Hey guys!
This the final chapter of One more time!
I'm amazed i managed to actually finish the thing considering how much i procrastinate...
I hope you like it.
Two and a half months had passed and Eren had without fail, kissed Levi twice each day. February was on the tip of rolling into March and the promise of Spring left everyone in a good mood. The short snowy days had turned into long, sunny days, followed by warm, lazy nights. Once a week, Levi would stay as a cat so he could talk to Henry. Eren didn't understand how that worked but he obliged.
The pair had taken a week out of their time to visit Levi's old house and gather his possessions so he could properly live with Eren.
They had fallen into a comfortable routine. Every day, they woke up at nine, Levi would take a shower and Eren would make them both breakfast. Following that, Levi often cleaned the house while Eren shifted through papers and attended to his own business.
Sometimes they would go out shopping and sometimes Mikasa and Armin would stop by for lunch, which always set Eren in a good mood for the rest of the day.
The first time Mikasa and Armin had dropped when Levi was human could only be described as eventful.
They had walked in the front door and as usual, Eren raced out of the kitchen to meet them and Mikasa greeted him with a hug. Levi followed Eren slowly behind. When Mikasa looked up, she met his eyes and it was a tense silence for a few seconds.
In a mad dash, Mikasa leapt off Eren and Levi found his face having a rather rude meeting with her fist. There was a lot of yelling and screaming on her part, pulling and pleading from Eren and quiet from Armin.
After the shock had passed, Eren told them that Levi was stuck as a cat for the last three years.
It was decided by Levi that to avoid more hate and bitterness, it would be best to pass off that lie as an excuse to everyone who asked.. Eren didn't want to lie to his friends and family
Armin had looked doubtful when he was told but he nodded and accepted the excuse. Mikasa had taken a little more convincing and several of Eren's delicious cupcakes for her to calm down and not tear into Levi every time she saw him.
Eventually, everyone who stopped by the house had grown to accept that Levi was there.
After dinner, Eren and Levi often visited the nearby park and went for walks. When they passed the big she-oak, Eren always reached out and grasped Levi's hand. Levi didn't mind.
Their evenings were often spent with Eren reading on the couch. Sometimes Levi would lie on his lap and make him read aloud. Eren didn't mind.
When bedtime rolled around, they would both climb into bed, Levi would tease and tease and tease Eren before they both fell into a blissful sleep.
Life was good.
Eren had been denied and he wasn't happy about that. All he did was spill a little soup on Levi's favorite sweater. He didn't think it would warrant this.
Levi hadn't spoken to him for a week and banned him from all forms of touching, which included kissing, except for the daily two, hugging and most unfortunately, sex. To say Eren was frustrated was a stretch.
But he had a plan.
It was a Saturday morning when Eren lay alone in his bed. Well, really it was the couch seeing as Levi didn't let him sleep in their bed anymore. He could hear him in the bathroom, getting ready to take a shower. He knew Levi always locked the shower door but he was ready.
He heard the shower turn on and he jumped off the couch. Pulling open a drawer, he took out a paperclip. Eren tiptoed to the bathroom door and slid the unwound paperclip into the keyhole and jiggled it around.
Click!
He grinned and turned the doorknob slowly. Levi was in the shower with his back turned. Eren took off his underwear and opened the door to the shower.
Levi didn't hear him.
Eren stepped under the spray, reaching around Levi when-
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE HELL" he yelled, jumping back.
Apparently Levi liked to take ice cold showers.
He turned around, eyes wide with surprise before frowning.
"What are you doing in my shower." He said with a glare.
"Never mind that, you're going to catch a cold," Eren said, reaching for the knob that said hot.
Levi grabbed his wrist. "I thought I banned you, what are you doing in my shower."
"Well you know, it's been a week and I'm sorry I spilled soup on you and stuff but come on, you prance around the house in those tight, tight jeans and HOW CAN I GO ON LIKE THIS." Eren whined
Levi sighed. "I'll forgive you for the jumper but I do believe I need to punish you for sneaking up on me in the shower."
Eren was relieved that he didn't have to be tortured anymore. "Punish me all you want Levi." He said with a sly grin.
Except what Levi had in mind was really quite different to what Eren thought.
Levi gave a hard tug on Eren's wrist, pulling him into his chest and completely under the spray of the shower.
Which was cold. Very cold.
Eren gave a shout and wriggled around, desperately trying to get out but Levi held him tightly.
"Is there something wrong with the way I shower hm?" Levi asked with a snicker.
"n-n-no, not at all" Eren stuttered.
Levi grabbed the back of Eren's head and pulled his hair so that his face was tilted directly into the water nozzle.
Eren spluttered and flailed about, trying to get out of the cold.
"Fucking Levi! I'm s-s-sorry please l-let me go!" He pleaded.
"But you said I could punish you all I want." Levi smiled sadistically.
"NOT LIKE THIS!" Eren managed to hit Levi in the side with his arm and pulled back from the man.
He pushed open the shower door and leapt out. He whirled around and pointed accusingly at Levi.
