Red Strings Of Fate.

Chapter 8

Hey Eren. Uh can I come over? Is that okay?

Eren's heart skipped a beat when he saw the message. It was about 7 pm and he was currently drying his hair with a towel. It took him time to properly shower because it hurt everywhere. He stared at the message for a few minutes, deciding what to do. He then finally decided to just let him come over.

Yeah sure no probs.

Eren quickly typed the message and pressed send. He sat down on the couch and closed his eyes for a few seconds. He thought about the kiss. He raised his fingers to his lips and lightly touched it. He swore he still could feel the pressure of Levi's lips against his. He smiled a little.

He sat there waiting for Levi, trying not to freak out or anything. Eren jumped a little when he heard his door being knocked. He took a deep breath before walking towards the door and opening it. He saw Levi there, wearing a simple black low-neck shirt (which showed his delicious collarbones) and black pants. Eren opened the door wider and gestured for Levi to come in.

"Sorry for the sudden visit though." Levi said while walking towards the couch and sitting down. Eren shook his head. "Nah it's fine. Do you need anything?" Levi ran his fingers through his hair. "No not really I came to check to see whether you were alright. Is it okay if I re-check your wounds?" Eren nodded before taking off his shirt.

Levi took one look and looked back at Eren like he was the stupidest person on earth. "Eren." "Uh yes?" "Why did you shower with the bandages still on?" Eren titled his head in confusion. "Wait what I'm not supposed to do that?" Levi pinched his nose bridge. "Idiot no you are suppose to take it out. Great now we have to replace them before they get infected. Got any first aid kit around here?"

"In the cupboard there." Eren pointed and Levi went to get it. Levi came back and opened the box. Levi looked at it in complete disgust. "You need to go for supplies and new medicine. Its all old and expired Eren don't you ever clean your stuff? Have the decency." Levi managed to find some clean legit bandages in the pile of old stuff.

Eren shrugged. "Normally when I get in a fight and see the nurse, she gives me extra stuff so I don't really use my own first aid kit." Levi looked at Eren in disbelief. "And exactly why are you getting in fights?" Eren let out a sigh. "I don't know either. I'm like a get-into-fights magnet it's really annoying." Levi slowly peeled off the bandages he put on earlier.

Levi cringed when he was doing it as the bandages were wet and soggy and gross and he wanted to puke. He quickly threw them away and washed his hands. "Alright I'm gonna examine it again. Tell me when it hurts." Eren nodded. Levi began pressing with slight pressure all over, checking Eren's expressions. Nothing was broken, just severely bruised.

"Yeah nothing's broken that's good." I'm just gonna apply some bruise medicine and a layer of gauze so you don't hurt it." Levi expertly cut the gauze into shape and taped it after applying the cream. He patted everything and made sure it was all secure. When he decided it was, he put back where the box came from and sat back down.

"What a coincedence, huh? I'm a nurse at your very school." Eren laughed. "Yeah I was really surprised when I saw you as well." "By the way, why were you fighting with that horse-faced guy?" Eren rolled his eyes. "He thought I was trying to steal his boyfriend aka my bestfriend. Pfft. What a dweeb." Eren folded his arms and scoffed at the thought of Jean.

Levi let out a smug laugh. "Oh and um. Sorry about what happened today and yesterday. I really don't know what's gotten into me lately." Levi tried to say without messing up. Eren looked at Levi. "Uh no that's fine I guess." Eren awkwardly scratched his neck. "H-Have you found your soulmate yet?" Eren asked.

He heard Levi sigh and saw him shaking his head. "No. I have his name on my palm but its been three years and I still haven't found him. Starting to think of giving up to be very honest." Eren sat next to Levi and looked at him with a very sympathetic look.

"What's his name? Can I know?" Levi looked at Eren and let out another sigh. "Yeah sure whatever. He has the same first name as you though." Eren looked at Levi in confusion. "Oh okay wow that's weird." But before Levi showed him his palm, he asked. "Wait have you found yours?" Eren's expression immediately dropped.

"Nope. I don't even have their name written on my palm. Rather sad though." Levi smiled softly at him and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. You'll find your soulmate soon." Eren smiled back. "Thanks. Really needed to hear that. Can I see it now?" Levi nodded and opened his palm infront of Eren. Eren gasped and eyes widen to the size of saucepans.

Eren Jaeger. The name was neatly scrawled in black ink on Levi's palm.

B-But that's me..
