The "I was trying to discreetly take a picture of you because hey you're really cute but the flash was on and now you're staring at me oh my god"-AU
Eren wasn't sure why he was even at the library. He wasn't even studying, like he was supposed to be doing, instead he was spending his time staring at some guy who was studying on the other side of the library. Simply put, Eren found this stranger to be extremely attractive. He had a jet black undercut that Eren didn't think he would find hot, yet he did. His skin was pale and whenever he would turn the page of his book, he would look up, sometimes at Eren. Eren wasn't sure if he saw correctly, but the stranger seemed to have grey eyes. Which only fascinated Eren more.
Eren tried to focus on the book in front of him, he really did, but his eyes kept wandering back to the stranger, Eren couldn't look away. At least not until he felt his phone ring. (Armin, Eren)
You better be studying
How am I supposed to study when there's some hot man candy across the room (;
I didn't know we were the same room
Eren laughed out loud and quickly covered his mouth when he noticed that people around him were now looking at him, including the hot stranger. Shut the fuck up Armin, I'm obviously not talking about you
Then who?
There's this really hot guy here. Eren looked up and saw that he was no longer being looked at, he sighed in relief.
He's probably not even that hot, you're obviously just looking for a distraction. He's probably look like a wet dog.
Armin, I swear to you that he is HOT.
They went back and forth until Eren had had enough and wanted to PROVE to Armin that this man was indeed the hottest man he had ever seen. He opened up the camera app on his phone and tried to discreetly angle it towards the stranger. He made sure it was focused properly before he pressed the button to take the picture.
Eren internally cursed at himself and almost dropped his phone when he realized he hadn't taken the flash off. The flash was pretty bright and had gotten the attention of the people around him, even the hot stranger. Who was currently glaring at Eren. Eren saw him gather his things and get up, making his way over to Eren.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," Eren repeated over and over to himself. He quickly got up off his seat, abandoned his books and all but ran out the library. Once he was outside, he decided his best course of action would be to cross the street.
He was just about to when he felt a hand on his arm keeping him where he was. Eren cursed again as he turned around. He was met with beautiful grey eyes staring into his green ones.
"Ummm...hi," Eren said awkwardly.
"Were you trying to take a picture of me?!"
Eren only had a moment to register how smooth and velvety this stranger's voice sounded before he was overcome by fear at how angry he sounded.
"No...ok, yes. I was. But I have a perfectly good explanation for it," the stranger raised his eyebrow, obviously waiting for an explanation, "I told my friend you were hot, several times, and he didn't believe me, he said you probably looked like a wet dog or something and so of course I had to prove him wrong," Eren was feeling both awkward and embarrassed while explaining his reasoning.
"A wet dog?" Eren had to try to contain his giggle at the fact that that was what stuck to him, he nodded, "I do not look like a wet dog,"
"Which is what I was trying to tell him," Eren unlocked his phone and showed Levi the text, "see I said, 'he looks like someone who could make a Greek god jealous, not to mention he could probably kick their ass too,'" he put his phone away from Levi's vision before he could read what came after.
"I do work out, I'm glad you noticed," fuck, he had seen.
"Yeah, it seems like it," Eren tried to laugh to lessen the awkwardness he was feeling, but it came out sounded nervous and fake.
"Did you at least get the picture?"
Eren looked at his phone again and opened up the gallery. He was a little upset to see the picture he had taken was just a picture of a very well lit and bright desk, he showed it to him. The stranger took the phone from his hand.
"What a shame," he opened up the camera and then made it so it was front facing, then he held it out at arm's reach. Both him and Eren in the frame.
"What are you doing?"
"Proving to your friend I don't look like a wet dog,"
Eren started laughing and the stranger looked at him, "get closer so you're in the shot," Eren took a hesitant step closer to him and he looked at the stranger, "I'm Levi,"
"Eren," he smiled at Levi.
Levi locked his eyes with Eren. Eren barely had anytime to register what was happening before he saw Levi's close his eyes and then felt his lips pressed against his own. He heard the camera shutter and then Levi pulled back, looking at the picture.
"Take that asshat," Eren could only assume Levi was sending the picture to Armin, "you do know that when you kiss someone you're supposes to close your eyes and not be so stiff right?"
Eren snatched his phone away from Levi, "I was caught off guard, I know how to kiss," he looked at his phone. It was the thread with Armin, and there it was, the picture of him kissing Levi. Levi's profile looked perfect, as expected. His jawline was perfect, his hair was perfect, his skin looked flawless, his eyebrow was perfect, hell, even his sideburn was perfect.
Eren, on the other hand, looked far from it. He did look really stiff, and Eren had to remind himself that he knew how to kiss. His eyes were opened wide and there was a very obvious and distinct blush across his face. He wondered if he still had it, chances were he did. He was just about to say something to Levi about sending out an unflattering picture of him when Armin texted back.
Woah
He showed it to Levi, "damn straight,"
You look like shit compared to him
Eren frowned at Armin's text, something that didn't go unnoticed by Levi.
"What?"
"He's right you know, compared to you, I look like a trashcan,"
Eren frowned even more when Levi was doubled over and laughing, holding his stomach.
"What's so funny?" now Eren was the one that was slightly pissed.
Levi was still laughing but he was standing now, one of his hands on Eren's shoulder while the other was still clutching his stomach, "you do not look like a trashcan. I mean, I was sitting there trying to conclude whether you kept looking at me because you found be repulsing or because you found me attractive,"
"Well, now you know its because I think you're hot, but I don't see what that has to do with anything," Eren said.
"I was trying to figure it out so I could decide if I should ask you out or not, obviously if I thought you thought I was repulsing I wouldn't,"
"Oh," Eren couldn't think of anything to say, he was no longer angry, but he was blushing. Levi, the attractive stranger, found him attractive, "I'd like to go out with you,"
"You would?" Eren shyly nodded. He didn't even argue when Levi snatched his phone away from him, he handed it back to Eren after a couple seconds, and then pulled out his own phone, "I'll text you details later," Eren nodded again, "are you not going to speak anymore?"
Eren opened his mouth but no words came out, he was still in shock that he had a date with Levi. He settled for shrugging if he couldn't speak.
Levi chuckled and messed around with his phone for a bit, when he handed it to Eren, the camera was on and Eren looked at him confused, "you take the picture this time. I need one too,"
Eren wasn't as surprised this time when Levi grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and brought him down to connect their lips. This time, Eren made sure to close his eyes, and put his hand on Levi's waist. Eren was so lost in the kiss that it was about a minute or two before he remembered he was supposed to take a picture, he held the phone up and snapped the picture quickly before he wrapped both his arms around Levi and continued their kiss.
When they parted, they were both out of breath, Eren handed Levi back his phone, "was I stiff that time," he smiled widely.
Levi cleared his throat, now he was the one blushing, "not at all,"
