Bright Eyes [Ereri]

Chapter 16: 3 days

Eren's POV
Levi got home rather late last night. Something has been bothering him lately, and I've tried to ask him about it. Whenever I do he just shrugs his shoulders and says "I'm just tired," or "It's nothing." Hopefully he'll come to me when he's ready.

This afternoon was different though. I was sitting on the couch, watching TV. I've been staying at Levi's flat the past few days. So I was just sitting there watching TV when Levi comes marching in. I think it was meant to sound intimidating and scary but come on. Levi? Scary? With his stature I'm afraid that's next to impossible. Or so I thought.

Levi walked up to where I was sitting on the couch, his heavy footsteps muffled by the carpet. He pushed me down onto the couch so that I was lying on my back and then he sat directly on my chest. Literally right on top of me. He grabbed my wrists and pinned them up above my head in a submissive manner. Nothing I wasn't already used to, but this was rather spontaneous.

He crossed his legs on my chest so that he was sitting with them folded in front of him. He bent forward and looked down at me with scrutinizing eyes. They darted over every inch of my face. Then we locked eyes and he just stared at me. It wasn't like a staring contest or anything. He just kept looking at me with his royal blue eyes, squinted just enough to cause little wrinkles to appear at the edges.

I was starting to grow anxious as the silence stretched on. Levi just continued to sit and stare and it was making me nervous. What in the world was he doing? He had been sleeping all day because he worked late last night. This is the first I've seen of him. I wanted to ask what the purpose of this was but I felt too threatened to do so. I sat there for a few more minutes, summoning up the will to speak.

"Um Levi what are you doing?" I asked as I squirmed underneath him.
"Stop moving." Was all he said. I quit moving immediately.
"What are you doing?" I repeated.
"I'm venting." He swooped down and locked his lips with mine in one fluid motion.

Our mouths melded together. At first I was slightly surprised and didn't kiss back right away. But after a few seconds I returned the kiss. Levi's lips were always soft and warm. They molded perfectly against mine as he moved his head to the side a little to deepen the kiss. He let go of my wrists and cradled my face instead but I left my arms where they were. He parted his lips slightly and his tongue flicked across my bottom lip, eliciting a small moan from me. I opened up my mouth to accommodate and he slipped his tongue in eagerly.

He unfolded his legs without breaking the heated kiss and straddled my chest. One hand stayed up on my cheek but the other trailed lightly down my face and down onto my neck. He continued to brush his fingertips over my skin down onto my chest. He toyed with the neckline of my shirt but didn't make any motions to remove it. Suddenly, he removed his tongue from my mouth and moved his mouth down ever so slightly. He took my bottom lip between his teeth carefully and rolled the skin gently between them. I arched my back off the couch and moaned loudly against his mouth.
"L-Levi..." I gasped as he rolled his hips against mine.

He connected his lips with mine properly again and immediately slipped his tongue inside my mouth, and vice versa. The kisses were heated and hungry, the room grew unbearably hot. Levi slipped his hands up underneath the thin fabric of my shirt. My skin was graced by his pale, spindly fingers. His hands were everywhere all at once and it felt like I was on fire. His hands worked their way further up my shirt, bringing the fabric up with it. His fingers brushed across my right nipple and I moved into his touch. His kisses gravitated down away from my mouth and long my jawline. They were light and feathery. They made little pulses of electricity shoot up my spine and my skin would be left with the ghost of the kiss once he moved further down my neck. His left hand brushed across my left nipple and I once again arched my back off the couch as a loud moan moved past my lips. He moved his mouth further down away from my neck and to my collarbones. He licked my collarbones, started where they met at the center of my neck and up to the right, bringing on a whole new world of pleasure. I was a moaning, shivering mess by the time he was done.

All the sudden, he just stopped. He laid down flat on my chest and buried his face in the crook of my neck. He was panting and I could feel each exhale. I wrapped an arm around his waist and held him close but threw the other arm over my eyes, trying to recover. We didn't say anything and just laid there in silence, finding comfort in eachother's presence.

Later that night, after that incident during the evening, I had a splitting headache. Like there was a tiny man inside my skull repeatedly stabbing me with a million tiny knives. My head was pounding and I couldn't lay down because then the intensity of the pain increased and my vision would black out at the edges. So I was standing at the counter in the kitchen with my hands over my closed eyes and my elbows propping me up. I couldn't open my eyes without squinting because the light was like a sword being plunged through my skull.

Levi had been taking a shower in the next room over, and I didn't even hear the water shut off. I heard the door open in the master bedroom and I heard Levi's semi wet footsteps slapping through the kitchen toward my direction. I knew he was approaching from my side but I didn't look at him in fear that the light would rip me a new one.

Levi wrapped his arms around my waist from behind me and pressed his body up against mine. He slipped his hands down into my pants and took my member into his hands and started to slowly stroke it. I gasped loudly and my eyes flew open sending another fucking dagger through my head. I wasn't up for sex, I was hoping Levi would listen to my pleas.
"Levi-ah! No Levi I can't I have a really bad headache." I tried to pull his hands out of my pants but after I finished my sentence he immediately retracted them himself.
"Oh my god Eren I'm so sorry if I had known." He sounded so distraught.
"No Levi it's fine." I spun around and looked at him though slitted eyes. I held my arms out for him and he immediately hugged me tightly.
"Eren I'm so so so so sorry. I would never do anything unless you wanted to, I'm so sorry." His words were muffled by my shirt.
"Levi it's okay really. I'm just glad you listened." I rubbed his back and laid my head down gently on top of his, closing my eyes.

In that moment I realized how lucky I was. I was so incredibly lucky to have a boyfriend that respected me and my boundaries. In most relationships they probably would've just had sex with you anyway. I was so lucky to have a boyfriend that cared for me and listened to what I had to say. I hope everyone finds someone like that someday. But people like that are one in a million, and I got really lucky.

I also realized how much I would miss him when I left.

A/N:
Short filler for you all. I plan on continuing to a twentieth chapter and then that will be the end. I also realized that I have 600+ reads now! Thank you to everyone that's been reading my story. I honestly didn't think that it would be like this. Thank you all for the support!
