Fifty Shades Of Ereri

Chapter 3

Eren's P.O.V~

~~

Kiss me, damn it! I wanted to implore him, but I couldn't move. I was paralyzed with a strange, unfamiliar need.

I was completely captivated by him. I was staring at Levi Ackerman's mouth, mesmerized, as he looked down at me.

His gaze was hooded, and his eyes were darkened. I almost stopped breathing altogether.

I'm in your arms. Kiss me, please!

He took a deep breath and shook his head as an answer to my silent question.

"Eren you should steer clear of me. I'm not the man for you," He whispered.

What, where is this coming from? Surely I should be the judge of that.

I frowned, my head swimming with the thought of rejection.

"Breathe, Eren, breathe. I'm going to stand you up and let you go" he said quietly, and gently pushed me away.

NO! I WANT TO BE KISSED! I MADE IT SO OBVIOUS AND HE DIDN'T DO IT. HE DOESN'T WANT ME, HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT ME.

"I've got this" I breathed, finding my voice. "Thank you."

My face was red with humiliation. How could I have misread the situation between us like that?!

I needed to get away from him.

"For what?" He frowned. He hadn't taken his hands off me.

"For saving me" I whispered.

"That bastard was riding the wrong way, I'm glad I was here. I shutter to think of what could have happened to you. Would you like to sit for a moment?"

He released his hands from my side, and I stood in front of him feeling like a fool.

I cleared my head with a shake. I just want to go, what would Levi Ackerman want with me, what was I thinking?

"Thanks for the coffee... and saving me" I murmured.

"Eren... I.." He trailed off.

"What, Levi?"I snapped irritably.

"Good luck with your exam" he said quietly.

"Thanks." I couldn't disguise the sarcasm in my voice. "Goodbye, Mr. Ackerman."

I turned on my heels and walked away from him.

I walked until he could no longer see me. I pulled into an alleyway and let the tears spill from my eyes.

Sliding against the brick wall, I put my head in my hands.

Why am I crying? What was I thinking?

Just calm down Eren...

When I got home, Armin was sitting on the couch.

He made eye contact with me. "What's wrong?"

Oh no, he can see it.

"You've been crying." He said. "What did that small bastard do to you?" He growled.

Jeez, he looked scary.

"Nothing Armin" I said with a smile.

"Then why have you been crying? You never cry." He asked, his voice softening.

A few days later, I got a package in the mail. Inside were first edition books by my favorite author.
