Levi's POV

Breathing heavily, I closed my eyes for a moment. I gripped my fingers tightly around the object I was currently sat in front of. The vents blew warm air towards my face, cooling off my reddening cheeks from the bitter fall weather turning to winter.

My heart was pounding. I couldn't do this shit. I'm going to end up killing myself, and Hanji along with me; who was sitting beside me.

"Levi, man the fuck up." She hissed at me, leaning over to slap me upside the head. "This is easy as hell."

My eyes snapped open and I went to glare at her from the side. "Easy for you to say. I don't like these."

She rolled her eyes, and leaned over me to grab the seat belt and strap it around me. "Shut up and drive."

"No." I muttered, removing my hands from the steering wheel and crossed them against my chest instead. "I refuse."

"God, you are so stubborn." She uttered before leaning over again and pulled a lever down which made the car jerk. I jumped and grabbed the wheel in surprise.

"Are you trying to get us killed?!" I yelled out, staring at her as if she was crazy.

"Calm down! I just put the car in gear. All you have to do now is push that pedal with your foot, and we'll be moving." She informed me, smirking at my frightened expression.

"I don't want to move." I replied, making sure my foot was far away from the pedal she pointed at.

"You're going to have to move if you want to learn how to drive, little boy."

"When did I say I want to learn how to drive? Because it's actually the complete opposite!" I replied and raised my voice.

She slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand and sighed loudly. "Levi, If you don't move, so help me god, I will force you to. At least an inch, just move an inch!"

I narrowed my eyes at her. "What do I do to stop?"

"You push the other pedal with the same foot, so you have to remove it from the gas pedal." She said, pointing to the correct pedals by my feet. "Just move an itsy bitsy bit!"

I sighed loudly and gave in. I hesitantly moved my right foot closer to the gas pedal and gently pressed it, and as soon as I felt the car move I quickly switched over to the break pedal. I grunted in displeasure. "I am not enjoying myself right now." I muttered to myself.

"You did it! See, that was an improvement!"

"So I'm done?" I asked in fake excitement.

"Not in the least bit! Once you drive up to that sigh - don't run into it - and make a full circle, you will be done." She replied, smiling at me.

I glared at the sign that was in front of us by about 20 feet. We were currently in a big parking lot, only a few cars were here but they were all parked closer to the front. So I didn't really have a big chance of hitting any of them. But don't put that past me.

"I fucking hate my life." I muttered and pressed the gas pedal once more and it started to move forward. I freaked and quickly switched back over to the break pedal.

"No, no, no! You got this!" Hanji yelled out, slapping the glove department that was in front of her. "Go!"

"You are the worst teacher ever." I said and went back to pushing on the gas pedal. It started to move again but I didn't move my foot.

"Look at you go! Aw, I'm the best teacher ever." She said to herself, obviously ignoring my previous comment.

Once close to the sign, I stopped the car and looked over to glare at her again. "Don't get cocky."

"I can't get cocky if I don't have one like you do -- oops, nevermind." She shot back, smirking.

I quickly grabbed the front of her shirt and puller her closer to me before I slapped her forehead. "Don't forget your life is currently in my hands, shitty eyes."

She scoffed, "Levi, you wouldn't try killing me. You love me too much."

I raised an eyebrow, "bitch, you wanna try?"

She rolled her eyes, ignoring me. "Make a circle now. Press the gas pedal while you turn the steering wheel."

Sighing, I pressed the pedal and began to turn the wheel to the left. The car started to move while turning.

"Just make sure you don't turn too sharp, make the circle big so you have room to press the gas." She informed me right beside by ear.

"If you don't shut up I'm going to let out some gas for you."

"You're so gross." She said while laughing.

After I finished the circle, I turned to her and sighed with relief. "Done."

"You did good!" She poked my cheek, trying to get me to smile. I couldn't help but grin a little before brushing her hands away from me. "You seem a lot happier, ya know?"

