I leave his office, I know I shouldn't look back at him so I close the door softly behind me and adjust my shirt slightly, still with a smile on my face. I head for the bathroom knowing full well my hair is going to be very dishevled and my face feels hot so I'm probably still pretty flushed.
I open the door to the bathroom and look in the mirror, my suspicions were accurate. I'm a mess. I turn my head to the side and try to sort my hair, that's when I notice the dark spot on my neck and lean in to inspect it. "Wow, you dick." I laugh to myself. A fucking hickey, what is he 14?
I pull out my phone and text him. A hickey, really?
I don't expect a reply so place my phone back into my pocket with a smirk. I look back in the mirror and inspect my neck again, There is literally no way I can cover that up here. Before I step out into the corridor it hits me and I find a smile spread across my face again. Well shit, that just happened. I touch my lips softly and shake my head. Damn.
With a sigh I head back out into the hallway. I make my way back downstairs trying to act as casual as possible. "Hey Erwin." I say as I walk into the studio.
"Hey, everything okay?" He asks me curiously.
"Oh yeah, no all good." I say shrugging my shoulders.
He looks at me suspiciously. "Hm, okay. You were up there for quite a while and Levi doesn't usually ask just anyone to go to his office unless he's either going to fire you--" I look up at him and catch his eyes with mine. "--Or you're being promoted. So which is it?"
"Uh, neither. He just wanted to make sure everything was okay. He had to leave me abruptly earlier so we didn't get to finish our conversation." Shrugging again, turning around and fiddling with the equipment behind me.
"Whatever you say, Eren." He sighs and continues his work. I let out a quiet sigh of relief and smile to myself again. "It's 5.30 by the way. You finished half hour ago."
"Wha--?" I check my watch. "Oh! Okay then. Is there anything you'd like me to do before I go...?" I ask him.
"No, just go. I'm all good. See you tomorrow." He says not looking away from the screen.
"Alright, see you tomorrow, Erwin." I reply and turn to leave.
"Oh and by the way, make sure to cover up that hickey before your shoot tomorrow." I turn abruptly, slapping my hand over my neck as he looks up and smirks. I just stare at him, my eyes wild and begging. "Don't worry, I won't say anything." He gives me a wink and as I'm still in shock I just turn and leave the room without a word.
~~~~~Time skip~~~~~
Well fuck! Should I tell Levi that he knows? Do I just leave it? He said he wouldn't say anything... But what if he does? Holy shit, we're fucked. I'm fucked. My mind is spinning as I pace my bedroom, I came straight home and ran to my bedroom without a word to Mikasa. I have to tell him. Shit.
I get my phone up and hover over the keyboard to text him. Call or text? It'd be weird if i called him right? I'll just text him.
Before I even get a chance my phone goes off in my hand and I recieve a text from the one and only.
L:Hey. U busy?
Do I just tell him now...?
E:No, Whats up?
L:Good. I'm outside.
What? What is he doing here? And why is he outside my house?! I run to my window and peer out onto the street. Levi is casually leaning against his car, phone in hand. He had managed to go home and get changed already and I'm still here contemplating telling him Erwin knows. Shit, i need to text him back.
E:Ok... Gimme 2 mins.
L:Hurry!
I'll tell him later! It's not important.
I quickly fumble around in my wardrobe and grab myself some clothes. I throw on a sweater, jeans and my converses. I look in the mirrow before I leave. Fuck it, it's good enough for now.
I run down the stairs, "Kas, I'm going out, see you later!" I shout behind me as I throw open the door and step outside. As I close the door Levi looks at me and straightens up. "Hey." I say as I approach him.
"Hey." He says. "You eaten food yet?"
"Not yet, no. Why?" I ask him.
"Get in, we're going for food." He says, turning around and opening his car door. I stand there dumbfounded and confused. "You coming or what?" He asks before slamming the door shut behind him.
"Uh... Yeah!" I stumble forward and get into the passenger seat, doing my belt up.
I sit there in silence, still confused about the situation. "Calm down, kid. I don't bite." He then looks at me and smirks as he starts the car. "Much."
I flush completely red and I can feel my face and ears burning. "Le--Levi!" I squeak out.
"Christ kid, you're like a tomato!" He laughs and starts to drive.
"Well, yeah! What do you expect?" I say again, my voice has now reached a pitch I didnt even know existed for me.
He laughs again and it's such a musical sound it brings a smile to my face. "Sorry, you're just too cute when you're wound up."
"You think I'm cute?" My eyes are almost popping out now.
He looks over to me again, with a small smile. "I didn't say that."
"Yes, yes you did! You said and I quote 'You look cute'" I say pointing at him.
"Shut it, I said when you're wound up." He shakes his head.
"Whatever, you think I'm cute!" I say happily. A few moments pass when I remember that Erwin knows about us. "So, uh, Erwin was asking alot of questions earlier about why you needed me...?"
"And? What did you say?" He asks, eyebrows furrowed.
"Nothing! Just that you wanted to make sure everything went okay..." I reply, fiddling with my seatbelt.
"Okay, so why are you bringing it up now?" He asks, confused and notices my actions and that I'm fidgeting in my seat. "Jesus Eren, just spit it out, already!"
"Well..." I sigh and blurt it all out. "He saw the hickey on my neck. He knows what happened up there, Levi!"
"Fuck." He mutters, hitting his steering wheel and shakes his head.
"It's okay! He said he won't tell anyone." I say, trying to calm him down.
"That's not the point, Eren, this is what I was afraid of!" He replies angrily.
"I'm sorry." I say softly.
He groans. "It's not your fault. It's mine. I shouldn't have let things get so heated earlier." He smiles slightly as he remembers.
"I didn't complain either mind..." I say shyly.
"You're right, you most definitely didn't." He looks at me with a sly smile. "It doesn't matter, I'll sort it out."
I turn away with a smile and look out of the window. "Anyway, where are we going?" I ask, watching the scenery go by.
"I told you, I'm taking you for food." He says simply.
"You're taking me for food..?" I ask and turn to look at him again.
"Yes, and I'm paying." He says just as simply.
"So... Like a date?" I ask, leaning forward slightly.
He looks to the side at me again. "If you want it to be, yes."
I smile at him. "Yes, I would really like that."
"Good." He smiles back at me and turns to look back at the road. "Me too."
I sit back in my chair and look out of the window, my smile never leaving my face.
"So, what kind of food do you like?" He asks.
"Anything really, I'm not particularly fussy... You?" I reply and adjust myself in the seat.
"Same. Is italian okay?" He asks me as we pull into a parking lot.
"Yeah, sure. I love italian." He parks the car and we get out. He walks around the car and approaches me.
"Hey." He says again.
I give him a shy smile. "Hey."
"You ready?" He asks softly and I nod my head in reply. He lifts his hand, offering it to me and I take it. He slides his fingers between mine and he squeezes my hand gently making my heart flutter. "Then let's go."
