Chapter 9 Deleted Scene

Levi slipped his arms back into the sleeves of Eren's jacket after briefly removing it to put his own jacket on underneath. He noticed that the brunet didn't even try to protest when he slipped said boy's jacket back on, and he couldn't help the smile tugging on the corners of his lips- threatening to blow his angry cover.

It was only safe to assume that Eren thought he was mad, and in a way, Levi was kind of mad because really- what actually happened between Eren and Jean in the fucking closet? Why the fuck did the brat look so panicked when asked about what had happened?

Levi curled his fingers into his palms- nails digging into his hands. It was something he did when he wasn't sure if he should be angry or frustrated, and luckily for him, Eren's jacket sleeves were longer than his arms, so his hands were nicely hidden- a good thing too because Hanji would have caught on in an instant had she seen his hands.

"I think I left my phone in Hanji's room," Petra stated, shooting Levi an apologetic glance before following Hanji back up the stairs to her room.

Levi leaned back against the wall- arms crossed. He took in Eren's persistent fidgeting and figured now was the best time to ask. Everyone else had left, and it would probably take Petra a few of minutes to actually get her phone and make it back downstairs- he knew that she and Hanji would probably stop to gush about Auruo for god knows how long.

Plus, he just really needed to fucking know what had happened.

And with that in mind, he cleared his throat, catching the brunet's attention. "Have something you want to say?" He asked with narrow, piercing eyes.

"Uh, my um…" Eren stopped for a moment, swallowing the lump that seemed to make a home out of his throat. "My, er… My jacket looks great on you…"

Levi let out a small huff of a laugh before tilting his head to the right- brows raising in disbelief as the realization of what really happened washed over him. He was suspicious at first- it was odd that Jean's lip was bleeding yet both boys claimed that they didn't fight. Jean could have just bitten his lip too hard, causing it to bleed, but then why wouldn't he just come right out and say that? Why act so suspicious? The two, Levi thought to himself, were really bad actors- it was obvious now what they did, and he locked his sharp, narrow eyes onto Eren's trembling turquoise ones, and Eren caught onto this quickly- he had been getting a little better at reading the older boy's facial expressions as the night progressed.

"Levi I-"

"You kissed him."

Eren raked a trembling hand through his brown locks while breathing out a shaky sigh. He needed to plan a course of action- he wasn't ready to lose Levi. He didn't know if they would even be a thing after this night, but he was willing to fight for it.

Because he was insanely attracted to the older boy.

He gnawed lightly on his bottom lip as options bounced around in his head. And, after a few moments, one option hit him, and it was as if the stupid, little figurative light floating above his head finally came to life. The answer was so damn obvious that he was actually ashamed he didn't think of it sooner.

"Jean forced me to." Eren whispered, and yes, he fucking whispered it. He needed Levi to sympathize with him. However, he wasn't expecting to look up and see Levi literally shaking with rage- and Levi doesn't really express his emotions like… well like a normal human being.

He kind of looked like how boyfriends in stereotypical romance movies look when they find out that another guy kissed their girl- well, take that typical expression and amp it up by like a thousand. Then you'll have how Levi looks.

And it would be downright terrifying if Eren hadn't realized why Levi was acting the way he was acting. The reason was quite amusing to the brunet, and his carefully thought out pout threatened to betray him as his lips began to twitch up into a smile.

His amusement, however, quickly turned into concern when Levi rushed past him without so much as a glance. "W-wait, Levi?" Eren called out just as the older boy pulled the door open.

"I'll be right back," Levi said with his back still turned towards the brunet. "I've just got to go and kill Jean real fast." And yea, so maybe this would be his last night as a free man. But, at that moment, he didn't give a flying fuck. Anyone who forces himself on Eren has to die. That's just how it has to be.

"Kill?" Eren's brows furrowed in confusion. Did Levi say kill? Kill- as in end someone's life?

Shit.

"Levi, wait!" Eren grabbed onto Levi's arm just as the boy was starting towards the exact direction Jean and Armin had gone. He tugged on the older boy's arm until said boy was facing him.

"Let me go." Levi spit out, digging his heels into the pavement as Eren tried to pull him back inside.

"No Levi, calm down. Murder won't solve anything." Eren desperately tried to sound calm and reassuring as he all but dragged the older boy back into the house.

"Sure it will," Levi responded as if that was the most obvious answer in the world. He didn't understand why Eren was stopping him; he would do his best to not get caught.

Eren sighed as he shut the door. "No it won't, and you know that." He turned to face the older boy, and damn, Levi still looked as if he was seeing red.

So maybe Eren didn't think this all the way through, and he suddenly understood the meaning behind 'honesty is the best policy'.

