The Ereri Project (#2)

Lotion

Levi is laying down for bed, waiting for Eren to come in so they can go to sleep.

Eren comes in rubbing his arms. Levi's eyebrows furrow. "What're you doing?"

"Putting lotion on," Eren replies, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You wear lotion?"

"I always wear lotion. You didn't notice the bottle of Jergens in the bathroom?"

Levi thinks for a moment. "I did but I guess I wasn't thinking about it."

Eren almost lays down but he rolls right back off the bed, walking back out.

"Where you going'?" Levi calls after him.

"Forgot to moisturize my face."

Levi shakes his head. What kind of man moisturizes like this? Eren comes back in rubbing his cheeks. "What's the lotion for anyway?" Levi asks. "You're really soft."

"That's 'cause I wear lotion. You've never seen how dry I get if I don't. I actually get tiny cuts on the ends of my fingers if I don't put it on my hands a few times a day."

Levi watches as Eren lays down. "Weird."

"You should try it," Eren says, getting comfortable. "It would make your hands smoother."

Levi makes a face. "You think my hands are rough?"

"A little," Eren says. "Especially on my thighs."

Levi gets back out of bed.

"Where're you going?"

Levi walks into their bathroom and looks at the lotion bottle on the counter. It's cherry-almond scented.

He's skeptical, because that sounds like it smells feminine, but Eren doesn't smell like a girl so it must not smell very strong. He pumps some into his palm and rubs it in. He has to admit, his hands do rub together more smoothly this way.

When he gets back to the bedroom, Eren is sitting back up looking confused. Levi is still rubbing his hands together as he gets back in bed. "Did you just go put lotion on?" Eren asks.

Levi lays back down so Eren does too. Levi immediately turns to him and shoves his hand into Eren's pants. The brunette shrieks as Levi's hand moves around to rubs the back of Eren's thigh. "Is that better?"

Eren looks at Levi with more confusion but realizes what just happened quickly. "Oh. Yeah, actually."

"Good," Levi replies, pulling his hand back out and hugging Eren. "I'll start wearing it too then."
