Wings [LevixEren]

Pick Up Lines

*Eren's POV*

"Seriously Hanji??" Eren raises an eyebrow.

"YES I'M SERIOUS YOU LITTLE MUFFIN!!" Hanji reaches over to lightly punch Eren in the shoulder.

"But... why?"

Hanji lets out an exasperated sigh. "It's for experimentation!! Just to see how he responds to them!!"

She hands Eren a sheet of paper. "Here's the list of dialogue examples."

As Eren examines the list, he notices Hanji drooling in his peripheral vision.

"Why do I have to say these embarassing things?? What even are they??" Eren pouts.

"They're called pick-up lines, Eren!! You have to do it!! That's an order from your superior!" She makes a salute and pushes up her glasses. A sly grin appears on her face. "Besides, wouldn't it be cute to see him all flustered?? Blushing like crazy? Covering his face? Sweat particles forming on his forehead? Adjusting his jacket from the heat? Maybe even taking off his pa-"

"GAHHHHHH OKAY!!! I'm gonna go now! BYE!" Eren rushes out of the room as quickly as possible. He makes it all the way back to the cabin before he realizes he still has the paper in hand.

Looking over it, he thinks about what Hanji said. It would be cute to see how Levi reacts to these. A smirk crosses over his face. He might as well give some a try... just for experimentation.

*Levi's POV*

Stupid brats. How hard is it to stay clean??

Levi is alone in the mess hall, cleaning up after the cadets. He never gets a break around here. He was up all night planning a mission and now he's stuck cleaning after a bunch of pre-pubescent dweebs who can't tell their face from their butt. As he wipes the table, he spots a chewed up piece of meat that was spit out. He makes a gagging motion.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Eren enter the room.

"Ah, Eren! Finally someone with a sense of cleanliness. Who left this here? Was it horse-face?"

"Hmmm, probably." Eren responds, eyeing the mess left after lunch.

"Help me with some of this gunk or I'll be here until next week." He tosses a rag to Eren and continues to wipe off the table. He blinks the sleepiness from his eyes and supresses a yawn, but Eren still notices.

"You tired?" Eren asks.

"Of course not! This is just the body's natural response to pulling two all-nighters in a row!"

Eren laughs. "You sound like Hanji!"

"I do not." Levi glares at Eren.

Eren chuckles. "Yeah, you definitely need some rest. Being so pretty must be exhausting."

Huh?? This guy!

"Tch. That's stupid." Levi plays it off, but he can't help but hide the slight blush from his face.

*Later that day*

Levi is walking back to his office when he realizes Eren walking behind him, most likely headed to the other squad members. Levi turns the corner and notices Eren still trailing.

Hmm, where could he be off to? The squad is the opposite way.

Levi makes another turn and Eren follows suit. To test the waters, Levi makes a complete turn-around to see what Eren will do.

He did the same!

"Oi, Eren why are you following me?" Levi calls, turning his head around.

"Well, my father always said to follow my dream." Eren replies without missing a beat.

That brat! What is it with him today??

"Tch." Levi speeds up his walking pace, hoping Eren didn't catch sight of his flustered face.

*During Dinner*

Levi and Eren have decided to eat together in his office. It's been a while since they've gotten to spend quality time together and frankly, Levi needs something to ease his stress.

Eren settles down on the nearby table while Levi sits at his desk. He watches Eren start to dig at his meal while he himself has some freshly made tea. Levi notices an annoying crumb on the corner of Eren's mouth which he can't get his eyes off of. With his mind distracted, he reaches for the teacup.

He lets out a small wince and quickly pulls his hand away from the cup, which is burning hot.

"Tch." He says, examining his slightly red fingertips.

"Did it hurt?" Eren asks with a worried expression.

Levi is about to respond when he stops himself.

No. This is a trap.

Eren is pretending like he's concerned, but no. He has been pulling these cheesy lines all day and this is just another setup. Yes, Eren won't win this time.

Levi tries to think of all possible things Eren could say to him. He recalls Hanji talking about pickup lines. This one seems familiar. "Did it hurt?" It probably went something like...

"Let me guess, when I fell from heaven?" Levi questions, raising an eyebrow. He smirks to himself.

Got you.

Eren simply cocks his head to the side.

"No." He replies innocently.

This throws Levi off guard.

This is new. What else could it be?

"What?" Levi questions.

Eren grins slyly. "Did it hurt when you fell for me."

YEEEETTT!!! EREN YOU SMOOTH LITTLE PEANUT. I hope you liked this one! Sorry for the wait again!! More will come! Chuuuuu~😘
