Levi's POV

The sound of my phone dropping, echoing throughout the room. What did I do to deserve such a thing. Maybe I didn't put myself out there? But what the hell am I meant to say, oi brat I think I like you. Shit like that is fucking easy to say up front. Yes we both had a little too much to drink maybe, but that doesn't justify the way he left without a word. What the fuck goes through that fucking head of his. The shaking in my hands isn't stopping anytime soon, I think I need a rest. I call up Hanji and tell her I'll be late as something important came up. Leaving my cracked phone on the bench I make my way upstairs to my bed.

Eren's POV

Arriving at Titan's I notice Levi's car isn't parked out the front, maybe he got a taxi? I go through the back door and arrive in the office to see Hanji and Jean already sitting down. "Argh Eren, Levi will be coming in late today. So you will have to start of by yourself for maybe the first hour." "Oh okay," "hey Eren, you free tonight. Since we finish early I'm going for a drink with a friend. Wanna come?" What is there to lose, not like I'm tied down by anyone. Even though it feels like I am. "Yeah sure," "awesome, we are just going to a bar down the road from here." "Well enough chitter chatter, you two better get a move on before people start coming in." At least I now have a reason to drink without stopping. 

One hour into my shift and I hear the close of the back door. Turning around to see who it is, my heartbeat quickens. It's Levi and he looks different, something about his attire and the way he has done his hair.  I get back to cleaning up the bar before he notices I'm staring. He slowly and gracefully makes his way over to the bar. The closer he comes the more I notice, his hair isn't gelled back like usual. His eyes are less noticeable now. I feel nausea's, my head spinning and an acidic taste in my mouth. "I'm going to the bathroom," "sure, everything okay?" "Ah yeah," I quickly walk towards the bathroom out the back for workers only. For sure he won't come out here, barley anyone comes here this early in a shift. Closing the door to the last stall, I sit down on the sit. Head in hands, I feel the un-easy feeling going away. I leave the stall, washing my face then making my way to my locker. I swear I put a pain killer in here, shit is it in my other bag. "Fuck, how could I take the wrong fucking bag." "Oi Eren, everything okay?" "Oh Jean, umm by any chance do you have any painkillers, my head kills." "Yeah I should," making my way over to his locker with my drink bottle he gives me two pain killers. "Thanks Jean," "no problem , you still up for tonight?" "Yeah defiantly," "cool, well I gotta go, see you." I walk back to the bar, when I notice some guy I have never seen before talking to Levi. He is laughing and smiling as the guy pats him on his arm. He is a tall guy with a stocky build. His blue eyes shine in the light as he looks directly at levi, with his blond hair gelled back. They both seem to be caught up in a moment, completely ignoring all their surroundings. I feel a pain in my chest, it hurts to look at how well they get along and how close they both seem to be. As I near the bar Levi looks in my direction, our eyes locking for only a second. Ignore them, I just have to ignore them both and serve someone.  The stocky guy gets up and whisperers something in Levi's ear making him smile, before leaving he looks at me and smiles. It's only the two of us now, but thankfully it's getting more busier which keeps us both preoccupied. 

The shift comes to a close as Levi gets rid of the last few customers, way past their drinking limit. I clean up the bar to a standard Levi would approve before making my way back to the back to gather my things. "Eren you ready for a fun night?" "Sure am, whose your friend that's coming?" "I have known him for ages and he is a nice guy so you two should be able to get along just fine." I notice Levi walk into the room in the corner of my eye and open his locker. "Cool, then lets make tonight a good one." "Maybe we can even score a one night stand," I hear the slam of a locker door as Levi walks away from his locker and towards the back door.
