The next morning Hanji found herself not alone in her bed. Cheeky bastard.

She had told him to sleep on the couch and this is where she had left him too after Levi had called his mother, telling her he was fine and would spend the night over at her place like he sometimes did a few years ago too. With 12 - 13 years however he was such an obedient cute child and allowed to sleep in her double bed with her too... damn it Hanji YOU raised him to be the way he was now with allowing him way too much. But she couln't help it if he looked at her with those puppy eyes telling her he felt lonely. Probably being a scheming brat already to have her if he already had a crush on her during this time.

Putting her glasses on, Hanji tried to peel herself free from him. But this wasn't going to be an easy task since she had his two strong arms strongly wrapped around her torso as if she was his personal teddy bear.
And she was only wearing her purple underwear too. Blushing Hanji turned her body around somehow, being still within his grasp but able to face him at least now.
He was topless of course too and only in his underwear. That damn boy.
Traveling with her brown eyes down his body she was surprised how muscular he was. No wonder he could lift her up so easily with those muscles and abs. Damn he was more well packed than most adults. Did he train?
As he started to cough Hanji's eyes stopped starring him up and down, almost feeling shameful. But her curious mind got the better of her. Not the time however now to think about research if he was coughing.
She was thinking actually he would be waking up by now but he was still sleeping as she looked onto his face... his deep red and sweaty face.

"Levi?"

Reaching out to touch his forehead she noticed he was glowing practically.

"You have a fever.."

Hanji confirmed and said in a matter of fact tone.

Another few coughs followed until Levi opened his eyes slowly. The first thing he thought was he felt like shit. The second thought was he was in heaven having a almost fully bare clothed, in nothing more than those sexy purple lingerie being covered, concerned Hanji having right next to him. Her hand was on his forehead still, removing some of his sticky hair from his face.
If this was a dream he didn't wanted to wake up.

"Good morning Levi."

"Morning."

Another cough with him quickly covering his mouth followed by a groan from his side.

"I feel sick.."

"You are sick Levi. This is what you get if you run for hours in the cold rain."

"I have a nice view and got a deal yesterday. I'm not regretting it."

He lightly smirked, watching her with delight how she blushed a little embarrassed. Covering her body a little more with her blanket Hanji looked at him with scolding eyes.

"The deal didn't say you can sneak into my bed."

"I always slept in here a few years ago and you even yourself hugged me in my sleep, remember?"

He defended himself. Not in the mood to argue with him Hanji stood out of bed much to his regret but instead quickly enjoying the view of seeing her dress up.

"I can feel your eyes on me you know."

Hanji rolled her eyes but continued to get dressed.

"You were a defenseless young child there or at least acted that way. Of course I wanted to protect you. Now you are just a horny teen lusting over my body."

Turning around as she was finished putting on her clothes Hanji grabbed him by his shoulders and pushed him back down onto bed as she saw him already sitting up to better watch her.

"And sick soon 16years old stay in bed. I will make you some tea, you must drink a lot and something to get your fever down. You are burning up practically."

"...it's not that bad." He pouted.

"Oh really? I will get the thermometer than we will see."

"Doctor play now?"

Teasing her obviously Hanji flicked his forehead.

"You wish. I can call your mother too to pick you up if you wish."

"You can try to but she is not at home. She is over the whole weekend gone for a shooting far away."

Levi explained not worried over her threat. He was rather starting to enjoy this cold considering he might be able to stay a few days longer at her place if he was lucky.

"Fine, you can stay but only if you behave yourself. No pervert actions like yesterday. And on Monday I bring you home. This is just because you have a cold and a fever and the weather is still bad."

"Yes, ma'm."

And with this Hanji was gone to get everything she needed.
Starting to prepare the tea and waiting until it would be ready Hanji came back with an ear thermometer actually surprised he didn't have any remark about being not a different one or some other pervert words he could have in his fantasy.
Waiting until the beep sound appeared she checked and read what she was guessing she would see, 39,5°. Way too high.

"Her take these. We need to get your fever down, it's 39,5° and here a glass of water to wash the pill down."

Handing him his medicine and glass of water he took them without any complaining.

