Cleaning Up
Levi had walked into the bathroom to grab wet wipes to clean up the mess him and Eren had made. Eren and Hanji were preoccupied talking about dogs. Levi began to clean off his face as he walked back into the front room. He sat on the couch next to Eren and finished cleaning off his hands. He grabbed a new wipe and started to wipe Eren's face. Eren turned his head so Levi could get the other side of his face. He got the rest off his face and out of his hair. He put the wipe down and kiss Eren's forehead. "I'll put the clothes in the wash later." Levi said before getting up and throwing away the wipes. Eren turned back to Hanji to see a soft smile with joy plastered on her face.
The timer rang and Levi went to go check the brownies. "They're done." Levi called from the kitchen. They cut out some brownies and passed them around. They put a few on a plate and gave it to Hanji to take home. "Thanks guys." Hanji said with a small smile. "You guys are so sweet." She commented before hugging them. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." Hanji smiled. They walked her out to her car and waved goodbye.
"Was it just me of was she not herself, she was to calm. She seemed almost like she was sad?" Eren asked Levi as they got back into the house. "She sometimes gets like this at night. She's never had anyone so sometimes she hangs around my or Erwin's house. She invites us over quite a bit as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if, when you move in, we hang out there a lot." Levi informed Eren. Eren nodded and felt a little sympathy for Hanji. "Any time she wants we should be there for her." Eren said wrapping his arms around Levi's waist and burying his face into Levi's chest. "We will don't worry." Levi smiled and held Eren.
Eren knew how it felt to be alone, because a week back he had felt the same way. He was an outcast at school. He ate lunch with his teacher, who was one of his best friends, which is pretty lame for a senior in high school. His sister and only friend, at the time Armin, have different class scheduled and hung out in big groups at lunch. Jean, Eren's old best friend, had hated him. His father who can't even look at him without hatred in his eyes. Strangers who came to his house to hurt him. Eren thought of how much things have changed in a week's time. 'I went from having nothing, to being close to freedom.' Eren thought looking up at Levi still in his embrace.
'I went from alone to loved. Mikasa talks to me more. Armin texts me as much as he can. Jean doesn't hate me, he actually cares a lot about me. Levi loves me back. Hanji is nice and care about me. In one week I will be free from my father and 'them' forever.' Eren thought feeling relief pass over him. 'Bonus, I don't even have to go home until Sunday night.' Eren smiled as his grip around Levi tightened and he smiled.
"What's got you so lovey dovey?" Levi asked smiling at the boy. "Nothing important, besides the fact that I love you." Eren said burying his head in the crook of Levi's neck."I love you too brat." Levi kissed the top of Eren's forehead. Eren released Levi and smile. "I'm going to put the brownies away. Can you make it up the stairs by yourself?" Levi asked looking at Eren's ankle. "Yeah, I'll be fine." Eren said looking at his ankle and smiling. "Okay, well go upstairs and change out of those clothes so I can get them washed." Levi said pointing at the stains littering Eren's clothes. "What should I change into?" Eren asked with a devilish smirk. "Surprise me." Levi said before turning around and mumbling something loud enough so Eren can hear. "Horny brat." Eren laughed and carefully made his way up the stairs.
Once Eren was up the stairs he changed out of the dirty articles of clothing. He threw them in the laundry basket and looked at his clothing debating what to wear. Levi on the other hand was just finishing up in the kitchen. He started to head up the stairs. He took off his shirt and threw it in the nearby laundry basket. "Eren?" Levi questioned as he threw his pants in the basket. He noticed the light in his bedroom was turned on.
