For once, Eren's sleep was not riddled with nightmares. He slept a dead man's sleep, peaceful and dreamless, making him feel good and well rested when he awoke to sunlight streaming through the room. The sun was just rising, casting a pink hue through the lightening sky. The air was cool, and the sunlight warm on his skin. Eren stretched a bit, recognizing only then that there was a weight on the bed behind him. His body suddenly stiffened, he risked a glance over his shoulder, finding none other than Lance Corporal Levi hugging his back.

As his drowsy fog began to lift, the night before slowly came back to him. Eren took in the slightly sticky feel to his skin, and the love bites all up and down his body. He shifted a bit on the bed and felt a stiff ache in all of his muscles. He groaned, slipping back into his position in Levi's arms. He examined the man's face closely as he laid there-he looked quite different with the furrow from his brow gone. His skin was pale and perfect, dark hair falling delicately over his face and making his strong jawline look softer for once. His arms were wrapped around Eren, as if the man were his own personal body pillow. Eren smiled softly, watching as those gray eyes gently fluttered open. Levi looked at him, his brow creasing immediately upon waking, and smirked.

"Hey," the older called, his voice raspy and deep from just waking up.

Eren grinned at him, "Good morning."

Levi grunted, sitting up slightly on the bed, rubbing his eyes and running a hand through his sleek hair. Eren couldn't help but note how the raven's hair was barely even mussed from sleep-it looked as immaculate as it always did. Gray eyes met sunlit teal.

"You're fucking terrible to sleep with," Levi grumbled, scratching his head.

Eren's face flushed. Had he done something…wrong? He was a virgin, how was he supposed to know how to be good in bed?

"I...I'm sorry I didn't realized I did that bad," he looked up at Levi with an embarrassed frown, "I guess I was just feeling too good to think about how you felt…"

There was a scoffing sound from Levi. Eren looked over, surprised to see his lover laughing at him. His cheeks flared to a bright rose color. He stared embarrassedly at his lap. Levi shook his head, grabbing Eren around the waist and pulling him into a hug.

"I didn't mean sex, dumbass," Levi scoffed. "I was talking about the actual sleeping part. You fucking hogged all the blankets and kicked me like five times."

Eren laughed awkwardly, "Heh, o-ohh…"

One of Levi's hands carded through Eren's hair. He turned his head and kissed the younger's cheek.

"Don't be so self-conscious. You were amazing."

The praise from Levi only made him more embarrassed. He buried his face in Levi's shoulder.

"So...you don't regret doing it with me?" Eren asked, his voice quiet.

Levi sighed, lifting the brunette's chin with a finger and kissing his still slightly swollen lips. The younger looked at him with large green eyes, filled with questions.

"Why the hell would I ever regret making love to the man I love?" Levi asked in reply.

Teal eyes widened, cheeks maintaining that sweet pink blush as Eren gripped tighter to Levi.

"I-I'm sorry I hogged all the blankets," Eren apologized.

Levi left a lingering kiss on his shoulder, murmuring into the tan skin, "If it had really bothered me, I would've kicked you out."

Eren laughed a bit at that, holding close to his lover and breathing in his familiar scent.

"Do you regret it?"

The brunette looked to Levi in surprise. There was slight look of insecurity in those deep gray eyes-a surprising amount of emotion conveyed through those usually stoic eyes. Eren didn't think Levi would ever open up to him as he was now.

"Hell no! I love you! I wouldn't regret it for one instant!"

Levi scoffed, "Good. Because I'm never letting you go, now that you're mine."

Eren's heart fluttered in his chest and he leaned back into Levi, loving the feeling of his strong arms around him. If he had it his way, he'd never have to leave that warm embrace of his lover, not even for an instant.

"You know…" Levi hummed.

Eren squeaked as a hand slithered up his thigh, another sliding down his back and pinching his ass.

"You passed out on me last night after that third round...I think I should get another one to make up for it."

The younger gasped, squirming under Levi's curious hands.

"N-not my fault!" he shrieked, "P-plus, it's not possible! We already did it so much yesterday and my ass is still hurting!"

Levi chuckled darkly, pinching Eren's side and trailing his lips over a purple mark on his neck. Eren groaned, wriggling heavily in Levi's arms until he was finally released. As those arms left his waist, he bolted upright, scrambling out of the bed and getting ready to run away. However, he didn't make it far. Immediately as he began to step forth, a sharp pain ran up his back and he collapsed, face first, onto the ground.

"Shit!" he yelled as he fell.

He braced for an impact that never came. Instead, he found himself suspended in the Captain's arms. He had caught him, and not just that but he had caught him and lifted him, throwing the younger easily over his shoulder.

"Uh, Levi...?" he stuttered as he was stalked toward the bed.

"I'll called us off the rest of the day. Told them we were taking a break so you could rest before the next shifting experiment."

"R-really?" Eren asked. He huffed as he was thrown back on the bed.

"Yup," a dark smirk lit Levi's face, "Which means I can make you squeal all day long…"

Eren squeaked, ultimately losing his fight as his lover's gentle caresses lulled him back into the man's arms. They spent almost the whole day there, in Levi's room, making up for the time they had spent without the other's touch.
