The Ereri Project!

Blanket

Levi frowns and pulls the blanket over his head.

It's too early in the morning and he's too used to having a bed partner to be comfortable right now. He really wishes Eren would just come home already.

The fight really hadn't been that bad. They'd had much worse over much more serious things.

But then again, neither of them had ever stayed away from the apartment this long either.

Levi wasn't sure whether to be happy or upset that the blanket smelled like Eren.

He sat up, wrapping the blanket around his shoulders as he extracted himself from the bed. It was snowing. Suddenly he was worried about Eren had gone. He didn't particularly feel like sitting in the cold all alone if it turned into a storm like the news had said last night.

He went to go start coffee, because there was no way he was going back to sleep now. He turned the living room light on on his way and filled the Keurig with water. He hadn't even gotten the coffee in the machine before his phone was ringing. "Hello?"

"Levi? Can you unlock the apartment?" Eren sounded sick, and like he was shaking.

"Eren? Where are you?"

"In my car."

"Why? Where were you last night?"

"I've been here all night I forgot my keys and didn't think you'd let me back in before you went to bed."

Levi could've cried. "You idiot, get up here."

The line went dead and it was only a minute or two before there was a knock on the door. Levi tore the door open and immediately threw himself on Eren. "Levi?"

"My god, you're freezing," Levi says, but he doesn't let him go.

He pulls Eren inside and kicks the door shut as an afterthought as he pushes his boyfriend onto the couch. He sits across Eren's lap and covers both of them with the blanket he'd been carrying around. "Of course I would've let you back in," he says into Eren's neck.

"You looked so mad at me I didn't want to push you any more than usual," Eren wraps his arms around Levi, trying to get warm after a night with nothing but his jacket. "Hey Levi?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you make me some hot chocolate?"

Levi cuddles up to him a little closer, pulling the blanket a little tighter. "Give me like five more minutes."

They both fall asleep in three.
