Game Nights
(Levi and Eren are playing multiplayer games in Eren's bedroom. Tonight is Mortal Kombat)
Levi:
(putting down the controller) It's like you're not trying.
Eren:
No, I'm just not cheating by spamming cheap moves like someone!
Levi:
(eye roll)
Eren:
So you don't deny spamming that drop kick move to fuck and back.
Levi:
No.
Eren:
(sigh) Let's pick another game.
Levi:
If me beating you injures your pride so much... (Eren frowns angrily)...why keep inviting me over?
Eren:
Because I will beat you.
Levi:
Alright. It's your pick.
Eren:
Oh. I don't think there's anything else. Since you're not into 1st person shooters.
Levi:
Speaking of getting into things...
Eren:
(exhales nervously as Levi moves from his seat on the floor, up on to Eren's bed)
Levi:
... what do you think of that manga I lent you?
Eren:
Oh! Um... (shoulders slump in defeat) I kinda haven't started it.
Levi:
(tucking a finger under Eren's chin) Why am I not surprised?
Eren:
(suppresing a gulp at Levi's finger on his skin) It-it's your fault y'know.
Levi:
(amused) Really?
Eren:
Yeah well, we've spent all this week together after school. And when you leave I have History assignments from Mr Smith.
Levi:
(leans back and sighs) Tch. Ass-licker.
Eren:
(rushing forward)Am not!
Levi:
(grinning, inches from Eren's scowl) You're so easy to wind up.
Eren:
Am not.
Levi:
Eren, are you straight?
Eren:
...
Levi:
Never mind. Start that manga tonight, yes?
Eren:
No way. You can't ask something like that then change the topic.
Levi:
I just did.
Eren:
Leeevi!
Levi:
What, do you have an answer for me?
Eren:
I'm... (sigh) I've always been straight. I think.
Levi:
OK.
Eren:
butstillkindawanttodateyou! Oh my god... (thrusts his face in his palms)
Levi:
(shuffling on his knees to a fast breathing Eren, gently peeling his hands from his screwed up face.) Eren.
Eren:
(shaking his head)Just pretend I didn't say-
Levi:
Eren. Shhh. It's OK.
Eren:
(creaking open an eye, then the other, finding himself being held upright by afirm grip on his upper arms) But I just said...
Levi:
I heard what you said. (releasing Eren's arms to twirl a finger through his hair and caress his reddening cheek) Eren, I want to date you too.
Eren:
You do?
Levi:
Of course. (lightly kissing Eren's neck, while being scooped closer by Eren's arms) As long as you know... (touching noses to calm the worry in Eren's eyes) ... this doesn't mean I'm letting you win.
