A/n) Seriously, everyone has blown me with all the follows and favs. I couldn't ask for more! Well, welcome to chapter 3! My writing is seriously taken new heights, I can't stop, and I have so much joy doing it again. This chapter got lengthy, but the ones that came here for the yaoi won't have to wait much longer! Just until next chapter. Until then, enjoy the date.
Eren stood in front of a mirror. His arms crossed, staring at the one girl on his bed, and the one person digging through his drawers. Hange and Mikasa offered to help him pick out an outfit. Well, more like Hange fireman carried him into his room. Hange started rummaging through his drawers as soon as the door was opened, and had placed Eren on the floor.
"Hange! Would you just let me do it?" Eren yelled.
"No can do Eren. You are the first person Levi has expressed interest in, in a long time." Hange said pulling out clothes. "Here."
Eren had a pair of khaki pants hit his face. "This isn't a big deal. It's just an apology dinner, or whatever." Eren whined.
Mikasa stared at him with a blank face. "Eren, Hange says it's a date. Obviously, he expressed some interest."
"What Mikasa means is, stuff your butt in those pants!" Hange cackled while opening the closet door. "How did I know you would have a forest green top? Perfect! Wear this too!" Eren had the shirt flung towards him.
He sighed, and put the shirt on and buttoned it up. He didn't bother tucking it in.
"Belt." Hange tossed it on the bed "Shiny black shoes" Hange tossed those too. "Oh, you look perfect! Levi is going to eat you up!"
Eren's ears went pink "What if I'm just doing this because I'm a poor college kid offered a free meal?"
Now they both gave him a blank look.
"Eren," Hange started "He kissed you."
"Wait? They kissed? Why didn't you tell me this?" Mikasa asked.
Eren was eternally grateful Armin decided to go study with Connie "It was on impulse, ok?"
"His bright red face says something else." Hange cackled again.
Eren heard his phone go off, and looked at it "Levi is here. I have to go."
He let Mikasa and Hange out, and locked the door behind him
"Have fun Eren." Mikasa said, and gave him a hug.
"Not too much fun. But if you do, just use protection." Hange said with a laugh.
Eren blushed "Goodbye, psycho." And with that, he ran down the stairs to get away from them.
He walked outside, and his eyes widened. Why did he expect anything different? Of course an attorney who eats at fancy restaurants, and offers to buy him things would have a fancy car. A 1975 cherry red convertible Ford Mustang to be exact. With Levi sitting in the drivers seat looking bored, as usual.
Eren tentatively walked up to the car "H-hi Levi."
"Get in, brat."
Eren stared at the car. He was afraid just a touch from his hands might scratch it. Levi sighed, and rolled his eyes. He got out, walked around the front, and opened the door for Eren. He repeated himself "Get in, brat."
Eren smiled in an apologetic manner, and sat in the car. He buckled up, folded his hands in his lap, and sat straight backed. He didn't want to risk touching anything.
Levi got back in the car, and it roared to life. Something about it sent shivers down Eren's spine. He needed to make small talk,
"So, where are we headed?" The delightful vibrations the car made traveling down the highway, was almost too much.
"Nice little restaurant. Similar to where you work. This one is Wall Maria. I hope you like Italian. Three sisters own the chain."
"Oh yeah, that's right. There is Wall Sina, Wall Rose, and Wall Maria. The sisters each specialized in different food, and opened three different restaurants across Shinganshina. They took their maiden name, Wall, and added their birth name."
"Well, you aren't a total idiot."
Eren blushed. Why was he putting up with this verbal abuse? He shouldn't have agreed to this. He knew it would be like this. But he felt oddly drawn in by everything Levi did.
"Actually, I learned it during orientation. Part of it was learning the restaurants history. I picked Sina just because it was close to school."
Levi made a noncommittal noise. "Listen, sorry if I'm brash. I get that way when I'm nervous."
"I figured you were like that all the time." Eren then processed the rest of what Levi said "Why are you nervous?"
