WE WERE BEST FRIENDS // EreRi

Chapter 23

[LEVI]

"Annie," I saw her on the street. She turned to my direction before approaching me with that suit that... seems to be rare. 

"Levi," she greeted me. "haven't see you around after the Bali accidents. how you've been?"

I shrug my shoulder before putting my hands in my pocket. "never been better. what about you?"

"I'm on my way to Reiner's by the way," she explains. "want to stop by?"

"thanks but I'll pass that," I said. 

She raised an eyebrow at me. I hate it when people do that, that made them look like a cocky bastard and I despite cocky bastards. "where are you heading anyway? you looked... very casual than usual,"

"what are you talking about? I dress like this all the time," I turned at her. 

"are you going to Jaeger's?" she smirked before giggling. "there's no point of hiding it, Levi. you told me that you love him, but you're too pussy,"

"shut up," I rolled my eyes. 

"you have to tell him, you know," she turned to me with a smile. "sometimes a relationship like yours won't hold on last longer. you have to realize it sooner before it disappear,"

I look down to the ground and starts thinking about it. Annie's right, I have to think of something. I have always thought that this relationship that Eren and I had won't stay like this forever. He told me that he likes me too but why is it so hard for me to say that I want him as mine?

"I heard Eren is packing," she said before look around at the cars that passing by. 

It caught my attention. "packing?"

She turned to me before rest her left hand on her hip. "you haven't know?"

"what?"

"what? I thought you're his best friend," she poked my shoulder before smirking. "or were you?"

"shut up," I said while rolling my eyes before look back at her again. "I'm serious. Eren is packing? what are you talking about?"

"wait, you actually don't know?" I shrug my shoulders made her let out a sigh. "how do I know this but you don't? you're his... I don't know, boyfriend? you even escaped with him to your stupid gate away or- whatever you called it-,"

"I'm not his boyfriend," I glared at her. 

She glared at me back. "yet,"

"what the fuck?" I mumbled under my breath but Annie hears it because, the second I said that, she turned to me with an upset expression. 

"Levi, if I'm being in Eren's shoes, I would be very hurt," she said. "if he even hear what you just said and what you did,"

"what are you talking about?"

She glared at me. "Levi, Eren needs answer. he can't keep on hanging his head around on you, he needs the answer,"

"but, I don't know what we even are!" I yelled at her, getting a bit frustrated. People starts to look at us but then, they walk away and starts their previous activity. 

She look around at first before glaring at me again. "starts searching for what you guys are. it's pretty obvious, honestly,"

I sighed before scratching the back of my head. "we were best of friends, but what are we now. that's what Eren asked me back in Bali,"

"do you know the answer now?" she asks. 

"I...," I let out another sigh before looking at the ground. I have no idea what we are even until this month of summer.
