Covered Eyes (No Name Levi X Eren)

Chapter 11 ~ Spending Money

I couldn't help myself, I had it typed up already and ready to post so why not?

~~

This time it's Eren and me knocking on Hanji’s door. All of us have the “do not disturb” tags to avoid housekeeping. Mike opens the door and let's us in. The Kyojins are already in the room, the two doors connecting their room with this one are wide open.

Hanji has their hair pulled back into a low braid and a non gender specific white band shirt on with blue jeans and dark brown combat boots. Mike has a plain T-shirt on with jeans and boots. The Kyojins have a on a similar outfit to Mike’s. Eren is in the same stuff he slept in (again we're going to get him some clothes right now). I have a black button up shirt folded to my elbows, with black skinny jeans and black, non brand name, tennis shoes. Aviator sunglasses are pulled into my hair and black bracelets decorate my wrists.

Hanji comments on how opposite Eren's and my outfits are before grabbing their phone and wallet. We all leave shortly after and walk to the nearby shopping center. There we split up into our separate groups.

“Eren and I will head into the clothing store while the rest of you get the rest. I'm nearing the end of my Windex and would appreciate it if you got another bottle.” I say as I motion for Eren to follow me.

“Okay Levi!” Hanji exclaims. “we'll see you later!”

Eren waves to the others as he catches up to me. The moment we get in, I get a cart and wipe it down with a wipe as we walk to our destination. The clothes here vary in every way possible. Eren looks to me, almost asking permission to venture into the isles of clothes.

“No budget, get what you like.” I state and follow him in.

At first he's just looking at the clothes, then at the price tags, despite my ‘no budget’ comment. It's not the cheapest store we could've gone to, kinda the reason I chose it.

“If you keep looking at the price, I'll pick out your entire outfit selection from the teenage girls area.” I threaten. He blushes and immediately drops the tag he was about to look at.

“Sorry,” He chuckles.

“I told you to get what you like, I've got enough to buy the store across the street if I wanted too.”

Eren laughs and nods, retracing his steps to a couple of jeans, shirts, and beanies he had looked at before. I watch as he places the items in the cart, noting his expansive taste in style like Hanji and me. After we've gotten him a nice amount of clothes plus some pjs, I move us to the shoes so he can pick out a few pairs.

By the end of the store, I had also gotten him some sunglasses, needed items like a toothbrush and so on, jackets, blankets. I'm summing it up as I pretty much got him whatever he wanted. I never enjoyed spending my money on myself so it had been collecting since we started our career as No Name. We all lived cheaply in general so I wasn't the only one to have a lot of money. Part of it is to not draw attention to ourselves, the other part is just a lack of reason to spend money.

The one thing Eren makes me get myself was another bracelet. He also chooses one for himself. They're simple in design, just a black cord with a feather centerpiece weaved into the thick material. His is white and mine is blue. When I ask him why he wanted us to get them, he shakes his head and refuses to answer. I have no problem with the bracelet so I don't question it anymore, if it makes him feel less alone, then that's fine with me.

The cashier is surprisingly patient with us as we get the items to her. She smiles at us two and make small talk as she scans and bags the stuff. I'm surprised that we didn't make it into the thousands, as Eren nearly faints over the cost. As stated before, I had the money, it was a lot, and it wasn't the cheap stuff either.

“Levi, I can put stuff back,” Eren quickly says.

I swipe my card and get everything finalized before turning back to Eren.

“What were you saying Eren?” I smirk, grabbing the bags and beginning to walk out.

“At least let me carry something!” he pleads.

I had him the small bag the lady gave me for the bracelets.

“Not funny Levi.” Eren pouts.

“It wasn't a joke.” I respond. He glares at me and sighs.

“Thank you for everything,” he gives a small smile, “and don't reject that with some stupid excuse to avoid it.”

“You're welcome, it's my pleasure.”

We walk back to the hotel and drop off the bags, allowing extra time for Eren to get on his new clothes, despite my protests that they needed to be washed. He changes in the corner as I remake the bed.

“Are you actually going to sleep in the bed tonight?” I ask, not looking back.

“Not if you're sleeping on that couch,” he answers.

“Then where am I going to sleep?”

“The bed. It's a queen, big enough for two people.” He comes up behind me and clips on the bracelet.

I look at the blue feather on my wrist, allowing my thoughts to wander. I haven't shared a bed with anyone in at least a couple years. The last time was with Hanji during tour, an experience that left me unrested and annoyed, since they kick, drool and toss in their sleep, not to mention hog the bed and covers. Despite their thin figure and the beds large area, there was just no room for me and I got pushed off more times than I'd like to admit.

“What happened to being worried about what people thought of you?” I ask, trying to figure out his motive.

“No one will know, and I was scared to wake up alone from my nightmare,” he mumbles, hiding behind me.

“Fine brat,” I sigh, pretending to be annoyed.

“Thank you Levi.”

Eren hugs me, freezing my actions. It scares me at first, making me think of less than enjoyable memories from my past, at the same time it made me feel safe, his warmth melting the coldness I show. He released me after a moment and I turn to meet his eyes. He's dressed in a Deadpool tank top with a black and gray flannel over it. His dark jeans and dark combat boots compliment the gray beanie and dark sunglasses.

I flick his nose and finish the bed, folding the covers down.

“What was that for?” he asks, rubbing his nose.

“Ask before you touch,” I sternly state.

“Sorry.” Eren blushes, missing the seriousness of the statement.

It pisses me off that he's not taking it serious, but I make no move to get back at him. I know I'll probably regret that.

“Let's go meet the others.”
