After I finished telling Mikasa about my date we headed back to my apartment. When we got home I had to just stop myself from collapsing on the couch. Instead, I headed straight into the kitchen to make dinner for us. My back was still sore not only from last night's activities but from sleeping on the couch the way I did. I also had a kink in my neck now.

"Hope you're hungry," I said as I started to pull out some food to whip up something.

"Definitely hungry I haven't eaten since school," She said making her way into the kitchen. "You need any help?"

"Nope I've got it," I said before thinking, "actually you can do something if you want to.

"What would that be?"

"Tell me how your day was," I smiled. I was half falling asleep where I stood I needed her to keep me awake.

"Okay?" she seemed really confused by how I asked but she went along with it anyway. "Well, it was a pretty boring day aside from lunch. Some kids started a food fight and like 20 students got detention." She laughed.

"You weren't one of them right?"

"Nope, Armin was though. Only because he got hit in the face twice by Connie and finally decided to retaliate. If he would have waited just 5 more seconds he would have been fine." She laughed.

"Anyone throw food at you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nope, they didn't even dare look at me because they knew I would throw my whole tray back at them." She smiled.

"We taught you well," I laughed. "Anything else happen?"

"Well, my English teacher, Mr. Ackerman, did pull me aside after class."

"Were you trouble?"

"No, he just wanted to see how I was doing or if I needed more time on assignments. He even told me if I needed help to go to him."

"That's nice of him."

"Yeah, he's always been really nice to students, even though most people hardly notice since he's one of the strict teachers. He's actually the only one who asked if I needed any extra time, or who actually gave me extra time at all," she said. It looked like she was thinking of something.

"He sounds like a good teacher."

"Yeah, but no one else really likes him."

"What why?"

"Because he's strict and he tries really hard, harder than most teachers, to get kids to finish their homework."

"So you mean they hate him because he's a good teacher?"

"Pretty much. He's one of my favorite teachers though." She smiled.

"Well, when's the next parent-teacher conference? I'd like to meet him he sounds like he really cares about his students." I asked.

"I think it's in like a month or so," she shrugged. "I'll check out the calendar later."

I finished cooking and we sat down to eat. After dinner, we sat down and watched a movie before I finally called it quits and headed to bed. My phone buzzed right as I was crawling into bed. I checked it and I was glad I did.

"Are you free tomorrow night?" Levi had asked.

I typed back a quick response. "Only if you are."

"How would you like to have another movie night?"

"I'd love that," I texted back. Tomorrow was Friday night. Mikasa usually stays at a friends house, and I know neither of us has work on Saturday meaning we could stay up a little longer.

I was going to tell him that I was going to bed, I really was, but then we got to talking and I didn't want to stop. Whenever I talk to him I get butterflies in my stomach and my cheeks get red. It makes me happy to talk to him. Before I knew it two hours had gone by before I could barely keep my eyes open. I wanted to keep talking but I didn't want to fall asleep on him.

"I'm going to head to bed, sorry but I'm really tired," I texted.

He texted back instantly. "Okay get some rest goodnight."

"Goodnight, I love you," I texted back without a second thought. And set the phone down. I had half closed my eyes before realizing what I had just done. I quickly picked my phone back up and was about to text an apology when a new message came through.

"I love you too." it read and I just stared at it and I didn't know what to do. That just happened. I really just did that and he really just replied.

I panicked and I clicked the call button. "Hello," Levi said with a bit of amusement in his voice.

"Did that just happen?" that question was meant to stay in my head but it popped out just like the I love you did, without a second thought.

He just laughed at first, "yeah I guess it did," he finally said.

"I didn't even realize I sent that. I'm sorry if that's rushed," I quickly said.

"It's okay, I didn't even realize what had happened until you called," he laughed again. "It's super rushed now that I think about it, but I mean maybe it's not that bad if neither of us had to hesitate or second guess ourselves," he said.

"I guess you're right," I said with a smile.

"Eren."

"Yeah?"

"I thought you were really tired?" He asked.

"Well now I'm wide awake," I laughed. How could I not be after that?

"Well, I'm not busy if you want to stay up and talk?" he said and I knew I would be even more tired tomorrow but hell would this be worth it.

Another hour had passed before we hung up. After we hung up I texted Jean and told him what happened. I didn't expect him to answer but my phone started to ring almost instantly.

"Eren what the fuck?" Jean had said right as I answered. "The one thing I told you not to do what rush the I love yous."

"I know I know, it was an accident but hey he said it back!" I said happily.

"You're lucky you didn't scare him off." He sighed.

"Yeah I know, but I'm just so happy right now," I said with a smile. "Wait what are you doing up so late?"

"Sucking Marco's dick," he said it so calmly.

"Then why the fuck did you call me?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"To yell at the dumbass who says I love you in the first week of dating, now that that's done I'm busy," he said hanging up the phone, but not before I heard Marco let out a moan. God, he couldn't wait until I was off the phone to continue.

I laid back down and stared at the ceiling. Well, one thing was for sure, I was no longer tired. I had all this energy now and nowhere to relieve it. Well, not nowhere. I poked my head out of the room to see if Mikasa was still up.  The lights were off and her door was closed. She must have gone to bed already. Perfect. I went back in my room locked the door and grabbed my phone before typing in the search bar.

Tomorrow I'll have to bail on Hanji, and our movie night, but she has a skype date with her girlfriend so she shouldn't be too upset with me. I finished making the homework packets before heading to bed. I couldn't fall asleep after realizing what Eren and I had said. I never said it that quickly before. But the thing that was bugging me was how effortlessly I said it. I've never said those words in any of my other relationships, but I typed it back as if I said it all the time.

It almost scared me of how easy it was to type that to him. No hesitation, no second thought about doing so, and no regretting it afterward. Though it scared me typing it so effortlessly I don't regret it. I've never felt this way about anyone before. All the people I dated before him even after months of dating I never felt the urge to say these words too anyone, but when I said them back to Eren it just felt right.

If I was more naive I might even think that we're soulmates however, I don't believe in those. To cheesy.

I texted Hanji, half to torture her and half to actually just relieve some of this news. I texted her telling her what happened knowing she couldn't ask questions back.

I watched as the read recite popped up. Next, the speech bubble popped up and disappeared at least 10 times before one message came through. "Holy shit," she had typed back.

Holy shit indeed. I just laid there in bed waiting for sleep to come. It took longer than normal, but my thoughts never stopped swirling. Even after I fell asleep my thoughts started seeping into my dreams.
