No Name [Ereri/Riren Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Chapter Nineteen

     It was warm. Everything around me was gently warm and comforting, and it was all thanks to Eren being by my side once more. His hold was soft and loose as he was asleep, his light and almost quiet snores letting me be known to this fact. My eyes landed on his hand and so mine moved on its own to entangle our fingers together before I brought his hand to my lips and laid a soft kiss atop of it. Memories of what had occurred in this bed revived in my head and my face quickly heated up from the embarrassment of it all. After I thought things through I calmed myself down. What was done was done, end of story. Do I regret any of it? Not a chance.

     As I was about to fall back asleep, someone began shaking the door handle and knocking —more like pounding— on my door. I groaned and got out of bed carefully as to not wake the brunet, even though I was sure whoever was at the door would accomplish that task first. I looked over my shoulder to make sure Eren was still asleep as I made my way to the door, but I could tell he wouldn't be for long if the knocking persisted. Upon reaching the door, I unlocked it and opened it by a sliver to see who it was. All I could do was stand in place, frozen with morbid shock.

     "Good morning, L. It isn't like you to sleep in on the first day of recording."

     "E-Erwin. W-what time is it?"

     "It's twenty after twelve."

     "Christ! Hold on, I'll get dressed and head on over."

     Just as I was closing the door, Erwin stopped me and tried pushing past me. I wasn't going to let him find out about my newly formed relationship with Eren, so I applied more of my strength in order to keep the door from opening any further. I may look small and weak but I'm stronger than one of those guys you see at weightlifting competitions. Eventually, Erwin stopped his pursuit in getting inside my room and left. I locked the door as quickly as I could and leaned against it for some time, that is before Eren had finally woken up.

     "Huh? Levi? What're you doing at the door?"

     "... Had a visitor come to tell us that we slept in on our first day of recording."

     "Wait, what?!"

     "It's not your fault. Besides, someone ends up sleeping in anyway so there's really nothing to worry about."

     "Well, if you say so."

     I let out a breath and put on a soft smile as I walked back over to my bed and crawling under the sheets, Eren wrapping his arms around me. Something about this just felt right, no matter how I looked at it. After last night's events I can now say with certainty that I have indeed fallen in love with the brunet. I suppose I knew it from the very beginning but I was in denial about it, so it took us a while for us to realize our true feelings. However hard the path may have been, and may still be, we'll tackle it together.

     "Levi?"

     "Mm?"

     "Remember that one song that never finished writing?"

     "Mhm."

     "I think I know what the last verse ought to be, and it's all thanks to you."

     He nestled his chin into the crook of my neck before placing a warm and loving kiss there. I allowed my head to lean onto his before he started trailing more kisses on my neck and then my cheek. Our little "battle" had begun and I desperately tried to get the brunet to stop, even if I enjoyed it on a small degree. I had managed to pull away from him to start getting ready for our first day back in the recording studio. After we had done our morning routines, we headed downstairs to grab a quick and small lunch. As we entered the kitchen, we heard a voice inside and we could only guess they were on a phone call. Upon entering the room, we both froze in place when we saw it was in the kitchen.
