The Ereri Project!

Essay

Levi comes home one day to find Eren typing furiously on his laptop. He chuckles at the concentration on the younger man's face.

"Do I have to get the fire extinguisher ready?" he asks.

"What?" Eren asks, stopping his rapid typing.

"It looks like either you or that keyboard are going to burst into flames if you concentrate any harder."

Eren rolls his eyes and goes back to typing. "I should be done soon," he says and then he stops again, looking up at Levi. "Would you mind proofreading it for me when I'm done?"

"What is it?"

"My Lit final."

"Ah," Levi says, trying to remember what Eren told him he was writing about as he gets a drink from the fridge. "I guess I can."

Eren nods and goes back to typing. It's only now Levi takes note of the stacks of papers sitting near the brunette; probably notes and research on whatever he had to write about.

The younger man's been breaking his back so hard studying and doing final work for all his classes, Levi can't wait for him to be done so at least he'll have some of his boyfriend's attention back.

Instead of going to turn on the TV and risk breaking Eren's attention, Levi instead goes to take a shower.

Alone.

He forgot how much he missed having all the space without Eren taking up have the shower but right now he's missing Eren washing his hair and back for him.

He pouts and hurries the shower along. When he gets out, he tousles his hair dry and walks to his room to put on pajamas, just hoping he won't have to go back out for anything tonight.

When he goes to check on Eren, he finds the brat asleep on the couch with his laptop closed and sitting on the coffee table. Levi smiles a shakes his head, walking over.

He squeezes onto the couch near Eren's head and lifts it so he's resting on Levi's lap. Levi runs his fingers through Eren's hair and grimaces. "You need a shower," he mutters, even though he knows Eren can't hear him.

He should probably reopen Eren's laptop and start proofing his essay but Levi finds, as he gets comfortable sitting with Eren, that he strongly prefers petting his tired boyfriend.

As he begins falling asleep as well he realizes he never took the trash out or called Erwin. He knows that since neither of them had dinner they'll both be up in the middle of the night starving.

He know what being up that early is almost a guarantee they'll be in bed early again tomorrow night; but the thing is...

He totally doesn't care.
