Levi's POV (wiggles eyebrows)

Brat, we need to talk.

I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Why are you making me do this?" I mumbled, looking up at Hanji. Oh, and Erwin and Petra. They're here too.

"Because you're seriously boy crazy." Petra said, crossing her arms.

"Okay, don't you think you're being a bit dramatic?"

"No, Levi," Hanji sighed. "We don't think we're being dramatic, seeing as you've been thinking about him from the moment you met him and he's the only thing you ever talk about."

"Okay, I get it."

"But we need you to tell him you like him."

"I don't like him! He's a guy, plus-"

"Levi." Petra interrupted. "Eren Jäger is gay. It says so on his YouTube channel trailer."

"I..."

"Boom, fuck you!" Hanji chanted, sticking a finger in my face. I grabbed it, and sent her the deadliest glare I could manage, silently threatening to tear her finger off. She quickly retracted it, rubbing it. I sighed, and turned back to the screen. 

Uh, about what?

"Well, what now?" I asked. Petra reached around me, and before I could stop her, typed a message and pressed the enter key.

Us. 

"That's not suggesting or anything." I sighed, resting my chin on the desk. 

"Levi, sweetie, it's supposed to be suggestive." Petra said, placing a hand on my shoulder. I immediately shrugged it off. 

I don't know why, but ever since I turned sixteen (which was like, 22 years ago) a womans touch has made me uncomfortable. I've never, ever told anyone, but I'm gay. I've known ever since my first girlfriend kissed me. It felt really, really gross.

What "us"?

I replied immediately before anyone else could.

You know exactly what I mean. 

No I don't, that's why I'm asking.

Erwin reached around me and typed in a message.

I've been talking to Armin lately, you see, and he's told me some things.

"What the hell? So we're just going to pry it out of him with lies?" I growled.

"It's the only way." he replied, keeping level-headed. 

"So, Levi, why did you friend request him in the first place?" asked Hanji, sitting down on the floor. Petra and Erwin took their seats on the couch behind me. 

"Armin kept going on and on about him. After a while I started wondering if he was telling the truth or exaggerating."

"And which one was he doing?"

"Most definitely telling the truth."

I heard the bubble noise, indicating that the brat had replied. My eyes widened as I read over the message at least ten times.

I really like you, Levi.

"OOH!" Hanji and Petra cooed, putting their hands on my shoulders. I made no attempt to shrug their shoulders off. In fact, I didn't notice their hands.

He likes me.

He likes me.

He's the only one who's ever-

No, let's not thing about that.

He likes me.

Keep it cool, Levi.

"Levi!" I snapped out of my daydream to see, or, feel, Petra, shaking me.

"Levi, he's responded like, three times! Say something, now!"

Hello?

Are you still there? 

Heichou?

Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?

Fucking shit.

I typed a reply as fast as my hands could move.  

I like you too.

I sighed, and leaned back.

"So, what now?" I asked, closing my eyes.

"Now you're on your own." Hanji said, and they all made a hasty retreat out my door.

As soon as the door shut, I did something that I'd never done before.

I smiled.
