Chapter 11

"What happened to him? Is he okay?"

I listened as Petra and Armin fuss over what to do with me and my appearance. All I remembered was waking up in Petra's apartment half naked with a hangover that hurt like a bitch. Did I really drink that much?

"I think so. As far as I know Erwin didn't get too far with him."

"Oh my god, what should I tell Eren?"

I sat up at the mention of Eren's name and groaned when my head started pounding. "Fuck, my head. Petra? What the fuck happened?"

Petra turned to me looking relieved as she threw herself at me. "Thank god you're okay! What did he do to you?" I raise an eyebrow and her expression turns worried. "Do you really not remember?"

I shake my head. "Vaguely. I remember drinking with Erwin, I think he took me to his house afterwards...wait, I didn't-?" I ask in a panic, hoping I hadn't had sex with him. Petra shakes her head.

"No, not that I know of. I swear if he hurt you-"

"I'm fine, Petra." Petra looks at me, looking helpless as her eyes start to water.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Levi. I'm sorry for saying the things I said, I didn't mean it..."

I grimace and pull her into a hug. "Shut up. It's done and over with." She nodded and wrapped her arms around me tightly.

I let her cry silently into my shoulder for a few moments before she pulled back and wiped her cheeks. "What should I tell Eren?" Armin asks again.

Petra shakes her head and turns back to him. "It's not our job to tell him. That's up to Levi."

"Why the hell should I tell the brat I just got fingered and nearly raped by my ex owner?" I growl. "What does Eren have to do with anything?"

Armin pouts and crosses his arms. "Eren has taken care of you, Levi! He took you in from the streets for fucks sake!"

"So? That doesn't mean I have to report everything to him like he's my parent!"

Petra flicked my forehead and glared at me. "Levi! Listen, he doesn't have to say anything to Eren that he doesn't want to, Armin. We can't force him to say anything about this."

"Exactly. Can I leave now?" I ask, already standing and sliding on my pants. I didn't bother waiting for them to answer; I just went straight to the bakery. I didn't plan on telling Eren what happened to me...at least not yet. There was really no reason for me to say anything, but...

Eren was watching TV alone in the living room when I returned to the loft, and he offered me a smile that made my heart skip a beat. "Hey Levi. Did you have a nice time?"

Of all the things he could possibly say to me at this moment, he simply asked if I enjoyed myself. A smile naturally comes to my face as I approach Eren, finding myself sitting on his lap. "Yeah, not really. I drank a little too much, so now my head fucking hurts," I say lightly, smirking as his face colors with embarrassment as well as my own.

"Oh...that's too bad." Eren reaches his hand up as if to pet me but hesitates, and I sigh as I nudge my head into his hand to encourage him. He seems to relax a bit and pets my head gently, causing my eyes to slip shut in content. "Where's Armin?"

I shrug. "Hanji's still, I think." I adjust myself so that I'm straddling Eren, trying not to think too much about the rising blush on my cheeks. Eren stiffens when I nuzzle my head into his shoulder, and I frown as I pull away. "Sorry, I'm not trying to be weird...I just miss being held and comforted like I used to be."

I'm nearly off of Eren's lap when he pulls me back down making me yelp in surprise.

His face is inches from mine, and my whole body heats up. "Don't worry about it. I don't mind it."

"Are you sure?" I ask, wanting to hide away so he can't see my burning face. I hear him hum and after a moment I feel his forehead touch mine. My tail curls behind me and my ears flatten slightly when he wraps his arms around my middle pulling me closer to him.

My ears swivel when I hear the door open followed by Armin's voice, and I hurry to leave Eren's lap. "Eren, have you seen Levi?"

Armin freezes when he sees me leaving Eren's lap, and guilt takes over. I honestly forgot the kid liked Eren until now. Just my luck. He forces a smile that seems to fool Eren. "Oh, did I interrupt something?" He asks in a light tone, even though I knew he's probably thinking of different ways to kill me on the inside.

Eren shakes his head, causing me to blush but also causing my heart to throb painfully. He had in fact interrupted something, but I was obviously the only one who thought so.

"No, you're fine." I turn on my heel and head towards my room, and Eren called after me. "Levi?"

"Goodnight," was all I said before secluding myself to my room, crawling into bed and burrowing myself under the sheets.

Heat rose to my face as I recalled what I had done just a few minutes ago and hide my face in my hands. I can't believe I straddled Eren like that! It felt so natural too. I pinch my cheeks to try and snap myself out of it, but it doesn't work.

As much as I wanted to deny it, I had a crush on the brat.

Wonderful.

It's been a few days since I last saw Erwin, and for a good reason. Petra suggested I stay away from him, but I couldn't do that forever. I called him an hour ago to arrange a meeting time at the same bar we went to a few days ago, and my stomach was in knots the entire way there.

I wanted to see him again, I just wasn't sure if I wanted to get drunk this time, and when I saw him smile his sensual smile when he saw me enter the bar, I definitely didn't want to get drunk this time. If I was being totally honest, if anything happened between Erwin and I, I at least want to remember what happens.

"Hello handsome," he purrs when I approach him, pulling me into a hug and kissing my cheek.

I offered a weak smile back and sat on the stool next to him. "Listen, I need to talk to you about what happened last time we came here." Erwin sighs, obviously not wanting to talk about it. "Why did you do that? You knew I was drunk, so why? That's not really a smart move to make when you're trying to earn my trust back," I say, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"I didn't think you were that drunk," he says, downing the shot the bartender had given him.

Something yelled at me that he was lying, that I was going to regret what I was about to say, but I said it anyways.

"Well I'm not drunk now." Erwin raises a bushy eyebrow and I sigh and down the second shot that had just been served to him before looking him in the eyes. "Let's go back to your place."

~~~

Erwin looked completely shocked that I suggested we go back to his place, and I was honestly surprised myself.

I don't know why I wanted to, I just did. But then again...maybe I was lying to myself.

I think in the back of my mind I knew I was trying to distract myself from recalling the feeling I had last night when Eren held me, to convince myself that what I was starting to feel for Eren was absolutely nothing more than a spur of the moment crush that could all but disappear by tomorrow. After all, he'd been exceptionally kind to me from the moment we met, not only giving me a job but also a place to live, so that would cause anyone to confuse his kindness for flirtation. Right?

All I knew was that I was here with Erwin at his house, letting him kiss me and letting his hands roam my body and wishing, imagining that it was Eren instead.
