Kindergarten teacher. (Erwin X Levi)

Chapter 12: Chapter XII

"Hey, I'm almost on my way but I thought that maybe you need something from the market?"

"Good that you are asking,"

A slow smile worked its way across Erwin's face when Levi started to ask him for more things and Erwin wished he had something to write.

"And some paper towels, but not the cheap ones they are sharp and thin. I like the one with several layers, preferably cotton,"

Levi kept adding more things to his wish list and Erwin could barely remember what he said five seconds ago but nodded when Levi asked if he gets it.

"And don't forget anything,"

"Yeah, I will try,"

Erwin agreed with a small tone of excitement but was still nervous, the short script of what could happen if he forgot something went through his head and he didn't notice that the phone is still glued to his ear with Levi being quiet. Erwin wanted to ask something but he was faster.

"Hey."

He started sounding different as if he was thinking hard about his next words. Probably holding his phone tightly now, no one beside him could see that the was nervous.

"Yes?"

Erwin asked too fast, curiouaboutof that tone and the tension Levi build with just one word.

"Buy condoms,"

It's Friday evening and Erwin feels like everyone is watching him when he chooses the condoms. The employee who is walking around this section stopped near him for like the fifth time.

It's a nervous experience when he is doing this along with e, so many packs in front of him, Erwin doesn't see the difference. Thin, sensitive, extra safe, classic. He takes too much time to think about which one Levi would like.

Holding the pack of max pleasure he got a little too excited thinking that something might happen today. Levi told him to buy something for late dinner, by himself he chose the wine and he hopes to spend the weekend nicely with Levi while Isabel is with her mother.

He walks around the market, having the worst behind him when the pack of condoms is hidden behind the salad. He enters the same sections, thinking if he had everything Levi asked him to buy. He got the paper towels, napkins, green toothpaste, plastic gloves, fresh salad, three bottles of water, detergent, and black tea.

Going to the cash with his shopping cart full he hopes that he has everything.

Erwin left with four bags, after intensive shopping with a lot of negative emotions. His hands freezing in this weather but thank god it's only fifteen minutes walk to Levi's block. He uses the stairs instead of the lift and knocks on his doors with his elbow.

"That's a lot of bags,"

Levi welcomed him with these words, taking them all, Erwin's shoulders immediately relaxes, there are marks on his fingers from the bags. His hands were red from cold, he couldn't hide them in his pockets.

The heat hit him as soon as he closed the doors. It's his third time here and Levi's flat is always so warm, everything is light and clean. Erwin wonders how he keeps it this clean while taking his shoes off.

"Cold?"

Levi asks from the kitchen and Erwin answers him when he is there with him. Levi didn't turn around, busy unpacking the bags.

"Freezing," He says as he sits down on the chair. "As hell,"

He feels even colder when he looks at the short-sleeved t-shirt Levi is wearing that covers only his arms.
