y'all, it's been a while, and I am very very sorry.

-Eren's POV-

We dropped everyone off at their houses, and Levi and I headed over to mine. When we got inside we very quickly got under the comforters on my bed, not worrying about changing or showering. We were exhausted and ready to sleep. Naturally we cuddled together a bit. I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened, and I feel like shit about it too. I bet Devin and Fritz weren't even ready to come out. We could've just made hell for them. I guess they said they were okay with it, but I still feel like we really should've been more careful. I decided to shoot Devin a text.

Eren: I'm really really sorry. Levi and I probably ruined your night, and your fun. It was totally not cool for us to do that, you should've come out to Connie when you were ready but instead we decided for you. It makes sense if you hate us forever, I wouldn't blame you. Blame us if the school turns against you, and blame us if people start calling you names and treating you like crap. Once again I'm sorry, have a good night.

Devin: no Eren, dw about it. Honestly I'm glad that happened. I felt like we needed to contribute to this whole thing a bit more, and I guess that was the way to do it. Fritz is still a little pissed, but you know him. He gets over things easily. You have a good night too.

I'm relieved that they aren't that mad. They really have every right to be. Since we weren't really talking, I realized how distracted I've been by this recently. I've been so distracted that I realized Mikasa hasn't called me, or texted me a single time since she left. My stomach dropped, and I was overwhelmed with sadness. I can't remember the last time she ignored me for more than one day.

I let out a cracked-cry sort of squeak from my throat, which made Levi immediately avert his eyes from his phone and bring his attention to me.

"What's wrong?"

"Um I just remembered that Mikasa hasn't contacted me at all whatsoever since she was here last week. This has never happened before."

My eyes started to water. This is really not good. I opened my mouth to speak, but I just broke down. The tears started flowing and I was balling my eyes out. Levi instantly pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I just- I can't tell if she's ignoring me because she's still in shock, and is figuring out what to say, or if she fucking hates me now and doesn't want to speak to me anymore. I don't even know what to think. We are so close. SO CLOSE LEVI. I'm so scared."

"You know what Eren, I don't have any comforting words for you. Any of those things you said could be correct. You have every right to be scared. It's good for you to cry. Just let it all out now. Maybe tomorrow you can call her, or you can wait it out and see if she ever calls you to texts you in the next few days."

My tears were coating Levi's arms and my cheeks.

"I just don't understand what's wrong. If she doesn't want to talk to me anymore because I'm gay, what the hell do I do? I want to talk to her so badly, she's my god damn sister! How can she just suddenly stop talking to me one day! Does she not even frigging love me anymore?"

"Eren stop. She still loves you. There is absolutely no way your sister can drop her love for you, Eren Jaeger. I bet she's still processing. That's the best thing you can hope for right now."

"But Levi you don't understand! Every time before she'd end the call she'd say 'I love you Eren, you better remember that. I'll tell you that everyday for the rest of my life. Even on my death bed I'll give you the rest of the love in my crippling body. I'll talk to you tomorrow, love you.' She was so fucking instant on saying it everytime! She said that every single day, and now she hasn't said it once. She said she'll always love me, and she'll tell me everyday! She broke her fucking promise to me!"

My crying cut off my voice, and I just started wailing instead of continuing. Levi continued to hold me tight, wiping the boogers from my nose and the tears from my cheeks.

"Don't say that Eren. Your sister has been there your whole life for you. Her love for you will help her overcome your being gay, and if it doesn't then she is a pretty shitty person who doesn't deserve to love you. She couldn't just drop her love for you over one small thing. There is no way you can't love Eren Jaeger, because I sure do. I love Eren fucking Jaeger."

He didn't, he didn't just say that. I must be deaf. Even Levi is getting emotional. Saying something like that, on top of watching me ball my eyes out.

"You love me?"

"Yes I do. I really do. I don't care if we've been dating for less than a week. I've liked you for a year, and I've loved you for a year as well. You are a beautiful, and amazing, and lovable person. I love loving Eren Jaeger."

I cried even more at that. I was ugly sobbing and couldn't control all the fluids coming from my eyes, nose, or mouth. I leaned more into Levi, and said in my whiny, crying voice,

"I love you too."

I wailed more, and we fixed our positions to completely lay down and get ready to sleep. We pulled each other close, and my tears finally started to slow down. I really do love Levi Ackerman. I love loving him. I love what we do. I loved watching him at Hanji's, I loved hearing about him from Hanji. I loved everything I knew about him back then, and now that he's mine I love him even more.

"Eren, you will always be loved. Whether Mikasa does or not, I will always be here. Right here. I will take my burning passion to make you happy, and make sure you know that you are loved."

Levi fell asleep after that, and so did I.

A/N: wow that was very not good. Definitely not pleased with that writing. But oh my god I haven't updated in like 2 months! I'm so sorry like I had been meaning to write something for so long but I have been extremely busy. I really wanted to put something out, so I'm sorry this is shorter than normal. This chapter is about 1000 words and my chapters are normally about 3000-4000. I might update again soon but I feel like the stuff I wanted to dinner wouldn't fit with this chapter very well. Remember- always feel free to hmu I love talking to new people. That's for reading my shit. Until next time
