HELLO COOKIES! Nat here!
Enjoy another chapter of naughty Levi-kitty!
Apologies if Levi is kinda OOC, I'll try to make him more in character.
Thanks to all my lovely reviewer and followers :)
Henry-kun bops you all on the head :)
Now! ENJOY~
"Well, I went round to the neighbours yesterday but no one said they were missing a cat." Said Eren.
"You say you found him collapsed at your doorstep? He could be just a stray."
"Mikasa, I really doubt a stray alley cat would know how to use a tissue."
Mikasa threw him a funny look. "I really don't think he used a tissue, you're probably seeing things" She sighed. "Anyways, you can't throw him out in this blizzard."
"Henry seems to like him and even if he's a prissy little thing, he's kinda starting to grow on me"
"Do you think you can handle another cat?"
"Probably." Eren heaved a breath, "Where do I even start?"
"A name."
Eren spent the rest of the morning sitting across from Levi, trying names and dodging claws. None of them suited him and Levi refused to believe that Eren could possibly think that his fumbling attempts would pass. Levi was not and would never respond to Fluffy. Never.
Levi hissed and batted at Eren's face whenever he was displeased with the horrific names he came up with. Which was all the time.
"How about Erin? We can be Eren and Erin together!" Eren beamed at the idea. However, his joy was cut short by a growl and a swipe across his nose.
"You know, you remind me of a man I admire." Eren smiled. "He was the lance corporal when I served with the Recon corps. He used to call me all sorts of names and would kick me whenever I tried to joke with him."
He sighed. "I think of him quite a bit. I wish I could see him but you know kitty, its funny. After the war, everyone simply vanished. Heichou simply upped and left."
Eren laughed sadly at the memory, staring into his lap.
Levi padded forward and rested his paw upon Eren's head. He was curious. He didn't think that Eren even remembered him let alone think of him.
"KEVIN!"
Startled, Levi leapt back with a growl.
"Your name will be Kevin."
Levi blinked at him blankly. What the actual fuck he thought.
This brat actually thought I would go for the name Kevin.
Levi jumped forward, digging his claws into the front of Eren's shirt, and consequently, into his chest.
"Bad Kevin. Down Kevin."
I'm not a fucking dog you blind brat.
Levi was tired with this; they would work it out another time.
That night Levi got a surprise. He was sitting on the arm of Eren's sofa when he was scooped up and carried up the stairs. He didn't wriggle or try to break free. Eren set him gently down at the end of the bed, ran a hand down his back and headed through a doorway into what looked to be a bathroom.
The bedroom door was ajar and Levi thought about leaving. Curiosity got to the best of him and the bed was really soft, much softer than the carpet downstairs. The bedroom was very simple; queen sized bed and a brown oak dresser with a mirror in the corner, armchair in the other. The walls were decorated with dark green wallpaper.
Levi looked around; both bedside tables had simple white lamps, which swathed the room in a dim yellow light. There was a photograph on the left table. It was the same one he had found in his attic.
After all this time, the brat still keeps it around.
There were several books stacked on top of one another on the other table.
Well what a surprise, the idiot can read.
He caught the edge of his reflection in the mirror. Shifting so he could see himself better, Levi realized that it was his first time actually seeing himself. His black fur was shiny and he had this little tuft of long hair on top of his head. Quite shocked, he stared himself. He didn't expect himself to be so…
Fluffy.
Almost comically, he had the same expression he had when he was human; eyes slanted down and mouth set in almost a permanent scowl. Levi noticed that his fur was sticking up. He began fastidiously smoothing it down. Licking his paw, he patted down the hair.
What the fuck am I doing?
He stopped himself halfway. He glanced at his reflection again. There was a tuft of hair sticking out from under his neck.
Just a little more…
He quickly smoothed down the rest of his fur.
Eren walked out of the bathroom with a grin.
"I knew you were a little princess." He joked
Levi stopped his ablutions immediately. He turned, ready to sink his claws into Eren for the quip but instead ended up staring. Eren was ready for bed, wearing only a pair of dark green pajama bottoms, leaving his chest bare. The three years had treated Eren well. He had filled out quite nicely, his shoulders had broadened and he hadn't lost any of his muscle from the war. Eren had gained a couple of inches in height too. He was lean and well muscled.
Eren threw himself on the bed causing Levi to bounce up. He landed back down with a snarl. Eren laughed and grabbed him around the middle. Levi swiped out with his claws, just missing a couple of important body parts.
The little shit.
Eren threw the covers over himself and Levi. After he had stopped struggling, Eren relaxed his grip on him. Levi growled and bit Eren's hand.
"Ow that hurt you little brat."
Levi almost choked
How dare he, I'm the one who calls him brat, not the other way around. When did he start using my words anyway?
After shuffling a little ways away from Eren, Levi allowed himself to enjoy the softness of the bed. Eren's hand was on his side, its heat thoroughly warming him. Suddenly, the prospect of sleeping in Eren's bed didn't seem so unappealing.
