The Ereri Project!

Jam

When Levi comes down for breakfast one morning, he finds Eren sitting on the kitchen counter and staring out the window at something. "What are you doing?" he asks.

"New neighbors," Eren replies. "Can't you hear all that noise? There's like ten people helping them move in."

Levi makes a face and looks out the window and listens. "They have terrible taste in music."

Petra wanders down the stairs rubbing her eyes. "It's so noisy," she says.

"Go lay on the couch sweetheart," Eren tells her. "It should be quieter in the living room."

She nods and goes to sleep on the couch. Eren and Levi watch for a few more minutes before Levi shrugs. "I need to make coffee before I'm late to work."

"It's already in the pot," Eren replies.

Levi kisses his cheek. "You're so sweet."

"I know, now go."

~~~

That night, there is still a buttload of noise. Like a party.

"Papa, can you ask them to be quiet?" Petra asks. "I can't hear the TV."

"I think after like eleven o'clock or something is when we can start calling to complain," Levi replies, there is frustration in his voice.

Eren sighs. "They should be done by tomorrow, right?"

Levi turns up the TV again. "I hope so."

~~~

Two days later, it's still a problem. "What the hell is going on over there?" Levi growls.

"I watching them bring in the last boxes this morning, this is the housewarming party," Eren tells him.

Levi huffs. "I'm glad Erwin offered to take Petra, girl needs some actual sleep after all this."

Eren groans and flops on the couch. "Do you think they'll always be this noisy?"

"I damn well hope not."

Eren stares at the ceiling for a moment before getting an idea. "You know what we should do?"

"What?"

"Turn on some super annoying song and play it even louder."

Levi gives him a devious smirk. "Like what?"

"You have the Space Jam soundtrack, right?"

Levi stares at him for a moment. "You're evil."

Eren opens all the windows on that side of the house and puts the stereo up to one of them. Levi brings out the cd and Eren puts it in, setting the Space Jam theme song on repeat before turning it all the way up, drowning out all of their new neighbors' noise.

Eren and Levi sit on the floor laughing, trying to sing whatever parts they remember.

It's only the fifth time around when their doorbell rings. Eren turns off the song as Levi opens the door. "Hello?" he answers casually.

There's a woman on the other side of the door. "Hi," she says sheepishly. "Was that because we were being too loud?"

"Yes, it absolutely was," Levi replies with a false smile.

"Sorry," she says, rubbing the back of her head. "We'll keep it down, just please don't play that song again."

"You go it," Levi says and closes the door, high-fiving Eren on the way to the couch

They never had a problem again.
