*Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I stole the idea for this chapter from someone but I can't remember who. So sorry ahead of time and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Both boys didn't mention or talk about the events of New Years after the fact. They did though, continue to interact with each other as they usually did. Falling asleep on the couch together, baking together, Eren would paint and Levi would practice on his keyboard. Eren would even let Levi sleep in his bed with him occasionally.

Levi, at this point had convinced himself that the kiss was simply a platonic form of affection. Not that he actually believed that but it's what kept him from being incredibly awkward. Eren on he other hand had to make an active effort to not be awkward. He found himself questioning why he did it and trying to comprehend these new feelings that had been developing since he met Levi. For now, neither of them had the courage to say or do anything about it.

It was a lazy Tuesday afternoon, Eren had just gotten home from work and didn't feel like painting or drawing or doing much of anything. He didn't know where Levi was at the moment and he was just on the couch messing around on his phone. A few minutes into doing that he received a text from Hanji.

Hanji: Hey have u used my present yet?

Eren: oh yeah I forgot about that

Hanji: Use it now it's the funniest thing ever!

Eren: Ok will do

He smiled to himself then tried to remember where he had put it. He  found it and then went to locate Levi. He looked in the bathroom and spotted a tail sticking out from under the sink. He looked closer and saw Levi.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

He heard a disgruntled noise from underneath the sink. Levi crawled out from under it. His hair had gotten a little ruffled from being in the confined space. It made his normally stoic appearance loose it's effect which made Eren giggle slightly. Which in turn made Levi glare at his owner.

"What are you doing?" Eren asked again as he reached over to fix Levi's hair.

"Cleaning underneath the sink," Levi responded by slightly flinching under Eren's touch but was used to it enough at this point.

"Is it really that necessary to clean there?" Eren asked.

"It is to me."

Eren gave a goofy sigh and smiled at the Neko. "Come on I have something to show you."

Levi took off his cleaning gloves and followed Eren into the living room. Eren pulled something small out of his pocket. Levi tilted his head trying to get a clear view of what Eren was holding. Eren purposely held it in a way to hide it from his view.

"Blame Hanji but I couldn't pass it up," Eren said to Levi.

"What are you...?" Levi started but then saw something out of the corner of his eye.

His eyes trailed a red dot that had appeared on the floor a few feet away from him. All of his attention immediately focused on it to where he was now unaware of Eren's presence. The dot moved along the floor perpendicular to Levi and occasionally would dart back and forth a couple inches. Levi's ears and tail began to twitch as he glared at the dot. Eren had his free hand covering his mouth in an attempt not to burst out laughing.

After about two minutes of this Levi couldn't contain himself and he pounced at the laser point. Eren quickly reacted moving the point away. They continued this for the next five plus minutes. Levi would stalk the light, then he would pounce at it and Eren would move the light away last second. Eren got to the point where he couldn't contain his amusement and laughed when Levi accidentally hit a cushion or something. He felt guilty but it was hilarious seeing the otherwise calm, self-controlled Neko run after a dot of light.

After hitting his face for about the third time Levi's tail suddenly stopped swaying back and forth. He then jumped onto Eren who had been sitting on the couch, pinning his arms and glaring down at him. Eren stared wide-eyed at him as Levi was only inches from his face. Levi then swiftly bit his nose.

"Ow! Hey!" Eren exclaimed.

He didn't bite hard, if anything it was playful, although Levi was still glaring at him. He wasn't as much mad as he was embarrassed. Hanji did this to him once and she got a swift claw to the face, but with Eren he felt more inclined to forgive him. He leaned down once more and licked Eren's nose. Eren felt heat rise to his cheeks and in that moment of confusion Levi grabbed the laser pointer from Eren's hand.

"You're no fun," Eren pouted.

Levi gave him an 'are you freaking kidding me' look. He emptied the batteries out and handed them to Eren. He then proceeded to throw away the laser pointer.

"If you take that thing out of the trash can I will destroy it, kill Hanji and seriously consider killing you," Levi threatened.

Eren rolled his eyes and said. "Did you give me the batteries because you didn't want to waste them by throwing them away or by them being used for something like the laser pointer?"

"Both," he said crossing his arms.

Eren laughed a little again and Levi continued to glare at him. He continued to avoid Eren for the rest of the night, again he wasn't mad just embarrassed.

Later that evening Eren and Levi ended up sitting on opposite sides of the couch. After only a minute Eren couldn't stand the awkwardness anymore and scooted over to Levi, Levi tried to move away but Eren caught him and pulled him into a hug.

"I'm sorry for being so mean," he apologized.

"Whatever brat, no need to be sappy," Levi replied.

Eren smiled and ruffled Levi's hair a bit and considered himself forgiven. Levi laid his head on Eren's lap and brought his knees up nearly to his own chest. Eren immediately began to pet him. He scratched behind Levi's ears and when he started to scratch under his chin, Levi began to purr. Eren smiled and turned on the tv. Levi was very content and although he considered purring also embarrassing, he found he couldn't care less when it came to Eren. Eren still didn't understand exactly what he was feeling but he knew he was happy.
