The Ereri Project!

Sweetheart

Levi was INCREDIBLY annoyed to find out he was working on Valentine's Day and wouldn't be home until around seven or eight that night.

As he shuffles up the stairs to their apartment all he wants to do is sleep.

He surprised when he finds the lights off, candles everywhere, and mood music playing when he opens the door. There are rose petals on the floor leading a path to the kitchen.

"Eren?" he asks, his mouth quirking up into a smile.

"In here!" Eren calls from the kitchen.

He's moving spaghetti from a strainer to a bowl when Levi walks in. "What all this?"

Eren puts the strainer down and walks over to Levi, kissing him. "Happy Valentine's Day!" he says. "I hope you're not too annoyed about work to enjoy all this."

It's only now Levi realizes what Eren's wearing. A white long-sleeve shirt, tiny red shorts, pink and red striped knee high socks, and a red, white, and pink apron with a huge pink bow tied at the small of his back. "How can I not?" he asks.

Eren blushes and turns back to preparing dinner. "Get ready to eat, I'm almost done."

"Do you want your first present now or with your other present after dinner?" Levi asks, walking toward their room to take off his jacket and shoes.

"I get two?" Eren asks.

Levi walks out holding a reasonably large box wrapped in shiny red paper with hearts on it. "Technically the second one is for both of us, this one is just for you."

"Oh yeah," Eren says and turns to the drawer where he keeps the measuring spoons. He pulls out a much smaller box wrapped in pink and white striped paper. "Here's yours."

"Why don't I get a big box?" Levi asks, half joking.

"Cause I had to deal with Hanji to make dinner happen tonight, okay?" Eren says. "Let me get the food on the table they we can open the presents. What kind of wine do you want?"

"Whatever Erwin brought us yesterday looked good," Levi says, taking a seat at their kitchen table. It's only now he notices the vase of flowers on the table. "Where'd these come from?"

"Hanji brought them when she came to help me earlier."

Eren sets a plate of spaghetti and meatballs and a slice of garlic bread in front of Levi. "It looks good," he says, actually impressed.

"She left before it was done so if it doesn't taste good my backup plan is frozen pizza."

Eren sits his own plate on the table before picking up the wine bottle and a corkscrew and sitting beside Levi. "Shit, I forget glasses."

"I'll get them," Levi says, getting back up.

"Thank you," Eren says, popping the bottle open.

Levi sits back down and Eren pours their glasses while Levi finally gets a taste of dinner. "Oh my god," he says.

"Is it bad?"

"No, it's great. You never cook this well."

"Hanji left instructions so specific she promised I couldn't mess it up. I guess she was right then," Eren says, taking a bite himself. "She's crazy, but she's a wonderfulchef."

"Want your present now?"

Eren makes a grab for the box and Levi pushes his back in his seat. "Gotta be careful, this is breakable, I don't care how much packaging is around it in the box."

"Breakable?"

Levi nods as Eren takes the box. "Yours is less breakable," Eren says, handing Levi his present.

"You go first," Levi says.

Eren starts pulling at where the wrapping paper is taped down. "No way," Eren says. "How did you-"

"You've been staring at that damn thing every time we have gone past your favorite cookware store since they started carrying it."

It's a cake stand. The stand part is tall with beads hanging off making it look almost like a diamond chandelier, the lid is glass with silver wire on the outside making it look like a birdcage. Eren grins as he stares at the box. "Thank you so much," he says.

"Can I open mine now?" Levi asks.

Eren sits his box beside him on the table. "Go ahead."

Levi rips off the paper hurriedly. He quirks an eyebrow at the cardboard jewelry store box in his hands. "Eren," he says warningly.

"Just shut up and open it," Eren says, taking another bite of his dinner.

Levi is surprised he doesn't find a velvet box inside. "Chocolate?" Levi asks.

"I told you I was trying out making chocolate with coffee in it a few days ago."

"I thought you said they all turned out awful."

"This is the only recipe that came out okay and I didn't have enough ingredients left to make more so this is all you get."

Levi smiles at him. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

They eat quietly and Eren makes sure he finishes first. "One more surprise," he says.

Levi makes a face, still finishing his meal. He gets curious at the sound of the bath starting to run. He puts his plate in the sink and walks to the bathroom where there are even more candles lit everywhere, and rose petals in the water. "Way to be cliché," he says.

"Shut up," Eren says.

"You might wanna open your other gift before we get in the bath."

Eren looks at Levi, and blushes when it clicks. "You didn't."

"Go ahead, it's in the bottom of my side of the closet."

Eren runs into their room and finds three boxes wrapped in the same paper as earlier in the bottom of Levi's closet. "What is this?" Eren asks.

"Open the flattest one first," Levi says, leaning in the doorway.

Eren sits on the bed and starts opening the box Levi told him first. He blushes when he finds a light pink corset with white lace frills at the top and bottom, a pink thong, and white thigh high stockings. "Now open the smaller of the other two boxes.

Eren unwraps it and almost squeal's when he find it's a princess tiara. "Oh my god."

"Open the last one so we can take a bath already."

In the last box is a pair of pink high heels that Eren can't wait to put on. "Okay, bath time now," Eren says and starts stripping.

"Thank you," Levi says and they rush back into the bathroom.
