Just a Simple Hello - Ereri

I'm a Furnace

Levi's POV:

I made it to the hospital, there was barely anyone around at this time of hour. I burst through the doors to the dreaded waiting room and saw no one in the room besides a few stragglers. 

I held the blanket in my arms closer to me, looking for Eren or anyone I knew. 

I decided to go to the desk, "Excuse me...Armin Arlert" I asked quietly. The lady looked up at me tiredly, and checked her computer. 

"Yes he got out of surgery, he is resting in room 203" the lady said and I nodded in thanks. I got to the room and saw Mikasa standing outside of her room. 

She heard me coming and looked up, a glare setting in her face the second she saw me.

"Why are you here" she hissed, facing me compleatly. I looked at her, not really in the mood for her shit

"For Eren. He asked if I could come" I said and looked into the room Mikasa was standing outside of. I saw Eren sitting beside a sleeping Coconut head. 

"Did he really?" Mikasa's voice sounded defeated and tired, I looked back at her and saw the heavy bags under her eyes and the way her back was slouching. 

"Where are Erwin and that tall horse kid?" 

"Erwin took Jean home, Jean was falling asleep on his feet. He should be back soon..." Mikasa yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"You should go home. You are falling asleep on your feet too Mikasa" I said in a monotone voice, "I'm going to see those two be right back" 

To my surprise Mikasa didn't even stop me. 

I knocked on the window of Armin's room and Eren's head snapped up, he saw me and beckoned me in the room. I did as he said and went into the small room. 

I didn't say a word and went over to him, taking the blanket in my arms and putting it over his shoulders. 

Eren stood up and he smiled, "thank you for coming" he said quietly, as not to wake Armin. I nodded. 

"When can he go home" I said softly, gesturing to coconut hair.

"Tomorrow morning. The nurses told us to go home but..I don't want to" Eren whispered 

I looked up at Eren, he looked like dead meat too.

"C'mon, both you and Mikasa are going to go home" I said and tugged Eren's arm, leading him out of Armin's room. There were quiet protests from Eren but they sounded exhausted. Mikasa raised her eyebrows when she saw me dragging Eren over to her.

"Both of you go home, Erwin is going to come soon he will drive you home" I said to the pair. Eren shook his head.

"What if Armin wakes up? What if.." I put my hand over Eren's mouth. 

"He is on sedative, he won't wake up till tomorrow at least." I gave Mikasa a look that she understood.

Eren and her both needed sleep, she knew it and it would be bad if Eren lost sleep.

"Hey Levi when did you get here?" 

I turned and saw Erwin walking down the hallway strongly, he still looked fully awake which was comforting. 

"Eyebrows ta-"

"Take Eren home, I don't have work tomorrow and I will just sleep in the chair." Mikasa suddenly spoke up. Eren whined in protest.

"Okay, Eyebrows lets go" I said and walked forward.

"Guys! What the hell? Why are you treating me like some littl-" Eren cut off with a large yawn, his eyes tearing up at the edges. "Little baby"he finished and rubbed his eyes. 

I smirked and took his hand, Mikasa shot me a warning glare but I chose to ignore it. 

"Come on brat, lets go"

The ride back to Eren's place was quiet, him and I were sat in the back while Erwin drove. Eren had long fallen asleep on my shoulder. There was soft jazz playing in the background, almost making my eyes droop.

It was very late, almost 3 now. 

"Here we are" Erwin said, stopping in front of Eren's house. I turned and hated to wake Eren up, he was snuffling softly in his sleep and clutching my arm like a pillow. 

Again, that uncomfortable thump in my chest surfaced as I looked at the soft brown hair and perfect skin of Eren Jeager.

I could feel Erwin's intense stare as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Well, behind him.

"Eren...wake up..." I nudged Eren softly and Eren's eyes fluttered a bit. I shook him again and his eyes opened slowly. 

I opened the door from the car door and cold air slapped us in the face. I unbuckled Eren and I and helped him step out of the car.

"Thanks eyebrows, safe driving" I closed the car door and put Eren's arm around my shoulders.

Of course, I was helping a friend. 

Right?

Nothing weird about this at all.

Erwin drove off and I walked Eren over to his door, I groaned when I noticed it was locked. 

"Your keys" I said to the sleeping figure in my arms. How he could sleep in this awful cold was beyond me. Eren mumbled and I shook him again. "KEYS" I said in his ear, he jumped awake and fumbled for his keys, finding them nestled in his pocket safely. 

I unlocked the door and loved the warm that made my skin tingle. I slammed the door shut and Eren and I stood at the front door tiredly. Eren kicked off his shoes and threw off his coat, also dropping the blanket. I did the same, but a little more neatly.

"I'm going to crash on the couch" I said and turned, but I got stopped by a surprisingly warm hand on my forearm. 

I looked back at Eren but he was already tugging me towards his room.

"E-Eren what are you doing?!" I said frantically, tiredness forgotten. Eren stayed silent as we made his way into his room. 

He let me go and flopped on the bed, diving under the blankets. Eren's eyes peaked over the blankets and he waved for me to come over.

"Stay?" He asked, his voice quivering obviously either freezing or...nervous?

How could I say no to that...

I sighed and walked over to the other side of Eren's bed, hopping in and sighing as I sunk into the soft bed. Eren sat up and pulled off his shirt, leaving him in jeans.

"Uh.." I said, attempting not to stare at him. 

"What..I'm a furnace even in the cold weather" He said and went back under the blankets. 

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

My heart didn't feel like calming down and I shut my eyes tightly, getting the image of Eren's obviously nude back out of my mind. 

"Goodnight Levi..." Eren said, his voice slurring with tiredness. I pursed my lips, seeing his brown hair falling in front of his closed green eyes. We were facing each other and I really couldn't keep my eyes shut.

"Night brat"
