The Ereri Project!

Off

Levi woke up starving and alone.

He'd gotten in from work so late the night before he'd forgotten to eat dinner and judging by the note Eren left, the brunette thought he deserved to sleep in this morning.

He sits up, stretching and yawning. He kind of just wanted to stay in bed and cuddle Eren but without the other man around that plan was ruined.

So he gets up and puts on a pair of Eren's sweatpants before going to the kitchen.

There is nothing to eat.

Well, it's not as though there's nothing to eat, there's crackers in the cabinet, some carrots, onions, and leftover pizza in the fridge, some ice cream in the freezer.

Just nothing he really wants for breakfast. So he sighs and starts jotting down a shopping list while he gets dressed.

As usual, he's a much quicker grocery shopper than Eren so he's home by ten-thirty, munching on an apple as his only breakfast.

The groceries are put away by eleven so it's still four hours before he can pick up Petra from school and he's already bored.

He hates having days off by himself, come summer weekdays away from work will be free time he can spend with Petra but right now it just feels lonely.

He turns on the Food Network and gets a good idea for dinner. He surprisingly already has all the ingredients so he jots down the recipe sticks it on the fridge with a magnet so he can find it later.

It's then he notices something sticky on the table so he decides to clean.

The kitchen is spotless when he's done so he ignores the nagging thought in the back of his mind that Eren's only going to mess it up the next time he bakes.

He moves on to cleaning the living room, opening the windows so the smell of Windex and Endust doesn't linger in the house for too long.

When he vacuums, he decides to do the stairs as well and ends up vacuuming the upstairs hallway. Which leads into cleaning his and Eren's and Petra's bedrooms and the bathroom as well.

Once the entire house is clean, he goes to relax but realizes it's time to go pick up Petra.

He lets her ride on his shoulders from the building back to his car and when they get home he cuts up and apple for her snack while she watches Totally Spies! (Childhood memories), which is a much better show than he would've expected considering it's "girl power!" motif.

After Petra's snack he helps her with her homework, dear god is elementary math boring and by the time that's done Petra reminds him it's time to start dinner.

Eren is home by five-thirty, finding Petra and Levi working on dinner together; baked chicken parmesan, mashed cauliflower, and fried green beans.

He smiles at them before walking in to greet them. "Hi Papa!" Petra says, hugging him.

He smiles, picking her up and kissing her forehead. "Hey sweetie, how was your day?"

"Good! Miss Rico really liked my book report you helped me with and Daddy helped me with my homework today!"

"He did? So you're already done?"

She nods happily. Eren smiles and looks at Levi. "Maybe you should stay home more often; we finally have groceries, the house is clean, dinner smells great, and Petra's already done her homework."

Levi turns and kisses Eren, smiling. "Not on your life."