"Okay, so," he began, drawing Levi's attention towards him with what he really hoped to be a calm voice, "he didn't actually like force me," he said, using hand motions for emphasis. "He just… like he wanted to know how to kiss Armin like how you and I kissed…"

Levi took a step back. What the actual fuck? He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. How the hell does he respond to something like this? It was… well, it was kind of really hilarious. He still didn't like the idea of Eren kissing Jean, but damn, figures those two would fucking attempt to reenact his and Eren's kiss. And, in a way, he couldn't really blame them- it was a fucking amazing kiss after all.

But, all that aside, he wasn't just going to let Eren off so easily. He was angry- clearly very angry. And he felt that he had every right to be.

"Um, Levi?"

"I'm angry."

Eren couldn't stop it this time. His lips curled upward until he was practically grinning from ear to ear. He could see Levi's face twisting into a look of confusion mixed with anger.

"Something fucking funny?" Levi questioned with a harsh bite to his voice.

"You," Eren started, taking a step forward before jabbing Levi in the chest with his index finger, "are jealous."

Levi's eyes widened, which only caused Eren to stagger backwards as he fell into a laughing fit.

Levi stared daggers at the brunet laughing loud enough for the freaking neighbors to hear. Jealous? Him? He shook his head. There's no way in hell that he was jealous- he was angry, not fucking jealous.

"Eren." He growled, trying and almost failing to get the brunet's attention.

"Oh shit," Eren gasped out- he was bent over with his hands pressed against his knees, but he still felt that he couldn't get a sufficient amount of air back into his lungs. "Sorry," he finally wheezed out through some lingering chuckles.

"I am not jealous, Eren." Levi said flatly.

"No?" Eren asked as he straightened his back. "So you wanting to kill Jean because he kissed me wasn't driven by your jealously?'

"No."

Eren brought his hand up to his mouth, giggling into his cupped hand as he approached the older boy once more. "What made you angry, then?"

"You said Jean forced you to kiss him." Levi titled his chin up, so he could lock eyes with the brunet.

"And?" Eren gestured for Levi to continue.

"And the thought of that boy's lips against yours makes me fucking furious." Levi finished with a huff, falling back against the wall once more.

"I see," Eren said, closing the gap between the two. "If I apologize will you admit that you are jealous?"

"I want to know why you bit his lip," Levi countered, ignoring Eren's previous request.

Eren crossed his arms and cocked his head to the right. "I can't really remember," he started, "it was like a big, quick blur of awful kissing followed by shouting and a faint taste of blood on my lips, and-"

"Okay, stop." Levi ordered with his hand held up. "That's fucking disgusting. Go wash your mouth right now."

Levi watched as Eren shuffled off to the bathroom- eyes lingering on the boy's ass before said boy turned the corner. He let out a loud sigh, running his hands up and down his face. Was he actually jealous? Is that, he wondered, what it felt like to be jealous? Hell, he was about to go and kill a boy because of his supposed jealously.

Damn. Jealousy's dangerous.

Eren returned a few moments later and headed straight to Levi, pulling the older boy out of his thoughts, and Levi lifted his hand, brushing it gently down Eren's cheek. His fingers trailed across Eren's cool, pink lips. "I hope you washed thoroughly."

"I did," Eren whispered, and Levi shuddered as the boy's warm breath brushed against cheek. He pushed up on his toes- lips closing in on Eren's, but the sound of a door closing followed by loud footsteps had the two boys stepping away from each other.

"Sorry about that," Petra said as she stepped off of the last step. "Auruo texted me right as I found my phone, and then Hanji and I got to talking." She shot the two boys an apologetic grin before starting towards the door.

"Did we interrupt something?" Hanji asked- waggling her eyebrows at the two boys who were still standing considerably close to each other.

"Not anything that can't be continued later," Levi said before meeting Eren's wide, hopeful eyes. He gave the brunet one, small nod before turning towards the door. "See you on Monday," he called out to Hanji, lifting one hand up to offer a small wave before pulling the door open for Petra.

Petra muttered a sweet "thank you" before walking out the door, and then Levi glanced at Eren, motioning for him to go out next. He watched carefully as the brunet started to walk out the door, and when the moment was just right, he reached over and gave the boy's ass a nice slap. And he snickered quietly to himself as he was greeted with a wide-eyed, blushing brunet as soon as he stepped outside.

A/N- I'm back! Okay, so actual chapters will be coming. I figured this smaller, deleted scene chapter would be a good way to get back into the swing of things. I have no idea how I managed to type so much in a scene that probably takes like less than ten minutes. Also, I don't know how to type funny jealousy. I don't even really know how to type regular jealousy- I tried though.

Moving on, I've gotten requests from three different sites, and I got way more than I thought. I'm still deciding on which to do. If I don't do yours, I'm really sorry!

Um, I think that's all I really needed to say for now so, thanks for all the requests! I'm shocked at how many people actually like this story. And thanks for all the favorites, follows, and reviews! You guys are truly amazing.

Thanks to Ai Enmaxjigoku shoujo (Tehavengeh) for reading over this and offering tips to make it better.

And, I hope everyone enjoys
