A Lifetime Friendship (ErenxLevi)

Chapter 10: Memory Gain

Woohoo, chapter update!!! I got several comments on the last chapter, so I posted this as soon as I could!!!
------------------------------------------

When Eren awoke, the first thing that registered was the hard throbbing in his head. The bright lights that streamed through the curtains didn't help him much at all, either. He let out a pained groan, before he felt his stomach bubble in uncomfortableness. Shit, he was going to be sick.

He tried to sit up, but a heavy weight on top of him prevented him from doing so. Opening his eyes, he turned to see Levi passed out on top of him, still deep in an alcohol-induced slumber. He moved his arm up to push at Levi's shoulder. "Wake up, Levi."

No answer from the body on top of him.

"Levi."

This time, Levi's head rolled slightly, as he let out his own grunt.

"Levi, get up."

Levi made a detesting noise.

"Levi," Eren's voice was becoming desperate, his stomach not settling in the slightest. "Move, I'm gonna be sick."

Levi shifted slightly, but didn't make any moves to get off of the hung over brunet. This only upset Eren's stomach even more.

"Levi, I swear, I'm going to puke all over you."

That got the raven's attention. Grey eyes shot open, before he quickly rolled off of Eren into the wall in means to get away. Eren took the opportunity and shot up out of the bed, running down the hallway into the bathroom, where he proceeded to empty his gut of everything he had consumed the day before. After several moments of resting his heated head on the cold porcelain of the toilet, he noticed that his shirt was removed from his body. He shrugged, figuring he just got too hot in the night, as he couldn't recall anything for the life of him.

The sound of footsteps caught his attention, and the sound of soft knuckles rapping on the door to the bathroom caused his head to lift, a ripple of pain pounding through his head as he groaned.

Levi opened the door, a glass of water in one hand and a couple of pain killers in the other. He said nothing as Eren gratefully took both items, opting to sit on the tiled floor beside the brunet.

After downing the pills and emptying the glass of its contents, dulled turquoise eyes flittered over to the raven. He noted how Levi also didn't have a shirt on, but mentally shrugged, guessing he got hot as well. One thing he also noticed, was that Levi was not looking at him at all. This aroused suspicion within him.

After the silence stretched on for several minutes, Levi spoke up. "How much of last night do you remember?" His voice wasn't above a murmur, almost hesitant in speaking.

'Shit, what the hell did I do?' Eren began to inwardly panic, heart hammering in his chest as he broke out in a cold sweat, but he kept his emotions in check. "Not a minute of it... Did something happen?" His voice was calm, despite what he felt running through his head.

Levi fell silent again, pulling his knees to his chest and wrapping his arms around himself, almost as if he was trying to hide himself. "I think I did something... Something I don't know w-why I did."

Holy hell, did Levi just stutter? Eren's worry only turned into fear, his pounding heartbeat sounding heavily in his ears. This was not good if Levi was stuttering. "Do... Do you remember what it was?"

Levi pulled his bottom lip between his teeth, gnawing on it nervously. "Yeah... I remember."

Eren tried so hard to think, but his emotions were bouncing off of his pained brain, and he couldn't remember. Jesus, why did he drink so much? Why did he even have to pull out those bottles? Shit, not only that, but there was no way from him to replace those bottles in hope of his parents not finding out, so when they got home, he would get a beating of his life. He groaned in frustration. "What happened last night?"

Levi sat there, staring at the cool ties of the bathroom floor, before shaking his head and standing. "I need to get home," he murmured.

Eren quickly shot up, grabbing Levi's arm before he could get away. "Wait a minute, your parents aren't even home yet, and won't be until tomorrow evening. You can't go home."

Levi tried to pull his arm away, but he was too weakened in his hung over state. "Then I'll find somewhere else to stay. Maybe at Hanji's house..."

"Levi," Eren stated firmly, stepping in front of the raven to block him from getting any further down the hall. "Wait just a moment, what happened that was so bad that you're trying to leave me?" His hardened glare became softer with worry. "Why are you trying to avoid me now?"

Levi swallowed nervously, his gaze moving from Eren. How was he going to tell his friend something like that. He wanted to blame it on the alcohol, but when one gets drunk, that's when the truth comes out. Taking in a shaky breath, he acted before thinking, and pressed his lips to Eren's once more.

Eren stood there, eyes widened with shock, lips tingling with the feeling of Levi's chilled lips on his own warm ones. Before he could gather up his wits enough to reciprocate, Levi pulled back, stepping back several paces and hiding his face from Eren. Suddenly, Eren remembered everything.

Levi pulled back from Eren, looking down into those wide turquoise eyes, his own grey ones glittering in the moonlight. A smile spread across his face, leaning down and pressing a small kiss to the brunet's flushed cheek.

"It took you long enough to say something," he murmured in Eren's ear, gently biting on his ear lobe. This earned a small moan from the body beneath him, and he let out a small chuckle against the red-tipped ear. "I love you too, Eren. More than a best friend should."

Eren stared up at the raven, cheeks flushed a deep red, before his arms wrapped around Levi's neck, pulling him down into another kiss, which Levi immediately reciprocated without hesitation.

"Since when...?" Eren inquired breathlessly when they pulled away.

"About a month or so after Petra's birthday," Levi answered, a small blush spreading across his cheeks. "So, about the time you started to avoid me."

Eren couldn't help but let out a chuckle, pulling Levi's body flush against his own. He pressed small butterfly kisses to the raven's cheeks, then applying some to his jawline, giving occasional nips and gently sucking here and there, not hard enough to mark, though.

Levi let out soft moans from the brunet's actions, before dipping his head down and doing the same to Eren's neck, kissing along the veins and placing a few underneath his jaw as well, drawing breathy moans from the body beneath him.

Hands began to slide along torsos, getting a small feel before venturing underneath each other's shirts with small, tentative touches, all while lips ravaged each other, tongue slipping between parted lips and dancing in the night, light smacking sounds filling the silent air as lips clashed together almost feverishly. Shirts were soon discarded on the floor, fingertips roaming everywhere they could.

The little rendezvous of touches and lips soon slowed as sleep began to take over the two boys, eyes closing and soon falling into a slumber, partially naked bodies warm against one another.

Eren blinked, looking up at Levi. "Wait," he called out, quickly catching up to the raven, grabbing his shoulders before he could slip any deeper into the house. "Did you really mean that?"

Levi didn't look up at him, refusing to meet Eren's eyes. He continued to stay silent, only after several moments did he give a subtle nod of his head.

Eren's heart nearly leapt out of his chest in happiness, a broad smile cracking over his face as he pulled the raven into a tight hug, refusing the let him go. "I meant what I said, as well. Every bit of it, I meant it all."

Levi lifted his head, wide grey orbs catching excited turquoise, before a smile of his own broke out over his face. He reached up again, pulling Eren down to his level and once again kissed him. This time, Eren kissed him back with a smile.
