Alternatively Titled: The Day Levi Met Winnie the Pooh

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

Petra holds Levi's hand happily, bouncing on her toes.

Eren is having fun just watching the discomfort on Levi's face as they wait in line for the Winnie the Pooh ride.

It's all Petra's talked about since they got to Magic Kingdom about an hour ago. Eren and Levi were the only ones to take her because the others wanted to go on Space Mountain.

When it's finally there turn, Petra wants to sit by herself so she climbs into the front of the giant honeypot and Levi and Eren sit in the back. "Papa look! We're going inside a storybook!"

Eren smiles at her as the turn the corner.

Once they're through the first room, Eren realizes Levi is being unusually quiet. He looks over at his husband and has to conceal a squeal of happiness.

Levi is looking around with an excited expression a lot like Petra's. "Daddy look! Tigger!"

Levi laughs. "I know!"

Eren smiles and sits back for the duration of the ride, soaking in his family's excitement. As the ride ends, Eren turns to Levi. "I thought you didn't like Winnie the Pooh."

Levi sighs, unable to do away with his grin.

"Daddy loves Pooh?" Petra asks, looking back at them.

Eren smiles at Levi's reddening ears. "Yes he does."

"Just don't tell anyone," Levi adds.

Petra giggles. "I'll tell Aunt Hanji that you glared at everything."

"Thank you," Levi tells her as they get off the ride.

Outside, Petra gasps loudly when she sees something. Eren grins when he notices too, Pooh is standing outside waiting to have pictures taken with him. "Go ahead," Eren says. "I'll take a picture."

Petra latches onto Levi's hand and drags him over. Levi glares back at Eren until they get over to Pooh. Petra looks up at him like she's just seen Jesus. "Pooh bear," she says. "My daddy loves you!"

Pooh looks at Levi, who is trying so hard to force back a grin but he can't help it. "Yeah, I do," he mutters.

The actor inside the Pooh costume covers his face he's embarrassed and gives Levi a hug. Petra grin and looks at Eren excitedly, mouthing, "Pooh's hugging daddy!"

Eren grins as well, snapping a picture. When the hug is over, Pooh poses with Petra and Levi for a family picture before Petra says goodbye and they walk away.

"No one is to hear about this," Levi says, still smiling.

Petra giggles, holding each of her parents' hands. "Don't worry daddy, I won't tell."

That doesn't stop Hanji from looking through Eren's camera later and seeing Levi hugging Pooh.
