It had just been a couple of hours since Levi opened the box to find Eren inside and already the Captain was enjoying the company of his new companion. It seemed that from the get go that the little Neko liked him, which the everyday person takes forever just to like Levi enough to hang out with him. There were a few in the Scouts that liked him, but they too had an important position and so it made it difficult to have a social get together. The only people he really saw day to day were those in his Special Operations Squad. Though he hates to admit it, he had to thank the Commander for this Christmas gift.
Getting off the bed once he saw that Eren was curled up on the bed asleep, Levi saw this as his chance to go and get cleaned up and so walked towards his private bathroom. Switching the water on the Captain proceeded to brush his teeth. Staring into the mirror Levi saw the door behind him start to get pushed open. He was not concerned since he knew who it was as Eren came walking into the room.
The Nekojin's ears wiggled as he looked up to Levi as he stood there for a moment as he watched the human brush his teeth. Walking up Eren jumped up and grabbed onto the edge of the counter, lifting himself the rest of the way up. He watched the creature sniff at the faucet as he explored the countertop, jumping a little when some water dripped from the tip of the metal pipe. Levi dud not chuckle, but deep down he wanted to, he was just not the type of guy who would laugh or chuckle. He lost that ability some years ago after living underground and losing who knows how many friends and family.
Eren jumped back when Levi turned the faucet on, sniffing at the fluid coming out of the pipe, he sneezed when some landed on his nose. The human finished washing his face and so switched the water off. As he dried his face he watched Eren play with what water was left in the sink, "You really are energetic." He said as Levi hung the towel up to dry off, walking back over he carefully pick up the neko and walked out to the bedroom. Eren purred as he rubbed his cheek against Levi's as the human scratched the top of the critter's head.
Walking back into the bedroom, Levi set Eren down onto the bed before picking up the long sleeved shirt that was black in color off of the bed. Slipping it on the man smirked when he saw Eren curled up on the bed once again as the youngster slept. Carefully picking the neko up, the man walked out to his office. Usually right now at this time there would be people chatting and laughing inside as well as outside of the building, it was odd for it to be dead silent but the Captain always liked silence. Except for when it is raining. Except for what ever noise Eren may make, it was going to be a couple weeks of this silence since everyone went home to their families.
Sitting down on the sofa, Levi set the Neko down onto his lap then reached for the book sitting on the coffee table to his left. Opening the book he started to silently read it carefully, his free hand gently running through Eren's hair. Feeling a little bit of a breeze the raven hair looked to the window to see that it was slightly open. Sighing, Levi stood up and set the sleeping neko on the chair. Walking over, the Captain closed and locked the windiw, closing the wooden window sills to keep the cold out of the room. Running his hand through his hair, Levi walked back over to the chair, bending over he shushed the startled Eren as he picked him up, "Go back to sleep Eren." He said a bit firmly as the man sat down, setting Eren back on his lap. Seeing that Eren went back to sleep, Levi picked his book back up and proceeded to read it. But in short time he too started to feel tired and set the book down and rested his chin in the palm if his hand, staring at the burning fireplace until he fell asleep.
