《False Pretense [EreRi/RiRen AU]》Chapter 5: A Note
Advertisement
*****
I can't fucking believe what just happened. Why does Shitty Glasses needs to interrupt us all the time? And why does it feels like they're fucking doing it on purpose?
I almost threw my phone across the room and is on the verge of doing it when I heard Rein spoke.
"I—I uhm..."
Turning my head to look at him, I saw him shifting uncomfortably on the couch, face still red from the event that just got interrupted. I sighed and placed my phone on top of the coffee before slumping on the couch, closing my eyes and rubbing my temples.
"Levi."
"Hmm?"
"Sorry about what happened earlier."
"Don't be."
"You're not mad?"
"No." I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at Hanji.
Our awkward conversation was followed by another set of silence, making me raked my mind to think of any way to get rid of this fucking uncomfortable silence. We never experienced this type of situation before and it's making it hard for me to think of a way. Deciding that it's now or never, I opened my mouth to call him.
"Rein—"
"Levi—"
We looked at each other with wide eyes, staring straight in the eye for God-knows-how-long until Rein started to crack, small laughs bubbling in his throat before slowly becoming a full blown laughter. He's clutching his stomach, head thrown back with tears in his eyes. I just stared at him in confusion, not having any clue on what just happened to him.
He's going crazy. I'm pretty fucking sure about it.
He raised a hand with his palm facing my direction as he tried to calm himself down. He heaved for breath, occasional laughs coming out. He wiped the tears at the side of his eyes before looking at me with a wide grin.
"We've never been that awkward before."
"Seems like you enjoyed it too fucking much, huh?"
He laughed again and shook his head, letting out a sigh in the end.
"Uhm, Levi...?"
"What?"
"Can I stay the night?"
"Yeah."
I stood up and motioned for him to follow me. I won't allow him to sleep in a hoodie and jeans. Those clothes are fucking uncomfortable to sleep in.
I lead him to my room and I went straight to my closet to look for some clothes that will fit him. This guy is a fucking giant; I don't think that I have many clothes that will fit his tall physique. After searching through my neatly piled clothes, I brought out a white shirt that I guess will fit him along with large sweatpants. I stood up and tossed it to him, Rein catching it just before it made contact to the ground. I went back to checking my closet for a towel for him to use.
"What are these?"
"Clothes. First time seeing it?" Rolling my eyes at the stupid question, I took a grey towel out and threw it at him again. "Go take a bath before you go to bed. You fucking stink."
He frowned and raised the collar of his hoodie to smell himself. I resisted the urge to chuckle at the action, my face remaining impassive when he looked back to me with an offended look.
"Hey, I don't stink."
"You're only saying that because it's your own. Hurry the fuck up and use the bathroom so I can take a shower after you."
Grumbling, he stood up and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I sat down on my bed, picking out a book from the nightstand and started reading, the sound of the water coming from the shower and the sound of the pages make when it is turned are the only sounds to be heard.

Several minutes later, I heard the shower got turned off as I turned another page. Rein's voice rang out inside my room when he called my name and I responded "What?" without looking up from the book in my hand, not bothering to look at his direction.
"Do you have any new underwear?"
My head shot up to look at the bathroom's door, eyes wide at the question. I shouldn't be really surprised—no one would ever bring a fucking pair of extra underwear with them wherever they go.
"Levi?"
I settled the book down on top of the nightstand and went over to my closet, racking through the cleanly piled set of clothes inside. I heard the bathroom door opened and I looked back, Rein was sticking his head out of the bathroom.
"Do you have one? I can go commando if there's none."
"Wait! I have some." The words came out of my mouth fast, my voice sounding a little panicked. There's an edge of teasing and playfulness in his voice but that didn't stop the heat that formed in my face. I hurriedly took the fucking underwear he need that he oh so needed (the underwear that I also need for him to wear so damn much to save my fucking self from temptation), and strode in front of the bathroom's door to pitched it to him, the garment hitting his face which currently have a cheeky grin adorning it. He caught it with his left hand.
"Aww man, I thought that you don't have one, I am wishing that I could go commando."
"Shut the fuck up, Rein. Just put on those goddamn underwear." Quickly, I turned to my heels and walked back to my bed, the heat on my face never leaving. I sat down on the bed and took my book and started reading, my mind being too distracted to be able to gave the words and sentences I read meaning. It didn't take long until Rein came out of the bathroom, drying his hair using the towel while walking over to the couch which was placed adjacent to my bed. Taking a seat, he rested the towel on top of his head and looked at me.
