I'm sorry this one took a while. I recently got my internet turned back on (it hasn't been on since May) and I basically went on an internet binge, tearing me away from my fanfiction. Now that that's out of my system and I can focus again ha-

I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin nor it's characters

Chapter 5

"Eren, I think...that was the worst line I have ever heard in my life." Levi's cheeks were stuffed between his teeth as he tried to hold back a smile that fought with the rest of his appearance.

"I didn't mean for it to sound lame!" Eren's heart raced at the embarrassment, his face shadowed with red. "I just...really like you." His words reached Levi and warmed the chilled breeze. Eren took Levi's previous spot in front of the black Camry. He patted the open spot next to him, urging Levi to sit.

Reluctantly, Levi plopped onto the concrete platform besides Eren. He stared at the lit up building he had passed by so many times before. Out of the corner of his eye he could make out Eren watching him.

"Why are you grinning like that?" Levi asked facing Eren.

Eren reached for Levi's hand folded on his lap. He tangled his fingers in between the smaller ones and latched onto them tightly. Eren released a slow exhale of breath and raised his head to smile softly at the night sky blanketed with stars.

"I'm smiling because I'm happy," He looked back to Levi. "My thoughts have been filled with this."

"This?" Levi repeated.

"This, meaning us, more specifically, meaning you," Eren's head fell and his smiled disappeared. "Somewhere in between now and when we first met, my thoughts took a turn and spiraled in a direction I didn't know they could take."

Levi watched Eren shuffling his foot over the black concrete, nudging a few rocks in the process.

"Once my dad mentioned you and asked me to compare you with my other friends, it dawned on me that you were different and that I like you differently...Wait." Eren groaned and smoothed his free hand over his face. "I knew my dad was hinting at something but I never stopped to think about it until now."

"What are you talking about?"

"My dad knows." Eren shook his head slightly and let out a strained sigh. "He knows how I feel about you."

"How do you know?" Levi furrowed his eyebrows and arched forward so Eren could meet his stare.

Eren sat up straight and nervously began stammering. "It was probably because I...uh I spent longer than I care to admit, just staring at you while you and my dad were working." Eren unlinked his hand from Levi's and rubbed his face with both hands.

Levi pressed his lips into a thin line and his face became fervent as Eren uttered out more embarrassing words. "Well, did he seem angry?" Levi asked, sitting back up.

"No, but..."

'He did say it was fine as long as I didn't understand this myself. Although I'm not too sure what that means, I'll keep it to myself.'

"If he's not then it's fine right?"

"Right," Eren left his stare on the concrete as the thoughts of his dad jumbled around in his head. "Right." The approving reply slipped again off of his tongue without any thought.

Levi heaved a sigh and flattened his hand onto the cemented curb. He lifted himself up and placed an easeful kiss on Eren's cheek.

Eren's mind cleared of his worries and his face lit up with half excitement and half disappointment. Levi had stood up and was walking away now, back towards the building.

"Where are you going?" Eren asked trying to conceal any hint of desperation in his voice.

"My food is probably cold now and you have a job to return to." Levi stopped and twisted back just enough to see Eren. "Don't let this distract you. We'll talk about it again later." He started walking again leaving Eren to follow behind, still caught up in the moment. It was a little late to warn him about distractions.

Eren made his way to the back door after watching Levi enter through the front. He stepped inside and held his stomach. If the tingling feeling didn't go away soon, this would be a long and disastrous night.

A loud crash echoed through the small restaurant and startled expressions all faced the man who caused it.

Eren hesitantly smiled and crouched down to lift up the podium he had knocked over on accident. He regained his stance and still, everyone rested their attention on him.

"Sorry," He quietly said, retaining the shy smile. Most everyone had turned back to their food now, relieving Eren of some embarrassment but one table of students just wouldn't turn around. Eren's smile drooped and he was left unamused. Hanji, Erwin, and a select other few all gave him beaming grins. He rolled his eyes and met Levi's stare that could easily be read as "I warned you." Eren shook his head and walked back behind the counter.

