"I wished upon the stars and
they handed me their moon.
You awoke the storms within
and inspired waves of emotion
I thought long dried."
Levi
He wanted to stay with the Brat a little longer, but Hanji had an "emergency". Hanji's emergency was also considered "hang out eith me or I tell the kid you like him". How they knew about Eren, he will never know.
They had gone to the mall, to Levi's demise, and went shopping. Hanji talked the whole time, but Levi just ignored them and thought about Eren. I hope he's ok...the kid did lose his mother not too long ago...
Hanji stopped talking a moment and looked at Levi.
" Hey, what's up? Are you alright?" they questioned him.
"What? Yea...I'm great..."
"No you so are not! Is it the Eren kid? The one with those eyes?"
"How the fuck do you know about him?"
"The usual stalking. I only did it to see if he was good for you!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what it means, Levi. You like him but you're afraid to admit it. I honestly can't blame you, though. He's quite handsome."
"I'm not gay, Shitty Glasses; you know that."
"No, Levi, I don't know that. Especially the way you act around him. Sure I've only seen you two together like, twice, but still; I can tell you really like him."
"Whatever. I should go, it's getting late. Au revoir."
"See ya Levi!"
He left and headed to his dorm. When he got there, he went straight to the shower. The scalding water cleared his mind until it was time to get out. He plopped on his bed and almost instantly fell asleep. Why does being around Hanji have to be so exhausting?
After class, Eren invited Levi out for coffee and they talked for a bit.
"Hey, Levi, why did you do that yesterday?"
He knew exactly what the Brat was talking about, but he tried to shake it off in hopes the kid would just shut up.
"Do what?"
"You know…" He saw Eren blush the slightest bit. Yes, I do know. I just don't want to talk about it…
"No; I don't, Brat, so spit it out" Please, please, please; just say forget about it…
"Why did you kiss me?" Goddamnit he said it…come on Levi think of a good excuse other than "I really like you".
"Oh, that, you looked like you needed some comfort." Please believe me..
"You could have just given me a hug, though." For fuck's sake would the kid just stop it?
"Well I didn't. End of discussion."
Levi was glad that the Brat finally shut up about the kiss, but a bit annoyed when he asked to hang out in his dorm. Of course, Levi accepted, he liked the kid anyways, so he would spend as much time as possible with him without seeming weird.
I can't believe all we've been doing is playing video games; it's so childish, and normally I despise them, but right now, with him, it's fun...
The trip to the park really surprised Levi. He told the Brat that it was special because no one took him anywhere (other than Hanji lately), which wasn't completely untrue, but it also wasn't completely true. He just didn't want to tell Eren that he was really happy to alone with him, outside of the dorms-not to mention, the burgers were great.
Levi was glad the kid accepted the offer for coffee in the afternoons. He'd thought he would get rejected and Eren would think he was weird, but he didn't, at least, he hoped so.
He had no idea why, but he was excited to be able to have coffee with the bright-eyed boy. He didn't know if this was a nervous excitement (which it probably was) or if was just full out excitement because he gets to see the one guy that he actually liked.
"Hey! Levi! Over here!"
He walked over to the table that the Brat was at.
"Ay kid. Wait a minute so I can get some tea."
"Oh, I already got some for you. I didn't know what you liked, so I just got black."
"It's perfect." Levi practically whispered, hoping Eren wouldn't hear, thankfully he didn't.
"What was that?"
"Thanks."
"Oh…No problem! So, what do you wanna talk about? You are the one who invited me here." He chuckled. Levi didn't know what to say, and started to turn pale from being nervous. Well at least I know what type of excitement I had…
"Hey, Levi, I was just kidding. Are you ok?" Levi let out a quiet sigh in relief.
"Yea kid I'm fine. The...uh…tea was just a bit hot."
"Really? It's sat out for five minutes…must be the cup...oh well. You sure you're ok?"
"Yes, I'm sure.'
"Ok, good. We wouldn't want you to get that tongue of yours burned now would we?" He winked and smirked.
Is he fucking flirting with me? What the fuck? On a totally different topic, that was hot.
"Are you flirting with me?"
"Maybe. Maybe not. Do you want me to be?"
What the hell? Since when did Eren act like this? Sure, it's totally hot, but unexpected.
"Uh…Um…I-" He closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I was just joking Levi," he laughed. "Don't even try to answer that."
He laughed again, leaving Levi with butterflies in his stomach.
What is this kid doing to me? Actually, what am I letting the kid do to do me?
"Um...ok. So…"
"God, Levi. You suck at making conversation."
"That's because I don't normally need to…" He mumbled barely loud enough for the other to hear him.
"Fine, I'll do it then. What's your favorite color?"
"Really? My favorite color? Is that all you could think of?"
"Do you have anything better, Grumpy?"
"Hmph. It's grey. What's yours?" Levi didn't exactly enjoy this, but at the same time he did.
"Oh, mines purple."
"Purple? I expected blue or green or something."
"Nope. It's purple. Is that a problem?" The sudden hostility startled Levi, especially over a damn color.
"What? No! I just thought it'd be something else…"
"God, Levi. You're so easy!" Eren laughed again.
"W-What is that supposed to mean!?"
"It means you can chill the fuck out. Just because I'm gay doesn't mean you should be nervous. Is this about the day I got…the news and you halfway told me you liked me?"
Oh shit...I totally forgot about that and it's not like I can tell him off…it was a bad day for him and if try to say anything like "I didn't mean it" or "I was just trying to make you feel better" it Be a lie and 2. Might hurt his feelings...
"Look kid, I don't think I have to spell it out that I like you. Hell, most people know that I'm asexual, well, demisexual now, but that's not the point. You probably don't think of me that way anyways. But no, it is not specifically about that day."
"W-Wait- you l-like me?"
"I guess I do have to spell it out for you. Yes, Brat, I like you. Deal with it."
"Oh, I'll deal with it that's for sure. Rivaille, would you like to date me?"
"Wait what? You're serious? Look kid, you don't know what you're getting yourself into. You already know how much of an ass I am so that should be a good enough reason to not wanna date me."
"Damnit Levi, just answer the fucking question."
Alright! Fine! I'll go out with your cute ass!" Oh fuck…I called him cute in his face…that was not supposed to happen, even if we're dating..
"You think I'm cute?" Eren gave him an eager look.
"Yea, sure. But don't let it fool you, it's all in the eyes baby." What the fucking hell am I thinking? Calling him baby? We literally just started dating! Get your head together Levi or he'll rethink his choice of dating you!
He saw a blush rise on Eren's cheeks. He really is cute though… Levi admitted to himself.
"T-Thanks…I guess this means we're dating, right? Oh, this is so exciting…I've never dated anyone before!"
Levi almost spat out his tea.
"WHAT?!" YOU'VE NEVER DATED ANYONE?! HOW?!"
"I'm not exactly boyfriend material, Levi."
"Sure looks like you are to me…"
He saw Eren blush again and almost smiled.
Levi let out a yawn and looked at the time- 4:00 pm.
"Hey Brat, you wanna head to my dorm and take a nap?"
"Fuck that sounds great. Let's go."
They practically fell on the bed when they arrived to Levi's dorm.
"Hey Levi?" He heard the other whisper and hummed in response.
"Can we cuddle? Please?"
"Fine, Baby." He smirked when he saw Eren blush for god knows what time that day and embraced the kid. They soon fell peacefully asleep in each others arms.
