Chapter 3
Levi walked towards the queen size bed, "Eren scoot over, you're hogging the bed."
Eren mumbled sleepily, not fully paying attention to what he said.
"Plus, you're on top of the covers." Levi crosses his arms over his bare chest. 'Did he seriously fall asleep already?'
He went to grip the covers, pulling it under Eren with a quick movement that caused him to fall off the bed.
"Oof!", Eren grumbled, rubbing his ass after getting up. "What was that for?"
Levi didn't answer him, he took the opportunity to go lay down on the comfy bed – his backside towards Eren – properly covering himself with the white covers as that was the intended use. Eren ruffled his brown hair before joining him under the covers. He does a big stretch before making himself comfortable to have a peaceful sleep, not caring that one of his legs is laid over Levi's. I mean, the whole point of sleep is to feel relaxed, right? Not straight and stiffed.
Levi faced towards Eren, moving his leg off of him. "Stay on your side of the bed."
"Sorry sir, I was just getting comfortable," he said, staring into his eyes. "And your body heat felt kind of nice."
Levi simply stared at him as Eren scoots closer, watching how his green gaze travels up from his stomach, "You know, I may have forgiven you but I still expect you to make it up to me for roughing me up at court." His hungry lips centimeters away from Levi's … but next thing he knew, he was pushed back with Levi's fingertip on his forehead.
"Watch it brat," said Levi, using all of his remaining energy to restrain himself from kissing him – unbeknownst to Eren. "Go to sleep." He gave him his back once again since that'll make it easier for him to control his growing urges. 'I need to request another bed soon or there's no point of me training Eren about self-control…'
Eren slowly blinked as Levi turned over … hasn't he been showing signs of interest? 'Sheesh, maybe it was all in my head.' Eren faced the opposite of him, a little annoyed of himself for thinking that there was a possibility of the great Levi being into him. 'I'm such an idiot.'
The pair stayed on their side of the bed as they drift into sleep…
The next morning…
Levi slowly opened his eyes as he felt himself getting pulled, 'Huh?' Now becoming aware of the bulge that's poking underneath his ass.
"Didn't I say to stay on your side of the bed?"
Eren woke up with the sound of his voice, "You can't get mad at me." Letting Levi go as he sits up, stretching his arms up in the air. "Must have done it in my sleep."
Levi got up to go to the bathroom, "Hurry up and get ready before we're late for the meeting with the team." Stopping in front of the sink to begin his routine, an arm reaching over him to grab a toothbrush – side eyeing Eren.
"What?", said Eren, joining Levi. "You said to hurry up so might as well get ready together."
'I need a raise…', thought Levi.
They quickly got dressed and head on towards the conference room, seeing that the commander and squad leaders are already seated – greeting one another. There was a long wooden table in the center of the room, with Erwin seated on one end and the rest split on each side. Levi sat down next to Hange and pulled out the chair next to him for Eren.
"This meeting will be quick," Erwin said. "I want to inform you guys that our upcoming mission will take place 30 days from now, our objective is to set up resupply points outside Wall Rose. Eventually helping us complete our main purpose, to see what resides in Eren's basement in Shiganshina."
"30 days?", said Mike. "Isn't that too soon for our new recruits? The training corps will be graduating tomorrow."
"Hm, that's if we get any new members.", Levi stated. "They're probably all afraid of titans after that whole ordeal."
"Perhaps…. but regardless if we get any new recruits or not, it is still in our best interest to commence in the expedition as soon as we can," said Erwin. "The last thing we want is to give any reason for the Military Police to take an appeal."
"Why do I feel like you're not telling us everything about this mission?", wondered Mike.
Erwin sat there quietly before opening his mouth, "I will regroup with the squad leaders two weeks before our mission to explain further details. Levi, your job for now is to polish Eren's skills and take charge of his transformation exercises. That'll be all."
"Wa-wait sir," Hange called out. "Will it be alright if I borrow Eren tomorrow to help me out with some experiments on the two titans we captured?"
"Since Levi is in charge of Eren, I will leave that decision up to him … I'll see everyone at the ceremony." Erwin left the room with Mike in pursuit.
Hange turns to Levi, "So Levi, can I –"
"No."
"Oh come on, what is he even going to do tomorrow?"
"Clean the castle," he simply stated. "It'll take more than today to make this filthy castle spotless."