Levi's friends just looked troublesome in the least troublesome of ways. They seemed mischievous but not hard to get along with. Eren smiled to himself. Everything was out of order. Typically meeting someone came with getting to know them and who they know, then becoming closer. It wasn't meet someone, fall in love within a few days, and then open up their world. That didn't matter to Eren though, how it happened didn't matter at all. He changed out the pen he used to take orders and walked over to another table; A snug family of four. No matter how everything happened, Eren was happy all the same.

Eren swung his apron over his shoulder and closed the restaurant door behind him.

"Ready to go home?" The squirmy feeling in Eren's stomach returned.

"What are you doing here?" Eren gawked at the man in front of him. Levi's group had left hours ago. Did He come all the way back here?

"I came to give you a ride home. Walking around out here is just going to get you sick. I'll be sure to avoid you if you get sick." Eren snickered at that. "Also I need to talk to you." Levi shifted his gaze and fiddled with the keys laced through his fingers. "Come on, get in the car." Eren gulped and walked towards the black vehicle.

Levi started up the engine as Eren sat down and they both fastened their seat belts. Levi pulled out of the space and left the parking lot without speaking.

"Eren, I'm serious about…this. You are too correct?"

"Y-yeah, I am." It didn't take Eren even a second to understand what Levi meant by "this".

"Good," Levi exhaled briskly. "I need you to remember that when I say I'm serious, I mean it."

"Why wouldn't I take you seriously?" Eren blinked in confusion.

"It's not that you wouldn't, it's that I've been told that I have a strange way of showing I actually give a shit about something. It's a fair warning that you won't be hearing mushy love confessions from me very often if at all."

Eren smirked and looked at Levi. "I expected that much." That earned him a glare. "It's not a bad thing," Eren laughed. "You are a silent person though so that means when I do hear something like that from you, it'll always be real and the happiness will probably kill me on the spot."

"And that's the kind of mushy stuff I'm talking about," Levi reached to adjust his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "But you get my point."

Eren watched the different lights flash by them as they neared his home. At this moment he fretted returning home. Tomorrow was another day of school, but if he heard correctly from the conversation his dad and Levi had the night before then Eren was sure that Levi didn't have class again tomorrow. That meant he wouldn't able to see him for a while.

Eren's head fell and he softly stared at his legs.

"Why do you look so mopey?" Levi asked, giving Eren a quick glance then returning his eyes to the road.

"Because I won't see you at school tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day….or the next day."

"You won't but what makes you think that we won't see each other at all?" Levi looked befuddled. "I do own a car."

"I know but-"

"There's nothing to but about. I'll come visit you when we're both free." Levi rolled onto the pavement of Eren's driveway. "That reminds me," His foot eased on the brakes and the car came to a stop. "Hanji was telling me about a fair of some sorts, sounds nauseating to me but she insists that I see it," He rolled his eyes and shifted them to Eren. "Would you like to go with me? I'm sure that would ease my irritable boredom." Levi's face remained even while he waited for Eren to respond.

Eren's expression countered Levi's exactly. "Sure," He agreed while holding on to Levi's gaze. "L-Like a date?" He didn't mean to say that.

"Sort of," Levi deadpanned. "Hanji will be there but I think we'll lose track of her pretty quickly. So if you want it to be a date we can call it that."

Eren's chest fluttered at the word. He could only nod back in response; the blush on his cheeks was evidence that his head gesture was an act of shyness.

Eren unlatched his seatbelt and lightly pulled on the door handle.

"I'll see you soon then. Thanks for the ride." He smiled timidly. He was unsure of what to do in this situation. Did couples hug when parting ways? Kiss? He left it at an awkward wave.

Levi's lips folded down and he returned the wave with an abrupt raise of his hand. "See ya."

