The Lonely

Opus No. 8

Thank you guys so much again!!! I don't know how well known it is, but I am a major KPop fan, and EXO came out with their new album, and it is fucking me up (along with homework). I promise to update with the next 24 hours (it may be really late in the night)!!!
Levi's POV
--------------
When I wake up for the second time, it's bright outside. Eren's arms are still tightly around my waist and our legs are intertwined, keeping my shorter legs warm. This stupid cutie is as good as a heater. Hell, I would say he's even better than any heater I've ever had. I snuggle into his chest more and he groans in response. Big, beautiful Caribbean blue eyes open slowly and look into my own steely grey eyes.

"Oh hey babe. Good morning. How did you sleep?" His voice rumbling low in his chest. Hot damn, his morning voice should not be legal.

"I slept better than I ever have before. You're not too shitty of a pillow, Jaeger," I tease. His eyes light up and he becomes more animated.

"Wait, really? I'm so happy I could do that for you, Levi!" He pulls me on top of him and wraps his arms around my waist, squeezing them to (what I assume he is trying to do) hug me. I sigh and snake my arms around his neck. I press a light kiss to his collarbone before resting my head against it. The steady heartbeat of my partner puts me at ease.

"Yeah yeah, you're a special snowflake. Now c'mon, special snowflake. I'm really fucking hungry and I'm craving McDonald's." I sit up and stretch out my arms. Eren quickly jabs my side which results in a squeak coming from my lips. Fucking brat, he wanted to see if I was ticklish! I glare at him before he starts to actually tickle me but he has a smirk on his face. I get up and stick out my hand for Eren to take. He grabs and I hoist him up on his feet.

"Wait, isn't McDonald's really gross and greasy?" He asks. "And aren't you really into eating healthy and staying fit?" I give him the 'Are-you-fucking-stupid?' look.

"Yeah, I am. But I like to spoil myself sometimes. Plus, we're both skinny, it's not like it matters too much," I shrug. He shrugs also and smiles at me.

"Alright, that sounds good with me then!" I roll my eyes at him. I make sure to grab my keys and Eren's hand before walking out the door towards my car, dragging his stupid ass behind me. I drop his hand and walk over to my side, getting in and starting the car simultaneously. I check to make sure Eren buckled before I actually move out of the driveway; he has, thankfully.

I go through the drive-thu, as I would rather eat my meal at home with my cute-as-fuck boyfriend and cuddle afterwards. As Eren orders for the two of us (leaning over me as he does so, might I add), I text Mikasa and let her know that the plan for Eyebrows and Baby Brows is in place and should be commencing around 6, so she should be prepared to deal with Armin's squealing. She texts back that she understands and that she hopes Eren and I have a fun time together and that she will be with her girlfriend. I tell her to not make Eren, Armin, and her's house smell too much like sex because Eren does have to go back eventually. She sends me back a text that makes me do a double take.

"I don't think he wants to come back. As long as you don't mind the fact that he can make a mess, he's all yours. Just make sure to give him back at least once or twice a month, me and Armin need our time with him."

Holy fucking shit Mikasa. I wouldn't mind having him, but we have only been dating for THREE DAYS. That is a major step in a relationship. Not to mention, we are both high schoolers. I text her back that he can spend a majority of his time at my house, I'm fine with that, but that his home is with Mikasa and Armin. They are his family. She texts back: "I really love you sometimes Levi. You're not always an asshole." I crack a smile. Then I hear a car horn and see Eren staring at me expectantly.

"We have been sitting here for five minutes. Our orders are ready. Leggoooooooo!" He stretches the last vowel, and I pinch his cheek, making him go back to sitting flat against his seat. I drive up to the window and pay the nice lady and hand the food to Eren. He immediately starts rummaging through it and I sigh before driving back to my house.

I park the car in the driveway and run to unlock the door before Eren gets there, as he has his arms full of food. How much did he actually order? I didn't pay attention to the bill. I take it out of my pocket and look it over and see that there's around $50 worth of food. Huh, that would explain it. I go back to our nest where Eren is waiting with our food that he has already started eating. I turn on Netflix so World War Z is playing and I cuddle into Eren's side before I begin to eat. We finish all the food in around twenty minutes, which isn't super surprising. We spent the time afterwards just soaking in each other's presence. I love it, he's so warm and his whole being makes me happy.

I don't know how long it is before I speak up again, but I know it's been at least an hour. I turn towards him.

"Hey Eren?" He hums in response. I start running my fingers through his hair as he continues to watch the movie. "Mikasa said she would be okay with it if you started living with me." His eyes snaps to meet my own.

"Wait, what?" He begins to talk again before I cut him off.

"That's what she said to me. I told her I was okay with you spending a majority of your time here. It makes my house a little less lonely and I sleep better with you. But I told her that your home was with Mikasa and Armin. I thought I would tell you before she did, I would rather not have miscommunication in this relationship." I tell him, and carefully scanning his eyes for any sign of sadness or anger. All I find is instead gratitude and happiness. He moves forward and kisses my forehead before smiling softly at me.

"That was a perfect answer. I was planning on spending a lot of my time here with you, but yeah, they helped take care of me when my own parents died. You always know exactly what to say," He nuzzles his face into my neck and brings my body closer to his. I lean my head against his head and continue to stroke his hair. "Is it okay if I half-live here and half-live with them?" I chuckle at his answer. He raises his head to look at me.

"Of course it is, you shitty cutie. I'd get lonely without you here. Plus I know that they need you as much as I need you!" I exclaim. He rolls his eyes at me but smiles at my response. He presses his forehead to mine and I smile. He suddenly gets serious and cups my cheek with his warm hand as he gets closer and closer until.... Oh, he's kissing me. I don't think I'll ever get used to this. His soft lips pressing against mine ever-so-gently and his thumb stroking my cheek is the best feeling in the world. I kiss him back and tangle my fingers even more in his messy hair. He smiles into the kiss and I flick his ear, making him yip in surprise. He pulls back with a pout on his face. I give him a quick peck before I turn back to the movie.

It's almost finished so I grab the remote to change it to something else. Eren positions himself so his head is on my chest and our legs (well, more like his hips with my legs) are tangled. It isn't too long before I hear very light snoring coming from him. I crack a smile and continue to search for something on Netflix before I settle on Zombieland. What can I say? I love my zombie movies. I brush Eren's hair out of his face and he continues to snore. I press a light kiss on his head before whispering three words that I hope he won't hear.

It's too soon for him to know yet.
