Warning: like two small smut scenes? Not even that smutty to be honest
**
You sighed turning on your side, your back was pressed against Eren's chest as his arms were around you, his chin was resting against your shoulder and you could feel his breath against your neck. He was asleep, he was the only one who had slept well that night.

Your eyes were closed, but you couldn't rest for shit. Not after your meeting with Erwin anyway, that was one of those unexpected things that could ruin your already bad mood. His words resounded in your mind in a loop, it was hurting you.

"What do you want to talk about?" You had asked sitting in his car, your hands were shaking at the thought that maybe Levi had sent him to talk to you, you didn't know if that's what you wanted or feared.

Erwin looked at the college garden in front of the parking lot. "You found a new boyfriend?" He asked, no judgment in his voice, just pure curiosity.

You bit your lip. "He's not... he likes me." You muttered shyly. "I thought I could give him a chance, I don't know." Eren's smile after that kiss was impressed in your mind, how could turn him down and destroy his happiness? You simply couldn't. "I don't want to make him unhappy."

The blonde man nodding understanding. "I see, but are you happy?" He asked looking at you with his deep blue eyes, you were taken aback by that question.

He could see how your eyes were sad and off, you looked like shit in general. You looked as if you hadn't slept in months even if you did sleep during the day and stay up at night, you weren't wearing any makeup and wore just a pair of sweat pants and a hoodie. "I'm trying." You whispered.

He sighed. "What's going on Y/n? Levi won't talk to me. He only said you broke up with him."

You bit your lip trying to repress the tears, again. "Yes, I was the one... how can we break up if we were nothing?! He was pretty clear about that." You snorted annoyed. "Whatever, I decided to end it after he told me my feelings were fake or something." You folded your arms on your chest.

"Or something?"

"Look Erwin, I appreciate you checking on me, really. I know you want to protect Levi as well, but I'm not the enemy, you think I wanted to leave him in the first place?" You asked, your high tone sounding more desperate than the usual. "I love him, that's what I told him that day, even after he had done something I didn't like. He told me it was a crush and that I wasn't really in love with him and he wasn't either. I threatened to leave, he said he could find many girls way better than me, so here I am." You ended your explanation leaving the man next to you speechless. "I'm trying to look out for myself, if Levi can't love me... Eren can."

"I think he loves you." Erwin's words made you snap your head towards him, your jaw almost dropped as you stared at him waiting for explication. "I can't be sure about it, of course, but Levi has been acting... different. I've never seen him so upset in all my life, he's truly hurt."

"That makes the both of us." You commented snarkily and frowned. "He never called, not a message, nothing. What was I supposed to do? I'm trying to get better." You leaned against the seat and closed your eyes trying to think. "He's probably already found a new girl, give him a few days."

"You're young and he's... difficult. But you work together, maybe if you could step forward and-"

"No." You cut him off and he blinked confused.

"Pardon?"

"I said no. Erwin, what we had was based on sex and money, here, I said it. If I go back and ask him to talk or something, he'll think I want his money, and I don't care about it." You opened the door ready to get you. "As you said, you don't know if he loves me or if it's just your supposition, and I'm not taking any chances." You got out and forced a smile. "If... if he'll ever want to talk to me, I'll be happy to discuss the matter, but I already opened up to him about how I feel. It's his turn." You closed the door, waved gently, and then walked away.

Rethinking about it made your stomach hurt. Erwin just wanted to help, but he didn't know the whole story and probably didn't even know his friend that well.

Of course, you weren't able to move on just like that, it would've taken your time, a lot of it and you didn't know how to tell Eren. "Hey." You whispered turning to face him, he had his eyes closed and his mouth semi-opened and small snores were almost audible. You smiled looking at him, the main difference between him and Levi was that he was soft, Eren knew when it was time to lose his pride and become kinder when you were around.

He yawned slightly and opened slowly his eyes looking at you. "Good morning." He murmured with his raspy voice as he hid his face inside the crook of your neck.

That sounded so cliché, but it reminded you of your mornings with Levi, when you would wake up after him and he wouldn't let you go from his hug, most of the time he would like to stay on top of you as you played with his hair and he kissed all your chest. You smiled unintentionally at the thought of that.

