of marks on Eren. When he finishes, he sits back and checks his work, giving Eren a kiss on the lips to show he is satisfied.
"Mmmm… Levi, I have something for you too." Eren says slowly, sitting up and grabbing the gifts from under the table and placing them next to Levi's presents.
"You bought me something? Eren, you didn't have to."
Levi leans in closer, his breath hot on Eren's neck as he whispers in Eren's ear.
"If you really wanted to give me something, you should have just tied a ribbon around your neck…" Levi purrs, licking the shell of Eren's ear and nibbling the lobe.
Eren shivers in delight, wrapping one arm around Levi's waist and grabbing the card with the other, handing it to Levi. He accepts the card and carefully opens it, pulling out the card inside. The outside of the card is simple, a white flower pattern with the words "I Love You…" written in a gold, loopy text. Levi rolls his eyes, but any sarcastic comments on the tip of his tongue die when he opens the card. Inside, the gold text of the card finishes "I will stay by your side, through hardship and strife, so will you be mine, the light of my life?" From anyone else, such sappy sentiments would disgust Levi, but from Eren, they mean so much more. His dark eyes flicker over to the other side of the card, where Eren has left a handwritten note of his own.
Dear Levi,
There are so many things that I would love to say to you, but since you've never been a big fan of mushy crap, I'll keep this brief and to the point.
I owe my everything to you. You keep me sane, you lift me back up on my feet, you support me, you complete me. You've saved my life on more than one occasion, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
A day doesn't go by that I don't think about you. I search for you everywhere, even when I know you are somewhere else. I only ever find beauty in things that remind me of you, your hair, your voice, your eyes…
You've endured hardship upon hardship for me, crying and hurting and waiting for me to come back. Even when you did find me, you suppressed your feelings because I didn't remember yet. I wish that I could have taken on part of the burden of that pain for you, and yet, some part of me knows that you would stubbornly refuse my offer because the last thing you would ever want for me is to feel an ounce of sadness.
You are the most perfect human to ever exist, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be by your side. To be loved by such an exquisite being is a blessing within itself, and it is with the upmost selfishness that I desire to be with you for all eternity.
I love you.
Forever yours,
Eren
Eren's words awaken a newfound longing within Levi, a longing so deep and strong that it cripples Levi's ability to speak temporarily. After a full minute of trying and failing to form words, Levi manages to speak.
"E-Eren…" He whispers reverently, his softer tone and facial expression somehow conveying to his green-eyed lover the profound and overwhelming emotion flooding his entire being and spreading warmth to even his greatest extremities.
"You don't have to say anything else, Levi. I understand."
Levi nods, pulling Eren to him in a tight hug. He rests his head on the crook of Eren's shoulder, breathing in his scent, a warm smell with a hint of vanilla. They stay like this for a while, just enjoying each other's presence, but eventually Levi pulls away, grabbing the bag off of the table and handing to Eren. He accepts it, carefully pulling out the tissue paper and pulling out a furry blanket, the soft grey material perfectly matching the color of Levi's eyes. Levi takes the blanket from Eren and wraps it around both of them, trapping their warmth. Eren also grabs one of his presents from the table and gives it to Levi, who unwraps it carefully to reveal a small pink package.
"Darjeeling?"
"It's supposed to pair well with chocolate…" Levi gives Eren a quick peck on the cheek.
"You want some?"
"That would be lovely." Eren says with a wink.
Levi gets up off of Eren's lap to go brew some tea, but before he leaves, he wraps the blanket tighter around Eren. A small smile settles on Eren's face as he waits for Levi to come back. He absentmindedly nibbles on a strawberry before pulling the blanket tighter and laying back, breathing in Levi's almost minty smell on the fabric. He closes his eyes contentedly, and when he feels a shifting on the couch, signaling Levi's return, his eyes open up to Levi's face inches from his own. Eren squeaks, and Levi smirks down at him, his hands on either side of Eren's head.
Through his sleep, Eren feels something shift on his small bed. He opens his eyes, squeaking at the close proximity of Levi's face to his own. Eren tries to move away from his superior officer, but Levi's hands are braced on either side of Eren's head and Eren is hopelessly tangled in his sheets, which is for the best given he only wore boxers to bed.
