Experimenting With Miracles // ERERI

Chapter 6

It had taken about a week for things to completely calm down after their little feud. Levi and Eren had finally agreed not to talk anymore about what their baby might come out as and instead focused on keeping to the positive side of things.

A new development that had arisen was the fact that Eren’s old clothes were no longer fitting as well, especially his pants. His shirt still had stretch to it for his growing belly but his pants would hardly button anymore. And thus began the step into a set with an elastic waist. They felt bizarre but much more accommodating than his old pants.

But of course, with the obvious added weight came a bit of insecurity. Eren wasn't used to it and worried that Levi would begin thinking him ugly when in fact it was the opposite.

While he still loved the toned and lean form his lover usually had, Levi held a special adoration for his new pregnant body too. He supposed it had to do with the fact that their child was growing within that body, or perhaps it was the way Eren practically glowed when running his hands over his belly - whatever it was, he liked it just as much as he did the brunette’s usual physique. Reassuring Eren of that fact was something he devoted himself to doing nearly everyday.

Something else that had come up was the fact that Eren could no longer attend any kind of training, Hanji had practically forbidden it and Erwin had all too easily conceded to her wishes. Instead, he had been assigned cleaning duty practically everyday. The occasional cleaning job he could handle, but as he kept having to tidy and dust things he found himself hating it more and more.

Upon receiving his orders for cleaning duty that day, Eren was instantly in a poor mood.

“What the fuck is with you?” his spouse questioned as he buckled himself into his harness. He had immediately picked up on the displease the other was exhibiting.

“I have to clean the study hall today,” Eren muttered, “and I really don't want to.”

Levi wrinkled his nose, “Too bad brat, light duty doesn't mean off duty.”

“But they couldn't have had me groom and walk the horses? No I have to clean ,” he grumbled in annoyance.

His lover rolled his eyes, “The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be finished.”

Eren glared at him half heartedly, “Stop being sensible and let me pout.”

The raven shrugged on his jacket and headed for the door, “Whatever. Clean it well, I have to inspect your work afterwards.”

Eren gaped at him, “So I have to clean things toyour level?” The look he received said it all. He flopped back on the bed with a dramatic groan, “Dammit.”

“And don't worry about what you can't reach.”

He raised a brow, “Why not? I could use the ladd-”

“No,” came the protective growl, “no ladders.”

“Are you kidding me?!”

Levi crossed his arms, “No ladders.”

“How the hell am I supposed to clean things to your standards then?” He challenged.

“Someone else will clean those parts,” his senior replied levelly, “you just have to clean everything else.”

“This is going to take forever. ”

“Exactly, so get your ass moving,” Levi said.

“Yeah you'd like that wouldn't you,” the titan shifter muttered as he very reluctantly got himself dressed.

He yelped when he got a swift swat on his ass. He glowered to his lover who had a satisfied smirk on his face as he left.
