Eren woke up to see the beautiful sight. Soft yellow sunlight was streaming through his room, falling across his bed, where Levi was lying, fast asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. It had not been just a dream. This was all real, Levi did actually love him as much as he did.
"Hello there! Did you enjoy sleeping in?" Armin was standing at the foot of Eren's bed, looking amused.
Eren felt Levi stir next to him, waking up.
"W-what?" The older boy said, somewhat dazed. Then his eyes widened, realizing his surroundings. A blush spread across his face. "No. Uh- It's not what it looks like, Armin."
Eren did not feel embarrassed, but seeing Levi lose his cool was somewhat entertaining. Armin already knew about his feelings for Levi, but Levi didn't know this.
"I think it does..." Armin said, straightening up and crossing his arms.
Levi sat up, trying to regain his composure. "No Armin. I- it's- um.." No matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't find a way out of the situation.
Armin raised an eyebrow. "I know what's going on, I'm not stupid, you know."
Levi shot a nervous glance at Eren, who gave him a reassuring smile.
"Levi... Eren told me he liked you a long time ago, and you finally falling for him wasn't that much of a surprise. In fact, I think all you needed was a little push..." He glanced at the photo album on the floor.
"You...planned this?" Eren asked.
Armin shrugged. "I guess you could say that."
The two boys stared at him in shock, but both of them were secretly glad Armin had intervened in their relationship. If he hadn't, they would probably still be waiting for the other one to make the first move.
"What? Why are you two looking at me like that?"
"No reason," Eren said dismissively.
Levi was not as willing to change the subject. "So...you took my mom's photo album, knowing what was going to happen? Wait- how did you take it?"
"Well, I knew it was going to make something happen. But never mind that! Eren, you have a class to go to! Did you forget?"
Eren jumped out of bed and raced to the sink to wash his face. "Oh shit!"
Levi got out of bed and straightened the sheets, then frowned. "Hey, Eren can I make your bed?...It's kind of a mess."
Eren, too busy putting on clothes in the bathroom, didn't hear. Armin answered instead. "Go ahead Levi, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"You're right." He continued to make the bed neat.
Some Time Later...
"Eren, are you okay? You look a little off today" Mikasa asked, concern etched on her face.
Eren nodded. "I'm fine...I'm just thinking." He glanced outside the coffee shop window, and to his dismay, it was not snowing.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." But the truth was, something wouldn't leave his head. Did everything that happened yesterday mean that Levi and Eren were in a romantic relationship, or did it need to be more 'official'? He guessed that they were in some sort of relationship now, but he was too nervous to ask Levi for confirmation. What if he said no? What would the events of yesterday mean?
Mikasa was not convinced. She knew something was bothering him, but couldn't place her finger on it. The last time she had seen him, he was perfectly fine. Though he did mention hanging around Levi earlier...
If she couldn't get Eren to say anything, then she would have to ask Levi.
Author's Note:
Sorry for the short chapter, I know where I'm going with this and this will just be the backbone for the next chapter which will be longer.