"If I catch a cold, I blame you completely!" Eren looked like he had tears in his eyes but that was probably the water.
Not bothering to dry off, he sprinted out of the bathroom. Levi chuckled lowly as he watched Eren go.
To be perfectly honest, Levi didn't like cold showers but he had heard Eren picking the lock on the bathroom door and guessed he was going to try and get into his shower. He grit his teeth and turned the hot water off and the cold on full blast.
Bearing the cold was well worth seeing Eren's reaction.
Levi turned the hot water back on and finished his shower. He stepped out, dried off and put on his pajama shirt.
He headed to their bedroom.
Eren was buried under the covers, curled up in a tight ball. Levi smiled and lifted the covers, sliding in.
Eren looked up at Levi.
"You're such an ass Levi." He mumbled.
Levi chuckled. "You deserved it for being an idiot."
Eren didn't reply, he just shivered because he bed was wet where he was curled up.
Levi reached down and dragged Eren up by the shoulders. He pulled Eren close and could hear that the boy was sniffing. His skin was cold.
"I'm going to catch a cold because of you." He mumbled, burying his head into the crook of Levi's shoulder.
"Good." Levi said and patted his bare back.
They stayed like that for a few minutes before Levi broke the silence.
"Oi brat, how long are you going to mope? We need to get up and clean these sheets. They're all wet because of you." He said.
Eren nodded and untangled himself reluctantly.
"I'm going to take a nice hot shower." He said, walking out of the room.
Levi shook his head and smiled.
"That idiot."
Needless to say, Eren lay in bed the next day, sneezing and sniffing.
Levi came into the room with a bowl of chicken soup, a cup of water and some pills.
"Here, drink that, take these and if you get anything on the sheets I am going to shower with you."
That didn't sound like a punishment at all but yesterday was still fresh on Eren's mind and he shook his head fearfully.
"I wont!" He said.
Levi let out a ppft.
"You're like a puppy I swear, do you think I can train you to sit, roll over and play dead?"
Eren frowned.
"Levi you're an ass." He said.
"I know I am." Levi said. "Go on, eat up."
Eren complied, lifting the bowl to his lips and sighing when the hot liquid soothed his sore throat.
Unfortunately for him, he tipped it a little too far and a little bit splashed on his cheek, ran down his chin and dripped onto the blanket.
He didn't realize until he finished the bowl and looked up at Levi who had his eyebrows drawn together and mouth upturned in a frown.
"What?"
"Look down."
Eren didn't see anything for a while but then his eyes zeroed in on a small stain on the covers.
"Oh shit."
Two weeks later, just before the sun had kissed the sky, a rather loud banging on their front door woke Eren and Levi.
Eren pulled on a dressing gown and grumpily went to open the door to see who it was. When he pulled the heavy door open, a face full of female chest greeted him enthusiastically.
"Eren! Levi! Its done!" Hanji yelled.
Eren was beginning to suffocate when Levi came downstairs and pulled the octopus like woman off him.
"Oi, I kinda need the brat alive, try not to kill him anytime soon." He said.
Hanji grinned and set down her briefcase. She popped it open and inside there were three vials of blue liquid.
"I need you to take these now. It's been a hundred days and its ready!" She exclaimed.
Levi squinted at the suspicious looking liquid before picking up one of the bottles and opening the cap.
"If this does anything other than its supposed to, I'm going to gut you and feed you to your rabid dogs."
Hanji just grinned at him. "Come on, I need to see what it does so I can write it down! Do it for science Levi!"
Levi sighed. " You crazy woman."
Levi brought the first vial up to his lips before he felt a hand on his wrist. "You need to be a cat first you know." Hanji said.
Levi gave her an irritated nod before pulling Eren over and kissing him roughly.
When the smoke cleared, Levi wriggled out of his pile of clothes and jumped up on the arm of the couch. Eren handed him the vial. He grasped it in his paws and wobbled slightly as he tried to balance himself on his hind legs.
His foot slipped and he toppled to the side.
Fortunately, Eren caught him before he could fall to the ground.
"Here, I'll feed you."
Levi gave an angry meow in response.
Eren sat on the couch and Levi was on his lap. He uncapped the bottle and tilted it. Levi drank all of the foul tasting liquid.
Nothing happened.
Hanji frowned.
"Maybe I mixed it up wi-"
She was cut off by a puff of smoke. She coughed and waved her hand around to clear the smoke and see what had happened.
The scene that greeted her was nothing short of hilarious.
Levi was stark naked in Eren's lap, save for a pair of fluffy black cat ears perched on his head and a tail that wound around his side. Eren was beet red as he frantically searched for an appropriate place to put his hands.
Hanji burst out in gleeful laughter.
"It worked! It worked!" She yelled happily, getting up and doing a little victory dance.
Levi was the exact opposite of Hanji. He was pissed as, well, as fuck.
"You really do have shit for your brains don't you? Does it look like I'm back to normal? Hm?" He asked.
He wriggled around on Eren's lap for a second, trying to get off the blushing man when he felt something poking into his backside.
"Oi brat, tell me that isn't what I think it is." He said with a deadly tone.
