The Ereri Project (#2)

Stealing (Werewolf)

Eren has been excited for Christmas since the first time someone told him it was December. A fact that Levi would come to be glad about because he got at least three different lists from the child, making it easy to pick and choose what to get for him.

Lately, Eren's been a little more than obsessed with the Christmas tree Levi put up for them. It's small, because their home is small and Levi didn't want to sacrifice too much space for it, but Eren could care less about that.

He loves to sit and watch the lights twinkle when the room is dark, especially when Levi lets him sit on his lap.

Eren always smiles when Levi falls asleep when they're watching the tree together. He never wastes an opportunity to leave a chaste kiss on the lips of his caretaker since he would be much too embarrassed to do it while Levi is awake.

He turns as gently as he can so he can straddle Levi's lap, and then he rests one hand on the raven's shoulder and the other on his cheek.

Then he leans in slowly and gently rests his lips over Levi's. As his eyes flutter shut, his eyelashes barely ghost against the skin of the older man's face.

He always seems to stop breathing for that moment, as if hoping time would stop if he stopped acknowledging it.

Eren's face is always hot as he leans back so he always makes a point of getting up to do something else after that.

He wonders if it's wrong to kiss someone so much older than him so he clings to the moment that Levi said he loves him too, hoping it wasn't a lie to keep a child from crying any more.

It's Christmas Eve now, and he knows as soon as the tree's down he'll have to look for different opportunities to steal kisses from Levi, so he's going to savor what kisses he can now.

He wasn't joking when he put a mistletoe kiss on his Christmas list, he really is hoping Levi gives him one.
