I'm super sorry for taking this long! I really didn't mean to, at first I was working on my finals then I got a job. Anyway I've finally gotten used my new schedule so I made some time to write. Although I really hate this chapter (I feels like I just mushed a bunch of shit together) I hope you can find something enjoyable out of it.


The process of waking up is slow and gradual. My senses return one by one, the first being my hearing. From the sound of it today was going to be as wet as yesterday. The soothing melody of rain pelting the windows almost made me reconsider getting up. Though my next sense said otherwise. The air smelled clean, not like a pleasant breeze type of clean, it was the scent of cleaning products.

Some might think I'm crazy for admiring the usually harsh smells. Yet, the scent of a sanitized atmosphere only reminded me of Levi. I may have been drunk yesterday but I remember every second I spent with him. Wanting to touch him I lazily moved my arm under the sheets. When my arm didn't come into contact with anything the first time I tried again. I couldn't feel anything but more sheets.

Maybe I had been more drunk than I initially thought. Maybe everything I remembered never happened. I never kissed Levi and I never slept next to him. When my arm did another sweep for the third time I felt my heart clench in fear. My eyes snapped open and were instantly blinded by the lights on the ceiling.

The sudden attack on my eyes triggered the headache that was sure to appear this morning. I didn't care for the pain since I had other things in mind. Sitting up and blinking my eyes I tried to get a look of the room. Everything was clean and in place. This room looked exactly like the one I had imagined last night. The bed was the same, and looking down at myself I noticed that I wore the same shirt.

My moment of confusion was interrupted when a door opened. The second I saw Levi walk out of the bathroom all my doubts melted away. It wasn't a dream or an alcohol induced hallucination, it really happened, all of it.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked walking up to the bed and climbing back in. I must have looked like a lunatic, I could feel my cheeks pulling taut by my wide smile. Levi reached up setting his palm against my cheek and running his thumb over my bottom lip.

I felt my smile relax as I leaned into his touch. "I could never stop staring at you." His thumb left my lips when I replied. Missing the warmth on my lips when I was done talking I turned slightly to nuzzle his palm.

He gently gripped my face and turned me back to face him completely. "And I you. You're too perfect for me to notice anyone else." His sincere tone pulled every sting attached to my heart. I was instantly overflowing with affection for this man.

I grabbed his hand that was still on my face and placed it on my waist. For a second he looked confused, but then I wrapped my arms around his neck. His other hand came to rest on the opposite side of my waist. We just sat there looking at each other, his eyes never leaving mine. As if some unknown force was pushing us closer we ended up lip to lip. Neither one of us had started the kiss and it was clear neither wanted to break it.

Kissing Levi is the best thing I've ever experienced. His lips are ice cold at the start of a kiss but once they touch mine I can feel the instant warmth. I lean closer and tighten my arms around his neck. He then jerks my hips forwards, pulling me over his legs, which I'm now straddling. The hard pull on my hips and sudden change of position caused me to gasp in the middle of the kiss. Levi used the opportunity to deepen the kiss even further by darting his tongue in.

I could feel my head getting lighter and surrounding myself in a sense of euphoria. We didn't tongue wrestle over dominance for the kiss. I easily handed it to him. The feeling of wanting more, of letting Levi have more of me, is overwhelming. But so is the feeling of uncertainty and doubt. He must have sensed my discomfort because he's pulling away with a serious expression.

"Eren, what's wrongs?" He asks in a deep tone, still breathless from the kiss but he keeps it together.

"I-it's nothing. I just... I mean..." I stumble, lacking the composure he has and also the breath. To be honest I don't know how to tell him what's bothering me. It's a little more than embarrassing to say something like this to anyone. He doesn't say anything, waiting for me to catch my breath and tell him what's on my mind. His intense gaze and my next words promptly redden my cheeks. "Well it's just that I've never been-"

"You've never been with a man." He abruptly cuts in.

"Yeah, wait no. Thats not what I was gonna say." This was getting very awkward and even more embarrassing. "I've never been in a relationship before. With a man or woman. I was always too busy and no one really caught my eye. So I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what this is. I don't know what we are. I'm just really confused as to the whole-"

He cut me off again, but this time I'm glad he did. For one, by that point I was rambling non-stop and I didn't even know what I was going to say next. The other thing was that he shut me up with another kiss. This one was softer than the others we've had before, I don't think it could even be considered a kiss.

