The Sound of You - Ereri - (Boyxboy)

Chapter 6 Merry Christmas! Part 2

     LEVI'S POV

     I woke up to the sound of Eren singing some shitty Christmas carol. I yawned with my face in my pillow, wishing I could mute him and go back to sleep. Christmas really was pointless. Bratty kids getting a bunch of free shit while adults blew all their money on said brats. People got more annoying and busy and grumpy and crazy during the holidays. I hate the holidays. We should just have a peaceful year of no holidays, no crazy shoppers, no screaming children and fighting parents. I hate the holidays.

    "Will you shut up?" I growled at him. All I earned was a laugh and then more singing. I sighed and sat up, ready to kindly lecture him about the importance of respecting my wishes and that he should soon be shutting the hell up.

     "Shitty brat, you know-" I reached up to rub the back of my neck, but my hand was met with a soft, fluffy fabric. I soon became aware of the snug feeling around my head.

     "What the fuck. Is on my head."

     Instead of answering my question like a normal, completely not obnoxious human being, Eren responded by bursting out in laughter.

     My irrate expression contorted into one of rage.

     "I swear to..." I muttered angrily to myself as I grabbed hold of whatever was on my head and yanked it off.

     It was a Santa hat with little bells sticking up from the top of it like antennae. Like some kind of fucking mutant Santa-bug. 

     What the hell.

     I looked up from the hat to glare at Eren. Upon seeing my face, he buckled over in what was now silent laughter.

     I growled slightly, letting my irritation seethe out. With that I threw back the covers and lept out of bed.

     Eren, having heard the slight thud of my feet hitting the floor, let out a slight yelp, before scurrying over to his side of the room.

     He leapt over my bean bag, with me in hot pursuit. 

     "Get back here, you shitty brat, so I can teach you a lesson!" I yelled at him. The stupid shit-brat still hadn't stopped laughing.

     He jumped up and skid across the top of his bed before bolting to the bathroom.

     He managed to slam the door shut right as I was about to shove my foot in the doorway to stop him

     "You little shit," I gasped between breaths. I could hear Eren was out of breath as well, for he was gasping and giggling irregularly from his laughing fits. Meanwhile, I was mumbling profanities between breaths, while leaning against the closed door for support.

     Despite my negative attitude and vengeful feelings, I felt my cheek muscles aching, and realized my face was donning a slight smile.

     What the hell?

     I put my normal blank slate back on, then rubbed the soreness from my cheeks.

     Was I seriously being playful just now..?

     "You're a bastard, you know that, brat?" I growled through the door, lacing my voice with annoyance and aggrivation.

     "Yeah?" he questioned from the other side of the door. Before I knew what was happening, that same door, the one that had barricaded us from each other, and that I had been leaning against flew open.
