The Ereri Project!

Cook (Deaf)

Watching Levi cook is almost a surreal experience.

Eren sits in the living room with his eyes trained on his short boyfriend as he moves back and forth across the kitchen so gracefully, taking care of everything. Eren keeps receiving texts he can't look at because he's so enamored watching Levi.

Armin comes in first. "Hey~" he says. Then he notices how still Eren is sitting. He looks up and sees Levi and he can't look away either, he sits down and stares as well.

Mikasa comes in next. After seeing Eren and Armin so spaces out, she glances up at Levi. Having watched Levi cook before she just turns the TV on and sits on the floor at the coffee table.

Next comes Eren and Levi's mothers. Carla sits to watch Levi as well while Celia sits with Mikasa to watch TV.

After those two, Connie and Sasha come in and watch as well, followed by Marco, then Jean, and finally Annie, Reiner, and Berthoult. All of them but Annie, who goes to sit with Celia and Mikasa, stop and silently watch Levi.

When the food is all finally done, Levi turns to ask Eren to come help him set the table but he's startled to find nine pairs of eyes trained on him. Where did you come from? He signs with shaky hands.

Sorry, Eren replies. You just look really good when you're working.

Levi frowns. Just help me set the stupid table.

While everyone else goes to sit around the TV, Eren walks into the kitchen and hugs Levi. Not now, people are watching.

Eren rolls his eyes. Too bad, you're my adorable boyfriend.

Levi shakes his head and moves all the food over to the foldable table they got for occasions like this when they were going to have extra people eating with them. Eren set out of the cups, plates, and plastic silverware before calling everyone in for dinner.

Make sure you tell me everything you like, Levi signs when everyone starts digging in.

They're all too busy enjoying the food to notice.
