The Ereri Project (#2)

Creep (Teacher/Student)

It's almost shameful how often just the thought of Levi keeps Eren up at night.

He thinks a lot about how this whole mess started; how he originally hadn't meant to entertain the teen's clumsy seduction.

The younger man seems to have a way of doing that, changing Eren's opinions when he's not paying attention. Levi challenges him.

The raven has a natural intelligence that Eren has never been close to matching so he worries sometimes that Levi will eventually get bored with him.

It seems a little silly since he's the older of the two of them, but because of that, Eren is completely content to let Levi guide their relationship.

He's kind of in awe of his young lover. The way he moves between speaking like a scholar and talking with a messy diction popular for kids his age.

The way his eyes sort of shine when he knows he's backed someone into a corner in a conversation.

The way his expressions change when he forgets to train his face in emotionlessness.

The effortless elegance and sensuality that makes Eren want to bow at Levi's feet.

He knows he's no match for the younger man so he milks what time he can out of whatever it is they have together before it's over.

He doesn't think of Levi as a child, is the problem; and he's not, really, he's nineteen.

But the fact is, he's a student at the school where Eren teaches. And even worse, one of his own students.

He can't imagine the shitstorm that would erupt if the wrong person found out.

They're fine as long as no one tells, but what if someone does? What if...

Levi also has a way of making Eren want to forget all those consequences.

Levi stirs and opens his eyes. "Creep," he mutters in a sleep-garbled voice.

Eren chuckles. "I'm no creep."

Levi leans up on his elbows. "Then why are you staring at me?"

Eren shrugs, scooting over to hold Levi. "Because I love you."

Levi's face goes hot and he's glad his face in hidden against Eren's chest. Eren buries his own face in Levi's hair.

He knows this probably won't last forever but he really hopes it can.