"Heichou, what are you doing?" Eren tries to demand, but it comes out as a nervous squeak.
Levi chuckles darkly, smirking down at Eren, who is now madly blushing.
"What does it look like I'm doing, brat? I'm here to wake you up for training."
"Oh, just training…" Eren breathes a sigh of relief.
"I never said what kind of training, Jaeger. Now let's get your ass up and moving." Levi murmurs hotly, making Eren blush up to his ears.
Eren snaps back to himself, his face and ears burning like in his memory. Viridian eyes meet slate, and he remembers his final gift for Levi.
"Levi?"
"Yes, my sweet?" Levi croons, giving Eren a kiss.
"I have one more gift for you. Will you open it?" Eren asks quietly, and Levi's hands twitch on either side of Eren's head. Eren's eyes flick up and meet Levi's lustful mercury pools.
"Not that, baka. It's a school night. The bag on the table." Eren rolls his eyes, and Levi's expression flickers to one of disappointment briefly before returning to his usual mask.
Levi gets up, allowing Eren to come to a seated position. Levi hands Eren a teacup so that Eren can sip while Levi opens his final present. As he pulls away the tissue paper, he freezes and turns to Eren.
"I can't believe you actually got me this. It must have been expensive."
"In a way, it's a gift for me too. I like a man in uniform." Eren shrugs, a smile adorning his face.
Levi raises his eyebrow, but he pulls off his red sweater vest, folding it neatly and setting it on the coffee table before taking the Survey Corps jacket Eren gave him and putting it on his back. He slips his left arm through, then his right, adjusting it quickly before walking off towards his room.
"Where are you going Levi? Aren't you going to let me see it?"
"I'll be one moment, just hold your horses, brat." Levi calls as he disappears into his room. A minute later, he reemerges, a cravat tied around his neck.
"I know it's not the full uniform, but-" Levi says, coming back into the living room.
"Levi heichou! You look amazing, sir!" Eren cries, instinctively placing his right fist over his heart and his left hand behind his back in salute.
"Oi, brat…" Levi growls, crossing his arms. "What did I say about calling me heichou?"
Eren blinks hard for a moment, shaking his head back and forth a few times before looking back at him.
"Sorry… I don't know what came over me…" Eren mumbles, and Levi plants a kiss on his forehead.
Levi grabs a cup of tea and flops back onto the end of the couch, throwing one arm across the back and crossing his legs. He takes a long sip of tea and sighs, relaxing a little bit. Eren sits down next to him, sipping his own tea and pulling the blanket across their laps. He leans into Levi's side and the pair cuddle for their remaining time, occasionally talking, but mostly just relaxing in comfortable silence.
Eventually, it comes time for Eren to go back home, and it is with great reluctance that he leaves Levi's embrace, carefully folding up the soft blanket given to him and tucking it in his backpack.
"Ready to go?" Levi asks, changing back into his sweater vest and grabbing his keys.
"It's okay; I can walk home, Levi."
"At this hour, Eren? Absolutely not. I'll give you a ride home."
"Okay then. Thank you." Eren says, pecking Levi on the cheek.
The ride goes by quickly, and Levi drops Eren off a block from his house.
"Thanks for a great time and a ride home, Levi."
"The pleasure was all mine, believe me. I think we have an appointment on Saturday, so I guess I'll see you then?"
"I miss you already."
Eren gives Levi one last kiss before stepping away from the car. Levi watches Eren disappear into his house from the car before turning the vehicle back towards home.
…
"Mom, I'm home!" Eren calls, checking the time on his phone.
9:56. Right on time.
His mom appears in the entryway as he turns off the screen.
"Did you have a good time at Armin's?" Carla asks, all smiles as she comes over to hug her son.
"Yeah, I had a great time!" Eren says with a warm smile, and his mom pulls him into a hug.
"I'm glad-" She replies, pulling out of the hug, but freezes when she spots something out of the ordinary.
"Eren Jaeger, would you care to explain why you have hickeys on your neck?" Carla asks sternly.
Well, shit…
...
Author's Note: ahahahaha okay, I bet none of you saw that coming until it was too late... but hey, it was bound to happen eventually right? :) I'm sorry that I really suck at keeping this fic happy. I'll try to update ASAP.
