"Daddy, daddy, daddy!!! Guess what! Guess what!" A little boy ran up to Levi, jumping in his arms. Levi easily caught him, and lifted him up to eye level.

"Yes, Caleb?" He asked the beaming blond kid.

"I made a friend! Can he come over!? Here, you can meet his dad!!!" Caleb jumped out of Levi's hold, grabbed his hand and dragged him across the elementary school yard. "His name is Zackery, and he's seven and super nice! He's my new best friend, and he doesn't have a mom either! Zackery told his mama that he wanted to live with papa. Zackery doesn't like his mama, she beat him, you know. So about two years ago, she dropped him off at his papa's house and he never saw his mama again. Zack's a little shy and didn't trust people easily, his papa has anger issues, but never takes it out on Zackery, which Zackery is grateful for." It seemed like Caleb was trying to tell Levi his new friend's whole life story before they meet Zack's dad. "There they are!!! Hi, Zack!!!"

He waves at another boy that had dark, dark brown hair, but it wasn't quite black, either. The kid, who Levi assumed was Zack, waved back by raising his hand in recognition. Levi looked around for the dad, who he thought would be a big biker, drunk that slapped his kid if the kid spoke when he wasn't spoken too. But all Levi saw was who looked like Zack's older brother.

Caleb let go and hugged Zack, and whispered something that Levi, nor the other person, heard. Eren stepped forward, sticking his hand out for a handshake. Levi grabbed it. Eren spoke first, "hi, my name's Eren. Zack's told me so much about Caleb, he's pretty excited, even if he has a hard time showing it. But that's alright" laughs, letting go of Levi's hand.

Levi nodded, "I'm Levi, Caleb's dad. Are you his older brother?"

Eren laughs, a little nervously, "Er, no. I'm his dad"

Levi blinked in surprise, and asked, "how old are you?"

"Um, 24." Eren said, smiling

Levi did mental math in his head, and realized that Eren would have been approximately seventeen when he had his kid. Levi thought for a moment, before asking suddenly, "Would you and Zack like to come over for dinner, tonight?"

Eren grins, "We would like that very much, thank you"

~~~~~~~~ Later that night~~~~~~~~

"Zack! come on in! Let's go play in my room! Dad hasn't finished dinner yet!" Caleb tugs on Zack's wrist, pulling him in the house, Zack looked up at Eren for permission. 

Eren nodded, "Go ahead, Zack." 

"YAY!!!" Caleb started to show Zack his room, when he stopped and turned to Eren "Oh, dad's in the kitchen, just through that small hallway." Eren nodded once more, took his shoes off, and used Caleb's directions to find the raven cooking in the kitchen. 

Levi was at the stove, looking like he was cooking some sort of pasta. Eren knocked on the doorway, causing Levi to turn around. "Hello, did you have an easy time getting here?" 

Eren nodded, "Yeah, your directions were detailed and simple enough to where Zack could repeat them," He laughed, "would you like my help with dinner?" Levi was about to refuse, when he thought about it. He didn't know why, but he felt a special connection to the younger brunet standing in his kitchen.

"Yes, please, that would be nice. Will you stir the noodles?" Levi asked, turning his attention back to the close to done spaghetti sauce. Eren comes up behind Levi, and unintentionally reaches around him, grabbing the giant spoon to stir the pasta with. Levi didn't notice, and takes a small step back, his back pressing into Eren. They both froze, Levi started to blush lightly, feeling the warmth that Eren was just about radiating. The raven's skin was always cold, no matter how cranked up the thermostat, or how many blankets he would have on his bed, his skin was just about ice. Eren, on the other hand, had a problem that was the opposite. He was always warm, to the point that he didn't even wear a jacket or shoes when he went in the snow. 

It was like they were perfectly made for each other, in perfect harmony, balancing the other. Levi figure fit perfectly in Eren's. That's when they clicked, and fell for each other. They finally both snapped out of the trance, and Levi stepped away. They sheepishly continued cooking, not even daring to look each other in the eye. Although that didn't meant that they didn't steal glances at each other when the other wasn't looking.

Meanwhile, the boys were watching from around the corner, getting to witness the entire thing. They silently high fived, and Caleb whispered, "Get dad and papa together, phase one complete." 

Zack continued, "one step closer to them falling in love, and us becoming brothers."