Levi switched gears "You look really nice in that shirt."
Eren looked out the window to hide his smile. He would have to thank Hange later for the good advice.
Not much else was said. They arrived at the restaurant, and Levi threw his keys to a valet.
"Aren't you afraid they will scratch, or crash it? Maybe take it on a joy ride?" Eren asked.
"They scratch or crash it, they buy me a fucking new one. They joy ride it, I'll take someones ass to court. So no, I don't worry. Come on."
There was a crowd of people there. Levi grabbed Eren's hand, and pulled him through the throng of people. Eren subconsciously grabbed Levi's hand tightly, as he weaved in and around.
They reached the podium, and a pretty blonde stood there
"Oh, hi Levi." She said followed by a flirtatious giggle "There is a long wait today."
"I have a reservation for two today."
She looked at they roster "Well, so you do. Right this way. Will you be waiting for the other party?"
"No, I have the brat right here." Levi tugged Eren's hand to pull him closer.
"Oh!" She looked at their entwined hands, and briefly her face fell. She shook it off, and led them to a table "Your waiter will be with you shortly." She shot Eren a glare, and walked away with a huff.
"I think she likes you..." Eren said.
"And?" Levi asked searching the wine list "I'm here with you. I don't give a damn, even if she threw herself in my lap."
"Good Afternoon, Levi!" A smartly dressed waiter said walking up. He saw Eren, and quickly added "And to you too sir. What can I get you to drink.
"A bottle of white wine for us both, and two glasses of water."
"Not a problem. I know Levi is old enough, but can I see your ID sir?"
Eren dug out his wallet, and showed it to the waiter.
"Looks good. Mind if I call you Eren?"
"No, that's fine." Eren replied.
"Great. Well, I'm Marlo, and I'll be right back with your drinks."
As he walked off Eren looked at Levi "Apparently, you are well known here. I'm not the only person who you make call Levi."
Levi looked up, and quirked an eyebrow up. That was jealousy written all over Eren's expression "My work is close to here, so I come here a lot. I hate being called sir when I'm not at work. You're the only brat I've ever taken out on a date, if that eases your obviously twisted panties."
Eren's ears went red, and he buried himself into the menu. Marlo came up with both waters, and shortly after that he filled both their glasses with the wine.
"Are you ready to order?"
"Just a little longer please." Levi answered nicely.
"Of course." Marlo smiled and walked off.
Eren read over all the Italian words on the menu. Everything sounded delicious, but the prices were really insane.
Levi must have been psychic "You make sure you order whatever you want, brat. Price is no object."
"I just...why did you bring me somewhere like this, everything is so expensive. I'm just a shitty brat." Eren said softly.
Levi put his menu down, and focused his steely grey eyes on Eren "Because, even if you're a shitty brat, you're my brat. I wanted to show you off."
Eren's face lit up "Your brat? Show me off? What?"
Levi wasn't able to answer as Marlo walked back up. "Ready?"
They ordered their meals, and Eren took a long drink of wine to calm his nerves. He looked up, and froze from the look those eyes were giving him.
"Well, we are out together right now. So as of now, yes, my brat. You are a good looking kid so I feel like hot shit with you as my arm candy."
"Oh..."
"Don't read too much into things, Eren.
Eren shivered as Levi said his name. He cast caution to the wind "Do you like me?"
Levi smirked "Like is a broad word." he laced his fingers together, and laid his head on them "I like you enough to bring you out to learn more about you. So, tell me about yourself."
"Well, alright. My name is Eren Jaeger. I'm a twenty one year old student attending Shinganshina University. I am an only child. My father wanted me to be a doctor, but after two years in medical school, I hated it. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life."
Levi sat there taking it all in. He liked Eren. His beautiful eyes, his messy hair, his voice, everything. Yes, Eren was much younger than him, but something about him just attracted Levi's immediate attention.
"So, what are you doing in college if you don't know what you want to do in your life?"
