Hey, everybody~!

Sorry this update is super late, but a shit ton of things have happened in these couple of months alone. I got accepted to the university of my choice, one of my brothers got married, I toured the college I'm going to next year and currently I have U.I.L and Prom to worry about.

Moving on...I swear, I feel like the more I write Eren, the more OOC he becomes and when it comes to Levi, I feel like he stays the same and has noooo development. So this chapter has a lot of development amongst other things just because I feel like this should pick up a lot faster then it has been going.

Now for the review poll on the "Yay or Nay on MPREG":

Yay Mpreg: 7

Nay Mpreg: 1

Y'all can still vote (via reviews) if you want Mpreg or not.

Eren put down the last box into the shiny, new apartment. He looked around the barren room with a broad smile on his face before plopping down on the floor. He lifted his arms in the air and fell back against the fluffy carpet with a sigh.

"I'm so exhausted." Eren groaned.

Levi walked into the apartment, turned to his beautiful fiance, and rolled his eyes. They had just finished moving into the apartment that he found a couple days before Christmas. Eren couldn't be happier to move away from the old apartment to a new one, all so that the bastard on the phone from last time wouldn't find him.

Eren blinked up at his gorgeous fake fiance and gave a soft smile. Ever since the incident with the bastard on the phone, Levi was reluctant to let Eren out of his sight. Whenever the older went to work, he made sure to call or text the teen every couple of hours or so. When he went to go visit Mikasa, Levi would be right beside the teen despite the fact that Mikasa hated Levi. The best part though, was when they went out to get food and Levi would be right next to Eren, either holding the teen by his waist or by his hand. The brown haired teen felt as though he was experiencing nirvana during those moments but also pure hell because he always acted like a dork whenever Levi touched him in anyway.

"Hey brat," Levi called to him. "Get off the floor and help me put this shit up."

Eren gave a whine. "But Levi, I'm tired and hungry."

"You really think I give a shit?" was the response from Levi as he began to go into the kitchen. The teen grumbled and reluctantly got off the ground, going towards his fiance to help put up things. They started in the kitchen with Levi putting the dishes in the proper place while Eren put the pans and stuff in the right place. It took a couple of hours to finally get almost everything in the new apartment situated and both boys went to go to sleep, but there was a problem.

"Hey Levi?"

"What is it?"

"Why is there only one bedroom?"

Eren turned to look at the shorter only to meet gunmetal eyes staring at him. The fact that there was only one bedroom made Eren very nervous, more so because he knew he felt something for Levi...though he couldn't identify what it was.

The older just sighed and said, "It was the only apartment that I could find quickly and at a cheap price. Also, since we are getting married soon, I thought it a bit weird that we're not sharing a bed. If we are going to be a convincing couple, we have to do the convincing..."

Eren only nodded turning on the light, he nervously glancing around the barren room that only held a mattress and trash bags filled different items. He walked into the room and went to a bag, opening it to pull out some clothing. He turned around to see Levi watching him and the younger felt his cheeks warm. The brunette held some clothes to his chest and glanced towards his fiance, who was now digging through bags for sleeping wear. Eren took the chance and bolted to the restroom that was conveniently connected to the bedroom. He dressed quickly while trying to calm his beating heart. The teen didn't understand why his heart was beating so fast. He had shared a bed with Levi before, when Mikasa had stayed that one night but why did this feel different? Was it because he had some type of feelings towards Levi, could that be it? Whatever it was, it was confusing Eren.

"Hey, are you done in there?" he heard Levi's voice call from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Yeah, hold on!"

The younger walked out and looked to Levi, who was setting the bed for them to sleep on that night. Eren felt his face heat up once more and he fiddled with his hands. Levi looked at Eren and held back a sigh. Eren was nervous and/or embarrassed for some reason and the older honestly didn't give a shit. He wanted to sleep and now.

"Eren, get your ass over here." Levi growled.

The younger gave a small yelp and scurried over to the older male. Levi just stared at him until Eren slowly lowered himself onto the bed and laid down on the other side of Levi. He was stiff as a board and lying on his back, completely straight. Steel colored eyes watched the brat and Levi sighed before hesitantly carding a hand through Eren's hair. Eren blinked widely at him, then hummed appreciatively at the sensation. The young teen's eyes grew heavy and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep. Levi watched him fall into a deep slumber before leaving the bed, turning off the light and returning. Levi fell asleep with his head onto of his young fiance's chest.

Two days later when Christmas came, Eren was up a quarter till six and impatiently waiting to the older male to awake from his slumber. Levi just continued to sleep until the brat decided he had enough sleep and jumped onto Levi. The older male felt the sudden weight, and quickly flipped Eren onto his back glaring at the surprised teen.

"What the hell, Eren?" Levi growled.

