Levi X Reader 3

Ch. 5: First Day

With Furlan in your arms, you walk toward that one wooden table with all the familiar faces still sitting there. The table now looks a bit ragged and beat up from the years that you've dined on since the beginning of your cadet years.

You walk behind Sasha, as Furlan simultaneously leans down to hug the red haired girl's head, "Sa Sa!" Furlan calls as he hugs her head like he's hugging a puppy in his arms.

Sasha laughs whole heartedly, as her eyes glance up through the crack made between his small arms, still not being able to see Furlan from her view, but reaches behind her and ruffles Furlan's head with her hand.

"Furlan, long time no see buddy!" Sasha turns around to look at him, as Furlan let's her head go.

Sasha grabs your fingers wrapped around Furlan, and gives you a wide grin, "_____, we miss you so much. When are you coming back?" Sasha says as she leans on your head that was close to Furlan's small butt.

"That's what I came here to tell you guys. I'll be coming back starting tomorrow." you say.

Macro gives a wide smile, while Armin clasp his fingers together as if praying for good news as his eyes lite up.

Mikasa nods as she gives a content smile hidden partially behind her red scarf. Eren on the other hand crosses his arms across his chest as he says, "Good to hear. Now we have more hands to work with."

While Jean pumps his fist in the air, "Yesss!" he sounded all too dramatically, as the group glances at him. Jean clears his throat, "I mean, good to have you back." as he adjusts himself in his seat.

"Only for half a day though, because I'll need to pick up Furlan at daycare starting tomorrow." you say as you take a seat beside Sasha. Placing Furlan to sit on your lap.

Sasha glances down at Furlan, as Furlan reaches out both his small arms towards her. "Hug." Furlan demanded "...please." he says shyly to be more polite at the end.

Sasha chuckles as he glances at you than back at Furlan. From the side you could hear Marco and Armin sound out, "Awww~"

You lift Furlan up from your lap with both hands and put him into Sasha's arms. She looks like she's hugging Furlan like a teddy bear, Furlan smiles cutely as he lay his head on Sasha's shoulder, a person who he has considered a very good friend since he laid eyes on him. You smile at Furlan's warm friendship with Sasha.

Out of the blue,
"See I told you. He's getting all the ladies." Connie says, as he lands his hand down onto Jean shoulder.

Jean looks at Connie, "He's going to daycare too." Jean says.

Connie exclaims, "When?"

"Tomorrow." Eren simply replies.

"And ____ is coming back starting tomorrow as well." Jean continues.

Connie gives Jean a devilish grin as his hand gives Jean's shoulder a light squeeze, "Don't be too excited my friend, she needs a good old punching bag to warm up."

"Glad to." Jean says as he leans an arm on top of the wooden table and leans foward with a grin as he looks at you.

You narrow your eyes at him then give back a cheeky grin, "Are you making an offer?"

"Yes." Jean replies with much confidence.

You're ready to give it to him all you got. You can't wait to get back to work.

After lunch, you asked what Sasha would be doing the rest of the day. She said she's assigned to continue to file the papers for the research that Levi, Commander Erwin and his group had done when they were on their last exploration which restrain them from coming home for months. And there are still a ton of stuff to organize, which are piled up in Hange's basement.

You hesitate to bring Furlan to see Hange's basement. Would he be scared, excited or just in awe since everything is still new to him ?
He has never seen a real titan except for the ones from Hange's storybook. You ponder on the thought for a bit, until you decide not to bring Furlan down there.... for now...not until he's seen a real one and forced to learn about it. If any of you live to see that day.

So instead, you brought him out of the buildings to learn more about the things within the walls. Not to the market, since it's too crowded and it reminded you of the day you almost lost him.

You hugged Furlan in your arms until, you reached the less crowded streets with shops on either side of it. You look at the bakery shop and lead Furlan in, putting him down for him to explore, as you pick out some bread and put them into the woven shopping basket.

"Which one should we get for daddy? Furlan?" you ask as Furlan eyes the line of bread at the bottom row of the shelf. "This one!" Furlan cries happily as he taps at the glass that protects the bread from any insects flying onto the bread, even though some still manage to sneak in.

You kneel down beside him with the basket of bread and wooden tongs in your other hand, "Which one.?"

Furlan looks at you with bright eyes, as he presses his small index finger onto the glass. He points to a chocolate swirl. You chuckle at his choice.

"For daddy,.or for you?" you ask.

"Both me and daddy." Furlan beams, as you smile at his bright smile. You know that Furlan chose the chocolate swirl because he wants to share something he likes with his dad.

You pick out two chocolate swirl with the wooden tongs, then ask him to pick one out for you.

Furlan's big eyes scans the bottom row once more, then tip toed to look at the higher shelf as he takes a few steps back.

"Oof!" you hear someone sound behind you, you look over your shoulder, seeing that Furlan had slightly bumped into an old man behind him.

Furlan looks behind him quickly, much at a silence as his head touches the old man's shin. You quickly wrap your arms around Furlan and look up at the old man, "Sorry about that." you say with an apologetic nod and a slight smile.

"Oh, no worries." the old man replies with a small smile, " How old is this little one?" he asks.

You stand up while putting the wooden tong into the woven basket, holding it in one hand, and scoop Furlan up into your arm as you stand up.

"He just turned 3 a few months ago." you say with a friendly smile. As you walk toward the check out register, and places the basket of bread onto the counter as the clerk got them out to ring it up.

The old man places his own basket of bread onto the counter , as he lines up behind you. You glance at Furlan as he is a bit too silent for the sudden encounter of this old man.

His tiny hands grip your shoulders. You don't know what it is, but Furlan seemed a bit anxious. Maybe it's because of having the experience of being kidnapped by a stranger that got him to become cautious around people he doesn't know.

You quickly grab your change from the  cashier and your bagged up bread and hastily walk out the bakery. You turn your head right and left, scanning your surroundings. Hust in case there are anything amiss going on around the area.

It's quite peaceful, as you begin to walk down the cobble stone street with a bag of bread in one hand, while Furlan snuggle against your other arm which you held him in.

You look down at Furlan, "It's almost Christmas Furlan. Want to pick out a gift for your daddy?"

"Yes!" Furlan beams in excitement.

"And do you know Christmas is also daddy's birthday?" You ask Furlan with a smile.

"Really?! Then..then dad will have a big big present!" Furlan chimes happily as he gestures a big circle with his arms.

"Let's go to the gift shop then." you say.

"Mhm!" Furlan sounded in agreement.

*It's almost Christmas and Levi's birthday, what will you give him, Mrs. Ackerman?( ￣▽￣)*
