Picture Perfect (Ereri/Riren)

Chapter 7

(Levi POV)

I sighed as my thoughts ran wild with Eren.

Surely he couldn't like someone like me. He's a kid with a future, me on the other hand, I would most likely end up working at some fast food chain after highschool. While he would go on to college and to achieve greater things that I could never dream possible.

I had liked Eren since I first laid eyes on him. He looked bright and full of energy but he also seemed deeply troubled. I had seen him eyeing me across the street when I first saw him. And boy was that some introduction.

He had hidden behind bush to take a picture of me. He hadn't noticed me watching him, but his cheeks were still flushed.

Not only was his personality amazing and honestly sometimes left me breathless, he was hot as fuck.

He was attractive (His persona was some good shit) enough as it was, but he still managed to look beautiful. His tan skin and turquoise eyes would have been a strange combination on anyone else but Eren pulled off the look effortlessly.

His outfits fit just right and more often than not it would take everything I had to not pin him down and tear his clothes off.

I had some questions about his sexuality too. I had seen him hanging out with that blonde muffin-headed kid Armin. I was envious of Armin. He was so close to Eren and the bond they shared seemed unreachable to me. The way Eren looked at him was so intimate... I'm probably over thinking it.

There's no way someone as perfect and amazing as him could be gay, let alone single. I could never be that lucky.

I decided I would wait at least till next week to tell him I'm gay.

I don't exactly like to come out; I mean if straight people don't have to come out, why should I?

The only reason I came out to everyone I meet a few years back, was to weed out the bad friends, the unsupportive ones. Also to the new people I meet because, if they didn't approve of my sexuality I wouldn't want to waste another minute on getting to know them or getting attached.

I honestly don't know what I would do if Eren didn't like me for who I was. I hadn't been this willing to connect to someone, since Erwin....

Back to the matter at hand, Eren had noticed I had been staring at him for the past few minutes without saying anything. He had been rambling on for a while now about photography techniques that some famous guy nicknamed Mr. Jefferson used on a student of his.

"He would target the vulnerability in his students and capture the moment in a delicately timed photo. Isn't that something?"

I just nodded my head and stayed quiet. If I didn't speak, Eren would eventually ask for my input and I loved it when he said my name.

"Levi? Hello? Earth to Levi. Anyone home? You even listening?"

I smirked at succeeding in making him say my name.

"Yeah of course. Some batshit crazy teach kidnapped his students and photography was his kink. Not that I'm kinkshaming anyone."

He sighed and my smirk grew into a smile. He even crossed his arms and puffed out his chest in mock anger.

"Sorry for being brutally honest. I was technically correct though right?"

He dropped his arms to his side and raised one to my head and patted my black hair.

If it was anyone besides Eren, I would have ripped their throat out for patting me.

"Yes, congratulations Levi. You are a hundred percent factually correct in making that statement. Would you like a cookie for it?"

I loved sarcastic Eren. I grinned pretending to actually want the fictitious cookie.

"Really? Damn Eren, I don't know what to say. This is an honour. Thank you all so very much. Thank you to the Academy, thank you to all of you in this room. I have to congratulate the other incredible nominees this year for their unbelievable performances. Climate change is real. Thank you."

Eren rolled his eyes and burst out laughing at my Leonardo DiCaprio speech.

"Where's my cookie?"

He was practically crying of laughter and he was rolling around my bed when he fell of the it.

"OWCH."

I almost broke down laughing then and there. Tears filled my eyes, as I tried to contain my laughter.

"You good there brat?"

I peered over the bed as a hand grabbed my wrist and I fell with and "oof" next to Eren.

"What was that for? The ground is dirty as fuck."

He laughed out loud and I just pouted.

"That's what you get for making me fall off the bed."

I shook my head at him and felt at peace. I liked messing around with him, it was fun and fresh. I never did this kind of stuff with anyone else.

"How was you flailing around my bed and having a seizure on the ground my fault?"

I made an innocent face and he just elbowed my side.

"Yeah I bet you wouldn't have a clue what on earth caused that."

I shrugged and looked at Eren.

"Forgive me Eren Jeager for I have sinned."

He chuckled and played along.

"Tell me then Levi, what is your greatest sin. Be honest now, or burn in damnation with the other sinners."

I laughed at his sarcasm. Honestly sarcastic Eren was a hell of a turn on.

"My greatest sin, that would be dating shithead Erwin a while back."

He looked genuinely shocked. Oh wait.

I just let slip, I was gay. Erwin's a guy. Duh. There goes waiting a week.

"I thought you came from France."

I nodded and took a deep breath. The mood had been efficiently ruined. I'm glad he didn't seem bothered by my sexuality.

"I was born in France, I moved to America about 2 years ago, moved back to France a year later, and then came back to America this year. During my first visit to America, I made a few friends and dated Shitwin. It didn't end well and even now it's still a little awkward."

Eren stayed silent till I finished my explanation and when he seemed satisfied he started talking.

"Levi are you straight?"

I scoffed and turned to face his gorgeous green blueish eyes.

"I'm as straight as a curved fucking rainbow. How about you?"

He laughed and went quiet for a while.

(Eren POV)

Holyy shittt

Levi is gay. Maybe there is a god. Okay Okay Okay. Do not freak out. Fuck what am I? I think Levi is hot and okay I've never really checked out any other guy but Levi. I have never dated a girl or had a crush on one before so my safest guess would be that I'm gay.

"Um, I guess I'm technically gay."

Levi raised a brow and began to smirk.

"Well, welcome to the club."

I smiled at him as he extended his hand and I shook it.

"Pleasure."

We both burst out laughing after that and I almost forgot we were still on the floor.

"Hey Levi, mind helping me up?"

I was not prepared for what happened next. Levi swooped me up and threw me on the bed.

"Shit Levi! I said to warn me like 100 fucking times!"

He just threw his head back and laughed.

"And that is what you get for making me join you on that filthy floor."
