Band-Aid

"Levi~"

Levi looks from him Gameboy Color to talk to Eren. "Yes?"

"Can I have a safety pin?"

Levi cocks an eyebrow. "For what?"

"My teddy's overalls are falling off."

Eren holds out his teddy bear for Levi to see. Indeed, the button holding the bear's overalls had come off so the strap was loose. "Sure," Levi says. "Do you know where your mom keeps them?"

"In the junk drawer in the kitchen."

Eren takes Levi's hand to lead him over to a drawer in the kitchen he can't reach. Levi opens it and finds a pack of safety pins in the back. He hands the pin to Eren. "Here you go, kid."

Eren takes the safety pin and sits on the couch. Levi sits down and picks up his Gameboy and plays more Pokémon Gold.

"Ah!" Eren starts crying.

Levi looks over at the crying six year old with panic. "What happened?"

Eren holds out his hand, his thumb is bleeding. "I got an owwy on my thumb!"

Levi calms down a bit and takes the child's hand. "You're okay, kiddo," he says. "Just need a ban-aid."

Eren sniffles. "Are you sure it's okay?"

Levi chuckles and nods. "C'mon."

He holds Eren's hand on the way to the bathroom. Eren sits on the toilet holding out his hand for Levi. Levi cleans his thumb and then looks for band-aids. "Where are the band-aids?" he asks.

"In the medicine cabinet," Eren replies quietly.

"Why?" Levi asks, taking them out.

"Mommy keeps them up there since I stuck them all over my room."

Levi laughs and sticks the band-aid on Eren's finger. "All better," he says.

Eren grins and hugs Levi. "Thank you," he says.

Eren runs back out to his teddy bear while Levi puts the band-aids away. "Levi!"

"Yes Eren?"

"Can you fix my teddy now?"

Levi smiles. "Sure kid."