"If that's the case, I'm sure Eren will have more fun helping me out instead," said Hange, looking at the quiet teenager. "Right, Eren?"
"Uh … I don't think I can voice an opinion regarding my schedule," said Eren.
"So the answer is no," Levi affirmed. "He can help you some other day."
"Pfft." Hange crosses her arm in disappointment. "Fine." She then stood up to exit the room.
"I'll be cleaning today?", asked Eren. "Shouldn't we train as soon as possible? The mission is not far from now."
"Tsk," Levi stood up. "I will not be staying a second longer in a dusty castle … so follow me outside, I will be introducing you to the rest of my squad. They will also be joining us in our cleaning session."
They head on outside the castle to meet up with the rest of the squad members, who were tending to the horses.
"Good morning everyone, this right here is Eren Yeager," announced Levi. "He will be officially joining my squad."
Eren glanced at the four soldiers, 'They'll be the one to help Levi kill me if I were to ever lose control…'
A tall, light brown-haired man – that's weirdly styled the same way as Levi's undercut - approached Eren, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. "I'm Oluo Bozado, proud member with the highest kill count," his casual demeanor dimming. "Meaning I don't care if you're a Titan, Levi and I will be able to handle you."
"Aren't you forgetting about us?", a disgruntled blonde woman called out.
"Oh Petra," Oluo sheepishly said. "I was just about to mention you guys, you know."
"You may have the highest kill count but don't forget who's second in command," said a tall man with a blond bun that's parted in the middle. "I'm Eld Jinn, and this man next to me," he points at a man with dark hair that's spiked to a point. "Is Gunther Schultz."
"It's nice to meet you all," Eren said awkwardly.
"Alright, now that introductions are over…", said Levi, magically pulling out a broom and feather dust from his back, "Let's get down to business."
Levi distributed equal sections of the castle to each member to clean as it was gigantic, letting them know that his standards are very high when it comes to cleaning. After a few hours of hard labor, Eren walked into the room that Levi was busy cleaning with the intentions of telling him that he was done, but noticed that he was having a hard time reaching a high spot with his feather dust. He came up behind him, his left hand resting on Levi's arm while the other grabs the feather dust from him to help clean the spot. Levi was delightfully shocked when he felt Eren's warm presence pressed against him.
"There ya go," said Eren, giving the feather dust back.
Levi spun around, "… thanks."
"Since I'm done with the upstairs and you love to clean," Eren said softly, gently raising Levi's chin. "How about you help clean my dirty mind?"
A light blush spread across Levi's pale cheeks, 'He's making this so damn hard…' He slowly pushes Eren away as he felt him closing in the distance between them, clearing his throat.
"I'm going to go check how you did with the upstairs," Levi hands him the feather dust. "Take over for me here and make sure it's spotless." He heads out to go upstairs, leaving behind a disheartened Eren.
"Hello Eren," said Petra, entering the room. "Are you upset about something?"
"Uh … no I guess," he said. "I mean, it's just Levi…"
"What about him?"
"He's so closed off," said Eren, "Well at least to me…"
"Oh, don't take it so personal," dismissing Eren's feelings. "He's like that with everybody he meets, eventually he gets … uh a bit nicer."
"Really?"
"Yeah I've heard some rumors about him," she quietly whispered. "Like how he lived in the underground as the most wanted criminal before Erwin dragged him out of there to join Survey Corps."
Eren's eyes widened, in disbelief. "He did?"
"Yeah and that on his very first expedition outside the walls, he lost two people he cared about dearly," she added. "I heard he almost went insane after that … so I mean if any of that is true, then that could explain why he's so reserved."
'Is that why he keeps pushing me away? Is he afraid to get close to someone? Levi…,' Eren thought.
"Oi Eren," said Levi, spooking the pair. "Go help prepare dinner with Eld in the kitchen."
"Yes sir."
Eren enters the deliciously aromatic kitchen, "Levi sent me here to help you … what would you like me to do?"
Eld was stirring a big pot full of vegetable soup, "You can start brewing Levi's black tea … could never go a day without tea, you know."
Eren set down a teapot filled with water on the stove, turning on the flames. He proceeds to brew and steep the tea till perfection, placing the hot tea on Levi's place of the dining table. Eren helped Eld by doing the finishing touches with setting up the table, one by one serving the plates of the participants. The rest of the squad have taken their seats, with Eld being the last one to join. Everybody said their thanks to the chef before eating.
