Mare's Nest (Ereri)

Chapter Seventeen

I attempted to draw Eren and Levi from this story, but I messed up quite a bit. But whatever.

My eyes fluttered open to see Eren's stunning multicolored eyes. "Morning, love," he smiled warmly. His action made me sigh happily. My stomach fluttered, and a smile crawled it's way to my lips. "Morning," I whispered back. "You seem happy today," he explained. His groggily voice made me melt, and I reached up to intertwine our fingers with his uninjured hand. "Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.

An adorable smirk tugged at one side of his mouth. His lips pressed lazily against mine. The space between us closed as we eagerly moved towards one another. His hands rubbed my bare back as mine traveled through his locks of hair.

Soon enough, his tongue entered my mouth, and I moaned quietly. My body was enveloped by his as I was folded into his embrace. Eren removed his lips from mine to suck on my neck's exposed skin. My skin became fire as he licked the mark he created.

Ineluctably, we shed the sheets and slowly dressed one another. I buttoned his shirt as he adjusted my flat cap. We switched tasks once I finished with the buttons. Being lazily pampered made an uncontrollable smile split my cheeks. Eren pressed a kiss to my divided lips.

We slipped into our trousers, took each other's hands, and strolled out of our room.

The cafeteria was already filled when we arrived. Our entrance attracted Armin's attention. "You two slept in," he announced. Eren and I sat beside him, hands still intertwined. "We were tired," Eren replied with a smile. "Couldn't keep your hands off your fiancé?" Armin asked. "I've never been able to keep my hands off him," Eren retorted. The blond chuckled as a blush rose to my cheeks.

"So when's the big day?" Armin asked with a sudden ebullience. Eren and I looked to one another and simultaneously shrugged. "We haven't thought about a date yet," I replied. Armin cheered, happy with my answer. "I have some ideas for preparations."

Eren smiled to his friend. "We'd love your help," he explained.

Armin explained his many ideas for our private wedding. Some were too extravagant, and Eren and I politely declined the extreme suggestions.

We spent the time trying to confirm a date. Eren excused himself to retrieve something as Armin and I continued discussing. We decided on a day as Eren returned.

"Armin, we're running out of food," he pulled out a pile of money. He took the currency and pocketed it. "This should pay for a weeks worth of food," Eren explained. Armin nodded before standing.

"Do you want to come, Levi? We could continue discussing wedding plans," Armin suggested with excitement. I smiled and nodded. "Be careful and don't draw attention to yourselves," Eren warned as I stood from my seat. Armin and I replied with a chorus of agreement, which caused Eren to smile.

He pecked my lips as a farewell. "I love you; I'll see you soon."

Armin grabbed my arm to drag me out of the room. "Bye, Eren!" I called as we left.

I strayed away from Armin once he was distracted; wanting to have some time to myself. I hid myself in an alleyway as my mind raced, and I couldn't focus. I needed to plan a way to tell Eren everything. He deserved someone more trustworthy than me, but he seemed to think otherwise.
