In Love With an Assassin (LevixEren)

Chapter 7

Levi's POV

I felt warm. The last thing I remember is Erwin and Eren embarrassing me then running upstairs to my room. I must've fallen asleep. Opening my eyes I discover that I'm curled up against Eren's chest and his arms are wrapped around my waist, again. He was asleep so, thinking his grip would be lose, I tried to stand up. His grip however seems to be just as strong when he's sleeping so I can't get up yet.

Sighing I stopped trying and cuddled back against his chest, at least I'm warm. I felt his grip tighten and he pulled me as close as he could. I feel, strange, whenever he does this. Even though this is only the second time it's happened. I get the same feeling when he strokes my head. Is it, safety?

I looked up to see his eyes were open, but he still looked tired. He probably only just woke up. His eyes met mine and he smiled. He was really cute.

"Hey Levi." His voice was husky from having just woke up. He just went from cute to hot. Shut up inner thoughts. Wait a minute I locked my bedroom door when I ran up the stairs.

"Hey, how did you get into my room?" He looked confused as he thought for a moment before blushing.

"I picked the lock with a paperclip." He smiled bashfully.

"How and why did you do that?" Honestly I don't know what to think anymore. This boy is a complete mystery.

"My sister is sometimes so tired when she gets back from nightshift that she forgets I haven't come home yet so I learned how to pick a lock. In this case I did it because I wanted to see you."

"Oh god now I'm not safe even in my room." I hid my face in his chest. He chuckled.

"There's no escaping me!" I turned round so my back was against his chest and tried to get out of his grip. Eren only chuckled at my efforts that proved to be fruitless. I stopped struggling.

"Eren please let me go."

"I don't think I will." My eyes went wide slightly.

"W-Why not?"

"I managed to capture a dangerous assassin, why would I let you go?" I could tell be his tone that he was being cheeky. So I decided to play along.

"Fine, I surrender."

"Well done. You made the right choice." Eren stood up but I stayed where I was. "Sit up." I did as he said. Weirdly, I find myself enjoying our little game. He then grabbed my wrist and pulled me up. Eren walked to the door (leaving me where I was) unlocked it and came back over to me. Eren took hold of my wrist again and dragged me out of my room.

"You go down the stairs first."

"Why?" I was a bit confused.

"Can't have you pushing me down the stairs or stabbing me in the back, can I?"

"Fair enough." He was smart that's for sure. I went down the stairs first but he never once let go of my wrist. Once we got to the bottom he pulled me into the dining room. I saw Erwin sitting at the table and I heard a noise from the kitchen.

"There you two are. I was about to send Hanji to look for you both."

"Yep here we are." Eren chirped. Erwin's eyes travelled down to Eren's hand that held my wrist.

"So, what's going on here?" He made eye contact with me and I lowered my head. I subconsciously took a step closer to Eren.

"I 'captured' a dangerous assassin." Eren said with mock seriousness.