Eren arched an eyebrow when he took notice of the weird way Levi is holding his cup whilst drinking, 'Why is he holding it like that?'
"What?", asked Levi, sensing Eren's odd stare.
"Nothing," said Eren, taking a bite of his bread.
"So, is it true captain that the commander wants the new recruits to take part in the upcoming mission?", asked Eld. "Why make them suffer even more in a very short period of time?"
"Surely that's not his plan, right?", Petra asked worriedly.
"I'm sure Erwin has thought about this plan down to the tiniest detail," said Levi.
"You're right about that but how fortunate is it for us to stumble upon an unexpected miracle," said Gunther. "One that we're still clueless about … would you care to enlighten us about how you're able to transform into a titan?"
Everybody stared at Eren, waiting for him to answer. "Uh well this might be hard to believe but I'm not entirely sure myself on how it completely works as my memories are still a bit foggy … just that I'm able to do so after receiving an open wound."
"So, I guess that means you won't be able to explain why you're even able to transform in the first place, right?", Oluo voiced out.
"No, sorry." Eren wondered to himself, 'Now that he mentioned it, was I born with this ability? Did my parents know about this? It's so frustrating not knowing anything!'
"Seems like we won't be getting any new information out of him," said Levi, clearing the table. "We should all hit the hay since we have a long day tomorrow … goodnight everyone."
Everyone departed to their respected rooms to rest for the ceremony that will take place the next day.
"I'm going to go shower," said Levi as they step into their room.
'He must have forgotten to request a bed…', thought Eren, sitting on the black loveseat. 'Well, it was a long day after all.'
A couple of minutes later, Levi steps out of the bathroom and goes in Eren to get himself ready for bed. Levi proceeds to lay down on the bed, his hand running through his hair as he stares up at the ceiling – losing himself to his thoughts.
'I wonder what Erwin is hiding from us about this mission … it must be something dire if he's really going to have new recruits partake in this. Just another round of Survey Corps losing members' lives.' He mentally pictured his old two companions. 'Isabel … Furlan … I'm still sorry that I wasn't there to protect you guys.'
Eren swings the bathroom door open, unaware that Levi is mentally going in a downward spiral.
"Where do you keep the extra covers?", asked Eren. "I want to respect your boundaries so I'll be sleeping on the little couch here."
Levi quietly answered after not saying anything right away, "It's fine … just sleep here on the bed."
"Are you sure?", he warily asked. "I really don't mind sleeping on the couch till we put another bed in here."
"Yes I'm sure … just hurry up before I change my mind," mumbled Levi, making space for Eren.
Eren can sense that there's something wrong with Levi, he's more serious than usual. "Are you okay, Levi?" Laying down next to him.
"I – I'm just tired, that's all."
Eren knew he was lying but didn't want to push it any further, keeping mind on what Petra have told him earlier. He reached out to gently caress Levi's face before resting his hand on top of Levi's, both falling asleep in that position.
The following morning…
There was a loud knock on the door, Gunther's voice calling out from the other side … "Sir, we've been summoned to quickly get to where the two captured titans are being held … there's been an incident!"
Levi and Eren found themselves in another cuddling position, this time with Levi on top of his chest as Eren's arm is placed over Levi's back.
"Go on ahead without us," Levi hoarsely shouted back. "We'll meet you guys there shortly."
Fast forward to arriving at Trost…
They were greeted with the sounds of anguished cries from Hange, blanketing over the crowd. "No! Not my beloved titans! Please please … this can't be happening!" Falling onto her knees as she grips her hair in despair.
Eren worriedly whispered to Levi, "Who do you think did this? Everybody must know how valuable these two titans were…"
"It is none of our concern," said Levi. "This investigation will fall under the Military Police so don't worry about it too much."
Erwin snuck behind Eren – faintly whispering into his ear, "What do you make out of this unique situation? Perhaps titans aren't our only enemies after all…"
Eren was bewildered by his comment but wasn't able to say anything in return as Erwin went to go leave to prepare for the upcoming ceremony. 'Does Erwin know something that we all don't?'
"Come on, let's go everybody," said Levi directly to his squad. "We've been ordered to go wait at the castle."
The Special Operations squad journeyed back to the castle to wait for the new recruitments.
The ceremony…
"All trainees must line up before the stage!", shouted the announcer. "I repeat, all trainees must line up before the stage immediately!"
