Too loud

Swim meet gone odd?

Eren's POV
After I started to go out with my English teacher, I've actually looked forward to going to school. "Eren buddy, you waking up?" My mom asked knocking on my door. "Yeah.. kinda... I'll be down in a little." I said hearing my phone ringing somewhere in my bed. When I found it, I saw that it was Levi calling me. Not like a voice call though... Like a video calling.. "Mmm... Hey.." I said answering the video call. "Good morning gorgeous.. What time did get to sleep?" I thought for a minute. "About 2... My parents were arguing most of the night, then I had to finish that paper for class." I said watching him smile. "Mm-hmm, you need better sleep baby." "I know.. But with some thing's constantly on my mind... I can't seem to get good sleep." He then chuckled getting out of his bed. "Can I stay over tonight after my meet? I get better sleep at your place.." I said watching him smile. "Yeah.. Just make sure that you pack a bag this time. Tomorrow I've got a marathon, if you would like to go." He said with the sound of him making his tea in the background. "I gotta go.. Mom made breakfast, then I have to go meet up with my teammates.." I said trying not to sound like I miss him. "When do you have a brake to just yourself?" "About an hour before my swim meet and after it.. Why?" "I miss your lips on mine. And you seem like you miss something." "Can I just meet up with you for breakfast?" I asked getting out of bed to get dressed. "I can't see why not. Why don't you meet me at the Starbucks near my house." "Kay..." I said smiling at him. "What do you want when I get there?" He asked leaving his house. "Can I just have a peppermint tea and an oatmeal cup?" I said watching worry come into his eyes. "You still not feeling good?" "Kinda... I mean I feel a little better, but not a lot." I said plugging my headphones in then walking down the stairs. "Good morning buddy.." "Morning mom. I'm gonna go eat breakfast with one of my teammates." I said watching Levi smile. "Oh.. See you after your meet then." Mom said as I walked out of the house. "I'm on my way over.." I said watching him smile at me. "Peppermint tea and an oatmeal cup right?" "Yeah.." "Alright.. Love you." "Love you too. I'll see you when I get there." I said blowing him a kiss then pulling out of my driveway.

When I got to the Starbucks, I saw Levi sitting in the window on his phone. I walked in and sat down next to him watching a smile come onto his lips. "Good morning beautiful." He said looking at me. "Is it wrong for me to say that I don't want to compete today?" "Are you feeling worse?" He asked passing me the two things I asked for. "Yeah.. Kinda." "Kinda how?" I then took a sip of my tea, feeling that it was still warm. "Like I woke up with a headache, and a small stomachache.." I said taking a bite of my oatmeal. I then groaned softly pushing the oatmeal away feeling my stomach turn. "You okay baby?" He asked stealing a bite of my oatmeal. "Yeah.. I just don't think I'm ready to eat yet." I said taking another sip of my tea. I'm kind of glad that I'm doing a relay today and that the relays are first. Not to mention that my partner and I are first up. "You seem paler than when you walked in." He said as I laid my head on his shoulder. "Can we just go to your house? I don't think I should swim today.." I said as he felt my forehead. "You're not running a fever. I think you should try to swim today. You might feel better." He said moving my hair out of my face. I then looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "Why don't you call up your team, and tell them that you have to deal with somethings at home.. And just come home and take a nap on the couch. We haven't done that in a month. At least not since we first started to go out." He said rubbing my thigh.

After I called my team and told them that I have some things to do before the meet, I went over to Levi's to take a nap.

Levi's POV
When Eren walked in my house, he seemed more pale than at breakfast. "Hey beautiful. You feeling any better?" I asked walking up to him watching him breath heavily. "To be honest, no. I feel worse. Like I actually feel like I'm going to puke. I'll be back." He said walking past me and down the hall to the bathroom. When he came back out to the living room, he looked tired and like he was a ghost. He laid down on my lap, and began to fall asleep. I do know that at the school, students have been falling ill with the flu. "Did you get sick when you went down the hall?" I asked feeling his forehead. "Yeah... I might just go back to my house before the meet, that way you don't get what I've got." He said sitting up. "I really would like to take care of you if you're sick." "I don't want you to get sick also." He said starting to get up. "Eren... Please, let me take care of you." I said following him to the front door. "I'm going home Levi. I'll call you when I get there." He said turning around to face me. When he looked at me, he seemed like he was miserable. "I can make you some broth and some tea, and we can curl up next to the fire and watch movies all weekend. And Sunday night, you can go home and make the decision if you'll be going to school on Monday. But that's all up to you." I said holding my arms out for a hug. When he walked into my arms, he whispered, "I'll stay..". I smiled, picked him up and took him back to the living room, and laid him down. "I'll be back. I'm going to grab you a pillow, both of us a blanket, and my phone charger. Do you want yours that you left here last week?" "Mm-hmm." "Do you feel sick?" "Mm-hmm..." He mumbled rolling onto his stomach. I then grabbed the trash can out of the corner of the living room and set it down next to him. "Here's this if you think you can't make it down the hall." I said leaning down to kiss his forehead.
