Even though Levi heard the coach tell them to change, he made no movement towards doing that. It was still way too early in the morning to be trying any sort of movement other than what was strictly required. He leaned his head back against his locker and closed his eyes, trying but failing to block out the sounds of laughter and fabric floating through the room.

Eren also didn't make any movements to change, but he didn't mainly because he felt extremely awkward. He looked over at a few of his friends, Reiner and Bert, they were both changing with no problem whatsoever. They were talking and laughing, and Eren was pretty sure he saw some flirting going on, but he was still amazed that no one felt the slightest bit awkward changing around each other.

Gym had always been a shitty class for Eren due to his modesty and general dislike of showing some skin around other people. That time of changing right in front of Levi was a humongous exception to Eren's uncomfortableness with dressing.

The ten minutes of specified time to change slowly trickled away until about half the time was left to get their asses out to the gym and run. Only four people remained in the locker room, Eren, Levi, one of Eren's friends named Connie, and surprisingly enough Jean's freckled boyfriend Marco.

Marco ran out of the room after smiling at Eren, and Eren smiled back somewhat uncertainly. The guy did look genuinely sweet, so Eren cut him some slack on dating horse-face. Connie was busy eating some kind of candy, and he suddenly looked at his phone to check the time. Connie ran out of the locker room right after Marco, muttering something about not getting to finish his Skittles.

Four minutes left to change and Eren and Levi were all alone in that locker room.

Levi eventually took his head off the locker when he realized that the room was silent and quickly realized that it was only him and Eren in there.

It shouldn't have been awkward had they just had friendly feelings towards each other, and even with their crushes on each other it shouldn't have been too awkward since they were roommates for goodness sake.

However, since their feelings for each other were most definitely more than friendly the atmosphere changed into a tense and extremely awkward (even more awkward than changing around people) silence.

Eren scratched his head, pretending to fix his hair even though he knew there was no hope for it. Levi repeatedly shuffled his feet and looked at the ground. They easily could have moved away from each other to change in peace, but neither really wanted to go away from the other.

Eren stared down the bench in front of him and suddenly turned so red that strawberries didn't have shit on the color of his face. Eren's thoughts had turned drastically sexual and the picture he envisioned involved bending Levi over the bench and fucking him on the spot. Eren squeezed his eyes shut and struggled to control his breathing while silently urged his dick to stop getting hard.

Levi noticed the ridiculously red blush and breathing issues. His curiosity got the better of him and some confidence somehow reached his mind. Mentally saying fuck it, just fuck it, Levi reached his hand out to touch Eren's face.

Eren gasped at the sudden contact and his eyes snapped open, his face turning a deeper red (how that was possible we may never know) and his breathing increased.

"Do you have a fever? You look a bit flushed there, brat" Levi said, his tone completely sarcastic and face utterly blank.

"N-no, I don't have a fever…I-I-I'm fin-e" Eren stuttered out, unable to move away from the hand on his face and the person it belonged to.

"Well, then why are you blushing darker than a tomato? What's on your mind, Eren?" Levi replied, pushing his face closer to Eren's to try to intimidate him into telling him what the fuck he was thinking. Levi said the second question quieter than the first, and his voice got all husky when he said Eren's name.

Yes this was purposeful, so very purposeful. Eren was obviously under some sort of sexual tension, and Levi was more than happy to join into that tension. His voice getting husky when he said Eren's name was not something he specifically planned on, but it seemed to have the desired effect.

Eren shuddered, his dick completely disobeying his silent plea of staying soft, and it stood fully erect. The bulge in his pants was quite noticeable and Eren's face refused to turn a normal shade.

"It's n-othing, rea-lly" Eren replied, still stuttering ridiculously. He cast his gaze down to the ground, Levi's hand stayed on his cheek though.

Levi was so tempted to just reach out and grab the bulge in Eren's pants, but was afraid he'd get slapped so instead he moved the hand on Eren's face to tilt his chin up and force Eren to look him in the eyes.

"I highly doubt that it was nothing, Eren. If it was nothing, then your dick wouldn't be trying to pop out of your pants and you would be a slightly normal color. What the fuck are you thinking about that caused you to look like this?!" Levi's voice was forceful and commanding, and somehow Eren couldn't just maneuver his way out of Levi's very specific question.

"I had a random thought…and it was a very- umm..inappropriate one…and it involved….you.. and m-me" Eren answered Levi's question, staring him straight in the face and trying his best not to do the deed Eren had fantasized about.

"Care to explain this…thought?" Levi replied, not surprised at Eren's response one bit, but slightly frustrated that no details were given.

Now it was Eren's turn to mentally say fuck it, just fuck it all and he said "It was a fantasy that just popped into my head of bending you over this bench and fucking you"

Eren's words blended together in a rushed sentence, but Levi understood completely what he said. Levi felt himself getting hard at the idea.

"Now that's the kind of answer I was looking for. The thought isn't an unpleasant one, in fact the idea of you bending me over this bench and fucking me is pretty damned exciting" Levi replied, his voice all sorts of fucked up due to his bonerific state.

Eren was shocked at the bluntness of Levi's response, even though he really shouldn't have been.

In a beautiful response to Levi, Eren (for the second time!) said fuck it all and crashed his lips down on Levi's. The kiss was sudden but wonderful and the moan that came out of Levi's mouth when their lips collided was a beautiful sound to Eren.

Very quickly, hands were knotted in each other's hair and the passionate kiss escalated when Levi thrust his tongue out to lick Eren's lower lip, begging for entrance into his mouth.

Eren's immediate mouth opening was much needed and very soon a battle for dominance raged between their tongues, each guy passionately exploring the other's mouth.

When they both finally pulled back from the kiss, both had eyes glazed over with pleasure.

"I've been wanting to do that since the day I met you" Eren whispered to Levi, his voice rough.

"Same here" Levi replied, smiling at Eren with a lovely blissful expression.

Eventually they separated from each other enough to change into their gym clothes, rushing quick kisses throughout the changing process.

The looks that they gave each other were so full of happiness that when they finally emerged from the locker room (about ten minutes later than the specified time of exiting the room) all of Eren's friends and several other people openly stared at the change in both of their demeanors.

Both boys had pink-ish faces, slightly shitty hair, and expressions of pure joy, and the love that they showed each other was so beautifully obvious.

Somehow the shitty hour of working out turned into a wonderful way of starting the day, and throughout each class they thought about each other non-stop.

Both were thinking the exact same thing:

I love him.