The 104th cadets from the training corps all gathered up in front of the stage, among the crowd were Eren's close friends – notably anxious about the difficult decision they will have to make soon. For some reason, they're really contemplating on joining the Survey Corps. The branch that has the highest casualty … meaning they will have to experience what they did in Trost over and over again. Why would someone want to repeatedly undergo nightmarish encounters with frightening titans?
Erwin walks onto the center of the stage with his chest out, overlooking the nervous crowd before speaking, "I am the commander of the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith. Today you will be moving on to one of the three Military branches … so I'm simply here to persuade you guys into choosing mine. I will not be sugarcoating my words as I do not want anybody joining my branch who will not have the guts to stand up to titans. All of you have experienced how terrifying they can be from the battles in Trost, your mental and physical strengths being forced to reach its limit." He pauses for dramatic effect. "But keep in mind, we are officially one step closer to achieving our freedom from our century old imprisonment. All thanks to our proven trustworthy comrade, Eren Yeager. Not only did we manage to stop our enemy's progress on slaughtering mankind … we now have a prospect on learning their origin! We are confident that the answers to our questions regarding Titans resides in Eren's basement in Shiganshina. In order for us to get to the basement, we will have to retake Wall Maria. All the progress of laying down a route during our 4 years expedition has gone to waste now that the Trost gate has been permanently closed, forcing us to take the long way from the Karanes District. Those of who will be joining the Survey Corps will participate a month from now in our upcoming expedition outside Wall Rose … but within that troops, we expect thirty percent won't be coming back. Most will be dead within a four-year timeline. If you happen to survive after countless expeditions, you will be known as an outstanding soldier with a high survival rate! So ask yourself, are you willing to sacrifice your lives for humanity? If yes, please remain here. If your answer is different, please dismiss yourself. That'll be all."
All the trainees stared at each other with puzzled expressions from Erwin's speech, was he trying to recruit them or scare them away? Whatever his intentions were, it caused the departure of 98 percent of the cadets – leaving behind only those courageous trainees. There stood: Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Sasha, Conny, Christa, Ymir, Reiner, Bertholdt and a few other cadets.
"Those who have stayed, we proudly welcome you into the Scout Regiment with open arms! This is a sincere salute with all of my respect, let's give our hearts together!", Erwin yelled out, putting his right fist over his heart and left arm folded behind his back.
The remaining 104th cadets followed suit in the honorable salute with their now commander, "Yes sir!"
'I'm a dumbass…', thought Jean. 'I had the opportunity to join the Military Police but threw that away just to join the Scout Regiment.'
'I just want to go home…', thought Sasha, shivering from the fear that took over her.
'Eren…', thought Mikasa. 'I hope I get to see you soon.'
"Now we will be on our way to our headquarters to prepare for the upcoming mission," said Erwin. "Please go on ahead to the stables to retrieve a horse."
At the old headquarters…
Eren was sweeping inside the horses stable while Levi was brushing the horses.
"So tomorrow you and I will be training in the forest?", asked Eren.
"Yes, I want to see how you maneuver with the ODM gear," said Levi. "In case you need some improvement with that, and we will also be sparring."
"Sparring?", Eren smirked. "Are you giving me an opportunity to get pay back?"
Levi let out a small chuckle, surprising Eren. 'This is my first time hearing his laugh … gosh, he sounds so cute.'
"Sorry Eren, but I don't think you're going to get what you want," said Levi. "I'm far more skilled than you."
"Well I guess we'll just-," Eren looked out of the open doors as he heard some familiar voices. 'Is that Armin and Mikasa's voices? Are they here?'
"Sir, can I have permission to go see if my friends are out there?", asked Eren. "Please?"
"Hn."
Eren ran towards the door, just in time to see the backs of his friends as they're on the way towards the castle.
"Mikasa! Armin!", shouted Eren. "Everyone!"
His friend group quickly turned around as they heard his voice, not expecting to see him this soon. Mikasa instantly ran towards Eren, throwing herself at him to give him a big hug.
"Oh Eren!", she exclaimed, holding onto his shoulders as she pulled away. "Are you okay? Have they been conducting any invasive experiments on you?"
"N-no, I've been fine."
"That little twerp completely overdid it at the courtroom, it was like he was enjoying it," she bitterly said. "I'm going to make that fucker pay."
"Huh? You mean captain Levi?"