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS!" Eren practically shrieked, his face turning the color of beet roots. Levi just stared at the younger for a while, before letting the brat go and gathering his phone from the floor. They still hadn't put up the bed frame since Eren was concerned with putting up Christmas decorations instead of bedroom decorations, which included setting up the bed. Anyway, Levi grabbed his phone and began checking the messages he got while Eren watched him with a pout. He was really excited about Christmas since it was going to be the his first Christmas since his mother's death. Even though she died seven years ago, he never had a proper Christmas since then. His father, Grisha, would do nothing for Christmas and would become more violent during the festive month. December was often the month that he would go to school with multiple bruises and cuts littering his body.

"Eren, are you okay?" Levi asked him, slightly worried.

The teen snapped out of his stupor and blinked towards his betrothed. "Yeah, just remembering some stuff."

Levi frowned. "What stuff?"

"Nothing really important." Eren said, he then jumped out of bed and put a smile on his face. "Hey Levi, it's Christmas! Come on, let's go to the Christmas tree. I'm pretty sure Santa left us some presents!"

The older looked at him in slight disbelief. "You still believe in Santa Claus?"

"LEVIIIII!" Eren whined.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Eren giggled and took off to the living room. They had set up Christmas decorations in the new apartment the day before, and to Eren's happiness, the tree was covered in presents. The teen let out a gasp at the amount of colorfully wrapped presents and turned happy turquoise eyes to his betrothed. The shorter was startled when Eren pulled him into a hug, before running to the presents. It was unfortunate that Eren didn't notice Levi's cheeks turning pink. The teen was just too preoccupied with the multiple gift he received from his sister, and Levi.

The older just watched his fiance act like a child before said brat decided to come up to Levi. His green eyes twinkled with golden flecks as he held a small box behind his back.

"What is it?" Levi asked.

"Well, you haven't opened any of your presents and I want mine to the one you open up first." Eren grinned. Levi looked at the teen skeptically and took the present when Eren handed it to him. He meticulously tore off the wrapping paper and grew agitated when the box had an even smaller box in it. The older gave a deadpan look to his fiance and sighed, looking back at the small box. He opened it and almost dropped it in surprise.

Inside the box laid a simple silver ring, it gleamed in the bright light of the sun rise. Levi looked to Eren and fought the flush that wanted to craw up his cheeks. Eren's soft lips were turned upward in warm happiness and his eyes shone excitement. The older swallowed hard before looking back at the ring and placing it on his left hand. He held up his hand, admiring it before turning gunmetal orbs to his beautiful fake fiance.

"So you like it?" Eren inquired.

"Yeah..." Levi breathed. "Thank you."

"Happy Birthday."

Levi blinked and looked at his betrothed with suspicious eyes. "How did you know it was my birthday?" he narrowed his eyes as Eren's own widened in slight panic.

"I didn't look though your office to find out, nope!" Eren thought.

The teen stuttered to answer until the doorbell rang and he ran out the door like a bat out of hell. The teen opened the door to see Hanji and Erwin's exuberant faces smiling at him.

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS!" Hanji squealed, throwing her arms around Eren and forcing him into a bear hug.

"Oi, shitty glasses, when did you get back from Germany?" Levi popped in by Eren, who was getting smothered.

Hanji blinked and looked to Eren, then back to Levi. "I came back, like, a week and a half ago. I told Eren to tell you when I came by, I guess he forgot."

Eren blushed lightly. "I-I got distracted!"

"You got so distracted by putting up Christmas decorations that you forgot to tell me Hanji came by?" Levi raised an eyebrow making Eren's face reddened.

Laughing filled the area and the adults went inside the room, conversing along the way. Erwin and Hanji hung out with them the whole day, not leaving until after dinner. Eren immensely enjoyed their company, he laughed at the stories told by Hanji, and enjoyed the small talk with Erwin. Levi looked pleased about his interaction with the other two adults too. By the end of the day, Eren could positively say that it was the best Christmas he had in a long time.

New Years Eve was a very busy and tiring day for our dear protagonist. Levi had went to work and basically ordered that Eren have the apartment spotless and food made by the time he got off of work. Levi had invited his co-workers and old college friends to their apartment to celebrate the coming of the new year. So at five in the fucking morning, Eren was on his hands and knees making sure the apartment was Levi-standard clean. In which, Levi-standard clean meant that even the slightest dust bunny was demolished from the spot it held as its home.

After cleaning the apartment, Eren had to go shopping for food for that night and for fireworks. He set off in the afternoon, and rode the bus to his destination: the grocery store. Once inside the store, Eren grabbed a shopping kart and went down the isles. He was half way through when he bumped into a familiar face.

"Eren!"

