The PBC

Chapter 19

Eren went to Levi's house after school Friday, as had become the norm for the past three weeks. Eren may have learned French quickly, but the two thought it would be best to refine it. Also known as their excuse to be able to spend time together, even if Levi didn't give the biggest of shits.

The plan was to get some tutoring in till 5, then they'd head to the supermarket for their apples and raspberries, then head to the movies for the seven o'clock show, and Eren should be home anywhere between nine and ten.

So when they finished with their quick tutor session, Eren was more than happy to buy their fruit since Levi had offered to pay for Eren's ticket. So they sat outside in the park, people watching while munching on their healthy snack.

Levi rolled his eyes at a couple walking by, hanging off each other and cooing at each other. Eren noticed this.

"Something wrong?" He asked the shorter male.

"Fucking mushy shits, wasting their time with a fucking illusion." Eren's heart clenched slightly.

"All because you don't believe in love, doesn't mean others don't." Eren said. Levi turned to him, eyes narrowed.

"It's all a load of bullshit and meaningless words." Levi snapped. Eren flinched slightly at the Juniors response. And it riled Eren's anger a bit.

"What the actual fuck. I was just stating a fact. The world is full of idiots, Levi. People believe what they want. All because you view love as a giant hallucination doesn't mean that everyone else does. I understand you don't believe in it, but don't snap at me when I didn't do a damn thing wrong." Levi's eyes stayed narrowed as he looked away.

"Peu importe, gosse." Eren sighed as he calmed down.

"Sorry for letting my anger flare." Eren needed to try to keep calm to get Levi to open up. He then turned to the shorter male. "Levi, can I ask you a question? And I swear if you say I just did I will take away your raspberries." Levi turned to Eren with a scowl.

"Depends brat." Eren smiled softly.

"If I asked you any personal questions, how likely would it be that you'd actually respond? And please don't get snappy. I just want to know what makes you comfortable." Levi looked away and popped another berry in his mouth, letting it melt on his tongue a bit before swallowing and responding.

"I don't do personal about myself." Eren nodded. Levi wouldn't admit it, but he was slightly grateful that Eren wasn't going to push. Usually, his other flings pushed until he ended it, or they got sick of him keeping his mouth shut and left him.

To be complete honest, Levi was completely impressed with Eren. His previous flings had a complete fit when they found out about his other flings, and just dumped him. Eren didn't. He had a fit, but it wasn't the worse he's encountered, and Eren didn't leave him. He stayed, and was willing to tell the bitches where to shove it. Eren also asked for boundaries and fully explained himself when defending his argument when Levi snapped. Most people don't and won't put up with that in a relationship. But Eren was totally different, and Levi liked that.

Would he admit it? When hell froze over, world peace was official, monkeys flew out his ass, pigs flew, and his father was faithful. But Levi could silently enjoy it while he popped another raspberry in his mouth while Eren chucked his finished apple core at a couple making out on a bench a few feet away.

"Why the fuck aren't you in baseball?" Levi asked when the core actually fell down the front of the girls way too low cut shirt. Eren smirked as he leaned back and grabbed another apple.

"Because in middle school I almost broke a bat over Jean Kirstein's head." Eren said simply before biting into the apple, looking away so the initial spray of juice wouldn't hit Levi, then proceeding to whip the juice of with the napkins they had also bought.

"What did the fucker do?" Eren shrugged.

"Can't really remember. I think he was telling me what he'd do to my sister it he had the chance to get alone with her. I was suspended for two weeks, but it was worth watching him cry like a bitch." Levi nodded.

"So you're more trouble than I originally thought." Levi said before he ate another raspberry. Eren shrugged.

"Not really, I never start fights unless provoked. And I win in one way or another." Levi quirked an eyebrow as he whipped raspberry juice from his fingers.

"What the fuck does that mean?" Eren smirked.

"Because the only times I've lost, the fucker got suspended for longer than I would've and usually are more beat up then I am." Levi hummed in response before glaring at his slightly stained fingers. Eren smiled as he watched Levi pull a baby wipe from his pocket and begin to rub his fingers, slowly turning the wipe red.

"Come on brat. The movie starts in 45 minutes and I want to make sure our seats are fucking clean." Eren chuckled as he stood, disposed of their garbage, and headed to the movie theater.

The movie was great and Eren couldn't have been happier. It really was focused towards guys or tomboy girls. Though one guy did bring his girly girlfriend who screamed and complained during the entire thing. Besides that stupid bitch, Levi and Eren had a good time with each other.

Levi found out that Eren was a very good partner to go to the movies with. He'd get engrossed in the movie, eyes not leaving the screen, and would respond appropriately, if not a little louder or frequent than others. He wouldn't talk during the entire thing, but would hold Levi's hand and offer their shared popcorn at well timed intervals.

Eren found that Levi was the best person to go to the movies with because he gave witty comments about the actors or plot, but didn't distract Eren, and he wasn't completely closed off since he was actually the one to offer holding hands and would quietly say 'merci' when offered popcorn.

"That was awesome!" Eren said as they walked to Levi's car. It wasn't quiet time for Eren to be home, but he did have to be home so that he could help with chores the next day.

"Wasn't that bad." Levi said. Eren smiled as they slipped into the car. The ride to Eren's house was filled with Eren sharing his favorite parts of the movie and Levi commenting on why his favorite parts were stupid or decent. Once they got to Eren's driveway, Eren turned to Levi.

"So, awkward car kiss or do I just get out?" Levi was slightly speechless with that. Everyone usually sat there expecting the kiss or just take it. It's not like this would be Eren and Levi's first kiss with each other, but the fact Eren asked made Levi feel content.

"Why the fuck are you asking?" Was how Levi responded though. Eren shrugged.

"We've been dating a week, this is my first relationship, and I don't want to single handedly fuck it up by pushing you to do things you don't want to do." Levi didn't say anything as he just leaned forward and kissed Eren. Levi pulled back and noticed Eren's light blush as he blinked his beautiful blue-green eyes.

'Wait, beautiful? Pull yourself to-fucking-gether dumbass!' Levi thought as Eren smiled softly.

"Good night Levi. If I don't text you this weekend I'll see you at school Monday." Levi rolled his eyes.

"Whatever brat." Eren giggled lightly as he got out of the car and Levi watched as Eren entered his house before the junior pulled out of the driveway to head home. On the drive, Levi thought that keeping Eren around even if this thing didn't work out would be a good thing.
