Chapter Fifteen:

Movie Night:

Erens POV

We gathered up our stuff and went out the back door to the parking lot. I wanted to ask about the whole kiss thing but I was way too shy to do so. "Hey, Levi?"I took a breath. "Do you wanna watch movies with me when we get back?" I asked quietly, looking away from him as we got into the car. "sure why not. I'm tired anyway so I don't mind relaxing.

I felt a sense of relief wash over me and I no longer worried. He was comfortable with me and had even kissed me earlier yet he said he wasn't gay I just decided to brush it off and let it be I didn't want to make him mad. We drove back home snow falling around the dark road, the radio softly playing in the background.

Eventually, we arrived at his house and we both took our shoes off and sat down on the couch. "I'm so tiredddd" I complained. Levi rolled his eyes and turned down the lights but lit some candles "what are we on some romantic dinner date now?" I asked jokingly "if that's what you want.." Levi said smoothly and sat down with the remote in his hand. I leaned up against him and put my head on his shoulder. "Hey, Levi...I think I'm gay....." I whispered to him. He started to play with my hair. "Oh really now...what gave you the clue...? Or who gave you it?" "Well..," I paused. "When you kissed me I felt comfortable...and not like all gross when I kiss a girl," he smirked and looked down at me. He kissed my forehead and winked at me, then turned on the movie Us. The audio sounded amazing on the soundbar he had gotten and just made the experience more enjoyable.

As I leaned on him I slipped into thought, was Levi actually straight? A strong part of me said no and I was hoping I was correct. Despite his constant cocky attitude, he was a pretty chill person, and I enjoyed being around him. Sooner or later he threw his arm over the back of the couch and slipped the blanket over the two of us letting his hand fall down to meet mine. He gently intertwined our hands and I looked up at him. He stared at the screen of the TV with a smirk on his face and I could tell he didn't regret anything. I closed my eyes and nuzzled into him a little bit more, as I began to feel drowsy the words and sounds from the TV became muffled and the world around me slipped away.

Levis POV:

Light snores came up from the kid, and I looked down at him. His lips were slightly parted. So did I really play that much of a part in this kid figuring out his sexuality? How was that even possible? What he meant "I felt comfortable," at that moment I lost control, and my brain wasn't registering what I was doing. After I came to and realized what I had done, I felt bad, which was not a normal thing for me. I didn't really know how I felt towards him. I've known about him since he was in middle school and he got into a car crash on the news. He was the only one that remained alive, and I had caught interest in him then. He was in the 8th grade so he didn't go to my school, but I did see him when he came to the high school library.

I had always thought he was cute and he undeniably had a nice ass that girl though, she never left his side and had caught me staring at him a couple of times. I decided to build up my reputation more than it already was. I began to get into more fights and started to vape more often. I didn't give two shits as to what people thought of me. One day when that girl left his side I walked up to him.

"Hey. If you're an 8th grader why do you keep showing up here?" I asked trying not to be super rude but to hold my reputation in place. "Oh..I really like to read and they have better books here..." The boy spoke shyly. "I'm Levi. Levi Ackerman." I introduced myself as normal. "I actually uh know that-" He said and looked away. "Oh really now?" I questioned being bold as usual. Then the girl came running back. "Excuse me. Eren, why are you talking to this punk? He's a bad influence on you-" She said clearly annoyed. I walked away before I got into any of that drama and never saw him again.

That was until this year. I walked into class and we all headed down to the other grades classrooms and everyone's eyes immediately flickered to me. All but one. Eren. He tried to avoid any sort of eye contact and that girl shot a glare at me, but the other people just had plain looks of fear. The teacher called our names and who we would be partnered with after Erens name left my mouth I had to hold back a smirk. Boy would this be interesting.

Now I lay here half asleep with what I'm beginning to call my best friend asleep on my shoulder. I gave his hand a tight squeeze before closing my eyes and making an attempt to fall asleep, but I couldn't shake the thought. I didn't know or understand why I was so relaxed and okay with this kid laying on my lap. It had only been a week or so of really knowing this kid and he was already so important to me, yet there was so much I still didn't know about him. I was determined to know, it was obvious he had been through a lot, and I wanted him to open up to me. I wanted him to trust me.

I had insomnia and it was rare that I slept for more than 3 hours on average, so you can imagine my surprise when I had actually gotten a decent amount of sleep. Still, his head rested on my chest and our body heats were combined, I was glad I asked this kid to stay
