Welcome to Our Life

Chapter 12

I do not own Attack on Titan or any of the characters mentioned.

(Levi P.O.V.)
It was warm. It felt like heat was radiating off the thing I was asleep on. I cracked my eyes open and looked up to see Eren, who was still fast asleep. At first, I was confused but then the events of yesterday came rushing back to my mind. I sighed and nuzzled my head into his chest. I didn't want to think about any of that right now.

I didn't fall back asleep I just rested. It felt nice, nice to be held for once in my pathetic life. I really didn't want him to let go. My eyes popped open as I looked at Eren's peaceful face.

Oh shit.

No, no I wasn't! Nope I will not even acknowledge the idea of that. I am not in love with him. I can't be. Am I even capable of such an emotion?

On second thought, he did help me a lot and I feel like I can trust him with anything.

Oh god, I'm getting cheesier!

I wriggled a little, trying to get up without waking Eren. I did so unsuccessfully. My foot caught the end of the couch as I was almost to my freedom and fell, all the while pulling Eren down with me. By now he was awake and fully aware that he was on top of me in a position I'd rather not describe.

We didn't move from our position. Our noses were touching and our eyes were locked into a surprised staring contest. Eren's lips twitched and he busted out laughing. I couldn't help myself either. I laughed along with him. I turned on my side and held my rib cage, laughing like a fucking idiot.

"You really know how to wake a guy." Eren commented as he helped me to my feet.

"To be honest I really did not mean to do that." I said and dusted myself off. God, when was the last time Erwin vacuumed? This place is filthy.

He looked at me strangely. "What's wrong?" Oh.

"Nothing, this carpet is just nasty and that's not really cool with a guy who has OCD."

He bent over and started laughing. I sighed. This kid finds every little thing amusing. Eren fell to the floor again laughing his ass off.

My eyes softened. As long as he's happy, I thought.

After the laughing fit was over everyone else started to wake up. I thought I'd repay Erwin by cooking, since he did let me stay over last night. He had tried to turn down my offer in fear of causing me trouble but I just waved him off.

So here I was, in the kitchen making pancakes and bacon. Of course I wouldn't eat any of the bacon. I would never eat something that involves the death of an animal. Period.

"Levi that smells good." Eren said beside me and tried to reach for a piece of finished bacon. I smacked his hand.

"Nuh uh, wash your hands."

He huffed and left the room. He could be such a kid at times. My lips twitched. "But I can't help but like him." I whispered and went back to flipping the pancakes.

Eren came back into the kitchen about a minute after I finished making the food. I called everyone into the dinning area to eat.

"Wow! Levi, this is amazing! Who taught you how to cook?" Armin asked and stuffed another forkful of pancakes into his mouth.

"No one, I picked it up on my own."

"You, my friend, are a natural talent." He said and everyone laughed.

"Thanks."

We decided to save the chit-chat for later and ate our breakfast. After eating I washed the dishes, with the help of Eren who insisted on wanting something to do with his hands.

"Why do I let you do things?" I stated after Eren chipped a plate.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to break it, my hand slipped."

"It's alright Eren, I'm not mad at you, besides it's not mine." I said as I continued to wash the dishes.

"You're not?"

"No, I'm just a little peeved at your lack of cleanliness; Serioulsy, you call this clean?"

"There's nothing on it!" He whined.

"This grease stain says other wise."

He groaned then grabbed the plate from me. His hand brushed against mine. I felt my face heat up and I turned away.

"Damned brat."

"What?"

"Nothing."

He turned back to concentrate on his dishes. I smiled a little. He's really not that bad at cleaning. I just did that to get his attention.

To get his attention? Oh, Wow. I am in love with him.
