Eren's POV!

The next couple weeks were weird for Eren. He had ignored some of Levi's texts. Not all of them since he still wanted to text his boyfriend, but sometimes he wouldn't reply to his good morning or good night texts.

They went out for lunch a couple times and if Eren got the feeling Levi was going to bring up what had happened back at his apartment, he quickly changed the subject and started rambling. He wanted to talk to Levi about it, but he was embarrassed and a bit insecure about it all. Levi would hold his hand and he'd let him for a while, but then he's find an excuse to let it go and not hold it again. The most kissing they did were quick pecks on the lips and cheeks.

And Eren hated it, he hated that he couldn't do more. He knew if he kissed Levi even just a little longer, he wouldn't be able to stop himself and repeat what happened last time.

Eren was so concerned between school, work, and his relationship with Levi, he didn't really notice how his friends were starting to act around him.

It wasn't until one day during dinner that he realized it, he had said something to Jean that would have usually made him snap back at Eren, but instead Jean laughed it off and they changed the subject. One Eren noticed that, he noticed everyone else. Everyone seemed to have a sort of pity look whenever he talked about Levi. He told them he was going to be working for him after break, and the look he got from Mikasa made him ask her what was wrong. She tried to play it off, and say that he was going to have to deal with Levi's orders, but Mikasa was never good at lying to Eren.

When he asked Armin, even he seemed to be nervous, like he was keeping something from Eren.

"Armin, I know you guys are keeping something from me, what is it?"

"It's nothing, Eren. Really. We're all just stressed with school, you know,"

Eren wanted to ask Armin more, they had been stressed before, but that never kept them from being themselves around each other. But before Eren could ask, Armin said he had to go meet Erwin and he left.

Next, Eren tried cornering Mikasa, but she refused to say anything and Eren got tired of trying to pry from her. He figured his best bet would be Jean or Marco, but they were avoiding Eren, or at least that's what he felt like.

Eren got frustrated and so he asked Levi to meet him for lunch. It was Friday, which meant he would be seeing Levi later, but he didn't want to have to wait. When they sat at their usual table, Levi grabbed Eren's hand from across the table. Eren didn't pull back, instead held it tightly in his.

"Is everything alright?" Levi asked him.

Eren pulled Levi's hand a little closer to himself and rested his forehead on the back of his hand. Even this little act of affection was enough to make him feel a little better. But not better enough to tell Levi what had been bothering him.

"I'm sorry I've been acting weird lately, I guess I've just been stressed," at least it wasn't a complete lie.

"That's okay, it seems as though everyone has been acting a bit strange,"

Eren lifted his head to look up Levi. He was looking out the window and his face was scrunched up in thought.

"I've noticed, is it me or is it like everyone knows something?"

Levi looked back at Eren, "I've been getting the same feeling. I asked Erwin and he said that being around Armin and the others have made his memories come in faster. He said that it seems the longer he's with someone, that the more of his memories resurface. I guess it's tough on him and Hange having you all as students,"

Eren sat up straight now, but still held Levi's hand, "I guess that makes sense. But if it's the same thing with my friends, I would imagine they'd tell me. Instead they're avoiding me. They look at me with pity and I don't like it," Eren hadn't realized he had started to squeeze Levi's hand until Levi was rubbing circles with his thumb and he relaxed a bit.

"Maybe it's not as much for them. It's different being around three people rather than the bundle of you all. You're all younger as well and can't handle stress as well as Erwin and Hange can,"

Eren nodded, Levi had a point but he could see his friends faces in the back of his head and they still bothered him.

"Where is Hange anyway? I got an email that she cancelled class,"

Levi tilted his head, "she's around. I spoke to her this morning. All she told me was that she was going with Erwin somewhere but I assumed that was later. I guess not if she's cancelling class,"

"Armin told me he was going to be with Erwin today,"

"You think they're all together?"

"I doubt it, Armin sounded like it was another one of their day long date things,"

"Hmm, well that's strange. But whatever it is, I'm sure everything is fine or they would've told us,"

"I guess you're right," Eren nodded.

"Hey, the movie you wanted to see comes out today. I bought us tickets if you want to go. We can go after we leave the office,"

Eren smiled and leaned over the table to give Levi a quick kiss, "I'd love that,"

At the movie theater, Eren found himself wanting to kiss Levi more than he wanted to watch the movie. So he leaned over and kissed Levi, several times, but Levi didn't seem to mind. A couple times he was the one to lean over and kiss Eren.

As soon as they got in the car, Eren was on Levi once again. He was pulling Levi closer to him from his tie and smashing their lips together. He wanted Levi so badly, he didn't care that people were walking right outside the car and could probably see them.

When Levi pulled back to breath, Eren worked off his tie and kissed at Levi's neck.

"My apartment?" Levi asked him. Eren continued kissed his neck a couple more times, making sure to leave behind a big hickey before he finally pulled back and Levi drove off towards his apartment.

They were almost to his apartment when Eren's phone starting violently vibrating in his phone. Armin.

"Are you and Levi out of the movies yet?" Armin asked when Eren picked up.

"Uhh, yeah. We're on our way to his apartment right now,"

"I need you two to come back,"

"What? Why?" Eren looked over at Levi, concern seeping in his voice, "is something wrong?"

"No, but we have to talk to you and Levi,"

"Who's we?"

"Just come back to our room. We'll be waiting here," and he hung up.

"Everything alright?" Levi asked Eren.

"I think we need to go back to my dorm. Armin said they had to talk to us,"
