~Part 3~

      "Mikasa, Armin... I'm gay. " Eren's tears began to fall one by one onto his lap. Armin looked at Eren and patted his back "I know. I've always known, but it's okay, Eren. You don't need to cry because I accept you for who you are.  Nothing you do will ever change that." Eren smiled softly, his nerves calming slightly before he looked back at Mikasa. Mikasa had let go of Eren's hands covering her face. A muffled cry came from behind them. "Mikasa?... Are you okay?" Eren was starting to breathe heavy, afraid that Mikasa was not going to accept him. He moved back from her, a feeling of disappointment rushed over him. "Mikasa, I'm sor-" "Eren! You idiot! I thought you were going to say you wanted to leave or something! THAT'S OKAY IF YOU'RE GAY! But if anyone ever lays a hand on you, I'll demolish them on the spot."  Eren's eyes light up, he looked up at Mikasa, and an overwhelming wave of relief draped over his heart. The two of them hugged but then Mikasa pulled away and sighed. "With that said I want say that I am not straight either, I'm not really sure what I am but I do know that I like women as well..." Both Eren and Armin looked at her with wide eyes, "Huh??" the two said in unison. Mikasa looked at them dead straight, there was confidence in her eyes, she wasn't afraid to state her mind. "Mikasa, that's awesome! I know that whoever you end up with, they'll be great." "Yeah! Wow Mikasa that's seriously a shocker but a good one!"  Armin agreed. 

      The three of them laughed and begun to eat when Eren's phone vibrated.

Text from Levi:

Levi:  4th floor, skyroom, #417. Knock before you come in.

      Eren's cheeked bared a soft red and a small smile spread across his face. "Who's making you blush, Eren?" Armin said as he stuffed his mouth with the fried rice . "I have an assignment that I'm going to be working on for two weeks with the hot cafe guy. His name is Levi." "Levi? As in Levi Ackerman?" Mikasa asked with wide eyes, her dumpling almost about to fall from her mouth. "Yeah? Why is something up?" Eren was nervous, was Levi a player? Does he use people? Maybe he's a criminal? Thoughts began to flood his mind and he was unsure of how he felt about being alone with him now. "No, no. Not all, it's just. I've heard about how mean or mmmm cold he could be. Always with a death glare." "Oh...okay." "I just want you to be careful, okay? I swear, if he hurts you. I'll have his head!!"Armin laughed at Mikasa proclamation who just about choked on the piece of chicken he was chewing. Eren patted his back to help him and Armin nodded that he was okay. "Okay, okay. I'll be careful, I promise." Eren gave a small chuckle and then replied back to Levi.

Text from Eren:

Eren: Okay, I'll see you in 30.

      I can't believe he's actually coming! Shit...I better wash up... What if something happens? No no too soon..I'll have to plan it out. I'll start of slow and go from there. We're talk about our families. My family... As Levi thought about his family, the sadness and pain showed in his eyes. He walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him he slide down against. He brought he's knee up to his chin a small  tear shed and slipped down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and removed his clothing, stepping into the cool shower.

      "Guys i'm gonna get ready, I told Levi i'd be there in thirty minutes and it's already almost five." Eren scratched the back of is head and stretched out his arms above him. He went to his drawers and pulled out some clothing and went to shower. I wondering what Levi is doing. Probably thinking of all the obvious insults he could tell me. Eren scoffed at the thought. Maybe he's gonna make a move. He seemed just a little flirty. Oooh, I'll get to hear about his family, that'll be interesting. And my family...  Eren grew hot, as anger grew inside him, he sighed and the hoped in the shower, hoping he could ease his mind before he left.

      Breathe Eren, you're fine. We're just going to work on the paper. Nothing is going to happen. But what if it does? What do I do? Ugh, it's hot. I hope I look okay. Eren was wearing  some dark denim jeans, a dark grey thing long sleeve that he rolled up to his elbows. Revealing his muscular forearms, along with some classic high top converse. He now stood before Levi's door, he knocked as he was told and walked in. Levi stood in the door way of his bathroom , a towel hung over his shoulders, partially covering his bare chest. There were still drops of water across his hair and body. The open windows allowed the setting sun to shine across is raven hair. He was glowing and Eren's face burned a bright red. He quickly turned away "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't know that y-you weren't ready!". Levi smirked and walked over to Eren turning his face to look into Levi's directly. He smirked and leaned into Eren "What's the problem, brat? Never seen a man shirtless?". 

      In truth, Eren had but never in this way. There were beaches, pools, movies, but to be alone with a half naked man was completely different. "I-I have too! said Eren, the lie tumbling out his mouth and Levi could tell. My god, he's so hot! His chest looks as firm as I thought and a slim fit waist, fuck Eren. Stop thinking like that! "Hmm, if you say so." Levi said emotionless, he pulled back and walked away. "Come sit. I'll go find a shirt." Eren finally took a breath, he had been holding it in since Levi was so close to him, he walked over to black leather couch and plopped down with his bag on his lap.  The couch was set near one of the wall not exactly touching it. Levi's dorm was indeed bigger than his and Armin's, it was basically an apartment. He looked around the room which was more like a small lounge, there was door towards the back that Eren assumed was Levi's room being that he walked in there to find a shirt. The place seems spotless and there wasn't a spec of dust anywhere. It was chic and modern with a black and grey scheme. Meanwhile Levi was still in his room and taking quite his time.
