Snowfall

Chapter 3

"Leviii." She sang. "Eren and I have to go into the office soon. "Are you coming with us?" I stood immediately.

"Go with you guys? But I don't work there. Besides, I can't go looking like this." gestured to my outfit. "It's alright. I have a jacket you can wear. Everything else you have on is fine. Besides, I'm the boss so I can say what goes and doesn't go." Eren stated. Gosh he's so kind. I nodded and pulled out my phone to check the time. 1:34pm it read. No notifications. Good, I thought to myself. "Okay, let's get going. Levi, ride with Eren again." Mika said before leaning down to whisper into my ear, "or literally ride him if you know what I mean." My eyes widened and I blushed hard. "Y-You bitch." I slapped her arm and side-eyed Eren. He looked confused so I just grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door and out of the apartment.

In the car ride to Titan.Corp, I couldn't help but to think deeply of what Mika said. I could feel my cheeks getting hot. I pretended to look out at the people we went by so that Eren didn't see how bash I was being. Gosh Mika is such an idiot. I wonder what it would be like being in a relationship with Eren Jaeger. I don't know if Eren would want me to.... ride him. Is he even into that? Mikasa I'm sure would know if Eren is- FUCK I need to stop. Naughty images and thoughts filled my head. Unintentionally, I was squeezing the bottom of my jacket so hard that Eren noticed it. "Levi." Would he be a passionate lover? Or would he be rough? Does he even like me? "Levi." Maybe he is into ALL of it- "Levi!" My thoughts immediately discarded, I turned my head towards him. His eyebrow was raised in confusion. "Are you alright?"  I simply nodded. My cheeks must've been still red because he reached his hand out to touch my forehead. "You're warm. Are you feeling sick?" I shook my head. "No, no, I promise I'm okay." I changed the subject. "So, are we close?" He smiled. "We've practically just arrived."

