Levi

"Levi?" I slowly turn to see the boy that almost ran into me, staring at me quizically, his eyes slightly squinted. Ah, now I remember. This is the boy that's always on the beach with the same two friends. Whenever I go to the beach I find myself staring at him, wondering what it would be like to be held in his arms. I always saw him from a distance, but now that he's up close and personal, my heart beats a bit faster. Like how his skin is the perfect tone of tan, and how at a distance his eyes looked hazel but they are actually the color of the Caribbean ocean on a warm summer day, watching the sunset on a white sand beach. How perfect his biceps are, and every muscle on his body bulged perfectly. How he wore his swim trunks lower, showing off a perfectly chiseled 6-pack and a "V" that starts by his pants and rises almost to his torso. How his hair was the most silky, perfect shade of brown, and how it lay perfectly tousled by the beach wind. How tall he is, almost a clear 5 inches taller than myself. His voice, so smooth and the perfect pitch of deep that makes you melt internally. "Is it really you?" Suddenly his voice snaps me back to reality, causing me to slightly look away and brush my cheeks with blush. "W-what do you mean? How do you know my name?" I try my best to make my voice sound stern and deeper. "It's me! Eren! Remember? Eren Jaeger! You were my tutor for years and we were friends for all through middle school!" He shouted with that perfect pearly white smile of his. I mentally compare a picture of the Eren Jaeger I knew and the one that stands in front of me now. "E-Eren? It can't be you... I was taller than you. Way cuter, too." I said, rolling my eyes. "Ouch. But it really is me! Only a few people hate the same heterochronia like me!" He half laughed, pointing to his eye, causing me to notice the slight yellow part of his eye. It really is him. I hide my excitement with a,"it's been a while, you've grown up quite nicely...." he looked away, scratching the back of his head while his face blushed. "Thanks... hey! We're gonna watch the fireworks tonight, but since this is such a wonderful reunion, how about you come to my house and we can watch the fireworks together! I'll make popcorn and we can eat Pocky and popsicles and drink lemonade! Ahhhhh~ it'll be great." He said softly, then wrapped and arm around my shoulders. "Whaddya say, then?" Calm down. Calm down, Levi. Just calmly say 'yes'. I let a short sigh. "I guess." Erin let out a loud whoop and hauled me onto his back for a piggy-back ride. "Letsa-goooo!!" And with that, we were off to his house.