When he pulled away he was looking at me with a softer expression than before. "Don't worry you'll figure it out." He said then picked me up off his lap with no effort at all. I was back on the stop I woke up in and he was getting out of bed and heading towards to door.

"Where are you going?" I asked, a little worried that I might have done or said something wrong.

"I'm getting your things from Armin's room." He replied back as casually as ever. In a moment of confusion my very intelligent follow up question happened to be a simple 'huh?'. Levi then turned to face me with another serious expression. "Well if my boyfriend's going to be sleeping here from now on, why not just have him move in."

I've noticed that he likes to see my face when I smile. Everytime he sees me smile he has a special look on his face that's full of affection. Levi is wearing that expression right now, because the second I hear the word boyfriend I burst with happiness and my face must be showing it. There are no words to express how happy I feel when I'm with Levi.


The weekend went by faster than I had hoped. Spending my days with Levi have definitely made them go by faster than expected. My classes officially start today which has be feeling anxious and excited at the same time. I can't even tell the difference between the two right now. Mostly do to the fact that I'm staring into the hypnotic whirlpools that are Levi's eyes.

We're currently sitting at the corner table with our breakfast between us. He's reviewing over the details Erwin talked about yesterday. They were minor reminders about keeping an eye on any suspicious people and how to alert them if something happened. I wasn't paying attention since I heard all of this the day before and was instead trying to find the different shades of blue behind his steal gaze.

"Eren, I know your not listening." His voice suddenly rose in volume.

"What? Why do you say that?" I asked a little embarrassed that I had been caught.

"Well, for one, I've been calling out your name for a whole minute and you've been blankly staring at me with a look of utter constipation." Trying to hide my blazing cheeks I ducked my head and mumbled out a quite 'sorry'. "Whatever brat. Are you ready to go?" He asked in a softer tone. After a few days as a couple I have grown used to nickname as a term of endearment. Even though he calls others brats, mine has affection behind the word.

I look up at him with my cheeks still holding a pink hue. "Yeah, lets go." I replied with more excitement than anyone going to school should have. I've noticed that my childlike behavior always brings a bit of happiness to Levi's mood. My burst of excitement and wide grin are enough to pull a corner of his lips into a smirk.

"Come on." He said getting up from his chair. I followed his lead and reached for his hand when we made it out of the dinning room. It took him a while to get used to my open shows of affection but he's gotten used to them by now. He adjusts our hands into a more comfortable hold and gives me a light squeeze. That little grip on my hand sends a shock through my arm and I feel my heart pulse rapidly in response.

Levi may be my first boyfriend, relationship, what ever you want to call it. Not first kiss, Mikasa kind of beat him to that when we were four. And the word lover hasn't been introduced yet, but I hope to change that soon. Even though we haven't moved passed heavy make-out sessions I know that I could never do this with anyone else. Levi is the only person I want to experience my first and last everything with.

We were still holding hands when we reached the first floor. Mikasa and Armin were already waiting for me by a car I had never seen before. It was a sleek baby blue with white-wall tires that matched the vanilla leather inside. Marco was having a look under the hood while excitedly talking to Armin. The blue car was apparently the center of attention. Especially when it was compared the black and gray cars around it.

"Good morning!" I called out to them with a huge grin on my face. They all turned around at the same time and I received big smiles back. Mikasa and Armin were smiling because they were as excited as I was. Marco, on the other hand, is just a nice guy who will smile under any circumstances. He's easily made his way into my circle of friends. Almost everyone here has, with the exception of Jean. That horseface is still holding my patience by a thread.

"So this is your grandfathers car?" Levi directly asked Armin when we got closer to them. Armin replied with a quick nod of his head and a hum of affirmation. Earlier in the week we had discussed how we would arrive at the school without being recognized by the Titans. Armin had offered to borrow his grandfathers car which hadn't been used in five years.

Levi gave the car another look over and nodded back at Armin. "He has good taste." Came a rare appraisal which Armin beamed at. Any praise coming from Levi shouldn't be taken lightly. You'd probably only get one word of acknowledgment from him in your whole lifetime. "Alright stop stalling and get going. You're going to be late on the first day."

Shit, he was right. Marco closed the hood while Mikasa and Armin got into the car. Armin in the drivers seat and Mikasa in the back. This left the passenger seat open for me. I was about to walk over to the car when Levi pulled on our still conjoined hands. Turning around to look at him, I realized I was about to leave without saying anything to him.