"Goodnight Kevin"
Levi hissed at him.
"Bath time! Henry! Kevin!"
"Hey newbie, what's your real name? I'm guessing its not Kevin." Henry said with a yawn
"I'm Levi actually. I'm a human, I don't know how though."
"Oh, okay." Henry didn't look at all surprised. "Well its bath time, I'll go first."
Henry slunk towards the bathroom.
After a while, he came back out looking fluffed and clean.
"Okay Kevin! Come take your bath."
I am not fucking Kevin. Levi thought.
He sat in his favorite spot on Eren's dining table, refusing to respond to Eren's calling. A minute passed, then two, then two and a half.
Eren came out of the bathroom looking a little disgruntled. He held a white towel in his hands.
"Kevin. Bath." He said
Levi looked at Eren. He promptly turned around.
Unfortunately for him, he had forgotten the most important rule of combat. Never turn your back on your enemy.
He was grabbed in the towel, carried and then dumped unceremoniously in a bathtub full of water and soap.
He hated water. And worse, soap!
.
.
Wait what.
Levi tried to relax himself by reasoning with himself. He told himself it was just water, and he would be clean. Clean is good. Clean is nice. His relaxation techniques worked.
For about three minutes. Then, his cat instincts took over and he ended up clawing desperately at the sides of the bath. He saw Eren approach with a bottle in his hands.
Oh god no.
A good twenty minutes later, Levi was sitting on the table again. He was a wet, angry, furry blob. Eren had tried to blow dry him but he managed to bite and claw his way out of that.
Eren was sitting across from him, bandaging his bleeding hands. Henry lay at his feet.
"You know, you really shouldn't put up such a fight. He's only doing his job. Poor peasant." Henry said. " It would be much easier if you just bit your tongue and bore it. He only does it once a week."
Eren sighed and looked at him. Levi stared back, hissing and whipping his tail back and forth furiously.
Eren reached forward, intending to pat him. The cat snarled and stood, legs apart and tail high. He surprised himself; it felt so strange yet so natural. His human mind didn't tell him to do that.
"Whoa, calm down, you knew I had to wash you."
Fucking didn't have to throw me in a bucket.
"Here I know what will help."
Eren stood and walked over to a cupboard. Henry also stood and left.
Eren brought back a white long thing in his hands. He showed it to Levi. It was catnip. It had a long stalk and a fluffy end.
If this ass thinks I'm that much of an idiot he – Hey what's that
Levi leapt forward, batting at the fluffy end of the flower. His eyes followed the end as Eren moved it left and right.
Just a little more… HA!
Levi almost caught the end in his paws. Almost. Eren had whipped it away at the last second.
Ugh. This brat. Levi, calm down, it's just another trap.
.
.
It's so fluffy.
.
.
.
Just one more…
Levi reached again. Again, Eren pulled the plant away. Incensed, Levi snarled and jumped again. And again.
Finally Eren let the kitty catch the catnip. He watched as Levi batted and played with it, biting and clawing at the tip. Seeing that the cat had calmed down, Eren lay his hand on his head, gently scratching there.
Levi was alarmed at first but then began to enjoy the feeling.
Ohhhh right there. Fuck yes this feels good.
Suddenly he felt a vibration running though his body. And again. Then, he realized that it was coming from him.
Am I purring?
"Haha, you really like being touched here huh?" Eren laughed.
Gross.
Levi let Eren scratch him a little more.
What is a little human-turned-cat to do when he doesn't want to be a human-turned-cat? Levi couldn't sleep that night. His mind ran over his actions of the day. He was getting far to comfortable to be… well, comfortable.
I need to find a way to change back
And fast.
Eren was seated on one side of the table with different assortments of gift-wrap and ribbon strewn around the table and on the floor. It was nearing Christmas and he was throwing a small get together. He was attempting to wrap presents and he was completely failing at it.
Levi wasn't helping much, batting at the silver wrapping and biting at the ribbons. He felt compelled as a kitty, to attack small shiny things and driving Eren mad was a plus.
"Kevin stop!"
I am not fucking Kevin.
He hopped down from the table with a spool of red ribbon in his mouth. He batted at it, causing it to unravel and roll across the floor.
"Fucks sake Kevin!" Yelled Eren. Exasperated by his kitty companion, he grabbed the spool from Levi. He started to rewind the ribbon around the spool. He gave up halfway when Levi managed to knock another spool around.
"If I let you take this, will you stop making such a mess of everything else?"
Levi gave a curt nod.
Eren sighed and handed him the half wound spool, which he pushed and pulled for a while. After about ten minutes, Henry came and batted it around a few times then left to take a nap.
Levi ended up getting bored of his spool. He sat upright, watching Eren clean up the table. The presents were neatly stacked in the corner but the presents themselves weren't quite as neat. To be honest, it probably took more skill to make them look like explosions rather than to actually wrap them properly.
