Three years later

pLevi sighed in the kitchen. Erwin surprised him today much to Levis chagrin. The man one day decided Eren needed a normal father figure and decided to invade Levis space and free time. If he didn't run the damn company so well and if Eren hadn't taken such a liking to him Levi would've obliterated his own cousin./p

Levi also accepted his help because having a child had proven harder then he thought. Eren tended to get sick very easily and he was constantly at Hanjis door. He did take Eren on a couple missions but Eren got sick right after and Levi freaked out. He didn't want Eren getting hurt because of him. Levi grilled and tested the caretakers in the company. Many workers didn't trust outside help so there was a daycare and home school system set up so that parents know where their kids are. He eventually chooses an upbeat worker named Sasha. She was cheerful and energetic but she had sharp instincts and didn't miss any movements in her surroundings. Levi hired her as a nanny when he was to be out of town. And he allowed Erwin to visit and check up. Eren never complained and eventually let others in. But he was still firmly attached to Levi.

Having a child changed Levi in many ways. Before he only focused on work and his missions. He grew up training and studying all the time. Kenny had been a decent guardian but there weren't any times for hugs and kisses. It was school and the gym. He and Erwin had been raised more like brothers then step cousins and they were always trying to stay ahead of one another. When they got to college and settled in their talents the competitive side stopped and they became younger versions of their dads. He didn't have a terrible time growing up but his mom was the only one who really bothered with hugs and kisses. When she passed it was simply testosterone and business. As a result Levi did not care for anybody who wasn't directly in his circle. He trusted his team and his family. People like Dot Pixis were respected but kept at arm's length.

Finding Eren made something in him snap. A little innocent being, who'd been discarded yet still offered smiles. Eren had bared no expectations and had clung to him without asking for anything in return (not that he could). Something in such innocence made Levi want to give him everything. Eren gave him warmth in a cold world. He was used to taking lives and scaring others into submission but with Eren he had a chance to change a life for the better. Now as Eren is four and as energized as ever Levi doesn't regret his choice.

"Hey Eren come into the kitchen, lunch is ready!"

The sounds of little feet slapping against the floor grew louder as Eren ran into the kitchen. He had his favorite toy in his hand and a smile on his face. "I'm here daddy! Uncle Erwin you're here yay!" Eren clapped his little hands and almost jumped in his favorite uncles arms but he stopped noticing another body already occupying his arms."

"Who are you?" Eren asked with the same bluntness as his guardian. Erwin shook his head and placed an equally tiny body on ground. He gave a gentle nudge but tiny hands gripped his arms shaking and scared. Erwin sighed.

"Eren this is Armin. Armin is going to be your new cousin from now on. And Armin is a future playmate with you while you're with Sasha." Erwin held his breathe. Levi stopped cutting off the crust to stare at his angel. Eren had really been Levis, Erwin's, and Mikes only focus for three years. Eren didn't like most of the others his age. Eren has a strong personality and the kids were quiet and stiff like most of the parents there. As a result Eren only likes the adults close to him. That and Levi barely wanted Eren out of his sight. However Levi knew Eren needed a friend his age. He wanted somebody for Eren to play with so he isn't as sad when Levi leaves. Both men hoped Eren wouldn't reject Armin. It took a lot to get him adopted and at only four Armin had been through a lot.

The room was quiet until Eren took steps to Armin. The little blonde hair blue eyed youngin was shaking. He looked like Erwin's clone with puffy cheeks and wide eyes. He eyed Eren unsure and gave a shaky "Hi." His face reddened and he looked away. Eren stared at him then his daddy then back at Armin. He held out his toy.

"You can play with titan if you want. I think he gets bored of me and Mrs. Sasha."Eren said in his high pitched voice. He had a hopeful smile when he held the toy out. There was a set of exhaled breaths as Armin gently took the toy into his hands looking up at Eren. "What's his secret super power?"

With that the ice broke as Eren chatted happily with Armin. After lunch Eren wanted Armin to stay and play. Once permission was granted the two ran to Erens room where he happily shared his toys. Slowly Armin came out of his shell and laughed clapping with Eren./

Levi had gone all out and Eren had enough toys to share with a room full of kids. Eren was ecstatic somebody wanted to play with him. The other kids sat silent and only wanted to color.

"Hey Armin do you wanna play cowboys with me? Daddy gots me a horsie for my birthday! "He grunted as he pulled the toy horse out. He looked at Armin expectantly, little cheeks red with anticipation.

"Yes, can I ride the horsie?" Armin asked in his soft voice. Eren bounced happily.

"Yeah come on its big enough for us both!" The two little boys climbed on the horse and laughed and clapped their hands as it rocked. They screamed in fake terror from evil monsters and got off only to kick bad guys and save the town.

All this time, the two fathers sat in the living room discussing business when Levi stopped with an unreadable face.

"It's too quiet. Eren is never quiet and he and Armin haven't stopped talking since lunch."

With an unspoken agreement both men shuffled quickly into the room. They rush only to find a site that sent Levi halfway to the grave and Erwin with his phone out snapping as quickly as possible.

On Erens bed with his star blanket was two little bodies curled up together napping peacefully with Erens toy in the middle.