My face returned to his normal flat look, and I looked at weird. "What do you mean?"

"With Eren." She replied.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "There's nothing going on with Eren and I."

"Oh shut the fuck up, it's obvious!" She said after slapping my arm.

"Why would you think that?"

"The way you look at him. Cheesy, I know, but it's true. You just look at him with a happy look in your eyes, even if you're just rolling your eyes in fake annoyance. You just seem so much happier." She replied. "Happier than you used to be, anyway." She added.

I shrugged, giving in on her suspicion about Eren and I. "Well, anything can make me happier than I used to be. I never was happy with Erwin."

"Aw, hunny. I know you weren't, and I'm sorry I didn't step in before. Even when I knew something was wrong." She said, and rubbed my shoulder comforting.

"It's not your fault, Hanji. It's mine. I shouldn't have stayed with him so long." I replied, falling back into the car's seat with a loud sigh. "I suck."

"Oh shut up, you don't suck." She playfully pushed my shoulder. "You're epic."

I snorted, "don't use that word ever again."

She chuckled and patted my head. "Eren really likes you." She said after a short quiet moment.

I felt the corners of my mouth slowly lift up. "Yeah?"

"Mhmmm," she hummed loudly. "A lot."

"He's not such a bad kid." I mumbled while chuckling.

"Aw, Levi is a crushie."

"Shut the fuck up, I'm still able to drive us into that pole."

I glared at the laptop screen, as if it would make the stress go away. Words danced on the screen, but my hands weren't moving. I didn't know what to type. I know I needed to just write, and get this paragraph done with so I could move onto the next.

But my mind was just blank.

Writers block. Hurts like a fucking bitch and stressed you out to the max.

"Fuck this shit." I grumbled, pushing myself from the computer chair and stomped into the kitchen. Grabbing a glass and my new bottle of wine, I poured a small bit into the glass and made my way into the living room and threw my ass on the couch

The house was quiet. We had finally moved into our new house. Which meant no Kira or Hanji jumping around and screaming. The thing is, I wasn't sure if this was a bad or good thing quite yet.

Sloshing the red wine around in my glass, I glared at the wall in front of me. Fucking ugly wall.

"I'm home!" I heard before hearing the front door slam shut.

"Welcome." I muttered, not really caring if he heard me or not.

I heard Eren put his things on the table and slipped his shoes off. A silent moment later I felt his arms wrap themselves around my shoulder from behind and he kissed my cheek. "Hi there." He whispered and smiled against my face.

I huffed out my response, "Hi."

Eren snorted at my grumpiness and wandered into the kitchen. "I take it writing isn't going well right now?"

"Oh no, it's just going fabulous! The words just go from my mind to the computer like silk, it's just fantastic." I replied out, sarcasm dripping from each work I spoke. "No, it's fucking bullshit. This is so much harder than I anticipated it to be."

I heard Eren chuckle while opening the fridge and returned with a small cup of yogurt in his hands. "Don't worry, it'll get better." He sat beside me, resting his head on my shoulder as he spooned yogurt into his mouth.

"Yeah, I hope." I mumbled, using my wine glass free hand to pat his cheek. "How was work?"

I felt him shrug a shoulder, nuzzling the side of his face deeper into my shoulder. "Not bad. I just don't like being away from home so long."

I hummed in reply, burying my nose into his soft hair and kissed his head. We laid in silence, him finishing his yogurt and myself finishing my wine. Our silent moment were comfortable, not awkward in the least bit. They were nice, actually, I enjoyed them.

I enjoyed hearing the soft sound of his steady breathing and watching his eyes droop half close in relaxation. Everything was just nice.

"Missed you." I mumbled into his hair.

He smiled, and his flushed cheeks didn't go unseen. "I missed you, too."

