Eren's POV

Weeks had passed and nothing had changed. I was still Levi's fuck buddy and Levi still fucked me without having any feelings for it. I on the other hand had still feelings for him. But somehow I sensed how that feelings had changed slightly.

I think it was after Armin's marriage. When Levi and I touched each other. Even though I was in love with Levi, I doubted that Levi would stay by my side forever. He had no reason for that and I didn't know how much he actually cared about my emotions. I bet not much. Why did he come up with that idea of being fuck buddies in the the first place? Wasn't it actually pretty likely that one day the raven will get tired of me? What then? Will he leave me? More importantly, wasn't he already sick of me? How serious was our fuck buddy relationship to him?

What if... What if he was chea-

No!

Levi wouldn't cheat on me, right? He wouldn't do that! If he didn't want me than he would've left me right away, even if it would hurt me when he did that. But never ever would he cheat on me... would he?

As far as I know Levi was bisexual. On top he was an attractive man. I bet plenty women would fall for him and I think there might be even men who would gaze at him a second too long. Would Levi really take the opportunity and sleep with another person if they offer him that? Would Levi really do that?

Urgh! Why was I thinking of that right now?! Everything seemed to be alright between us so why was I making a fuss about nothing?! Why was I reflecting my situation in the first place? I'm-

My train of thoughts got interrupted by my ringing phone. I pulled it out and saw that it was Armin calling. I answered the call.

"Hey, Armin." I greeted him.

"Hey, Eren. How are you?" he asked with his usual happy voice.

"I'm fine." Although I wasn't really that okay right now, as I noticed myself just now, I didn't want to annoy Armin with that. But the dumb person I was, I hadn't controlled my voice enough and let a slight nervousness accompany my tone.

"Eren," the blond sounded concerned now, "Don't tell me lies. You aren't alright. I can hear that, even if we are only talking through the phone."

"I'm fine! Really! You don't have to worry about me all the time! I'm not your child!" I literally shouted at him, but regretted it immediatly.

"Eren-"

"I'm sorry, Armin. I didn't want to raise my voice. I'm truly sorry. I just don't want you to have to comfort me all the time." It was right that Armin and I were best friends. He would always help and comfort me whenever I had problems. But I didn't want him to do that all the time for me. Not because I felt annoyed of that, but perhaps Armin was already sick of dealing with my problems. It was always him to cheer me up, and rarely the other way around. My friend was happy 24/7, he didn't need someone in case he felt shitty.

"It's okay, Eren. Look, I am your best friend. Of course I want to help you whenever I can, after all I don't want to see you being upset."

"Thank you for these nice words." I felt so grateful for having such a friend as Armin.

"Why don't you come and visit me?," he continued, "That's actually the reason why I called you. Jean and I are back from our honeymoon and we've already moved to our new house and have set everything. I would be really glad if you'd come."

I smiled. It was a genuine smile. "Okay. I'll be there in 20 minutes."

"You know my new address, don't you?"

"Yeah."

"Okay... then see you soon, Eren."

"See ya."

I ended the call, staring at my phone screen for a few seconds. I think distraction was what I needed now. I can't think about Levi and our relationship all the time. But at that time I couldn't know that this topic would appear again very soon.

~~~~~

When I had arrived and saw Armin's new house in front of me, all I did was gazing in awe. The mansion was so huge!

Goddamn, why was horseface the rich one and not me?!

I huffed in annoyance -maybe even a bit in jealousy- and made my way to the door then. There I was greeted by Armin with a tight hug. I hugged him back.

"Levi?" he whispered into my ear.

Of course, Armin could tell right away what would bother me.

"Yeah." I answered.

He let me in and the first thing I did was to marvel at his living place. It was indeed huge and some things lookes really expensive, but all in all one would feel home sweet home here.

"Jean will be off soon. Meeting with Reiner and Bertholdt, so we'll be alone in a few minutes." Armin stated in a casual manner.

He motioned for me to sit on the couch and when I did so, I was embraced by cosiness. Yeah, I bet living in this house would be so comfortable, though that didn't mean that I hated Levi and I's apartment. Not at all. I guess that going out and visiting someone else's place was a good thing to do at some times. Armin gave me a bright smile before he went off, probably to the kitchen.

"Coffee?" the blond shouted from the other room.

"Yes." I yelled back.

It didn't take long and my best friend was back with two filled cups and a basket full of cookies and other sweets. He gave me one of the mugs and sat next to me then, sipping on his drink and smiling at me again after that. I did the same as him and when I had lowered my cup to my thigh, he started to speak up.

"What is your problem with Levi?"

I was a bit taken back by his question and didn't know how to answer at first. "I-"

We were interrupted by a door being opened and then closed again as we saw then how Jean exited a room and entered the living room where we were sitting.

"Hey, Armin. I'm going n-" he stopped talking when he spotted my face, looking confused and annoyed at me. "What the fuck are you doing here, Yeager?!"

"Jean!" Armin spat at him, "What is that for a question? Of course, I'll let Eren visit me occasionally and you know that! Don't say things like that!" the blond stood up and forwarded towards Jean. Horseface still glared at me.

"I swear, don't come close to my Armin!" he exclaimed as he was shoved out of the room by Armin, resisting his pushes a bit. I sticked my tongue out at Jean and received even more death glares by him, but I didn't mind. Armin growled as he pushed his husband, sending him outside.

"Don't you dare touch Armin! Or else I will twist your neck, Yea-"

More couldn't be heard of him anymore because Armin had already shut the door, sighing deeply then.

"I'm sorry, Eren. It's just that Jean got even more protective over me since we've married. That you two still hate each other is one thing, but his jealousy is another one." he rolled his eyes discreetly before he sat back beside me.

"To me, Jean is an asshole, but I think he makes a really good husband. He actually cares for you and only that counts." I retorted, making my friend blush sightly.

After a few moments he said, "Well, enough of that," he folded his hands and rested his chin on them, tilting his head as his big blue eyes locked with my emerald ones. "Now tell me what is up with you and Levi."