"Levi, are you sure that you don't want me to go commando? I can if you want—"
"Oh my god, shut the fuck up, Rein!"
"Come on, no need to be shy about it."
My face grew hotter at the moment, and I did my best to sent him a glare that looks so deadly it can kill. His eyes widen at the sight and raised both of his hands up like he's in a hold up.
"Okay, okay, jeez. Don't be so grumpy."
"I'm not grumpy, you little shit."
You're just saying things that are too inappropriate—and tempting.
He took his phone out of the sweatpant's pocket, unlocking it and checking something before locking it and turning his gaze back to me. "It's already one o'clock. We should get some sleep."
Shit, the guest room is not ready for usage. Where the hell will he sleep?
"Rein, the—"
"The guest room's not clean enough for you to let me use it, I know. I'll just sleep here in your couch."
"You told me not to fucking sleep on the couch and now you're telling me that you'll sleep there?" I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "You're impossible."
"It's because I don't want you to hurt your back. Just lend me a pillow and I'll be fine."

I traveled my gaze from his face down to his feet before looking at the couch he's going to sleep at. The couch's too fucking small to occupy his giant of a body. I'll just ask him to sleep beside me. There's nothing damn wrong with it, right?
"Sleep with me."
A shocked look crossed over his features and his jaw dropped, staring at me with wide eyes and a gaping mouth, his cheeks dusted pink. Frowning, I started to wonder what caused him to give that kind of reaction until I thought of what I said. Shit, it sounded wrong.
"Wait, no, fuck—" Heat once again settled on my face and I can guarantee that I'm blushing as hard as he is. "Wait, I didn't mean it like that. What I mean is you should share the bed with me instead of you trying to fit in that couch."
"No, Levi. It's okay."
"If you're worrying about other things, I'll assure you now. We're not going to fuck."
"Levi!" The blushed on his face intensified and I can't help but chuckle. It's my fucking payback for his teasing earlier.
"What? First time hearing the word fuck?"
I don't know what happened but his looked and mood suddenly changed from being abashed to a serious, seductive one faster than a blink of an eye. His lips curled into a sultry smirk, making my blood run faster and hotter in my veins and I gulped down the words that I was about to say.
"Actually, no. I'm about to ask you if you want to." His voice sounded so low and suggestive and I felt my body shiver. What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't be affected by his teasing but I can't stop how his words went straight to my nether regions. It's getting fucking hot in here and the sight of him looking at me with those eyes didn't help me. Nope, not even a little.
"Fuck you."
"I think that it'll be other way around." My hand automatically flew to grab one of the pillows and sent it flying to him. The pillow hit him once again in his face and I heard his laugh, so light and carefree, resonate inside the silent room of mine.
"Shut up, Rein."
A louder laugh came from him once again and I stood up, sauntering to my closet to get some clothes before I went to the bathroom. I just took a quick shower but I made sure that I am clean. When I got out, Rein is still sitting on the couch. I raised an eyebrow at him when our eyes met.
"Go to bed already, brat."
"I'll wait for you."
"You're such a brat."
"No, I'm not."
Rolling my eyes, I dried my hair with the towel before I hung it, proceeding to brush my hair before I went to bed and laid down. He turned off the lights and followed me minutes later, the other part of the bed sunk when he laid down. Silence filled the air as I stared at the blackness that's covering the whole place, our breathing the only sound to be heard.
"Levi." I felt him shifted himself on the bed, and a faint light that's illuminating from his phone gave me the ability to look at his face. I shifted to my side so we can face each other which made him smile.
"What?"
"Nothing, I just want to say your name."
The corner of my lips twitched at what he said, and it didn't take long until it fully turned to a smile. A familiar warmth spread throughout me and I lifted my right hand to ruffle his hair.
"Go to sleep, Rein."
"You should too."
"Yeah, yeah, I will."
"Good night, Levi. or should I say, good morning." We both chuckled and he locked his phone, letting the darkness consume us again. His breathing calmed me down, his presence is enough for me to have my mind clear of any thoughts that usually made me unable to sleep at night and the warmth coming off of his body sent me into comfort.
"Sweet dreams, Rein."
*****
"Come on, Levi! Talk to me!" Hanji kept on pestering me but I kept on being stubborn. I haven't uttered a single word to them and school already ended which made them worried. I'm still annoyed at them for interrupting us last Saturday night.
