Freeze [Levi/Eren]

Dinner, not like one I've had before: 5

I can't begin to describe the nerves I felt as I stepped foot in a car that cost more than my entire existence. He sent me a glance as we put on our seat belts and he started up the engine. My hands were already sweating, did I mention I've only ever had one real relationship and it was with a girl. That's pretty much how I discovered my sexual preference.

Crap...

"Eren...?"

Crap...

I felt him reach for my hand and I pulled it away a little to quickly. Damn it, he looked a little hurt.

"Ah, sorry it's umm I'm a little sweaty and I didn't want to-"

We came to a stop light and that's when he ran his elegant fingers through my hair, he grabbed hold of it and turned my head to face him. I was caught off guard and probably looked like a deer in headlights.

"Its ok Eren, your cute when your nervous."

Shit, shit, shit!

He's way too close to my face. He eventually pulled away after probably committing my face to memory.

"Is this your first date or something?"

"No... well not exactly. I've been on dates before, your just the first man I've been on a date with."

"So it's your first date, you just get cuter and cuter Eren. Your also a virgin right?"

My entire face went red. This was not first date conversation!

"I'll take that as a yes."

I dont know how I'll make it through the rest of this car ride.

We made it to the restaurant and I felt like I wasn't worthy enough to even breath the air. I thought he said it wouldn't be that fancy. If this isn't fancy for him then I'm scared to see what he does consider fancy.

We were lead to a table by a window with a beautiful view of a fountain, too bad it was too late to really make it out. We were a bit away from everyone else which I liked. We sat across each other with a single candle in the center of the table.
It was nice and warm inside, they took our coats at the door. I've never been anywhere, where they took your coats at the door. Somehow I felt out of place.

I picked up the menu and couldn't pronounce anything on the list. Was that french, or italian? I felt eyes on me and looked up into the steel gray orbs.

"Do you need help with the menu? I know it probably looks like a riddle to you," he raised a perfectly arched eyebrow.

"Yes please, unfortunately the only language I know is english."

He explained the menu to me and helped me decide on something that wasn't to out of my comfort zone. Then our waiter came. Levi ordered some fancy wine and I just got water.

"So umm..." for whatever reason I decided to initiate conversation. "Your a fashion designer, that's pretty cool. How'd you get into that?"

He grinned, taking a sip of his wine. "When I was ten is when I realized it. I loved putting together outfits and even drawing up sketches of my own designs. I always got inspiration for entire lines from beautiful people..." he trailed off looking at me intensely, narrowing his cat-like eyes.

"The moment I saw you in that coffee shop, Eren I came up with so many designs just looking at your eyes alone. You could even say that you're my muse."

whoa, I've never been anyone's muse before...

"Wow thanks, I never thought anyone would ever find me that interesting," I was playing with my fingers under the table, and I kept glancing at them out of embarrassment.

"Maybe one day you'll let me dress you up like a ken doll," he sent me a dangerous wink and I felt chills run down my spine, I'm not sure yet if its from fear or excitement.

"I had someone who dressed me up like that, my sister... but she moved to california for school."
He seemed interested and leaned forward. "Are you close with your sister?"

"Very, it probably sounds lame but besides Armin she's like my best friend," I felt a stupid grin stretch across my face and tried to will it away.

"So you have two best friends, one of which is your sister who's moved away. You work part-time at a dollar store and go to collage I assume? your cute as a button and a virgin. Don't you just sound like the perfect protagonist."

I don't read many books but I've read enough to know where he's coming from.

"Well if this was a book or movie or whatever, it sounds like the makings of a tragedy..." I sipped my water and tried not to have my eyes land on him. I wasn't sure what the appropriate amount of times was to look at someone when on a date. I felt like I was looking at him to much.

"Well that depends on you, because I feel like we could have a happy ending."

Our food came and it looked more like art than food. I didn't even want to poke it with my fork. But Levi had no problem digging in.

"I know it doesn't look real but I assure you it's editable."

I nodded and picked up my fork, I felt like I was entering foreign land. I cut off a piece and placed it in my mouth. It was pretty good.

"How is it?"

"It's good."

I think the trick is you make the food really tasty but you only give a small amount so they're forced to order more.

"Eren here," Levi had a fork full of his dish and was leaning over the table, in an attempt to feed me.

"Open up I want you to try this."

I didn't really have much of a choice so I opened my mouth with an "ah!" And he slipped the food inside. It was a little embarrassing so I couldn't help the blush that appeared. I chewed and swallowed.

"You like it?"

"Yeah it's really good."

He was smirking at me again, "I could feed you more if you want and it doesn't even have to be food."

Crap, damn, shit, no ok umm...

"I dont kiss on the first date let alone that..."

"How about the second date?"

Wait, he actually wants a second date with me.

"I may not have been on very many dates but I know that kind of stuff shouldn't happen till at least the third date."

"So your saying on the third date it's ok for me to take you home?" The atmosphere took a sudden turn and I felt like a small animal being cornered by its predator. He literally looked like he wanted to eat me.

"No, no, no, that is not what I meant," I sounded like a girl but whatever I was trying to get a point across.

"But Eren you're hurting my feelings," his voice dropped an octave and for some reason I found it so attractive. Animals play with their pray before they devour them.

"I'm not on the menu tonight Levi," I sounded so unconvincing.

"What a shame," he exhaled looking out the window.