"So, can you tell me about Titan.Corp. I don't know too much about it." I asked Eren softly as we walked into the building.  "Of course. Titan.Corp is a giant industry and business. It's split into three parts. One is pharmaceuticals, two is fashion/clothes and the third is accounting/stocks. I'm head of pharmaceuticals, though I do own the whole company itself. Mikasa is in charge of everything that involves clothes and fashion. Do you know about the Armin Alert?" I shake my head. "Well, he's the best friend that I mentioned. He is in charge of stocking, accounting. Basically, the money and big projects. He is our intelligence. He actually designed the whole building." We walked into the elevator. "That's amazing. The building is huge. How many floors are there?" I asked, thoroughly intrigued. Eren pressed for the top floor. "This is my personal elevator so it only shows my important go-to levels. In total, there are about 60 floors. We each are in charge of 30 of them." I must've looked shocked because he chuckled. "I know, it's quite a lot, hm? Everything is organized so it's not hard to manage." The elevator dinged after a minute or two. "This is my penthouse. I just need to grab you a jacket. You can pick it out if you'd like." He offered as the doors opened. I didn't even respond back as I looked at the sight of his place. It was so beaiftuful with furniture everywhere, around the orner was a giant fucking kitchen, an extremly large living room. He even had an extravagant piano in the corner. I didn't intend to just waltz around his place without permission so I didn't stray very far. I looked around for some pictures of the family but I didn't find any photos other than one picture of Mika, Armin and himself together. Interesting, I thought and I made sure to take note of it. "You don't seem to care about any of this do you?" I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to face him. "Why? Should I care about it?" I showed him a small smile. "I mean, I was actually looking for some pictures of your family and such. Possibly to learn more about you." He looked genuinely surprised and the hand on my shoulder faltered some. He then smiled and the hand on my shoulder slid down my arm to grab my hand. He held it gently and he pulled me with him towards one of the big doors in the back of the area. "Thank you." He said softly, opening the door. "For?" I asked, slightly confused. "For saying something real." He muttered before letting go of my hand. Slightly disappointed, it wavered once I realized we were in his room. His room was the second biggest area from what I've observed so far. His bed in the back of the room was giant. There was a couch and reclining chair in the corner and normal furniture all around. There was a sliding door on the right and on the left was a fairly big walk in closet. He grabbed my hand again and pulled me towards the closet. "You can pick any jacket you'd like from that rack." He pointed to the left rack so I let go of his hand and started looking. They were all darker colors which I really liked. "Will any of them fit me?" He just nodded and leant against the doorway. As I was looking, I realized all of them were embroidered with his last name. "Eren, they all have your last name.." I pointed out to him with a look of confusion. "That's quite alright." I raised a brow. "So you're okay with people talking? What if it gets out that people think we're a..." I blushed and turned my head, immediately disregarding what I was about today. "Levi." I ignored him and pulled out a dark gray jacket. "Jaeger" was embroidered in gold, just like the one he is wearing. "Levi." This time, I couldn't ignore him. He must've walked over to me because he sounded much closer. His voice was at a deeper octave. "Tell me.." Hands on the sides of my waist forced me to turn around and face him. He was so close that I could smell the cologne he was wearing. Bourbon and pine. "Would you care if people thought we were together?" He said softly. I thought for a moment. I can't tell if he's trying to mess with me or not so I decided to play it safe. "Hmm, I don't know. Would you care?" I tried to play it smug by mischievously grinning. He shared the same grin and he leant down towards my ear. I could vaguely feel his lips as he whispered against my ear. "I don't have an exact answer." My heart dropped and I tried to pull away. "What I mean is, I would love it if people thought we were together, Though, I wouldn't care if people talked about us. Do you understand?" I stood there for a moment, trying to consider what he was saying. So he didn't care if people talked their shit, but he would love it if people thought we were together. I gasped softly to myself as my cheeks turned a slight pink. I decided to do something bold. I stepped back and reached to place my hands on the sides of his cheeks. "C-Can I kiss you?" I asked for permission. I didn't want to take anything too fast or make him uncomfortable. "I don't want to make you uncom-" He interrupted me by leaning down to kiss me. His lips were so soft against mine that I almost immediately closed my eyes and put my arms around his neck. What's funny to me is, I never felt this way before with Erwin. With Erwin, I was always cold. Now, I feel so warm that the cold that I've ever felt in my life was dwelling away. We pulled each other close but not close enough to the point where our bodies were touching. After a few moments, I pulled away. I opened my eyes, smiling so big that my cheeks kind of hurt. Eren's eyes were open and he was actually blushing. I took note of this and promised myself to keep this moment in my heart forever.  "Though we met almost two days ago, I feel as if we've known each other for a long time." I nodded in agreement. "I really like you, Levi Ackerman. So, if people want to talk, let them" With that, I kissed his cheek and hugged him close to me. "I want to be with you in any way you'll have me." I said softly. "Be mine." He said. "Of course."

I felt so giddy that I couldn't stop smiling. We had to head over to the office where Mikasa is, so we got into the elevator. He took my hand earlier in his room and he still hasn't let go. "Can I take you out for dinner tonight?" he asked. I gave his hand a squeeze. "Well, I don't know. I have to check my schedule." I grinned at him. "Of course I'd like to." He playfully rolled his eyes. "Sooo, how do you think Mika will react?"

"YESSSSS, I KNEW YOU BOTH WERE PERFECT FOR EACHOTHER." she screeched as we entered her office whilst holding hands. She ran over to me and tackled me into a hug. "This is so good for you my little munchkin. Especially after him- oh shit I'm sorry Levi." I glared at her. "Who?" Eren questioned. I let go of his hand and turned my head away. "My ex." I muttered. The room was silent for a moment. "You know Levi, you should tell Eren about Erw-" I cut her off. "Mikasa." I could feel my eyes stinging with tears. I looked to Eren from the corner of my eye and saw his confusion. "I think he should have informed Le-" It was all too much for me. I opened the door as a few drops of tears ran down my cheeks. "I need a minute." I muttered before walking out of her office and towards the elevator.

    "Levi!" I heard Eren calling for me. His hand grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to face him. "It's alright. I don't need to know." I shook my head. "No, you don't understand. I need to inform you about everything. I was just surprised that she would mention him now." I sighed. "Afterall, we literally got together like 15 minutes ago." He nodded before pulling me into a hug. Some of the other office ladies gasped and began gossiping. I didn't pay attention to it. "Come, we can talk about it in my office if you'd like."
