My Dirty Little Secret

Secret Fifty: What the F*ck're You Still Doin' Here?!

Eren snuggled up to the man next to him. He had been so worried about his grades in school that he never actually noticed that Levi was still sleeping in his bed. He didn't notice that the guy hadn't left at all, that he came to his house every night after work. Eren had gotten so used to it that it just didn't register in his mind.

So, while he lay there, snuggled up warmly to Levi, he began to think, for the first time. Why was there someone next to him? He smelled familiar. Had to be someone he knew, but the triplets didn't sleep in his room. So, who? Eren opened his eyes and looked up. He abandoned his position and fell of the bed scrambling on the floor to the nearest wall.

Levi opened his eyes and stared, "what's your problem?" 

"What's my problem?!" Eren scoffed, "what's your problem. Why the fuck are you still in my house?!"

"I asked you if I could stay, like several weeks ago. Did you just now notice?" Levi laughed. It was the first time Eren had seen him smile. Eren blushed, he wasn't supposed to be blushing, he was supposed to be furious. What exactly is going on right now?

"I don't remember you ever asking such a thing!" Eren scowled, failing at that glare miserably.

"Well, you did seem to be concerned with testing or something," Levi thought back. He asked Eren while he was studying and the guy just nodded, probably trying to get rid of him. Levi was satisfied with that answer, not really wanting to be told 'no' so he never brought it up. But did Eren really pass by all these weeks without noticing someone was in his bed? That was a bit of a problem...

"Argh, just get out of my house already!" Eren huffed, throwing the nearest thing, which happened to be a lamp.

"Do I really have to leave?" Levi looked a bit sad. Eren pretended not to notice he didn't want to feel guilty. No. Eren is a strong independent woman. He will have Levi leave toni-tomorrow. Yeah, it's too late tonight...

Eren climbed back into the bed (after properly picking up the lamp. Eren's aim was off by like a lot), "you can leave tomorrow. I'll let you stay one more night," Eren sighed closing his eyes. Levi was tempted to wrap his arms around Eren, since his back was turned, but decided against it. Levi didn't want Eren to get mad and kick him out. He should probably just leave it be tonight. This was his last night here after all.

Levi couldn't sleep at all that night, he only thought about what he should do the next day. He couldn't go back home, his parents hated his guts. They only loved Mikasa, the smart good-natured student. They hated him and kicked him out as soon as he was of age. He had been working and living in a cheap space. Even the landlord kicked him out of there, Levi had no place to go. Levi sighed.

The sun rose, the male left before Eren even woke up, as if he hadn't been there at all, and looked for a good spot on the street. He didn't know how long he would be there...but he might be able to find some place.

Eren woke up, with no Levi. He pretended the whole thing was a dream and went about life as usual. It was boring without Levi there, he soon realized but he chose not to think about that.

"Eren!" Armin waved a hand in front of the guy's face.

"What?" 

"You have been staring like that for a while now, what is wrong with you?" Armin asked. The two were sitting in the cafeteria, a blue haired boy and a raven-head walking past them, to their table. Eren hadn't noticed them before but he recognized the one with the eye-patch. They hadn't met, no, they shouldn't have anyway. That guy was wearing  a Rank One uniform. Armin and Eren were Rank Twos.

So where had the two met?

Eren thought long and hard, continuing to ignore his blonde friend.

Then he remembered, Svante! Levi was drinking there and that boy was there too! Along with that blonde who was also at their table. What were Rank One's doing at that kind of place?

"Eren!" Armin called out but the student just got up and walked over to the Rank One's elite table (plus raven-hair guy but that's irrelevant). He slammed his hand down and looked at Ciel, getting his attention.

"You," he said, staring intensely. Ciel just stared back, wondering what this guy was doing. Ciel knew who he was, the boy had been thinking the day would come when something like this might happen, but he hoped it wouldn't. He just had a few more months til graduation. Was this guy really going to ruin all that for him? Just because he recognized him?

"Can I have your number?" he asked finally.

"Sure?" Ciel got out a piece of paper and wrote it down, handing it to the guy. If that was all he wanted this would be a lot easier then he thought...or he just gained another annoying acquaintance. 

"Thank you!" he smiled, walking back over to Armin. He figured since the guy was at the weird strip-club place, he probably had some experience with liking guys. Maybe Eren could get some advice, now that he was fully determined to like Levi. It was just too lonely without him.

Eren had the privilege of already knowing Levi liked him, it was just a matter of deciding if he really did like Levi....or if he just thought he liked Levi. He had spent so long being in denial while dating Mikasa that he never really figured it out.

But now he knew.

And he was going to do something about it.

Maybe...
