Levi P.o.v:

"So you and Eren seem close..." Gray said with a smirk.

I blushed and nodded, turning to look at the fish that we had walked back over to.

"Yeah... he's great." My stomach felt like it had a hole in it when I said that.

"I'm not gay." He said bluntly.

My stomach dropped and my heart clenched. I wanted to cry right then and there, but I couldn't. He looked so happy talking to these people.

Especially the pink haired one.

He's clearly flirting. Not that Eren notices of course.

I gripped his hand tighter and glared at the wall beside me.

He looked over and squeezed my hand, and my breath hitched, it felt nice... until he turned and started to talking to Natsu again.

"You sound uncertain." Gray said with a sad smile.

"He really is a great friend... I just... I don't know."

Lies.

I do know. I don't want to be just Eren's "friend."

"You don't want to be only a friend to him am I right?"

I smiled and nodded sadly, turning to look at Gray who was also smiling.

"I know how you feel." He said softly.

"You do?"

"Mhm. See that pink headed idiot Eren was talking to? Well I've been in love with him for eleven years."

"Holy crap... that's a long time." I said, he holds this sparkle in his eyes when he talks about Natsu. It's kind of fucking adorable. The fact that he's so heart eyes about Natsu I mean. I have my eyes on one person and one person only.

"Mhm. But do you think he's ever noticed? Nope. Not at all. He really is dense sometimes." He said softly, adoration lacing his voice.

"How long have you actually known each other then?" I asked as we walked past the jellyfish.

"Well I've known him for fourteen years. We first met when we were six and we became friends, but I only realised I was in love with him when we were nine."

"So you're twenty now... why don't you just ask him to be your boyfriend?" I asked.

Gray chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Natsu is a very complicated person. You won't really understand unless you've known him as long as I have... plus it doesn't help that he's had his eyes on Eren for the past four years." He said with a frown.

"I'm sorry about that... It must be hard." I said, looking away.

"No it's okay, this is actually why I wanted to talk to you alone. To make a proposal." He said, his frown turning into a smirk.

"O-okay?"

"I'll help you make Eren jealous, if you'll help me do the same with Natsu..."

"U-um... I-I don't quite understand..."

"Basically... If I act like I'm interested in you and act all lovey-dovey, Eren will get jealous and want you all to himself. And it'll also make Natsu jealous at the same time. He can't stand the attention not being on him." Gray said with a laugh.

"So? How about it?"

This could work... would it be so bad if I got my own back on Eren? No I don't think so...

"I accept your proposal." I said with a smile, intertwining our hands as we made our way back to where the others were.

Eren P.o.v:

I huffed in annoyance as I sat down on a bench in the main reception. An hour of looking and we couldn't find them. Where can they have gone!?

This is getting serious. If Levi goes missing and I have to call the police I could lose my job... or worse him.

How could he just disappear? It's so unlike h- never mind.

Levi walked under the archway connecting the reception and the exhibit, his hand entangled in Gray's. Okay now I'm pissed.

"Levi!" I said in a loud voice when he got close enough. He stopped smiling and looked over at me.

"Yes?"

Is he fucking serious right now?

"Where the hell did you go? Do you know how long me and Natsu have been trying to find you two!?" I shouted. I couldn't help it. He just disappeared and I was so worried.

His bottom lip quivered a little. Oh spare me.

"Don't you dare do that again. Ever, you hear me? You scared the fuck out of me Levi can't you see that!?"

A tear fell down his cheek, closely followed by another and another after that.

I felt guilt twist in my stomach and I sighed.

"Levi... I'm sorry for shouting, you just worried me." I said softly, but he still cried.

I stepped closer and went to pull him into a hug but he shrugged me off and ran over to... Gray.

The whole group had watched me shout at him, man I must look like a dick.

Gray wrapped his arms around Levi and rubbed his back, Levi seemingly melting into the embrace.

Get the fuck off of him.

Natsu walked over to me with a pissed off expression.

"That's unlike Gray. He hates tears, what is he doing." He said, his fists curled into a tight ball.

I just huffed and turned away from them, trying to settle the anger, that for some reason, was seeping through my body.

"We should probably go before it gets dark boys." Lucy said, placing a hand on both of our shoulders and pushing us forwards.

"Where are we going?" Gray asked.

"Eren invited us to the cinema with him and Levi." Erza said, ushering the others out behind us.

I glared at Levi and Gray as they passed.