Levi steps out of the stable as if he heard the mention of his name, becoming aware of Mikasa angrily marching towards him. When she got near him, she aimed a hard punch to his face but Levi held her fist in place. Barely blocking the striking left kick that was aimed to his ribs with his other arm, causing him to feel the impact throughout his body. 'She's another Ackerman, huh?'
She shifts herself to aim an uppercut with her left arm but before she was able to make contact, Eren and Armin grabbed a hold of her – pulling her away as Levi steps back.
"Whoa Mikasa, you can't do that," said Armin, struggling to keep her back.
"Yeah Mikasa, he's a captain!", Eren grunted. "Plus, he already apologized."
She straightens herself up, tucking a rouge hair strand behind her ear. "Still doesn't make it right."
"I'll let this slide, little girl," said Levi, earning a nasty glare from Mikasa. "Only because you're an Ackerman."
"Damn Mikasa, you have balls of steel," said Reiner, patting her on the back.
"I guess this means you've all decided to join the Scout Regiment," Eren concluded. "So, the only people who ended up joining the Military Police are Annie, Jean and Marco, huh."
"Marco is dead," said Jean.
Eren spun around, "Jean? Wh-What do you mean Marco is dead?"
"I wasn't there when he died so I'm not sure what exactly happened to him but I did stumble upon his body during the cleanup of the after mass of the battle…", Jean clenches his fist in fury. "H-He must have died alone."
Eren just stared at the ground with wide eyes, a wave of disbelief washing over him. 'Marco? He's dead?'
"All the new recruitments, please come over here!", Squad Leader Ness yelled out. "Your uniforms are ready!"
The freshly joined recruitments lined up to retrieve their uniforms, which consists of only a green cloak with the Wings of Freedom on the back.
"Since this is your first day as part of the Scout Regiment," Ness announced. "We will grant you this day as a free day, and start with training tomorrow. We just ask of you guys to not go too far from here. Enjoy the rest of your day!"
Conny wrapped his arms around Armin's and Eren's shoulders, suggesting to their group. "Hey I heard they have a big lounge here in the castle, let's go check it out?"
"Sure," said Armin.
"I'll meet you guys there," said Eren, taking Conny's arm off of him to go to Levi. "I need to go ask permission first."
"Eh? Eren has a babysitter?", asked Conny, scratching his head.
"The government only gave Eren to the Survey Corps with the absolute that Levi will be supervising him," Armin informed.
"Ah."
The group headed towards the castle to go hangout in the lounge, "Do you think they'll have tasty snacks?" Sasha wondered as she rubs her growling stomach.
"Tsk, all you care about is food, potato girl," said Ymir.
Eren stopped a few inches in front of Levi who was petting his beloved horse, "Hey Levi, I just wanted to apologize in behalf of Mikasa … she can just be a little too overprotective of me."
"I can't blame her," said Levi. "I would be too."
Eren smiled at that, "Is it okay if I go hangout with my classmates for the rest of the day? It's been a while since I've seen them…"
"Yeah that's fine, just don't forget to come back up to our room when it's time for bed," said Levi.
"Oh, I could never forget to come back to you," Eren flirtatiously whispered to Levi before leaving.
Levi catches himself smiling as he watches Eren leave, rubbing the smile off his face. 'I can't let myself get close to him…'
The lounge…
As soon as Eren entered the room, Jean bombarded him for answers. "Oi Eren, is it true about what people have been saying? That you attacked Mikasa when you transformed into a titan?"
Mikasa tried to intervene, "No, Eren just lost his footing-"
"My questions weren't directed to you, Mikasa," Jean clarified. "So don't try to speak for him, especially since that wound on your cheek is pretty bad … something that you didn't have before the battle of Trost."
"No, it wasn't from Er-"
"Mikasa don't, I won't lie to them," said Eren, with a sigh. "Yeah, apparently I tried attacking Mikasa but I wasn't aware of what I was doing when it happened."
"So what you're saying is that you're not in full control of your titan?", asked Jean, rubbing his forehead. "Great, so there's a chance that one of us can die, or even be killed by you, without you even realizing it … that's what we're dealing with everybody."
"Jean, what's the point of interrogating him?", asked Mikasa. "We've all made our decision already."
"Well not everyone here is going to match your strong desire to protect Eren, whatever the cost may be," Mikasa adverted her eyes from Jean. "The rest of us here need to know what exactly are we giving up our lives for, to know if Eren is completely on our side … if it's not clear, then we might be reluctant to do so when the time comes." He grabs a hold of Eren's collar. "So please Eren, just don't think of us as if we're disposable … when we rely so much on you."
