Saving Me

Chapter 6 (last)

5:00 PM

Eren was standing next to a big fountain with three dolphins releasing water out of their open mouths. He got all dressed up, white buttoned shirt, black pants and semi-elegant shoes. His heart was racing from excitement and curiosity.

-Happy Valentine's Day Eren, - Eren heard a whisper in his ear as he saw a hand extended from behind him holding a big red rose.

He turned around to find Levi, gorgeous more then ever! He was the peak of elegance. He wore a long-sleeved black buttoned shirt, elegant black pants and elegant black shoes. A huge smile stretcehd on Eren's face. He took the rose and jumped on Levi hugging him tightly.

-Oh, Levi! This is amazing! You look amazing! I didn't expect..Umm..This is so romantic!! - Eren was thrilled. He felt as if he was actually going on a real date, Levi being his lover. Why did things have to get back to normal after this amazing evening that was about to begin?

Levi took Eren's hand in his.

-L..Levi you don't have to do this...It's not as if we are a real couple, - Eren mumbled. He knew how much Levi liked his personal space and didn't like to touch or be touched by other people.

-You wanted to go on a date with me, right? - Eren nodded, - Then you are getting a real date, all included.

Eren's eyes widened, he saw something so rare he wasn't sure he'd seen it before. Levi's lips turned into a small yet honest smile. He looked so sweet. Eren's heart skipped a beat and he returned Levi a big smile.

-So where are we going? - Eren asked.

-You'll see soon enough.

They walked for about ten minutes, then finally Levi stopped in front of a decorated arc. A fair. Eren loved fairs, amusement parks and everything that was big, colorful and fun. His eyes lit up and as they entered, Eren took the lead.

-I want to see everything they have here! I want to go there, I want to see that! We must taste that! - Erens puppy eyes lit up as he pointed at different attractions.

They went to the mini go karts and watched a mime perform, got to a dart-throwing booth where Levi won a big white teddy bear for Eren, for which he got a kiss on the cheek in return. He didn't even mind this, seeing and making Eren so happy suddenly became the most important thing for him.

After that Levi took Eren to eat ice cream. He also spoiled him with cotton candy and caramelized apple, getting smiles and hugs from him all the while.

They actually did visit every booth and ride at the fair. It's been almost four hours since the beginning of the date, and there was only one ride left.

-Well..there's only the ferris wheel left, ready to go Eren?

-Hell yeah! - Erens face lit up once more.

They got into one of the cabins and the wheel began to lift them up slowly. They set in front of each other, not letting out a word. Eren felt a bit shy and self conscious now that there were only the two of them away from the crowd. The air got colder as they went higher and Eren began to shiver. Levi moved over near him and hugged him. His body was so warm. Eren buried his head in Levis chest, he didn't want to let go, ever.

Next thing Eren felt was Levis hand on his chin, he looked up to meet his gorgeous grey eyes. Everything felt like a dream, Eren's mind went blank, and he almost didn't notice how Levis lips touched his. They were warm and gentle, just the way Eren remembered them from last time. He wanted it to last forever, but then he remembered the reason why Levi did this the time before.

-Levi, remember what we said about all of this..?

-No Eren, I'm not doing it because of..what happened to me..I'm doing it because it feels right.

Eren's eyes began to fill with tears, and with the first ones falling he passionately went back to kissing Levi.
Fireworks lit up the dark sky, though the two boys didn't notice anything around them anymore, except one another.
