(눈_눈)

            The castle was quiet this fine morning. All was well… Except Levi wasn’t. He had barely slept all night and he was stiff as a board. He bit his lip as he looked into eyes that resembled the ocean. The worst part was that the prince had gotten up before Levi did. Levi was known for getting up early… But this couch had another idea. So Levi was very surprised when the prince had woken him up. Levi felt like he only slept an hour. He blinked at the prince who had a toothy grin on his face… and that was when Levi realized that he lost that bet. “Did you sleep well?”

            “No. Does it look like I slept well?”

            Eren made a hum of amusement, “Nope. You actually look terrible. Do you want me to help you up?”

            “Thanks your highness, I try.” Levi said sarcastically. He waved Eren’s hand away as he said, “I’ll get up on my own.” But as he did, he grimaced as his neck hurt and his back hurt. What had this couch done to him? It was comfortable to sit in yet horrendous to sleep on.

            “So do you regret sleeping on the couch?”

            You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Levi sighed as reluctantly nodded. “I’ll admit that I do regret sleeping on the couch…” Sleeping on the couch hurt more than sleeping on the floor. The only difference was that the floor was dirty. Levi contemplated if comfort should come before cleanliness… Levi knew in his heart that being clean was well worth discomfort. Levi slowly stood up, stretching his arms above his head which caused his night shirt to lift slightly.

            Unbeknownst to Levi, a pair of ocean eyes darted to see that exposed skin. Levi was a diamond, a hidden gem and didn’t even know it. Sure his personality was slightly rude and sarcastic but Eren didn’t mind it. Levi was the only one who didn’t seem to be intimidated by him nor care that he was the prince. He was himself around Eren which was something rare. Eren couldn’t help but to be slightly intrigued by Levi despite only just gaining his company yesterday… Eren had been upset that Levi didn’t sleep with him… He assumed that Levi was trying to be modest, which was respectable… But Eren wanted his company, whether it was sexual or not, and tonight he’d get his company. He didn’t care if he sounded childish or perverted. Let him think what he wants. “So… You’ll sleep in my bed, won’t you? After all, you did lose that bet.” That seemed to catch Levi’s attention. After he was done stretching his brows furrowed.

            “I don’t recall agreeing to that…” His gray eyes looked into Eren’s ocean eyes. Levi wasn’t sure if he was comfortable with the idea… And he also felt like there was an underline meaning to Eren’s request. Yet… Eren seemed desperate for company… What Levi didn’t understand was, why couldn’t Eren have picked someone else? Surely there were suitors or princesses who would lay with Eren? However Eren still seemed to be insistent. Levi pondered for a moment before continuing to speak. “What about getting me a servant room? I thought you agreed to look into that.”
