Sixty Degrees (BoyxBoy)

Blame?

"LEVI!"

He knows it's futile, knows that there is nothing he can do to make up for what Levi just saw him do. But he has to try, even if nothing comes of it. Because he made a mistake, the biggest mistake he could have made and he needs Levi to understand that. Even if he doesn't forgive him, he just needs him to know that he made a mistake. That he acknowledges it.

"Levi, wait!" He calls, running out of the nightclub door that Levi had just swiftly exited.

Eren runs after the back that is retreating almost too quickly for him to catch. Levi's head is hung low as he walks away, showing no sign that he hears his name being called.

"Levi, please just stop," He's pleading now, and while he'd prefer to keep his backbone through this whole ordeal, Levi did have some of the blame after all, he doesn't think he'll be able to. He's already breaking, as if he's losing the one thing that he's always wanted.

Just as he expected, Levi does not stop, doesn't even slow down as he disappears into the darkness of the street, the lights of the nightclub and surrounding establishments no longer reaching out to illuminate his silhouette. Eren calls out one more time before his feet stop moving, effectively gluing him to the spot, he can't see Levi anymore. He heaves a sigh, staring into the night for a few more minutes before turning around and walking away.

He doesn't head back into the club, not wanting to face either Armin or Erwin, so instead he walks down the street in the direction he assumes the university is. He didn't even want to come out tonight, and yet he knows it's his fault for what happened, he didn't have to kiss Erwin, and he still did it.

After walking for some time later he sees the lights of the university glowing in the distance, he picks up his pace to a swift walk just as he feels a vibration in his pocket. He pulls his phone out quickly,

hoping to read Levi's name blinking across the screen, his face drops as he reads Armin's. He looks down at the screen for a moment before pressing the end button and placing it back in his pocket. He has no desire to speak with him right now.

He knows it's childish and he has no reason to be mad at his friend, but somewhere in the slight haze of his not so sober mind he can't help but be angry at the blonde. Of course Armin had no idea what Eren was going to do once he got drunk enough to allow some stranger to grind against him, but that doesn't do anything to quell the anger rising in him. He can't help it. If Armin had not been so insistent on getting him to go out, so insistent on Eren getting his revenge, then maybe he would have been able to spend the night curled up in his bed with a book, thinking about what he could do to fix things with Levi. Or if he did go out, perhaps he wouldn't have thought it was such a great idea to get his said revenge, he might have been able to have a few drinks and maybe dance with Armin.

A completely harmless night.

The vibration starts up again, he doesn't even look at the caller ID before he presses the end button, shoving the device roughly back into his pants.

He rounds the corner, of one of the buildings on the outskirts of the university campus and almost stumbles into a person walking in the opposite direction. He doesn't have time to focus and see who almost ran into him before the guy gives him the finger and continues on his way. This only fuels Eren's anger and he turns his body around again to tell them to go fuck themselves only to find them already out of sight. He heaves a sigh and begins walking again, his anger building up within him with no outlet presenting its self.

No he knows the perfect outlet.

The guy who started this in the first place.

Just as Building H comes into view, he shifts direction towards Building K. He knows exactly what he's doing, he's going to go to Levi and apologize, apologize for being a dick. Apologize for making out with Levi's best friend, because that's what has made this whole situation worse, the fact that Eren chose Erwin for his revenge. It was the stupidest thing he could have done, but still he can't bring himself to regret the action. Sure it was bad, but it at least got Levi to notice him properly, even if he now sees him in a negative light. It doesn't matter as long as he notices him.