'Meow'

"Oh, there she is!" I said, removing my arm from being wrapped around Eren and I leaned closer to the floor where the black cat sat at, staring at the two of us. "Hi there, little one." I cooed, picking Ravioli up from the floor and cradled her in my arms.

Eren groaned and sat up from his laying position and glared at the cat - who was already glaring at him. "Just when I thought we could have some peace and quiet."

I narrowed my eyes at him and held Ravioli closer to my chest. "Shut up, we had our moment. Let me and her our moment now."

Eren rolled his eyes before grabbing my wine glass and his yogurt cup and took them into the kitchen to clean up. "Don't tell me you have some cat kink now."

"And what would you do if I say I did?" I asked, smirking and rubbed Ravioli's soft head as she started to purr.

"I'd go find you some help, that's what I'd do." He replied, and returned back to the couch.

"Oh really? What would you say?" I put my hand up to my ear in a mock phone shape. "Uh yeah, hey. My boyfriend has some weird pussy fetish. Uh, yeah... Help?" I joked in a fake deep voice.

Eren snorted and rolled his eyes. "I don't sound like that!"

I scoffed, "I beg to differ."

"Shut up." He said and playfully shoved my shoulder but that movement didn't go unnoticed by Ravioli.

She lunged towards Eren's face and used her front claws to grip onto his hair and hissed loudly. Eren sprang up from the couch with a loud scream, forcing the cat off his face.

I bursted in laughter and almost fell off the couch.

"That fucking cat is possessed and you should really look into getting rid of that thing!" He yelled loudly, stepping away from the cat who was currently sitting down and licking her paws as if nothing happened.

"Fuck no! I'm keeping her!" I said in between laughs. "This cat is my favorite!"

Ravioli mewed in response as she looked at me. But not even a moment later she went back to hissing at Eren. "You both are god damn possessed."

I snorted and reached down to grab Ravioli and kissed her nose. "You are just the best god damn cat." She mewed in response.

I heard Eren sigh in annoyance before shifting his weight to his right leg. "Hey, Levi?"

"Hmm?" I hummed in response, glancing up at him and saw he had a bit of a nervous expression resting on his face. His green eyes bounced around while staring at his feet, and he was fumbling with his fingers. "What are you so nervous about?"

"I-I was just wondering... If you would like to go on another date...?" He asked slowly. His question took me by surprise, honestly, so I was quiet for a moment. The silence only made him more nervous, unfortunately, and he quickly stammered random words out. "I mean, if you don't want to - that's totally fine with me. I - I mean, I'm lame and annoying so I really wouldn't blame y-"

"Eren." I cut him off sternly, furrowing my eyebrows at him. "Don't say shit like that again. You're not annoying, and definitely not lame. If I thought you were lame, do you really think I would be living with you right now?"

He blinked twice before replying with his shaky response. "I... Guess you're right."

"God damn I'm right. Say that shit again and I'll slap your mouth." I replied, putting Ravioli down on the floor before continuing. "And to answer your question; yes. I'd love to go on another date with you."

My words instantly brought up his beautiful smile to his face and I'd be lying if I said my lips didn't twitch up into a small smile from the sight. His cheeks were dusted with a light pink tint, telling me he was blushing and that he was happy.

"Thank you." He mumbled, chuckling to himself as he looked back down to his feet.

I sent him a small smile before stepping up closer to him and rested my hand on his shoulder.

"Hey," I whispered, pulling his shoulder towards me, making his face come down towards me. "You're cute." I said right before kissing his pink cheek, which only reddened more.

"I'm home!" I heard a squeaky voice yell out from the entrance of the house. "I brought donuts!"

Eren's eyes widened and ran over to where Armin was with a white box full of donuts. I rolled my eyes, a little irritated that Armin ruined the moment. But him bringing donuts easily erased that feeling.

Walking over to Armin and Eren, I snatched a jelly filled donut from the box and looked up at Eren when he spoke. "We should rent a movie."