"Petra! How are you?" Eren asked the blonde woman. Even though it had been a couple of months since he last seen her, the teen still remembered the nice blonde.

She smiled genially. "I've been doing great!" she answered, then looked at Eren's almost full basket. "Are you shopping for the party tonight?"

"Yeah, I've just been stocking up."

"Ive been gather a whole bunch of fireworks," Petra giggled. "Auruo just can't get enough of them!"

Eren gave her a questioning look. "Who is Aurou?"

Petra stopped suddenly and narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Levi didn't tell you? Aurou is my husband. He and Levi had been co-workers for five years now."

Eren bit his lip. "Even though we are getting married, I still don't know a lot about Levi..." he thought.

Seeing the somber face Eren gave, Petra gently put her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, let's get off that subject." she guided him towards the frozen section of the store. "Why don't we get ice cream for tonight and I'll take you home and help you cook for tonight."

The bright eyed teen looked to the kind woman and gave a bright smile. "Yeah...that would be great."

And great it was.

As soon as the twosome made it to the apartment, they went straight to work, having fun along the way. Music bounced off the walls, the stove was cooking up a storm and the two acquaintances were getting along swimmingly. Petra had put Eren on dessert duty, and Petra, herself, was cooking the main was a little while later, when the excitement calmed down a bit, Petra made her move.

"How are you dealing with this Eren?" She asked lightly.

Eren gazed at her confused. "What do you mean?"

The small blonde put down the knife in her hand and turned to face the teen. His beautiful green eyes twinkled gold as his confused expression consumed his face. "I know about the deal that you and Levi made." she murmured.

Eren felt as though his heart stopped and time stood still. She knew, she knew, she knew, she knew...

"Eren, it's okay. I'm not going to tell anyone." she reassured. "The only reason I know about it is because Levi told me. If you think about it, I knew you before Levi made that deal with you. If Levi hadn't have told me, I could have blurted out that you two couldn't have been engaged because y'all meet five months ago."

The teen nodded, understanding the situation but anger riled up within him. Levi should have told him that he let Petra know about their secret. It would have made things less awkward around the blonde and he would have been able to talk to her about the problems he and Levi had.

Eren sighed. "...as long as you don't tell anyone, I'll trust you with Levi and I's secret."

"I won't tell anybody, I promise!" Petra beamed at Eren, then merrily went back to chopping vegetables. They continued cooking food, until it was enough to feed a small army. By the time Levi came home, he was shocked to see food set up on tables and the apartment clean. He set down his suitcase on he coffee table and traveled to the kitchen.

"Welcome home, Levi!" Petra greeted happily.

"Welcome home..." Eren said, his green eyes narrowing dangerously at the older. With that look alone, Levi knew something was wrong with his brat. He heaved a sigh and Levi quickly took the younger male's hand, dragging out of the kitchen to their room.

When they got in the room, Levi locked the door and faced his fiance. He sighed, "what's wrong now?" and looked Eren straight in the eye. The teen huffed and crossed his arms.

"Well, Petra told me that she knew about our deal. What I want to know is why you didn't tell me that she knew?" Eren asked, clearly irritated.

The older rolled his eyes. "Honestly, I didn't think it mattered."

"Well it mattered to me, Levi." Eren scolded. "We are getting married soon and it seems like you can't even trust me enough to tell me that you told Petra our secret."

"Eren..." Levi's gunmetal eyes softened as he took the teen's hands within his."I'm sorry, I should have told you."

Eren's face flushed a light pink. "I-It's okay, just trust me, okay Levi?"

"Okay."

Levi tightened his grip on Eren's hand and kissed it softly. The brown haired male gave a bashful smile before the two walked out of the room, hand and hand, to the kitchen where a worried Petra was waiting.

"Is everything okay now?" she asked as they walked in.

"Yeah, everything is fine." Levi answered, Eren nodding in agreement.

"Well then," she started. "Let's get this party situated before everybody gets here!"

"Gotcha."

Eren went back to dessert duty but this time with Levi giving him a helping hand. At that moment, Eren swore he felt like a wife getting help from her husband and it was a nice feeling.

By the time everything was done being cooked, the two males were exhausted and Eren had wanted nothing more than to see his bed. Unfortunately, he had a party to host along with his fiance, so that meant no sleep for him. Levi had gotten dressed before Eren, allowing the teen the most time in the restroom to get ready. The teen was grateful towards his betrothed, and took a shower, got dressed in a nice green button up shirt, some nice black dress pants and some expensive shoes Levi had bought him one time. He even attempted to control the mess he called hair and succeeded to some extent. His hair looked relaxed with no hair out of place as it curled at the nape of his neck. Eren hoped it didn't look too stuffy because he really wanted to impress Levi's co-workers and friends.

