Hello & Goodbye (ereri)

Chapter Three

~Eren's POV~

It was the following morning in the Ackerman's residence. I was honestly too lazy to walk home or tell my parents to pick me up so I asked to sleepover. It was obviously fine, except for the fact that I couldn't wrap my head around the conspiracy of Levi. 

There I laid on Mikasa's floor covered in a warm huddle of blankets trying to at least think rationally. Due to Mikasa's behavior up on her bed, she was most likely still sleeping. Everyone was probably still sleeping since the house was completely silent. Mikasa's dad came home later than expected last night from work, but it wasn't a concern to me clearly. 

My head sank into the pillow as I stared up at the blank and colorless ceiling. The whiteness was a little blinding since the sun's light was reflecting off of it into my eyes. 

"I should probably just relax...it shouldn't be that important if Mikasa didn't say anything," I mumbled to myself, "Fuck. I gotta piss."

Tossing the sheets off of my overheating body, I sluggishly moved to the bathroom to do my business. Mikasa had given me a pair of her sweatpants to borrow for the night since I didn't bring anything. 

The door was open and the restroom was dark. Entering the room, I closed the door, yet not all the way because there was no need. Lowering the hem of my sweats, I whipped it out to use the bathroom really quickly. A few seconds went by before I finished. Flushing the toilet, I walked out into the hallway to be greeted by Levi waiting by the door. 

I was completely shocked at his presence, I even backed up a little. His eyes looked me up and down like he usually does, but stopped at my hands. 

"Wash your hands," he demanded as he pushed me back into the bathroom. 

Stumbling backwards, I regained my balance to give him a dirty look. Rolling my eyes, I turned on the sink to run my hands through.  I heard a scoff before Levi followed me and placed his chest against my back with his arms parallel with mine. 

I felt slightly uncomfortable only because he was right up against my butt. His bare chest was touching my exposed back and it sent chills down my spine.  Although, for what I thought was a sexual encounter, Levi just squirted the hand soap all over my hands. His fingers intertwined with mine aiding me in scrubbing.

At this point I was tired of it, "Hey dude, I know how to fucking wash my hands. Hop of my dick and stop touching me please."

He removed his hands instantly and separated himself from me, "Sorry. I was just helping, fag."

The hell...he's the one acting like a fag.

He left the bathroom without another word. I was dumbfounded. It's like seven in the morning and this boy has the audacity to graze several parts of my body. The water hadn't stopped running and by this time I was just wasting it. 

Turning around, I shook my hands to rid itself of the droplets while I returned to Mikasa's room. Plopping myself back on carpeted floor, I waited as the hours ticked by until my only friend woke up.

Just before noon, I heard the shuffling of covers above me. Mikasa's head popped over to look down at me. 

"Your hair is a mess, you know that?" She spoke sternly, "Also...do you plan on growing it out?"

Twirling a single strand, I glanced up at her, "Like my dad? I don't know yet. I kinda like it short though. Should I grow it out?"

Her face lit up as she tossed herself on the floor with me, "Yes! You definitely should!"

We both bursted out in laughter even though her body was crushing mine. For that moment, I was genuinely happy to be close to Mikasa. Although, after we calmed both, I decided it be best to talk.
