The Ereri Project!

Closet (High School)

"Levi?" Eren calls as he runs into his boyfriend's house.

"In my room," the shorter boy replies.

Eren walks in and sits at Levi's desk since Levi is folding his laundry on his bed. "Look what I got," Eren says.

Levi looks up to see Eren pull a Furby that is pink with white polka dots out of his bag, he feels his eye twitch. "Seriously?"

"What?" Eren asks. "You don't think it's cute?"

"I'm just wondering why you got a kids' toy."

Eren shrugs. "Berthoult got one that I was playing with. It was pretty fun until Reiner took it and started being mean to it and it got all sassy and less fun."

"He was mean to it and it turned sassy?"

"Yeah, they actually react to your tone of voice or whatever."

Levi stares at it. "Weird."

Eren starts trying to rescue the toy from its packaging. "Do you have a screwdriver?" Eren asks.

"You know we can't drink yet."

Eren looks up at his boyfriend who's still absently folding laundry. "That was corny."

Levi laughs. "Made me laugh."

"Do you have an actual screwdriver, though?"

"Probably somewhere," Levi replies. "My parents and I aren't exactly handy people, you know."

"Where should I look for one?" Eren asks, getting up.

"Maybe the closet in the hallway."

Eren goes down to the closet and opens the door. "Levi!" he calls.

"What?"

"How am I supposed to find anything in here? There's things piled everywhere."

Levi walks out into the hallway. He peeks past Eren into the closet. "Hm," he hums.

"Do you think I could find a screwdriver in here?"

Levi shrugs. "Who knows," he says. "Let's take some things out and see what we find."

Eren makes a face. "When was the last time someone cleaned this out?"

Levi looks around to pick a place to start. "When I was little I would hide in here so when I was like four or five mom starting piling things in the bottom so I would stop so it's been since then, I think."

"Jeez," Eren says.

Levi grins and pulls a heavy looking dress bag out of the closet. "Start piling all those jackets on the couch, I'll be right back."

Eren watches as Levi disappears back into his room and closes the door. Eren shrugs and starts carrying piles of jackets to the couch. "Eren, are you near my door?"

"Yes."

"Okay, stay there I need to make a dramatic entrance."

The door swings open and Levi strikes a pose. "How do I look?"

He's wearing a black dress that obviously belonged to a woman much bigger than him, elbow length black gloves, and a brown fur shrug around his shoulders. Eren laughs. "Why is that in your closet?"

Levi shrugs, brings the dress bag and hanger out so he can put the dress back; he only had the dress and things on over his normal clothes. "They belonged to my great aunt but when she died she left them to my mom for some reason."

After the bag is zipped back up, Levi leaves it on the couch and helps Eren move the last few boxes. "Wow, there's a light switch in here," Levi says and flicks it.

"Much better."

They look around, it's still crowded even without the jackets. "I guess we can move these boxes out next."

On top is the box with all the photo albums in it, Levi hands it to Eren to start a pile in the living room. Next is a box of old board games, then two boxes of old clothes. "How is there this much stuff in this damn closet?" Eren asks when he walks back over.

Levi looks around and notices something tucked into the corner behind a few old pairs of snow boots. He kneels down and pulls the object out. "Oh my god," he says. "It's my old teddy bear."

"What was that doing in there?" Eren asks.

Levi hugs the bear. "I probably left him in here when my mom stopped letting me come in."

Eren glances over to see, sitting on a shelf that Eren could totally have seen without them moving anything, was a single screwdriver. "Oh look," he says, picking it up.

Levi looks up. "You've got to be kidding me."

"Sorry," Eren says sheepishly.

Levi rolls his eyes and takes his bear to his room, closing the door. "Levi?" Eren asks.

"You can put all that shit away by yourself."

Eren frowns. "Levi!" he whines. "Please help me."

Levi doesn't let Eren back in his room until everything is put away.