"Mhm, I don't want to get up," Eren muttered and you realized that you were spending your time with him and not the short grumpy man. With a sigh you put your hand through his hair massaging his head, a small moan escaped his lips pressed against the skin of your neck. "Are you going to school today?"

"I don't know." You whispered, your eyes locked on the window near the bed, the sun was already up and you had heard Mikasa and Armin leaving early because their classes started way earlier than yours. "Maybe I'll just study on my own for a few days until I'll feel better."

Eren raised his head and looked down at you, he could notice something different in you, he had started doing so since the day you came crying to his apartment. "You're still feeling bad?" He asked gently while caressing your jaw and moving up to your lips and nose.

"Mhm." You shrugged. "I don't know." The day before you had thought that maybe you could start a new chapter, but then Erwin ruined your plans giving you hope. "I just... I feel broken." You thought out loud.

"Gosh, what did he do to you?" Your best friend, now love interest? You were still confused about that, asked worriedly. "Please, I beg you, tell me what happened so I can make it better."

As those words left his mouth you gulped and parted your shaky lips ready to talk. "I liked my mornings with him, we would stay in bed for half an hour, sometimes we would just cuddle, other times we would straight up have sex." You sighed as memories popped up in your mind. "And then he would drive me to school and make sure I'm safe before going to work."

Eren listened in silence, he knew you had to get things off your chest before he could be able to replace that bastard that had hurt you so bad. "Go on." He took your hand and left a kiss on the back of it.

"What I had with Levi was strange, but in a good way." That was the very first time you said his name in front of someone else than Erwin, and it felt good, you were finally letting all your emotions out. "I met him after a casual hook up, you know? Nothing too important. Then it became routine until he offered me..." You stopped, your lungs felt breathless, what you were about to say could've ruined everything but you hoped Eren was as understanding as he had shown the past days. "He would pay for everything, he would've made sure I was happy and didn't need to depend on anyone else. In exchange he wanted my company, we acted like a real couple and no one could tell the difference." You giggled thinking about all those times you had heard people commenting on how cute you looked together.

"So... he paid you to be his girlfriend?" Eren asked confused by all that story.

You shook your head. "Have you ever heard about a sugar daddy?" He nodded and you clicked your tongue in your mouth. "That, he was my sugar daddy and I was his sugar baby. Everything was perfect, I was the happiest girl ever and he... I don't know what was his advantage, but he liked so. In the end, I told him I loved him and he rejected me, so I left." You ended emotionless, you didn't feel like crying anymore.

Instead, you felt ashamed and embarrassed of yourself. "Did you love him... because of the money?" He didn't want to upset you nor to insult you in any way, he just wanted to understand better.

"Gosh no." You groaned. "I couldn't give two shits about his money, I left all the stuff he bought me at his place. I love him because... I don't know, because he could make me feel ways I had never experienced before." You frowned and covered your face. "That's fucked up."

Eren sighed and got on top of you, his knees at both sides of your body. "You still love him."

"It's been a week or so, what the fuck."

"You're right. I know it must be very hard, but the best thing you can do is move on with your life and look for a new way to go back at your past life." But you didn't want that, your life before Levi was just boring and problematic, you couldn't handle that kind of stress anymore. "If you let me, I'll help you get over him." He lowered his head and kissed your cheek.

"You really would try to be with me even if I'm in love with another man?" You whispered cupping his face with your hands, the idea of doing that was so fucked up for many reasons.

"If you're willing to be with me, it means that you want to move on and you want to do that with me by your side." He brushed his nose against yours and you just stared at his emerald eyes. "We can work this out."

"I don't know, I don't want to use you to move on, that would be wrong." You caressed his cheek with a sigh.

"You're not using me, I'm the one proposing it." He pecked at your lips and you closed your eyes waiting for something to happen, any sign of goosebumps, shivers, or even a small sparkle to tell yourself that you really were into him. "So? What do you say?" He smirked against your mouth.

As you were about to speak up and tell him about your doubts, you felt his hand moving from your knee and sliding up to your things, it stopped shortly after on your hip and your breath got heavy. And now you were horny again.

