Eren was not sure if it was just a dream, but he intended to find out. He was a bit absent-minded during the training that day, trying to come up with an excuse for being near the corporal later. The older man had mentioned something about often having headaches, maybe he could take advantage of that somehow?


Eren took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Levis room. The boy had asked Hanji where he might find the corporal, and she'd told him that the man was suffering from a headache again and was resting in his room. She had warned the brunette about disturbing the raven-haired male, since he could be grumpy - well, grumpier - due to the many headaches he had been having recently.

Eren took the chance, thinking that if he was right about this, he would have the upper hand dealing with the shorter man.

"Enter." The voice was low and pained.

Eren opened the door slightly. "Corporal?"

Eren?

"What do you want, brat?" Levi was laying on his bed with his pillow over his head, causing his voice to sound muffled.

Eren was silent for a minute, but he couldn't hear anything.

"Hanji-san said you were down with a headache again, so I thought you maybe needed help with something?" Eren tried, still standing in the door. He really needed to find out if he was right, even though it would be absurd.

Levi removed the pillow from his head and sat up, eyeing the boy with a grumpy look.

"What could you possibly help with?" His tone was sharp and harsh, trying to hide how much pain he was in.

It would be kinda nice with a little nursing, though... And the room needs to be cleaned!

"I could..." Eren couldn't believe his own ears. He could actually hear the corporals thoughts! "I could help you clean the room, Corporal! And if you maybe need a bit of nurs..." he cut himself off, noticing the older mans dirty look, "I mean, maybe you need a little help with recovering from that headache. I could bring you a cup of tea and maybe a wet piece of cloth for your head!"

Levi was speechless for a second, wondering how the boy suddenly got so empathic. He looked at him in disbelief before giving op. "Fine, you can bring me the tea and then clean the room!" he snorted as his head hit the pillow, "But if you make to much goddamn noise, I will kick you in the face."

Eren cheered in silence, as he walked out the door, heading for the kitchen to make the corporal a cup of tea.

While the boy was away, Levi looked out the window. The light was a bit sharp for his hypersensitive eyes, and he hid his head in the pillow again, cursing his aching head in silence.

Eren put down the tea next to the corporals bed, and closed the curtains. He lit a couple of candles in the now dark room, and started to clean in silence.

Levi opened his eyes again, now that the daylight wasn't annoying him any more.

Wow, his cleaning is not very thorough.

Eren looked back at the older man, smiling bright, "Guess my cleaning skills are a bit rusty, huh? I'll do better, I promise."

Levi made a muffled sound in response, not really in the mood to scold the kid.

I don't really care, I'm doing it myself as soon as I've recovered from this stupid headache. I had planned to do it yesterday, but of course I had to have a headache. I swear to god, if this keeps up, I'm gonna throw myself at a titan someday, just to get rid of these headaches for good.

"Sir," Eren turned around, facing the older man. The corporal had sat himself up in the bed now, sipping his tea. He looked up at the younger male again.

"I was just wondering.. You seem to suffer from headaches very often, sir. Maybe you should ask Hanji for help?" Eren scratched his neck, feeling a little embarrassed. It was kinda weird to be able to hear the raven-haired mans thoughts, and Eren would be as good as dead if the corporal found out.

"That... might actually be a good idea, Jaeger," Levi hesitated. He wouldn't praise the boy too much, since he had a habit of getting a bit cocky sometimes. "I'll talk to her tomorrow."

Eren sent the corporal a bright smile, and started cleaning the room again.

Ew, is that a spider-web up in that corner?

Eren looked up, trying to find the spider-web. He went to the left corner next to the window, and removed the tiny spider-web, wondering how the corporal was able to spot something like that in the dimmed room.

Will you look at that, I thought I was the only one here able to spot things like that...

The corners of Levis lips twisted slightly, pleased with the younger boy.

He might actually be useful when it comes to cleaning. If this keeps up, I might not need to clean the room myself.

Eren spent a couple of hours cleaning the corporals room. He used his new-found ability to read the raven-haired mans thoughts and managed to remove every single dust grain from the room.

Levi was sitting in the bed, leaning against the chilly wall, feeling more relaxed now that he knew the room was as clean as it could be.

"Nice work, Jaeger. I didn't knew you had it in you." He said with a tiny smirk, almost impossible to see in the dark room. The candlelights felt good for his sensitive eyes, and his headache was getting better now.

I'm impressed.

Eren could feel the heat in in his face, knowing the corporal was secretly impressed by his work.

"No problem, sir. I'm pleased to help you." Eren replied, hoping the candles wouldn't reveal his blushing cheeks.

Is he blushing? What on earth is up with that kid?

Eren looked away, blushing even further. He pretended to be checking the windows for dust, still listening to the corporals train of thoughts. It was kinda embarrassing knowing exactly what the man thought of him, but it was also intriguing.

Is he trying to hide it how? Nice try, kid, even your neck is blushing.

Eren jumped and moved his hand to his neck, realizing too late that it might seem obvious somehow, and decided to scratch his neck in stead.

Levi smirked.

It's actually kinda cute...

"Corporal!" Eren yelled, having had enough of those thoughts that made him blush so hard. Levi looked at him, lifting his eyebrow. "I... How is your headache?"

"Better." Levi huffed, "I think I'll go talk to Hanji now. She might be able to give me something to kill the rest of the pain. You can go now, Jaeger."

...Even though it would be nice if you could stay a little longer...

"Y-yes sir!" Eren couldn't take anymore, and left the corporals room in a hurry. On his way back to his own room, he tried to process what he had heard, not meant for his ears. Cute... The corporal thought he was cute?

Eren stopped up in the middle of the hallway.

His goal might be closer than he first assumed.


A/N: And that was chapter four!

This might be pure shit, I had a writers-block on the middle of this chapter, not really sure how where I wanted this to go, and how I should let Levis thoughts play in. I hope it makes sense. I think it will always be a bit tricky to make sense when you are playing with spoken words and thoughts. I try to make Erens reactions match how I would feel and react, if I could read the thoughts of the person I love, and I really hope it's not OOC. Same with Levi, even though I think the playground is getting wider when you are writing about his thoughts. Like everyone else, he will have thoughts that is somehow far away from how he acts towards others.

The chapter is a bit short (I think) and I am sorry for that. Also, in case I haven't made it clear, I got inspired by What Women Want. What Levi Wants - yeah, it's kinda obvious. I used to love that movie as a teenager, and when it was on TV a couple of days ago, I just had to watch it, aaand I somehow got inspired! The story is not meant to follow the movie in anyway, but I might transfer a few things from the movie if I feel like it.

Last thing, I read the other three chapters through and as written i A/N in chapter three, I've corrected a few errors I found, and chanced a few words as well, to make the story flow. I haven't changed the story, and it's not worth going back to re-read, I just thought I would mention it.

Thank you for the reviews, follows and favourites! It makes me very happy!

I hope the next chapter's gonna write itself, it will probably be mostly about Eren. Hee.. Hee.. Hee..
