Behind the Elevator Doors [Riren/Ereri]

Chapter 21

Eren's P.o.v

I woke up with instant pain shooting in my back. No regrets. I sat up slowly and looked to my right to find a bottle of Advil and a glass of water. I smiled and take the Advil. I got up and walked to Levi's dresser and open my drawer to get a pair of boxers and sweat pants. I slip them on and walk downstairs. 

I saw Levi in the kitchen by the tea brewer, wearing his plaid pajama pants that hang loosely on his hips. So god damn sexy. 

I walked over, wincing. I wrapped my arms around Levi and laid my head on his shoulder. Levi doesn't really move and just looked over. I may not see his face, but I can definitely hear the smirk on his face. 

He turned around wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. I smiled and lean my head to his as we both share a chaste kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, but then move one of them two move the few strands of hair from his eyes. 

Then, the doorbell went off and I instantly remembered something. Levi's birthday is next week and that must be his gifts. "I'll get it!" I blurted and speed walk to the door because it hurts like a bitch to run.

I opened the door with a smile and quickly signed the paper. I took in both of the packages and walked to the stairs. "What is that for?" Levi asked peeking at the stairs from the kitchen. 

"Gifts for Mikasa." I replied. Technically it was kinda true because I did get gifts for Mikasa, but they already came. Levi's smirk faded a little which broke my heart. I never liked to lie. I walked to our bedroom and check the boxes. I got Levi two things. I got Levi a new brewer, better than the one he has now and I also got him a special tie. 

I put them by my bag to wrap them later. I was about to walk back downstairs when Levi came upstairs and started to put on his work clothes. I mentally faced palm myself forgetting it's Friday. 

He walked into the bathroom and started to brush his teeth. I walk in with him and do the same Once I'm finished I lean against the counter and watch Levi tie his tie and comb his hair. Did I ever mention I love his undercut?

He looked at me from the mirror and looked back at himself. "What are you looking at?" He asked not in a harsh tone but his normal voice that sounds like he's about to kick your ass.

"Looking at something extremely sexy that I might have to keep to myself for the day." I replied, biting my lip. His face relaxed and then he smirked. "Oh?" He asked in a seductive way. He walked to me and grabbed my chin with his two fingers. 

"Well you'll have to resist." He said and planted a kiss on my lips. With that he walked into the bedroom. "I'll see you after work." He said while he grabbed his keys and started towards the door. He turned around and gave me a soft smile.

"I love you." I smiled and sat on the bed. "I love you too, Levi." I said. His smile turned into a smirk. "Don't play with yourself today, or I'll punish you." He said bluntly and closed the door. I blushed furiously. Thanks Levi.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I taped the last bit of wrapping paper on Levi's gift and look at the clock. One more hour. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen to make dinner for Levi. Oh Levi. I don't know what I'd do without you. You've been there for me all this time and never left my side. 

I hope that we will stay with each other forever. I was boiling the pasta when my phone rang. I picked it up.

"This is Eren." I said in my normal professional way since I have a job. The one I've been missing. "Hey Eren." It was Mikasa. I smiled and stirred the sauce I was making. "Hey Mika, how have you been?" I said into the phone. Mikasa sighed. Uh oh. I put on my defensive brother side. "Alright what's going on?" I said furrowing my brows while stirring a bit harshly. She sighed again. "I've got it bad." 

My defensive brother side vanished as I heard her say those words. "What?" I asked confused. She hesitated but then finally spoke. "I like someone... No love someone." I gasped in delight knowing that Mikasa has never had a crush. I thought she was asexual, but didn't want to assume. 

"Mikasa that's great! Why do you sound so disappointed?" I asked again because she did sound like it was a bad thing. "Because I don't know what to do. What if that person doesn't feel the same way?" She said sadly on the other line. I smiled softly. "You never know unless you try."

With that I can feel her smile. "Now do I get to know who this person is?" I asked slightly showing my excitement. She groaned. "Nope." And I frowned. "Awww." I replied. She chuckled. "Thanks Eren. How's your shoulder doing?" She asked changing the subject. 

"It's fine, the pain is going away the more I walk around." I said as I poured the pasta and sauce on two plates. I looked at the clock on the wall. 

"Hey I gotta go. You're still coming for the Christmas party?" I asked. "Yep. Love you." She replied quickly. I told her I loved her back and hung up. Yep, there's gonna be a party. And Levi doesn't know shit about it. I smirked at the thought. I take the plates outside onto the balcony and lit a candle as to the lights on the balcony suck. 

I heard the door open and close so I rush back inside. Levi set's his keys on the kitchen counter. I walked up to him and hugged him. He hugged back. "How was work?" I asked still holding him in my arms. He groaned and hugged me a bit tighter. I know how this night will go.

I lead him to the balcony and his face relaxed at the sight of us eating together while staring at the stars. He took a seat as I took mine and we both dug in. Because, of course, I make the best pasta.

He took a bite, humming happily. I smiled and also took a bite. "How was your day?" Levi asked and I just shrugged, trying not to wince. "Boring mostly. And no, I didn't jerk off." I smirked while swirling my pasta around. He chuckled and took another bite. 

We both eat our pasta talking about a lot of things like what places we've been to. Where we were born at. I never knew Levi was born in France. I was born in Germany, but somehow we both ended up in the United States. 

We both finished and I took in our plates and washed them, putting them into the dishwasher. I watched Levi as he came downstairs in a T-shirt and pajama pants. I take my seat on the couch and opened my arms for Levi to come with with me. I grabbed some ice cream. 

Levi smiled softly and sat in my lap, his head in the crook of my neck. I hummed happily and we both watched TV. We both ate ice cream. Well mainly me, I gave him bites and all, but I kinda hogged it. Sometimes I'd playfully "spill" the ice cream

After a while, I started to drift asleep when I heard Levi get up. I looked at the clock. It's late. He turned off the TV and turned around. He scooped me in his arms and carried me to our room. This is exactly why I love Levi. We arrived in my bedroom and Levi gently placed me on my side of the bed.

Levi turned off the lamp on his night stand and got in the bed with me, pulling the covers over ourselves. He scooted towards me. I scooted to him and laid my head on his bare chest, knowing that he always takes off his shirt while sleeping. I wrapped my arm around his chest and exhaled. He played with my hair, knowing that I love it when he runs his hands through my hair. I slowly drift asleep.

I wonder how I arrived here. Oh, I remember. That damn elevator.
