Twisted Devotion (ERERI!)

9.

After Eren finished his drink, he turned to me and asked if I was ready to go which I nodded at immediately, feeling tired and a bit dizzy.

He nodded back and we said our goodbyes to our friends, Eren took a bit longer since he was waving at everyone walking by us.

When we got home, we had a small conversation with Eren's parents. They were asking if we were drunk.

"You both aren't drunk, right?" Asked Carla.

"No, mom," Eren mumbled, messing with his hair. "I've got to shower, and interrogate Levi."

I rolled my eyes at Eren's comment before waving them off. "We're fine," I said calmly. "We didn't drink... A lot." I said quietly.

"I remember back in my high school years; I would drink a bottle or two at the parties to impress Carla." Grisha smiled a bit.

"At the time it was impressive, now it's just disgusting." She responded, smiling back at Grisha.

I heard Eren's loud feet coming back down the stairs. "Alright, I'm taking him with me, I doubt he wants to hear you both talk about nonsense and romance in high school." He mumbled, pulling me upstairs.

I waved at them, and they waved back, rolling their eyes at Eren.

When we got to the room, Eren began to take his clothes off. "I'll shower first, then you." He said calmly.

I nodded at him and sat on one of his chairs, relaxing and staring at my phone.

Once he left to the bathroom, I started to reply to my mom.

Mom: How was the party, any fun?

Me: Yeah.

Mom: Drink anything?

Me: Just a bit.

I was a bit more honest with my mom. Eren lies to his parents because he doesn't want to disappoint them too much. Not that it's any of my business.

Mom: I see. Well get some rest, and take pain killers if necessary.

Me: I will, cya.

Mom: Talk to you tomorrow.

After my shower, I pulled out some shorts and a  t-shirt.

In my side view, I noticed Eren was staring at me. I felt a bit nervous and confused as to why he was staring at me. But then I noticed I was changing infront of a mirror. Maybe he was looking at himself? I'm not sure.

I quickly threw on a shirt before turning towards Eren. He smiled at me. "Ready for bed?"

"Yeah," I said, more of a whisper.

He nodded at me as I walked past him and got onto the bed.

He laid back and got comfortable into the covers.

I did the same, plugging up my phone beside me, then I turn around to see Eren staring at me.

"Yes?" I raised a brow, slowly laying down.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. But why.

He smiled before leaning over and whispering in my ear, "You know, Levi, you have such beautiful eyes."

I didn't respond at first, not sure how to react. It was strange and unexpected.

"Thank you," I said awkwardly.

Eren leaned in closer, and I could feel his breath on my neck. "You're perfect," Eren whispered.

I still didn't understand what was happening. I thought Eren was just being friendly, so I smiled and said, "Thanks, Eren. You're pretty great too."

Eren smiled and came closer to me.  "I'm glad we're friends," he said softly.

I nodded and closed my eyes, feeling a bit confused but too tired to think about it anymore.

I heard a small sigh which made me peek my eyes open. "Are you okay?" I asked quietly.

"I wish." He responded.

"What's wrong?" I asked, sitting up.

He sat up himself before saying, "You're so oblivious."

"Excuse me." I raise a brow. "What does that mean?"

He studied me before smiling. "Do you know when people are flirting with you?"

"Huh? Why?" I raised a brow again, feeling awkward once again.

"I mean, people have flirted with you before but you shake them off."

"They have?" I raised a brow.

"Yes." He said dryly, having a look of you're an idiot.

I rolled my eyes. "So what?"

He sighed again. "Levi." He grabbed my chin.

I was going to swat his hand away but I stopped when he studied my hands.

"What?" I glare at him.

He moved closer to my lips and said, "Can I kiss you."

My eyes widened as I moved back "What?!"

"Sh." He whispered getting closer to me. He laid me back with a smile on his lips.

"Wait, Eren stop." I said quietly, feeling my face heat up.

"I won't do anything more if you don't want me to. But I have to ask, are you gay?"

"Am I what?!" I said a bit too loudly.

"You heard me." He responded.

"Why?! Are you?" I said, blushing a bit too much.

"Yes. Full blown gay."

My eyes widened. "And you're telling me this now? What's wrong with you." I sit up, making him push away from me.

"Is there something wrong with being gay? You dodge every girl but you talk to multiple guys."

"So what?! That doesn't mean I'm gay."

"Okay well, that's not what I asked you. What's wrong with being gay?"

I studied him before getting up. "I dunno what's going on with you Eren, this isn't you," I whispered, grabbing my phone. "I'm gonna go home."

He got up and stopped me from leaving. "No. I just told you I was gay, that's all you have to say?"

"And you said you wanted to kiss me," I said, trying to get past him.

"Are you homophobic?" He asked, letting go of my hand.

"I'm not homophobic, I just don't feel comfortable right now. You've been saying and doing weird things, and this is making me feel different."

He studied me before saying, "Don't go. I'm sorry." He whispered. "I'm really sorry."

"I just need to go home," I said quietly.

"No, don't go. Please don't."

I bit my lip before sighing. "Fine. Just please stop with all of these weird "jokes"."

He nodded before backing up. "Ill be back." He said quietly, walking to the bathroom.

I sighed again as he shut the door behind me. I plugged my phone back in before getting into the bed awkwardly.

First the weird notes, then the messages, and now my friend asked to kiss me? What is life?
