“Eren.” Eren noticed that Levi’s hair was wet and slipping into his eyes. He was wearing a plain black long sleeved shirt and grey sweat pants. Not at all as thought out as he usually looked.

“Sorry, were you expecting someone.” He probably should’ve said something like hello but that was the first thing that popped into his head.

“Pizza.” Levi muttered. The two boys stared at each other for a minute.

“So…” Levi said scratching the back of his head, looking Eren up and down.

“Sorry!” I um, I mean I came. I … uh, well I um kind of… I got you… happy birthday!”  Eren said shoving the gift forcefully into Levi’s face. Levi kind of looked shocked.

“Oh! Uh… Thanks.” He said.

“Please don’t open it in front of me.” Eren blurted. He felt like an idiot.

“O-Okay” Levi stuttered. There was silence again.

“Did you come all the way to the other side of town, just to give me a present?” Levi asked.

“Yes. I mean no. No. Um.”

“So why did you come?”

“Before I say anything, can you not say anything until I’m finished?” Eren asked sheepishly. Levi nodded.

“Okay, so I know I’m kind of weird-“

“A little” Levi smirked. Eren glared at him, “Sorry, continue.”

“And I’m not exactly rich, or popular, or comfortable at all with who I am, or in my sexuality” Eren felt very idiotic standing there saying all of this to Levi, but he wouldn’t continue if he thought about that.

“And I know I’ve been a massive ass to you, and I pushed you away when I probably shouldn’t have. I’m just scared. And I’m sorry I’m scared and I’m sorry that I let you down. And I’m sorry I was an ass. I guess what I’m very poorly trying to say is that I like you, Levi. I like you a lot-“ Eren’s rambling was cut off by Levi grabbing Eren’s face and kissing him. Eren’s hands automatically went to Levi’s waist.

“You interrupted me.” Eren laughed a little as the pulled away from one another.

“You weren’t finished yet?” Levi smirked.

“Not quite. I wanted to ask, I mean what I was to ask is. I mean will you, maybe be…?”

“Do I want to be your boyfriend?” Levi asked.

“Yeah” Eren said running his hand through his hair. His other was still on Levi’s waist. The other boy was quiet for a long time.

“Please say something.” Eren blurted agitated, putting his hand over his eyes.

“Okay.” Levi said, moving in towards Eren. “If it means I get to do this everyday, no matter who’s there to see.” Levi pressed his lips against his cheek.

“I guess.”

“And this” Levi moved his lips to Eren’s jaw.

 “I mean if you want to.”

“And this” Finally Levi moved his lips to Eren’s.

“Definitely” Eren smirked. Levi pulled away and actually smiled.

“Now come inside I’m cold.”

Eren walked into Levi’s house and took off his coat. Levi grabbed it off him and put it on one of the hooks.