Typical Eren.
It was the morning of Eren's little Christmas party. The blizzard had actually let up a little bit, just enough for people to be able to move in and out without too much hassle.
Eren was in the kitchen, baking some cupcakes. He had set aside a small dish of milk and a fluffy ball on a string for Levi in the hope that he would be distracted enough to stay out of the way. He didn't need to worry about Henry; the old tomcat spent more time sleeping than anything.
Eren was at home almost all of the time, which Levi found quite surprising. He had thought the young hero would be basking in his glory. It made him feel strange inside when he realized that Eren preferred cooking, cleaning and reading over partying with his adoring fans.
But I saw pictures of him with naked girls in his lap. Disgusting.
Levi was confused.
Eren began extracting various items from his cupboards when Levi had finished all the milk. He sat on the table in his usual spot, wiping his face with a tissue and watching Eren.
"Every time you do that, I get so creeped out." Eren said.
Levi hissed at him.
Just because you're a barbaric brat does not mean that everyone else is.
The cat watched with quiet interest as Eren mixed eggs and flour and sugar in a bowl. He didn't expect humanity's savior to be able to bake. And not only that, to enjoy it. Eren washed his hands and pour his creations into a cupcake tray.
"They're strawberry cupcakes. Mikasa loves them" Eren told Levi.
"You know, my old heichou liked strawberry cupcakes." Eren laughed openly. It was a warm heartfelt chuckle. "Man, what he would say if he knew that his birthday cakes were made by me."
"You shitty brat, better not have poisoned this" Eren growled out, trying to impersonate Levi.
This fucker, I do not sound like that.
Levi was about to claw Eren for his disrespect when he saw the man had stopped moving and was staring at a spot on the wall. He had a half smile on his face and he looked like he was going to cry.
Oh god, if this brat gets emotional, I'm going to claw his eyeballs out.
Eren put his left hand to cover his face.
Levi leapt onto the bench. Comforting. The brat needed comforting.
Fuck. Okay how do girls do this? Be gentle right?
He gave a small meow and rubbed up against Eren's arm.
"Hey, I'm okay." Eren said with a small sniff.
He picked Levi up and cradled him to his chest.
"-so stupid." He mumbled. " He didn't even look back."
Levi was done. He tried to be a good person and comfort the guy but he just got himself into more trouble. He was so completely done with this overemotional mess of a boy. No one uses Levi as a tissue. He was not going to put up with Eren being such a little bitch. Even more so, he was not going to put up with the creeping feeling of guilt that was gnawing at his chest.
Levi nudged Eren's hand impatiently.
"Haha, stupid cat. I love you." Eren said with a smile.
Fucking brat. Shut up.
Eren put him back down on the bench. He opened the oven, letting the heat wash over Levi. After placing his cake inside, he exited the kitchen. Levi made to follow him but the heat radiating from the Oven was lulling him to sleep and he curled up for a nap.
He was awoken a good half hour later when Eren dropped his serving plate, cracking it cleanly down the middle.
"Ah shit."
Sleepily, Levi looked around. The completed cakes sat on the table, smelling absolutely delightful.
Levi padded over to it for a closer sniff.
"Kevin, they're not for you."
IM NOT KEVIN.
Levi snarled at Eren just before he darted forward and sunk his teeth into one. It was so sweet.
"KEVIN!"
Eren grabbed him around the middle. (He hated that) He was carried out of the room and dropped on the living room floor. Eren scowled at him and walked out. Levi made to follow but Eren shut the door to the kitchen in his face. He sat upright and blinked at the door.
The little shit, how dare he dismiss me.
He clawed at the door for a little while, hoping Eren would hear him. When he didn't, Levi began screeching at the top of his lungs. Henry bounded down the stairs to see what was going on.
Henry hit Levi on the head. "What's up pussycat?"
"I'm not a pussycat thank you very much."
Henry shrugged. "Lemme join in, I'm kinda bored."
Both cats began caterwauling. After a minute or so of their horrific singing, Eren cracked. He rushed to the door and pulled it open. Levi hissed at him and stalked back to the living room, tail swishing in displeasure. He clawed Eren on the way back.
Levi settled on the corner of the couch with the cupcake lying in two pieces on the floor. He wasn't going to eat it He still had the sweetness of it lingering in his mouth. He looked at the door and then to the broken cupcake.
Door.
Cake.
Just a little bit more.
He jumped down from the couch and seized a sizeable piece in his mouth. After his diet of (force fed) slimy cat food and milk, it was a welcome treat. He finished all of it in four bites.
No one knew that the Heichou liked super sweet sweets.
No one.
Thanks for reading! I'll try to update every 4/5 days.
If anyone has ideas regarding where this fic is going, don't hesitate to leave a review or PM me :)
Fave for sleepy ass Henry-kun? =3