Eren closed the door and searched for his keys while approaching the front door. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Levi still in the same spot. Having someone care enough to wait for him to enter his own house was nice but just knowing that he could almost feel Levi's stare on him only aided in making his chest pound harder.

As he cracked open the door, the engine of Levi's car hummed again, the headlights illuminated the street and disappeared as they did so. Eren watched black fade into back and took another deep breath. This night only got better as it progressed. He leaned to open his door when he noticed an extra addition to the cars parked in front of his house. A shabby white bucket was left lined against the sidewalk.

'That car…it doesn't belong to him does it?'

It did. Eren stepped through the door and narrowed his eyes. "Why does it smell like a barn in here Mikasa? You letting animals in again?" He pinched the bridge of his nose and grimaced at Jean, comfortably placed on the living room couch besides Mikasa.

"Don't Eren." Mikasa spoke quietly, the threat visible through her eyes.

"What'd you say Jaeger? " Jean threw an arm over the couch to turn and see Eren.

"I said it stinks." Eren smirked and waved a hand in front of his face.

"I'm gonna let that go Jaeger. I'm not here to make a fool of myself in front of my girlfriend's family." Jean swatted his hand in a careless motion and rested it around Mikasa's shoulder.

"Girlfriend? Since when?" Eren's simper dissolved and he looked to Mikasa for an answer.

"Since today actually," Mikasa's pale skin reddened. She pushed a strand of hair away from her face and shied away with discomfort. "I was going to tell you as soon as you got back, but you returned earlier than expected." She faced Eren again. "Why are you home so soon anyway? Did you leave work early?"

"No," Now it was Eren's turn to blush. "Levi drove me home."

Jean decided to chime in again once an unfamiliar name was brought up. "Levi? Who's he?"

"A friend of Eren's," Mikasa turned to Jean to reply then focused on Eren again. "That's good. A car ride leaves me less worried than when you're on the train."

"Yeah," Eren scratched the back of his head and looked down.

"We'll talk later." Mikasa added. Somehow she always knew if something significant had happened.

"Alright." He gave a short nod and left for his room.

"I thought you didn't have school today." Eren arrived at his classroom only to see Levi standing next to the door, hopefully waiting for him.

"I don't. It recently dawned on me that we haven't even shared contacts yet. How was I supposed to tell you if I wanted to come over or even give you the times for Saturday?"

"It's a good thing you remembered." Eren said, now noticing that Levi wasn't wearing his usual backpack though his clothes were school typical; A long sleeved white collared shirt paired with dark blue jeans. "I'm sorry you came to the school for that though. I should have given you those details before." Eren's apology was deluded with guilt. A sorry nor a thank you could equal the amount of gas Levi must have used between now and last night. Not to mention the ride home.

"Hey, quit apologizing. I'm happier knowing I can reach you whenever I want now. That's a positive on my part. I should be thanking you for having a phone, saves me a great deal of trouble."

Eren perked at the comforting words. Levi's abstract motivations were a favorite of Eren's. He smiled and pulled out his phone thumbing the screen a few times. "Okay," He lifted the phone to Levi. "That's my number, send me a message."

Levi pressed a few select areas on his own phone while giving Eren's lit screen a few glances. He flipped his phone horizontally and his thumbs did the rest. "Okay." He locked his phone and buried it in his back pocket.

Eren almost jumped at the expected vibration and quickly looked at his phone.

"…Idiot…" Eren frowned at his phone then at Levi. "That's not very cute."

"I wasn't trying to be cute." The corners of Levi's mouth lifted up just enough to be called a smirk.

Eren shook his head as he usually did when he was being teased. Any form of a smile was a privilege to see on Levi's stern face so he couldn't be mad even if he wanted to. "Class is starting, so text me when you want to make plans." Eren reached for the door handle, stopping once he noticed Levi suddenly much closer than before.

