The Ereri Project (#2)

Meeting (Pokémon)

Levi was absolutely right, Hanji, the Elite Four, and the Gym Leaders had indeed all been checked out like them.

Not one person felt remotely positive about any of it.

They all wanted to convene at Hanji's lab to talk and call around for someone to represent them.

But Eren has been having trouble with Marowak.

She refuses to go back in her ball and she won't leave Eren's side unless she absolutely has to. It would be fine but she also doesn't want to go outside and freaks out whenever Eren tries.

"Hanji called," Levi says, flopping on the couch beside Eren. "They're all on their way here."

Eren shakes his head. "This is ridiculous."

"I wasn't expecting anything to be this bad."

Eren looks down to see Marowak is napping on the couch beside him. "Finally," he whispers, getting up. "I'm getting a drink, you want anything?"

Levi gets up as well. "I'm making tea."

They walk to the kitchen and Eren gets a glass of water while Levi fills the teapot and puts it on to boil.

Eren rubs the bridge of his nose, leaning against the counter. "I need a nap."

Levi glances at the clock. "If you can stay awake a few more hours it'll be time for bed anyway."

Eren sips with water before setting the glass down. Levi walks over and hugs Eren. "Everything's gonna be fine."

"You hope."

"I know."

Eren hugs Levi back, kissing him.

Sylveon mews from the doorway. Eren looks over. "Alone time doesn't exist, does it?" he mutters with a frown.

Sylveon giggles and walks away so Eren kisses Levi again but there's a knock on the front door. Levi groans and his shoulders slump. "No, no it does not exist."

They walk back out to let Hanji in. "The others will all be here soon, we took separate cars."

"So why are you here first?" Eren asks.

"You've obviously never seen her drive," Levi replies.

The others arrive shortly after and they begin their meeting.
