House Cat [Neko!Levi x Eren, Attack on Titan]

Chapter XIX

The next day was Sunday and Levi woke up and looked up at Eren. His mouth was hanging open slightly as he slept. Levi couldn't help but make a small smile. He got up carefully, trying not to disturb Eren. Levi then changed out of the clothes he had slept in and proceeded to make breakfast. A few minutes in he felt two arms wrap around him. Eren set his chin atop Levi's head.

"Morning beautiful," Eren said tiredly.
Levi simply rolled his eyes and continued working on breakfast. Eren continued to hold onto him and he nuzzled his face into Levi's neck.

"Food smells good," Eren commented.

"We won't be able to eat it if we stay like this you know," Levi said.

"I don't want to move, I'm tired and you're so warm," Eren whined.

Levi blushed slightly and quickly finished what he was doing. He pinched Eren's cheek and pulled him off.

"Ow, ow!" Eren exclaimed.

Levi just smirked and put the breakfast on the counter and sat down. Eren joined him and they ate in a comfortable silence.

"So what do you want to do today?" Eren asked as he finished eating.

Levi shrugged and picked up their plates and took them to the kitchen sink.

"I know! We should go on a date!" Eren smiled broadly.

Levi stopped what he was doing and thought about it. They were technically boyfriends now, so going on dates would be a thing they would do. Levi wasn't overly excited about the idea of going out in public, but he figured it would be alright if he was with Eren.

"Ok," Levi finally responded.

This made Eren smile even brighter. He ran around the counter and hugged Levi again. Levi tensed up due to the fact Eren was squeezing him, again.

"Eren..." He said trying to breath.

"Sorry!" Eren said releasing him suddenly.

"I'm sorry, I'm just excited," he apologized sheepishly.

"It's fine," Levi assured him.

Eren still wasn't satisfied. "This is just kinda important to me, I want to do this right. So I guess, sorry if I'm a bit crazy and awkward at first but you deserve the best so I'm going to do my best to give that."

Levi blushed a little and looked away. He didn't understand why he was so flustered, maybe it was because Eren made him feel special, something he didn't feel he deserved. Eren grinned at him and helped him finish the dishes.

"So what do you want to do?" Eren asked.

Levi shrugged. "I don't care, you choose."

"Well, I was thinking we could go to the park later and then have dinner at that Japanese place. That sound cool?" Eren asked.

Levi noticeably cringed and Eren quickly realized why.

"Too many people? We can do something else."

"No it's fine, it's a good idea," Levi responded.

"You sure?"

"Yes, anywhere we go will have people and be dirty anyway."

Eren laughed. "I guess that's true."

For the rest of the morning and into the afternoon the two boys hung out together, painted, practiced the piano. As evening approached they left to dinner. The restaurant and the park were both within walking distance of their apartment so two decided to walk.

They walked through the partially wooded park on a path that led down to a small creek. During that walk they were side by side and there hands kept hitting each other. Eren was embarrassed from the morning and didn't want to overstep his boundaries, even when it came to physical contact that they were already used to with each other. Every time their hands accidentally touched Eren apologized. This started to annoy Levi, so after awhile he grabbed Eren's hand suddenly. Eren was shocked by this but soon smiled as Levi looked away blushing.

Once they were done at the park it only took about five minutes to reach the restaurant. They stopped holding hands when there was more people, it being more uncomfortable for them. They ordered their food and started talking, not about anything in particular. Levi, although he normally preferred listening, really enjoyed talking to Eren. He was patient and always listened intently to what Levi had to say.

Once their food arrived Levi stared at Eren's plate.

"What?" Eren asked, grinning.

"That's going to make you sick," Levi warned.

Eren looked at his plate of various types of Japanese cuisine, mostly sushi. There was a mixture of cooked and raw foods, alone these items looked good but for him to eat them all at once... Levi had a bad feeling. On the other hand, Eren just wanted to try as much as he could.

"Don't worry about me I got this," Eren said winking at Levi.

Levi just shook his head and started eating his own food. They talked as they ate and both had an enjoyable time and the food was very good. On the way back home Eren started feeling sick to his stomach but he didn't say anything. When they got back it had already gotten dark.

"I'll be right back!" Eren said quickly, running to the bathroom.

Levi shook his head again. He then heard the sound of Eren throwing up. He went and stood in the doorway of the bathroom, leaned against the side of the doorframe. Eren looked up at him with a sheepish grin, Levi raised his eyebrows at him.

"I know, I know," Eren said standing up.

He washed his face and smiled at Levi. "I guess this is where you say "I told you so", huh?"

Levi just smirked at him. Eren went over to Levi and stared at him, asking permission to make contact. Levi nodded and Eren took his hands and put his forehead on that forehead of his friend, Neko, boyfriend. He leaned in to kiss Levi but was stopped. Levi brought up their hands and put his finger on Eren's mouth.

"Not until you wash your mouth out, twice," he said adamantly.

Eren smiled and gently let go of Levi's hands. "Yes sir!" He said doing a goofy salute.

"Brat," Levi said.

Eren smiled even wider and then went to find mouthwash. When he was done Eren went into the living room and Levi was already sitting on the couch.

"Waiting for me?" Eren asked sitting down.

"Tch," was Levi's only response.

Eren laughed a little and asked. "Can I kiss you now?"

Levi rolled his eyes. "You're a child."

Eren smiled and reached up to hold Levi's chin gently. He brought their lips together in a sweet kiss. It seemed to reassure the both of them that this was something they wanted, that it was right. They broke the kiss and proceeded to cuddle and watch tv for the rest of the evening.

A/N: I'm probably old enough to be all of you guys' Senpai and I literally have the no experience (or interest tbh) in romance. So sorry if their romantic encounters are crap I have the emotional maturity of a seven year old. And at the same time I'm probably still too old to be going through a fan fiction writing faze but, y'know, whatever. I hope this didn't suck too badly, thank you for reading, voting and commenting!
