The Ereri Project!

Earrings

The morning after a particularly fun night of dinner and dancing, Eren wakes as happy as he always is to wake up beside Levi.

As his eyes wake up more they take in the man beside him, Eren is intrigued to see Levi never took out his earrings, a pair of crystal and silver chandeliers, before bed.

He definitely remembers Levi retreating into the bathroom for twenty-five minutes to take off his makeup and cincher ("because you never untie it correctly!"). Eren finds that can't remember if he saw Levi wearing them when they were having sex.

On second thought, he rememebers feeling them whenever Levi's face got close.

He leans up and stares at the shiny jewelry laying across Levi's cheek. He brushes it gently with his thumb, almost marveling at how cold it is compared to the warmth of Levi's face. "Hm," he hums.

When Levi begins to stir, he backs off a little. The shorter man rolls on his back and stretches, wincing when one of his earrings gets caught on his pillowcase. "Shit," he mutters, opening his eyes.

"Morning," Eren says, still staring at the earrings.

Levi looks at him with drowsy confusion. "What are you looking at?"

"They're pretty," Eren says, reaching up to touch one of them.

"Yeah, well, I shouldn't slept with them in. My ears are gonna be sore."

Eren reaches up a little more and watches in utter fascination as he pulls the metal through the tiny hole in Levi's earlobe.

After he does the same with the other one, he rests them both on he palm reverently and glances up Levi. "What?" he asks.

Levi just shakes his head, dropping it against his pillow. "I was completely joking when I said you have every fetish but then you do things like that."

Eren's cheeks flush. "I just think they look nice!"

"Sure you do," Levi replies, smirking.

"Really!"

Levi rolls away from him. "You have fun with your pretty things, I'm going back to sleep. Don't forget to use protection."

"Levi~"

Levi laughs, Eren is way too much fun to tease.