He didn't wait for your answer and kissed you again, using his tongue to explore your mouth as his hands slightly squeezed your body, it felt good... but it didn't feel great. Morning sex was good only if you were very excited, or else it was rather annoying.

What was the reason for doing all that if you couldn't feel the same towards him? You were going to break his heart, and if you were going to like him eventually, it would've taken more time than just a fucking week.

With your last trace of lucidity, you placed your hands on Eren's bare chest and pulled him slightly away. "Stop." You shook your head and got out of bed. "It's too early, I can't." You folded your arms and looked at him shyly.

He gulped and sat up on the bed. "Sure, as I said, I can wait." He got up and smiled. "Are you ok? I hope I didn't do anything-"

"You didn't." You smiled back. "I'm just overwhelmed right now." You passed your hand through your hair and sighed. "We should get ready." You opened his room's bed and heard the doorbell ringing. "I'll get it, it's probably Armin." Eren nodded and went into the kitchen to make some breakfast.

When you opened the door, your jaw almost dropped as you stared at the man in front of you. It had been a week, yet he still managed to look at his best with his elegant suit and brushed hair, his eyes held the same glare he used all the time. "You're late for college." He said slowly and you widened your eyes. "Get ready, we'll talk on the way."

"What the fuck?!" You almost yelled, what was that? Some kind of joke? But he wasn't laughing, to be honest, you had seen him laugh just a few times. "You disappeared for an entire fucking week and then you come here and you want to drive me to school?"

"I see you understand." He replied with his calm, yet sharp, tone.

Your hands clenched into two fists. "How about: hello? How have you been?" You muttered sarcastically, he raised his eyebrows making you even angrier.

Well, so much for starting a new life without him.

"What happened?" Eren walked towards you and stood behind you to see who was at the door, he froze on the spot as he recognized that face from that day in the college's garden. "Oh."

Levi tilted his head looking at Eren's bare chest, then he scanned your black shorts and the shirt that was way too big to be yours. "So I leave one week and you already fuck another kid? So much for love." He snorted rolling his eyes.

That comment was the straw that broke the camel's back, you stepped forward and, before you knew what you were doing, you slapped his cheek as hard as you could. He didn't say anything, he simply touched the red spot on his face and glared at you, Eren was shocked by your actions and noted to himself not to upset you in the future. "So you still think I'm a big slut, huh?" You snapped.

Levi took a deep breath trying to calm down. "I'm here to talk." He said after a few moments of silence.

Eren frowned. "You got some guts to come here after what you've done!" He exclaimed, his arm surrounded your waist protectively and Levi had to contain himself from punching the kid. "You used a girl, and not any girl, Y/n is worth more than anything you could buy with all your fucking money. I suggest you let her alone."

But the man had other plans. "I wasn't talking to you now, was I?" He commented and Eren stepped forward aggressively, but you stopped him immediately.

"Stop, this is getting ridiculous." You snorted rubbing your fingers against your forehead. "What do you want to talk about?" You asked then looking at the black-haired man, he slightly smirked seeing how he still had an effect on you, he could tell by the way you were holding your hands together as you always did when you were nervous.

"Everything." He shrugged. "It's now or never." He added then trying to hurry because he wanted to be at work in time.

You tapped your foot on the floor trying to decide what to do, you knew that if you followed him in his car and talked to him... you would've gone back to him almost immediately. "You don't have to if you don't feel comfortable." Eren placed his hand on your shoulder. "I'm sure short stuff will understand."

Levi ignored the kid, the only thing he was probably good at was being tall, no brain, and no character. "Fine." You spoke up. "But I'm not going to school today."

That was new, he was surprised because you hated to skip class since you were very serious about your studies. "How about a drive? I'll bring you back home."

You agreed and went to grab your phone and put on your shoes, you didn't worry about changing since he had seen you naked, you didn't think it would've mattered.

You followed him silently and got in his car, then he finally started it and drove away from the apartment you had barely left those days. "You look like shit." He started the conversation and you rolled your eyes.

"I've been better."

