Blinded By His Words

*Blinded love Thirteen*

"Hey Erwin, I want you to meet my new friends!" I exclaim excitedly pulling him into my work, coffee shop. "Okay so behind the counter is were I work! But... seeing as today's my day off horse-face has taken over for me..."

"Horse-face?" Erwin questions, his hand in mine as we walk to the counter where I pout at Jean. Erwin nodding in realization of what I was on about "Oh I see what you mean now" He tells me before leaning down and whispering in my ear "How unfortunate someone was born with a horse face, very unfortunate indeed" 

A chuckle came from me, Erwin soon joining in but we both went mute when Jean finished serving an old couple and narrowed his eyes at us. "Oh right, so Jean is the manager of this place, but is absoultely shit at his job, and basically makes his mega crush on the assistant manager do everything..." I state "Hey Jean?!"

"Jaeger?" Jean growls out leaning over the counter on his elbows looking at me with an uninterested face. "Who's your fuck buddies there?" He teased, but no one should mess with Erwin. I mean no one.

"Well look who decided to come out it's stables! My name is nothing of your concern horse, and you're just envious he got somewhere before you now..." cracking his knuckles he released my hand strolling over to the tensed, small looking Jean "You never answered me boyfriends question"

"R-right... um... M-Marco! Y-you better come out here!" looking down, embarrassed, a jogging black haired, tall freckled boy came out from the kitchen section.

"Oh Eren! Good to see you again!" He says giving Jean a side glance them looking up at the imitating Erwin "You must be Eren's boyfriend am I correct? My names Marco. Marco Bott, the assistant manager of this place"

~ Levi POV ~

"So let me get this straight..." I started, cup in right hand and my left hand in a fist on the table "...he's worked here to say... two, three years? and suddenly upped and left only a few months ago?"

I was sat at a four seated, wooden table with a tall, around my height, boy. This boy, also known as Marco Bott was - as I found out - the assistant manager of this small coffee shop and Eren's old friend, who he hadn't seen in months. It's strange really because the fact is Eren is meant to be with him right now?! 

Marco Bott was, by his looks, around Eren's age - maybe a bit older - but only by a year or two. He was a charming, smiling but a skittish lad. His hair was as dark as mine, him as tall as me, though very skinny and his face is coated with dark brown freckles. 

His boyfriend, the horse, stood behind the till hitting away at the cash register giving me the 'death' glare but I couldn't blame him. Who wouldn't be suspicious of a late twenty year old man to enter a shop and ask to meet someone neither of them knew?

"Well... yes" Marco says, his smile fading away and his right hand scratching nervously at his right cheek "Look sir-"

"Ackerman"

"Mr. Ackerman" He corrects himself shyly "We're not meant to... give out personal information so..."

"No I understand" I say, my left knee bouncing up and down out of habit "But I can assure you I'm a good friend of Eren and just had a few things I'd wished to ask, though I believe you've told me all I need to know. But for my own knowledge do you mind repeating to me what you've already said?"

"Umm..." Marco quietly spoke his words a mess only for the horse to take off his apron, fling it over the till and make his way towards us, leaning down and pecking Marco's cheek protectively, eyeing me as he does so.
