A week had passed since Eren had found Levi in a state and they'd talked, and Levi had cut himself considerably less since he'd found out from Eren that he didn't think being male and liking males was a bad thing. Eren hadn't kissed Levi since that day and he really wanted to kiss him again. He hadn't told anyone that they were dating either, he didn't want to tell Mikasa because he knew she'd go mad but he knew that Levi wouldn't mind him telling Armin as he had known before Levi that Eren had had his eye on him. He was dying to tell someone. He knocked on Armin and Connie's door as usual in the morning after waving goodbye to Levi and waited for one of them to open the door. When it opened he beamed at Armin.
"Hey! I have something to tell you, I can't hold it in anymore! I'm Levi's boyfriend!" He blurted out and Armin and Connie both looked taken aback. Armin chuckled and shook his head. Eren had always acted like a schoolboy and was being no different, practically jumping about with happiness at the news.
"That's great Eren." Armin sighed, picking up his bag, smiling at him. "You're always so excited..." He smirked, walking past him. Connie followed and locked the door.
"Congrats Eren, who asked who? And how long has it been for?" He turned to look at the brunette as he tucked his jangling keys into the pocket of his jeans.
"I did, and a week ago today!" He said incredibly proudly as the three walked down the corridor. Connie and Armin arched a brow at one another at Eren's childish attitude.
"Oh Eren..." Armin smiled with a sigh and shake of his head. Eren smirked, he knew he got excited like a child but he didn't care, it was who he was and Levi seemed to find him cute, so he definitely wasn't going to try and change any time soon.
"Are you gonna tell Mikasa?" Connie asked with a frown and he looked over at the the tall brunette on the other side of Armin. Eren shook his head.
"No, she hates Levi with a passion. She'd go all protective, thinking he was conning me or something stupid. It's best I don't tell her, at least not yet."
Eren always watched the clock during his classes and lectures now, always desperately wanting to get back to see Levi if he wasn't busy. Not only for his sake, but for Levi's because Levi seemed happier when Eren was around, even though he didn't smile – Eren knew he was happier though. Armin and his friends noticed they were seeing him less but Armin and Connie knew why so understood and kept quiet. He still spent a lot of time with them during classes and when Levi had his own classes though.
It was November 27th and Eren had been busy with courses literally all day. He hadn't seen Levi in the morning because the 19 year old had had an early lecture and Eren had been doing a big course in computer science all day. It was 7pm when he finished and dragged himself from his seat tiredly and groaned. Even Armin seemed worn down and the boy was a genius and enjoyed work. Eren ran a hand through his overly long hair and sleepily trudged his way through the corridors. When he remembered that he'd get to see Levi, he quickened his pace in anticipation. When Eren opened the door, Levi looked up from his phone and his eyes shone slightly. Eren knew that he was as glad to see him as Eren was.
"Hey Levi!" He said happily, glad to see his boyfriend. "You ok?"
"Mmhmm, how was you course?" Levi mumbled and Eren chucked his bag onto his bed before launching himself onto Levi's bed. He made the whole bed shake and Levi glared at him as he smiled cutely at him from where he was at Levi's feet. Levi had his knees up and peered around them at the teen lying on his belly with his chin on his folded arms. His legs were half off of the bed.
"Boring... I missed you. I hate computing"
"Oh." Levi looked back at his phone. Eren let out a whine and snatched Levi's phone from his hands.
"Come on, talk to me! I haven't seen you all day!" Levi glared at Eren as he took his phone and huffed, pushing the boy's hair out of his face.
"Well if I could actually see you, I might talk to you! This is ridiculous..." Eren's fringe had reached his chin and concealed his face. The rest of it was brushing his shoulders.
"I know, it hasn't been cut for months..." Eren poked his tongue out at Levi. "But I'm sorting it out tomorrow because Mikasa keeps complaining, she does it so you won't have to be moody about it after tomorrow." Levi grunted in answer and nodded.
"Good, you need it." Eren pushed himself up onto his hands and knees and crawled over to Levi and the ravenette scowled as his annoying room-mate squished next to him on the bed, nearly pushing him off of it. Eren looked at him with a smile and Levi glared at him but Eren knew he didn't mind that much.
"So what have you been doing all day?" Eren asked and Levi shrugged.
"Nothing, just stayed here and had one lecture..."
"You didn't go and do anything?" Eren frowned. "Have you actually eaten?" Eren asked and watched Levi closely. "And don't lie."
"No. Not hungry." He mumbled. Eren narrowed his eyes and poked Levi in the stomach, making him growl in annoyance.
"You're too thin Lee, you need to eat." Levi hissed at the use of the name 'Lee' but let it slide. "Come on, you're coming with me." Before he could react, the brunette had pushed down the lid of Levi's laptop, snatched up his hand and pulled him off of the bed.
