Chapter 8

Notes: heyy everyone I'm happy that I am able to post this morning, I am not sure if I'm going to post a chapter for next week, but I am going to try. Anyway this is a short chapter that leads into a few filler chapters about Halloween with pure fluff that you would die from. Nah not really but it isn't the main story line in the next few. I have 4 more chapters before all the pre-typed ones are done, so yay 4 more weeks of updates(Or hopefully). Anyways enjoy this short chapter. Tell me what you think on here, or email me at demondog136 ^^

Eren's POV

It has been a few days since the incidence, and I am lucky that no one questioned on why Levi and I missed class that day. Apparently Erwin told the teacher that we were helping him move things around in the shed out back, and that we were excessed from classes that day. At first I was afraid that Levi would treat me different when he found out about my past, but to my surprise he didn't, the only thing that seem to change is that we became a little closer since then. He asking if I slept alright, always making sure I was alright, we even started to hang out a lot more.

It was the beginning of October now meaning that fall was almost upon us, the mornings became cooler, the leaves started to change colors, and days became shorter. Of course with the beginning of October means Halloween is right around the corner, of course I didn't expect anything much. No trick-or-treating, no costumes, but I did have a good scary movie collection that I love to seat with on old Hallows eve watching. I always look forward to that day, sitting in the dark watching all the scary movies knowing every line that they are going to say, but still somehow always got scared. It's kind of strange you would have thought that after everything was done to me that I would have avoided those types of movies. If you asked me I think it is because I lived through everything that happened to me, that I know that these killers aren't the ones to be scared of, but the ones that are lurking right close to home.

Apparently I was wrong that we wouldn't be doing anything for Halloween, decorations were brought out, and we spent one whole day decorating the inside of the house up. I mean sure if you had a few cobwebs here and there, a skeletons sitting in a chair, or just a smile Jack-O-Lantern sitting on the counter. No here we hung up bats from the ceiling, put as much cobwebs as was possible, we each got our own pumpkin to carve or paint on. All and all it was the most shocking thing to me; it has been so long since I had celebrated Halloween that I forgot what it felt like to be a kid, most of my parental figures didn't have the time to take me trick-or-treating nor had the money to buy to even buy a cheap customs. Of course I was upset when I was younger, but as I grew older, I grew to not care. I would end up locking myself in my room watching scary movies, eating popcorn, and watching the little kids walking around with their parents door to door.

I stopped thinking about the past, I don't need to feel sorry for my younger self; it is something I already lived through, something I can forget all about, something that is relevant anymore. Just as soon as I stopped dwelling in the past Levi walked into the room, a towel around his shoulders, and his hair dripping wet.

"Oi, brat, stop staring," Levi said as he dries his hair with a towel, I felt my face grow hot, I quickly averted my eyes. Was I really staring at him that long?

"S-S-Sorry I didn't mean to," I quickly said feeling very embarrassed that I was staring at him, I mean we are just friends nothing more.

Levi's POV

I love teasing the little brat when I can, seeing his face grow as red as tomato, and then he starts to stutter. It is much better to see him that way than it is to see him scared whittles. After hearing his story, I felt sorry for the brat, and I feel like I can relate. He had a tough life growing up before and after the system, but is still a very sweet kid at heart. If I could do anything about those nightmares that he has, I would. I hate to see him suffer so much, imaging what has been done to him over and over. That is the reason I don't sleep much, he is very brave soul to sleep and to face those monsters once again.

I walked into our room after a shower to see him lost in thought, his eyes were glazed over but you can see the sadness within them. He noticed my presents in the room and brought his mismatching eyes to my own gray ones, I lose myself every time I see them. The gold one is fierce like the golden rays of the sun and it companion is so soft and warm like the ocean. I thought I would tease the brat a little right now to take his mind off whatever he was thinking right then.

"Oi, brat, stop staring," I said feeling a small smirk play at my lips, drying my hair with a towel so I wouldn't leave a puddle where I was standing.

Eren quickly averted his face away from me, but not before I saw how red it had become, "S-S-Sorry I didn't mean to," he quickly stammered trying to hide his embarrassment.

I chuckled at the action before me, the brat was too cute for his own good, and with his cuteness he always seemed to have my heart racing every time I look at him.

He quickly turned his head back to me, his face growing even redder than before.

Eren's POV

Levi chuckled at my reaction I have never heard such a sound come from him before, my face burned even more at his reaction. I snapped my head back at him, his chuckle was beautiful it made me wonder what his real laugh sounded like. I blinked in surprise at him and my thoughts, my face just keeps growing hotter I swear it is making its own color name here soon if this is to continue. To my surprise Levi's lip twitched up into a small smile, and it made my stomach do fucking summersaults over and over. I have no idea what was going on, and I am a little scared, what did these feeling all jumbled around mean?
