A Day At A Time - EreRi

Chapter Two - So It Begins

At one point during the day Eren decided to text Levi and see if he wanted to hang out, considering what happened earlier and that maybe he could talk to Levi and find out what was bothering him earlier. He didn't want to get up in Levi's business, but he cared about Levi and he decided it was time he finally did something about it. He wouldn't force him to tell him anything, but he would try to get it out of him to his best ability without upsetting him further. So picking up his phone he texted Levi, 'Hey. What're you doing?' He sends to him, deciding to leave out any emoticons now so he didn't seem overly enthusiastic, as Levi would put it. For a few moments there was no response, but finally Eren's phone went off. 'Nothing really, why?' Is what the message said. Eren looked down at his phone and smiled a bit at the message, just pleased that he responded. 'I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out?' He sends to Levi, hoping for a good response he decided to distract himself until he heard a response on his phone.

Levi was sitting at home doing homework, avoiding his guardian at all costs since he annoyed the shit out of him. He got the first message while doing chores, then moved on to do homework so he'd be more capable of responding. Getting the second message he looked at it before sighing slightly and looking at the time. 5:39 pm. Well a few hours couldn't hurt, so picking up his phone he responded. 'Sure, I'll come over or we'll meet somewhere?' He then hits send, Leaning back against the chair he was sitting in he hummed lowly to his music before deciding to get up and get on his shoes to go hang out with Eren. Just as he got his jacket on he heard his phone go off, looking over and picking it up it was from Eren. 'Just come over, I don't feel like going out right now.' It read. Levi put his phone in his pocket before heading out of the room and sneaking out of the house before he could be stopped. 'Alright I'm on my way.' He sends as he walked down the road and looked around at his surroundings. He enjoyed outdoors, he was probably outside more than in at most times unless it was summer. He always wore long clothing, nothing short ever, no short sleeves and no shorts. He had his reasons, but they probably made no sense to others and they'd probably say 'So what?' or 'It doesn't matter.', but to Levi it mattered a lot.

He soon walked up to the house and knocked on the door, a middle aged woman with the same brown hair as Eren opening the door. Levi looked up at Eren's mum and tilted his head at her before nodding as his greeting, Carla ((Eren's mum)) knowing about his situation and smiling softly as she let him in. "Good evening, Levi. Eren told me you were coming over." She says softly while closing the door as Levi walked in. "Eren's back in his room." She says as she watches Levi, having always noticed something off about Levi after everything that happened. She had said something to Eren countless times but Eren didn't know anything. Turning around Levi showed her a note card that read 'Thanks.' before heading off back to his room where Eren was. Carla smiled softly at the ravenette and watched him walk back to the bedroom before going back to making dinner.

Eren heard Levi come in and was heading to his bedroom door when Levi knocked, so opening the door he saw him before letting him in. "Hey, I'm glad you showed up." He says as Levi walks in and glances around the familiar room. The bed up against the wall and in the corner with the tv just across the room aligned with it and a chair between the door for playing games. He had a desk at the end of the bed and two shelves stacked on top of each other; a closet in the corner and that was it. It was simple and there were few things posted on the walls like posters or notes, but Levi liked it even though Eren tended to let it get messy and Levi had to clean it for him. Glancing back at Eren he pulling out a card, 'Did you expect me to ghost you or something?' He writes down, showing it to him and tilting his head at him. Reading the message Eren laughed softly and shook his head no as he sat on the bed, "No, but you can be slow or maybe your new guardian would've held you back or something." He says while watching Levi as Levi walked over and sat beside him. 'No, I just snuck out before he could notice.' He writes down for Eren to see. Eren nodded and gently patted his back, "Makes sense. Is he that bad though? To the point where you have to sneak out?" He asks while starting up a game for them to play, Levi watched him before shaking his head no and beginning to speak as he grew more comfortable. "No, but he'd probably tell me to finish my chores or homework." He says lowly while looking at him, deciding to talk since he wouldn't be able to write in the middle of gaming anyways. "That makes sense too." Eren says to Levi, smiling happily at the fact that he just spoke to him.
