Chapter XXXI

A/N: Hope you all like this chapter because it's the closest you're getting to more... y'know, that stuff. It was freaking awkward to write and it's probably terrible but you shouldn't expect much from me.

A few months following Jean and Marco's engagement Levi and Eren found themselves returning home from Jean and Marco's wedding. It was a pleasant ceremony and the two newly married men were very happy. Jean and Eren made an effort not to fight or argue during the wedding and if Eren was honest, he was very happy for the horse. Levi and Eren both believed that Jean and Marco were meant to be together and were confident that they would turn out okay.

When the got back home Levi was relieved to be able to take the uncomfortable suit off. He tried to take his tie off but he was having trouble with it.

"Need help?" Eren asked closing the front door behind him.

Levi grumbled and tugged at the article of clothing. Eren smiled and helped him despite his protests.

"I'm going to take a bath," Levi said taking off his suit jacket as he started walking towards the bathroom.

"Ooh, can I come?" Eren said jokingly.

Levi turned to him but didn't say anything, he merely shrugged. This surprised Eren, unsure of what to do he went into his room. He heard the water in the bath turn on, a few minutes later he walked into the bathroom to see Levi already in the bath.

"You forgot to take your collar off again," he said.

Levi touched the item around his neck, he often forgot it was there.

"Are you just going to stand there?" Levi asked.

Eren took that as an invitation and he joined Levi in the tub, he first helped the Neko with his collar, then helped him wash his hair.

"Did you like the wedding?" Eren asked.

"It was okay," Levi responded.

"I guess I could say 'I told you so'."

"What do you mean?"

"You did need to know how to waltz," Eren said grinning.

Levi looked at him with a glare on his face. Eren tried to keep himself from laughing due to the fact Levi had bubbles in his hair.

"What?" Levi asked as Eren stared at him.

"You're so cute," Eren said with a grin.

"Tch," Levi turned away again.

Eren hugged Levi and although Levi was irritated he let Eren embrace him. They proceeded to take turns washing each other's hair. They laid in the still warm water together, very happy in each other's company.

"Do you wash your tail?" Eren asked.

"Yes."

"Would you like me to do it?"

"I guess."

Eren grinned and gently washed the tail of his Neko. Levi tried very hard not to, but failed in being able to hold in a purr. They finished and got out of the bath. They both put on more comfy clothing and joined each other on the couch to cuddle. Levi curled up on Eren's chest taking in his clean scent.

"Hey Levi?" Eren asked as he stroked Levi's hair.

"Yes?"

"Are you happy?"

Levi thought about this, then answered. "Yes, why?"

"I'm just making sure."

Levi turned his head to look up at Eren. "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I'm just making sure we're good, I mean, things have been going well and I just want to make sure our relationship is going in the direction we want it to, I guess, I don't know," Eren stumbled over his words awkwardly.

"I don't mind where we are and unless you want to do something differently, I think we're fine," Levi assured him.

Eren sighed and smiled at his kissed the forehead of his boyfriend.

"What did I do to deserve you?" He said, almost sadly.

Levi moved up and gave Eren a peck on the lips. This slightly surprised Eren for some reason.

"I should be saying that," Levi said.

Eren looked at him confused which caused Levi to sigh. "You have been nothing but good to me and this relationship is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me. You could easily function without a clean freak Neko, whereas I am completely dependent on you. If either of us should owe a debt to the other, it is me."

"Levi..." Eren started.

Levi cut him off. "I owe you everything."

Eren could feel himself on the verge of crying, mostly out of joy. He hugged Levi tightly and met his lips for a short and heartfelt kiss.

"I'm sorry for being so... y'know, unsure and all that," Eren apologized.

"You have nothing to be sorry for, it shows you care," Levi assured him.

"You know I love you, right? Clean freak and all," he said with a goofy smile.

Levi rolled his eyes.

"Hey I'm being serious," Eren objected. "If I didn't have you I'd probably crash and burn."

"You're not wrong," Levi said with a smirk.

Eren grinned and put his hand on Levi's cheek. "Maybe I'm the one who can't live without you."

Levi leaned in and kissed Eren, this one was longer. More passion and devotion went into it. He caressed Levi's cheek as Levi rapped his arm loosely around Eren. As they kissed, Levi could feel himself getting tired, it had been a long day. Eren sat up slowly, not breaking the kiss. Levi broke the kiss and looked at him.

"You look exhausted," Eren smiled.

"Shut up," Levi said tiredly, leaning into Eren's chest.

Eren picked him up bridal style.

"Where are we going?" Levi mumbled.

"Bed silly," he carried Levi into his bedroom and set him gently on the bed.

He put the covers over Levi and joined him snuggling up against him. He knew Levi had already fallen asleep but he whispered softly the most genuine thing he could think of.

"I love you, Levi."

And Levi on the verge of sleep thought, I love you, too... brat.
