Levi's POV

I've been tapping my pen on my desk for the last 20 minutes. Why can't I concentrate?

Eren's giggle echoed through the room followed by not-so-subtle whispering, "Jean! We can't do that!"

"C'mon Eren. It'll be an adventure," Jean not-so-subtly whispered back.

The next thing I see is Eren and his little friend scurrying off to the bathroom. I just stared in disbelief, "If this is how he is then how did he end up with me?"

I picked up my phone and dialed Hanji.

"Hey, my Levy-poo!"

"Hanji, has Eren always been like this?"

"Like what? Is something wrong?"

"He and his little boyfriend have just scurried off to the bathroom giggling like school girls."

"Oh. Jean is there? I didn't know that they got that close..."

"Well, now you know."

"Levi...are you jealous?"

"Of course I'm fucking not. I'm married."

"I didn't ask if you were married, I asked if you were jealous."

"No."

"Well, if you were jealous, I'd say that you can't be. You made it clear to him that you weren't going to pursue a relationship with him so it's only natural that he'd find someone else."

"Yeah, whatever. I don't know why I called, I'm busy."

I hung up and was about to march to the bathroom when the door opened. Jean kissed Eren's cheek and left, leaving behind a very bashful Eren.

"Jaeger!"

He seemed to get a fright and ran into my office, "Yeah?"

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

I scoffed, "Don't play dumb. You and your little friend went into the bathroom and- Are those hickeys?"

Eren's hand flew to his neck, "I told him not to leave anything."

"Look, if you're going to work for me, this can't happen again. Understand?"

He nodded quickly.

"Good, you're excused, brat."

He stiffened, "Don't call me that."

I scoffed, "I'll call you whatever I-"

"You can call me anything, just not that. Anything but that." He furiously wiped the tears threatening to spill and went back to his desk.

It seemed odd so I messaged Hanji

Hanji

L: Oi, shit for brains. You there?

H: Yeah >.<

L: Eren just freaked out because I called him a brat. Why?

H: Oh, that's not good. That's what his Levi used to call him all the time. You might want to apologise for that...

L: Why should I? It's not my problem

H: ...Levi...

I sighed and put my phone away. I wasn't going to apologise to him, he needs to get over himself.
