WE WERE BEST FRIENDS // EreRi

Chapter 15

"whoaaa! you're actually coming!" says Ymir who just arrived at the airport with Historia on her side. 

"good morning, Eren!" Historia greeted. 

"yeah, morning. have you guys seen Levi? he didn't answer my call while I'm on the bus," I asked while looking at my phone, waiting for any notification from him. 

"really, Eren? you just got here and all you ask is where Levi at?" Ymir said with an unimpressed expression. 

I furrowed my eyebrows at her. "uhh, yes? because he is my only friend and... he had something to say to me today and... I just have to know,"

"eager little bitch," Ymir smirked. "you have some kinky shit boi,"

"what's a kinky?" Historia and I asked in the same time made Ymir turned at us with red face. 

"no need to know. it's bullshit and please don't ask Levi about it, he'll fucking rip my-," Ymir's words were interrupted by the sound of a cough. 

"or I will what?" I grinned when I saw Levi was right next to me. Like, holy shit! I haven't seen him since weekends! and I fucking missed him, I cannot lie. He also had something to say, I wonder what it is. 

"ah, Levi!" Ymir nervously chuckled. "look, Historia and I need to go to the toilet,"

"we do?" Historia turned her head to her but her lips were covered with Ymir's hands. 

"indeed, we do," she said before nervously walking away to the toilet. Or sorta. 

I shrugged before looking at Levi with a smile. "why didn't you tell me that you're going to the airport with your mom's car? I wouldn't have buy the stupid bus ticket,"

"because my car, my rules,"

"uhh... coreection. that's your mom's car," I said with a smirk.

"correction, bitch. I bought that car for my family," I looked at him with wide eyes, I even almost spit my mouth.

Levi? Buying his own car? Shit. I can't even pay for my own meal, I need my mom to help me with that. Levi Ackerman was able to bought a fucking car? Are you fucking with me right now?

"are you serious?" I asked, a bit unsure if Levi is telling me the truth or not.

"what, Jaeger? you don't believe me?" he glanced at me.

"n-no! it's not like that!" I said while nervously smiling at him. "I'm just... surprised,"

He looked at me with that grey kinda blue eyes. Speaking of his eyes, I start to wonder what kind of color his eyes are. Depending on the light, sometimes it could go from grey to blue. It sometimes sparks too! His eyes are pretty.

"Eren," he calls me made me jump out from my own thought.

"yes?" I answered. I felt him approaching me and I gave him a smile, expecting him for something that I don't even know.

"listen, I'm not going to say this twice," he said while furrowing his eyebrows.

"okay, I guess," I nodded.

He inhale before slowly exhaling and looked at me. "I've been... thinking about this a lot. and... I don't know if it's alright for... the both of us... to... I don't know. it might ruin our relationship and even if we tried, it won't work out...,"

I tilted my head to the left before raising an eyebrow at him. "Levi, as much as I love that speech of yours, but I have no idea what you're trying to say to me,"

"Eren," he glared at me but then soften his expression when I put both of my hands up for defense. "I cherished our relationship as best friends,"

I chuckled before smiling at him. "you're so sweet, Levi. I feel the same,"

He looked up to me with a hopeful looks somehow. "yo- you do?"

"yeah!" I exclaimed before fist bump his chest like I did to him from the other day. "I feel like you're the only friend that stuck with me until this day,"

I remembered it very clear that his smile dropped when I told him that I felt very lucky to have him as my friend. The face that never show much expression now shown thousands of expression, but all I can see was disappointment. He looked broken, and that moment, I realized I took him for granted.

"o-oh," was all he said.

"are you alright? your face... looked pale. Levi, are you sick?" I asked him, grab his shoulder before looking to his eyes.

Then, he suddenly, frustrated, grabbed both of my shoulders and push me further and further until my back hit a wall. I was too shocked to realized what happened until I saw the desprate face of him. What is wrong with him?

"Levi, what's wrong?" I whispered to him, trying to embrace him.

"Eren," he frowned at me. "you don't understand. it's not what it looks like. you gotta... you gotta understand, Eren. you gotta understand what I'm trying to say to you,"

"what are you talking about, Levi?" I narrowed my eyebrows at him. "are you sure you're alright? are you okay?"

He was about to say something but then our math teacher just called our school to re-group to the imigration desk inside since they are done with the tickets and seats. I felt Levi slowly letting go of me.

"Levi, I-,"

"we'll talk later when we're in Bali," he said before turning his heels and walk away.

"Levi!" I called before stopping him from join the others. "Levi, are you mad at me? I don't know what I do but please stop. I tried to understand what you're trying to say to me but  I can't think of anything!"

He looked at me with a small smile before patting my right cheek with his soft hand. His hand is so soft. I love his hands.

"it's okay. I'm not mad, Eren," he smiled.

I grinned at him. "good! let's talk about this later in Bali, alright?"

"yeah, sure," he nodded before we both starts walking to the imigration desk.

"so, who will you sit next with?" I asked.

He stopped and think of someone before smirking at me. "Petra, I supposed,"

My heart suddenly feel weird when he told me that he is going to sit next to Petra. Really? After all these other girls and he decided to sit with Petra? I'm so attacked. Levi Ackerman wanted to sit next to Petra who calls him with 'kun'?

You know what I else I could do to him? I could call him 'daddy'! Oh shoot! No! That's not what I meant! Forget what I said. Stupid jealousy. What? I'm jealous that Levi is going to sit with Petra instead of me? Pfft, that's fucking stupid. Of course not! Why would I?

But, deep inside, I was so hurt and broken. I never knew that I wanted him until I lost him. I should've said yes.

I snapped away from my thoughts before glarimg at Levi and grabbing his hand, leading him away from the girls or, specifically, Petra Ral.

"oh hell no, you're not getting Petra for a fucking 4 hours flight,"

When I turned to see his reaction, I swear that I see him covering his mouth with his hands. Or should I say that he was laughing. I could hear his sweet chuckle underneath and that send me shiver down to my spine. His laughter was beautiful. And I wish nothing but more of his pretty laugh every day.
