A/N) I kept thinking I was super behind on posting this, but I wasn't. It's been about a week so I am doing good. Wording this is getting difficult, especially when I have ideas coming a mile a minute and my poor fingers can't keep up! Thank you so much to all the people who are new to my story. When I see new favs and follows it just brings great joy to know people want to see where this is going! Also to all my reviewers, you guys are so awesome! It really brightens my day up. Deeper and deeper this fic goes and we aren't even at a climax yet, I don't think. To be honest, I am just as shocked as all of you when I write each chapter! Warning there is implied smut but its nothing to heavily detailed (Sorry yaoi fans) Enjoy chapter 10 (I cant believe it's already gotten to this point! This is getting to be my longest story to date. Man I suck!)
The pure anticipation of seeing Levi again, had Eren's day passing by at a snail's pace. His body was practically humming with excitement. Deep down, behind the initial excitement was guilt, but Eren wanted to bury that down and enjoy the now. He managed to sneak in a break between classes, to see Levi. He looked so sexy standing there in his expensive suit, but he also looked bored. Maybe, slightly annoyed, when Hange started to bother him. He also rolled his eyes at the "dumb as shit college kids." That was his Levi though.
Finally, by the grace of someone, two o'clock finally got there, and Eren stayed with Levi while he finished up. A big smile was plastered on his face. He loved to be around Levi, and honestly, one of them had to smile.
Levi turned to Eren when the last kid left "What do you say to going out for coffee instead of doing it here?"
"I hope we won't "do it" here Levi, but a coffee date sounds good. Let me get changed."
"You are such a brat." Levi sighed "I'll go get my car, and meet you out front. It's on the other side of this damn campus."
Eren laughed "See you then." He kissed Levi on the cheek, and took off for his dorm.
When he opened the door, Armin was there. "O-oh, hey Armin. What are you up too?" He said nervously.
Armin was slightly bent at the waist, clad only in boxers. His back was to Eren, and he smirked. "Getting stuff together. I have a date tonight," He stood straight, and turned to face Eren "with Boris."
A dark shadow crossed Eren's face, but he shook it off "Good. I'm happy for you. I have a date too, with Levi."
"Fantastic, have a great time. I don't know when I'll be back."
"Neither do I. I might not come back." Eren was lying through his teeth. He had strong doubts Levi would allow him to stay during the week. But Armin was playing the game Eren was familiar with.
Jealousy.
Eren stripped off his clothes, and searched for something more suitable than bummy college clothes. He smirked when he heard Armin suck in a breathe. He quickly dressed in some nice clothes, and turned to leave "Have fun with Boris, Armin."
"You have fun with Levi, Eren." Armin responded with venom laced in his voice. He watched Eren leave with slitted, glaring eyes. When the door shut he growled "Stupid cocky son of a bitch!"
Eren jogged down the stairs, with a permanent smirk across his face. Armin was probably livid at this point. When he got in to Levi's Mustang, he was still smirking.
"What's got you feeling like hot shit, brat?" Levi asked.
"My shitty roommate can't take what he dishes out"
"Isn't this roommate the same one you claimed to be confused about?"
"Yes." The smirk fell, and Eren stared at the floorboard. He had been, pretty much, a straight up ass to Armin, and offered no apologies. He didn't stop to think how Armin might feel about all of this. Yup, Eren was feeling like scum again "I just...I don't know," Eren said, as Levi listened and drove "I really like you Levi, but I'm afraid if we aren't serious, I need a back up plan."
"Would it help if I said I wanted to be serious?" Levi asked.
Eren blushed, and looked over at Levi "What?"
"What if I wanted to make you my boyfriend, brat?"
"I-I-I..." it seemed Eren couldn't put anything in to words. Yeah, he would love to be serious with Levi, but what about Armin. Armin hadn't dated anyone, ever, since they started their awkward partnership. He didn't want to totally devastate Armin, by being in an official relationship. It was hard looking at Levi's blushing face. He was so cute, and Eren wanted to jump on the offer. What if it was...
"Is this a hypothetical question?" Eren asked.
"Brat, do you even know what hypothetical means?"
"Don't fuck with me old man! Are you serious right now?"
Levi shrugged and Eren growled, and pulled at his hair in frustration. Even more so, when Levi started to chuckle
"It's kind of hypothetical, and maybe sort of not. I'm considering it. I've never been in an actual relationship with a boy, let alone a shitty brat. It might work."
"Woah! Wait! Your failed marriage was with a woman?" He watched Levi nod "I just assumed it was...what?"
"Yes. I was married to a nice girl named, Petra. She got sick of my lack of emotion, and stuff and found it in the arms of another man. I stopped believing in that, bullshit of love conquering all. I found myself lacking in an emotional department, so I must be unlovable. Then I just started looking for a quick fuck, and suddenly found myself responding better to men than women. After some soul searching I discovered myself to be gay."
"Wow..."
"But, I don't know brat. I feel something with you."
"I feel it too Levi. I just don't know what to do. Armin is going out with Boris tonight, and this is the first guy he's ever been with other then me. I know he's hung up on me. I don't think he really likes this guy. I mean, yeah, he's cute or whatever, but he's not Armin's type."
Levi had a great idea "This weekend, let's double date, and blind date."
"What?"
Levi parked the car at their destination "You will go out on a date with me, and bring Armin for a blind date."
"Why? Who? What?" Eren sputtered
"Brat, are you a lawyer? Just shut up, and do what I say. Now, let's stop talking about this, and enjoy some time together."
"Ok, ok." Eren got out of the Mustang. Levi was beside him in seconds, grabbing Eren's hand.
The brunette blushed. He was not used to anyone being so open in a relationship before. Then he realized, he'd never really been in a relationship before. How could he even criticize Levi about not wanting to be serious, when he had never been serious before. Levi had way more experience, being married and stuff. He still questioned why Levi want we to be together, but stopped thinking when Levi wrapped an arm around his waist.
"Stop thinking so much, you'll hurt your brain. Why don't you just relax, and enjoy what we have?"
"How do you seem to read my mind?"
"Do you constantly forget what I do for a living?"
Eren shrugged, as Levi opened the door for him. He loosened up considerably after that, and focused on just how happy he was with Levi around. They enjoyed one another as they had coffee together. When they climbed into Levi's car, Eren realized they weren't on the path a take him home.
"Are we going somewhere? Eren asked dumbly.
"I assumed fighting with your roommate, meant you might not want to go back. Do you want to?"
"No, it's just a weekday...I assumed..."
"Listen, I can take you to school on my way to work. It's on my way, so it's not a big deal. You ever need to get away, I am here."
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it."
After getting to Levi's house, the old man impressed Eren by making an amazing dinner. After dinner, they did the dishes; playfully splashing water, and bantering back and forth. After dishes, Levi took Eren, sexually, on the kitchen table. Then Eren rode Levi in the bed. They took a shower, changed the sheets, and fell asleep. Well, Levi did. Eren cuddled up to that strong chest, and thought about every thing that progressed that day. Levi felt something special with Eren, and he felt the same about Levi, but he couldn't get the thought of Armin out of his head. He was almost certain that he could possibly love Levi, but he couldn't say that about Armin. Armin was his best friend, but he couldn't see them as more than that. He decided that if Armin's date with Boris didn't go spectacularly, then he would take Levi up on the double, blind date. Maybe, just maybe, Eren could help Armin forget about him; because if he couldn't, he would never be able to move on himself.
Little did he know, the little blonde was being seduced into a bed that night, by the one man he thought he would never click with.