"Hey Natsu, do you wanna come in the car with me?" I asked, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Natsu looked at Gray and Levi, who had turned to see how Natsu would answer. He glared at Gray and then looked at me.

"I'd love to." He said with a smirk, he walked over and shocked me by linking my arm.

I guided him to my car and he got in the passenger seat. Levi and Gray (who was coming apparently) having no choice but to sit in the back.

I heard Levi mumble something to Gray about "not working" and he responded by wrapping his arm around Levi's waist and whispering something in his ear.

Levi blushed and giggled before Gray opened the car door for him. He got in and Gray followed.

I got in the drivers seat with a huff and pulled out of the parking space, Lucy and Erza following in the car behind.

A few minutes passed in awkward silence, the tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.

And then I was suddenly surprised. My hand was resting on the gear stick and Natsu had reached over and started playing with my fingers.

I smiled and looked in the rear view mirror to see Levi and Gray glaring at our hands.

Well if they can be happy why can't me and Natsu?

I looked at Natsu and winked, making him blush and though he tried to hold back a smile he couldn't help it.

"So what movie are we seeing?" Gray said loudly.

"Hmm. I'm not sure, what film do you wanna see Natsu?" I asked and he had seemingly caught on to what I was doing.

"Anything as long as you're there." He shot back, the blush still present on his face.

"I quite like scary movies. What about you?"

"Um... yeah, they're awesome." He said hesitantly and Gray snorted from the back seat telling me that Natsu actually did not like scary movies.

Perfect.

Well this is gonna be interesting.

*time skip to le cinema brought to you by a whole lotta sexy dragon slayer*

"Next! how can I help you?" The man at reception asked.

"Six tickets for the conjuring please." I said with a smile.

The guy, who's name was supposedly 'rin' nodded and printed out six tickets.

"Theatre six." He said in a bored voice, his raven hair covering his eyes. I thanked him and we all walked to theatre six together.

We had agreed previously that a scary movie would be better. (A lot of which had to do with me begging them all.)

We sat down and waited for the film to start. Me next to Natsu and Levi, Levi was next to Gray and Lucy and Erza where next to them.

(In case that was confusing they're sat like this:

|Erza|Lucy|Gray|Levi|Eren|Natsu|

Sorry I'm really bad at explaining it but I tried ;-;)

*le time skip brought to you by I can't write for shit hahahaha kms*

We were three quarters into the movie, and it was starting to get scary.

I heard sniffling to my right and looked over to see Levi trying hard not to cry. He was looking away from the screen, choosing to stare up at the ceiling instead.

Shit I didn't think about him.

He starts to shake and rubs his arm against the seat.

Fuck fuck fuck. I need to get him out of here before he has another episode.

I took his hand gently and he flinched. I carried on, squeezing his hand to make him look at me and then when he did, guided him slowly out of his chair.

Natsu moved out of the way so I could get him out and I smiled slightly as I saw him shift closer to Gray.

I led him out of the doors, whispering for him to take deep breaths.

We finally got out of the dark, crowded theatre and I could see him properly. His eyes were red and puffy and he was struggling to stand up.

He looked at me and shook his head in fear, his pupils were blown up so that I could barely see the blue colour I love so much, and his teeth were clenched so tight I'm surprised he didn't break them.

I slowly moved forwards and led him into a hug, wrapping my arms around him and rubbing small circles into his back.

He hugged back slowly, his arms hanging loose around my waist.

After a few more seconds I pulled back and cupped his face, wiping away any leftover tears with my thumbs.

He gave me a watery smile and took a deep breath.

"I'm s-sorry for b-being m-mean..."

"What are you talking about silly?" I asked, confused at this sudden apology.

"Me and G-Gray were trying to make y-you and N-Natsu jealous. But then you and Natsu w-were flirting and we didn't know what t-to do a-" I rolled my eyes and cut him off with my lips on his.

He kissed back immediately. The hands that were hanging loosely around my waist made their way up the back of my shirt, and my fingers in the belt loops of his jeans, pulling him closer and eliminating any space between us.

Unfortunately air is a thing that is needed to remain concious so he broke away after a few minutes, panting but with a smile on his face.

Fuck it.

"Levi... I know that you're my friend and all... and I know that sometimes things get a bit out of hand... but honestly? I can't hold myself back anymore so..."

Big breath Jaeger boy.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Oh thank fuck. Yes I'll be your boyfriend you beautiful little shit." He said softly, before pulling me in by the collar of my shirt and kissing me.

Okay... so turns out I'm sorta kinda hella gay.
