We got back to the table, and Levi was fuming. The annoyed and frustrated look on his face told everyone he clearly didn't want to be around people. I just sat back and smirked as I ate what Erwin called choux à la crème, which is just a fancy way of saying crème puff. Levi sat there quietly mumbling to himself in French as he glared daggers at his crème puff.

I poked Levi on the shoulder, his glare moving from his creme puff to me. Smiling sweetly at him, I motioned towards his creme puff, "Can I eat yours?" Levi rolled his eyes pushing the dessert towards me. "Thanks."

"Thanks for dinner Erwin! I'll see you later Armin." I waved goodbye to my best friend and his "roomate". When I turned to say something to Levi he was already halfway to the car. Jogging a little to catch up to the short man I stepped in front of him holding my hands up. "What's up with you?" Levi gave me a look of utter disbelief, and then he started to laugh. He looked at me from in between laughs. "Are you being serious." I nodded not quite understanding what he was aiming at.

"Every time I try to convince myself I don't have feelings for you, you do something that just reminds me that I do. And then to have you think I would take advantage of you when you were drunk? Do you know how much that hurt to hear! And then today during dinner, doing what you did. I don't understand you. Is that just normal for you or what? Please explain Eren cause I just. Don't. Understand. I like you Eren, and I'm afraid of how you feel.!"

Levi stood before me, tears in his eyes, breathing heavily, and broken. The usually stoic expression was replaced with one of sadness, hurt, and fear. My body froze. How do I react? Respond? All I could do was stare at the man before me who was breaking with every second that passed. I didn't even know I was hugging him till I felt arms weakly push me away, before giving up and gripping my jacket. The man I hold in my arms, was a man I thought could never break. But I was wrong. He is just as much human as I am. The mask he puts on everyday is not who he really his.

I held onto Levi until I felt him calming down. "I like you too Levi." The words left my mouth as a whisper. If Levi weren't this close he wouldn't have heard it. I couldn't help but smile when Levi nuzzled his face into my chest. "I'm glad." We stood like that for a few minutes, before I realized Levi had actually cried himself to sleep. Grabbing the keys from his hand, and picking him up bridal style I carried him to the car and drove us home.
