《False Pretense [EreRi/RiRen AU]》Chapter 3: Moment Ruined

Advertisement

*****

The next day, I woke up to the smell of pancakes and tea. Wanting to know where the smell came from, I opened my eyes and sat up, rubbing my eyes to remove my sleepiness before looking around. Confusion took over my groggy mind when I saw two plates filled with fluffy and delicious smelling pancakes and two cups on my study table.

Who the fuck did that?

My question was answered when the door of my room opened, a guy with a shaggy chocolate brown hair and amber eyes entered. A smile blossomed on his face when he saw me, lighting up my dark and cold room.

"Good morning, Levi."

"Good morning." I stretched and yawned, my yawn stopping midway when I realized that he's in my room. How the hell did he got here inside my fucking room?

"Oi, Rein."

He stopped doing whatever the fuck he's doing on my study table to look at me.

"What?"

"Don't you "what" me, brat. How the fuck did you get in? As far as I can fucking remember, I locked the goddamn door last night."

He chuckled and gave me an unsure smile, looking everywhere but me. "I may or may not use a hair pin to unlock your door."

"You what?" I looked at him with wide eyes in surprise before slowly narrowing my eyes at him. "You entered my fucking house using a damn hair pin?"

He visibly swallowed, shifting uncomfortably on his feet. "I may or may not."

I rolled my eyes in amusement, getting off of my bed and walking towards him. His body became tense when I raised my hand and he threw both of his hands up in defense.

"Sorry, Levi! I'm not going to do it again! Please don't hit me!"

"Who said that I'm going to hit you?" My voice came out sounding amused, making him relax and set both of his hand down. I tiptoed to reach his head—this brat is so fucking tall I don't know how he did that—and ruffled his hair. "You're as childish as Eren before. What did he fucking do to you?"

He laughed and rolled his eyes, bumping me in the shoulder lightly. His laugh is something I missed the most, loud and carefree, making the butterflies in my stomach which was dead before flutter crazily inside. "Shut up and let's just eat."

He gave me a plate of pancakes, the one which is only topped with a bit of butter while he took the one which is overflowing with syrup. I grimaced, thinking of how Rein's going to eat something that's that sweet and sticky. I heard him chuckled so I looked up from his plate to see his face, seeing him with an amused look on his face before he replaced it with an offended look when he saw me staring.

"Don't look at my pancakes like that, Levi. Syrup is like, ambrosia for normal people."

"I fucking doubt that. If syrup is like ambrosia, the gods and goddesses should have fucking diabetes."

Responding with another laugh, we both sat on the couch that I have in my room with the plates on our laps. He also took took the tray which held our cups, mine is tea while his is coffee, and we soaked in a comfortable silence as we eat.

"This is good."

He looked at me with a wide and proud grin, showing off his perfect white and straight teeth. "Thanks. Mom taught me how to cook."

"Carla? Then it isn't surprising." We continued to eat and engaged ourselves in idle chats, asking things about what happened in the past years. From what I heard, he is still as intelligent as before, having himself a girlfriend who cheated on him and other stuffs. Eren is still the troublemaker that he is but he also excel in school despite the fights that he's been in.

With our chat, I could notice him avoiding questions about Eren. I don't know why but I knew better than to meddle with a sibling, or in this case twin, misunderstanding or whatever fuck's going on.

Since it's already Saturday, Rein asked me if he could stay with me for the whole day, saying that he wanted to spend time with me. I gave him my permission without any second guessing, the longing I felt for the twin making me agree without a second thought. The smile that appeared on his face when I said yes was so big and bright I thought that I'd never going to be able to see again.

After we finished eating, Rein took both of our plates and cups, telling me that he'll clean it up. As soon as he went out, I took some clothes out of the closet and headed to the bathroom, voiding myself of any clothes before standing under the shower head.

After twenty minutes of cleaning, I got dressed in a black sweatpants and a gray tank top before I left the bathroom and headed to the living room where Rein might be waiting. Looks like I'm right since I saw him standing in front of the flat screen TV in the living room.