If Eren could be any redder, one might think his head was going to explode. "Well, you look… um… qu-quite c-cute" He said, scratching the back of his head.
"Oh fuck you too." Levi exclaimed, hitting Eren on the side.
He managed to get up off of Eren when he felt a tug on his tail.
"AH!" He yelled. That had hurt. That hurt a lot.
He spun around and saw Eren staring at his tail. He fixed the blushing man with a glare.
"What? Haven't you ever seen a tail before?" He said in a flat voice.
Eren shook his head and tried to speak. The only sound he produced was a squeak, followed by a fit of coughs.
Levi let out an 'ugh' sound before walking over to where his clothes had pooled on the ground and put on his pants.
He grabbed the other vial in Hanji's case.
"Oi, Hanji, I drink this right?"
Hanji nodded.
He uncapped it and poured it into his mouth. It tasted foul.
As usual, smoke filled the room and Levi emerged, relieved that his ears were back to normal and he didn't have a tail.
"What's this last one for?" He asked.
Hanji said "That will make sure you don't ever turn into a cat ever again. You can take it now or later."
Levi nodded and uncapped it ready to drink when Eren leapt off the couch.
"NO!" He yelled.
The other two turned to look at him.
"I mean, we should save it for another time. Like, when he really n-needs it, li-like when.. I mean if he ever t-turns again…" He stuttered out.
Levi shrugged. "Try." He said.
Eren gave him a confused look.
"Try kissing me you idiot."
Eren nodded and gave the shorter man a peck on the lips.
Nothing happened.
"Well I guess, I'll leave this one for another time then." Levi said.
Hanji shrugged. She closed the case with a snap and made to go.
"Wait. Eren probably… made some extra soup, would you like to stay for breakfast?" Levi asked quietly.
Hanji broke into a grin stretching from ear to ear.
"YES!"
After Eren and Levi had gotten properly dressed, Eren was cooking some bacon and eggs that filled the house with a delicious aroma. Hanji was seen visibly drooling as she sat at the table and watched Eren cook.
Levi appeared with Henry scooped up in his arms. He seemed to forget Hanji's presence as he set the cat down, walked over to Eren and slipped his arms around his waist.
"Good morning" He mumbled and began to pepper the other man's neck with kisses when he was interrupted by a loud "KYA!"
"Oh my god you two are so cute! Oh my god is this what you've been up to? Oh my god." Hanji began blabbering.
Levi made a 'tch' noise before retracting his arms and walking over to the table. He pulled out a chair and opened the morning paper.
"Oi Eren, did you know you're getting married today?" Levi said.
Eren flipped the bacon. "Yea, so I've heard."
"You're just going to let them do this?" Levi questioned.
Hanji leaned over to take a look at the paper. "Oh yea, I think everyone's figured out that the great 'Eren Jaeger' isn't really the man they see in the papers. Besides, most people are getting tired of hearing about his daily visits to brothels and whatnot."
Eren shrugged. "I don't mind, they leave me alone and to be honest, I'm pretty grateful for that."
Levi huffed and closed the paper.
Eren approached with two platefuls of eggs and bacon. Hanji got up and brought over the bread and sauce. She pulled a jug of juice out of the fridge and the three of them sat down for a comfortable breakfast.
After they finished, Hanji was in the middle of squawking about some new development she had made when the clock on the wall chimed 9'o' clock.
She stood up. "I really must go, I have people to see, poor animal souls to save!" She dropped her plate in the sink and walked out to the lounge. Levi and Eren wiped their hands and followed her.
Hanji was halfway out the door when she seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Wait! I nearly forgot, I brought this for you." Out of her white coat, she pulled a small piece of cloth. When Levi saw it, his face fell.
"Why did you bring me that?" He said angrily.
"Well you left your jacket at the headquarters and ours were all getting taken back by the government so I took the chance to rip the emblem off." She said. "Take it."
"No."
Hanji frowned. "I kept this for you, you know."
Surprising the both of them, It was Eren who reached out and took it from her open hand.
"Thank you Hanji." He said.
She was still for a second before turning around and walking away with a wave.
After Eren closed the door he handed Levi the wings.
"I know you don't want to think of everyone and you don't want to but maybe you should keep it, for protection and whatnot." He said.
Levi replied with a huff. "You do realize, that piece of cloth you're holding has caused me more pain than anything and how the fuck do you expect a knot of threads to save me from an axe wielding mass murderer?"
Eren shrugged and laughed. "It won't but just hang on to it okay?"
Levi nodded and took the emblem from him and shoved it in his pocket.
"Okay" He said quietly, staring at his feet.
Eren grinned and put his hand on top of Levi's head. "Cheer up heichou, you have me now!"
A faint pink blush crept up on Levi's cheeks.
"You idiot." He mumbled and grabbed Eren, hugging him around the waist.
"I'm your idiot." Eren replied which earned him an "ohmygod" and a punch to the side.
"Come on, lets go out for a walk." Eren said.
Levi nodded and they left the house, hand in hand.
Ah yes, life was good.
Well i hoped you liked the fic as much as i liked writing it.
