A/N: well I hope you all enjoy the chapter! ~

"Hanji… I fucked up." Levi let out a muffled yell with his face pressed into the arm of her couch in her apartment. After last night's escapade out of the dorm, he rushed right to his best friends house. He was more than just appalled - he was wondering how he could even live with himself now knowing he did just a stupid, stupid thing. He's supposed to slowly get Eren to like him, not fucking spit in his damn face!

Hanji walked out of her bathroom with a fluffy robe on and eyed the man wallowing in his self pity on her couch. She sighed. "Yeah, you tend to do that a lot and I figured something was really up with you pounding at my door in the middle of the night."

Levi turned his head so he could look up to her, face blotched red from having it smushed against the couch for nearly the whole morning. "No, I really fucked up."

"Alright, alright. Lets talk about it then, you precious babe." Hanji walked over to sit beside Levi on the beige couch and just curiously looked at her best friend that was having such an existential crisis.

"Promise me you won't laugh." He wouldn't dare give her eye contact. It was a bit fruitless to ask her not to laugh because hes almost one hundred percent positive she will anyway after he asks her not to. He's living on a prayer that she doesn't and actually listens to him for once like a good best friend is supposed to do.

"I can't make promises like that, Levi." She responded almost immediately after he finished his request.

"Promise me you won't fucking laugh." He lifted his upper body off of the arm so he was sitting normally on the couch and looked over to her with a glare and set mouth.

Her eyes widened. "Okay, okay! I won't laugh. Pinky promise." To further prove her point, she closed her hand and left one finger out - her pinky.

Levi waited a few seconds and looked around her living room before answering her in a voice above a whisper, completely ignoring her finger. "I…kinda spit on him."

She pulled her hand back and blinked. "What?"

"You heard me. I fucking spit on him." He hissed and whipped his head towards her to send another grim glare, his black hair swinging in his eyes.

Hanji set her sights on something on the table and seemed like she was deep in thought. She soon interrupted her silence by suddenly letting out a whooping laughter, falling off the couch clutching her sides. Levi felt a sweltering anger rise in him.

"You said you wouldn't laugh!" He felt his face go crimson with embarrassment once more at the sight of the woman before him reacting to his idiotic actions.

"A-ah but y-you.. !" She tried to get a sentence out to retort to him but her laughing and heavy intakes of air was preventing her from doing so. Levi got up and nudged her roughly in the side with his big toe, forcing her to curl in on herself and soon her laughing started to be muffled by the carpet underneath her.

"Stop laughing at me… you're killing me even more here." Levi said solemnly and looked down on her. She rolled over on her back and let out the rest of her giggles once she seen that he wasn't going to prod at her body any longer. She let out a big sigh.

"So… you spit on him. How does one manage that?" She let out a few more giggles. "I mean gathering up the saliva in your mouth without realizing it?" She looked up at him sceptically. But who couldn't blame her though, the words pouring out of his mouth didn't actually sound convincing. Especially because of the fact that he suposably likes the boy.

He inched over a bit to the side, adjusting his stance awkwardly "Well, not exactly spit with saliva or anything, more along the lines of spit my tea out on him."

"No! You didn't!" She sat up almost inhumanly fast with her legs crossed and looked back up at him.

"So now you react how I wanted you to in the first place?" He scowled at her, but joined her on the floor and sat across from her once she started patting the empty space.

"Where exactly did you spit your drink out on him? I mean if it was maybe his shoes you could pull it off as an accident. You never know!" She beamed at him and shrugged her shoulders and played around with the ends of her robe. Oh if only it was his shoes, Hanji, he thought bitterly.

"I-I… in his face." Levi looked down, ashamed of himself for doing such a thing. He started absentmindedly fiddling with his feet as if to help ease himself out of his mistake by preoccupying his mind and body with something else.

"Levi! How did you manage to spit your tea on his poor little head?!" She gaped at him with her mouth wide open.

Levi shot up his bowed head and practically shouted his answer in her face. "I honestly don't fucking know!"