"Will do." Levi mumbled. He then rose on his toes and placed a gentle kiss on Eren's cheek. He stepped back and stared at Eren's steadily heating features. Levi's face remained calm as he stepped back on his heel and walked down the vacant hallway.

'So we say goodbye with kisses? Hell if I know but I'm glad he does.' Eren glided his fingers over the spot that Levi's lips brushed. He brought his hand down and pulled on the door handle again to bring himself inside the classroom.

Eren sat next to Armin and glanced around. "Where's Mikasa?"

"She's sitting by Jean over there." Eren followed Armin's gaze and saw Jean and Mikasa chuckling off to the side of the room.

"You know," Eren slouched in his chair and grazed his fingers through his hair. "I wanted Mikasa to meet new people and when I say new people I mean people who aren't absolute jerks." He shot a glare at Jean, though the man didn't notice.

"Maybe Jean isn't all that bad." Armin reached in his bag and pulled out a notebook and pen.

"Huh?" Eren leaned his elbow on the desk frowning at Armin sourly. "You've heard how he talks to me. He's definitely a jerk."

"Honestly Eren, I think you bring out the worst in Jean." Eren's face changed into annoyed confusion leaving Armin to sigh. "I mean, you both are impulsive and neither of you want to give in. Ever. You test Jean and that's why he's so obtrusive when it comes to you."

Eren ducked a hand into his own bag to pull out his supplies as he saw Professor Shadis walk in. "I'll trust your judgment here but if she comes home crying one day, I'm calling you over to help sort it all out Mr. Therapist."

"That's fine by me," Armin laughed before is eyes suddenly widened and a gasp sounded in his throat. "Mikasa told me about you and Levi! Why didn't you say anything to me?" Armin hissed bug eyed.

"Oh I uh-" Eren's jeering expression became shamefaced. "I meant to tell you but by the time Mikasa milked all the information out of me I was too tired to even think properly." Eren smiled wryly. "I can tell you after class if you want."

"No need," Armin waved a hand in front of his face. "Mikasa clued me in earlier. Tell me what it feels like though, to date someone." His eyes brimmed with curiosity.

"I can't really say yet," Eren looked down at his notebook. "I'm so happy right now." He began rolling a pencil beneath his fingers. "Part of me knows that I hardly know anything at all about him or this but another part of me is sure that I know everything I need to know. Does that make sense?" Eren stilled his fingers and cocked his head up to see Armin.

"Sort of," Armin bent his eyebrows down, mildly confused. "Maybe I'll understand what you mean sometime down the line." He shrugged and turned to face the board, taking note of what Professor Shadis was writing on it.

"You will," Eren chuckled and shook Armin's shoulder lightly, receiving a laugh in return.

Eren felt a short vibration in his pocket. He moved his hand and reached into his pocket to retrieve his phone. He mumbled a few inaudible words that Armin couldn't interpret.

"Who's that?" Armin's smirked and peered at Eren. "Is it a text from your boyfriend?"

Eren's head shot up quickly when he heard the question. Just hearing the word 'boyfriend' left a whirlwind of feelings in his chest.

"A-Actually it is," He turned back down to his phone. "He asked me to come with him to some event on Saturday. He's texting me to tell me the details." Eren tapped a few keys then settled his phone on his desk. "He must have just found out the information because I saw him less than ten minutes ago to give him my phone number."

"If that's the case then maybe he just wanted to try texting you." Armin hummed.

"Yeah it'd be nice if that was the case." Eren laughed. Their giggles lowered as Professor Shadis started his lecture on what effects the surrounding people have on the human brain.

Eren's alarm buzzed at 8 am on Saturday morning. It was too early for a Saturday. He rolled over onto his side and slapped a hand over the alarm clock's snooze button before completely turning it off and sitting up against his headboard. He scratched his head hazily and started to sink back against his mattress. Eren's body jerked unwillingly. He sat up sat again, this time blinking away some drowsiness left behind from last night's closing shift. A yawn left his eyes watery while he kicked off his blanket and swung a leg over the bed.