"Levi, please, I'm going crazy already!"
You're already crazy, Shitty Glasses.
"Levi."
"Come on, don't ignore me."
"Can't you hear me?"
"I won't stop until you talk to me."
"Levi, my hot shorty, come on talk—"
"Shut the fuck up, Shitty Glasses." I let out a sigh in irritation and sent them a glare. They also sighed, but this one is a breath of relief.
"You know, I'm glad that you finally talked to me but I'm hoping that you would say other things than—" They cut their rumbling off when they saw the look I gave them. We continued walking in silence, but looks like Hanji couldn't keep their mouth shut for long.
"Are you mad at me? Did something happen?"
Something didn't happen because of your fucking interruption.
"Nothing. Now shut up."
As we make our way out of the school, I saw a very familiar figure not too far away. It instantly made me want to smile but I fought it. I watched him as he looked around, eventually meeting my gaze. He started making his way towards me, and I felt Hanji nudged my side with their elbow.
"Looks like Shorty's boyfriend is here to see him." Looking up at my side, I saw them grinning and wiggled their eyebrows at me suggestively. Hearing Rein called me, I sent them a messed-this-up-and-you're-fucking-dead look before I turned my gaze back to Rein.
"Why are you here?"
He made a face, looking at me in false sadness. "You didn't want to see me?"
I opened my mouth to speak when Hanji suddenly cut in. "Rein! Are you here to get your boyfriend?"
"Hanji! I already fucking told you that he's not my boyfriend!" I shoot them a glare, mentally killing them already. Heat was already pooling in my cheeks and I'm sure that I'm blushing. Shit, this maniac really want to embarrass me.
They gave us a skeptical look, before slowly changing into a knowing look. "It doesn't look like that to me." They grinned, wiggling their eyebrows at us in the same time.
"Shut up."
"So..." We both look at Rein who has an unsure look on his face. He cleared his throat before looking at Hanji first. "Hi, Hanji."
They wave at them enthusiastically which made him chuckle before he looked at me. "I went here to see you—"
"Awww—"
"Hanji."
"Okay, I went here to see you and I want to give you this." He gave me a paper bag in which I eyed first before I took it. He grinned widely at me, pulling me into a tight hug.
"Oi, Rein. Are you planning to kill me?" He laughed and I felt the vibrations it caused on my cheek since my face is pressed on his chest. He let me go and I scowled at him, earning me an apologetic look.
"Sorry. Anyways, I have to go. Levi, look at that paper bag's content once you got home. Hanji, thanks for being with him. He can be a handful sometimes, you know, he's always mad."
"What the hell—"
"No, it's okay, I'm used to it already."
He smiled again and looked at me. "I'll leave now."
He started to walk away, Hanji and I watching his figure disappear in a sea of people. Once he's out of sight, I sighed, thinking of what's inside of the bag he gave me. Hanji nudged me again which caused me to look at them.
"What do you think is in there?"
"I don't know. I still haven't opened it, in case you couldn't see." I rolled my eyes, starting to walk away from the crazy thing. They followed me and we walked in silence, Hanji occasionally saying things that I didn't give any shit about.
After a few minutes of walking, I arrived in my apartment, taking my shoes off before I went to the living room and sat on the couch. Without wasting another minute, I opened the paper bag to see two scarfs one black and one a deep blue, the exact scarfs that I let the both of them borrow before when we were kids. I took it out of the box and examined it, seeing the condition is still good, the lack of use evident on it. I let a small smile paint my lips, the memories of the three of us playing together in the snow as kids playing in my memory.
Returning the scarfs in the paper bag, I saw a note inside it. I took it again and opened it, immediately recognizing Rein's messy handwriting.
Hey, Levi. Remember these scarfs that we borrowed before? We haven't been able to return it so now here it is. It's already washed, don't worry.
Remember the prize that I was supposed to get from my winning last Saturday? I'm planning to get it this next Saturday.
Let's go on a date. That's my prize. Text me if you read this.
—Rein ;)
P.S. You can't say no. :P
I was left staring at the note for who-knows-how-long. Date? He wants me to date him? Is this a fucking joke?
I took my phone from my pants' pocket, going straight to my messages and picking out Rein's contact.
To: Rein
13:45
You should've just asked me personally. That's it, then. You have yourself a date, fucking brat.
I don't know what I'm getting myself into, but I'm sure that I wouldn't fucking regret it.