"What are you doing?" He flinched when he heard me, his head turning to look at me.

With a frown adorning his good looking face, he grumbled like a child. " You didn't say you're there. You startled me."

"That's the point, you idiot. Next time I'm going to fucking warn you."

"Hey, that's mean."

"Do I look like I care? No? Good. Because I don't. Now answer my question."

He continued to do what he's doing earlier and after a few seconds, a movie started playing. I sat on the couch which is placed a few meters away from the TV, watching him pause the film and went to the kitchen. It didn't take long until he went back with two bowls full of popcorn.

He gave one to me before he sat beside me, playing the movie and watched in concentration.

The movie is entitled "Deadpool", named after the main character who is wearing a tight red and black spandex who likes to shoot someone at their balls when they're wearing brown pants. It's an action movie which is filled with lame ass jokes and profanities, not failing to make Rein laugh throughout the whole movie.

Although at some point I didn't notice him inching closer and closer to me. I only noticed it when he's just an inch beside me, the warmth radiating off of him hitting me.

"Oi, little shit what are you—" A knock interrupted me and I scowled, making Rein chuckle. I'm about to stand up when he held my shoulder, telling me that he'll answer the door. Watching him walk to the door, I can't help but notice his broad shoulders and muscled back through his thin white shirt. Fuck, how did that little shit became like that? I wonder what Eren looks like now.

The moment he held the door open, a loud voice resonated throughout the room.

"Levi, my little... Wait, who are you? Are you Shorty's boyfriend? Damn that midget not telling me that he already have a boyfriend and is a hottie!"

I quickly stood up and ran to the door, embarrassment and anger filled me up. I pushed Rein aside and glared at Shitty Glasses. I also saw Erwin and Petra behind them, making me scowl. "Levi! You didn't tell me that you have a boy—"

"I didn't fucking tell you because I don't have one, you crazy shit-tard."

I saw Petra making her way closer, pushing Hanji aside gently before smiling at us. I noticed some change in it though when she looked at Rein. "Sorry, Levi. We didn't know you have a visitor."

"He's not just a visitor, Petra. He's the midget's boyfriend."

"How many fucking times do I have to tell you that he's—"

"Okay, okay." Rein cuts our argument off, raising both of his hands in the air just like what he did earlier. "Hold up, guys. We have plenty of time, no need to be in a rush."

I sighed in irritation, getting more annoyed every second. This is supposed to be my time to be with Rein in peace, but these three decided that it would be best to go and fucking visit me without any warning. It would've been fucking okay if they came anytime, except this day.

"What the fuck do you guys want?" Petra opened her mouth to speak but Hanji was faster.

"We came to visit and spend some time with you but it seems like you already have some company. A hot company. Hooo, it's getting hot in here." They fanned themselves with their hand for additional effect. My eyes narrowed at them but I heard Rein chuckled.

"It's okay, I would like to meet Levi's friends." I gave him a sharp look in which he returned with a smile, pulling me with him when he stepped aside to give way to the three. When they already settled on the couches, I turned to Rein and tugged him down using his forearm.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Uh, inviting your friends in?"

"Do you know what you put yourself in to with Shitty Glasses here?" And this is supposed to be our alone time together, you little shit.

"No, but I will soon."

Without waiting for a response, he pulled me with him towards the others. We sat on our places earlier and stayed an inch away from me.

"You guys are so cute together." Hanji had a dreamy look on their face. Shit, I know that look. They look like that when— "I ship it." —...they're shipping someone.

I shoot them a death glare and Rein let out a surprised "Oh". I looked at him and saw a very faint pink dusting his cheeks. Wait, is he blushing? He looked at me and caught me looking, smiling at me before nudging me.

"Hey, stop it. Even though I'm totally okay with it, we wouldn't want the both of you to be surrounded by ants because of your sweetness, do we?"