Eren headed for the bathroom to follow his usual hygiene routine. He had showered the night before knowing how tired he would be in the morning. After brushing his teeth, washing his face, putting on deodorant, and using the toilet, Eren slipped on his good pair of jeans and a well-kept shirt. He tediously pulled the edges of his collar making sure that not a piece of fabric hung out of place.

Eren picked up the comb resting on his sink and raked it through his brown hair, letting strands here and there softly fall over his eyes. A shy smile surfaced on his face. He was going on a date and he couldn't be happier with who he was going with. He tried to push away the idea of it being a group event and mainly focused on him and Levi. This would be their first time going out together. Eren's smile only grew and the anticipation for Levi to arrive boiled in his stomach. Levi said that he would pick Eren up at eight o'clock. Exactly at eight. Eren didn't care to test the proximity of Levi's arrival so he decided it'd be best to get ready as quickly as he could.

"Eren, is that you?" Girsha walked into the living room to see Eren happily munching on cereal while watching the morning news. "You're up early on your day off. Have any plans today?"

"Mhm," Eren murmured. "I'm going out with Levi and a friend of his today." He lifted the spoon to his mouth and slurped the milk quietly before clasping the rest between his lips.

"Oh, is that so?" Girsha asked, walking closer to Eren. "Who's his friend?"

Eren swallowed quickly so he could answer his dad. "This girl named Hanji from his class apparently."

"Is it a girlfriend?"

"No."

"How do you know?" Girsha rested an elbow on the back of an armchair next to the couch.

"Because I know it's not." Eren plopped another spoonful of flakes into his mouth.

"Did he tell you that she's not?"

"He said she's a friend. I'm leaving it at that."

"So you don't really know." Girsha studied Eren acutely.

"I do. Why are you asking so many questions anyways? It's annoying. " Eren glowered at his dad.

Girsha shrugged then turned to walk down the hallway. "Just wondering."

'What a pain. If he has a problem he should just come out and say something.' Eren's eyes had remained unfocused on the T.V until he finally noticed the time. Five minutes till.

Eren leaped off of the couch and trotted into the kitchen, dropping off his bowl in the sink. He hurried to his room and grabbed his wallet and phone. Checking to make sure that Levi hadn't messaged him, Eren peeked at his phone then submerged it into his pocket. With only a few minutes left, he figured waiting outside would be a good choice.

Eren locked the front door behind him and edged his way to the sidewalk. He moved his head inch by inch, scanning the surrounding streets for the black Camry. Then, on cue, the vehicle turned the corner on Eren's left hand side briskly and rolled against the sidewalk.

Eren opened the car door to let himself in. "Good morning." He anxiously closed the door and strapped himself in with the seatbelt.

"Morning," Levi's one worded reply sounded fatigued. He pressed his foot against the gas pedal, pushing the car into motion.

"Even though you get to school well before class starts, you don't seem much like a morning person right now. Did you have a hard time getting out of bed?"

"No. I'm fully awake as soon as I get up every morning. And I assume you're referring to the brimming enthusiasm in my voice but that's just because I couldn't be more excited for this mystical creature fair or whatever." Levi stared at the road ahead of him with mild irritation striking his face.

"Why do you bother going to something like this if you're so annoyed by it?" Eren couldn't understand why Levi was in such a strenuous friendship to begin with.

"Because once she starts blabbing about something, that woman will not stop until you meet her needs." After a few minutes of driving Levi's peeved expression switched to a sullen one as he turned into a mall parking lot brightly decorated with pictures of dragons, unicorns, the loch ness monster and other well-known creatures.

Eren stepped out of the car in amazement once Levi had parked. "This place is huge! It's only a parking lot but it looks so much bigger! And oh!- Ahhh I can smell the food from here," His eyes were glowing with wonder. "This place is so close to my house and I had no idea this was going on!" He continued to survey the event. "I would have probably come anyway if I knew about it." Eren chuckled and looked back at Levi.

