Covered Eyes (No Name Levi X Eren)

Chapter 23 ~ Vivid Visions

Alright lovelies, this has been one of my favorite chapters to write and I hope you enjoy it.

Hanji releases the male as their phone starts to ring, the Nyan Cat theme song echos off every surface as they desperately try to find which pocket of their cargo pants they slipped the damn thing into. When the glowing device is finally found, they answer it.

“Hello?” The voice on the other side is loud enough that I can hear most of what they're saying.

“Where are you? We told you that your new guitar was- ing here today!”

“Crap… totally spaced that!” Hanji rubbed their temples. “I'll be there in like, thirty minutes.”

“Fine. See you then.”

Hanji looks to me, then smiles and hangs up the phone. “So… I am… uh… gonna go, but I'll leave my computer here, oh and Eren's stitches need to be pulled out and I would suggest you do it about an hour or two before bed. I probably won't be back till tomorrow.”

They frantically search their bag for the supplies I'll need for the removal of the stitches.

“What happened?” Eren asks, watching the eyesight impaired brunette check to make sure everything they needed was on them.

“Shipment of equipment came in and I wasn't there, so we've got issues now.” They sigh heavily.

The front door slams shut as Hanji disappears into their Jeep and drives off.

I run a hand through my hair as I walk back to where Eren sits.

He bites his lip as I stop in front of him.

“You okay Brat?” I ask, stepping closer to him in case he needs help.

“I… I didn't mean it…” He takes a breath. “What I said. I don't hate you, I…” He stops himself again and leans his head on my shoulder. “What's wrong with me?”

“Nothing, you're acting just how you're supposed to in this situation. You're fine Jaeger.” I softly answer, running my hand through his chocolate brown hair.

“I don't feel fine. I'm so confused and scared and I feel so helpless.” He starts rambling and pulls away from me so we're looking at each other. “Not to mention I keep thinking that if I had just died everything would be easier…”

I shake my head, disagreeing with his last statement. “Don't even think that.”

“But it’s true. Not to mention all of the trouble I've caused. And in the middle of all that bullshit, this one thing keeps running through my head-”

Suddenly his lips are against mine (I swear I didn't do it). They're warm and soft and I literally can't tell if gravity is working at all. My mind spins in circles. I… I know these lips, I've felt his quick breath against my skin before. Hell, even the timid yet demanding movement is familiar. But there's more to it…

I remember… blue and white wings that once decorated his shoulders… our shoulders.

The vision drips away as I realize the warmth is gone and I focus back on a blushing Eren, covering his mouth.

Shit… I never made any movement back, I just stood there like a fucking idiot… way to go Levi!

“Brat-”

“L-levi! I-i I'm so sorry… I didn't…. I wasn't-”

His lips are against mine again, this time, yes… I did it. I softly but passionately kiss him, as if years have passed since we last embraced.

But… years had passed… hadn't it? At least every part of me felt that way.

He had that same fire, that same determination before, in a different situation.

Eren moves his lips against mine, perfectly in sync, like he knows exactly how I kiss. There's a sense of longing I feel from him. I break from him when my lungs beg for the sweet taste of oxygen.

Eren blushes, “I… I didn't think you… liked me… like that.” He tilts his head to his chest as he touches his lips.

I push his head up to mine, looking him in the eyes. Eren Jaeger… what the fuck am I doing… how did you manage to become, so important? “There you go again, not thinking.” I tease.

He giggles slightly and leans into my chest again. We both wrap our arms around the other, and I catch a glimpse of the bracelet on my wrist.

Blue and white. Hope, and strength. At least, that's what those patches meant… right? Or am I making it up? What the fuck did I see? Or remember or whatever?

My head is spinning like a top, my thoughts are going around and around, orbiting around Eren.

Eren grips my shirt, bringing us closer. “Thank you, for everything.” He softly says. I softly kiss his head as a ‘you're welcome’ and rest my head against his.
