Flapping Of Wings
Summary: Random bonus scenes from It Takes Two Wings To Fly, mostly from the moment Eren and Levi reunited onward. Fluff, fun, slight non graphic smut, occasional angst, short. Not in chronological order.
1. Hair
"By the Walls, Yeager, what have you been doing to your hair all these years!?" Levi demanded with a grunt as he tried to scrub away the filth matted into Eren's once luscious, gorgeous hair. It was still thick and somehow soft, but it was filthy, matted with sweat and dirt. And it was tangled. It was so very, very tangled. He couldn't card his fingers through one inch of it without hitting a snag. Levi was honestly surprised he hadn't come upon any branches or - he shudders - bugs making a home for themselves in this tangled mess. There were certainly conditions for it. Honestly, Eren could hide a small knife in this mess! "I swear the only reason you still have hair on your head is your Titan healing and nothing more."
"Hey, I actually do my best to wash my hair as often as I could," protested the younger man as Levi went at his hair like he would at Titans. Thankfully, Levi has yet to take out scissors, or else Eren would have jumped naked out of the window. He likes his hair just the way it is. "I can't believe you're literally forcing me to take a bath. I would have done it more than willingly if you'd just let me-"
"Eren, your hair is an absolute mess."
"I haven't had access to much soap over the years! I had to settle for only river water to wash my hair 90% of the time!"
"Well, if you'd at least combed it-"
A knock on the door and then the innkeeper poked his head in. He took one look at a shirtless Levi standing behind Eren's form in the bathtub and arched an eyebrow. "Seems I'm interrupting. Excuse me." He scurried out with flushed cheeks faster than Levi sliced Titan napes, leaving the two Eldians to wonder what his problem was.
Then Levi figured it didn't matter and returned to the task at hand, bitching at Eren all the while for his poor hygiene habits over the last twelve years while Eren lamented and complained that it was unfair to judge him that much when he rarely ever walked among humans and it was lucky enough that he had soap to wash himself at all.
Neither understood why, later, the townsfolk either couldn't meet their eyes or were blatantly staring at them with flushed cheeks.
Levi was just glad Luka and the kids didn't treat them any differently.
He was getting annoyed by the staring.