He then delved into the story of how Eren started messing around with her stupid comment about being like an old married couple - Hanji laughed at that part obviously - and skipped the parts where he thought Eren really cared about him to save himself from being laughed at even more by Hanji, and then told her about the incident of why he was here in the first place.

"You spit the drink out on him all because of a simple matter like that? You're acting like such a virgin." She snickered and started poking at his shoulder. He swatted at her everytime she dived to do it again until she stopped.

"I won't even comment on your idiotic statements Hanji and yes, I spit it out on him because of a matter like that." He dropped his face into his hands and started to roughly rub. "What should I do?"

"Obviously go apologize. Maybe give him some in-game gold… No! I have the perfect idea! Do nice things for him for a day, at least. I mean that's what I would appreciate if someone, you know, spit their drink on me." Levi removed his hands from his face and looked at her to search her face if she was being serious. She had that stupid grin she always has. She's being serious.

"Hell no! I'm not gonna be his bitch for a day!"

"Now, now, I didn't say those exact words - "

"But I know you fucking meant it that way." He interjected, glaring at her.

She looked at him gravely and threw herself so close to his face that Levi could feel and smell her omelette-breath. "It is the only way. I swear upon my cats, it is. " He leaned back and turned his face away from the foul smell and eyed her warily. Sometimes Hanji's advice isn't something to be taken for granted but sometimes it can be downright ridiculous. If she is also swearing on her cats, her lovely little 'babies', then she must have a valid reason for her suggestion. Weighing down the options, he thought for a few moments before he spoke.

"R-really?" He murmured thoughtfully and narrowed his eyes.

"Look at you, becoming so timid. Of course!"

"Shut up. Why did I even decide to listen to you for just a second… "

"Look at it this way, if Eren see's a change in your demeanor and see's you actually trying to atone for your actions, then he'll forgive you. " She crossed her arms, nodded her head and smirked.

"I guess you have a point but if this goes to shit, I'm kicking your ass."

"You've got me shaking in my robes, Levi. "Hanji said and Levi shoved his foot in her face, kicking her off her ass and into a sprawled position on the floor.

After he was done with work, Levi found himself standing outside of his dorm, dressed in borrowed work clothes from Hanji, obviously, since he stormed out of here yesterday and completely forgot he actually had a job to go to in his upset endeavor to get as far away from Eren as possible . It's times like those that he blesses whatever work gods that are out there that he and Hanji ended up working in the same place, but he'll know after this is done and over with he'll be extracting that blessing and wishing that she would go get attacked by a random flock of birds. Figuratively of course. He scoffs.

Fuck Hanji and her cruddy comments and advice - if it wasn't for her spouting off her damn opinions I wouldn't be in this situation! I can't get out of this now either since I'm already here… and so is Eren probably.

Leaving all regrets behind in his wake, he pulled a straight face and silently opened the door to the dorm and peeked inside. Eren was laying down, head resting on his pillow with the covers pulled over his head, but that's not new. Levi didn't risk waking up the sleeping boy so he squeezed in and shut the door gently. Once he was in he breathed a sigh of relief and creeped over to his bed to sit down.

After a few minutes of absently watching Eren sleep and deciding the best course of action, he called out to him.

"... Eren?"

He received no answer. He really was just ready to get this over with, and he was (almost) fully prepared to at least do what Eren asks of him for only today and today only.

He got up from his bed and went over to Erens'.

"Eren." Levi gently shook his shoulder, or what he presumed was his shoulder with the positioning of the covers, to wake up him and still received no answer from the supposed slumbering boy. He pulled the covers down and he seen Eren's turquoise eyes open and seen he was fully awake. Eren flashed his eyes up angrily to Levi and ripped the bedsheets back from him to cover himself once more. Levi stood there in mock surprise. Of course he knew that Eren would be mad at him but he never expected him to outright ignore him like this. Levi knew he had no to right to be angry at the boy since what he did was pretty disrespectful himself so he pushed the feeling of annoyance down and proceeded to complete his apology.

"Eren listen, I'm sorry about what I did." Levi sighed when he still got no answer. What else was he supposed to do when Eren was so keen on ignoring him under those damnable sheets of his?

"..."

