Levi is the RA for Eren's dorm's floor and Armin kicks Eren out of their room in the middle of the night bc he has to study and Eren is nothing but a distraction.
Eren sat on the floor outside his room, he had his blanket and pillow there with him, he could just sleep there if he really wanted to. Or he could go to the floor's lounging area, that would work too, but he didn't want to be exposed somewhere where Jean could easily sneak up on him and prank him if he was just sleeping on one of the couching. His best bet was to go to Levi, his RA. He slowly got up and picked up his things, it was past midnight, usually there would still be people awake, except that it was the last days of finals so most people were locked up in their dorm rooms studying. Like Armin was. Eren was done with his finals already, all he had to do was turn in his final essay and final art project, both of which he had finished a few days ago. Armin told him he was too distracting and didn't let him study, so he got thrown out the room. How Armin managed to throw him out with still beyond Eren.
He stood outside Levi's room, which was all the way at the end of the hallway, he knocked quietly. No one came to the door, but he kind of excepted that, if Levi was sleeping, he wouldn't have heard him. He tried knocking again, this time a little louder, "Levi?" he called. He heard movement inside the room and cursing. Eren shut his eyes tightly, Levi wasn't all that bad, he could be mean, but he also allowed the people on the floor to have fun, as long as it wasn't breaking any rules that is, but everyone had known that waking up Levi was quiet possibly one of the worst things one could do.
"What?!" Levi asked, as soon as he opened the door.
"Hi, Levi," Eren opened his eyes to see Levi, who looked anything but happy.
"I know you didn't wake me up to say hi, what the fuck do you want? I was sleeping,"
"Armin kicked me out,"
"Why?"
"He's studying,"
Levi rubbed his eyes, Eren thought he looked cute, "well shouldn't you be studying?"
"I don't have anymore finals. I just have to turn thing in,"
"Then sleep,"
"I'm not sleepy. And either way, I need somewhere to sleep for when I do….sleep," Eren was beginning to regret his decision to come to Levi for help. He looked pissed.
"Do you want me to unlock the door so you can go back in?"
Eren shook his head, "he'll just kick me out again,"
"Then don't distract him,"
"He says my overall presence and breathing is distracting,"
"I know Marco is sleeping with Reiner and Bert in their room downstairs, something about a study group. So Jean has space in his room, ask him,"
"You really want me to go sleep in the same room as Jean? You act like you haven't been around us for an entire semester,"
Levi groaned, "Well what do you expect me to do? Let you sleep here?"
Eren's eyes opened wide, "can I?"
Levi's own eyes narrowed, "no,"
"But Levi, you're my RA!"
"Yeah, your RA, not your babysitter,"
Eren did his best to give Levi his puppy eyes, he even added his signature pout, his foolproof plan to get whatever he wanted, "please, Levi," it was no secret that Eren had the biggest crush on Levi, hell, if Levi didn't know he had to be blind.
Eren was always flirting with him, asking him out on dates and trying to get close to him. Sometimes Levi flirted back, but he always smirked when he saw how Eren would get flustered. So Eren just assumed Levi was only joking.
Eren quickly decided that if Levi refused to let him sleep there again, he would go and sleep in the lounge, he understood if Levi would be uncomfortable having his sleep there.
Instead, Levi sighed and opened his door wider, "fucking, fine. Get in here,"
Eren smiled and walked inside, it was dark, but Eren could see that everything was pretty tidy, except for the messy bed.
Levi closed the door and went to his closet, looking for something. He cursed.
"What is it?"
"I forgot I lent the futon to Sasha so she could sleep in Christa and Annie's room,"
"Don't you have another one?"
"Erwin took it last week for his own floor and hasn't returned it. I have half a mind to go demand it from him right now, but my guess is that someone is using it," he groaned again, "I fucking hate finals week,"
"I can sleep on the floor," Eren suggested, it wasn't something he was looking forward to, but it really was their only option.
"Yeah," Levi nodded, "ok," he grabbed some extra blankets from his closet and laid them out on the floor so Eren wouldn't just be laying on the cold, hard ground, "sorry I couldn't provide you with something better,"
Eren smiled at him, "as long as I don't have to sleep where Jean can draw dicks on my face, I'm fine," he tried to joke. Levi only made a face and got into his own bed.
"Just go to sleep," he turned to face the wall.
Eren frowned but laid down on the blankets and tried to get comfortable. After a while, he heard Levi's breathing was slow and rhythmic, he must have fallen asleep, "Levi?" he whispered.
"What?" to Eren's surprise, he didn't sound mad, just extremely tired.
"Are you asleep,"
"Yes, Eren, as you should be,"
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble,"
Eren couldn't see anything but he could hear Levi shift in his bed. Then he felt something on his head and he turned his head up, only to find that it was Levi's fingers, they started run through his hair, Eren found it relaxing.
When Levi spoke, his voice was much closer to Eren than before, he must have been at the very edge of his bed, "you're no trouble, Eren," he continued to run his fingers along the messy mop of brown hair until Eren could feel his eyes drooping and he was asleep in minutes.
When Eren woke up, something didn't feel right, he knew he wasn't in his room without even opening his eyes. Oh right, he had slept in Levi's room, on the floor. But wasn't he too comfortable to be on the floor? He slowly opened his eyes to find he was laying on Levi's bed, alone. He looked at the clock on Levi's desk, 6:18. He doubted Levi had gone to class already, he knew for a fact Levi never scheduled any classes before 10, and even then, there were none until at least 8. He sat up and got off the bed, his first thought was to go back to his room, but Armin was probably still sleeping. He walked to the lounge, maybe he could just sit there for a while until he could go back to his room.
He didn't expect Levi to be asleep on one of the couches, a couple blankets thrown over him. He moved over so he could see Levi, his face was soft, not having his usual scowl, he looked even cuter when he was sleeping. Eren was about to wake him up, but he didn't want to be the one to wake up Levi, twice, on the same night, or day. He looked around to make sure no one was there and then went back to Levi, picking him up in his arms. He knew Levi wouldn't want anyone seeing him being carried to his room.
"Eren?" Levi asked when he felt himself being moved.
"Yeah, shhhhh. I'm taking you back to your room,"
Levi was too tired to demand to be put down, so he just nodded his head against Eren's shoulder and allowed himself to be carried. The lounge was cold and Eren was warm, much warmer than the blankets, so he got as close to him as he possible. Once they were back in the room, Eren set Levi down and made sure he was completely covered in the blankets. Then he started for the door.
"Where are you going?" Levi asked him, he was leaning on one of his elbows, his other hand rubbing his eyes.
"Back to the lounge,"
"Why?"
"So you can sleep,"
Levi rolled his eyes, "just get over here, Eren," when he saw Eren start to move back towards the bed, he laid back down, closing his eyes.
Eren stood next to the bed, unsure of what to do, "uhh, Levi?"
Levi opened one eye, "well? Get in here," he lifted the blanket and grabbed Eren's arm, pulling him in.
"Uhhh…." Eren was unsure of what was going on. Levi had moved so his head was resting on Eren's shoulder and one of his arms was thrown over Eren's stomach.
"Just go to sleep. There's still a few hours before class, also I'm cold and you're warm,"
Eren wasn't so sure that was the only reason, but he took what he could get. He tentatively wrapped his arms around Levi and was pleasantly surprised to find that Levi didn't yell at him or push him away. Eren relaxed and rested his cheek against Levi's forehead.
"If you tell anyone I let you sleep on my bed, I'm personally drawing the dicks on your face,"
Eren chuckled and smiled even bigger when he felt Levi chuckle too.
