In Another Life- Ereri

Chapter Six.

Pretty soon, school will be starting, so I'll be unable to update as often as I want. I'll try to get a chapter up every weekend when I start, but it depends on how tired I am. I do apologize in advance, but I still have time, soo--

That night was a blur for Eren; no dream; no tears; no screaming. It was peaceful, and he actually felt like he had gotten a good amount asleep when he woke up the next day. Besides the pounding in his head, and the soreness of the rest of his body, he was really lively when he opened those emerald eyes of his.
'No dream? Eh, it's felt like centuries since that's happened. Maybe it's because I met Levi in person? It somehow triggered something? Maybe..' Eren thought to himself, a slight frown poised on his face. This whole dream still didn't make any sense to him. Why was he having dreams about Levi? No, better yet.. How? How the fuck do you have dreams about someone you've never met before? Eren had read before that you can never dream up a face. You have to see someone, whether it be from a glance, or someone you met when you're younger. But it's an impossibility to do so. So, Eren had to have seen Levi before, right?

All this thinking was giving him a headache, so he simply rose to his feet. He regretted that. Oh he really regretted that.

"Ow, shit!" He whimpered, quickly sitting back down and holding his stomach. Pain was coursing through his body now, and upon lifting up his shirt, he saw a huge bruise spread out acrossed it. "Dammit, horse face.." He muttered, laying back down. "Mom...!" He called, wondering if she was still home, or if she had already left for work.

A few seconds went by, and his doorknob started to open. However, to his surprise, it was his father... And Levi...

"Er, what are you doing here, Levi?"

"I told you I was coming back here, did I not?" He asked simply, folding his arms over his chest.

"Well yeah, but I didn't think... And dad? Why aren't you at work?" He frowned. His dad was hardly ever home these days.

"I'm staying home for you." Grisha smiled slightly and walked over, though the smile faded when he saw the bruise on his stomach. "That kid sure did put a number on you.. Perhaps I should speak to his parents.."

"No, don't. Levi took care of it." He mumbled. Grisha looked at Levi, who shrugged.

"Hate bullies, and from what I've seen, Eren keeps to himself." He replied, keeping his eyes focused on Eren. It made him a little uncomfortable. There was just something about Levi that Eren wasn't sure he liked.. He didn't know what it was, but it gave him the creeps in a way.

"Well, then I'm glad Eren has a friend like you." Grisha said, then looked back at Eren. "I'm going to get some breakfast. Levi, would you like anything?" He asked.

"No, sir, but thank you." He replied. Grisha nodded.

"Alright, I'll be back soon. Eren, if you need anything, call me." He murmured, leaving the room.
Eren rubbed the back of his neck and watched his father leave, before turning his attention back to Levi.

"So, uh, why did you come back...?" He questioned, watching the short male take a seat right next to his bed once more.

"There's something about you that's different than everyone else." He shrugged.

"Oh, for the love of God, don't pull that Twilight bullshit on me." Eren rolled his eyes and scoffed. "What's the real reason, shorty?"

"First of all, don't fucking call me shorty, and second, do I have to have a reason?" He snapped, keeping his cold gaze on Eren.

"Uh, yeah, you sort of do. Nobody just beats the hell out of someone for the reasons you did, and then show up at their house.. Twice."

"Well, I do, so get the fuck over it... And what the hell is Twilight?"

"What do you mean what is Twilight? You've never seen or read those shitty books or seen those shitty movies?"

"Nope, don't have cable, and I don't recall reading any books with that name."

"You'd have to live under a rock to not know about them.."

"Well, I don't know anything about them, so shut up.." Levi muttered, looking away. Eren frowned a bit.

"Do you want to watch them..? My sister, well, she's like a sister -- has them." Levi stayed quiet, and just nodded his head. Eren slowly stood, wincing slightly. Levi stopped him.

"Lay down. I'll go and get them. Where are they?"

"They're downstairs under the TV." Eren murmured, watching Levi. He was relieved the other volunteered to go get them, because he didn't think he could have managed moving that far. He was in so much pain. "What do they look like?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Its in a set of four. It's called the Twilight Saga." He explained, earning a nod from Levi, before he left. About five minutes later, he returned with them. He showed Eren the cover, and he nodded. "Yeah, those are it. Just put the disk in and we'll watch it." He murmured, watching the other bend down. 'Oh, holy hell... He's got an amazing ass... Eren, no. Not gay. Not gay. Not gay. Not gay. Not gay. Okay, maybe a little gay.. Just a little though.. Oh who the hell am I kidding? I've always been gay...'
Eren quickly looked away, clearing his throat. "You can sit on my bed if you want. The chair isn't comfortable." He scooted over, and once the movie had started, Levi sat down, resting his head against the headboard.

About 30 minutes in, Levi paused it. "Have you even had a dream where it's so vivid, you think it's real...?"
Eren stared at him. So.. Was he having the same dreams then?

Eh, this one doesn't have much going on, but I owed an update on it, and well, I didn't know what to put. This one was a little silly, but oh well.