I smiled sheepishly and stepped closer towards him. "Bye Levi, I'll see you later." I said moving in for a kiss. He leaned forward to meet my lips halfway. No matter how many times we've kissed over the past few days I still can't contain the burst of emotions that boils over every time. We could hear the groans of irritation but we didn't acknowledge them until the second we pulled apart.

Now that I wasn't preoccupied with Levi I felt a little self conscious and ignited into a blush. Levi gave me his signature smirk and patted me on the cheek. "Good Luck." He said as he turned back towards the staircase.

I got into the passenger seat still blushing. What was even more uncomfortable was the awkward silence I was getting from Mikasa and Armin. It feels like I'm always the one to speak up. "What is it?"

"Nothing!" Mikasa replied a little to quick for my liking. Armin began to pull the car out of the garage as a way to avoid answering.

"Really?" I pushed on. "Nothing at all?"

The only replies were a muttered mess of hums. So I decided to be more straight forward. "I've been wondering, what do you guys think of me and Levi getting together?"

Armin managed to look even more uncomfortable he already did, and Mikasa was ominously quite. Neither of them gave me an answer, not a sound. This has been gnawing at my nerves for a while now. I seriously wanted to know what their opinion was on my relationship.

It felt like the silence was a tangible object stabbing at my ears. After a few minutes we came to a red light. Armin swooped in like an angel and finally gave me what I wanted. "I think it's great. You both seem happier now that your together." He said all of this while looking me in the eye. The sincerity behind his words meant everything to me.

Mikasa chose the next few seconds to voice her answer as well. "Eren, I've known you since before we were born, and you know that I love you. I've known Levi for more than half my life, and I love him just as much. Seeing you two happy is the best thing I'll ever have. It's just..."

"What? It's just what?" I blurted out the second she trailed off.

"It's just... Could you... I don't know... Maybe do all of that love crap when I'm not around to see it." Mikasa stumbled until she finally voiced her discomfort. I wanted to laugh, but I managed to hold it back.

That is, until Armin replied to her comment. "That goes for me as well. I really don't want to see that again."

"Ha, ha, alright. I guess I could make that work." I tried assuring them, but failing as I chuckled the whole time. Without realizing it we had arrived at the parking lot of Sina University. My laughter died down at the same time the car did. We all reached for our things and opened the doors at a synchronized speed.

We stood close to the car looking up at the school. "Hey, I just want you guys to know that I really appreciate you telling me your feelings. It meant a lot to me." Mikasa and Armin stared at me as they processed my appreciation. They simply smiled at me and Mikasa affectionately tugged at my sleeve.

"Come on, we don't want to be late on the first day." Armin said over his shoulder as he walked ahead of us. The closer I got to the school the more it terrified me. The reality that I wasn't a kid anymore. Not that I had a normal childhood to being with. College is a big step, it leads to adulthood, and brings with it responsibilities and expectations from the people around me. Most likely my parents and their colleagues.

As I take my seat in between Mikasa and Armin I ponder at my future. Even though It's a few years away I'm still scared of the weight I'll soon harbor. But right now I'm thankful that Mikasa and Armin are here, next to me. And eternally grateful, because I know that no matter what I can count on them for anything. It seems that my once little circle of trust is beginning to grow. I can surely say that I trust them and I trust the Survey Corps. Most importantly, I trust Levi.

Thinking of Levi only makes me want to be with him right this second. Well the sooner I get through this class the closer I am to going back to him. I reached into my school bag taking out my History textbook and placed it in front of me. After taking a peek at Armin's area I decided to pull out a notebook and pencil as well.

I had my learning station set and ready to go. All I needed to do know was wait for the damn teacher to show up. Staring at the clock managed to keep me occupied. I imagined that every little tick of the second hand was the teachers foot steps as they walked to class. As I predicted, more like hoped, the door opened at the same time the seconds turned into a minute.

The door was eased open at an agonizingly slow pace. The person that stepped through just made my agony all the more meaningful. The guy was short and very, very fat. No wonder it took him forever to get here. He was also bald with patches of gray hair on the sides. He reached his desk and opened his mouth to introduce himself. The second a syllable past his lips I knew.

This class was by far at the number one spot of the most boring and time consuming. He spoke as if he was trying to put me to sleep. I didn't even hear his name since my attention span lost him at 'Hello class, my...'.

I lowered my head and silently whimpered so no one but myself could hear it. At this rate I might as well expect to see Levi in three days. Why does school have to suck the life out of everything?
