Discussion Time
"Well, um," I took a moment to think. Everyone's eyes were on me I had to think fast. "First of all, we can't act like we already know each other. So wait for each of us to introduce ourselves."
"I get what you mean. So I can't just walk up and be like hi Levi." Eren said and I sighed.
"You can't call me Levi. So I'll have to walk up to you and say something along the lines of, 'Hello, my name is Mr. Ackerman I am Mikasa's English teacher,' and that's when you'll introduce yourself as either Mr. Jaeger or ever just Eren." I explained and he nodded.
"Alright got it," he nodded. "What else?"
"Try not to look at him like that," Hanji cut in.
"Like what," he asked. I was thinking the same thing. I didn't see him look at me weird.
"You look at him like he's the love of your life. Your lips twitch into a smile and your eyes brighten up." She tried to be more specific with it.
He just blinked a few times. I don't even think he realized he was looking at me that way, I didn't, but now that Hanji's said something I can definitely see what she's talking about. I let a smile slip as I tried not to laugh he looked at me and she was right.
"Levi you too," she cleared her throat. I caught myself suppressing the slight smile on my face and averted my eyes back to her.
"On second thought you two shouldn't look at each other at all unless it's absolutely necessary." Mikasa laughed watching us.
"That's fair," Eren said with a sigh.
"It can't be helped," I smiled back at Eren, "you're just to draw to my good looks as I am to yours."
"Damn you for being so attractive," Eren laughed.
"Well, no flirting is a given," Mikasa cut in with a fake gagging noise.
"Don't talk to each other too much," Hanji spoke up again. "The tone of your voices get noticeably lighter."
"So basically don't look, talk, or even breath by each other," I sighed looking to Hanji for confirmation.
"Pretty much."
"Well, this meeting is going to go swimmingly." I rolled my eyes.
"Hey it's going to be okay babe, we got this," Eren said and I saw Hanji smile a little.
"If you think so then I guess I believe you," I gave him a small smile.
"Well, I think that's enough for now. If I notice anything else I'll let you know." Hanji stood up and gave a straight stretch. "I'm going to head home."
"I think we should do the same," Eren spoked up and I nodded.
"Actually, I was going to spend the night at Armin's if that's okay?" Mikasa asked. "So if you too want a date night?" she pretended to gag again, "then you should plan for tonight."
Eren let out a big smile and turned to me. "Does tonight sound good?"
"Sure, how about I meet you at your house in 2 hours?" I suggested.
"That'd be perfect."
"Last time you guys spent the night together I walked in on you-"
"Hanji!" I said quickly, "phrase your next words very carefully or I might have to kill you," I quickly darted my eyes over to Mikasa making sure she got the hint not to talk about what she saw in front of her.
She just smiled and with that smile, I knew she didn't care. "You have a pretty dick." She laughed and ran to the door while I turned towards Mikasa mortified.
Her eyes were wide and she gagged again. I couldn't tell if this one was faked or real. She just looked at me and back to her brother. "Yall nasty," she finally said with a grimace.
"I'm so sorry," I finally said averting my eyes away from her with my face both pale and red. I didn't think it was possible to have all the blood drain from your face yet also have all your blood rush to your cheeks but here I am.
The room stilled when Hanji opened the door. She closed it really fast and ran back over to us. "Hide them," she said quickly in a panicked tone. "Erwin's here."
"Why is principal Smith at your house?" Mikasa asked.
"We're kinda friends, which makes this a lot harder," I said leading them to my bedroom where Mikasa looked at the bed and back to Eren like he was guilty of something. I didn't bother to stay and figure out what she was thinking, then again I could take a guess.
I walked back out into the front room right as there was a knock on the door. Hanji opened it and I sat on the couch and tried my best to act normal.
"Hey Hanji," Erwin sounded surprised, "what are you doing here?"
"Well, I was worried about Levi so I thought I'd stop by and make sure he wasn't getting sick again. Turns out he's just tired and grouchy like usual." She laughed, "I was about to head out. He still needs a lot of rest, he's been overworking himself per usual." She said loudly glaring over her shoulder trying to sell her little act which looked identical to the real thing.