"If Hanji hears you talk like that she'll never leave you alone. Let her know you're interested and you'll be rewarded with the biggest nuisance of a prize there is." Levi rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone.

"Where is she anyway?" Eren asked.

"I'm calling her now." He raised the phone to his ear. "Probably got a head start after losing herself control- We're here. … Yes, that's fine…Well hurry it up before Eren gets restless…..Yes, I brought him with me…Hanji?" Levi looked at his phone screen. "She hung up on me."

"You didn't tell her I was coming? Maybe she hung up because she didn't want me to come." Eren spoke warily.

"No, I'm pretty sure her hanging up meant something else altogether." He locked his phone and dropped it into the pocket of his hoodie. "I'd be careful if I was-"

"ERRREEEENNNNN!" Hanji maneuvered through the parked cars in between them and the event entrance. "I had no idea you'd be here! He didn't even tell me." She gave Levi a pouting face.

"How did you even get here that fast?" He asked blankly as she slouched over regaining her breath. "I ran from the entrance. I wasn't too far in when you called." She quickly looked back to Eren. "Cute and naïve Eren." She breathed. "Now I can show you the wonders of mystical creatures. The ins and outs of everything from centaur to mermaids. You'll love it Eren, I just know it."

Eren stepped back and inch. This lady reminded him a lot of Sasha when she spoke about food. He expected her to start salivating any second now.

"Will you quit breathing on my boyfriend? It's disgusting." Levi walked over and grabbed Eren's arm, tugging him towards the entrance. Eren became scarlet as he let Levi drag his body over the asphalt.

"Hahaha! Sorry Levi! Hearing you say that sounds so funny though, say it again!" Hanji bellowed, following behind them.

"You're annoying." Levi let go of Eren's arm, leaving Eren off balance and then covered both of his ears. Levi leaned in towards Eren and whispered. "See? And you thought she'd be upset by your presence. This is worse if you ask me."

Eren giggled and looked back at Hanji who seemed more than ecstatic about the whole thing.

They all walked through the gate entrance where Hanji was stopped for another bag check but since the security guard recognized her from earlier, he let her through without questioning. He didn't want to go through that again.

"Eren, which mystical creature, that you know of, interests you the most?" Hanji didn't look as crazed now but the excitement never left her face for a second.

Eren racked his mind trying to think of all the unusual creatures he could put a name to. "Um well I think hydras are kind of cool."

"Oh that's a good one! We'll look at those first!" Hanji pulled a program guide form her purse and scanned the exhibits.

Levi frowned and looked the other way.

"Levi what's wrong? Do you not like hydras?"

"They're a little chilling. I'm not fond of reptiles and most hydras freak me out just the same."

"So you're afraid of them?" Eren chortled.

"I said I'm not fond of them." He was scowling at the amusement on Eren's face.

"Okay, okay." He puffed out his cheeks trying to hide the laughter. "Hanji never mind the hydras. Let's go see your favorite."

Hanji looked up at Eren from behind her rims. "Huh? But I thought you wanted to see them?"

"Nah they can wait."

"Well okay…I already know that Levi will give me a smartass response if I ask him so we'll see my favorite, the titans." Hanji grinned at her pamphlet and walked forward. "The titan exhibit should be over there somewhere." She informed the two men following a couple feet behind her as she pointed in the direction of several lively exhibits.

"Since Hanji already knows about us, is it okay if…" Eren clutched Levi's hand in his own and strung his fingers between Levi's.

"You're going to attract unwanted attention." He ogled down at their hands then up at Eren's worried expression. He turned his gaze away and sighed. "Never mind it's fine this way." He pressed his small fingers against Eren's knuckles.

