Chapter "37"

Levi woke up early the next morning. His hand wondered to the other side of the bed, but found that it was empty and cold. Oh yeah, Eren was sleeping in the lab.

Levi huffed and sat up. The sun had just risen and the sky was lit up in a red glow. He yawned and got out of bed. It was far too early for most people to be up, but he had told Erwin that he wanted to leave just after dawn.

He got ready for the day and made sure to wear his harness. They were bound to use the gear at some point, so it was worth it.

Levi left his room and walked quietly along the landing. Only a few people were awake; them being the servants. It's seemed that if they were rich and powerful, they would not be up until ten am.

He walked down stairs and found Erwin and Mike talking to each other. They turned and bowed as soon as they saw their King.

"Is everything ready?" Levi asked. They both looked up and nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, we have one problem," Erwin said. Levi frowned.

"And what problem would this be?" he asked. Mike and Erwin looked at each other and sighed, before turning back.

"It's Mikasa, Rivaille. After hearing about what had happened last night between you and Sir Eren, she refuses to leave him here on his own," Mike replied. Levi clicked his tongue.

"She will come when she is ordered. I understand what she means, but she is now in the Survey Corps. She needs to understand that. She also needs to understand that I'm keeping Eren here for his and our child's safety. Get her now. We leave in ten minutes," Levi explained, before passing the guards and walking to Hanji's lab.

Levi stood in front of the door and sighed. He opened it quietly and walked in. Hanji was already awake and sitting at her desk. She smiled to her guest, before putting her finger to her lip.

"He's still sleeping," she whispered. Levi nodded and looked to the bed to see Eren sleeping soundly.

"Why are you up so early?" Levi asked. Hanji shrugged her shoulders.

"Couldn't get to sleep. Felt like doing some work. Besides, I had a feeling you would show up," she smiled. Levi huffed and walked over to Eren's sleeping form.

"This sort of reminds me when he was in a coma. Damn this shitty brat! Why can't he just use his head for once and see that he could lose the child?" Levi said, still whispering. Hanji smiled softly.

"He's not in the best shape to understand. He just wants to be useful and not be just a face. Eren will learn soon enough that while he is like this, there really isn't much he can do. I'm sure he will be thrilled when this is over," she replied. Levi swallowed and nodded. He leaned down and kissed Eren on the forehead.

Eren shifted slightly and moaned quietly. Levi smiled and stepped back, turning to Hanji.

"Make sure he's well behaved while I'm gone. I don't want to come back this evening to find him missing. Understand?" Levi warned. Hanji raised an eyebrow.

"What am I? A babysitter? I don't think it count if the baby hasn't even been born yet," Hanji teased. Levi rolled his eyes.

"Maybe I should ask Eren to babysit you. You seem to need someone always watching you, and I'm starting to think Armin isn't enough," he replied. Hanji whined quietly.

"Just go, Levi. I don't need babysitting, and neither does Eren, but I'll watch over him. Have an eventful time," she wished him. Levi nodded and looked back once more his sleeping mate, before leaving the lab and closing the door.
