Twisted Devotion (ERERI!)

10.

3rd POV

Eren tightened his fists on the counter, trying to calm himself down. But he couldn't. Instead, he hit the wall hard, leaving a small crack in it.

He was huffing and puffing.

He's not gay. He says he's not homophobic but I bet he is. Oh well. Not that it matters. I can change him. I can make him the most gayiest person on earth for ME and only ME.

He let out a low quiet chuckle as he thought of his plan. He smiled to himself as he looked at the mirror.

You will be mine, Levi Ackerman. Whether you like it or not.

Levi's POV

The night felt like forever ever since Eren got into the bed.

He hadn't said anything to me and I tried to go to sleep, the best I could, only to blink and it was morning.

I sat up and saw Eren still sleeping. The door was wide open which made me wonder if Carla had come in here.

I got out of bed and grabbed my phone, then I made my way downstairs. I turned the corner to see Carla sitting at the table, eating eggs.

"Oh! Morning Levi." She said softly. "There's eggs, bacon, and croissants ready if you're hungry." She gave me a soft smile.

"Oh yes, thank you." I said, making my way to the kitchen.

"I tried to wake you and Eren up but looks like you both were knocked out." She giggled at that.

"I was too?" I raised a brow. It didn't feel like it.

"Yup." She said calmly.

I sighed and made my plate. I stopped listening once Grisha came in, talking to Carla. I was focused on my thoughts.

Why would Eren ask to kiss me? Were just friends... I feel awkward and so out of place this morning.

I turned around and almost dropped my plate when I saw Eren standing right in front of me with a big cheeky smile on his face. "Morning."

"Morning," I responded, walking past him.

He turned around watching me as I went. I can still feel his eyes on me even though I've sat down. Though, as soon as I sat down, I felt a ding in my pocket.

I opened it up to see a message.

Unknown: Just like our brains rationalize dismissing our fears, my love for you dismisses all rational thoughts, and I can't give up on us, no matter how hard I try.

My eyes widened. What does that even mean?!?! I turned my head to see Eren still fixing his plate, he then started coming this way. He smiled at me and took a seat beside me.

It can't be him doing these messages. He was still doing his plate. So who the hell did it?

Grisha said good morning to me, and I said it back before putting my phone down then eating my food.

I bit my lip nervously as I glanced at him. He seemed normal despite what happened yesterday. I should talk to him about this to clear the bad air around us.

We finished our meal and both went upstairs. Eren shut the door behind us. I turned around to see him staring at me awkwardly.

"Can we talk?" I said quietly.

"About?" He raised a brow.

"Yesterday. I just want to tell you that I'm not homophobic. I don't care that you're gay." I said softly, playing with my hands like a child.

"Oh, good." He said, scratching the back of his neck.

"But, I am not gay," I said calmly.

"Okay." He responded, looking away from me.

"Which means, please don't ask to kiss me and make those jokes you were doing before."

He put his hands up defensively. "I got it."

"Thank you." I said softly. "Also, do your parents know?"

"Do my parents know." He mocked. "Yes they know. I told them not to bring my sexuality up in front of you or any of my friends because I haven't come out yet. The only people who do know are now you, Ymir, Reiner, Bertolt, and Historia."

"Oh. Well, that's good." I said awkwardly.

"Yup." He walked to the window and looked out at it. It was quiet for a moment until he spoke again, saying "Well let's go see a movie with our friends or something, I don't want to be stuck in this house all day."

I nodded, "sure, ask them."

Everyone was tired from yesterday but we still went to go see a new movie. It was a comedy movie that we all enjoyed.

After the movies, we went to a bakery nearby where we ate really yummy baked goods.

"Try this." Eren pulled apart his concha. "It's really good. It's vanilla."

I tried the piece he gave me and smiled. "Yeah, it is," I said softly.

He studied me for a moment before smiling back. "And this hot cocoa is good too. Want to try it."

"Sure," I said calmly. He passed me his cup and I tried it from the opening where you drink from, enjoying the taste. "Mm! We should come here more often." I said, glancing at Eren who was watching me intensely.

"Yeah, we should," Sasha said happily, enjoying her brownie and mocha latte that was being shared with Connie.

Everyone agreed, just enjoying the baked goods.

I do like the baked goods here. I got an apple Danish that was surprisingly really good for my first time trying it. Marco recommended it to me since I do like apples.

For my drink, I tried milk tea. It was called a caramel milk tea. It was so good.

I didn't know if I was going to like all of this, but this bakery knows how to bake.

"Who's excited for school tomorrow," Armin asked happily.

"Really Armin." Everyone said besides Erwin who was just smiling.

I rolled my eyes and relaxed in my seat, drinking my milk tea casually.

I glanced at Eren who was laughing at something Jean said back to Armin.

I feel bad for being rude last night. Even if he asked to kiss me, I should've said I didn't mind that he was gay.

He probably was so upset that he slept poorly or had a lot on his mind when sleeping which is never a good thing.

I do feel really bad. At least we were able to squabble it... I said my peace so hopefully it'll be enough.

He's still talking to me so that's good. I think I'm just overreacting...
