▪Steel Eyed Saviour▪ (~Eren x Levi~)

.:Just A Thought:.

**This chapter will switch POV's. It'll start off as Eren, and go to Levi later on*

 I made dinner last night, as Levi cleaned up after us both. I never mentioned the rose, although I really wanted to talk about it. He curled back up on the couch, his short body enveloped in the blanket like a burrito.

"Hey, Eren, mind if I put a movie on?" He turned his head slightly to meetmy eyes.

"Just keep it down. Otherwise, I don't mind." I smiled at him, walking back into my room.

     Getting into my bedclothes, I sat on the edge of my bed, rubbing my face. Picking up my phone, I decided to do something I had not done in almost a year. Scrolling through my contacts, I tapped on one towards the middle of the alphabetized list. Lifting my phone to my ear, the dial tone was all I heard for a short while until finally, a voice came through.

"E-Eren?" The female voice asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it's me. Listen, you wanna meet up tomorrow by any chance?" I asked, running a hand across my face.

"Of course. Where at?" She sounded happier at my question.

"How about that forest? The one we were in as kids? I heard there's a park there now." I quieted down once I heard the TV switch off, signaling Levi was falling asleep.

"It's a date, Eren. I was just in Maria today, Armin's with me. We're just outside it, in Portland. So, how about 2:30 tomorrow?" She asked me.

"Sounds perfect. Bring Armin too. I'll see you then, Mikasa." I hung up the phone, plugging it in to charge.

     *Time Skip*

     I woke up to the sound of sizzling. Making my way into the kitchen, I stretched and rubbed my eyes.

"Goodness, Eren. Had you told me you were greeting me looking like that I would've freshened up." Levi chuckled, eyeing me up and down then returning to the stove.

"What do you m- oh god..." I looked down at myself, noticing I had slept in only boxers.

     My face was steaming by the time I got back to my room. I'm not used to having guests who stay the whole damn night! I changed into some casual day clothes, and went back out to sit at the kitchen table. Levi finished cooking, and made a plate before sitting down. After a few seconds of chewing his food, he glances up at me.

"What? Make your own damn plate, you brat." I roll my eyes as Levi continues eating.

"So. We've got plans today." I say without looking at him, sitting back at the table with my plate.

"Oh? But I have bronchitis." Levi responds, forcing a fake cough.

"Not in the city, you goose. We're traveling." We both finished our food, and I took the liberty of putting the plates in the sink.

"Traveling? Where?" He seemed repulsed by the idea of going anywhere outside my apartment.

"There's a thick forest just a few miles outside of here. It leads to the ocean, a nice secluded beach. We're meeting my sister and best friend." I squirt a little soap on the dirty dishes, filling up the sink with water.

     Levi frowned at the idea we had plans. I wonder what was up with him? He trudged over to a basket with laundry in it, and dug out some clothes. As he left to go change, Otto stuck his nose in the basket. I smirked at the pokey dog, who made his way over to me. Otto rested his head on my legs, and I began scratching behind his ears.

"I'm sorry, Otto. Looks like you'll have to stay here again today. I know we always do stuff on my day off, but Levi won't let you in the Impala." I grabbed his snout in a playful manner.
