Levi POV:
I walked downstairs after eren. i was pretty close to him, and to be honest that is one of the things that make me nervous while being around the brat. Goddammit. I wonder what it would feel like to hold his hand. is it weird to think about stuff like that? I really dont know at this point.
he led me to the table where I sat down. I watched as he made eggs on a small frying pan. he saw me looking at him, and I quickly looked away, almost blushing. Eren noticed.
"hey, it's okay you know..."
"i-i wasnt doing it on purpose. I just wanted to learn how to make eggs."
"you can come watch... if- if you want.."
i hesitated, then got up and stood next to eren and watched him making the second omelette. he blushed a little and started explaining how to make the eggs. I actually listened. he was pretty good at explaining stuff. when he finished making the food and clearing up whatever mess he'd made, we ate and then I drove home. it was already 8, but I didnt bother doing my homework. I'd do it tomorrow morning. not really though.
*timeskip to tomorrow at lunchtime*
I was sitting under the big tree I usually sat under to eat my lunch, because I didnt really have any friends other than that brat... wait, my friend? was he my friend? I opened my lunchbox and pushed that thought aside. I stopped when I saw a figure walking towards me.
"hey levi!!!"
he wasnt nervous around me anymore huh.
"hey, brat."
"can I sit here?"
"do you see a sign saying you cant?" I replied. dumbass.
"hehe..."
eren sat down next to me and took out a brown paper bag containing a sandwich and a plastic bag with a cut-up apple. it looked good. as if reading my thoughts, eren leaned over and asked if I wanted a piece. I looked at him for a moment. "sure" I replied and took a slice. I suddenly remembered something I had wanted to ask him but forgot about.
"Oi, brat, on sunday a bunch of people from class are having a birthday part for Jean, wanna join?"
"uhm, yeah, sure I'd love to!" he said beaming.
I wouldnt say I smiled, but the corners of my mouth turned up slightly.
"great. come over to my house at ten on sunday though, we can talk about the party and I really need help learning how to cook."
this was partly true, but I also just wanted to be around eren.
"o-oh, okay then..! I'll be there."
I felt happy hearing that. I probably wouldn't have gone to the party at all if eren wouldnt be joining. hanji said she wouldnt be joining, so I really didnt have a reason to go.
timeskip to 10am on sunday (party day)
I heard I knock on the door. I jumped up excitedly and almost eagerly greeted eren, which is pretty unusual for me.
"hey, come in!" I said. I tried to smile a little but I dont think it showed on my face. eren must've noticed though because he smiled back and stepped in.
"heyy! I came with a change of clothes in case we get a little messy while we cook!!"
"okay.." I said.
we went inside and into the kitchen. and of course I made him take his shoes off in the entrance. i was not going to have a dirty floor.
i listened carefully again while eren showed me how to make eggs in 2 different ways. we put the dishes I had made on the table and ate. they came out surprisingly good for my first time, according to eren. he praised me for this and this time I really did smile, but I was eating so you couldn't tell.
*timeskip*
I noticed the time. 3pm already? wow time had flown.
we had played a few video games and watched a couple of episodes on netflix, and we'd gotten pretty cozy there. at one point eren even snuggled up to me under the blanket we were using while watching. that had felt pretty good. but now we really had to get ready for the party unless we wanted to be late. I told this to eren so we went to my room to get changed.
It wasnt on purpose, I swear, but I saw eren after he had taken his shirt off while he was changing. I was also shirtless, but I couldn't really focused on changing while eren was standing here like that. ugh, I wanted to tell him how good he looked... but I cant... right? oh hell with it. I'll say whatever I want. I fully turned towards eren. he noticed and stopped looking for his shirt and stood up next to the wall blushing deeply.
"w-what levi..."
"Goddammit eren you're so..."
