In Love With an Assassin (LevixEren)

Chapter 10

Levi's POV

I was getting dressed when my alarm went off. The beeping was really annoying but I was putting my shirt on and had to refrain from throwing something at it. After what seemed like a lifetime later I turned the vile thing off. I went through to Eren's room. He was sleeping soundly, hugging a pillow to his chest. I walked over and yanked the blankets off of him. He didn't even stir.

"Eren wake the hell up!" Eren opened one eye, saw me then sat up.

"You seem stressed this morning."

"I'm always stressed before a mission." He stretched.

"Stress isn't good for you. Now please leave while I get changed." I nodded and left. Going downstairs I get the lunches I'd made up yesterday out of the fridge and put them into the car. Now the hard task, waking Hanji. I found them sleeping on the sofa. Shouting never works with Hanji and neither does pulling the covers off. Eren walked in, looked at Hanji and then at me.

"Hanji we have a brand new microscope for you." He said it calmly but the goggled idiot sat bolt upright.

"Where is it? Where's my new microscope?" I turned to Eren.

"Are you magic?" He laughed.

"No, sadly. I didn't think that would work."

"Microscope?" Hanji said hopefully.

"There isn't a microscope Hanji but we do need to get going so hurry up." They looked incredibly upset at the fact they weren't getting a new microscope.

"Fine. Am I driving?"

"Yes." I led Eren to the car. He got in the back and patted the seat next to him. Despite my better judgement I sat down next to him. We both got belted in and waited for Hanji. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. A few minutes later Eren put his arm round my waist and pulled me close to him. Seconds later Hanji got in. They were babbling when they opened the door then just abruptly stopped. I didn't care though I was relaxed. Which is something I've never been before a mission.

"It'll be good for him to get some rest. He'll have been up practically all night."

"All night? How come?"

"That's to do with his past. He'll tell you when he's ready."

"How bad was his past Hanji? On a scale of one to ten."

"I'd give it a twenty, though I don't know the full story. Levi would probably give it a hundred." Eren's grip tightened, but he didn't press on the matter. He was likely thinking up different scenarios but no matter what he comes up with, it won't come close to the horrors of my past. "Eren you don't mind if I put music on do you?"

"No I don't." Moments later the opening to a nightcore song started playing. Eren squealed. "You like nightcore?"

"Of course. It's amazing!" I cuddled closer to Eren and looked up at him.

"You look like you want something?" He wasn't wrong. I wanted him to stroke my head again, but I didn't want to ask. "Oh I know." Yes! Thank you smart child. Eren had twigged to what I wanted and began to stroke my head. I closed my eyes again.

"He's lucky to have you Eren."

"No I'm lucky because he doesn't hate me for what I did and hasn't tried to leave." They both went silent.

"I knew it. Now you've started to care for him you feel guilty for kidnapping him, don't you?"

"But Levi didn't kidnap me. He says he did but he didn't." I opened my eyes. He's kidding right. I had a gun to his head. I tied him up and I took him to my house that just so happens to be in the middle of a forest.
