Sugar Sweet

Chapter 10

Eren

Three months of being together officially with Levi, and I can confidently say it has been the best three months of my life. We eat together, sleep together, have exuberant amounts of sex together, and have gotten to the point where we share a level of intimacy I never thought was possible.

Until Levi decided he likes work more than his delicious, young, sexy boyfriend, and has been busier with upcoming projects. I understand he's the CEO but....why would you ever choose work over staying home and fucking your boyfriend?

I wish I had an answer.

With Levi spending more time at the office and my friends suddenly becoming more occupied with graduate school and work, I find myself going to my bakery alone, coming back home alone, and generally being alone more often than not. This loneliness I've never really experienced before is starting to weigh on me, so I've come up with a perfect solution that Levi can't say no to.

"Levi?" I coo out as I enter the dark bedroom, a soft glow cast over the room by the lamp on the bedside table. Levi looks up at me from the book that lays in his lap, pushing himself into a proper seated position against the headboard.

I make my way over to him and slide in his lap, placing my hands on his shoulders and pressing a lingering kiss to his lips. I pull away to glance at him quickly, finding a curious expression on his face before kissing him on the cheek and peppering kisses on his face, continuing until he pushes me away with an eyebrow raised.

"Just ask for whatever it is you want, Eren, I'm not stupid."

I let an exaggerated gasp escape my mouth and shake my head rapidly. "I can't just kiss my boyfriend without wanting something? Is that how little you think of me, Levi?"

"Well, it's either that or you try to suck my dick-"

"Alright," I cut him off to prevent him from going into the multiple times I have done that to get something I desired, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of proving his point. "Let's not be so loud....there is something I wanted to talk to you about, though."

"Go ahead."

"I want to get a cat."

"Absolutely not."

I blink at him, slightly taken aback at his quick response but push it aside, I knew he would have a similar reaction to this since one of the first things he's told me is that he isn't fond of pets. Persistence is key in this situation.

"Why not? We could get a kitten, they're pretty docile and I'll train it to use a litter box, I'll even take care of everything so you won't have to deal with it."

He snorts before pushing me back slightly and opening his book again. "My answer isn't going to change."

I take the book from his hands and close it, placing it on the nightstand before turning back to him. "Come on Levi....please?" I stick my lower lip out slightly in a pout and lower my eyes slightly, hopefully passing off a suitable pleading look.

After a moment of eye contact, he sighs and pulls me closer, and I know I've got him. Armin was wrong about me not being irresistible.

"Why do you want a cat? You know how I feel about pets."

"I know, it's just recently it seems like everyone I care about is so busy and doesn't have any free time, and it's been lonely."

Another beat of silence stretches out between us, Levi's hands running idly up and down my thighs before he finally rolls his eyes and nods, my mood instantly brightening at his shift in demeanor.
