The Winter Project-[Levi x Eren]

Chapter Nine:Plans

Levis POV

The brat began to start to shivering, so I swiftly grabbed a blanket that I had over the back of the couch we were both currently sitting on. I spread the soft blanket over the two of us, being as gentle as I could. After A few seconds of being in the warmth, Jaeger nuzzled up against me and curled his hands up to his chest. His head was still located on my lap and my hand was still stroking his hair. I started to feel a little bit drowsy, which was very unusual so I decided to turn on the TV keeping it at a low volume so that I didn't wake up the brat. It didn't last long and I fell asleep in his comfortable presence.

I woke up to the sunlight and my phone ringing, I slid my phone out of my back pocket and read the caller ID expecting it to be Hanji or some other shitface, but instead, it was my boss, still just a shitfaced alcoholic. I sighed and tapped the answer button. "Hello boss, it better be important," I said keeping my volume down so I didn't wake the kid still asleep in my lap. "Hello Ackerman, I know you're on vacation for me and school, but I need an extra bartender tonight, and your one of my best workers, the customers love you, I'll pay you to double." My boss said into the phone, clearly trying to bribe me. "Listen, I have a guest at my house over the entire length of vacation, if he can't come with me, I can't come in," I said in all seriousness, expecting him to not want me to come in with a guest. "Well, would he be of use, does he have any talents?" He questioned interest peaking in his voice. "He can draw but that's about it," I said still letting my voice keep it's low volume, not expecting him to let this brat come in. "Alright, Ackerman bring him in." He said and ended the call.

I set my black phone down on my coffee table next to Erens, wondering how this brats drawing talent could be of any use. I checked the time that read 10:27, I somehow managed to sleep for more than 3 hours, but here I was all snuggly with a freshman at my high school. I have only ever gotten 2-3 hours of sleep a night. I decided that I should probably wake him up. I gently shook his shoulder while saying "Oi, brat wake up." When he finally woke up he realized the placement of his head, immediately turned bright red and slid up into a sitting position.

Erens POV

I was sleeping on his lap, and he hadn't even done anything! How the hell did we even get into that position, I tried to ignore it the best I could and greet him. "Oh uhh good morning Levi." He ignored my remark. "Brat, you can draw right?" He asked "Uhh yeah why?" I was confused at the sudden question. "Good. I have work tonight, I'm being paid double you're coming with me and the boss is going to make use of your drawing ability." He said as he stood up and walked into the kitchen. "What's your job?" I questioned, very curious. "I work the night shift at a bar, I'm a bartender there." Wasn't he underage to be serving alcohol, let alone working at a bar in the first place? "They have a strict dress code, I will be choosing what your wearing." He said not even turning to look at me while he made his tea. "Oh okay, what time do we leave here?" I asked. "8:00 sharp, it takes about an hour to get there and my shift starts at 9:30." He responded as he walked back and sat on the couch across from me.

"You can shower here, for now just put on something clean and matching, I'll replace your bandages after, of course, we will eat first though." He paused. "And by the way, I will be choosing what your wearing tonight." He then gave me permission to eat whatever I wanted to, and we both ended up having bagels, and he made me a hot cup of Earl Grey. Levi finished first so he told me he was going out to grab my bag from his car.

Levis POV

I walked out to my car, to go grab Erens bags. Before going upstairs to place Erens things, and get dressed for myself, I decided it was too cold in the apartment so I lit the fireplace, that I had filled with applewood because of its pleasant smell that it admits once it's burned. I then carried his luggage upstairs and placed it down alongside my burrow. I then was going to proceed to select what I was going to wear for work and what I was going to wear for the day. I didn't even know if there was anything he packed that would fit the dress code, and if he didn't have anything he would wear something of mine or we could just go out and have him fitted, but I would prefer not to spend too much money.

I decided to get dressed before I chose so I picked out an oversized black and white tye-dyed My Chemical Romance hoodie, and I paired it with some black skinny jeans. Once my used pajamas were in the hamper I chose what I was going to wear out for work tonight. After a few minutes at looking at the clothes I had in the work section of my closet, I finally decided on a white dress shirt with elbow-length sleeves, that would be neatly tucked into a pair of black suit pants. There would be black arm belts around my biceps, I would wear a black-tie loosely fitted around my neck, and I would be wearing half-palm gloves, leather, and black.

After that, I went and did every day tasks like, combing my hair, and brushing my teeth, when finished with these tasks I went downstairs to find the brat washing dishes in the sink. "You can have the bathroom, it's upstairs next to my closet.