"I know." He answered composedly. He had decided to come to talk to you the night before, he couldn't sleep because of your absence in bed and felt tired because of that, he wanted you back but he knew it couldn't be that easy. "That boyfriend of yours seemed pissed by my presence."

You scoffed. "First of all, he's not my boyfriend... I guess." You added in almost a whisper because the truth was you didn't know what was going on between the two of you. "And second, can you blame him? You are known for making me cry."

"You know I can make you happy." He turned to face you, but you deviated his eyes and focused on the window. "What you said that day... did you really mean it?" He asked suddenly and you bit your lip to restrain yourself from making a scene.

"I'm not going back there, you said what you thought." You replied back calmly. "You told me I depended on you and that you didn't need me, you could find many girls better than me. So I did what I had to do, leaving you was the only way I could keep some dignity."

Levi pulled into his gated and only then you realized that he had brought to his house, but decided not to say anything about it. "I went through your stuff." He admitted, you turned surprised by his words. "I was afraid you were getting yourself into something dangerous since you never told me what you were doing with all that money. I found out about the student loan and thought that it could make your life easier if I had just paid it for you."

"You could've asked, I would've told you."

"You're too proud, you wouldn't have." He disagreed, he wasn't wrong but the idea of someone else paying such a debt never felt right for you. "When I saw you so angry, I thought you were being ungrateful, thinking about it I should've listened to your reasons."

That was a start since you had never heard the man apologizing once during your time with him. "Yeah... I was very upset, but that's not the reason I left." Paying your debt wasn't in fact the main reason that pushed you to move out and try to forget him, you knew he did that for your own good. "You said you didn't need me."

Levi realized how much he had fucked up only that moment, all the things he had said suddenly coming back to mind but he tried to keep his emotions bottled as always. "Why did you send back that money?" He decided to ask instead.

You frowned at that question, a stupid one for the matter. Was he so blind? "Because I don't want your money, I don't need it." Even after losing everything, you'd rather be homeless than accepting his pity. "I never wanted your money in the first place, I liked being with you."

"You did." He snorted leaning against his seat. "How are you dealing with a rent and daily supplies?" He was worried, the last thing he wanted was to leave you in a rough situation because... he still cared about you. "Is your boyfriend paying for you?"

"Eren isn't paying shit, and stop calling him that." In your eyes he was behaving like a kid that didn't get what he wanted, he was a grown-ass man and couldn't behave like that for shit. "I'm thinking about going back home and stay with my dad." You announced and he slightly widened his eyes surprised by your surrender. "He said I'm welcome home and he'd be happy to have me back."

"So you'd rather go back to that shitty man instead of asking me to help you?" His voice sounded offended and you rolled your eyes not understanding what was all that about. "How much do you need? 5k? Done, you want more? You just need to say the word."

"What do you want, Levi?!" You raised your voice looking at his piercing grey eyes, you weren't a thing anymore, so why caring instead of looking for a new girl to fuck.

"You."

"What the fuck." You whispered more to yourself than to him, your mind had already been a mess but now it was getting worse, he was messing it up with his mood swings and indecision. "I won't fuck for money anymore."

"I don't want that either." He agreed and you raised an eyebrow unsure of what was going on. "I want you back with me, that's it."

You took a deep breath, the fact that your heart was beating way faster than usual wasn't a good sign, deep down you hoped he was telling the truth, but still, where had he been the past days? Why hadn't he called you nor texted you? "Why?"

"Because I do need you, you make me a less shitty person, I was happy when you lived with me." He admitted and leaned towards you, your faces were dangerously close but you couldn't move, it looked as if you were in a trance. "I want you to be my official girlfriend."

You gasped, you didn't expect that one, not from Captain Grumpy Cleaning anyway. Being Levi Ackerman's girlfriend? The dream you had since you had started that sugar daddy bullshit months ago, but were you willing to go back to him? "Why are you telling me this now?" You whispered disappointed.

