22. “I’ve seen the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.” ((also pls look at this amazing comic bc this is based on that))

Levi's just in the middle of doing the dishes when a loud knock sounds from the door. The intruding noise echoes through the otherwise quiet apartment and makes him stop dead in his tracks as the wet plate he's holding slips free from his fingers and back into the sink. It's a rare day off for him, so he'd planned to spend it blissfully undisturbed, but apparently the person at his door has decided otherwise. The knocking persists as he moves to dry his hands, cussing under his breath. As soon as he strides over to the door and sees Eren's irritated face through the peephole, he knows he's so utterly fucked. No. No, no, no, he chants in his head as he leans his forehead against the door, swatting away the tiny floating heart that had appeared at the mere sight of Eren. Maybe if he just stays really still and pretends he's not home Eren will go away. "Levi! Open this door right now," his voice sounds from the other side, laced with irritation. Levi blows out the long breath he's been holding in, his hand coming to rest over the door handle as he looks at Eren again. His cheeks are dusted with a light pink shade and there are a few lingering snowflakes clinging on to the collar of his jacket. If it weren't for the sour look on his features and the frighteningly determined curve of his mouth, Levi's pretty sure he could keep staring at him all day. However, he can't, since it seems like Eren's about to kick down his door any minute now. He slams his fist against the sturdy wooden surface and causes Levi to jump back. "I know you're in there, I've got all fucking day to stand out here," he warns, and something in his voice says that he's completely serious. Finally, Levi sets his mouth into a thin line and waits for the hearts to dissipate before cracking the door open just slightly. "I'm sick. Don't come in," he lies, but those words have barely left him before Eren's yanking the door open. "What the fuck is your problem?" Eren spits out from between clenched teeth, glaring daggers at him. "You've been ignoring me for three weeks." "No, I haven't," he lies, staring resolutely at his own feet. All that's going through his head is the damn hearts, those little fuckers that had started popping up almost exactly three weeks ago whenever he as much as heard the sound of Eren's flowing laughter or caught a glimpse of his smile. "I'm just not feeling well, that's all." "I've seen the way you look at me when you think I don't notice," Eren says then, and Levi swears that all the air in his lungs suddenly leaves him. "It's not-" he starts off, but Eren interrupts him with a swift wave of his hand. "Like I'm a damn flesh-eating slug or something. Like it's killing you just to be in the same room with me," he says, voice tinged with such hopeless sadness that Levi feels a wave of guilt wash over him. It's not like that at all, he wants to say, in fact, it's the exact opposite. Every single moment he has to spend with Eren's he's so damn afraid that those hearts will betray his affection for his friend and ruin everything between them. Every single moment, he's fucking suffocating with the amount of wild, raw love that must always remain hidden. "You're just imagining it," he states, a strained edge in his voice. He's still examining his own socks like they're the most important thing in the world, because he's sure that if he takes one look at Eren's face he'll blurt out everything. "You should go." "No!" Eren snaps, reaching out to grab Levi by his shoulders and taking a step forward. "Look at me!" His pulse pounding in his ears, he tries to squirm out from Eren's hold, but it does little to no good. Even worse, Eren grabs on to his jaw and forces Levi to meet his eyes, and damn it, the boy looks so broken. His beautiful emerald eyes are full of both rage and sorrow, searching out Levi's face for something, anything, that would explain this sudden distance that's come between them. He's so close, Levi realizes just now. So close that he can count each one of the light freckles dotted over Eren's cheeks. To his horror, he catches a glimpse of something red, smokey and distinctly heart-shaped from the corner of his eye. Go away, he tries to tell it, still captivated by Eren's face so close to his, but it's too late now because Eren's mouth drops open in shock, his gaze fixed on to the hearts floating next to Levi's head. "What," he starts off, eyes adorably wide. "Me?" "You should go," Levi repeats, so mortified that he cannot even move. The worst has happened and he's fucked up irreversibly, so what else is there to say? Then, instead of pushing him away, Eren pulls him close and rests their foreheads together, a small laugh leaving him. "You're such an idiot," he sighs. Just before he seals their lips together in a kiss, Levi's sure he sees an another floating heart, different from his both in shape and consistensy, more fluffy than smokey, appear out of thin air, and just like that, all his concerns are gone.
