Ereri (completed)

CHAPTER 6

Three days later...

I wake up on the couch again. Just like last night. I've been sleepwalking lately, not really getting a good sleep. I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes. That's when I notice Eren sitting there.

"Good morning, Levi."

"Good morning." He kisses my forehead and helps me up.

"Hanji and Armin have been up for a while. Last time I saw them, they were in Hanji's room doing some science stuff."

"Let's hope they don't get too crazy." I mutter, earning a beautiful smile from Eren.

"Are you hungry?"

"Always." He laughs and we go to the kitchen. He starts to make oatmeal. "Oatmeal? Again?"

"It's all we have right now." I nod as he continues to cook. We are cleaning up when Armin runs out of Hanji's room.

"I need a spoon!" He yells and grabs a spoon before running back and slamming the door.

"Wow they're getting pretty intense in there." Eren says with a laugh. Lately, it's been hard for me to hide my feelings for him. Everything about him has gotten under my skin and won't get out of my head. "Are you alright, Levi?"

"Yes. I'm fine. Just... thinking."

"About what?" He asks, leaning on his elbows on the counter, right across from me.

"You." I murmur quietly. I look down at my hands on the counter but I can still see him blush. He rests his hands on top of mine and he holds them. I glance up at him and he smiles. He walks around the counter so that he's next to me, never separating our hands. Our eyes are locked and he leans down but I panic and back away.

"Sorry... I just couldn't-" I cut him off with a warm kiss. He immediately wrapps his arms around my waist and I drape mine over his shoulders. He pulls away suddenly. "Do you want to... take this to my room...?" I hesitate. Does he really want to... oh my god... I nod, looking into his eyes. He blushes madly and we walk to his room. I close the door behind me. I've never been this nervous. What the hell is wrong with me? He's just a brat... a very sexy brat. Shit.

"Are you sure you want to..." He trails off.

"Yes. Of course." There's a moment of awkward silence before he steps forward and captures my lips in another kiss. This one isn't like the last one. It's full of lust. I push him back onto the bed and kiss his with all the emotion I've been hiding since I've met him. He groans softly as I pull off his shirt and sit up to take off my own. I'm straddling him now, my knees on either side of his hips. His hands trace my muscles and I lean down to kiss his neck. "Tell me if I go too fast." I whisper and he nods slightly, tilting his head to the side to give me more room. I kiss down his neck and chest make, little hickeys here and there and marking him as my own. He shivers under my touch and I can tell that I'm driving him insane.

It all goes by too fast for me. I wish it could've lasted forever. We were a tangle of lips and limbs for a good hour. But it's enough to get us just what we want.

"Brat..." I pant as I lay next to him.

"Jerk..." He says with a smile, snuggling into me. "This wasn't just a one night stand, right? You'll stay with me forever... right?" He sounds sad all of a sudden.

"I promise I'll never leave you. I love you, Eren."

"Thank you... I know." I kiss the top of his head and he falls asleep wrapped in my arms. I never want to leave him. Never ever. But I know that what I told him was a lie. I love him with all of my heart but I know we can't be together. I know that I'll have to leave him. I'll hate myself for it and I'll miss every little thing about him but I just... I just can't do it.
