"My bed's really cold tonight... I wonder where Levi is.."

Sighing I closed my eyes and turned onto my side drifting off to sleep while holding Levi's pillow against me.

A couple hours later I was woken up by someone shaking my shoulders.

"Eren... Eren, wake up...goddammit it Eren, wake up!"

"Ow... Who the hell slaps someone who's sleeping?" "What the hell! I was sle-"

"Hello, I see you're finally up. Took long enough."

"He's back! He's back and he's safe... Thank god he's safe." "Levi..."

I saw the corner of his lips drift up into a smirk.

"What, did you think I wouldn't make it back or something?" He asked sitting down and giving my head a light knock with his fist. I moved aside a little trying to give him space so he would be comfortable. Instead he pulled me onto his lap.

"Levi..I..."

I put my palms on either side of his face, looking, making sure he was actually alright. Not seeing anything wrong I released my breath and wrapped my arms around his neck.

There was a pause between us as we relished in the warmth of one other.

"I missed you. You and your stupid little smile." Levi said, wrapping his own arms tightly around me.

"I missed you too, I missed you a lot. Everyday." I sighed into his neck. "You smell like sweat Corporal."

"Shut up. At least I don't smell like tears."

My head shot up.

"I do not smell like tears!" My face was getting hot and I knew he knew. "He's been back for ten minutes and he's already teasing me." I untangled myself from his arms and crawled over to the other side of the bed. The other side being the foot of the bed. I turned my back to him and crossed my arms, unusually pissed about his teasing.

"Eren, don't be mad." I heard him sigh. "Here, will this make you feel better?"

I was about to reply with a stern no when I felt his hands on my hips and his lips on my neck.

"C-corporal!"

"Levi to you." I felt his lips trailing down the side of my neck. "Only in private though."

The next thing I knew I was lying on Levi, my back on his chest and his arms around my waist. It was surprising how strong Levi actually was considering his size, because I couldn't get up.

"I'm not mad." I turned around instead so I was facing him while lying on his chest. "I'm not mad."

"You already said that." He looked me in the face, and something about the way he looked at me made me feel very shy. Before I could look away I felt his hand on the back of my head pushing me towards him. I didn't wait until he pushed it all the way, I took initiative and moved forward, kissing him. It was a light kiss, a 'welcome home' kiss, which in my opinion didn't last close to long enough. So when we broke apart I continued kissing down his neck, to his collar bones, and his chest. I was about to take lift his shirt over his head when he stopped me.

"Eren."

"Y-yes?" His tone, his eyes, they made me feel like I got caught doing something I shouldn't have been doing.

"Shower first."

Of course. He has to be clean before anything else."

I looked down and put his shirt back where it was. "Okay. Fine."

"Why the long face Eren? You looked pretty damn happy a couple seconds ago."

"I was feeling pretty damn good a couple seconds ago too."

"Is it because I'm taking a shower before goin' at it with you?"

I didn't answer to that. He obviously knew why I was more than slightly pissed he'd choose a shower over 'welcome home sex.'

"Did I say I was going to shower alone Jaeger?"

I perked up at that notion.

"Well...no.."

"Then what's the problem? Follow me brat, you can be so incredibly stupid at times."

I happily complied.

In the end you could say that he wasn't any cleaner then he was before the shower then after the shower.