"Are you hungry?"

Levi shook his head.

"Not really"

Sniffing he noticed his nose was getting stuffed up and his throat was itching now too.

"Seems like the symptoms of your cold are all kicking in now."

Nodding Levi felt a lot more tired suddenly too than a few minutes before still.

"You need a lot of rest. I will be back in a second with your tea. Call if you need anything."

Hanji said before she tucked him back into bed. Her voice was full of care and Levi groaned, hiding his face between his arms, he held over his face now as soon as she was gone.

"Stupid woman if you act all lovely and caring to me how am I going to survive holding myself back until I am 18years old."

After some rest and Hanji continually checking his temperature again and again to see it went a little down or ask if he needed anything she decided it was time to get him out of bed for a little while at least. Hanji send him into the bathroom to get himself into the full bathtub she already had prepared for him. A bath for his cold hot and with oils inside to help him get better.

"Give me your clothes after you took them off. I will wash them. You can wear a oversized shirt of mine still I think. Luckily you are still not as tall as me."

"Sorry about not being not tall enough but this doesn't mean I´m short everywhere..."

"DON'T EVEN START ABOUT IT!"

"About what?"

Levi smirked playing innocent. But the brunette wouldn't let him only stretching her hand inside between the gap of the still a little ajar opened bathroom door and waited.

She stood outside the bathroom holding her hand through the little gap of the door for a while without moving an inch. She wasn't going to peek and be a pervert unlike him this morning. He probably would have watched her excitedly if she took her underwear off... Hanji's face went pink just thinking about it.

"That's all."

Feeling him handing her something Hanji pulled her hand out of the door and went to get them washed.

"I will place your fresh clothes in front of the door for you to take them."

She informed him shortly before she was gone.

Just like she had told him as he opened the door a little later after the water had gotten pretty cold and he was done with his bath, he found some folded clothes ready for him to wear.
What confused him was how the clothes were not hers but males ones... and certainly not his considering how big they were.

Putting them on in a hurry Levi went out to question her about it. He found her in the kitchen working on something. Taking a seat in one of the seats at the table in the kitchen he watched her cook. Wearing an cute dark purple apron while stirring something around with her long wooden spoon in her pot and humming some unknown tune to him around.

"Hanji."

She almost jumped hearing his voice so close behind her suddenly.

"Levi! Don't sneak up on me like this!"

Turning around she looked at him quickly before her attention went back to her pot.

"I didn't sneak up on you. You were just too busy perfecting your housewife skills for me." He smirked again. Only Hanji could make his mouth muscles work this much with just her presence.

"I'm not your housewife Levi."

"Not yet but maybe in the future. At least a man can dream for now and for getting to see you in an apron, I think I will be not regret getting this cold. Only seeing you in nude apron would be even better..."

In the next moment Levi had a kitchen towel thrown at him but he dodged it with ease.

"Levi you pervert!"

"Only about you."

Levi chuckled having fun seeing her burst out like this.

"In your dreams!"

"Maybe in todays."

He countered than turning serious having joked enough.

"Say Hanji, who's clothes I am wearing? These belong to a male human being..."

"Ohh, these are from my ex lover from a year ago."

His mouth dropped open and his eyes went wide in shock. Hanji watched him for a few more seconds, letting him suffer until she burst out laughing. Turning off the hotplate from her stove, Hanji took out a plate before she started pouring hot soup with vegetables and some soup noddles she prepared into it and lastly placing it in front of his face.

"I joked. How does getting teased too much feel? It's clothes Erwin had forgotten to take with him as he changed from his normal clothes into his suit in an hurry for a meeting. We had to discuss some meeting details at my place being way too late, so Erwin came wearing his normal clothes and changed here into his fancy suit clothes in an hurry to just have to sit into his expensive car and drive to the meeting. However he was in such a hurry he forgot to take these with him."

She pointed at Levi, watching him relax in amusement while she explained.

"I remembered them and thinking these would be better for you than you wearing some of mine."

"Tch." She got him.

At least he still got some homemade cooking from her. Hopefully it wasn't poisoned to punish him for his teasing. Hanji filled herself a plate too and sat down next to him. So no it was not poisonous. Lucky for him.