I snorted, "Do you really think they're going to have Japanese movies?"

Eren shrugged, "I could probably understand it all."

"What about Armin and I? Just gonna guess what they're saying by their expressions?" I asked before taking a bite from my donut. "Don't think so."

"Well, I-I mean there's always subtitles." Armin cut in, looking in between Eren and I.

Eren snapped his fingers, "Good idea, Armin. See, Levi? I told you he's a genius."

I rolled my eyes once more as Eren ran to put his shoes on. I grumbled under my breath before stuffing my donut in my mouth and grabbing my boots. "The things you kids talk me into, I swear..."

-~-

"How about this one?"

"Ehh, looks boring."

I groaned, putting the movie case back where I found it. "Okay, how about this one?" I asked, picking up a movie that had people holding guns.

Eren shook his head, "I'm not in the mood for action movies."

"Ugh, okay. What are you in the mood for?"

Eren shrugged, holding his finger to his chin as he glanced over the movies on the shelves. "Something not boring and something that isn't an action movie."

"Alright, how about we watch some girly movie, yeah? With a bunch of girls wearing pink clothes and has their hair in pigtails and all they do is giggle and run around. Sounds perfect!" I faked a giggle as I spoke with a fake high pitched voice, which was unfortunately too easy to fake the voice.

Eren turned to glare at me from over his shoulder. "Shut up. We could always do a romance movie."

I signed, "Fine. Just no sappy one that would make me want to wipe at my eyes and say that I'm not actually crying, and that my eyes are just sweating."

Eren chuckled and rolled his eyes before returning back to glance over the movies. He bent down to glance at a movie that was at a bottom shelf. I smirked at my view and quickly gave his back side a firm slap. His head whipped back with huge eyes staring at me. "What the hell was that for?"

I shrugged, "Your butt was just there, I couldn't resist myself."

I saw the corners of his mouth turn up before he stood up straight and moved closer to me. "You're a dork." He whispered and leaned down to place a soft kiss on my cheek. "Now stop staring at instead be searching for a movie, or you're going to make me drag you back home and into the bed."

My eyes widened at his words that were whispered into my ear. By the time I had found words to reply with, he had already brushed past my shoulder and onto another part of the video store. "Damn kid." I muttered to myself and went to look at the movies on the shelf.

I sighed loudly while looking over the movie cases, just looking for something that looks interesting and not too cheesy. Too bad they all looked super cheesy. Most of the cases all had a boy and girl kissing in the sun set, or holding hands on the sidewalk as it snowed. Fuckin' cheesy.

A poke on my shoulder made me jump, and when I went to turn around I expected to see my boyfriend but was surprised with another familiar face that I haven't seen in a long time. It was a girl, taller than me, wide eyes that were almost black, thin lips which were shaped with surprise, and shiny black hair that rested on her shoulders.

"Whoa, Levi?" She whispered with surprise. "I-...."

"Yeah... It's me." I whispered back, feeling my own eyes widen with shock. "Mikasa, oh god. U-Um, whoa."

Mikasa chuckled before grabbing my shoulders and brought me into a 5 second tight hug before pushing me back once she remembered that we were supposed to hate each other.

"U-Uh, you may wanna follow me." I muttered, turning slowly but still keeping my eyes on her, still shocked that she was even here. She followed me, wearing a happy but questioning expression on her face. I glanced around the store, and found the familiar tall boy with a brown mop on his head who was staring at a movie case and he looked like he was attempting to read the movie's description.

I heard Mikasa gasp from behind me when she saw who I was looking at, and soon I saw her run past me and straight towards Eren and she tackled him into the biggest hug. He was looking at me over her shoulder with wide eyes, and pointed to the body hugging him. I gave him a subtle nod, telling him that was who he thought it was. Eren smiled huge and hugged her back.

I would have smiled if it wasn't for the fact that Mikasa pulled back from the hug only to give him a huge kiss right on the lips.
