Day Fifteen- Argumentative Cleaning

Day Fifteen- Argumentative Cleaning

(11/21/14)

"What is this?" Levi asked, intrigued, as he closed the door behind him and looked around the supposedly spotless room.

"I wanted to impress you." It was obvious that that sentence was rehearsed; Eren stuck his chin up to seem brave but his eyes darted; his hands clenched in fists pressed against his jeans; his voice cracked, wavered, and was all too "confident"; his body trembled.

"Oh really?" Levi responded, amused.

"Yes, really. I can't impress my boyfriend?" Eren snapped firmly.

"One- are we boyfriends? And two- I think you forgot to add 'attempt' in your frivolous demands."

"Did it not work?" His stern voice was actually beginning to get to Levi. It squirmed under his skin, and he narrowed his eyes.

Levi strided swiftly to the couch. Using two fingers, he moved it away from the wall. "Yes, definitely, it worked," he muttered sarcastically at the film of dust bunnies.

"Must've missed that," Eren mumbled.

"This, too, I would imagine," Levi ranted sardonically as he lifted a finger, tinted gray from dust, away from the mantle. He turned to Eren, eyebrows raised. "Honestly, I'm confused at what you're trying to impress me with: a clean apartment or a filthy one?"

"Out of sight, out of mind?" Eren threw up his hands. "I dunno! Every time I try to impress you, you never let me! I mean, come in!"

"Oh, quit your tantrums, Eren, you aren't three." Levi rolled his eyes.

"Then what am I to you?" He yelled in frustration. "Obviously not a boyfriend! Perhaps a pet? I try, Levi, can't you just accept that?"

Levi bit down the saying, "give a dog a bone," and sighed. He looked down and put his hands on his hips. Then, after a few minutes, he glanced back up at the huffing boy.

"You impress me in more ways than your thick head can count, brat," he admitted softly. The quiet seemed painfully louder than Eren's yelling a moment earlier.

"Come, let's start cleaning," Levi jerked his head.

Eren puffed the air out of his cheeks and nodded. Together, they began scrubbing and dusting.
