Levi's Kid

#4

KEVIN'S ROOM

"And here we go !"

Hange placed Kevin's sippy cup down on his bedside table and tried to put Kevin down on the bed but he didn't let go of her, instead, his grip got even harder.

"It's okay, it's fine."

Said Hange sitting down on the bed with Kevin curled up against her. She gently brought Kevin's arms down from her neck and adjusted him on her lap.

"Okay... This is great."

She said brushing Kevin's hair out of his eyes. Then she picked up his sippy cup and gave it to him.

"Gulp it down and beat the hunger monster ! "

He gripped it with both of his small hands and started to sip hungrily while taking short quick breaths. Hange stared at him, a feeling of satisfaction flowed inside of her as she saw him drink it.

She rocked him back and forth gently so that he could fall asleep. She saw his red swollen eyes close gradually and then the sipping too stopped after a while. She took the sippy cup away from him politely and placed it on the bedside table then continued to rock him back and forth for some time.

When she made sure he was asleep, she put him on the bed and made him turn over onto his side, his back facing her. Seeing that his pyjamas were down, she pulled them up to his diaper's waistband and after pulling his shirt down, she started patting his lower back.

"Has he slept ? "

She heard Levi's voice.

Without turning around she nodded a ' yes '
Levi came to the other side of the bed where Kevin was facing and crouched down. He ran the tip of his thumb and forefinger down Kevin's forehead and nose and then onto his cheeks gently pressing them.

"Just like his mother... "
Said Levi under his breath.

" What ? " Asked Hange.

"Nothing... I'm just saying he looks just like his mother."

" You know you should try to behave a little more like her with him. "

" Hange... I... I love him with all my heart, he's the only family that I've left. He reminds me of her whenever I look at him. The only reason that I'm strict with him is because I want him to turn out to be strong...Like me. "

Hange rolled her eyes.

" You know what I'm doing and you also know that it's the right thing to do, then why are you...."

" He's a kid Levi ! He's 5 years old ! Yes, i know that discipline is important but so is love, he needs love and all I'm saying is that he needs more of it from you. "

"Right... You're right."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Said Hange.

Armin walked inside and said, "Commander Erwin wants you both in the meeting hall... When you're done with Kevin."