After taking a huge gulp of breath and releasing it, the teenager strode out of the room and to the living are where Levi was waiting for him. When he got there, the living room area was already half way crowded with people. Eren stopped short and cautiously weaved through the crowd looking for a familiar face, hopefully Levi's. However, it wasn't Levi he found first but his older sister Mikasa and her girlfriend (are they even together yet?) Annie. Mikasa was dressed in a simple red knee high dress while Annie was in a white dress suit.

Mikasa smiled as Eren made it toward her. "Eren, I was wondering where you were."

"I was getting ready." Eren said.

Annie smirked. "So that's why you look so clean tonight."

"I am always clean, Annie!" Eren pouted.

"Sure Eren."

The teen made an indigent sound and crossed his arms, glaring at his sister's girlfriend. Said blonde only chuckled at Eren's slight distress and smiled at Mikasa who was laughing softly.

"Well, I better go and look for Levi." Eren said as he finally gave up the pouting, and began to look around the room for his short fiance.

Mikasa's face looked dark. "I still can't understand how you are in a relationship with that cocky shrimp."

"He's not a shrimp, Mikasa." Eren groaned. He hated when Mikasa got into a funky mood when ever his Levi was mentioned. Wait, his Levi?

A light blush over took Eren's tan cheeks at his sudden mental declaration and Mikasa's glare got chuckled and lead his older sister away from him, telling him to go look for his fiance. He did just that. He looked around the crowd once more before catching his fake fiance sitting by some random woman. The woman was smiling flirtatiously at Levi, and constantly shifting closer to him the more she talked to him. The shorter seemed not to be interested in anything she was saying but that didn't stop Eren from getting mad.

Eren growled softly as that stupid bitch put a move on his Levi. That was his fiance that the stupid bitch was hitting on. Levi was getting married to him, Levi was in living with him, but those facts didn't stop the ugly, green, raging monster called jealously to rear it's hear and show its face.

Eren watched as the stupid woman laughed and put a hand on Levi's bicep, in which the older looked uncomfortable. Levi knew it wasn't cool to throw a desperate bitch in her place disrespectfully so Eren understood that Levi really couldn't do anything about the bitch.

Well, unless Eren did something about it.

Gathering his courage, the green eyed beauty made his way to his fake fiance and stopped right in between his betrothed and the random woman. The bitch had the nerve to look peeved, but Eren didn't care; he was down right pissed.

"Excuse me," the woman sneered. "I was talking to him, could you move?"

"How about you get the fuck away from my husband before I castrate you?" Eren growled. The woman looked stunned before laughing right in the green eyed male's face.

"Husband? I don't see a ring on his finger." she said snidely.

"Maybe if you'd stop trying to get some at every corner and notice when some one is not into you, maybe you would notice the ring on my husbands finger." Eren snapped.

The woman was about to retaliate, when Levi wrapped his arm around the teen's waist and dragged him away from the bitch. Eren was still furious at the bitch who dared to try and take HIS Levi away from him. He was the one getting married to Levi, he was the one who lived with Levi, and he was the one who liked Levi, a lot!

"Eren..." Levi spoke as they came to a secluded area.

The teen looked at his fiance hesitantly."..Yes?"

"Lean down a bit." the shorter ordered as his arms circled Eren's waist. The brat leaned down till their fore heads were touching, both of their faces were blossoming red at the close proximity.

"LETS COUNT DOWN EVERYBODY!" Someone screamed from the living room, it sounded like Hanji. Levi just continued to stare into Eren's emerald eyes, practically drowning in them. Unbeknownst to Levi, Eren felt the some way.

"10...9...8...7..." the crowd shouted.

Eren hummed softly as Levi placed a pale hand on his cheek, and began to close his eyes as they got closer.

"6...5...4...3!"

As their lips got closer, they accidentally bumped nose's with each other and laughed at the unexpectedness. Eren smiled serenely to the man he was falling for, and Levi gave Eren that rare smile of his.

"2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!" the party goers yelled.

At the same time, Levi surged forward and chastely placed his lips on Eren's gently. The teen felt shock course though his body before wrapping his arms around the older mans neck. Even though it was kind of early in their relationship, the two knew that they needed this.

They separated slowly and smiled at each other. Eren didn't know where that put him and Levi on a relationship level, but he was damn near euphoria after that kiss. Levi looked like he felt the same, if the flushed cheeks and dazed look on his face meant anything. Eren chuckled and held onto the shorter, resting his head on Levi's shoulder.

They stayed like that until Levi said, "Let's go back out to the party before shitty glasses, eyebrows, and your sister start wondering where we are." then walked into the living room hand in hand.

And there you have it folks! I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter posted (almost four months). Well, at least you have the update!

Sorry for any spelling errors, I am just really tired and urghhhh. I wanna sleep...