"Ooh guys I FOUND IT!" Hanji quickly turned around with her finger pointing ahead of her towards a black painted structure labeled "Titans" with a picture of what looked like a skinless human. "Now now boys, that' s cute and all but holding hands should wait until you see the real terror of the titans!"

Levi rolled his eyes and Eren gawked at her with curiosity. He hadn't actually heard of titans before.

They walked through a door and paid a dollar each to view the display. Levi paid for Eren creating a short bicker between the two that Levi won by adding in that he did invite Eren.

Glass cases lined the walls of the dim lit room. The first few cases were filled with molds of oversized people, bearing no genitals and facial expressions that looked oddly placed for the terror they were known for.

"Eren you see, way back when, titans were known to eat humans and for no reason at all. They didn't need to food to survive, they just ate." She rubbed her hand over the glass case containing a titan with brown hair and a smiling face. "The people of that time locked themselves out from the surrounding world by barricading their towns with walls about 50 meters high."

Eren gazed through the glass at the different titans. "Why is this one so different looking?" He asked pointing at the skinless titan he saw before they walked in.

"It's unsure as to why some titans are the way they are but that one in particular is known as the colossal titan. He broke through the outer wall and started the next war on humanity. It goes unsaid how exactly humanity got their selves out of that one but apparently it lasted several years filled with a series of deaths and still no answers on how to stop the terror of the titans."

"Sounds scary." Eren mumbled, walking along the displays and inspecting each item.

"Sounds ridiculous." Levi stared at a titan whose arms were raised in the air with a frightened face. "Did they really take these things seriously? I couldn't be afraid of something that looked this silly."

"You wouldn't say that when a titan was peering through your bedroom window right before it reaches in and grabs you, squishing you between their fingers and proceeding to eat you whole!"

Levi sighed and walked around to Eren other side. "These at least look interesting."

"That's the weaponry they used to fight titans. It's called 3D Maneuver Gear. It allowed the person to shoot themselves from point A to point B and it doubled as a sword holder."

Levi continued to look at the gear. It really peaked his interest.

"Ahh we're at the end of the exhibit! There is so much more about titans though!" She whined and followed the pathway towards the exit. "No wonder it was only a dollar." She pouted.

"Hanji," Eren started. "That was…so cool!"

"Oh no." Levi's eyes darted at Eren.

Eren knew better than to meet Levi's gaze at this point.

"You think so too? Titans are amazing huh Eren?!" Hanji grabbed Eren's hands, pushing Levi out of the way. "I'm so happy you think so! Would you like to hear more about them? You can come over to my house after this and I'll show you all of my books and statues and-"

"Sorry you psychotic woman but Eren has plans to come over to my apartment after this. Don't you Eren?" Levi's glare reeled in Eren's eyes. Saying no was most likely a death wish. He nodded his head at Levi then turned to Hanji continuing the nod.

"Aw what a shame, maybe another time then. Anyway let's go eat." Hanji rubbed her stomach and looked around for the nearest food stall.

"And she's probably taking a shit right now." Levi picked at the burger on his plate with his fork. They were eating on a bench located next to the food stall that Hanji dragged them to.

"Uh Levi?" Eren put his fork down on the side of his plate.

"Hm?" Levi hummed.

"C-Can I come over tonight then?" Eren stammered.

"Yes. I was planning on having you come anyway and spend the night too since I'll probably be too tired to drive you home late and you're definitely not taking the train."

"I see." Eren held back a smile while looking down at his plate.

"If you don't want to, I can drive you home right after this. Or, if you really really wanted to, you could go to Hanji's."

"Ohh no. I honestly want to hear more stories from her but I really want to go to your place." Eren blushed and steadied his focus on his plate. He could feel Levi watching him, trying to read his face.

"Good." Levi tossed a napkin over his burger and pushed the plate away. "As soon as glasses freak gets this place out of her system, we'll head back to my place and I'll make you some real food."

Thanks for reading! Please review~

I'm pretty sure I'll have the next chapter up sooner than this one~
