The Toxic Wasters

13. My Man

-4 years ago-

They were finally home. After a four hour drive they were pulling up in the driveway. Levi let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Eren's home. Well their home.

Levi felt giddy. He would officially be living with Eren soon. He felt a grin split his cheeks, his reflection in the window mirroring him.

Another car sat in front of the house. An abused and rusted Chevrolet. "Armin and Jean must be here," Eren explained as he put the car in park. They weren't sitting in the car. "I hope Armin didn't break anything to get in," Eren sighed as he examined the house for any property damage.

"And to think," Eren leaned in close to Levi, "I was looking forward to putting the mattress to good use."

Levi jumped back and slugged Eren in the shoulder. "Pervert," Levi muttered. The brunet chuckled as he rubbed at his arm. "You wouldn't be saying that if we didn't have company," he explained with a sly smile.

Levi stared at his boyfriend in shock. Although he wasn't wrong. If Jean and Armin weren't somewhere nearby, Levi would've already jumped his boyfriend.

Before Levi could say anything else, Eren was already getting out of the car. Levi followed after, not giving Eren the satisfaction of opening his door. When Eren looked at the raven with sad eyes, Levi smiled and chuckled.

He turned to retrieve their suitcases from the trunk when Eren came up from behind and picked the raven up by the waist. Levi screeched when he felt his feet leave the ground. But once his back was flush with Eren's chest, he couldn't help the smile from spreading across his face.

"I love you so much," Eren said as he pressed a kiss to Levi's shoulder. "You're ridiculous," Levi explained through a laugh.

"Put me down so I can grab my bags."

"I'll carry you and our bags," Eren offered. Nevertheless, he let Levi's feet touch the ground, but didn't let him go. "Say you love me," Eren demanded next to Levi's ear.

"I love you," Levi said dreamily. Eren hummed in thought before he released him. The couple resumed unpacking the trunk of the rented car. But that didn't stop Eren from touching and flirting with the raven.

If this was his way of getting Levi wound up, it was working. He wanted to run inside and race to the bed.

Levi batted at Eren demanding him to stop. "Hot and bothered?" Eren smirked. Another smack to the taller's arm. "Stop pointing it out," Levi complained. He heard Eren laugh beside him as he closed the trunk.

The couple walked towards the door. Warm light filtered through the cracks in the door and the windows. Eren opened the door to find Jean and Armin sitting on his couch, watching tv.

"Hello?"

Armin and Jean turned to acknowledge the couple. "You're home!" Armin exclaimed holding his arms out, but continued sitting.

"I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" Eren questioned as he shut the door behind Levi. Armin instantly pouted. His arms came down to fold over his chest.

"Well excuse me for wanting to make sure my friends returned home safely," he defended. Eren chuckled at his response, taking Levi's bags and setting them to the side.

The raven walked towards the coach to be greeted with open arms. "I'll accept a hug from you," Armin beamed at Levi. He fell into the blond's embrace. Both immediately wrapped their arms around each other in a hug. Although, Armin's hold was tighter. But Levi didn't complain it felt good to sit somewhere comfortable.
