House Cat [Neko!Levi x Eren, Attack on Titan]

Chapter XXXII

A/N: So the name used in this chapter has no relation or connection to the actual character I just needed a name for the bad guy. I didn't want to use Grisha or Kenny and have to tie it to one of the boys. Although it occurs to me that I could have connected it to the earlier issue in this book but I can't be bothered.

It was a Saturday evening and Eren was watching tv while Levi was trying a new muffin recipe. It had been a particularly uneventful week and the two boys spent both of it trying to keep cool in the hot July weather. That night Eren got an unexpected call.

"Hello, this is Eren," he answered the phone.

"Hey Eren, it's Petra, I need your help do you think you could come over to the shop?" Petra sounded scared which made Eren worry.

"Sure I'll be right over."

"Thank you so much!"

He hung up and stood up quickly. He grabbed his jacket off the back of the chair.

"Is everything okay?" Levi asked.

"I don't know, Petra just called me and she sounded worried so I'm going to go over there."

"Do you want me to come?"

"Nah, I'll be fine. I don't know how long I'll be though."

"It's okay."

Eren nodded and left. Out in the hall while waiting for the elevator he heard a door open and close behind him. Marco rushed up right next to him.

"Hey," Marco greeted, out of breath.

"Hi, I take it Petra called you, too."

Marco nodded. "Did she say anything to you," he asked.

"No, but I'm worried," Eren responded.

"I am, too," Marco agreed.

Eren was gone for a little over an hour and a half, he texted Levi to reassure him that he was okay. Levi was nonetheless still worried. When Eren returned home Levi went up to him with a worried look in his eyes. Eren just looked tired and a little upset.

"Are you okay?" Levi asked immediately.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine, everyone is okay," Eren assured him.

Levi stared at him for a couple seconds to make sure he was really okay. "What happened?" He inquired.

Eren sighed, he sat down on the couch and Levi joined him. This time, Levi rubbed Eren's back to comfort him.

"Well when Marco and I got there Petra was surrounded by a ton of paper on her desk and she looked more stressed than I've ever seen her," Eren took a deep breath.

"To make it short, basically Petra somehow is being fine for tax evasion and is being investigated for it and so is Marco."

"Why is Marco involved," Levi asked.

"He's the accountant for the shop. He and Petra went through the the records multiple times but nothing was different than it should have been. Petra could be fined 100,000 dollars and she or Marco could go to jail," Eren leaned forward and put his face in his hands. (A/N: Sorry if this is inaccurate, I literally just googled it)

Levi continued to rub his back, for Eren that was enough to comfort him. Eren eventually leaned back and Levi laid on his lap. As Eren petted him, Levi thought of something.

"Erwin could help," he said.

"What do you mean?"

"He's good at this kind of stuff."