Taking his first spoonful of soup into his mouth he was surprised how good it did taste. The hot liquid feeling good running down his itching throat as well.

"Thank you... for the soup... and sorry for the teasing... I went too blunt.. you know I am bad with words..."

He mumbled while eating his soup, looking down into his bowl instead of her.

A little surprised of his sudden apologize Hanji looked at him and smiled.

"Apology accepted. And well.. if you are so bad with words you should try to use your actions.."

Hanji's cheeks turning lightly pink as she quickly added to not create any misunderstandings.

"Of course without any perverted moves!"

It made Levi chuckle and happy. Actions to make her fall for him.. it was certainly easier than saying words out loud. Watching her bowl and seeing her forgetting to eat from it he spooned up a piece of potato on his spoon and held it out to her face.

"You forgot to eat. The good soup you made will get cold."

"I can eat on my own."

Hanji protested but shyly obeyed only to have Levi refill his spoon and continue the procedure, waiting for her to eat the next spoonful of soup.

"But I am finished." He smirked a little pointing at his empty bowl while hers was still half full. "And yours not so... open your mouth, please."

"Are you going to feed me until my plate is empty?"

She asked despite knowing the answer already. She took the next bite from Levi without complain.

"I think so yes."

Levi said finding actions to use a lot more enjoyable too. Her light tiny red cheeks she had just because he feed her was making his brain at the moment forget about anything negative, like Moblit or the thing with Erwin. He really didn't needed two rivals.

A little later Levi went to take a short nap on Hanji's couch.
As quiet as possible Hanji tiptoed to him, smiling as she leaned a little closer to him to be able to study his face... so peaceful and kinda cute if he is not busy looking grumpy or busy being a little pervert and teasing her.
But sleeping in a sitting position with his arms crossed over his chest like this. This couldn't be comfortable for long. But she feared if she touched him lightly to push him down into a lying position he would wake up. Hanji knew Levi was a very light sleeper since young age. So it was probably better to let him stay like this.

Taking a book out of her bedroom she had started reading recently, Hanji sat down next to Levi on her little couch to quietly read. Like this she had an eye on him too in case something happened. His face was still red but he looked better than this morning at least.

It was peaceful and quiet and Hanji was so focused on her book she didn't even notice as Levi peeked at her from the corners of his eyes. She looked so serene immersed in her book. Her beautiful brown eyes scanning the pages, her delicate fingers flipping the pages and how some strands of her bangs from her brown hair was falling over her face. Everything about her was beautiful for him and he wanted to be closer to her. Right now.
Shifting his body position Levi surprised Hanji quiet a bit as he lied down with his head on her lap. His eyes still closed pretending to be asleep.
Moving her book away she looked down at her lap, directly at him now with a scowling expression on her face.

"What are you doing now? "

"Sleeping."

His eyes carefully opened a little bit to look up at her.

"Sleeping people don't talk as far as I know."

"I was about to go back to sleep. Don't mind me."

And with these words Levi had his eyes closed again. This teenager was unbelievable. Just thinking he can do whatever he wants just because he has a cold. She could hit him with her book or push him off her and Hanji was really tempted to teach him a lesson but something in her restricted her to do so.

Maybe it was his peaceful expression he made having already fallen back asleep as it seems. His hands were resting on his stomach and he had no intentions at least to make some perverted move on her again. Levi was really only using her lap as his personal pillow.

Letting out a long sigh Hanji closed her book and put it away. Her mind was too busy with thinking to be able to continue now her reading anyway. Not if someone was lying on her lap. Carefully and as gently as possible she moved some strands away from his light sticky forehead before she placed her right palm on his forehead while she touched with her left her own forehead to check his temperature.

"Seems like the worst is over..."

Hanji whispered quietly to herself a little relieved. As much as he gave her trouble Hanji still cared a lot over Levi.

"Such an innocent look you have on your face now... pretty cute if I have to admit.. much more love able too. You would be such a ladies man if not for me..."

Sighing she continued caressing his head and combing with her fingers through his raven hair.

What was she only going to do with him?
