Red Strings Of Fate.

Chapter 3

The very next day, which was a Saturday, Eren decided to have breakfast at that very coffee shop he went yesterday. He got changed into a pair of black skinny jeans, which hugged his legs very well indeed, and a white v-neck that exposed some of his collarbones. Eren took one last look in the mirror, did a twirl, grabbed his wallet and keys and headed out.

He didn't feel better than he was yesterday but he decided to push all disturbing thoughts away for a moment. Then he remembered Levi. Eren cracked a small smile. Levi was actually quite nice, really sarcastic, attractive- Wait what? Eren stopped on his tracks. Did he just called some stranger he only met yesterday attractive? Eren shook his head.

Keep it together Eren. Eren took a deep breath and let it out. He didn't understand why he was suddenly feeling so nervous about going into a coffee shop. A few more steps and he was outside already. He was slightly hoping Levi won't be there. He opened the door and once again, the strong aroma of delicious coffee hit him.

The door hit against a small bell on top and it rang. Eren saw Levi standing at the counter wiping some cups. Oh shit. He saw Levi looking at the door with an annoyed expression. Levi's expression changed back to his usual cant-be-bothered-face when he saw Eren. "Oh hey brat its you." Eren rolled his eyes. "I told you to stop calling me that. And is that how you look at a customer the moment they walk in?"

Levi glared at Eren. "I'll do what I want brat. Now sit and I'll give you the menu. That is if you are planning on eating here instead of ordering take away." Eren made his way to a table. He noticed that he was the only one in the shop. "I'm staying don't worry." Levi scoffed before taking a booklet and a paper to take down Eren's order.

Levi placed the menu infront of Eren and walked back to the counter. "Tell me when you're ready to order." Eren just nodded. He opened the booklet and scanned through the food. Levi stared at Eren for a moment. Eren had really nice brown hair, extremely teal green eyes and his body was actually quite good. A little definition, but not too buff either. And what Eren wore really made him hitch his breath. Who the hell wears super skinny jeans just to have breakfast? Not that I'm complaining or anything but still.

"Okay I'm ready to order Levi." That made Levi snap out of his trance and he walked over to the table. "So what will it be?" Eren said his order and Levi took it down. "It'll be ready in about 15 minutes brat." Eren side-eyed Levi. "I'm not a brat." Eren mumbled. Levi just let out a small laugh. "Yes you are a brat, brat."

Levi walked into the kitchen and starting cooking. And true to his word, he was done within 15 minutes. Levi came back with a plate of steaming hot pancakes and bacon with some chilled mango fruit juice. Eren widen his eyes and smiled happily. Eren quickly dug into his food. It was fucking delicious. "Oh my god Levi you're a great cook this is great!" "Tsk don't underestimate my cooking skills brat."

Levi suddenly made his way to Eren's table and plopped down at the seat infront of Eren. He looked at Levi in confusion. "Uh yes?" Levi leaned back and folded his arms. "Nothing. Continue eating. I get bored at the back there." Eren slowly went back to his food. Levi just stared at Eren. Suddenly Levi groaned. "What happened?" Eren asked.

"You are a really messy eater. What are you, 5? Eat properly please Eren." Eren suddenly realized he had food all over his mouth and around his plate. He was about to wipe his mouth when he felt a napkin harshly swiped over his face. "Ugh I can't stand looking at you like that. Gross." Levi cleaned Eren's mouth before throwing the napkin at him.

"Be right back I'm gonna go wash my hands." Levi stood up and went to the bathroom. Eren didn't move. Did Levi just do that? Eren blushed several shades of red. He was suddenly feeling really nervous and his heartbeat was racing. Calm down Eren. Calm down. Eren took several breaths.

Levi washed his hands and stared into the mirror. Did I really just do that? I mean sure I hate dirty and messy stuff but I would never clean someone up except for myself. And why did I sit infront of him in the first place? Levi keep your shit together. Levi splashed water on his face and wiped it. He looked normal. Great.

He walked out and saw Eren staring at nothing. "Oi brat what are you staring at? Finish up your food." Eren got back to reality when he heard Levi's voice. "O-Oh yeah o-okay-!" He ate more neatly this time and finished up his food. He grabbed his cup and began sipping on the juice.

"How old are you again?" Eren scoffed. "I'm eighteen. Not 5 or 6 or how old you think I am." Levi just nodded and sat back down infront of Eren. "How old are you?" Eren asked this time. "I'm 21. Just a few years older than you." Eren sipped the last of the contents in the cup before standing up.

"Alright I'm done." Eren said while brushing down his clothes. Levi stood up as well and walked to the counter. He pressed a few buttons and told Eren the price. Eren paid him and waited for his reciept. Levi punched a few buttons again before discreetly scribbling something on the reciept. Eren didn't notice.

"Here's your change and your reciept have a nice day blah blah blah whatever." Eren took it and suddenly started laughing. Levi raised a brow. "And what the hell is wrong with you?" Eren shook his head. "Nothing just thought the way you said have a nice day was really funny." Levi rolled his eyes.

"That's great brat now get out and study or something." Eren walked out the door a shouted a thanks. He stuffed the money and reciept down his pocket first made his way home. He took a short shower and sat down on his bed. He took the reciept and looked at it. He turned it behind and his eyes widen.

Call me whenever you're bored. Or if you want to come back to the shop. But don't call me too many times/prank me or I will stab you.

- Levi.

Did Levi just give him his number?
