Pillows

A/N: Little Eren and teenage Levi! :3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger wanted a night out, so Levi was enlisted to stay the night at their house to babysit Eren.

Eren, of course, was absolutely out of his mind with excitement at the concept of a sleepover with Levi. He was bouncing almost non-stop as his parents got ready, making his mom laugh and his dad shake his head.

"It's not proper for a young man to exude so much energy." "He's just a baby Grisha, leave him be."

Eren was unfazed by his father's words, choosing to focus on Levi.

He was grinning on the couch as his mom stood in the doorway with Levi, telling him the number of the hotel they were staying at and what medicines were in the medicine cabinet in case Eren got sick. As if Levi couldn't take Eren home to his own mother for help.

As soon as they left, Eren started bouncing around Levi. "Who let you loose on a bowl of sugar, kid?" Levi asks, chuckling.

"No one!" Eren says excitedly. "I'm just happy we're having a sleepover!"

Levi makes a face. "It's not really a sleepover, I'm just here to keep an eye on you."

At that, Eren pouts and falls on the floor into what Levi has taken to affectionately calling a sadness puddle. He picks Eren up and puts him on the couch.

"But I guess we can try to make it a sleepover if you really want."

Eren perks up again immediately. "You go make popcorn!" he says. "I wanna pick a movie!"

Levi chuckles and goes to the kitchen while Eren immediately springs for the shelves around the TV to pick a movie. "We're watching Hercules!" he shouts to Levi.

Eren puts the VHS in so the commercials can play while the popcorn is being made before he runs to the hall closet to get pillows and blankets for the couch.

When Levi walks back into the living room, the movie is paused (as the commercials are over) and Eren is swamped in pillows and three big blankets. "Whoa," Levo says, climbing up on the pile so he can try to get comfortable.

Eren holds the popcorn so Levi can get under the blankets and press play on the remote. Eren chews his popcorn noisily, which would bother Levi less if he didn't enjoy this movie so much.

He's glad Erwin's not here to see him enjoying a kid movie.

About forty-five minutes later, the popcorn is gone and Levi notices Eren picks up one of the many pillows.

He thinks it's just because he wanted something to hold but not a moment later, the pillow is swung into his face. "PILLOW FIGHT!" Eren shouts, giggling madly and jumping over to the other couch while holding a pillow.

Levi stares at him for a moment, half angry, but suddenly he smirks and throws the pillow at Eren, making the child laugh and throw another pillow back.

"Can't get me, Levi!" Eren says, running when Levi throws another pillow.

He runs toward his bedroom and Levi chases him, laughing as well. As soon as Eren gets into his doorway, he trips and Levi gets on the floor to shout, "Gotchu!" and tickles the little brat.

Eren laughs and shouts, "I surrender!"

"Good," Levi says, picking him up and taking him back to the couch.

"Aren't I too big to be picked up, Levi?" he asks when he's dropped back on the couch.

"Not yet, kid," Levi replies, flopping down as well. "Now finish watching your movie."

Eren falls asleep before the credits roll.
