The Ereri Project!

Dinner

Eren wakes up to the smell of garlic.

He blinks his eyes open and looks around, Levi isn't in bed but Petra is sleeping in his place. He recalls a thunderstorm the night before so that's probably why she's here.

He pulls the blanket up over her shoulders and gets out of bed.

He pulls on a hoodie as he walks downstairs, finding Levi in the kitchen.

Making pizza. With opera music playing?

"What are you doing?" he asks.

Levi turns from his place at the counter shredding cheese. "Morning," he says.

Eren walks over. "Are you seriously making pizza at," Eren looks at the clock. "Six-thirty in the morning?"

Levi goes back to shredding the cheese. "Well Petra's going to visit my parents this weekend and both of us are working late tonight so none of us are going to be able to have dinner together so I thought we could have morning dinner."

Eren stares at Levi. "That's surprisingly thoughtful."

"Surprisingly?" Levi asks, sounding slightly offended.

Eren chuckles and kisses him. "I'm only joking, this is great."

Levi, blushing, continues shredding the cheese but his hand slips and he skins part of his palm on the grater. "Ow! Fuck!"

"Wha-" Eren looks down to see Levi's bleeding hand, he reaches for it immediately and drags him over to the sink to rinse it.

Levi hisses at the sting of the water. Bouncing one of his feet on the floor to distract himself. "Shitting fuck ass bitch," he curses, leaning against the counter.

"Sorry, I just need to know it's clean," Eren replies. "Stay here, I'll go find Neosporin and bandages."

"I'll be waiting," Levi grumbles, watching his blood run pink down the drain.

Eren comes back quicker than he expected, with the promised Neosporin, gauze, and medical tape. "My entire hand isn't falling off you know."

"Well the only bandages we have are too small with Powerpuff Girls on them so I figured you'd appreciate these a bit more."

Eren dries Levi's hand with a paper towel before smearing the Neosporin on a piece of gauze big enough to cover the entire portion of Levi's palm that had been cut open.

While taping it down, he notices Levi smiling at him. "What?" he asks.

"You take really good care of me is all," Levi replies.

Eren blushes. "Why wouldn't I? I love you."

Levi looks giddy. "Maybe I'll make sure I get hurt more often if it means I'll get your attention Like this."

Eren frowns at him. "You better not. I hate worrying."

After the gauze is all bandaged down, Levi hugs Eren. "I love you too."

"Good," Eren replies. "Now finish cooking, I'm starving."

...

Around lunchtime, Eren gets a call from Erwin.

"Hello?"

"I just thought you should know, Levi's being a huge showoff about the patch-job you gave his hand this morning."
