Breakfast in Bed (Erwin Smith x Reader) {Modern!AU}

Slivers of bright light managed to slip past the closed window shades, waking Erwin up from his much-needed slumber. The first thing he noticed the moment his vision was finally cleared from sleep was that the other side of the bed was empty and the entire bedroom was completely devoid of you.

He rolled over onto his back and smiled back on all the events that took place the night before. Ever since starting his new job, he's found himself having less and less time to spent devoting himself to you whether it be taking you out for fancy dates like he used to, or merely just to spend hours alone with your in the bedroom doing anything from watching a movie, or something more along the intimate lines. Now that he's been granted a full week's vacation, he didn't plan on spending it on anything other than ensuring that you'd be the happiest girl in the world.

The mouthwatering smell of sizzling bacon and fried eggs wafted its way up to the bedroom, eliciting a growl of hunger from Erwin's stomach. Normally by this time, he was already at work with a cup of coffee and nothing more than a slice of toast in his stomach. He could hardly remember the last time he even ate a normal breakfast, let alone one with you.

He rolled out of the bed with the whole day already planned out in his head. It would all start off with breakfast with you and then lead on with various activities he had in mind, whether it be a date night out of a fancy restaurant, or just a simple movie outing to the nearest theater.

"Where are you going?" you asked from the doorway just as Erwin began pulling on a pair of jeans.

He turned around to look at you, surprised by your sudden appearance, but even more surprised by what you had with you. To the bedroom, you carried several plates full of various foods ranging between bacon and eggs, to sausage and pancakes, and several more.

"I... was going down to have breakfast with you," he responded as he helped you set all the plates down, still confused by the situation at hand. "Why did you bring everything up here?"

Wrapping your arms around his neck, you stared up at him and smiled. "Since you rarely ever have days off, I wanted to make this week a great one for you, starting off with a nice treat of breakfast in bed."

Erwin couldn't help but smile. As simple as it was, it wasn't something he was accustomed to nor was it something he ever even fathomed you would do. It was usually he who went out of his way to plan special days for you so this sudden change in events, while extremely strange for him, was something he appreciated far more than he ever thought it would.

He placed a soft kiss on your lips and whispered, "You didn't have to do this for me, [name]."

"I know, but I just wanted to show you how much I love you."

Placing his hands on your waist, he pulled you in closer and pressed his forehead against yours. Even when half-naked, warmth practically radiated off Erwin and it was that same warmth that protected you chilly, winter air that still managed to seep in from outside.

"I love you too, [name]. I love you so much."

By the time it was well late into the evening, no fancy date night ever took place. Instead, the two of you merely cuddled up in bed and watched movies and shows for the majority of the day before you finally fell asleep, completely nestled inside of Erwin's arms.

Perhaps his original plan for that day never came to be, but he couldn't feel even the slightest disappointment. In the end, everything turned out to be better than he could've ever expected, and all because of you.
