Breaking down walls (Ereri / Riren) fanfic 💖

Chapter "44"

Eren's coronation was only a day away. He was always called after meetings to discuss planning with a couple of the councillors. Petra helped with his studies and the memorisation of his lines. It was beginning to give him a headache. Even the tailor shop man and Hannes came to visit because he had to have robes fitted.

Levi noticed that after his mate moaned about that whole nesting shit, Eren began to sleep more. He would find Eren sleeping in their bed half way through the day; papers scattered around him.

Christmas was also around the corner, meaning that the whole palace was in an uproar about the Christmas decorations, in addition to the Coronation decorations. Eren had also been hearing about Levi's Birthday, but it was only slight. He could guess that his husband wasn't too fond of the event. On the night before Eren's coronation, Levi and he had a rare night where they weren't exhausted before going to bed.

Eren walked into their bedroom, seeing Levi sitting at the desk. The Omega smiled and waddled over, his hand on his stomach. He wrapped his arms around his mate, kissing his cheek, resting his head on his shoulder and reading what Levi was reading. "You coming to bed?" he asked. Levi nodded.

"Yep," he replied, before putting his papers down. He turned to Eren and got up. "You're going to be a Queen tomorrow. You do realise that, right?" Levi questioned, showing a bit of amusement in his steel eyes. Eren stuck his tongue out.

"Don't remind me," he muttered, stubbornly, unwrapping his arms from around the Alpha and walking over to the bed. Levi raised an eyebrow and sat down again, leaning forward with his hands together.

"Why?" he asked. Eren sighed, turning to his mate and sitting on the bed.

"I don't know what to expect. I mean, I know what is going to happen tomorrow; Petra had it nailed into my brain. However, what happens after? I was taught that the Royals were the people that set the example and had great responsibilities. I don't see myself as a very good example of good 'Queen'," he replied. Levi pushes his lips together, before standing up and walking over to his husband. He stared down at his Omega, putting his hand on Eren cheek.

"Eren, I can easily say that I'm not a very good example either, but I get things done. I have given you responsibilities because you wanted them. Your main responsibility, if you choose to do it, wouldn't need to be done until you're ready. Stop worrying about this whole royal shit. Just because you will have a royal ring on your finger, doesn't mean you will change. Your mother will look at you the same, as will Mikasa and Armin. I will look at you the same," Levi explained. Eren looked down at his lap…or tried to. "Come on. You've got a big day tomorrow and I would advise going to sleep, especially with the cub moving around so much," Levi then said. Eren nodded and allowed Levi to take his hand and lead him to bed.

"I'm not a toddler. I can find my own way to bed," Eren said. Levi smiled.

"Yes, but you're a brat going through pregnancy hormones," Levi stated. Eren smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Fuck off," the Omega teased. Levi smiled, before leaning down and kissing Eren on the lips. Eren immediately relaxed into the kiss and gripped onto his husband's sleeve. It was until Eren felt a hard kick that he hissed and pulled away. He gripped onto his stomach. "Ouch." Levi knelt down and put a hand on Eren's stomach.

"You okay?" he asked, looking at Eren. Eren swallowed and nodded.

"I can't wait to have this one out. That way, they'll stop treating my insides as a boxing ring," he said. Levi hummed and put both hands on Eren's stomach. It was that moment when Eren felt a flutter of faint but rhythmic tics. He looked down and saw his stomach jolting. Levi smiled.
