The Devious Maid

The One With The Maid & The Bed

I quickly left my room and re-joined the rest of the group who were still sitting in a circle waiting for us to return to the game.

'You two were in there for a while! What happened?' Sasha's boyfriend Connie piped up as I sat down on the floor, everyone turning to look at me. 'Where's Levi?'

Before I could get out my answer, Levi emerged from my room with an empty cup in his hand. He wandered over to the kitchen island and began to pour himself a fresh glass of whiskey. I was suddenly very glad that I had given Levi the night off. This whole situation could have been worse if he had been working. The fact he was still dressed in that sexy little maid outfit was not helping any. Drawing my eyes away from him quickly, I turned to face Sasha and Connie.

'Look see there he is! Must have gone to get himself a new drink and in case you're wondering, we didn't actually kiss. I mean considering we're old friends it'd be a little weird.' I said softly and tried to hide the guilt I felt about having to lie about kissing Levi. Surely he wouldn't mind that I had to lie. He would understand.

The rest of the night went by in a flash. Drunken bodies shuffled out of my apartment until only Erwin and Hanji who had decided to crash for the night were left. This was not going to end well. I tried my best to keep Hanji as far away from Levi as possible until...

'So Leeeeeevi!' A drunken Hanji beamed as she plopped down onto the couch next to him. 'Tell me about you! Eren has never mentioned you before!'

'There isn't much to tell. Eren & I have been friends since he lived next door to me back in Shina.' Levi said and turned to face her. 'We kept in contact and make a point to visit each other when it's convenient just for a catch up or whatever you want to call it. It's my turn so here I am.'

Damn he was a pretty convincing liar. I found myself leaning against my counter desperately praying that Hanji wouldn't catch on to our lies. That would be a disaster. Everyone headed off to bed but before we even set foot into our rooms Erwin made a proposal.

'Since Levi & Eren are such good friends, They should share Eren's room tonight leaving us with the guest room. If that's not a problem?' He suggested politely and glanced over in my direction. I felt my eyes widen a little before quickly sinking again as I tried to come up with a decent answer.

'Uh sure..? That would be fine. So long as it's okay with Levi..?' I asked cautiously, hoping Levi would say no but instead he threw a cheeky smirk in my direction and nodded clearly still trying to make this situation believable. I couldn't wait till tomorrow when things can go back to normal.

'That's fine by me.' Levi continued to smirk and looked at me, clearly noticing the blush that had creeped it's way onto my cheeks. 'I'll just collect some pyjamas from my suitcase.' And with that he got up from the couch and headed off to the guest room to collect some clothes. Once he had decided on what he wanted he made his way into my room to change.

I gave it a few moments before I made my way into my own room and closed the door over quietly. I turned from the door to Levi and glared at him a little too angry for my own liking. It hadn't meant to be quite as aggressive but my mother did always say I had quite the little temper at times which these days seemed to be almost always. Levi looked at me and didn't say anything for a moment as he slipped off the maid dress revealing his bare chest and nothing but a pair of sweat pants on his bottom half which hung loosely at his hips and pooled a little around his ankles.

'You could at least put a shirt on!' I hissed quietly at him and changed into my own pyjamas which consisted of a t-shirt and some pyjama pants. 'Or even better you could have said no! I get that you want to help me keep up this charade but i'm not exactly comfortable with my maid sleeping in my damn bed even if it is only for one night!'

'You know Eren, You really weren't complaining earlier when I had my tongue down your throat.' Levi smirked as he threw back the covers and climbed into my bed. 'Why don't you just stop whining and get into bed so we can get some sleep and this whole damn thing will be over with? I don't exactly want to play best friends with you alright?'

This was new. Levi had a sudden bold and extremely pissy attitude to him and I didn't like it. It was nothing like the Levi who had started here just a few months ago. Maybe it was the drink doing the talking or maybe this is who he really is underneath all the cleaning and home cooked meals. I grumbled a little and crawled into my own bed, reaching over to switch off my bedside lamp before getting myself comfy.

'Goodnight, Levi.' I muttered softly and closed my eyes over. Just as I was about to drift off into a somewhat peaceful sleep, the voice from the other side of the bed responded quietly.

'Goodnight, Brat.'
