Eren's POV

I woke up to find Levi curled up and facing me. I was exhausted last night, but in my hazy memory of what happened, I'm pretty sure he was facing the other way. As I watched him lay there, he began to move. I thought I felt my soul leave my body until I realized he was just snuggling up closer to me. His face was so calm and serene as he slept. I closed my eyes again and laid my head on top of his, gripping him slightly tighter. "Eren, I know you're awake," Levi unexpectedly spoke. His gruff morning voice caught me off guard, but to be completely honest... it was hot. I smiled as I spoke, "Well I don't plan on moving any time soon."

We laid there in his bed like that for quite a while, making short comments every once in a while. Never did I think I'd be here, laying in the bed of my celebrity crush with him snuggled up next to me. Not to mention dating him now. It's been forever, yet I'm still shocked by all of this.

I lifted my head up slightly and kissed the top of Levi's head. "What do you have to do today?" I asked. "I don't remember what the schedule said, but probably just the crew prepping the first location and starting to get things set up there." He answered. I hummed in response. "What do you want to do?" He asked, lifting his head to lay it on my chest and look up at me. "I mean, I don't know. I know you probably don't have the energy to go out in public, so we could just do something here." I said. "How about we just stay here forever," He replied. "I wish."

We both eventually got up, but didn't get dressed. What was the point if we weren't going anywhere? The early orange sun coming in through the window in the kitchen shone on Levi in such a way as he stood there to make his tea that he looked surreal.

"You want anything? Tea? Coffee?" Levi asked me. I didn't realize that I was just kinda standing there. "Oh, I don't drink coffee, but I'll have some tea." I answered. Levi set his tea down on the counter and began making some for me, when he suddenly stopped. "Wait- you work in a coffee shop, but you don't like coffee?" He asked, chuckling. "I mean it smells good, but- Wait! I've never seen you drink coffee." I responded. "Well I have a different job." I rolled my eyes and scoffed jokingly as he continued to make tea for me. While he did so, I stood behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face in the side of his neck. "I swear if you fall asleep again-" Levi began. I lightly chucked and he flinched. "Ew that tickled," he said.

Levi turned on some music and we sat on the couch talking and occasionally taking sips of our tea. "Eren," Levi said, sounding like he was going to ask a question. "Hm?" I responded. "Do your parents know about us?" He asked. I stopped for a second, and held my cup of tea in my lap. "Uhm.. no, they don't. I-I was gonna tell them, but I kinda wanted you to meet them, if that's okay with you. I don't really know when, but I'm sure we could work something out. They'd definitely be okay with us dating but I don't know if-" Levi cut me off mid-sentence with, "I'd love to meet them, Eren. Maybe I could fly back with you before the first concert."

Levi's POV

It was later, and Eren was laying on the couch on the other side of the room, probably on his phone. I was sitting at the wall piano in my mini-studio, struggling to remember how to play a song. I turned around and stared at Eren, maintaining a confused look on my face. He didn't notice me for a second, but when he did, his face mirrored mine. "What's that look for?" He asked, and I turned back around. "I was trying to remember something," I replied.

I finally remembered how to play the song I was thinking of, Wide Eyed. Once I got the hang of it, the notes all came flooding back to me. "C'mere," I said to Eren, still looking at the piano keys. I heard the sounds of him getting off of the couch and walking towards me. He stood behind me and put his hands on my shoulders, but slightly touching my neck. "Hm?" He hummed. "If I play a song, will you sing it?" I asked. He groaned. "Do I know it?" "Wide Eyed, Billy Lockett," I said. "Oh I know that song, but I sure know I don't want to sing it," he complained. "Oh, come onnn. Do you think I'm gonna judge you or something?" I asked. "No, obviously not but- you know what, whatever. I'll do it. Just this once."