Eren felt Jean's hand shake, glancing towards the other just to see that they solemnly agree without the use of words. 'He's right, they're all counting on me despite me not having full control … I need to make sure I'm able to protect all of them.' He places his hand on Jean's.
"I won't ever think of you guys like that," said Eren. "I'll make sure that we all come out alive in the end, every time."
Everyone gave each other hopeful smiles, not knowing what's really stored for them in the future.
"Dinner is ready!", a senior soldier called out.
"Ooo! Dinner!", Sasha squealed, sprinting towards the dining hall.
All the new recruits had dinner together before pairing up to go sleep in their quarters. Eren said goodnight to his fellow friends before heading to the room that he shares with Levi, noticing that his roommate is not there. 'Hm? Must still be out there training…' He took off his clothes and went inside the shower, letting the warm water cleanse his troubled thoughts. 'I'm going to give it my all every time I train and make sure I'm in full control of myself when I transform … there's no way in hell I will be the cause of my friends' demise.' He pours a quarter size of body wash onto a loofah and proceeds to clean his whole body – a hard yank of the shower curtains catching him by surprise. "W-whoa!" He covers his soapy private with the loofah, slicking his wet hair back just to see Levi is standing there with a flushed face – finishing up his beer bottle.
"Levi? What are you doing?", he asks as he awkwardly stands there. "Are you drunk?"
"No, I just came here to ask if you're almost done," Levi said, examining Eren's naked body.
"Eh? I just started showering."
"Well if that's the case…" Levi started to undress himself till he was completely naked as well, getting inside the shower. "I hope you don't mind me joining you, I'm trying to go to sleep early tonight since we have a long day tomorrow."
"N-no, I don't mind," Eren muttered out. 'Is this really happening? He says he's not drunk but his face is not naturally flushed like that … and he smelled like beer was spilled on him.'
Levi nonchalantly started cleaning himself as if Eren wasn't standing behind him, or even tempted to hide his groin when he turned around to wash his hair. Causing Eren to quickly glance down before Levi notices, astonished by the size that Levi was blessed with. 'Is that really him soft? Geez, I wonder what it looks like when he's hard.' Levi opens his eyes when he washes off the shampoo, catching Eren's bold gaze towards his cock.
Levi smirks, "It's rude to stare, you know."
Eren blushes furiously at his comment, 'Shit, I stared at it too long.'
"Sorry."
"Hm, let me taste how sorry you are…", Levi leaned in to give Eren a kiss on the lips but Eren moved his head slightly to the side.
"You're not drunk, right?", Eren whishpered. "I don't want our first kiss to involve you being intoxicated…"
Levi guided his head back by his chin, "I was slightly buzzed when I got here but this amazing shower is already sobering me up … so don't worry, I'm doing this with a clear head."
Sparks ignited throughout Eren's body as he felt their lips brushing lovingly against each other, for the first time. A small moan came out of Eren's parted lips and Levi took that as an opportunity to stick his tongue inside to deepen their kiss. Warm tongues dancing with one another as their attentive hands caress each other's body … Levi's hand traveling down to Eren's-
"Oh Levi!", Eren gasped into his mouth, feeling himself grow under Levi's warmth.
Levi pulled away from the passionate kiss, "Sorry Eren but not yet, some other day." He then got out of the shower to dry himself up before laying down on his bed.
Eren watches him leave as he tries to catch his breath, 'Did he seriously leave me like this? What an asshole!' He turns the water cold so he can wash away all the steamy thoughts that are foggy up his mind. He heads towards their bed as he angrily dries his body, throwing the wet towel on Levi's rested head.
"You didn't have to touch me like that if you were just going to leave me literally hanging," said Eren, clearly annoyed.
Levi threw the towel on the floor, "I'm sorry, I just don't think it's time yet to take it further."
Eren begrudgingly laid down next to Levi, with his back facing him. "I'm not going to go easy on you tomorrow during our spar."
Levi chuckled, wrapping an arm around Eren as he scoots closer to him to snuggle.
"I look forward to our day tomorrow."
A/N: Sorry if I disappointed anyone here for the lack of intimate scenes between Eren and Levi … just keep in mind that this will be a slow, genuine love between them (:
