"Eren did you preheat the oven already?" Eren turned to see Levi staring at him blankly with the dish in his hands,

"Yeah, can I put it in?" Eren opened the oven door in preparation.

"No but you can set the timer." Eren groaned a little as he walked past Levi to the other counter, picking up the timer. It wasn't long after Eren had set the timer down did he hear a wince come from next to him. He turned his attention to the older man who was staring down at his left hand. On the tip of his index finger there was a light red burn on it.

"Levi are you okay?" Levi nodded his head as put his hand back to his side.

"Yes I'm fine. It'll go away in a way." Eren rolled his eyes and grabbed Levi's hand. He took the tip of Levi's index finger into his mouth. Levi gave Eren a look of shock as the younger sucked on his finger. Levi elbowed Eren in the stomach before making his way over to the sink as the other man held his stomach. Levi stuck his finger under cold water before turning to Eren.

"That was disgusting. You risked me getting an infection you brat." Eren groaned in response as he stood up holding his stomach, laughing a little.

"It always worked for me when I burned my finger." Levi just shook his head in disgust.

"Itadakimasu." Both men muttered, bowing their heads before they began to eat.

"Uwaa. This is delicious Levi." Levi nodded his head in acknowledgement as he ate silently. He thought it was kinda nice having the younger boy's company. Especially since he appreciated his cooking.

"Ah." Levi looked at the other boy seeing that he had finished.

"What is it?" Levi's question barely reached Eren's ears as he found himself unconsciously leaning forward, licking the remaining food from the corner of Levi's mouth. The older man then retaliated with an elbow to Eren's chest causing him to fall backwards on the ground, holding his chest.

"That was gross and unnecessary, Eren." Eren weased a chuckle out as he regained the ability to breathe once again.

"I..couldn't help m-myself." Levi made a sound of annoyance as the younger boy laughed. Eren's phone buzzed in his pocket and he saw that he had a message from Armin. He had already seen the multiple missed calls from Mikasa so he just ignored them as he read the text.

Eren, Mikasa is looking everywhere for you. She says you were kidnapped which I think is exaggerated. Where are you really?

I'm at a friend's house. Don't worry. Tell her not to worry as well.

Okay. I'll tell her. Be safe.

You too Armin.

"Who are you texting?" Eren turned his attention to the voice that came from beside him. He smiled at the older as he turned to face him.

"My friend Armin. Mikasa worried him about me." Levi nodded sitting back on his legs.

"Though you know more about me I don't know much about you." Eren laughed a little.

"Alright, ask your questions."

"College student huh?" Eren nodded as he took a sip of his tea.

"Yes. I'm majoring in human genetics and bioengineering."

"Two majors." Eren nodded.

"What do you plan to do afterwards?" Eren sighed as he had thought over it many times before.

"I...truly don't know."

"Well.."

"Eren!" Eren turned towards the front door at the sound of Mikasa's voice.

"I know you're in there!" Eren groaned at the oncoming headache.
