Carrots

Eren frowns down at his plate. Levi chuckles and shakes his head. "You're the one who wanted to eat healthier," he says.

"Yeah but why does that mean my piece of steak has to be so small?"

"Because," Levi says, chewing a mouthful of broccoli. "Red meat isn't that good for you."

Eren frowns. "I can have more chicken than this, though, right?"

"When we have that for dinner, yes."

Eren spears a piece of broccoli with his fork. "Are you sure I'll like this? The only way mom ever made it was with cheese or butter."

"I promise you'll love it," Levi replies.

Eren tentatively takes a bite. He eyes go wide and he swallows enthusiastically. "Oh my god, this is so good!"

"Told you," Levi says.

"And here I thought you were bad at cooking," Eren says, grinning.

"I can make almost anything but pasta."

"And baked goods."

"And that."

Eren finishes his broccoli before moving on to his roasted potatoes and carrots. He happily bites a potato and enjoys it, but when he bites a carrot. "Bleh!" he whines and spits it back in his napkin.

Levi makes a face. "What?"

"Carrots are gross."

"They're good for you."

"Nope, I ate my broccoli, I don't have to care about carrots."

Levi shakes his head. "You have the pallet of a child."

Eren pouts. "I do not. Children wouldn't like tiramisu but I like that."

"That's just 'cause it's a dessert."

"So?"

"Eat your damn potatoes."

Eren pushes all his carrots over to the place where his broccoli was, Levi rolls his eyes. "Really?"

Eren frowns. "They're gross."

"Baby."

"I'm not a baby."

"If you weren't a baby you'd eat the damn carrots without complaining."

"Fine!"

Eren eats the damn carrots. Levi is very pleased with himself.

Eren crosses his arms once his plate it clean. "Happy?"

Levi nods. "Now you can go have your cupcake."

Eren is out of his chair in an instant.
