Chapter 21
"Levi you work here?!" Eren exclaimed looking over at raven.
"Ahh, yes. I'll just talk to my boss about a week break and something..." Levi answered nervously.
Fuck, he forgot about this! He literally forgotten about Reckon Corps which is just the one of the number one financial business in the country. When Eren offered to take him to his place, Levi gave the address of Reckon instead of his private condo. It was all the Alpha's fault with all his advance goodbye kisses that made Levi's mind floating on cloud 9.
"I should be going now, I'll keep in touch." Levi smiled, seeing the Alpha gaping in amazement at the building. They're just standing in front but Eren is simply amazed at the sight.
"Okay, I still have to help a friend with his business but I'll be there when you needed me." Eren said, finally ripping his gaze off the building and focused on Levi.
Levi smiled again, this Alpha never failed from making him smile. Hooking his arms on the Alpha's neck he press a kiss on his lips. He doesn't care anymore if they're on public or if his underlings can see him doing such a thing. All he knew is that he'll regret it if he doesn't.
Before they left Eren's house they settled about the incident. They agree to just say what they need to say in one sentence and forget what happened. Eren's one sentence is composed with an apology: a simple 'I'm sorry', reassurance about his recent health and a plea: asking Levi to take him to another date. Levi's one sentence is also compose with a 'I'm sorry' and an answer to Eren plea.
And it worked, they went back from the start like the incident didn't happened at all. They were able to act all the same, well, except the frequent touches and kisses which confirms their mutual feelings for each other. It was like their instincts are acting up on their own, and Levi didn't mind at all because it basically makes the Alpha happy.
After a few feather kisses they wave goodbye and move on separate ways. Levi decided to tell Eren about everything, no more lying, no more cover ups just plain truth. He did mention this to the Alpha and he also had something to tell Levi. Simply they will exchange information when Levi is ready.. but he's not ready yet, he needs to talk to Hange maybe that's the reason why Reckon came to mind instead of his condo. Yes, he needs to apologize to everyone on Reckon. And Eren is okay with this, the Alpha reassured him that Levi will tell his tale when he is comfortable and Eren will listen while Levi will also listen to what he will say too. There plan is like exchange info thingy.
He had a feeling of everyone's eyes on him, probably watching him from the moment they got out of the cab. And he was right, his men was sticking their faces on the glass walls of the entrance, like a deer caught by head lights they scramble way from the entrance and back to whatever it is they're doing. Levi can faintly see Erwin on his office window, the blonde giant slowly backs away from the window like a terrified child caught stealing cookies in the jar.
Levi sigh and massage his temples, he needs to talk to them. He requested everyone's presences afterwards, his people came in a swift, some are trembling, others look paler than a ghost especially mostly Erwin while Hange and Petra are grinning at him. He doesn't do emotional sappy speeches like Erwin so he ends up saying "Everyone, I'm sorry for being a bitch."
Everybody instantly forgave him but they are still trembling and more paler than before. Levi knew why, so he just dismiss everyone except Hange, he can hear everyone breaths after the reached the doors. Did everyone really think that he'll punish them just by 'spying' on him? Idiots. Levi felt pride swell up on him, knowing that his men knew that Eren was his.
"I can't believe you actually watch that video!" Hange shouted at him. She was referring to the 'Kissing for Beginners' video.
"Yeah, it was really helpful. Thanks." Levi never dares to look at her, he knew very well that Hange is smiling like an idiot.
"I'm... going to tell him."
"That's good to hear," he felt a hand rubbing his back. He can't help it, he let his head fell on Hange's shoulder before apologizing again.
"Awww, Oh, our precious Omega. It's alright, you knew too well that I'll forgive you no matter what. And we really hate to see like this, depressed and all. I- We just want you to be happy this time. And I'm glad you're doing this, we all are."
Levi leans fully on her as Hange continues to rub his back.
"YOU'RE SO TINY!" Hange squeals, hugging him hard but the hug didn't last long when the Omega punched her on the gut.
While he watched Hange curled up like a ball in pain his phone rang. Looking up to it he saw Eren's name, he invites Levi to a club to get their heads off of all the stress. Maybe, that is the good time to tell Eren but wait, Eren also mention that some of his friends will be there.
Levi sat next to the curled up Hange. "Hey, I need your advice." He pokes the crazy shit with his phone.
"About what? Sex? Well, you see Levi, first timers will experience a mild pain when-"
"That's not it! Shitty Glasses!"
"Oh, then what?" Hange asked curiously while push herself into sitting position.
"Eren invited me to clubbing."
"Oh, that's fun! You should go!"
"But-but his friends will be there!"
"So? You'll be fine. Just be youself and if they don't like you they have to deal with it."
"That's not just it, because I was planning to tell him."
"During that time?"
"Is it okay? You think is not the right place?"
"If your ready then just wait for the DJ to change the song into a sweet one, surely Eren will invite you to dance, then that's the time you'll tell him."
"Ummm... Okay, I'll try I guess."
"Don't rush. Is Eren pushing you with this?"
"No."
"That's good. I knew he was the right guy for you~ If he dares to hurt by flirting with some waitress or something, I will surely-" Hange cracks her knuckles and equips her dark side.
"Hange." Levi warned, instantly Hange returned to her usual self.
"Sorry! But back to the telling part, though I just suggest that you shouldn't rush but it is really better to tell so everything will be settled."
"You're right. I'll tell him." Levi told himself, voice full of determination.
'I can't tell him!' Levi almost want to rip the hem of his shirt as his fingers fiddle with it from the moment they step into the club. He can't bring himself to tell the Alpha plus the sweet music is not coming at all! (Damn it Hange!)
Neon lights dance with the people on then floor, upbeat music booms on the speakers, and most of all: filthy things kept coming to Levi. The foul scents of alcohol, the germs on the chair, table, floor, and air. They are everywhere! Why did Levi even agreed to go a club in the first place?!
Oh, right. He needs to tell Eren.
Good thing the Omega felt safe with Eren's arm is possessively drape on his shoulder, the display kept away the gross smelling Alphas away and also (in Levi's sight) from the raven.
"Hey, Levi you should try this it's soooo good!" Eren's bald friend- Connie, pushed a glass at him.
"No, I don't drink."
"Aw, come on!"
Levi thinks hard about the offer. It is quite rude to not go with the flow with Eren's friends, all of them were so nice to him and it hurts to decline such offer with their pleading face. Maybe just for to day, Levi also remembers what Hange told him about alcohol: the drink can give you courage. Maybe alcohol can help him confess to Eren. Not just about him being a mafia boss but also his true feelings to the Alpha.
Levi accepts the drink and gulp it down in one go. He cringe at the gross aftertaste, blinking several times; he saw Eren looking down at him, clearly the brunet is worried. Levi giggles while poking on the Alpha's nose.
"Eren is cute." The words just came out of him.
