Paint

"Oh my god I hate painting, why did we decide to do this?" Eren whines.

"Because Hanji doesn't think green is a good bedroom color and to be perfectly honest I'm done hearing her complain about our house."

"Well you have stupid friends," Eren grumbles, moving to paint more of the wall in front of him.

"I do indeed have stupid friends," Levi replies, painting his own wall.

On Petra's suggestion, they decided on purple, dark and almost blue in shade. Eren likes the color, he just doesn't want to paint. "When has Hanji been in our bedroom?" Eren asks, suddenly curious.

"Every time she comes over," Levi replies, annoyed. "When she says she's going to the bathroom she sneaks upstairs to go through our shit. If you wonder why I still hide our toys in the way back corner of the closet under a box of old pictures, she's why, not Petra."

Eren snorts. "Yet, you adore her."

Levi sighs. "Begrudgingly."

They go back to painting mostly in silence. "I told you we should have let Petra stay and help, this is so boring," Eren says.

"Armin wanted to see her anyway," Levi replies.

"But I'm so bore -"

Eren feels something cold hit the back of his neck and turns to see Levi holding up his brush, smirking.

Eren grimaces as some of the paint slides down his neck and under the collar of his shirt. "Ew," he groans and Levi giggles.

When Levi turns back to his own wall Eren tiptoes over and in a quick motion pulls Levi's shirt up and smears his back with paint. "Jesus!" Levi shouts. "Why is that so cold?"

Eren sticks his tongue out and Levi glares, reaching to get some paint off his back before smearing it on Eren's cheek. Eren gasps. "That almost got in my mouth!"

"Serves you right," Levi retorts, taking off his shirt. "Well, this thing's ruined."

Eren goes over to his paint can a makes sure Levi isn't looking as he dips his hand in. He grins as he chucks a handful of paint at his husband.

Levi lets loose a small shriek as he shivers, the paint coloring the back of his head and the top of his back. "You fucking brat," he growls and picks up his entire paint can.

"Oh shit," Eren mutters. Levi puts the can down and dips both of his hand in before going to muss up Eren's hair. Eren leaves a handprint on Levi's chest in his effort to push the older man away.

After Eren's hair is thoroughly painted Levi dips his hands in the paint again and smirks as he lifts Eren's shirt to tickle him. Eren shrieks a laugh and accidentally backs into the wet wall. They both end up on the floor moments later.

It's an hour and a half before they're back to working on painting.

...

"Looks good guys!" Hanji shouts from their bedroom.

Levi is working on cooking dinner while Eren is organizing the shelves with Petra's toys. Both of them have showered twice since the paint fight or else Eren might be worried Hanji knew they were goofing off.

As the brunette woman makes her way back down, she's grinning too much for Eren's liking. "What?" he asks.

"You might want to replace your carpet up there too," she says.

"Why?" Levi asks.

"Did you guys not realize how much paint is on the floor up there? Handprints everywhere, plus something else I think. It kinda look like cumstains."

Levi nearly drops his spatula and Eren's face goes bright red.

Hanji looks between both of them and then her grins drops open into a gasp. "I was only joking!" she laughs. "You really did bang covered in paint! I can't believe you two!"

"Shut the fuck up glasses," Levi grumbles.

"Hey now," she says, flopping onto their couch. "I'm just glad you two still like each other that much."