He bent down to poke harshly at the body under the covers. "Hey… I'm trying to apologize here."

He finally got an answer but it was shouted at him. "You spit that tea out in my face, Levi!"

Like Levi thought, he held a pretty fastidious grudge on him for it. He took a big breath of air and replied as clear as he could. "I know! And I'm trying to say sorry because of it! It must have been gross and just a downright asshole move and I'm apologizing for it, okay?"

"It really hurt my pride." Came a muffled reply.

"I know, I'm sorry."

"I'm traumatized from it now, what are you gonna' do?" Another mumbled retort.

"I know, I'm… what?" Levi's eyes narrowed at what Eren had said. Traumatized? How could he possibly be traumatized? He knows its not something everyone wants to happen to them but enough so that they become trauma... oh.

"You're what?" Eren asked and Levi rolled his eyes at the reply, feeling the prickling sensation of annoyance again.

"You little shit -" Levi held himself back from finishing the sentence since this was of course supposed to be his apology, he'll let Eren take advantage of it. "- … I'm sorry."

"I'm still angry. I had to change my bed sheets too." Eren murmured.

"... Then let me make it up to you." Levi felt like he was going to be sick with his next words. He really doesn't like to show a compassionate side. "Just let me… do things for you for the rest of the day. Anything. I'm sorry, okay?"

This piqued Eren's interest because he finally let go of his death grip on his covers and slowly lowered it down to his chin and stared at Levi for a good few seconds before replying to his offer.

"... Anything?"

"That's what I just said, wasn't it? I'm not repeating myself." Levi looked away from the vibrant eyes and fidgeted with the anticipation of wondering if this will possibly suffice for an apology. He really didn't want him to stay angry at him - his heart couldn't take it. Well it probably could but he'd rather not experience those types of feelings.

Eren pursed his lips and looked around the room before answering. "... I guess that could work."

He was going to fucking kill Eren.

As soon as he accepted his offer, he jumped out of the bed, nudging Levi in the process, and went to his hamper to pour his clothes out on the floor and demanded that he washed them all as well as fold them since he was 'complaining about them just the other day'. He said all of this with a smirk on his face - who knew a devil existed in such a beautiful, innocent looking boy? Levi certainly didn't and it just served to irk him more.

So here Levi was, in the dorm residence halls' laundry room, washing the guy's clothes. It sucked even more because the little shithead has stains on almost every single piece of clothing. How is someone so clumsy? Just thinking about makes him scrub more furiously at the fabric.

Once he was done washing and folding them all, he placed them neatly in the clothes bin and made his way back to the dorm. Opening the door, he received no greetings but that was to be expected in this situation. Once he set the hamper in the corner where it was normally set he turned over to Eren that was sitting in his wheely chair at his computer, caught up in some game.

"Here's your clothes. Is that all?"

"I thought you said the rest of the day? If I remember correctly that was just two hours worth." Eren said without looking over his shoulder. This really will be the death of him, having to hold back all of these remarks he wants to spout out at Eren. He just stood there with wide eyes.

"Oh, I am so sorry. What else did you have in mind?" Levi said with dripping sarcasm.

"Well… I was just going to ask you to play WoW with me the rest of the evening."

Levi wasn't going to lie, that sounded really fishy. There was absolutely no way Eren wouldn't take advantage of this offer he had been given. He gave the brunette a suspicious look but nonetheless agreed.

"Hmmm, oh really? … Okay then."

The duo found themselves sitting next each other for their normal PvP sessions, but Levi couldn't help but stare at the brunette the whole time with shrinking eyes. Eren just had a small smile on his face as he was setting up all of his laptop devices in their normal spot. Once everything was set up and they were in game, he finally asked him.

"So, what are we doing?"

"Playing." Eren said and Levi had to hold himself back from flinging himself at the boy just to hit him senselessly. Not violently of course, but soft little hits of love - that's what he likes to tell himself.

"No shit. But what are you wanting me to do?"

Eren turned over to look him in the eye with his brows furrowed. "Well, I was thinking, you're always letting me die in every single battleground we enter. I want you to follow me everywhere and make sure I don't die. Not once." He enunciated the last two words.

