Breaking down walls (Ereri / Riren) fanfic 💖

Chapter "43"

They made it back to the Palace around lunch time. Levi had gone on horse back to the Slums, but walked back with Eren, Farlan and Isabel, while Erwin took Lucas.

Annie went with the guards, wanting to eat something. Eren smiled. He was glad he got to see her again.

"Annie disappeared after Hanji took you back to the Palace," Levi suddenly said. Eren turned to his mate and hummed in response. Isabel and Farlan were a few feet behind, having a conversation of their own. "She's always been like that. I glad that she is safe. The only thing I fear for is Connie and Sasha; she'll drain their food."

Eren smirked.

"She doesn't look like a girl that would eat much," Eren commented. Levi chuckled.

"True. But that girl has an appetite. She's never tried Connie's cooking either." Eren laughed a little as they went passed the Palace gates. It was there where he stopped for a few seconds like the world had froze right before his very eyes. Levi turned to him as he too stopped just ahead of his mate.

"Eren?" Levi questioned. Eren didn't say anything as he fell to his knees. "Eren!" Levi shouted as he caught his husband before he landed on his stomach. He shook him gently as Isabel and Farlan ran over.

"What's wrong?" Isabel asked. Eren was still concious, but was breathing hard. Levi felt his forehead.

"He's got a fever. You really are a piece of work, shitty brat," Levi muttered. Eren smiled softly.

"But you still love me..." Eren said. Levi nodded, before picking him up bridal style and carrying him the short distance to the Palace. Farlan had ran on ahead to get Hanji, who met them in the entrance.

"Farlan told me. Bring him to the lab," Hanji said quickly. Eren looked to Levi afraid, gripping in to his shirt.

"I don't want to go into lock-down," Eren said, almost crying. Levi sighed and said nothing and he kissed Eren on the forehead. Hanji smiled.

"Don't worry, Eren. Many people get fevers when they are pregnant. I just need to make sure you're alright," she comforted the Omega.

They walked into the lab and Levi placed Eren on the bed, sitting beside him. Hanji fetched a pail of water, soaking a cloth in the cold water, before placing it on Eren's forehead. She turned to her King.

"Go. Eren will be alright with me. I believe you have a guest to attend to," she said, smiling. Levi clicked his tongue. He was about to refuse when Eren spoke out.

"Go see Annie. I'm sure you need to stop her from devouring your kitchen," he muttered, smiling softly. Levi huffed.

"Shitty Brat," Levi said, before getting of the bed and walking out of the door and down the hall.

Levi could already hear noises coming from the kitchen as he left the lab. He opened the door and found Annie in the middle of a sandwich that was the size of a large baguette. She turned to the door and grunted to Levi.

"Chew, swallow, and then talk," Levi ordered. Annie rolled her eyes before doing as he said and swallowing.

"You got some seriously good food here, Levi. Compliments to the chief," she said, nodding to Connie, who was trying to calm down Sasha. Levi huffed and walked over to his childhood friend. "Where's Eren?" Annie asked.

"The lab. He got a fever as soon as we came through the gates," Levi informed. Annie nodded and put down her sandwich.

"He'll be fine. I'm just glad to see that he's alright. I know I told you that he and the cub would be alright, but I still wondered these past few months. Sorry I didn't visit sooner," she apologised. Levi shook his head.
