A loud groan came from a young man who continued to clean the windows that he was stationed to do. "Why the hell are we cleaning right when we get here?! It already looked spotless when we stepped in!"

"Jean stop complaining already and finish those windows."

"We could be training right now, I'll take cleaning."

"Shut it Connie you were complaining not too long ago." Jean scowled wiping the window again. "You too Reiner."

Reiner held his hands up. "Hey I'm just saying we could be."

"Will you all just stop talking and get back to work already? We won't get dinner if we don't finish...and I'm sooooo hungry..."

"Food is all you can think about Sasha." Connie looked over from wiping the floor behind her.

Sasha sighed sweeping the floor. "I was given little at lunch so I'm starving..."

"What I also don't get is what happen to Eren, he's a child now?"

"He had hit his head causing him to lose all his memory from after he was five. Therefore making him act like he is still five years old."

"Bertolt can you help me here I can't reach it."

The taller boy nodded going over to help.

Jean scowled once more ringing out his now wet rag. "Now because he is a kid he won't do shit and is being babied by Mikasa!"

Off in a room Mikasa along with Armin tried their luck with the brunet.

"Eren please can you listen to us?" Armin calmly said holding his hands up.

"No! Petra nee-chan said that after I got through before I can play for once!" Eren pouted; despite not being able to be with Levi the boy still wished to play.

"Eren but we need for you to do something with us." Mikasa tried next.

The brunet looked at them arms crossed and pouting. "...What is it?"

Before they could speak, Sasha came in stopping them. "Mikasa, Armin, they want you out in the stables."

"Okay, Eren stay here and once we're back we'll tell you what we needed to tell you." Mikasa told him before quickly going out with Armin.

"But I want to play!" The brunet whined flailing his arms around.

Sasha looked at him an idea coming to mind. "Hey hey Eren! You said you wanted to play a game right?"

Looking her way, the boy nodded; tears swelled up in his eyes when he couldn't play yet.

"You know where the kitchen is right?"

He thought about it before nodding again.

"Show me where that is and I'll show you a fun game!"

Eren instantly cheered up as he stood. "Yay!"

"Sasha what are you doing?" Connie came up to the both of them when they came out of the room.

"I'm having Eren here show me the kitchen! I'm starving Connie I need to eat!" The potato girl whined holding her stomach for more effect.

Connie crossed his arms still holding a rag. "You're gonna get in trouble if you are caught."

"That's why I'm not! Come on Eren so I can show you that new game!" Sasha grabbed the boy's arm dragging him away.

"Oh this won't end well not one bit..."

A squeal came from the girl's lips when they finally got to the kitchen. "They carry quite a bit of food! I even saw some of their own gardens outside! What should I make first?!" She started to grab different ingredients.

"Sasha nee-chan..." Eren came up next to her pulling at her sleeve. "What about the game?"

"Oh! Right...umm..." She tied on her apron thinking again. "Why don't you watch me cook?"

"Cook?" The brunet tilted his head to her.

Nodding enthusiastically, Sasha pulled out some bowls and wooden spoons along with a roller. "Yeah! Have you never seen someone cook before?"

"I saw my mama cook sometimes, but she would always shoo me away so I couldn't see it often."

"Then how about I show you what cooking is and tell you about it some?" The girl got out flour and some fresh picked eggs cracking them.

Eren nodded getting curious about the process.

Sasha whipped the eggs holding the bowl in her hands. "So besides eating the amazing food that cooking brings it also has much more of an art to it than most see it as." She added the flour along with some water mixing it. "There are certain foods for occasions, oh! Even some for those you care about, friends loved ones, lovers."

"Lovers?" The brunet looked at her head tilted.

"Don't worry about it, you'll learn about it when you are older...yeah." Next Sasha took out the dough putting it on a cutting board as she started to work it. "Cooking also allows for people to connect with one another. Like if they preferred a dish together or they didn't like something of another and they would point out what they didn't like." The girl took the roller smoothing out the dough.

Eren watched her quite in awe at what she would do.

"So then with all the different kinds of food there are certain types that would appeal to people's feelings or mood. Like sweet bread or cookies for a love or if you are in the mood for sweets. Sour, bitter, juicy, tangy tastes there's soooo many! I'm making some cookies and bread right now." Sasha finished off creating the bread and cookies. Putting on the fire, she slipped it into the oven dusting off her hands. "You see Eren there is many things that cooking can bring if you put your heart and soul into it. That and it tastes sooooo heavenly...so if you ever make any for someone you care for, they will love it as long as you tried your best and you put your heart and soul into it!"

Having listened to her, Eren looked at the oven where the bread and cookies were being made. He thought about those he would like to try making food for. Petra nee-chan I think she would like some...maybe...Levi too... The brunet blushed a bit still looking at the oven.

"All done!" Sasha carefully took out the bread and cookies setting them on the counter letting them cool down. "Cooking is something not to be messed around with though. Don't try it without knowing what to do or being taught." The girl took a bite of the bread handing him a cookie. "I'll show you a better game later Eren!" She walked out of the kitchen.

Looking at the cookie, Eren glanced back at the bowls, spoons, all the left over ingredients that Sasha left. A smile came on his lips as he took a bite of the cookie.

