The Ereri Project!

Parking Lot (Asexual)

"Eren, I do not want to be your boyfriend."

Eren frowns. "Why not?"

Levi pauses, stares out the windshield as he continues to drive. "Because I don't want to ruin our friendship."

Eren shakes his head, watching Levi. "What the hell do you mean friendship, short of like, kissing and stuff we've basically been dating for months."

"That's kind of the problem."

"What?"

Levi sighs. "I don't really like talking about this so cut me some slack, alright?"

"Talk about what?"

Levi pulls into the parking lot outside their apartment building. "I'm asexual."

Levi over at Eren. "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"

"I literally just told you I don't like talking about this."

"I know, I'm sorry, I just... seriously?"

Levi frowns, getting defensive, trying to get out of the car as fast as he can. "Well excuse me for not having a sex drive!"

"Levi-"

The raven slams his door shut and starts walking toward their building. Eren rushes to get out of the car and follow him. "Levi!"

"What?" he snaps.

"I uh... I'm sorry, I just don't know what much about asexuality so I'm really, really sorry if I'm accidentally offending you somehow but I'd really like if you could tell me about it."

Levi stares at Eren. Eren just looks nervous. "I means I don't want sex like normal people," he says hesitantly.

"I don't really even like touching that much. That's why I don't want a relationship with you, I can't do anything for you physically so I'll just be worried constantly that you won't want to be around me anymore."

Levi can't look at Eren's face anymore. "Levi," the brunette says gently.

"I like you cause you're cool and you're nice and I don't feel like you're walking on eggshells around me like everyone else does.

We can figure out the "physical" stuff later, I just wanna be with you."

Levi looks up at Eren. "You're fucking with me."

Eren makes a face. "Why would I want to right now?"

Levi smiles and it's like a huge weight was just lifted off Eren's shoulders. "You're stupid."

Eren frowns. "Why?"

Levi shakes his head and hesitantly tries to hold Eren's hand. He makes a face but decides this is the best he can do right now, Eren doesn't press it.

"C'mon, let's go watch that stupid movie you told me about."

"Ponyo is not stupid!"