Levi raised his eyes at the request. He normally always let's Eren die because to him its personally hilarious to see how riled up he gets about it, so he guesses it's actually not too bad of a demand.

"So you want me to grab a healer?"

"No, why don't you just bring your warrior and I'll bring my priest."

Levi thought about it some more as to why he was requesting for him to bring his warrior and voiced the only reason why he would ask such a thing. "So what you're saying is you just want me to be your tank - taking all the damage - while you're just my pocket healer?"

Eren turned wide eyes to him and yelled. "Yeah!"

"I have to hand it to you, you're really not taking advantage of this as I thought you would." Levi shook his head and chuckled

Eren turned back to his laptop, lowered his eyes and bowed his head as if thoughtfully."Well, I would like to know what it at least feels like to be a bit on par with your level and skill… "

How could Levi have forgotten? This boy has admired his in game skills for the longest time, ever since the first time they had ever played together. Levi, at the time though, purposefully made it so he looked ten times better than he actually was - but it was still enough to make the boy stick to him like glue. Levi smiled at the warm thought.

"Then let's get started then."

Thus began their seemingly neverending cycle of Levi always being commanded to either carry a flag, defend a base, or simply asked to attempt to steal a base heavily populated with Alliance just for the hell of it knowing that Levi couldn't possibly live through it. Doing so made their team lose almost all of the time because one of the few players that knew what they were doing kept going on suicide missions randomly and forced to sit through thirty seconds of each resurrection timer. Let's just say the chat was blowing up telling Levi to go 'Fuck off', 'get off the road noob', and Eren's personal favorite 'at least your guildie knows what the fuck he's doin', provoking an aggravated eye twitch from the pissed-off short man.

"Levi…"

"What the fuck do you want this time." Levi was getting tired of the shit he keeps pulling.

"Defend me. I want to get the capture the flag achievement."Eren replied and Levi looked at him curiously, and of course, dubiously.

"Do you honestly think you can do it? You do know you can't get distracted in the middle of the map, and don't stop to heal anyone either or else the other team, if they're paying attention, will gank your ass. " Levi could name off several other reasons as to why it was a bad idea and that the kid probably couldn't do it but he would save that for some other time.

Eren gripped his mouse harder and pressed his lips together in an annoyed fashion, giving him a tight-lipped reply. "Argh, Levi, I know! Just do it. Please."

Levi turned back over to his own game and hit the queue pop up to enter Warsong Gulch. "And don't you dare fucking run away from me like all other carriers do or I swear to god -"

"Yes, yes! Now please, just do it."

Apparently the Alliance had some pretty decent players on their team as well because the battleground has lasted for about twenty minutes and their scores were two-three on both sides. Deciding to finally cave in and help Eren with his request, Levi told Eren to follow him to the enemy team's base to grab the flag. After finally killing a death knight and paladin duo defending the base that really were too much of a pain in the ass, Eren said "those bastards just didn't know when to die did they?! That was way too hard!" to which Levi just replied, "Eren, its PvP. Just think about that for a little bit and let it sink in."

"I know half our team is dead, but just get to our fucking base and cap and we'll win. They're too distracted in the middle." Levi looked over to Eren and seen that the boy was sweating profusely.

They were both able to successfully stealth past both their team and enemy team dicking around in the middle and made it to their base with almost no hindrances, save a rogue that kept sapping Levi and repeated the process the whole time. After getting fed up with it, Levi found the rogue and commenced with killing it as brutally as possible, they made it to the base and earned their team a win and Eren's little achievement. Eren started practically bouncing where he sat and looked to Levi with glistening eyes, excitement shimmering in his emerald depths. Levi's breath got caught in his throat at the sight.

"I did it - we did it!" Eren shouted and grinned at him.

Levi was proud of him because this was the first time Eren was competent enough to actually listen to his heedings for once, and following his own instincts at the same time. Might as well congratulate him for it since he deserves it, no matter how much he helped him.

So he's this excited all because I helped him for once?

Levi glanced to Eren with his lids lowered, tenderly gazing at him while he was basking in his elation. "Yeah… congrats."
