The Ereri Project (#2)

Cat (Blind)

"Eren! I'm home!"

"Hi," Eren replies from his room.

"Come out here, I have something for you."

Eren comes out. "What is it?"

Levi smiles, taking the cat out of her carrier, she mews quietly from the disturbance but Eren either doesn't hear or doesn't recognize the sound. "You have to guess," Levi says.

Eren pouts. "I hate guessing."

"It'll be fun, go on."

"Is it something I told you to get or are you surprising me?"

"Both."

"Both? How?"

"More guessing, come on."

Eren sighs. "Is it edible?"

"Technically but I don't know anyone who would want to eat it."

Eren flops on the couch. "I don't like this game."

"Do you want a hint?"

"Yes."

"Hold out your hand."

Eren does, skeptically, and Levi brushes the cat's fur against Eren's fingers. He jumps. "That felt like fur! And it was... warm?"

"Yeah," Levi says, sitting beside Eren.

Eren gasps with a grin. "Did you get me a puppy?"

"You're getting closer."

"A kitten?!"

"Bingo," Levi says and sits the cat on Eren's lap.

Eren grins and gently pets the cat. "What's it's name?"

"I thought I should let you name her."

"What's she look like?"

"She's almost all black with one white foot."

"Only one?"

"Yeah, it almost looks like she stepped in paint."

Eren scratches the kitten's head. "How about I call you Mischief?"

"Mischief? You're just asking for her to wreak chaos on the two of us with a name like that."

"You said she looks like she stepped in paint; that sounds mischievous to me."

Levi shakes his head. "Fine, whatever."

Eren leans over to kiss Levi. "Thank you for my cat."

"Our cat, I'm assuming I'll have be the disciplinarian of the two of us."

Eren chuckles. "Sorry, baby."

"Yeah, yeah," Levi kisses Eren again.