I felt heat crept up my cheeks and I once again glared at them. "Shut the fuck up or I'll fucking punch all of your goddamn teeth out of you."

Ignoring my threat, Hanji looked at Rein in awe. "What's the name of Shorty's boyfriend?"

"I fucking told you that he's not my boyfriend."

"My name's Rein Yeager, nice to meet you." He chuckled after introducing himself, not minding being called my boyfriend. This little shit.

"I'm Hanji Zoe. That big blonde guy there is Erwin Smith and the girl over there is Petra Ral." Rein nodded as they introduced them, Hanji looking like they're in deep thinking as they stare at the floor.

"Rein. Yeager. Rein Yeager. Hmm, where did I first hear that— wait!" Hanji looked at Rein, a wide grin on their face, looking like they just cracked the Da Vinci code. "You're Rein! One half of Levi's twin bestfriend!"

Rein looked surprised for a moment before the look on his face slowly changed into a soft one. "Yes, I am."

Hanji clapped their hands, squealing in excitement. Erwin and Petra have a lost look on their faces, confused with Hanji's statement.

"Wait, Levi has a twin bestfriend?" Erwin was the first one to ask, followed by Petra. "Why didn't we know that?"

"I'm not fucking obliged to tell you about that and besides, we haven't seen each other for five damn years. Like hell I can be so fucking sure that we'll meet again."

"If you have a twin, where's he?" Erwin, you and your eyebrows are fucking dead to me.

I glared at him and he just shrugged, showing me that he's just curious and not caring about the look I'm giving him.

"I have a twin. He's still in Germany together with my parents."

"His name...?"

"His name is—"

"Eren!"

All of us looked at Hanji. They still have a wide grin on their face, not minding the looks we gave them. "Eren Yeager is his twin's name. They are identical twins!"

"Is that true?" Petra's voice was laced in curiosity. Rein nodded and hummed before answering.

"Yes. We looked a lot like but his eyes are turquoise. It makes it easy for people to recognize us."

Both Erwin and Petra nodded. Hanji continued to ask questions to Rein such as, 'Is it true that if one of the two of you is hurt, the other will also feel it?' and other twin related shits.

"When will Eren go here? I want to meet him! From what I heard in Levi's stories, he seems like an interesting person."

Rein laughed in Hanji's question showing them his award-winning smile. "I don't know but he will, eventually."

"What's your relationship with Levi?"

"I fucking swear, Shitty Glasses I—"

"He's my bestfriend." Rein cut them off and they gave the two of us a skeptical look.

"Really? You look good together."

I rolled my eyes in irritation and I heard Rein chuckled again. How can this brat handle Hanji?

"I ship the both of you!"

"Fucking stop at that shipping shit you got, Hanji. Didn't you paired Erwin with Armin?"

"And they got together because of it." Their voice sounded proud and I can't help but scowl at them.

"Haven't you fucking had enough?"

"Nope, and I'll make sure the both of you will be together." They winked at Rein and I huffed, standing up to leave the room and give myself a break.

I went to the kitchen and drank a glass of water, hearing some footsteps behind me. Looking back, I saw Rein walking towards me and he took a glass for himself.

"How can you handle them? They're a crazy thing."

"Thing?" He laughed and shook his head, clearly amazed. "It's not that hard. I like them."

"I can't fucking believe you. Another thing, why didn't you look bothered when they called you my boyfriend?"

He finished drinking and cleaned it without answering. I patiently waited for his response even though I am not a patient man. Returning to his place in front of me, he started leaning down, our face starting to get closer and closer.

"O-oi, what are you—" I was stopped when he placed his lips just a few centimeters away from mine, his hot breath on my lips doing wonders to my heart. His lips look so attractive, thin upper lip and the bottom is a little thick, the pinkish color making it more and more appetizing.

I was stunned, looking at his lips before moving my gaze to his eyes, his lids drooping by a fraction. He moved his face next to my ears, and I shivered when his breath touched my skin.

"Maybe that's because I like it."
