"Levi, are you okay?" Eren asked, concerned for his boyfriend who was showing nervousness, in his own little discreet way. It was by twirling a pencil in his fingers, because when he was in the underground, his weapon was a knife. The knife was just about his safety blanket for him. He lost it when he joined the Survey Corps. So he would twirl pencils instead, as a calming technique.

Levi didn't look up from his work. "I'm fine."

"You don't seem fine, you're doing that habit again. What's really wrong?" Eren sat down on the desk, taking Levi's hand in is. "You can talk to me, you know that, right?"

Levi nods, "I know. I'm just stressed about the event coming up."

Eren frowned, "you mean Armin and Erwin's wedding in a few weeks?"

Levi nodded, finally meeting his eyes, "yeah...."

"What's there to be nervous about? We just stand on either side of them. Nothing more, you already prepared your speech of being Erwin's best man, and I've gotten mine ready for Armin. All there will be left to do is eat, drink, and be merry. And dance, of course" Eren said, trying to calm Levi down. But the second Eren and mentioned dancing, Levi averted his eyes once again. "What? Are you worried about looking stupid when we dance? Because it'll be fine, as long as I have you, and you have me, we'll be okay."

Levi nodded slowly, "Eren.... Eren I don't know how." He admitted, raising an eyebrow.

The brunette blinked in surprise, "oh, is that all? That'd be an easy fix. Why didn't you tell me?"

Levi frowned, "Tch. I didn't think it would matter."

"Well then, I'll just have to teach you." Eren decided, getting off the desk and holding his hand out to Levi, "may I have this dance?"

"No." Levi deadpanned

"Oh, come on!" Eren grabs Levi's hand, pulling Levi into him. "Just put your left hand on my shoulder, good. Now, I'll put my right hand on your waist"

Levi squeaked undignified, "watch where you put your hands."

Eren shrugged, "I think you're fine. Now we hold our other hands, like that, and since you're smaller, I'll lead. Just follow my footsteps."

After a few counts, Levi stopped, "this is stupid. We don't have any music."

Eren giggled at the childishness that Levi was expressing, "I could sing to you?" He offered, causing the raven to turn a light, almost pale pink. "Here..." he cleared his throat and started dancing again, singing in Levi's ear.

"Okay maybe I'm shy,
But usually I speak my mind
But by your side
I'm tongue tied
Sweaty palms, in your hands
Think I have no confidence
But I do, just not with you
So... I'm singing all the words
I'm scared to say
So forgive me
If I'm doing this all wrong
I'm trying
To write you a love song
But what can I do?
I'm stuck on you
Just like the night sticks to the moon
Yeah
I'm stuck on you.
Yeah.
I'm stuck... on... y-"

Eren was cut off by a pair of lips. Levi's to be exact. The younger one kissed back, putting his arms around Levi's waist. As Levi put his arms around Eren's neck, he pulled away, "I love you."

Eren smiled back, brushing Levi's bangs out of his face.

"I love you too."
