The Ereri Project!

Oreo

When Petra comes down for breakfast, she finds Eren sitting at the counter with Oreos and a glass of milk.

She smiles and kisses his cheek on her way to the refrigerator. "What's the matter, Papa? You only eat Oreos when you're feeling sentimental."

"How can I not?" he asks. "My baby girl is graduating today."

Petra sits beside him with her own glass of milk. "It's not the end of the world," she says.

"I know," Eren says, dunking a cookie. "I just keep forgetting how grown up you are."

He bites his cookie while Petra dunks her own. "I don't think I'll miss school very much," she says, biting her cookie.

"I'll miss seeing my friends regularly but I'm not going to miss moody teachers, being forced to participate in gym class, or taking dumb tests."

"I feel like every adult I talked to when I was in high school was telling me to enjoy it and I would eventually miss it because it would be the best time in my life but that's definitely not true," Eren says.

"I mean, it must be for some people but how could be it be for everyone? I was super awkward in high school, I was argumentative and I didn't try very hard. I was better than elementary and middle school had been but I still far preferred college and now I much prefer the time I spent raising you and building up the bakery."

Petra smiles. "Thank you, Papa."

"For what?"

She shrugs. "Being you, I guess. I just see you as being more open than some of my friends' parents."

Eren could cry, his mouth twists into something he's not sure feels more like a frown or smile. He hugs her. "You're going to get a lot of this tonight but, I'm so proud of you."

She hugs back and munches on another cookie. She looks at the time and then kisses Eren's cheek. "Gotta go," she says.

"Wait!"

Levi runs down the stairs and rounds the corner just in time to hug Petra as well. "Have fun on your last day of school," he says, kissing her forehead.

She smiles. "It's just graduation practice," she says. "I'll probably even be home early."

"We'll be here," Eren replied, smiling as she waves and walks out to her car.

"There she goes," Levi says.

"There she goes again," Eren sings.

Levi chuckles and sits were Petra was sitting, picking up an Oreo and dunking it in Petra's milk. "It's gonna be a long night," he says.

"At least she agreed to have dinner with us and the "family" tonight."

"Yeah," Levi replies, popping the cookie in his mouth and wrapping an arm around Eren's waist.

"Our reservation is for fourteen people, right? I didn't even think there were fourteen people in our immediate family."

"Me, You, Petra, Erwin, Armin, Hanji and Moblit, Annie and Mikasa, my parents, your parents, and my secretly flown in mother. If you recall, Marco was trying to convince Jean to come and Sasha was talking about flying in but they couldn't so it was almost more people."

Eren smiles, munching on a cookie.

"What?" Levi asks.

"I can't just be happy?"

"No I just think it's funny you're so happy right now cause you're gonna bawl later."

Eren shoves him. "Shut up."

Eren leans on Levi for a quiet moment. "Our baby's almost an adult," he says.

"Yeah."

They each eat another cookie.

A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner. I'm really busy with school and my parents want my grades to stay up so that I'm in special honors roll and I'm having a friend crisis at the moment.

Started watching Supernatural and American Horror Story. Almost done Fullmetal Alchemist and Gurran Lugann (I think that how you spell it)!

Hope you have a great day!
