The Ereri Project!

Moonlight

Levi is annoyed to be coming home this late.

He should've gotten home hours ago but they needed extra help tonight and then Erwin insisted they go out for a while.

He didn't even get to drink because he'd brought his own car and, frankly, he was already exhausted since spending time with Hanji always drains him.

All he wants to do is go home and crawl into bed with Eren and sleep in on his day off.

He's tugging off his tie as he walks in the door and immediately notices something off.

The curtains and windows are all open. Eren never leaves the apartment open like that at night, especially when he's sleeping. "Eren?" he asks, walking into their bedroom.

But the bed is still completely made up, as if it hadn't been touched since they got up that morning. Panic begins to set in. "Eren?" he calls more loudly.

He walks into the kitchen and almost calls out for his boyfriend again when he notices something laying on the floor by the door to the balcony.

The door is completely open, letting the cool breeze from outside into their tiny apartment.

Levi suspects that is why Eren had stayed by the door in the first place, the heat earlier today must've put him to sleep when he was finished cleaning, which means the brunette probably hadn't eaten dinner either.

Eren is sleeping soundly on the floor. His hair is its usual messy mop, messier from sleeping. He's dressed in shorts a little too short and an oversized hoodie.

Looking at him, curled up and outlined beautifully by the moonlight, Levi almost doesn't have the heart to wake him up.

He sighs and goes to their room to put away his tie and kick off his shoes. When he returns to Eren, he kneels down and shakes the taller man's shoulder gently. "Wake up Eren," he whispers.

Eren rolls onto his back and smiles up at Levi dreamily. "Welcome home Levi," he says, stretching before leaning up to kiss the shorter man.

He pulls Levi down on him and they kiss for a while, molding their lips around each other's without much force.

It's late, but the lateness of the hour is one of the main factors in their slow movements on one another.

Eren should probably be in bed, since he has class first thing the next morning but Levi doesn't mention that when the brunette's hands start untucking his shirt.

He reaches down and gently starts pulling Eren's shorts off, kissing and nipping at the underside of the taller man's jaw and down his neck.

Once the shorts are gone, he makes for the hoodie while Eren is still trying to undo the buttons on Levi's shirt. They stop kissing just long enough to get off Eren's hoodie.

"We probably shouldn't do this on the floor," Eren says.

"Like I give a shit," Levi grumbles against Eren's collar, intent on leaving more than one mark before Eren tells him to stop.

"Just don't go to sleep when we're done 'cause I don't want you complaining about being achy when you wake up in the morning," Eren says, fumbling with another button on Levi's shirt.

"Goddammit, what is up with your shirt?"

Levi chuckles and leans back so he's kneeling to finish unbuttoning his shirt himself. "You're just impatient," Levi says.

He shucks off his shirt and throws it in the direction he threw Eren's clothes. Eren goes for Levi's pants next.

Levi tugs them completely off and crawls back over Eren, who is looking up at him with vague amazement in his eyes. "What?" Levi asks.

Eren runs his hands over Levi's chest. "It's just really cool all this gets to be mine."

Levi rolls his eyes. "Shut up, brat," he murmurs, leaning down to kiss Eren again.

Eren runs his hands down Levi's sides clumsily, intent on tugging off his boyfriend's underwear.

Suddenly, Levi sits back up on his heels before Eren can touch his underwear and pulls Eren up with him.

"Whoa," Eren says. Levi making Eren wrap his legs around his waist while he stands. "Shit Levi! What the hell? I'm bigger than you, you should not be able to pick me up this easily."

Levi walks them into the bedroom and drops Eren onto the bed. He's suddenly very glad Eren never closed any of the windows.

The moonlight is wrapping around Eren even more beautifully on their bed than on the floor. "God Eren," Levi says, leaning on the end of the bed and kissing the top of his boyfriend's foot. "You're so beautiful."

Eren leans up on his elbows to watch with mild embarrassment as Levi kisses and touches his way up Eren's legs.

When he get to Eren's hips, he leans up over Eren and kisses his boyfriend's lips. "I love you Levi," Eren says suddenly, more easily than he thought it might sound when he said it for the first time.

There's a long moment while Levi feels like his chest constricts and his throat gets tight. He kisses Eren again when he feels the younger man getting nervous beneath him. "I love you too, Eren," he says.

Eren lets out a sigh of relief. "Way to scare me half to death."

Levi smirks. "You caught me off guard is all."

Eren rolls his eyes and leans up to kiss Levi's neck. Levi tugs off both of their underwear and grabs the lube from the nightstand.

Eren pulls up his knees so Levi can reach his entrance more easily. "Whoa," Levi says, when his first two fingers go in much more easily than usual. "What's that about?"

Eren's cheeks flush. "I may or may not have been playing by myself when you called and said you'd be home late." Levi stares at Eren, who's getting more embarrassed by the second.

"Please stop looking like that."

"You're so sexy."

"Oh my god, stop."

Levi smirks but finishes making sure Eren's prepped enough. He lubes himself up and pulls Eren's hips closer by his thighs. "Ngh," Eren sighs as Levi's presses in.

He wraps his arms around Levi's shoulders and whimpers quietly in his boyfriend's ear.

Levi sits up and pulls Eren with him so they're both sitting up with Eren on Levi's lap. Eren sighs against Levi's neck.

Levi holds Eren's hips and starts bouncing him. "God, Levi," he whines.

Levi reaches between them to jerk Eren off. Eren gasps and holds onto Levi tighter. Levi's comes first and Eren chokes out a moan and comes at the feel of Levi's filling him.

Levi kisses Eren as they fall back onto the bed. Levi pulls back the blankets while Eren wipes down his stomach with a tissue.

Once they're under the blankets Eren cuddles up to Levi. "How was work?" he asks.

"Stupid and busy," Levi replies.

"And afterward?"

"Stupid and tiring."

"But did you have fun?"

"I guess."

Eren snorts.

It's quiet for a few minutes. "I love you Eren."

Eren smiles at the way his chest heats up. "I love you too Levi."
