The Ereri Project!

Board

Petra sits on the floor by the back door.

It's raining and she's bored. Since it's summer she would usually be outside but Eren told her she can't play in the rain because of the on and off thunder all day.

So she sighs and stares at the puddles the backyard, wishing she were splashing in them instead of sitting inside.

But then, she gets an idea. She runs to the closet and climbs on a shelf so she can reach their stack of board games.

She pulls down the Candy Land box and runs over to the kitchen, she sits it on the table where Levi is sipping his coffee and reading the newspaper and Eren is reading a book while he waits for the brownies to finish baking.

"Let's play!" she says excitedly.

Eren smiles and Levi frowns. "Do we have to?" the raven haired man asks.

"Yes!" she says, pulling herself up onto a chair. "You can pick a game after we finish this one Daddy."

Levi sighs and folds up his newspaper while Eren unfolds the board. "Who wants to go first?" he asks.

"Daddy does!" Petra says, putting all their game pieces in a row at the start; blue for Levi, red for Eren, and yellow for herself.

Levi draws a card and finds he got one that takes him directly to Queen Frostine's space. "Aww Daddy, you're so lucky," Petra says.

Eren goes next, drawing a red card so he moves to the first space. "That's unfair," he says. "Daddy got to move all the way over there and I only got one space."

Petra giggles. "That's how you play Papa!"

She draws an orange card so she moves to the first orange space which has a rainbow bridge that lets her skip part of the board.

She laughs at the exaggerated frown Eren wears at that. "Seriously?" Levi says when he draws his next card.

"What?" Eren asks.

Levi shows them the card shaking his head. He drew the plum card so he has to go almost all the way back to the beginning. Petra laughs. "Now I'm in first!"

Levi just grumbles to himself as he moves his piece. Eren draws an orange next so he moves up to the same space as Petra making Levi glare at him. "That's how you play Daddy," Eren says, smiling.

Petra smiles and draws a purple card so she moves up a few spaces. "Yes!" Levi says, this time he drew a gumdrop card so when he moves up he's at least halfway caught up to them again.

Eren draws the peanut brittle card next. "Oh yay!" he says, moving up a few spaces past Petra.

"Ooo, Papa's winning now!" she says.

She draws another purple so she's only three spaces behind Eren now. When Levi draws next, it's a yellow. "Ooo, Daddy, you're stuck in the gummy gumdrops!"

"What's that mean?" he asks.

"Read the space babe," Eren says, pointing to the words written next to the space he's on.

His expression turns offended. "I have to wait until I get a yellow card?!"

Petra giggles at his minor outburst.

Three turns later Levi still hasn't gotten a yellow card. When his next card is a candy cane his picks up his play piece and throws it, getting up to leave the room.

Eren nearly falls out of his chair he's laughing so hard. Petra gets up to bring Levi back.

Their attempt at playing Chutes and Ladders isn't much better.
