The Ereri Project!

Walk (Pokémon)

"It's been a while since I've had these guys in their pokéballs," Levi says, gesturing to his belt.

"It's a little lonely," Eren replies, nodding.

"Is that why you let Sylveon stay out of her ball most of the time?"

"I would keep my whole team out but Gyrados and Arcanine are way too big to travel with."

"Hmhm," Levi chuckles and they walk for a while. "Thank you for coming with me. I don't leave home often so I might've gotten lost on my way to town."

Eren's cheeks heat up slightly. "No problem," he replies with a grin. "But I have to ask, what are you going into town for?"

"Hanji wanted me to pick up an egg she found."

"I could've brought it over for you."

"She said she wanted me to go."

"Weird."

"She's usually weird, I'm mostly used to it."

"Mostly?"

Levi shrugs. "You can never get used to a person that weird."

Eren laughs as they finally walk up to Hanji's lab. "Professor Zoe?" Eren asks as they walk inside.

"I'm out here!" she calls in reply.

Eren glances at Levi who leads the way into the backyard of Hanji's lab. "Watch out!"

Eren pulls Levi out of the way right before Hanji's Rhyhorn would've run straight into him. "Jeez, Professor Zoe!" Eren says.

"Seriously," Levi adds, trying to shake off the adrenaline he suddenly had.

She just runs over to her Rhyhorn, hugging him. "Great job buddy, you did it!" she exclaims happily. Her Clefable, standing off to one side, is clapping excitedly.

"Did what?" Levi asks. "Successfully attempt giving me a heart attack?"

"I finally taught him Bulldoze!" she says excitedly, petting him.

Levi just sighs and shakes his head. "Where's this egg you wanted me to take?" he asks.

He grins. "You can have it later, I just wanted an excuse to get you two here."

Eren swears Levi's eye starts twitching. "I had to close the goddamn farm for the day just 'cause you wanted to see me?"

"I actually just wanted you to take a break," She replies. "Only having Pokémon and the odd customer to talk to is not good for you."

"Yeah, well," Levi crosses his arms. "Pokémon are way nicer than ninety percent of people I've ever met so, personally, I think I'm better off."

Eren frowns at that. "I don't think people are that bad," he says quietly.

Levi looks at him. "I'm not surprised," he says. "You're in the other ten percent."

Eren doesn't have time to think about that before Hanji's saying, "Let all your Pokémon out, I actually have another reason for you two to be here today."

They do as they're told and all eleven of their Pokémon say their different hellos. Sylveon is in Eren's arms by the time Hanji starts talking again.

"I've been developing a different type of food for them, I wanted your Pokémon to test it out. In the meantime, I thought you two could go on a date or something."

Eren's cheeks flush. "A date?"

Levi smirks and takes Eren's hand. "Yeah, c'mon brat, take me on a date."

Eren's cheeks get even pinker. "Um," he mumbles. "Okay."

Sylveon grins at Eren and pecks his cheek encouragingly before getting down so Levi can drag him out of the lab and into town for their date.

The date is just ice cream and a long walk around town, but there's no distractions from the Pokémon at Levi's farm and they spend the entire time talking.

Levi kisses him before the end of the night.
