In Another Life- Ereri

Chapter Fourteen.

Now, normally I'd push the guy back away from me, but every time moved even an inch closer, I literally felt my heart skip out of my chest. How could I miss out on such an opportunity of being this close to literally one of the hottest guys I've laid eyes on? On top of that, I felt as if he was going to kiss me, and come on, if you had Levi fucking Ackerman about to kiss you, would you pass it up? Nope, didn't think so. Though, part of me was screaming no. Part of me, the part that I longed to ignore told me that this was a bad idea. Guess what? I didn't listen, and if one day I regret not listening to my brain, well, tough luck because my heart had taken control.

"Levi,"I breathed out his perfect name was the space between us came to a close. One moment I was standing in front of him, and the next he had me pinned against the wall, "What are you doing?" I asked, our faces merely centimeters apart.

"Don't act as if you don't know," He mumbled, his small hand wrapping itself around my waist, while the other reached up and gently took it's place on my cheek. Just his simple touch sent shivers down my body.

"Don't kiss me if you don't mean it," I said, my eyes almost closed as I started to close the space between us, "because if you do, you'll regret it." I said as I finally pressed my lips onto his, my own hands clutching onto his shirt. At first, he didn't kiss me back, and it was honestly a bit disappointing. Perhaps I was merely going to be a game, but when he did finally kiss me back, it sent the butterflies in my stomach into a frenzy. Every moment we spent locked in the magical little kiss, I felt myself fall deeper and deeper into the little hold he had on my heart and I feared that I'd never be able to dig myself out of it. When the two of us finally parted lips, we sort of just stood there, trying to comprehend the feelings the two of us shared for each other. Both of us, even though we didn't say so, could very much agree that there was a mutual form of affection that we felt towards one another, though it was far from love. A little crush, if you will.

After a few moments of standing there, just staring at each other, Levi took a step backwards and rubbed the back of neck, "Well, I've never kissed a guy before, but I do have to say I think you've turned me gay, Jaeger." He said, clearly trying to joke around, which make me crack a grin. Levi was too serious to really ever joke around and now that he was, it made me pretty damn happy. It was a side of Levi I didn't expect to really see, and I was pretty happy he was giving me this little opportunity.

"So, uh," I started, heat rising to my cheeks as I tried to find the correct words to really even start what I was about to ask, "Does this like, mean we're uh..." I could really say it, it was embarrassing to me. Well, not embarrassing, just difficult.

"Boyfriends?" He finished for me, and I nodded. He let out a soft sigh, though didn't say anything for a good few minutes. I was a little worried, and I wasn't entirely sure what he'd even say. Levi was a very unpredictable guy, and I was scared he'd reject me. I'm not entirely sure what I'd do if he did decide to do so. "Well," He finally spoke up, his cold eyes locking with mine, "I suppose it does, however school and affection are not going to mix too well quite yet." He explained, running a hand through his hair, then taking a step closer to me, "I'm not out, and I'm not sure how to come out. I'll do it eventually, I just expect you to give me a little time." I nodded my head and slowly engulfed him into a tight embrace, the biggest of smiles on his face.

"I understand, Levi. I'll respect that." I murmured, keeping myself close to him. I couldn't even explain how perfect this moment meant to me.

Now, I'd really like to apologize for the lack of updates lately. I'm trying to keep this up-to-date, but it's not happening. School is messing with me mentally and physically. All of my classes this term are ridiculously hard, and on top of that, I've just been so damn tired. I knew I owed you all an update, so here it is. I really am sorry though, so I hope that this chapter will make it up to you guys! I love you all, and thank you so much for reading it!

This story is almost at 5k, and it means a lot to me. I love Ereri so much, and I'm glad to see that you guys all love my story!
