▪Steel Eyed Saviour▪ (~Eren x Levi~)

.:White Rose:.

Levi and I arrived at our destination 30 minutes after we left parking deck. The rain had calmed down, but still steadily fell from the sky. Entering Red Lobster, a waiter kindly took us to our seats. We scanned the menu for anything appetizing, as Levi cleared his throat and closed the menu.

"Eren, how much have you been thinking?" He asked, folding his arms on the table.

"Come again?" I asked, not quite getting his question.

"About me. You had a funny gaze when I first met you at Starbucks yesterday. I just want to know." Levi seemed to be holding back a smirk, which caused my face to burn in embarrassment. I started to respond, but the waiter returned, ready to take our orders.

     Levi got the fish and chips platter, while I got lobster tails and popcorn shrimp. We sat in silence until our meal came, almost half an hour later.

"Would either one of you gentlemen care for a spirit?" The waiter asked, pulling out his pen and notebook.

"I-I'm too young." I stuttered, returning to my food.

"Long Island Ice Tea, if you would." I opened my eyes wide at Levi, as the waiter left to fulfill the order.

"Levi! Why are you getting alcohol?" I whisper-yelled, dropping my fork.

"What? You can drive, can't you?" He looked at me like I was stupid!

"I don't do well in the dark or the rain, Levi." I slumped back in my seat, annoyed.

     The night went on, and so did the Long Island Ice Teas. First it was 1, then 2, then a strawberry margarita, and then another one of those awful smelling teas. It got so bad, that they refused to serve him anymore alcoholic beverages. Trying to help him walk, I took his arm in mine, paid the bill, and left. He was so drunk and ordered so many drinks, I doubt I'll have a paycheck this week! We got out to the Impala, as I helped Levi into the passenger seat.

"Levi, what's your address so I can take you home?" I asked, not bothering to look at him while I stuck the keys in the ignition.

"Howsa...howsa bout...you show me w-where you *hiccup* live, sweetheart?" I looked over at the man who just got hired as a prestigious college professor, and sighed heavily.

     If I didn't know where Levi lived, I'd have to keep him over.

*Time Skip* 

     I practically had to drag Levi to my apartment. He kept trying to hit on maids and desk clerks from the front lobby. Once we got inside my apartment, however, Otto was laying on the couch I had planned to put Levi on.

"Hey, boy. Sorry about this, but you're going to have to move." I walked over carefully nudging Otto, but keeping Levi in my grasp still.

     I laid him down gently, since he was short his whole body fit on the couch without a problem. I walked into my bedroom to get spare pillows for him. Once I came back, Levi was knocked out cold. He didn't snore, which was a HUGE relief. Delicately placing the pillows under his head, I draped a Star Wars blanket over his body. Walking into the kitchen, I decided to take a look outside on the balcony.

     The rain had let up, the only water falling being the runoff from buildings. It was severely humid, so I didn't stay outside for long. I slogged back into the house, exhausted from my night. I decided to let Otto sleep in the front room tonight with Levi, in case he woke up and tried to take anything or leave. I shut my room door, throwing myself onto the plush bed. I looked at the clock, 11:30 p.m. . Even though it was late, my brain decided to text Lizabeth, even though it might wake her up. "Hey, Lizabeth. Something's come up, I can't make it in tomorrow. It's rather personal, so I'd prefer it be kept between you and I. Levi's over, passed out drunk on my sofa. Anyhow, I might drop in after hours and help clean up. Goodnight, Lizabeth."
