The Ereri Project (#2)

Spring Cleaning

Eren moans, waking up slowly to the feeling of kisses being trailed down his neck.

Levi chuckles. "Awake now?"

"I guess," Eren replies, moving of his hands up to card into Levi's hair.

Levi slides his own hands up Eren's shirt. "Good," he says, laying a kiss on Eren's lips. Suddenly he rolls off his husband and stands, stretching. "Because today is spring cleaning."

Eren gives him a dirty look before pulling his blanket over his head and rolling.

Levi pulls the blanket off him in one, swift movement. "C'mon," he says. "I'll give you a nice reward if you do really well."

Eren glares at him. "What kind of reward?"

"You'll just have to find out, babe."

Eren makes grabby hands at Levi. "Can we please just cuddle and be warm for five more minutes?"

"Uh uh, we're already behind schedule because we haven't had breakfast yet."

Eren tugs on Levi's arm, pulling him back on the bed. "Just five minutes."

Levi sighs and curls up around Eren. "If we don't finish today you're getting a punishment instead of a reward."

"That's fine," Eren says drowsily, ready to fall back to sleep.

"Daddy! Papa!"

Eren groans. "No!"

Levi laughs. "What is it Hazelnut?"

Eren listens as she runs from her room and practically breaks down their door as she bursts inside and jumps up onto their bed. The five year old worms between her parents. "I heard a scary noise."

"It's daytime sweetheart," Eren says. "There's nothing scary in the daytime."

"But I heard it!" she insists.

Levi gets up. "I'll go see what it is."

"Be careful Daddy!"

Petra and Eren watch as Levi walks out of the bedroom before turning to grin at how well their plan worked. Immediately they curl up together and get comfortable under the blanket to go back to sleep. They high-five quickly before closing their eyes.

Levi looks around for ten minutes before he decides Petra definitely didn't hear anything.

He walks back to the bedroom only to find both of them have gone back to sleep together. He sighs, scratching his scalp. It's much easier to wake them up separately.

He crawls back into bed and wraps his arms around the two of them. He has off again tomorrow. Spring cleaning can wait until then.
