Eren confesses his love for Levi, because who doesn't love these

"Hey Levi,"

"Hmm?"

"Can you pause the movie?"

"Are you gonna go take a shit?"

"No,"

"Are you gonna go get us some snacks,"

"No,"

"Then no,"

Eren threw the pillow he had been hugging to his chest for the past hour at Levi, "just pause it,"

Levi caught the pillow before it hit him and sat it in his lap. He paused the movie and looked at Eren.

"Okay, what do you want?"

"I wanted to tell you something," Eren mentally patted himself on the back for not stuttering, "it's important,"

"Okay, I'm listening,"

Maybe Eren should have thought of how he would tell Levi exactly what he wanted to say, instead he just stared at Levi with his mouth gaping, "I-I, I umm-," and there goes the back pat.

"Just spit it out,"

"I-I don't know how?"

Levi picked up the control and unpaused the movie, "well when you figure it out, tell me,"

Eren was blushing furiously now, he was glad Levi was no longer baring his eyes into Eren, it didn't really help the situation.

For another ten minutes, Eren thought about how to tell Levi, maybe he should just do it, just go ahead and ask him. What's the worst that could happen?

"Are you going to ask me to go to that work party with you? Because I told you I wasn't going to pretend to be your boyfriend again," Levi said, Eren hadn't even realized he had paused the movie again. He had seized paying attention a long time ago.

"It's something related to that," Eren bit his lip and looked at the space of the couch between them.

"I told you I wasn't going to do that anymore,"

"I know,"

"Then?"

"I- I wanted to ask you to go with me, but as my date. Like my date-date, not my fake-date," Eren took the chance and peaked up at Levi, who looked completely shocked.

"Why?" he asked.

Eren furrowed his eyebrows, "what do you mean why?"

"Why do you want me to be your date? I'm sure Armin would be happy to help you,"

"Why don't you want to do it?" Eren asked, feeling slightly offended.

"I'm no fun at those types of things," Levi said, returning his gaze to the tv. He made a move for the remote, "ask someone else,"

"I don't want to ask someone else," Eren blurted out before Levi could press play, "I want you to go with me,"

"I already told you, I'm no fu-,"

"I think you're fun," Eren interrupted, "I like hanging out with you,"

"We live together, don't you get tired of me. I mean it's Friday night, wouldn't you be happier hanging out with your friends at a club or something?"

"But I want to hang out with you," Eren adjusted himself so he was on his knees and facing Levi, "I want you to be my date,"

"Can you stop saying that?"

"Saying what?" Eren cocked his head to the side.

"That it's a date," Levi pinched the bridge of his nose, "you don't want to go on any type of date with me,"

"Yes I do," Eren said, "I wanna go on all types of dates with you. I wanna go to the movies and go to dinner, and walk through the park with you, and I wan-,"

"We've done all those things before,"

"But I mean as a couple," Eren blushed, "I wanna hold your hand, and kiss you, and I want to hug you," he said softly.

"Wait, what?"

Eren suddenly felt really embarrassed, maybe this had been a bad idea. Maybe trying to confess his feelings to his roommate was a bad idea.

"Nevermind," Eren said, he got up and rounded the couch, "I'm going to bed, goodnight," he rushed to his room and closed the door behind him. Maybe if he avoided Levi the rest of the night and left before Levi got up, he could pretend this never happened. Yeah, finally a good idea came out of his head.

A couple hours later, Eren still couldn't sleep, he had tried, he really did. But their conversation just kept circling around his head and he couldn't sleep. Instead, he sat in bed with his laptop and scrolled through tumblr.

There was a knock on his door followed by Levi's voice calling his name. Eren panicked and closed his laptop. He threw his blanket over him. He'll pretend to be asleep. That'll work. Yeah, it'll work.

"Eren," Levi's voice called again, "I know you're awake, I saw you reblogging the pictures of babies with puppies,"

"Fuck," Eren muttered, why did babies with puppies have to be so damn cute

"Come in," he called out as he sat up. The light from the hallway illuminated Levi and he looked like an angel. Eren tried to dispel the image from his head, "what's up?"

He could see Levi roll his eyes, but got serious again, "can you explain to me what you were trying to tell me earlier?"

"It's nothing forget it," he fell back onto his bed and brought up the blanket to cover his face. He didn't hear anything and he hoped that meant Levi had left. He slowly lowered his blanket only to yell because Levi was right there.

"Geez, Levi," Eren said once his heart beat started slowing, "warn a person when you move, gosh,"

"Do you like me, Eren?"

Eren expected those words to sound teasing, but he looked into Levi's eyes and realized he was being serious. He was really asking.

Eren brought the blanket up again and rolled onto his side, "yes, I do. Now can you please leave me alone?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because this is embarrassing, I shouldn't have said anything. Now it's gonna be awkward between us,"

"But," he heard Levi say, "I like you too,"

"Stop lying to me,"

"I'm not lying,"

Eren felt a tugging on his blanket and held it tighter, "yes you are, you're making fun of me,"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you're mean. If you did like me then you would want to be my pretend boyfriend again. But you said you weren't going to do it, so you don't like me,"

The tugging on his blanket stopped and Eren felt the bed dip behind him.

"I do like you. I realized I liked you that day I pretended to be your boyfriend. That's why I didn't want to do it again. I didn't want to get sucked into the feeling of us being together only for it to end once we got back home,"

"Really?"

"Yeah, so if you really do like me then I'll gladly go to party with you. I'll hold your hand, and hug you, and kiss you and everything,"

"Really?"

"Mhmm," Levi's voice was extremely close, "now can you please move the blanket?"

Eren hesitantly pulled off the blanket, but kept it tucked under his chin, just in case. Levi face was just inches from his, and Eren could detect the faintest of smiles on his face.

"Can I kiss you?" Levi asked, "a real kiss this time?"

Eren nodded slowly, too shocked to really say any words. He closed his eyes when he saw Levi close his and lean in. He gasped at the feeling of soft lips on his. It felt like when they had kissed the first time. All those months ago on Christmas when Levi had agreed to pretend to be Eren's boyfriend in front of his family. He had only done it because he made Eren promise not to do anything for his birthday (that didn't stop Eren from getting him a present though).

But it was still different this time. There were feelings behind it, and Levi's fingers were threaded in Eren's hair, his other hand tugging the blanket out of Eren's hands so Eren could wrap his arms around Levi's neck. The last kiss had been just a small press of the lips, but this one was more.

Eren opened his mouth at the feeling of Levi's tongue. It was smooth as it flicked his own tongue and it made Eren giggle. He could hear Levi chuckle a bit before he pressed his lips to the side of Eren's.

"Now I'm going to bed," Levi said, "and unlike someone, I'll actually fall asleep," he kissed Eren's nose and Eren blushed. Levi made a move to leave, but Eren grabbed his wrist.

"Stay here with me,"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Eren said, "it'll be like when we fall asleep on the couch, except I get to cuddle you this time," Eren smiled. He let go of Levi's wrist to scoot over on the bed and make room for him.

Levi's eyes softened but he slid into the bed next to Eren. Eren was extremely happy and turned to they were facing each other. He slid down a bit on the bed and they adjusted themselves so Eren could tuck his head under Levi's chin and his arms around Levi's waist. Levi's hands were around his shoulders and caressing his hair, "this isn't weird is it?" Eren asked.

"I don't think so. I mean I like you, and you like me. This is what people who like each other do,"

"You're right," Eren said, he snuggled closer to Levi, he tightened his arms.

"Don't suffocate me either, Eren,"

Eren giggled but loosed his hold a bit. Maybe it had been a good idea to tell Levi. Yeah, a very good idea.
