eruriweek Day 1: Roomates Today, Erwin’s back in the dorm way earlier than usual. He can’t be a disappointment anymore, he’ll tidy his shit up before Levi sees any of it. He wasted all morning lazing around, creating an even bigger mess around his bed, and he’s got the acute feeling Levi wouldn’t be all too ecstatic at the current appearance of their shared room.He starts clearing the floor of any offending sock. Fastidious mode Levi hates them, blaming the poor inanimate objects for turning the place into fucking Chernobyl.As Erwin rummages under his bed, an alien item comes into view. A pair of fancy (not his), colorful (not his), somewhere the size of a 14 year old (definitely not his – but Levi’s)… underwear.What on Earth possessed Levi to act in such a neglecting way? Abandoning them in the infected side of the room, where he would never set foot stating he isn’t much into junkyards?He inspects the piece of clothing, eager to find a meaning to this harrowing mystery. He’s never seen Levi in underwear. Unlike himself, he doesn’t stroll around almost naked before and after showers. But jesus fuck, is he really that… small?He shouldn’t. He really ought to refrain himself, but he can’t overcome his curiosity and he takes a sniff anyways. It’s not like there’s any stain, they don’t reek in the slightest. But make no mistake, he’s holding a pair of used boxers.How come Levi’s undies ended here? He takes a look around and notices some minor discrepancies. His hood? It wasn’t there this morning. It’s been used for days, then hid in the wardrobe – anything but provoking Levi’s wrath at The Dirty Laundry Golem.He’s pretty sure he left the PS4 controller somewhere under his rumpled sheets when he finally mustered the willpower to get ready for class. Things have been removed from their place. Pulled out from dark hideouts. Someone was here. So they either have a rather benevolent crook visiting or Levi is trying to give him some kind of ultimatum regarding his sloppiness. A message he’s failing to grasp. But Levi’s schedule is packed full, no way he’s gonna be as inefficient as to come in here in order to deliver a cryptic and futile warning. The tinkling of keys at the door forces his inner discourse to a halt.The crook, he jokes in a flash, back with a proper bag in which to carry all the juicy stuff they have in the room. But no. It’s just Levi, back in the dorm way sooner than usual.His mind barely registers the fact that he had a couple of hours before Levi arrived from kendo practice. How cranky is he gonna get at him for the sorry state of their shared lodgings? And also, what is he doing with these tiny, tiny boxers in his hands?Clumsy like a fish trying to build a lego, Erwin crumples the fabric in his hands, trying to make it disappear inside his huge palms. Somehow this action seems even more perverted, and he decides it might be better to just make them begone. There, under his ass, such a subtle and clever hiding place. He’s not even aware of how stupid it all is, and dares a glance at Levi, braindead enough to still think he saved the day.But it’s too late. Levi saw. Of fucking course he saw – the shock in his face something out of the chart, that mouth, agape and connected to a brain too petrified to utter a single word. Levi certainly mirrors his own expression. However, Erwin isn’t expecting any gesture of empathy from the short man.Erwin fucked up. Big time. A vulgar flush taints his face, his mind reeling over the grim repercussions of being found like this. He knows hey’re gonna be awkward as fuck starting right now. Erwin won’t address the kind of mud he got them into, but he forecasts ugly stuff coming to the surface.Meaningful stuff sinking into nothingness. Even if a secret one, this was the only rule he’d actually respected during his time living with Levi. Playing dumb about what lies beneath that muddy, thick, and nastily compelling pond had proven to be pretty easy till now. But the conclusions Levi must have drawn from such a scene leave scarce room to any other interpretation aside from the obvious one. One that is blatantly sexual in nature, and prone to make anyone cringe and never look his way ever again.Most probably, they’ll be parting ways because of this. Three years old friendship ruined away. Erwin almost feels nostalgic all of a sudden - he already kinda misses it all. He stands under a cascade of negative thoughts, the worst of them Levi remembering him as the clown who would jerk to the feel of his briefs. His face and chest might be burning hotter than Satan’s stove. Only loud enough for him to perceive, choked and high pitched, a rattling breaks away from Levi’s clogged throat. A sound he’s never heard before. Another nail on the coffin, Erwin deduces. Levi sounded wounded, as if hurt by a traitor. And yet Erwin notices dread on his eyes, as if Levi were mimicking his expression again. His fair skin seems infected as well, suddenly blotched in red, blood tilting his ears in the most unhealthy looking shade of humiliation red.Briefs under his bed. Used. Controller removed from bed. Hidden smelly hood left on bed. Of course Levi’s mortified. This is probably the worst moment of his life. Erwin, exhaling all fears and anxiety in a rather bovine exhale, decides to cut this angst train in the most straightforward fashion. He’s always succeeded when playing brutally honest. “I could also take mine off, toss them under your bed next time I jack off to you… if that makes you feel more comfortable about this?”Levi: -- source link
