Ereri (completed)

CHAPTER 5

"I don't really know how to cook but since no one else here does, I guess I could-wait. Levi? What the hell are you doing out here?" I awake the next morning to Hanji's voice. I sit up and rub my eyes, taking in my surroundings. I'm fully clothed and sitting on the floor of the small kitchen. Hanji and Armin are standing by the couch.

"I have no idea." I admit after a moment. Hanji laughs.

"So where's your Titan baby? He's not up yet?" I blush slightly at her comment.

"I think so. I'll go check." I say, standing up and walking to my room. The door is just barely open. I must've sleepwalked. Odd. I push the door open the rest of the way and see Eren, still asleep, in my bed. I sit on the bed next to him and brush his hair out of his face. "Wake up, Eren." He stirs a little

"Hm... Levi...?"

"Yeah it's me. Armin and Hanji are in the kitchen. They're going to make breakfast if you want some." Eren nods and sits up, rubbing his eyes.

"When did you get out of bed?" He asks. I don't really know the answer.

"I'm not sure. I think I sleepwalked into the kitchen." I say finally and he giggles. "It's not funny. Just go get some breakfast, Jaeger." Eren nods and stands up.

"What about you?" He asks. I shake my head but he doesn't seem convinced.

"I'm going to shower." I tell him and he nods again before walking out to the kitchen. I grab a change of clothes and walk out to the bathroom. I lock the door and strip, setting all of my clothes on the counter. The hot water pounds on my back as soon as I step into the shower and relaxes my muscles. Once I'm done, I dry myself off and get dressed again, feeling refreshed. Hanji approaches me with some burned pancakes when I emerge from the bathroom. I turn them down and drop my clothes on my bed. Armin comes in after a moment.

"Captain?"

"My name is Levi." I correct him, turning around to face him.

"Oh, uh, sorry Levi. Eren is missing you out there." I smile a little when Armin says this.

"Alright. I'll go back out there. Has Erwin showed up yet?" I ask, moving towards the door.

"No. Not yet. I hope he does, though. I'm getting worried."

"Me too." I say. "But let's not think about that right now." I walk out of my room, shortly followed by Armin. Eren is sitting on the couch, looking comfy, and looks over when we walk in. He smiles and holds out his arms, which I practically fall into.

"Hello Levi." He purrs, kissing the top of my head and making me squirm. Hanji giggles from the chair across from us.

"You guys are just too cute." She says.

"Aren't they?" Armin agrees with a laugh.

"Totally! Do you want to see the field in the back?"

"Yes please!" Eren giggles. I can feel his chest moving beneath my head. I nod and we all get up, following Hanji to the elevator. When the door opens to the outside, Hanji leads us to an open field behind the patch of trees where our hide out is. It's not very big, but it's right next to the ocean, so-

"No Titans." Hanji finishes my thought as Eren and Armin run into the field, squealing happily.

"I've never seen him so happy." I say, mostly to myself.

"Go ahead. Go frolic. I won't judge you." Hanji's comment makes me chuckle.

"I'm not the 'frolicking' type. But I'll go with them. Keep an eye out for Erwin." I follow the two boys when she nods. The grass is long and I lose sight of Armin after a minute. He's shorter than I am and my head barely pops over the top of the grass. I suddenly hear some rustling and then I'm lifted off the ground. I squeak in surprise as Eren places me on his shoulders.
