Ereri: Online Encounters

Part 5

As soon as Levi finished his cereal, I followed him up the stairs, dragging my heavy backpack behind me. The house was very big. The floors were marble and it seemed luxurious.

We reached his room. He opened the door for me. "Get in," he said. I hurried into his bedroom. It was covered with posters. Levi pointed at his bed. "Sit down," he said. I sat onto his bed. It was firm, but soft enough to be comfortable.

He went to his closet and grabbed sweats and a t-shirt. Levi started changing out of his school uniform in front of me. I tried not to look but I couldn't help but notice his defined abs and toned legs. He had a really nice butt, too. "Gotta problem?" he said when he noticed me looking.

"No," I said.

"You gay or some shit?" he asked.

I shook my head. "I- don't think so."

"Well that was a pretty gay thing to do," Levi said.

"Uh, I guess," I said. Levi smirked.

"If you are gay, it doesn't matter. I'm bisexual so it's not like I'll have a problem with it." I blushed shyly. My face turned bright red and I felt my ears get hot.

"You okay?" Captain asked. I nodded. "Good," he said.

"Can I say something a bit weird?" I asked.

"Sure," Levi said. "You've said A LOT of weird stuff online so I don't care."

"Well, I'm really excited to meet you in person. I feel like I've known you my whole life but I've never actually been able to see you. I'm so glad I can now." I said.

"Me too, Eren. When I saw you stumble into my class, I knew good things were to come." Levi said.

We spent our time up until dinner talking about my journey to Japan and everything anyone could ever talk about and more. I felt so safe around him, almost ecstatic to be near him. He's so...pretty and handsome and muscular. Levi made me feel so fulfilled. I don't know why. I guess just because I look up to him so much.

After dinner we went back to Levi's room and talked for more time. He opened up about his recent ex-boyfriend, which made me uncomfortable to talk about. I looked at the clock. "Oh shit, it's late," I said.

"Oh, yeah it is," Levi said, glancing at the time.

"I should go," I said.

"You should, but I don't want you to," Levi said. I gave him a confused look. "I'll talk to your mom, you'll be sleeping over tonight."

"But it's a school night..." I said.

"And?" he said.

"Well I need to get up early and all my clothes and stuff are at my house. It's just inconvenient."

Levi squinted at me, then chuckled. "Stupid brat, you can just borrow some of my clothes. We've got everything covered. Plus I can drive you to your house in the morning if you need something," he said.

"Okay then. Also could you stop calling me 'brat'? It's annoying." I said. Levi turned to face me. He exchanged a look of dominance with me, then pinned me down on the bed. Our faces were centimetres away from colliding. His body was warm against mine. "I'll call you 'brat' if I please. Stop being so sissy," he whispered, without breaking eye contact. His face was expressionless and his voice was monotone. He bit his lip subtly. We sat back up again. I felt so strange. I never felt this way before. My cheeks became rosy and I started breathing harder.

"You okay, brat?" Levi asked. He clearly noticed I was acting differently.

"Uh yeah I'm fine," I said.