"Eren?" Mikasa had returned to the room where they had left Eren. She and Armin had finished their jobs in the stabled and returned to finish their talk with now the younger boy.

"Where did he go?" Armin asked looking around the room.

"Hey you're gonna eat all of that and not give us any?!"

"I made it! It's all mine!"

The two heard the commotion going out to see Sasha fighting with Jean over the bread and cookies she held in her arms.

"Sasha where is Eren?" Armin asked when they came up to them.

"I left him in the kitchen." She responded munching on some bread.

"You did what?" Mikasa looked at her pulling her scarf around her more. "He is only 5 at the moment, when you leave a 5 year old in the kitchen that will only lead to-"

"Eren!"

The group turned their head at where the sound came from.

Running down the hall away, the young boy smiled big carrying something in his arms. Behind him Petra along with others from the squad ran after him but something was dripping from his arms onto the clean floor. Eren ran passed them still smiling broadly.

"Wait...in his arms right now isn't it-"

"Cookie dou-ahhh!" Petra slipped on some causing her to fall to the ground. Those behind fell as well as they all slipped along the floor for they had been covered in raw, mushy dough from the large mess that occurred in the kitchen.

That group slid across knocking into the new recruits causing a huge domino effect, resulting in all of them on the ground some sliding across it other just on top of one another.

Eren came up to Levi's office when Mike had shown him once where it was. He knocked on the door holding what he had in his arms as best as he could, when Levi didn't come he kept knocking and knocking.

"What the fuck do you-!" Levi finally opened the door when the knocking was getting to him.

"For you Levi! I made them for you!" Eren held his hands out to him a big smile on his face.

In his hands were cookies that Eren had attempted to make from what he seen from Sasha. Some cookies were burnt almost to charcoal, others were all mushy that weren't even cooked all the way. His whole body was a mess from head to toe the mushy dough still dripping onto the ground.

Levi blinked at his figure, when he heard groans he looked down the hall seeing his squad along with some of the new recruits on the ground. The floors and walls were more or less covered in dough at the bottom. "Who..." He looked at Eren again. "Eren..."

"I made you some cookies Levi!" The brunet kept smiling holding out the poorly cooked cookies to him bouncing a bit where he stood.

"...What the fuck..."

I can't leave him alone for one fucking day... Levi sighed deeply. He had managed to catch up on his overdue work to only find more work waiting for him. Sleeves rolled up, the corporal continued to run his hands through the hair of the one that caused him more stress as of late.

"Levi Levi! Look look! All the foamy stuff!" Eren played with the bubbles in the bath he was currently in.

"Called bubbles brat." Levi got the bucket rinsing his hair off before moving to scrub his body.

"Bubbles..." The boy looked at them in awe before wiping some water away from his face so he could see more clearly. "...Levi Heichou?"

"What?"

"Are...are you still mad at me?" Eren looked back up at him with big sea green eyes.

Looking back at him Levi stopped his scrubbing a bit, the image of the smiling boy he found when he opened his door flashed through his mind. Slowly he scrubbed Eren's body again. "...I'm not mad...frustrated that you won't listen though."

"I-I'll listen Levi! I'll listen real good! P-Please don't be mad at me anymore! I'm sorry for yelling at you too!" Eren grabbed onto his arms eyes watering up again. "I-I don't hate you! I-I like you a lot!"

"Oi I get it I get it." Levi pushed down his head scrubbing him more before rinsing him off. "Don't start crying, I'm not mad brat."

Sniffing he wiped his eyes. "R-Really? Y-You don't?"

"I don't." The corporal pulled him out, grabbing a towel he reached up drying his hair. "But you better start behaving more."

Eren nodded watching him dry his body more.

"Finish drying off and get dress, time for bed." Levi walked back out drying his arms off from where he grabbed onto.

Ughhh...and we just fucking cleaned everything...now the kitchen and the halls have to be cleaned again what luck... Looking on what sat at his desk, his mind traveled back to the sight of the boy at his door. How innocent he looked, how happy he was to give him something he tried making. Why am I...

"L-Levi?"

The man snapped out of the daze he was in looking back at Eren who was fully dressed, but his shirt was backwards. "Brat, your shirt is backwards." He came over fixing it for him.

"Sorry...c-can I sleep here for tonight?"

"...Straight to bed."

"Yes!" Eren smiled jumping into bed giggling happily.

Levi rolled his eyes coming over tucking him in.

"Good night Levi."

"Sleep Yeager."

The brunet nodded before slowly falling to sleep.

Enveloped in a deep silence Levi walked over to his desk looking at the cookies that he placed on his cravat. "Got to get a new one of that..." He reached out poking at the burnt one, carefully picking it up he looked at it more. Sighing he took a bite. "...You fucking suck at cooking Yeager..." Levi ate the rest of it looking at the other. "I am not touching that at all." Turning from the horrid sight, he started to take off all the belts on him.

"...Loooove him~"

"Shut the fuck up four eyes, go to fucking bed."

Oh Eren you were asking for it when you made that mess in that kitchen. I tried my best to make him adorable there! Hopefully I did…thank you all soooo much for all the support! I didn't think I'd get this much so early on! I appreciate every one of you greatly! I hope you continue to enjoy my story!
