My Story of Love (Ereri/Riren)

Chapter 4

"Would you be my boyfriend?" Uhhh what. Did I just hear him right? Oh Jesus take the wheel. My heart was like a drum in my chest. My breathing quickened and I literally felt like I was in heaven. Am I dreaming? Is this a prank? "I mean will you be my boyfriend?" Even while he is asking me that he still sounds so emotionless.

"Yes, Levi. I will." I smiled one of the biggest smiles ever. Even though no one could see me I covered it with one hand and giggled. Oh. God. I just giggled.

"Are you sure you're a male? I don't think men giggle."

I pouted and replied, "You're so mean!"

"Yeah, yeah. I know. Well, I got to go get some work done around the house. I saw two specks of dust flying around. Two. I feel like I'm living with pigs."

I laughed. "Hopefully you don't throw up if you ever step foot in my house." I looked around my room. Clothes everywhere. Trash everywhere except in the trashcan. I need to do some cleaning my self.

"I don't even want to think about it. Okay, goodbye. I'll text you in a few hours." The call ended.

Even though we talk daily, I always feel so alone when he hangs up. The whole reality of my situation randomly smacked me like a boomerang. I have a boyfriend. I'm dating Levi. I picked up my phone and texted Armin.

Me: Duuuuudddeee. You'll never guess what just happened.

Armin: You cleaned your room?

Me: Ha ha. No. Have you heard of WingsOfFreedom. You know the youtuber I've been doing co-ops with?

Armin: Eren, I've been watching him even before that. He's my favorite youtuber. No offense. Anyway, what about him?

Me: Well, he kind of asked me out and I kind of said yes

Armin: You have a boyfriend? Really?! Dude, this is awesome. Congratulations.!

After a few more messages we both went on with our days. I looked around my room and decided it was time to do some cleaning.

-3 months later-

The past 3 months have been pretty anticlimactic. Levi still hasn't shown me his face and we are still doing co-ops. I'm still doing my youtube and he is doing his. Honestly, I think its time we video chatted. I called Levi on skype with no answer. After about the third try it finally went through.

"Yeah?" He sounded tired and bored. As usual.

"Don't you think its about time I saw your face?" I asked nervously. He's only ever seen my face during our co-ops and in my youtube videos. We've never video chatted privately.

"Probably."

"Turn your camera on." My heart rate began to increase with every second. 1 minute passed, silence. 2 minutes passed, nothing. "Okay, how about this," I turned on my video. "Now you aren't the only one. Turn it on"

Levi groaned, "Fine!" He muttered and then he appeared. My mouth involuntarily dropped. Those dark greyish eyes and small pale lips that match his pale skin. That dark black hair that goes down to his eyes. He is heaven. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I tried to speak but all that came out was some mumbled garbage. I continued to survey his face. His face definitely matches his voice. He looks ready to kill me. He hasn't looked at the screen since he turned on his video. Is he shy?

"Levi?"

"Hm?" He replied without opening his mouth or even moving his head. He just slid his gaze over towards the camera, seemingly making eye contact with me.

"You're.... you're perfect."

He quickly looked away again and sighed. "Shut your mouth."

I chuckled at him a bit, "You really are. Believe it or not."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway" he turned his head to face the camera, "its getting late. Let's switch to voice and go to bed."

We switched to voice and I laid down, setting my phone on my chest and my earbuds in my ears. I don't get why I'm so nervous. We are only talking. We talk all the time. "Levi? Do you want to play a game?"