"But Eren-"
"Nope. No 'buts'." Eren pushed a finger to Levi's soft lips and Levi glared icy fire at him through his blue-grey eyes. Eren let go of his hand for a moment to zip up his hoodie and gestured for Levi to do the same. Levi huffed and rolled his eyes as he did as he was told. Eren dragged the scowling Levi to the door and opened it. They didn't bother to lock it as they would only be gone a short while and Eren pulled him down the corridor. It was dark outside because it was winter and the stars were twinkling brightly like fairy lights amongst the ebony blackness. Eren pulled Levi out of the college and into the chilly street. Levi shivered and pulled his hood up. Eren blew on the air and he saw a cloud of steam fly into it. His teeth started to chatter and he tugged on Levi's hand.
"Come on you." They headed through the streets that smelt strongly of petrol and were busy even though it was dark. Eren headed to a chip shop and Levi was yanked inside behind him. They sighed in relief as the warm air hit them and Levi rubbed his numb red nose. He really should get some warmer clothes, his hoodie was only thin. He waited by the door as Eren ordered them a box of chips each. He brought them over to Levi and handed one to him before opening the door and walking out. Levi followed and took up Eren's hand when they got back out into the cold. Eren smiled as Levi took control and Levi pulled him down the pavement. His grip tightened on Eren's hand when they crossed the road but Eren stayed silent. He knew Levi worried about his safety and he wanted to make sure Levi felt he was ok, even if it did look as if Levi was a mother taking a little kid across the road. Levi knew a place where it was warm and food was allowed so he led Eren through the streets to a sort of art museum place. He knew Eren liked art anyway, so it seemed like the perfect place. It was just local work but he hoped Eren would still like it, even if Levi wasn't interested in art because he was absolutely useless at drawing. They headed through the streets, surrounded by the noise of bustling people and the honking of car horns. Eren kept looking at the Christmas displays in windows but Levi never even glanced at one. He wondered if Levi had ever had a proper Christmas.
"Levi, where are we going?" He asked around his chattering teeth.
"It's just over there, don't worry." Levi reassured him and after about a minute, they were back in the warmth. Eren pulled his hood off and looked around him to see where they were. He saw a sign pointing to an exhibition of some sort and turned to Levi.
"What is this place?"
"An art... thing. I know you like drawing and I know you're allowed food here so I thought we might as well come in here." Eren smiled. Levi always tried to make him happy when he could and was in the mood.
Eren led Levi through the exhibition, munching his chips. Levi ate the occasional one. Levi didn't really take any interest in the art but just followed after Eren. He looked at Eren through his hair most of the time, he was so handsome and adorable. It was only a small exhibition so it only took 5 minutes to go around the whole thing. They sat down on a bench at the end of it and Eren rested his cheek on Levi's head sleepily.
"This place was a good idea." He admitted and glanced down at Levi's chip box. "You haven't eaten much Lee, come on." He shouldered him lightly and Levi looked at the chips moodily.
"You're in the habit of not eating. You need to eat more. Come on." He reached into his own box and pulled out a chip, moving it towards Levi's mouth. The male shyed away from it.
"Eren, that's embarrassing you brat." He wrinkled his nose. "And that has vinegar on, it smells disgusting."
"You might like it! Try it!" Eren pushed it against Levi's lips and Levi turned his head away stubbornly. Eren rolled his eyes. "You're acting like a child, come on Levi. Try it? For me?" Levi turned and glared at him. Eren looked down at him with the sad puppy eyes he knew Levi couldn't resist, making the older male shift uncomfortably.
"Fine..." He huffed in annoyance and Eren grinned in triumph, ready to feed it to him. "Woah, not so fast." Levi took it from him. "I can feed myself. Oi, no pouting!" He shoved the chip against Eren's pouting mouth.
"Hmm...!" Eren mumbled in protest and opened his mouth, letting Levi feed him it. Levi looked at him in disgust and wiped his fingers on Eren's shoulder.
"Ugh, disgusting..." Eren handed him another chip.
"Right, eat it." Levi rolled his eyes and sniffed it, coughing at the smell.
"Ugh..."
"Go on!" Levi sighed and nibbled off the end before grimacing.
"No." He shook his head. "Don't like it." He put it back in Eren's box.
"Well you tried, that's all I asked." Eren smiled at him and put an arm around him, giving him a squeeze.
The two stayed there for about 20 minutes while Eren tried to get Levi to eat more and ended up eating half of the box for him. Levi ate the other half though which was an achievement, even if it definitely wasn't enough food or one day. They headed back to the college and back to their room. They went for showers and then Eren cuddled up beside Levi on the shorter male's bed. He rested his head on his shoulder and laid one hand on his chest as he watched Levi on his phone. After a while, his eyelids began to droop. When Levi looked down at him, the teen was breathing deeply, still cuddled up to him, fast asleep. He'd managed to fall asleep on top of him and he gripped Levi's shirt slightly in his sleep. Levi smiled slightly, brushing some of the boys hair from his face. He looked so cute and peaceful. He pulled the covers up over them quietly so that Eren would be warm before whispering, "Goodnight Eren..." and going back onto his phone. Shockingly, at about 1am Levi rested his cheek on Eren's head and managed to drift off to sleep too. The two stayed in one another's arms like that all through the night; even Levi's insomnia couldn't keep him awake with Eren so cutely cuddled up to him like that.
