Levi awoke suddenly and peered around. The room was still dark, but it was mostly because of the thicker curtains that had been put up, much to Eren’s pleasure. It was still disorienting for the older male. He chanced a look over at the younger, pleased to find him sleeping soundly.
He rose stiffly from the bed, pulling the curtains back a tad to look out the window. The first light of dawn was on the horizon - it seemed his internal clock was unaffected by the change in lighting.
Per his usual routine, he showered and then dressed himself in a fresh uniform and clicked his belts into place. Before he left, he made sure to plant a soft kiss on his brat’s lips, knowing he would be in trouble if he did not. How strange that such a trivial thing had become habitual.
His hand lingered for a moment on the brunette's growing stomach, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards as he was met with the fluttery movements from his child.
Upon exiting the room, he was immediately approached by the one and only Hanji Zoë. He glowered at her, “What the hell did you do to make him sleep yesterday?”
She looked surprised and then embarrassed, “W-Well since I didn't have an actual remedy ready yet, I decided to see if pinching the nerve would work.” Hanji chuckled nervously, “And suprise! It worked…. You're welcome?”
Levi continued towards the kitchen silently, still very much pissed off at his comrade. “Why are you still following me?”
The brunette was practically skipping beside him, “Well to let you know that I might be on the verge of making a remedy that will help my little titan out without putting the baby at risk!”
“Then make why are you following me rather than working on it?” He muttered.
“Well I've been up all night,” she commented lightly, “and I need something to wake me up so I can continue working!”
The short Corporal then elected to ignore the unnaturally boisterous woman as he got his tea and retreated to his office.
Eren strode into the office in mere seconds with a pout on his lips, “You didn't kiss me before you left.”
Levi paused and looked up at him, “Yes I did, you were just too asleep to notice.”
The brunette continued to pout, “Then you should've woken me up so I knew. I like those kisses.”
“Fine.. I will next time,” he conceded easily, secretly afraid of what fate he might suffer should he not. The Corporal moved to continue working but noticed that the younger had yet to move from his position.
“Eren?”
He shuffled a bit, “...Can I have another one..?”
Levi could only smirk in response, “That needy, huh?”
Red dusted the shifter’s cheeks, “N-No I just want a good morning kiss from you is that so much to- oh!” He had stopped and placed his hands on his belly.
A twinge of fear worked down the raven’s back. He was quick to get up and go to his lover, “Eren? What's wrong?” His gray eyes looked him over with scrutiny, trying to figure out what had occurred. He prodded again, “Eren w-”
Eren hummed happily while shaking his head.
He was going to respond when he noticed the pleased smile that was blooming on his brat’s face. Eren carefully guided one of his hands to rest against his stomach, looking at him with affection swimming in his cerulean depths.
Levi again went to speak but fell short when he felt a flutter beneath his fingertips. He couldn’t stop a light smirk, “Kicking again? I suppose that’s just as good an indicator as any that our brat will be strong.”
