Chapter six

Eren gripped Levi's survey corps jacket, pulling the Corporal closer. "Hi." The word was a whisper, soft and breathless.

"Jäger, let me go."

"Hmm... Don't want to."

"Eren."

"Levi."

"Let me go."

"Don't want to." The Shifter stuck his tounge out, smiling.

"You only have a few weeks left, you know," Levi said. He regarded the subject with ease —at least, when Eren wasn't Eren.

"I know."

"Three weeks."

"I know that."

"Then no more crazy Eren Jäger."

"No more Eren at all." Levi sighed, closing his eyes. "I'm right, you know that?"

"I hate you." Levi bit Eren's lip, his tongue running along the skin. Eren whined, feeling his lip fall back into place. "Be careful what you say," Levi said, pushing Eren back. Eren gripped Levi's hand, pulling him back.

"Sorry."

"Wasn't you."

"It... It was, though. I won't come back after..." Levi nodded, kissing the younger's hand.

"I know."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, too, Eren."

"Did you... Did you really mean that?"

"That I hate you?"

"Y-yeah..."

"No," Levi said. "Provoking you, somehow, brings you back..."

"Oh," Eren sighed, closing his eyes.

"Eren?"

"Y-yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

Eren cupped Levi's cheeks, pecking the man's lips. "Yes. I'm okay."

"Good," Levi sighed, placing his forehead against Eren's chin.

"Hey, Ravioli! Titanio!" Hanji laughed, ruffling Eren's hair and resting her head on Levi's.

"Hey, Hanji," Eren greeted, smiling.

"Hi, Shitty Glasses."

"How're you two love birds?"

"Good, I guess."

"Captain Erwin sent me," Hanji said. "We're going on an expedition, for the first time in a while, actually. Either of you want to come?"

"Sure," both of them responded, shrugging. They took hands, before following Hanji to the stables, where the gear and flimsy swords stay.