"Taking my basic courses, and dabbling here and there. I have an art course that I love, but I can't make a life off of that, so it's more for fun."
"If it's something you love, then you should find some real world application to apply your talent too. Police sketches, or maybe even court room sketches."
Eren's eyes went wide "Things like that exist?"
Levi chuckled "Yes, brat. Things like that exist."
Marlo came up, and set their plates down "Can I get you anything else?"
"No, we're fine Marlo, thank you." Levi said waving his hand dismissively.
Marlo took the hint, and high tailed it out of the area.
The two ate in silence for awhile. Eren was still thrumming at the thought of applying art in a real life sense.
Levi began talking "You know me. I'm Levi Ackerman, the prosecuting attorney for this area. I'm thirty five years old. I always knew I wanted to yell at people, and get them thrown in jail my whole life. I am a natural born leader, and want to be the best and the strongest."
Eren listened intently while devouring his plate. The look Levi had was different from his normally stoic face. His grey eyes were, dare he say, sparkling in happiness. The look made Eren's heart beat quicken. One question was weighing on his mind "What does someone as amazing as you, want to do with a college kid like me?"
Levi looked intently Eren, and sighed heavily "I don't know. Something about you, I just, can't describe it. You are captivating, brash, honest. Not to mention your tight jeans are very eye pleasing."
Eren blushed and then jumped when his phone went off. "Shit, I'm sorry!" He gave Levi an apologetic smile, before pulling out his phone. It was Armin, asking very coldly about what he wanted for snacks this week. Most people can't tell over text if someone is angry, but with Armin, Eren could. He text a reply, and sighed heavily.
Levi was curious, but he only stayed quiet as they continued to eat. Now they ate in silence. Eren wasn't looking forward to going home. Mikasa would want details, and Armin would be irritable.
Levi finally spoke "Is everything alright?"
"It's my...roommate. He doesn't like that I'm out with you. Now, when I get home, I'll be stuck between a girl who wants details, and an angry boy. I'm not looking forward to going back."
"If it's not too forward, you can stay at my place." He saw the look Eren gave him and he smirked "Not like that, brat. I mean you can stay, sleep on my couch, and stay with me. Tomorrow is Sunday. I assume you don't have school, I don't have work, and we can get breakfast. I'm not asking you to have sex with me."
A piece of Eren, a very large piece, wanted Levi to show a little normality, and ask him to have sex. Levi hardly knew him, and yet he acted like he trusted Eren with his life. Now, Eren wanted to trust Levi with his backside. He had to give this man a reason to know Eren wanted him, bad.
When they finished eating, Marlo was removing their plates trying to entice them with dessert. When they refused, he dropped the bill on the table. Levi saw Eren shift and glared
"Don't even think we are going dutch, brat. My money, my treat, and for God's sake, don't argue."
Eren was going to retort, but the commanding tone made him close his mouth. After a few seconds, he rolled his eyes with a "Yes commander Levi."
Something about the way he said that, sent heat coursing through Levi's veins, but he quickly ignored it. He paid the bill, and looked at Eren "So, where am I taking you?"
Eren blushed "Your house, I guess."
They got in the Mustang, and Levi really looked, stared, at the boy next to him as he started the car "You don't have to if you don't want to. I'll tell you again, you don't owe me anything."
Levi had misread Eren's face. He was thinking how to get Levi to want him. Eren was fed up with this, he leaned over to Levi, and grabbed his chin forcing their eyes to meet.
"I want to go home with you," he purred deviously "and I want you to take everything you want. Make me owe you breakfast in the morning, Levi." He connected their mouths.
It was like a dam had burst, and Levi was now kissing Eren deeply and wildly. He was pulling his hair to push his tongue farther into the boy's mouth, wanting to taste every inch. They broke apart, and the attorney had never seen anything more beautiful than fluttering aquamarine eyes, and pink cheeks.
"That was...unexpected." Eren said with a laugh. He sat back down in his seat.
Levi smirked "Yeah? So is this." And Levi sped all the way back to his place.