Levi sighed, he raised his hand and caressed your cheek, you melted against his big and strong hand, you felt that sparkle that you were missing so much. Your skin got goosebumps as he traced his jaw with his fingers, frowning every time a small sigh left your mouth. "I needed to think about it, then I saw you with that kid and it irritated me, you are mine, from the day I spotted you at that fucking club." He brushed your hair away from your face and lowered his eyes on your neck where his last hickey was still somehow visible even if it was small and almost fully healed. "If you do really love me-"

"It's funny how you keep doubting on my love for you when I should be the one afraid of you." You snapped grabbing his hand. "I am here, do you think I'd accept to go in a car with you... alone? I sent you back your money, I gave you space and I didn't take any of the shit you bought me, what else do I have to do to prove it to you?"

"You're right. I knew you loved me since the day you opened up to me." Levi admitted and interlocked his fingers with you. "I did the same, but I've never really shared my emotions with people, I ask you to be patient on that." He cleared his throat when you pouted disappointed. "What I'm trying to say is... I'm in love with you, I want this to work with us."

Guilt, that's the only sensation you had going on, Levi had just confessed his feelings for you, and you were trapped in a two-way road, you had a choice to make and it wasn't as easy as you had wished it to be. "I didn't fuck Eren." You repeated out loud and the man was taken aback since you had already said that not long before. "But... I did kiss him and he asked me to let him help me get over you." You explained scared to look in his eyes and find his usual hard glare. "I've been thinking about it, I thought you would have never come back for me."

Levi's fingers grabbed your chin raising your head so he could have a look at your intimidated expression. "What did he do?" He asked harshly.

"He... kissed me." You whispered.

You knew that look, he was angry, angry that someone else had touched you and made you feel certain ways. He pulled your face and connected his lips to yours, the contact so unexpected made you whimper in satisfaction. As he kept moving his mouth against yours, you could finally let down the wall you had been keeping up for the past week, feeling the butterflies in your stomach and the sensation that you wanted this, you needed this. It was so much better, his roughness and dominance excited you and made you feel safer. When his tongue stuck in your mouth, you placed your hands on his shoulders to get more stability.

With a quick move, he picked you up from your waist and placed you on his lap. "What else did he do?" He was breathless from the kiss, but he was too invested in the moment to give a shit.

"He touched me under my shirt." You recalled thinking about the day before, Levi's eyes were burning with jealousy as he quickly placed his hands on your belly and then moved up to your breast receiving a moan from you. "Ah, yes." You whined when his fingers pinched your nipples. "Gosh, I missed this."

"I bet that kid couldn't make you feel as good as I do." He muttered against your ear before slightly biting your earlobe, you gasped moving your hips against his lap. "Not so fast, you're not getting anything from me until we find a solution." He stopped his movements and raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?"

It wasn't an easy question, on one hand, you had Eren who had always been there even if you weren't exactly pulled by him sentimentality speaking, in the other hand you had Levi which was the person you had feelings for but had let you down. Your trust and daddy issues weren't helping on the matter, if you had to go with the safe choice then you would've answered Eren without even a second doubt.

But you weren't about safe choices, that's the main reason why you had hooked up with Levi the first time the two of you met, decision after decision you had become happier until that day, but now he was there asking you to be his girlfriend and telling you that he loved you just as much as you did. "Things are going to be different." You spoke up after a few minutes of silence. "If you want me to stay with you, I need you to be open and communicate more about anything." You explained resting your head on his chest, you could hear his heart beating fast. "I won't be just the little girl you're taking care of, I'll be the girl you're sharing your days with."

He placed his chin on top of your head. "Will you stop doing tiktoks about zodiac signs?"

"Fuck no, you're such a Capricorn."

"Fine." He snorted. "So, will you be my girlfriend?"

"I will." You smiled cuddling up against his chest as he surrounded your body with his arms. "But wait, aren't you late for work?"

"I don't care, they'll wait." He opened the car's door and you both got out. "C'mon, you need to get ready to go to school, I'm not letting you go back to your father, your stuff is already here." He grabbed your hand and walked you inside your now shared house.

"Thank you, Levi." You kissed his cheek and his lips curved into a small smile. "For everything."

Not a big fan of the ending tbh, but my mind was way too tired to collaborate. Hope you liked it! Let me know in the comments! Xx
