Levi's PoV

A few days after everyone got settled into the hotel, and Petra ran off to the pool, I decided to send Erwin and Eren down to clean the tour bus.

"Right now?" Erwin asks. "I was thinking about going and getting some coffee, but okay."

"Oi, brat," I say, getting the younger boys attention, "go with Erwin and help clean the bus."

"Okay, Levi. I'm on it!"

"Just remember that I'll be down in an hour or so to check your progress. I won't hesitate to make you re-clean things, either."

They both nod and practically march out of the room.

I roll my eyes, just two dumb people too excited about cleaning.

I sit down on the bed, and pull my phone out for the first time all day.

Man, I sure do have a lot of missed calls. No one really calls me anymore... All of my calls are directed to Hanji's business phone if I'm needed. But... something here is different.

I open up my voice mail, and type my pass code in.

"You have 30 new voice mails," my phone says plainly, as if that's nothing new.

"How many?!" I exclaim, shocked that someone left 30 messages.

I press a button on my phone to play the first message.

"Hey..." comes a familiar voice. "Levi... Wow... What do I even say... Where do I begin?"

The first message is over, and the second one plays. Complete silence takes over my phone, except for the sound of very faint crying.

The second message is over, and soon enough, I managed to listen to all of the messages except the last one.

"Levi... This is Eld... It's been a while... I'm sorry about all of the previous messages... It's just that I didn't know what to say... but now I do... I want to talk to you again... Levi, I miss you... So please... give me a call when you get the chance... I know..." More crying cuts him off. "I know this is hard..."

The message finishes, and I stare at my phone, tears welling up in my eyes. He wants to talk to me? Seriously? After all of this time...

I wonder what happened? Maybe his boyfriend broke up with him. Maybe he is being true and really does miss me. Either way, I have a boyfriend, and I don't think I could allow him to come back.

If I do call him back though, I can't let Eren catch me. It won't be very pretty on my end. I sigh, and look at the clock. Almost noon.

I roll over on the bed. I guess I will give him a call in a bit...

Erwin's PoV

"Erwin! Stop that... It feels funny..."

I laugh and stop tickling Eren with the feather duster I had found. "Fine," I say, being sure to drag the word out.

We had been messing around a little, and Eren was telling me stories of his adopted sister Mikasa, but we already cleaned half of the bus, so we deserved the break.
