Purely a fictional story of a fictional story. Featuring Levi x Eren/Rivaille x Eren either way! This is a special chapter which won't really much affect the story but of course since you're here (probably) because you're a shipper, read it!

Today, for the first time in Eren's life, he cooked. For Levi.

Right now, you must be thinking something like "seriously!?" or maybe "it's normal; this is love!".

Or might you be wondering why did he suddenly do this? Well – you can say it was partially Hanji's fault…

This "unfortunate incident" took place after Levi and Eren's shopping 3 days ago. They were just on their way home (Eren was carrying all the bags) when they bumped into Hanji by accident.

And I mean bumped. Levi literally tried to knock Hanji down. However, due to his slightly slender feature, he failed.

"… Tch!" Levi's face turned dark the moment he saw the familiar pair of glistening glasses. Hanji was actually wearing a one-piece dress, making her look 100% girly, which was a shock to Eren such that he dropped a bag containing ingredients for a weeks' worth of meals.

"Eren." Levi's tone was menacing. Hanji laughed openly like her usual self. "Heichou's on the streets shopping!? Now isn't this something we don't get to see usually even in the long, memorable past?" she said mockingly. Eren didn't get it. Is it something I don't get or am I just stupid? Hanji noticed his confused look and twirled to Eren's side. "Don't worry, haha!" she threw her arms care freely over Eren's shoulder. "It's perfectly normal if you find this topic out of reason! I haven't told many people, but I've known Levi since we were young!" then, she leaned in dangerously with her look that read 'this is juicy news!' and whispered in Eren's ear, "Just so you know, that guy's totally an ass! He despises doing house chores, especially cooking! Hmm… of course, he changed after he became a proud soldier thanks to how dirty the men were then (ha-ha), but his clumsiness as a cook's definitely still here! One time, I asked him to boil some onions and he –"

At that moment, something flew between Eren and Hanji, hitting a tree bark. With pale faces, they turned to see that it was a knife. " – will do that…"

That stunned Eren. He thought back of the past month he'd stayed with Levi, and how he'd always cooked flawless meals. While he doesn't realise it himself, Levi does show a slight curve on his lips when Eren seemed to like his cooking. Yet… he actually despises cooking?!

Before Eren could think deeper, Hanji patted his back with more strength than what he'd consider 'friendly', never pausing to catch a breath from all her laughing. "It must've been tough on you, huh? Doing all the labour and cooking for that picky prick! Ahahahaha!"

"U-umm…" Eren knew somewhere in him that this wasn't probably a good idea, but he felt that saying the truth was more important. "It's actually heichou whom does all the cooking… and he's also the one whom does most of the cleaning…"

Hanji froze in place with her laughing eyes, except that now her jaw was hanging in air. When Levi twitched, she jumped 5 inches away from Eren with a fearful expression. "T-t-t-t-t-t-t-that Levi!? Housework!? What!? I have to let Erwin now right now!" Just like that, completely misusing her 3D gear, she sprang from building to building with a grin on her face.

Levi sighed tiredly, making Eren cringe, tears already bobbling up. "Eren…" his voice echoed in Eren's head. "Should we go home?"

That day, he was forced to sleep upside down with an apple pie directly beneath him. It was hell, for he couldn't reach it. If he tried, the rope would stretch and he'd hit the ceiling. Hard.

Rather than feeling dejected (he did feel a bit, though), Eren was reflecting himself as Levi wanted him to. I never knew how much heichou hated it… I mean, he didn't show it at all! After a long thought, only one explanation fitted this: Because Levi likes him, so he doesn't mind. He mentally slapped himself for even having that thought as more blood rushed to his head, making him giddy. But… there's really no other reason I can think of! Why else would heichou cook for me when he hates it so much? Then he recalled his smiling face when he said he liked it. … I may be getting ahead of myself, but does heichou perhaps want me to praise him? If that's so…

BACK TO THE PRESENT...

"… Eren, what the fuck did you do to my kitchen?"

Levi had just woken up and was still in his pajamas. It was a size too large for him which Eren presumed it was because there was no smaller size, with his cute sleeping cap that drooped.

"I- I just thought I'd make breakfast for a change today… I didn't think it'd be so hard…" Eren averted his eyes guiltily as he saw the mess he made. Oil was spilled all over the table and the cooking pot was burnt. Not only that, the end product which was supposed to be omelet rice looked more like rotten melted cheese. Of course someone who looks highly upon cleanliness will find it disgusting…! Oh shit, it's all over…!

"… You're mulling over what that stupid glasses said yesterday, aren't you?"

"Huh?" Eren turned to look at Levi, puzzled.

"About me disliking cooking."

After a pause, Eren nodded. It was true, after all. "Heichou… umm, you know. You don't really have to cook for me if you dislike doing it. I mean… um… it's nice and all, but…"

"Is it troubling you that much? I thought you liked me. Was I wrong about that? When you chose clothes for me, I was kind of happy though…"

An overwhelming urge took over Eren and in a second, he was squeezing Levi tightly in his arms. "O-oi, Eren! What are you doing!? Get the fuck off me; you smell disgusting!" Eren didn't let go, and in fact squeezed Levi tighter. "Heichou… heichou… Levi heichou…!"

"W-what?" Levi managed to squeak out a reply.

"Nothing… I was just thinking that I really love you!" he nuzzled his nose into Levi's good smelling hair, his mouth lightly brushing his skin.

Eren couldn't see it then as he was hugging Levi, but his face had turned a slight pink and his heartbeat was just a bit faster than usual.

Maybe… just maybe… things are going to move forward faster than these two might realise themselves?

Afterwords: It was fed to the wild dogs in the forest nearby. Levi ended up cooking for Eren again and they had a somehow awkward silent meal C:

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE exams are over! AMIGOSH ~ So happy LAWL!

In this special chapter they seem to have gotten closer after Eren learns something new about Levi!

Oh Levi, you were secretly happy that Eren cooked for you weren't you? After all, you didn't even scold Eren or hit him when he fell asleep on the sofa, all dirty and smelly even without cleaning up...
