Levi's phone vibrated faintly on the table, and the glowing letters on the screen broke the heavy silence of the room.
The job is done,
Those two simple words ignited a strange, mysterious smile on Levi's lips. He slowly moved his fingers over the screen and typed back, *"Good… now start the next plan."*
Just as he was about to place the phone back on the table, the door swung open abruptly. Alan appeared, his eyes wide with shock, chest heaving, a storm of anxiety and urgency radiating from every movement. The words barely left his lips before Levi's heart skipped a beat.
The phone slipped from Levi's hand, clattering onto the floor. He instinctively stepped back, a rare flicker of panic flashing in his usually calm eyes.
"Eren… what are you doing here?" Levi asked cautiously, his voice unusually tight.
Eren's gaze was deadly serious, devoid of any playfulness or hesitation.
"I know everything," he said, his words carrying weight and determination.
Levi's expression shifted subtly. His usually calm face tinged with unease, his voice quivering just slightly.
"You… you've found out?"
Without hesitation, Eren stepped closer. His hands gripped Levi's firmly, pulling him near. There was an undeniable hardness, a strange intensity, in Eren's voice.
"Dad told me everything. Our company… it's going to generate high profits now. Miss Mia has signed the contract."
Levi's tense features softened slightly. He took a deep breath, his tone calm but infused with a profound seriousness.
"I knew," he said slowly, almost as if he had foreseen every step of this journey. "I knew this would happen."
Eren tilted his head, a little bewildered.
"Why… why are you so serious? And how did you know this?"
Levi closed the distance between them, leaving barely a breath's gap. His sharp eyes locked onto Eren's, unwavering.
"Because I trust you… more than I trust even myself," Levi murmured, voice low, deep, and intimate.
Eren's cheeks flushed crimson. He stepped back instinctively, voice shaking slightly.
"This… this isn't okay, Levi."
Levi's eyes narrowed in surprise. "Isn't it?"
Eren looked away, hesitating, muttering softly, "No… nothing." He turned toward the door, intending to leave.
But before he could move, Levi's strong hands gripped Eren from behind, pulling him back into a tight embrace.
Eren's heart raced wildly, breaths coming fast and shallow.
Levi's tone softened, yet every word carried power.
"Eren… everything is okay."
He cupped Eren's face gently in his hands. His voice was soft, sincere, and touching.
"Our company… which was once in loss… is back because of you, Eren. And remember one thing: I will always be by your side."
Eren's eyes stayed fixed on Levi's, his mind frozen, the moment almost sacred. His cheeks burned, embarrassment making him unable to move.
Levi's gaze shifted slowly toward Eren's lips.
"Many people will come into your life, Eren. But I want to be the one who never leaves… the one you can share everything with."
Eren attempted to pull back nervously.
"This… this is wrong, Levi," he whispered.
Levi's lips curved into a slight, knowing smile.
"If this is wrong, then I'm wrong. But… you're right."
Before Eren could respond, Levi leaned in, pressing his lips gently but firmly against Eren's.
"Don't say anything today," Levi murmured against his lips. "Today is a good day… let it stay that way."
Eren tried to resist, but Levi's grip tightened, intensity flashing in his eyes.
"Eren Yeager… my heart has fallen for you. If you try to leave me, I'll make sure you can't."
Eren raised a trembling hand.
"You… you're my brother," he stammered.
Anger ignited in Levi's eyes. Swiftly, he grabbed Eren's hand and pulled him onto the bed. He hovered over him, holding both hands firmly.
"We are not blood brothers," he said harshly, the words vibrating with authority and emotion.
Eren shivered under Levi's intensity, silent and unsure.
"Say something," Levi demanded, his voice both commanding and tender.
"I… I don't understand," Eren whispered shakily. "Levi… what do you want from me?"
Levi's eyes, filled with a raw mixture of love and determination, softened. He leaned in and kissed Eren again. Resistance faded gradually, replaced by mutual surrender.
Tears formed in Eren's eyes. Levi noticed instantly, his heart melting. He pulled back slightly, hesitating.
"Eren… I… I—"
"You never told me what you wanted," Eren interrupted, voice stern but emotional.
Levi's eyes drifted back to Eren's lips. He leaned down again, their world narrowing to just the two of them, lost entirely in each other.
The first rays of morning light spilled into the room. Both were half-naked, tangled in sheets and each other, when a sudden knock on the door shattered the moment.
"Mona!" Levi's ears caught her voice. "Levi… come quickly! You're late for university!"
Then, muttering under her breath, she added something that made Levi freeze: *"I didn't wake him up on time…"* The knock became louder, more insistent.
Levi's eyes snapped open in surprise. Eren, slowly sitting up, met his gaze. Memories of the night before flooded back, making Eren's breath hitch.
"Levi… mom… she mustn't know… anything," Eren whispered, panic lacing his words. "Whatever happened last night… it stays between us."
A mischievous glint appeared in Levi's eyes. He leaned on the bed, close enough to Eren to make him shiver.
"Hey… she'll be the first to know," Levi teased, voice low and playful.
Eren blinked, panicking. "Why… why would she know?"
Levi dropped him gently back onto the bed, eyes fixed on Eren's face.
"Because… the marks are everywhere—on your neck, lips, and body. The story of last night… it's written all over you."
Eren's face burned crimson. He looked down in shame, voice frantic.
"No one… must know, Levi. Please… do something!"
Levi smiled, sly and playful, "Only on one condition."
Another knock echoed loudly on the door. Mona's sharp voice called again:
"Levi! Open the door! I have to take Eren to university!"
Eren's heart raced. Levi's mischievous grin widened.
"So… will you accept my condition, or will Mom and Dad find out everything?"
Eren blurted instantly, panicked, "Tell me! Tell me! I'll accept all your conditions!"
Levi's first condition was simple:
"Eren… you have to talk to me nicely."
Eren, confused and slightly annoyed, muttered, "Why?"
Levi sauntered toward the door, leaving Eren watching nervously.
"Okay, okay… I'll do it, Levi," Eren agreed hastily.
Levi's second condition:
"You have to go to university with me every day… and do exactly as I say."
The tension peaked as another knock reverberated through the room. Mona's impatient voice pierced through:
"Levi! Open up! Two minutes only—otherwise, I'm coming in myself!"
Levi looked at Eren, eyes gleaming mischievously, and whispered,
"Are you ready for the next part of the plan?"
Eren gulped, heart hammering, the morning light illuminating a day that would change everything.
