Yoga

Despite being older and having a busy career, it was well established early into their relationship that Levi is much more physically active than Eren.

He and Erwin go to gym together three times a week, most mornings he stretches and goes for a run before breakfast, and mornings he doesn't feel like running he does yoga.

Eren is thoroughly satisfied enjoying the results while maintaining his status as being too lazy to waste time exercising.

That is, until he notices slightly slight roll of chub at the bottom of his stomach when he gets out of the shower one day.

He asks for Levi to help him work out immediately after that.

On the first running trip he starts trailing behind in minutes so the morning after that Levi decides to have Eren try yoga.

"We're going to start with a simple sun salutation, alright?" Levi asks.

"I guess?" Eren replies.

"This right here is the mountain pose," Levi says, gesturing to them just standing there.

"I don't really need to know the names, if you don't feel like explaining all of it," Eren replies.

Levi shrugs. "I'll just tell you the interesting ones then."

Levi leads him to the first few poses until Levi says, "Now bend over and make like you're going to touch your toes but I want you to reach for the floor."

Levi bends easily, resting his palms flat on the floor in front of his feet. When Eren tries to bend over, his has to bed his knees a bit to get his hands on his ankles. "This is hard," Eren whines.

"You say that like I just told you to dive right into crane pose."

"What's that?"

"Breathe and straighten your legs a little more and I'll show you."

Eren makes a face. "If I could straighten my legs any more I would."

"Well try," Levi says and drops down into a crouch. "This is crane pose." He keeps his hands flat on the floor and shifts onto the balls of his feet with his knees in his armpits.

Slowly, his shifts his weight forward so all his weight is on his arms, his butt is in the air and his lower legs are parallel to the floor.

"That doesn't look so hard," Eren says.

"Oh really?" Levi asks, sinking back into a crouch on the floor. "Then you try."

"I will," Eren says and crouches like Levi had.

Not five seconds later his knee slips and he smacks his forehead onto the floor. "Ow."

Levi sigh and shakes his head, smiling. "Are you alright?"

Eren doesn't try to get up. "I don't know if my shoulders or my head hurt worse."

"I'll take that as a yes," Levi says and sits on his mat with his legs crossed. "Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to mention you don't actually need to work out as much as you think."

"Why not?" Eren asks, sitting up.

"Did it not occur to you that all that cake you ate last week might have had something to do with you "weight gain"?"

Eren stares at Levi before hanging his head and standing up. "I'm going back to bed."
