Chapter 7: Careless

-x-

Levi's POV

Everything was in a state of panic - I felt paranoid, though no one should be suspicious of me. I kept a low profile, often jumping at the slightest gestures, such as one touching my shoulder, a peer asking for a pencil, or a teacher calling on me. Of course, I suppressed my emotions and feelings.

⠀⠀"Hey Levi, are you alright?" Erwin nudged me with his elbow, as I snapped out of my thoughts.

⠀⠀"Just dandy!" I said sarcastically, including artificial enthusiasm.

⠀⠀"Christ man, I understand if you need space." Erwin smiled charismatically. Damn, he could be such a flirt without noticing. Armin set his hand on Erwin's said shoulder, kissing his cheek, whispering something that made him blush. The little mushroom haired man could be so hard to figure out...

⠀⠀"Hey Levi, I'll catch you later." He ran off with Armin, like a dog after a bone. Man, those two were so gonna do the do. (insert winky face)

⠀⠀I decided that the library would be the best place to be, alone with my empty head and crave for knowledge.

⠀⠀Googling soul mates, I found the definition, and a few worthless sites. It wasn't until the fourth or fifth page when something caught my eye - an informational website. It had some pretty eccentric information. Scribbling down contact information, and deleting the history, I looked up something irrelevant, like lettuce or dog care. Well, dog care is important, but in this case not so much. Was Eren a dog person?

⠀⠀I feel every move is suspicious, like I'm being watched. Besides the passerby's glances and security cameras. Like someone had their eye on me specifically, documenting my every move.

⠀⠀Finding information on this would be more than satisfying, but how far would I have to go?

Erens POV

I felt like I needed to move things quicker with Levi. We haven't even said whether we're dating or not, nor have we said how we feel about each other. But I'm sure we're at least platonic friends.

⠀⠀Levi was so interesting. I was dying to know him, but not like "Oh that's nice now let's forget each other in a few years." kind of thing. I wanted to wake up on Sunday mornings to the aroma of his pancakes, have a cuddle day in bed, waking up to his messy hair and peaceful expression. But most importantly, I wanted him. I desired him, and I would remain loyal to him until the day I die.

⠀⠀But the problem being, not only am I loyal (for good and bad), but I was madly competitive. I loved to win and come out on top. (Maybe in more than one area, if you know what I mean. *wink wink*.)

⠀⠀Also, my mind was still buzzing with so many thoughts. I was kind of questioning why Levi told me all of this, like, why now? We just met each other. I didn't want to get too deep into the soul mate stuff. It scared me. But I wasn't going anywhere.

⠀⠀I thought about how much has changed internally for a few days. The government thing would be something to look into, and keep secret about.

⠀⠀I didn't like keeping secrets.

⠀⠀My home phone rang, for some odd reason, with me tripping down my stairs to answer it.

⠀⠀"Hello?" I panted.
