New Kids (ERERI) *Currently Rewriting*

Chapter 17

EREN'S P.o.V

Today was December 31, 2016, which was also known as New Year's Eve. Levi and I decided to spend our day together since we hang out with our friends a bit too much. We haven't had alone time for a while now so we wanted to take advantage of it.

Anyways, our friends wanted to be with their families so we didn't mind. Levi and I drove up to a mountain at around 9 p.m so we could see the fireworks better. It was currently 11 p.m so we had to wait another hour.

We've been sitting in my car just talking about life and whatnot. We enjoyed each others company. We can be talking about random things, or not talk at all and consume the comfortable silence between us.

" Hey, Levi ", I turned my head to face him and he hummed as I called him.

" What are you going to do after we graduate from Wings of Freedom Academy ? ", I've never really thought about what I was going to do after my high school life. I know I wanted to pursue to become an artist, though I wasn't sure yet.

" Well.. I was actually given a medical scholarship to UCLA . ", he continued. I nodded, though I was hurt. Maybe because Levi might leave me to go to another state for school.

I was quiet after he said that. He seemed to noticed after I didn't say anything after that. I lowered my head and closed my eyes tightly to prevent tears from falling out.

" Eren, baby ", he raised my head up with his finger which was under my chin. He tried to make me look into his eyes even though I couldn't.

" Don't think I'm gonna leave you just because I'm going to college at another state. You can come with me. I've actually been looking at a few apartments to stay at ", he smiled. I faked a smile because I didn't want him to see me sad.

Of course, I didn't want him to leave me behind. I didn't want to sound selfish.

" You don't have to do this. We can visit each other on your breaks ", I said. But I didn't want us to just visit each other.. I wanted to be with him everyday. It would even hurt if we weren't together even for a day.

" No, Eren. I want to be with you everyday. I know you want to be an artist when you grow up, and there's a fine arts college in LA. ", I knew he was talking about The Art Institutes.

" We'll figure something out ", Levi then pulled me into a kiss and I gladly kissed him back. Though, we pulled away seconds later so we could breathe.

It struck 11:30 p.m as we still waited in the car. We were going to go outside 5 minutes before it hits 12:00 so we can admire the fireworks much better. Our hands were together with our fingers interlaced.

My legs were propped up onto Levi who didn't seem to mind since he was playing a game on his phone.

" What was the most greatest thing that happened this year ? And why ? ", I asked Levi. He paused his game and put it down. It seemed like he was thinking very hard.

" You.. you're the greatest thing that ever happened to me. To be honest, I've always thought that I was going to spend my whole life alone. Until I met you.. everything about you is beautiful and I'd love to spend my whole life with you ", at this point my eyes were tearing up.

" I love you so much, Levi ", I was wiping away my tears with the hem of my shirt. Levi, on the other hand, was laughing at me a bit because of how emotional I get.

" C'mon, lets go outside. It's almost 12 a.m ", we both got out of the car and walked to where we could see the fireworks the most.

Levi then started to count quietly.

" 5 "

"4 "

I looked at him with confusion because I didn't know what was going to happen.

" 3 "

" 2 "

" 1 "

He pulled me into a lustful kiss as loud popping of fireworks appeared on the sky. I broke it away after so I could see the fireworks.

They were beautiful, so much colors. I wasn't really fond with loud things even though I can deal with Hanji. I pulled Levi into a hug and looked him into his beautiful silver grey eyes.

" Happy New Year, baby "

lol, sorry for not updating earlier.. I had to sleep early last night since I had to go out the next day. But this story is probably going to end in maybe 3-4 chapters. So, keep in touch. Also, I am typing out a new book after this which is called " Milk & Honey ", I might change the title though so yeah.
