Love Progressed.

Chapter 2

"Shit." Eren took a deep breath as he rubbed his waist and hips. They hurt alot. Levi was already dressed while Eren had only his pants on. They both just wore long pants with white button downs. Simple and casual. "Babe you okay?" Eren shook his head. "Not really. It's been awhile so it hurts really bad right now." Eren sat down on the bed and sighed.

Levi walked towards Eren and began helping Eren to wear his clothes. Levi buttoned everything and even wiped away any visible dust. "Stay here. I'll get some painkillers." Eren nodded and Levi went out. A few minutes later Levi came back with two pills in his hand and a glass of water.

"Here." Eren gulped down the pills and put the cup aside. Levi sat on Eren's thighs and put his arms around Eren's neck. Levi buried his face into the crook of Eren's neck and kissed it. He inhaled the wondeful scent of Eren. Eren smelt like vanilla and almond and Levi loved it. He heard Eren chuckling and felt Eren's arms around his waist. "So clingy." Levi faced Eren. "Shut up. I am not clingy unlike you." Eren just laughed and kissed Levi. "Okay whatever you say."

"Come on let's go." Levi said as he got off Eren. Eren tried to stand and walk. It hurt but it wasn't so painful. "Can you walk?" Eren took a few steps. "Yeah I guess so. It'll be fine don't worry." Eren smiled. Levi grabbed his wallet and keys and went out. Eren followed behind, making sure to off the lights.

They walked out of their house and to the garage where their car was. After the marriage, Levi bought a brand new house which wasn't too big and it had a garage that could fit four cars. Eren loved the house and they have been staying in it for roughly 4 months.

Levi started the car and drove out. It took them about 20 minutes to reach the restaurant. They parked the car and made their way inside. The place was nice. Elegant, had classical music playing and the best part, according to Levi, it didn't have alot of people. Levi hated people.

They got a table and sat. "So what do you want to eat?" Levi asked while looking at the menu. Eren thought for a moment. "I'll just have whatever you're having honey." "Alright then." Levi waved for the waiter and stated his order. The waiter nodded and politely left.

"It's been awhile since we've gone out together huh?" Eren asked. Levi nodded. "Yeah. It's been a few months or so." Suddenly a thought came up into Eren's mind. "Hey, Levi?" Levi looked at Eren and squinted. "You want something don't you?" Levi could read Eren like a book.

"Yeah. I want a pet." Levi raised an eyebrow. "A pet?" "Yeah a pet." Levi stared at Eren. "And exactly what kind of pet do you wish to own?" Eren scooted closer to Levi. "Anything furry and cute." Levi sighed. "Please please please please. I'll take care of it I promise!" Eren gave that look that made Levi succumb to every wish Eren had.

"Fine. But we're getting a cat because I hate any other furry animal besides this." Eren hugged Levi tightly and kissed his cheek. "Thank you thank you!" Levi patted Eren's head. Levi internally sighed. A pet? Great. Eren better take care of it.

Soon their food came and they ate. Levi reprimanded Eren of Eren's dirty eating habits and Eren just laughed. They were such a cute couple. When they were done, Levi quickly paid for the bill and they went out. Eren apparently couldn't wait and wanted to go to the pet shop and get the cat today.

Levi just agreed. They got in the car and made their way to the nearest pet shop. "You sure you want a pet?" Eren nodded happily like a kid. "Yes!" "Then you better take good care of it and make sure it doesn't die alright." Levi was always very straightforward and blunt but Eren loved that about him.

"Okay! Oh when we get it, what should we name him? Or her. Whatever." Levi thought for a minute. "What about Riren? It's kinda like your name together with mine and stuff like that." Eren squealed. "Oh my god yes that is perfect! Levi I didn't know you were this sappy!" Levi just gave Eren a glare.

When they reached the pet store, Eren almost ran in till Levi told him not to just incase he fell down or something. Eren quickly went in and looked at the cats. Eren was certainly enjoying himself. Levi looked as well. He admitted, they did look cute. He gave Eren some time to decide which one he wanted. Eren finally decided on getting the white cat with blue eyes. It was a girl and she was indeed beautiful.

They both then searched for items that cats need like a litterbox and bowls for the catfood. Levi let Eren choose everything while he chose the brand and type of catfood. He settled with a chicken-flavoured one with stuff that could prevent hairballs because there was no way he was getting that all over his clean floor.

They brought everything to the counter and the shopkeeper placed the cat into a cardboard box. Levi paid for everything and the shopkeeper asked his workers to bring all the stuff to Levi's car. Levi told Eren to get in the car first with Riren while he made sure everything was in place.

Eren got in the front seat and placed the box on his lap. He watched from the rearview mirror as Levi was instructing the workers where to put what. Eren smiled and looked back down at Riren. He placed his hand in and stroked her head softly. "Now you're one of us. Levi may seem cold and scary but you'll see that he's a total sweetheart on the inside."

Riren meowed back as if she understood. Eren scratched her ear. "Good girl." Levi got back in the car and started it. Then he began driving home. "Alright Eren. She's in your care now. Remember bathe her only once or twice a month no more, make sure her bowls have enough food and water, train her to do her business in the litterbox, change the litterbox every two weeks and if she gets anything on the floor, you clean it."

Eren took a minute to get everything processed in his mind. "Okay! How do you know so much about this?" Levi looked at Eren. "I used to own a cat before but it died of old age. Pretty little thing she was. But she was alot like you, clumsy and eats alot." Levi smirked. "Hey I'm not clumsy." Levi just hummed.

Eren leaned to the side and gave a kiss to Levi's cheek. "Thank you." Levi would have kissed Eren back but he had to focus on the road. "Welcome babe." Eren smiled.

When they got back, Levi made Eren set everything out properly. "We'll bathe her in the morning its too late now." Eren nodded as he petted Riren. Riren immediately fell asleep on the soft bed they got for her. Eren laughed. Eren got up and walked towards Levi. He hugged Levi and kissed the top of Levi's head, which wasn't really much of a trouble anyway since he was much taller than Levi.

Levi looked up at Eren and held Eren's face. "Tsk brat. Since when have you grown so tall?" Levi brought Eren's face down for a kiss. Then they both walked back to their room with hands held.
