You're the Boss : r i r e n

5

Levi awoke to the sound of his phone ringing. He groaned and reached over for it, sliding his finger over to answer the call.

"Hello?"

'Levi...! You're not here and it is 12:00. Guess who also isn't here.. oh! You guessed it, Eren. You still want to deny it because I bet he is in your bed right now.'

"Mm.. Hange it is not 12:00." Levi closed his eyes again and rested his head down on the pillow, phone still to his ear. His other hand found itself caressing Eren's thigh.

'Yes it is and you have lunch with Daytona today! You two better get your asses in this building.'

Levi looked at his watch only to see it was in fact 12:00. Reality hit him and he jumped out of bed, hanging up the phone. He pulled the blanket off Eren to wake him up and turned the shower on.

"Eren." He said, shaking his sleeping figure. "Eren, wake up." Eren groaned at swatted at Levi. "We're late by five hours."

Erens eyes shot open and he looked around frantically. He hopped off the bed and started to pull his clothes on from the floor.

"Stop, get in the shower." Levi grimaced. He couldn't believe Eren wanted to get dressed and leave in his messy state. They didn't take showers last night and still had residue all over their bodies.

"Okay." He nodded and ran to the bathroom. Levi followed him and shut the glass door when they were both inside. It was hard for Levi to be looking at Eren like this and not fuck him on the spot but he managed to resist.

The shower was quick but thorough, Levi made sure of it. They dried off and Levi pulled on a black button-up and another pair of black slacks. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and ran his hand through his hair a few times.

Eren pulled on the same clothes he wore yesterday: a white shirt with a brown blazer and black jeans.

"You'll have to go to lunch with me and some guy from Daytona Beach. I need to be there by 1:00, so there's no time to drop you at the office." Levi said, fixing his collar in the mirror.

"Okay." Eren said, trying to hide the hickey on his neck with his blazer. Levi walked over to him and grabbed him by the waist. He leaned down and kissed Eren's lips. They separated after a couple seconds and grey eyes looked into green. They stayed like that for a moment before Levi pulled away and cleared his throat. He didn't know why he felt the way he did about Eren but couldn't bring himself to be with him.

"Alright, let's go." He nodded, walking out of the bedroom. Eren followed him out into the driveway where they got into a car different from last nights.

It was only a ten minute drive before they reached the restaurant they'd be having lunch at.

"Okay, now he travelled almost four hours to get over here. Usually, people who do that tend to be, uh, rude. We're here to make a business deal though so if he says anything, just be polite." Levi explained, getting out of the car. He walked around and opened the door for Eren.

The two walked inside and found the man from Daytona sitting at a booth in the far corner. Levi led the way down the aisle towards the man who stood up to greet him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ackerman." He smiled, shaking his hand. "It is wonderful to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine, Mr. Hayward." Levi returned the smile which made Eren's heart do a cartwheel. Everything about him was just perfect to Eren. "Please, call me Levi."

He thought it was crazy how good of an actor Levi was. He never acted this nice or polite, not to anyone at work that is. But he had never seen Levi interact with anyone outside of his job.
