Protection *Ereri*

Chapter 6

When dinner rolled around, Eren was beyond starved. He wasn't usually the type to go out and buy himself real groceries, so he usually just bought a bunch of different TV dinners and called it that. He knew that Levi would most likely not go with that idea one bit being Levi seemed to be more of the type of guy who cooks a huge meal.

"We should go out tonight." Eren said as he walked into the room that Levi would be staying at and leaned against the door frame. Levi looked at him and rose an eyebrow a little bit.

"Why, do you not have food here or some shit?" He responded with before turning back and finishing the last box that he had left.

Eren huffed a little bit and turned his head slightly so that he was no longer looking at the male. "No.... I have food." He said to him.

"Then why do we need to eat out when we have perfectly good food right here to eat?" Levi grunted as he finished up the last box and turned around once more so that he was facing the taller male.

"Alright, fine. What kind of TV dinner do you want? I have some with pizza and mac & cheese, some with chicken nuggets and fries, some with just mac & cheese, some with spaghetti, some with chicken fingers and mac & cheese, some with-"

"Jesus fucking christ, you don't have anything else to fucking eat?" Levi said, clearly annoyed with the kid.

Eren shook his head. "No, I don't usually make big meals or anything. Why spend all the money on big fancy dinners when for 89 cents I could just get a bunch of those. One box for every night. And I usually pick things up to eat at a cafe or something for breakfast and lunch." He explained to the short male.

"You're a lost cause, I swear. We're going shopping right now." Levi stated before walking by Eren and heading towards the front door where his shoes were neatly set by.

Eren's eyes widened a little bit as he turned around and quickly followed him. "E-Eh!? But it's like 7 at night!" He said as he watched the male start to put his shoes on.

"So? Does it look like I care?" Levi said to him. "Now put your shoes on and lets get going." He instructed.

Eren grumbled a little bit as he walked over to where his shoes that laid in a mess and started to put them on. When he was finished, he stood up straight and looked over to Levi. Levi turned and walked out of the door, Eren following and locking the door behind them as they went.

As the two started to make their way down the hallway, Eren noticed Jean heading the opposite as him, towards them. A couple curse words started to leave his mouth as he tipped his head down in hopes of Jean walking right by him and not saying anything. Of course, that wasn't how his life worked one bit.

Jean smirked when he saw Eren and his eyes instantly moved to the shorter, black haired male who was walking with him. "Oh, don't tell me this is your way of trying to move on or some shit?" He said, letting out a small chuckle of amusmenet.

Levi glared darkly at the male. "And who the fuck are you?" He said in a dark voice to the male.

Jean rose an eyebow at the males attitude a little bit. He hadn't been expecting the male to kind of snap at that.

Eren let out a small huff. "This is the guy that I had been telling you about." He told Levi.

"Makes sense. He looks like a dumbass. Kind of like a horse, to be honest." Levi said, chuckling a little bit. However, it wasn't a fun, nice chuckle. It was more of a dark, very cold one.

Jean growled darkly and stepped closer to them. "What in the hell did you just call me?!" he snarled out.

Levi looked back at him. "A horse, did I stutter?" He said. "Looks like this horse is deaf as well." He said, smirking a little bit.

Jean let out a loud angry noise and brought his fist back, ready to smash it into Levi's face when it was suddenly grabbed. Before he had time to realize what was happening, his arm was being twisted behind his back and he was being smashed face first against the wall. "Ah! The fuck?!" He cried out and tried to move his arm around. His other wrist was grabbed as wel.

"I'm sorry, were you attempting to do something? I didn't even notice." Levi said, holding the man in place with a now blank look on his face. He tightened his grip on Jeans wrist and bent his arm even more, earning a loud cry of pain from him.

"Shit, stop, stop!" Jean yelled as he tried to get his arms free with no success.

"I don't really feel like it, right now." Levi shrugged a little bit. For a small man, he was far from weak. Eren couldn't help but to watch him with a big, happy smile just plastered out on his face. This was what Jean desereved for harrassing him continuosly. It didn't pay to be an ass. However, as much as he would love to see Levi causing Jean a great amount of pain, his stomach was starting to rumble from being so hungry.

When Levi heard it, he grunted and stepped back from the wall, pulling Jean with him. He released the males arms and shoved him down to the ground before looking down at him. "You got lucky for now. The brats hungry, so I'm gonna feed him. However, I don't advise letting me see you again. It might not end well for you." He said, staring down at Jean with his cold eyes. He turned on his heel and started to walk down the hallway again, heading the direction that he had just came from.

With a small noise of disapproval from Eren due to being called a brat, Eren also turned and hurried off after him, leaving Jean laying on the ground wondering what the hell had just happened.

Once Eren had caught up to Levi and the two were in the elevator together, Eren looked over to Levi. "Thank you, Levi." He said to him softly.

Levi nodded his head a little bit and shrugged. "It is my job. Literally." He said. Eren laughed a little bit and nodded his head as he looked ahead of him. "I guess so, but still." He said.

"Well, you're welcome." Levi told him. Eren smiled softly to himself and waited for the doors to open as he looked ahead.