"Ah, I see." Erwin laughed. "Well, I just wanted to drop by and see if everything was okay." Erwin himself seemed a little distracted staring off into space. His eyes were on the coffee table... no... the phone on the coffee table. It's Mikasa's and Eren's was right next to hers. There's no way he could recognize Mikasa's phone right? I mean her case isn't the most popular, but there's bound to be others exactly like it right?
"Whose are those?" he asked. He seemed more confused than anything. Probably because there were random peoples' phones on my coffee table.
"I found them outside along the sidewalk and was trying to see if I could reach one of the contacts to see if I can return them. If not I'm going to wait and see if anyone calls asking for them." I shrugged.
"That's nice of you," he smiled. "Well I hope you get some rest, and I hope the owners' are able to get there phones back," he laughed. "Well, I'm going to head home I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
"Thanks, Erwin. I really appreciate you going out of your way for me," I said giving him a smile. "I'll get some rest."
"Good."
Hanji offered to walk out with him. I can tell when she got in her car cause my phone buzzed in my pocket. "Cost is clear for them to come out, but wait 5-10 minutes before letting them leave just in case he takes his time with driving away."
I quickly responded back, "thanks Hanji will do."
"It's all clear," I called out and Eren and Mikasa came out of the room with a sigh of relief.
"You left your phones," I sighed pointing them out.
"Shit," Eren said before looking back at me a question ready but I cut him off.
"No, he didn't find out. I told him I found them on the street." I mentally sighed hearing it again. It sounded like the dumbest excuse there is, but apparently, Erwin believed it which as all I need. I'm glad he didn't decide to question me further about it because I might have contradicted myself then and there.
"Oh," Eren let out a sigh of relief.
"He believed that bull?" Mikasa asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I guess so. He didn't say much about it."
"Let's hope he doesn't think more about it then. He might start to put two and two together. Especially since My case is custom made." She groaned.
"It's what?" I looked at her.
"I made it online. My design my coloring, everything." She looked at me.
"Does he know that?" Eren asked looking to me and Mikasa.
"I don't think so. I don't know if he's ever seen me with my phone." She shrugged.
"His memory is pretty good, but I don't think it's that good," I said more hopefully than factually.
"Well, worrying about it now isn't going to solve anything," Eren took a deep breath and grabbed his phone off the table. Mikasa followed suit.
"We should head home," Mikasa suggested.
"Is it safe to leave?" Eren looked at me.
"It's been long enough he should have left by now," I said checking the time. I walked over to the window and looked outside. I couldn't see Erwin's car anywhere. "Looks safe."
Eren nodded and headed towards the door. I walked him out to his car and told him that I would be over in a little. I watched him drive away and already I couldn't wait to head over to his apartment.
I headed back to my apartment so Mikasa could pack a bag for Armin's house. After she packed a bag I ran to the store and let her pick up some snacks for their sleepover while I picked up some groceries for the next week.
"Done," Mikasa said meeting me at the produce section.
"I'm just about done too." I could pick up the rest of the stuff later. I got enough groceries for the next few days so it didn't really matter to me if I left now.
I paid and we headed to Armin's. I dropped her off before heading back home. I put away all of the groceries when I heard a knock at the door. I excitedly walked over to it before opening it. Sure enough, it was Levi.
He was smiling as big as I was. I know I just saw him a few hours ago, but I was still so happy to have him here with me right now. I grabbed his hand and lead him into my apartment pulling him into a kiss as the door shut behind us.
His lips were soft as ever. It felt like it's been forever since I felt them up against mine. I can't help but put my hand on the small of his back and pull him closer to me. My other hand moves on its own from his cheek to the back of his head running my fingers through his hair. I pulled away for a second and he looked at me with a smile.
"Do you mind if we do dessert before dinner?" I asked looking to Levi hoping he knew what I meant.
"I'm always up for dessert first," Levi laughed and let me lead him to my room.
