Accidental Arrangements(Erwin x Levi)

Chapter 14

A/N: so just a few quick notes:
• according to the timeline of this fic, Levi broke it off with Erwin on the 15 of December. Rip.
• for all you Americans out there, when Nanaba is making dinner and I reference that she's making KD, that stands for Kraft Dinner which is the Canadian equivalent of Kraft mac n cheese. They are made by the same company and are basically the same thing, they just have different names.
• and I have decided to split the last chapter in two, mostly because this is already 4500 words and the second part of it is already 2000 words so I just decided to split it up
• and I appreciate people being excited for this update because I never thought people would actually like anything that I write but I have been thoroughly proven wrong, so thank you. Now read.(and comment pls)
———————————————————-
Erwin does not function normally for about a week after the breakup. That was his first ever serious relationship and to have it end like that... It sucks.

His heart constantly hurts and the only thing he has to keep him occupied is school and work. School is boring and repetitive but at least it's more engaging than work. At school he doesn't have time to think about anything because he's too busy paying attention to whatever's being taught.

At work, however, the only thing to entertain him is thinking. He cries in the stock room two days after the breakup during his lunch and Eren finds him, which is mortifying and embarrassing.

Eren seats himself beside Erwin on the floor, his arms wrapping around him in what he hopes is a comforting gesture.

"What's wrong?" Eren asks softly.

Erwin's breath hitches and he sniffles before he opens his mouth. "Levi broke up with me."

For once, Eren is silent.

"He just stopped talking to me and he kicked me out of his apartment-" his breath hitches again, "I even bought him a Christmas present!"

"Okay. Did he say anything to you before hand?"

"No! He just stopped answering my texts." Erwin exclaims.

Eren sighs. "That's pretty mean."

"Right?!" Erwin laughs while wiping his eyes, "god, I'm a mess."

Eren seems to roll words around in his head for a moment before deciding on what to say. "Tell you what, I'll buy you some chocolate and maybe some wine and I'll rent you a shitty inspiring movie from the bargain bin. Would that make you feel better?"

Erwin pouts for a minute, silent, before quietly saying, "...Yes."

That night Erwin locks himself in his room and watches Bridget Jones' Diary, of all fucking things. It was either that or Legally Blonde, and although he loves Reese Witherspoon, he's just not in the mood in right now. That, and Bridget was cheaper.

He sits with the box of chocolates and his little DVD player in his lap, which is chugging along playing the commercials before the movie menu pops up. He's eaten half the box already, although some of the chocolates are only half eaten because he took a bite and then realized that he didn't like that kind. Halfway through the movie he goes back and eats the ones he doesn't like anyway.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces."

Erwin stares blankly at his DVD players screen as Bridget says those words. The words register a moment later, and then he realizes how fucking wise she is. That woman was ahead of her time.

He finishes the movie, the chocolate, and three quarters of the bottle of wine and by then he is done. He fishes his phone out of the sheets where it was lost in all of his shifting before he turns it on and stares at Levi's number for a solid ten minutes. The drunk part of his mind takes over and makes him press talk and he clumsily presses the phone to his ear as he hears it ring.
