Chapter Notes: Filler chapter?

One night in Eren and Levi's dorm room on the early semester as first year students:

Eren and Levi had just finished working on their own assignment, and now, they were lazing around on their dorm room. Eren was snuggling childishly on Levi's flat stomach while Levi laid comfortably on his bed.

"Hey, Levi?" Eren mumbled.

"Mmm?" Levi mumbled back, combing Eren's soft dark chocolate hair lovingly.

"I'm hungry," Eren said, looking up to meet the silver-blue eyes.

"Me too. Wanna go and get takeout?"

"Nooo, I'm not gonna move from here and you shouldn't have to move, too. This is comfy, and I will cherish this moment where I'm finally done with my stressful assignment!" Eren pouted.

"Heh, I guess you're right. So, delivery?" Levi offered.

"Ummm, you see…" Eren got up from his position and looked at Levi while fidgeting nervously, "I used all my money on my wallet yesterday, buying drawing supplies for one of my class."

Eren hurriedly explain it further, "Ah, I still got money on my debit card, even though it's not much, but I need to get it at the ATM first. So, if you don't mind, can you use your money first for paying the delivery food? I'll pay you up tomorrow after I take my money from the ATM."

Levi blinked one, twice.

Then, he chuckled, ruffling Eren's hair playfully, "Silly, what makes you so nervous? Of course we can use my money."

Levi got up and grabbed his wallet, checking the amount of money in it, "I think I still got a few left on my wallet—oh!" Levi froze in his place, looking dumfounded at his empty wallet.

"Um, Eren…"

"Yes, Levi?"

"I don't have money on me, either…"

"Well, shit. I'm too lazy to go out, all I wanna do is cuddling with you in here, and you should do too!" Eren rested his head on Levi's.

"Um… How about instant noodle? We still got some of it."

"Oh, hell yeah! My life is for instant noodle. It's fast to serve, it tastes good, and it's cheap!" Eren beamed, but then he slumped back onto the bed, "But that means we have to get up, go to the dorm kitchen, and cook it there."

"Fine, you wait here and I'll make the instant noodle," Levi shook his head in amusement at Eren's lazy behavior tonight.

"No, wait! I'll come with you!" Eren got up and followed Levi to the kitchen dorm.

"Weirdo," Levi scoffed.

"You love this weirdo, though!" Eren pecked Levi's cheek and grinning at him.

"I sure do," Levi smiled shyly.

"Aw, you're blushing!"

"Shut up!"

When they were at the kitchen, Levi ended up cooking instant noodles for Eren and himself, while Eren only stood there, doing nothing but staring at his shorter lover.

"Stop staring and help me bring these to our room!" Levi said, flustered at Eren's gaze. He handed Eren one bowl of instant noodle, while he brought the other one by himself.

"Thank you, Levi!" Eren took the bowl and then another bowl from Levi's hand before he walked back into their room.

"Oi, I can bring that by myself," Levi protested while following Eren.

"It's okay~ It's okay~" Eren said in a sing-song tone.

"Just, don't drop the bowl."

"Don't worry, Levi. I won't!" Eren scoffed.

As they got back into their room, Eren and Levi immediately sat on the floor, ready to eat their instant noodles, before they continue to cuddling with each other.

Just when Eren was about to slurped on his noodle, he felt a light buzz on his pocket. He put the chopsticks onto the bowl to check on his buzzing phone.

"Oh, it's mom," Eren mumbled, making Levi scooted over to take a good look at the screen.

Eren answered the phone and put it on speaker, so that Levi could also hear it, "Hello?"

"How is my baby boy? Is Levi with you?" Carla replied in a cheerful voice.

"I'm fine mom, Levi's here with me—"

"Oh, hello Levi! My babies! I miss you guys so much!" Carla cut Eren's off, she was shouting on the phone, making Eren cringed and put the phone away from his poor ear.

Levi brought the phone back close to them and leaned forward to speak closely to the phone, "Hey, mom. I'm fine, we're fine. How are you and dad?"

"I'm fine, your dad's fine. He is having a night duty at the hospital now. I have a house for myself, I'm watching my favorite drama while having diner!" Carla spoke in a normal voice, already calm after hearing both of her sons voice, "Have you guys eaten dinner yet?" She asked since it's dinner time and she wanted to make sure that her boys eating properly out there.

"Mhm!" Levi answered, since Eren can't speak now with his mouth full of noodle.

"You're not eating noodle for saving money or just because you're too lazy to go out, are you?"

Eren and Levi froze at their mother question. They looked at two bowls of instant noodles in front of them, then they looked at each other dumfounded.

Eren swallowed the noodle and cleared his throat before he answered, "Yes, Levi and I eat healthy food every day. Don't worry about us, mom!"

Levi looked at Eren only to receive a meaningful wink from the tan young man.

Levi huffed and then he leaned onto Eren, trying to sound as excited as possible, "By the way, recently Eren and I start a part-time job that flexible to our classes' schedule. We're not working at the same place, though," He said, trying to change the topic.

"Oh, right! I worked at the café while Levi worked at the bookstore. The places are close to each other, and it's not far from uni," Eren added.

"Oh, really? I'm glad!" Carla beamed happily.

"Yeah. It's not like our little summer part time job when we were on high school. It's a bit more, uh… Adult-y? Heh, anyway, I found it really hard to earn money. I guess Levi think so too, right?" Eren turned to Levi, giving him a small smile.

"Right. Now I would think twice if I want to spend my money on something."

"Ah, I see. My baby boys are growing up and slowly become an adult. I'm proud!" Carla said in her motherly tone.

Eren only hummed as a reply to his mother, while Levi was eating his noodle silently.

They were at lost for words.

"Well, then. Make sure not to forget to call me! A small little text won't be bad either, if you guys are busy. I'll see you boys this weekend! You are coming back home for the weekend, right?" Carla piped up.

"Yeah, mom. Of course. See you this weekend!" Eren replied.

Levi nodded at the phone. When he realized what he'd been doing, he shook his head, and then opened his mouth to speak, "Okay, we will," That was his only response.

"Great! Take care, alright?"

"Oh, mom?" Eren suddenly butt in, he leaned his shoulder onto Levi's and smiled, "We love you."

Levi looked taken aback at first, but then he nodded at the phone, "Yeah, love you."

There was a moment of silence before Carla chuckled on the phone, "I love you too, boys. Goodbye."

"Bye, mom!" Eren and Levi said in unison.

When Carla hung up the phone, Eren and Levi were looking at the half-eaten bowl of noodles in front of them. Eren took his bowl and slurped his portion, while Levi slowly ate the noodle.

When Eren done eating, he mumbled to Levi, "Tomorrow, let's buy something filling and healthy for diner."

Levi stopped eating midway and nodded, "Yeah, let's consume healthier food from now on."

And consume healthier food they did.

Sometimes.

Chapter End Notes:

WHAT IS THIS SHIT?

Damn, I'm sorry, guys…

I know I should write the next continuation chapter instead of writing this short filler chapter. I just feel like I'm stuck! Not with the story, but with the language. Like, how am I supposed to write this scene in my head that I've been thinking for days? What's the proper sentence for this paragraph? What's the right word for that conversation? Yeah, I'm stuck with that problem since English isn't my first language. I just hope I won't be stuck like this anymore.

This is where I got the idea for my little extra chapter! tumblr post/76091889937/im-glad-that-youre-my-mother

This chapter is un-beta-ed. Pardon for any mistakes~
