Jäger ((EreRi)) DISCONTINUED

Chapter Nine:

After we returned to the campsite we all had a delicious, stereotypical camping meal of cornbread and beans then decided that it was time to rest up for the next day.

I didn't realize that I still wore my tracking collar until Mikasa pointed it out to me. I had totally forgotten all about it. Hey, maybe I'd adapt to shirts too.

I fumbled with the collar until I got it off my person. Perhaps I'll ask Levi if I still need it. I wouldn't think so; I'm practically apart of the group already.

It was still early in the morning. About the same time I got up yesterday. I noticed the red marks from the gear straps on my pale skin. Oh great Levi might gripe at me about not wearing a shirt. Still, I got off my ass and traveled into the city of tents. This time there was no mess and Hanji was in her own tent. I bet a million dollars the only reason why it's like this is because Levi lectured her about being sanitary and not a slob.

I was about to unzip the entrance to Levi's room before the thoughts of Levi kicking my ass for waking him up without coffee. Which led to another idea. Perhaps I'll make coffee for everyone. A gift.

I exited Tent City and went to the back of the van to pull out the portable coffee maker and mugs; placing it all on the table. One problem. I forgot how to make coffee. Perhaps I'll ask Armin how. He was familiar with all of this stuff and has probably made coffee countless time.

I walked over to the little, isolated tent where Armin slept. He apparently preferred it that way so he could quietly read and study random subjects. He was a bookworm. I quietly peeked inside to find him reading a book.

"Oh? Hi, Eren," Armin smiled as soon as he saw me.

"Hey, Armin. Can I have your help?" I asked.

"Of course, what with?"

"Making coffee,"

Minutes later I was being walked through the steps to making good coffee...again. I can be hopeless.

"Got it?" Armin asked.

"Yea, thanks," I smiled before pouring three mugs of coffee, along with the creamer for each member. Excluding Me, Armin, and Mikasa.

Armin took Erwin and Hanji's mug. "I'll wake up these too, I'm too scared to wake up Levi," he laughed nervously and that fear was totally understandable.

I grabbed Levi's mug, walking over to his tent. I quietly unzipped the flap and walked inside.

"Levi?" I said quietly. He shifted in his sleep position and I decided to step closer. "Levi, I brought coffee." He shifted some more and I decided to leave the mug on his makeshift nightstand and turn tail to leave. His hand caught my wrist as a turned away.

"Oi, brat don't forget what I said we'd do today," he said tiredly.

"Hm?"

"You're putting a shirt on, kid. We're going shopping for you,"

Oh yea. How could I forget. Confinement.

I sighed "Do you even have a shirt that will fit me, shorty?" Dammit, I did it again. I crossed the line. The next thing I knew, Levi had dragged me down onto the mattress, pulling my head back by my hair.

"What did I say about the short jokes?" Levi hissed, his face dangerously close to mine. "Brat, as a matter of fact I do have a shirt for you and your going to wear it with out complaining or being a smart-ass,"

I nodded, sweat beading up at my forehead. "Yes, sir," he released his grip and pushed me to get up off his mattress.

"Get dressed right now, we're going after breakfast. I have stuff to do today," Levi said. He got up and pulled a shirt out of a suit case, tossing it to me. I must've looked looked like a mess wearing sweat pants and a plain white shirt.
