A/N: Hey there! God, it's been a long time OTL...I'm uploading this now, but chapter three will also probably be done tonight too. c: I'm finally out of school for a little while so I should be updating my fics regularly (on Mondays), which makes me reaaaally happy, and I'm going to be hosting chats about the fics after uploading them. I know I've been a pretty bad author as of late ^^; I'm also looking for betas (because I know I need all the hell I can get and a kick in the butt when I'm lazy), so if you're interested, just contact me. You can do it here or on tumblr. (Once again I'm Mastia there too...) I was going to mention it, but for those of you who regularly check up on my stories, you can either subscribe to me (as an author) or the specific stories so it'll notify you when I update.
Chapter Song: Waiting for the End- Linkin Park
Sweet Dreams.
Levi woke up to those words. His wrist ached from falling on it when he'd rolled out of bed, and he could tell from the sharp pain that shot through his arm when he brought his fingers to his neck that he had probably sprained it. He could still feel the lingering itch of breath on his skin; goose bumps were already forming from the vividness of his dream.
He looked around, glad that he was in his own bedroom and not somewhere unclean. It quickly faded however, when he noticed the state he was in. He was completely naked, limbs and torso tangled in bedding, and he grimaced at the feeling of dried sweat on his skin. The bitter taste of alcohol lingered in his mouth, enough that he gagged. Much to his surprise, he didn't have the headache that usually came the morning after getting so drunk he blacked out.
After unraveling himself from his sheets, Levi made his way to the bathroom, grabbing a clean pair of clothes and a towel on his way. He took his time in the shower, scrubbing every inch of his skin raw, long after the hot water had run cold, and then spent almost twice as long cleaning his teeth. The smell of breakfast, brewing coffee in particular, was what finally forced him downstairs. He was met with a strange look from his roommate, Erwin, as he padded into the kitchen to make himself a plate. One eyebrow cocked, Erwin wasted no time.
"You okay? I've never not seen you dying the morning after. You don't seem hung over at all. Did Hanji finally invent a cure?" When he didn't get a response from the shorter man- not that he was honestly expecting one- Erwin sighed and set his now empty cup down. "I was going to wait until your hangover was gone, but you seem to not have one, so… I'll go ahead and say it: as your friend, I'm happy that you finally let loose, but as your supervisor….Well, you need to watch it, Levi. You probably don't even remember, but I am 99% sure that you broke multiple company policies last night."
Levi snorted in response; Erwin was completely right- he had no recollection of the previous night. Just his dream and the brat with the gold eyes. As much as the teen had unnerved him, now that he was awake, he wished he hadn't woken up quite yet. He wondered what would have happened if he'd gotten a chance to talk to the kid. Erwin didn't need to know any of this, so he just rolled his eyes and sat across his friend.
"Oh, really? It couldn't have been that bad, Eyebrows. I feel absolutely fine so I couldn't have done drugs. Actually you know what, I actually feel great. Better than I have in years. Abso-fucking-lutely perfect. Maybe glasses did invent a miracle drug."
Erwin stood up to get more coffee after a moment of silence, and did his best to hide his face from Levi. It didn't help; the raven haired male saw the seriousness in his eyes. "I woke up to Petra leaving your room this morning."
Levi's eyes widened. He was expecting something bad, but that. That hit him in the face like a ton of bricks. "You're lying."
"I'm not and you know it." Erwin sighed and walked past his friend, patting him on the back cautiously as we went by. "It's only Saturday. You have a couple days to figure it out."
"Shit."
A/N: I also wanted to tell you guys that each chapter is heavily influenced by certain songs. I'll be putting up a song list on chapter three.
