It had taken about a week for things to completely calm down after their little feud. Levi and Eren had finally agreed not to talk anymore about what their baby might come out as and instead focused on keeping to the positive side of things.

A new development that had arisen was the fact that Eren's old clothes were no longer fitting as well, especially his pants. His shirt still had stretch to it for his growing belly but his pants would hardly button anymore. And thus began the step into a set with an elastic waist. They felt bizarre but much more accommodating than his old pants.

But of course, with the obvious added weight came a bit of insecurity. Eren wasn't used to it and worried that Levi would begin thinking him ugly when in fact it was the opposite.

While he still loved the toned and lean form his lover usually had, Levi held a special adoration for his new pregnant body too. He supposed it had to do with the fact that their child was growing within that body, or perhaps it was the way Eren practically glowed when running his hands over his belly - whatever it was, he liked it just as much as he did the brunette's usual physique. Reassuring Eren of that fact was something he devoted himself to doing nearly everyday.

Something else that had come up was the fact that Eren could no longer attend any kind of training, Hanji had practically forbidden it and Erwin had all too easily conceded to her wishes. Instead, he had been assigned cleaning duty practically everyday. The occasional cleaning job he could handle, but as he kept having to tidy and dust things he found himself hating it more and more.

Upon receiving his orders for cleaning duty that day, Eren was instantly in a poor mood.

"What the fuck is with you?" his spouse questioned as he buckled himself into his harness. He had immediately picked up on the displease the other was exhibiting.

"I have to clean the study hall today," Eren muttered, "and I really don't want to."

Levi wrinkled his nose, "Too bad brat, light duty doesn't mean off duty."

"But they couldn't have had me groom and walk the horses? No I have to clean," he grumbled in annoyance.

His lover rolled his eyes, "The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be finished."

Eren glared at him half heartedly, "Stop being sensible and let me pout."

The raven shrugged on his jacket and headed for the door, "Whatever. Clean it well, I have to inspect your work afterwards."

Eren gaped at him, "So I have to clean things to your level?" The look he received said it all. He flopped back on the bed with a dramatic groan, "Dammit."

"And don't worry about what you can't reach."

He raised a brow, "Why not? I could use the ladd-"

"No," came the protective growl, "no ladders."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Levi crossed his arms, "No ladders."

"How the hell am I supposed to clean things to your standards then?" He challenged.

"Someone else will clean those parts," his senior replied levelly, "you just have to clean everything else."

"This is going to take forever."

"Exactly, so get your ass moving," Levi said.

"Yeah you'd like that wouldn't you," the titan shifter muttered as he very reluctantly got himself dressed.

He yelped when he got a swift swat on his ass. He glowered to his lover who had a satisfied smirk on his face as he left.

Eren eyed the tall bookcases with disdain. He heaved a sigh and slipped the bandana over his nose, deciding not to further delay the inevitable. He was completely shocked when his cloth came back covered in dust.

"What the hell," he yelled, "does no one clean this shit?!" He let out an animalistic growl when he found the same was true for the next two shelves.

The few cadets that were in the hall left then, if nothing more than out of fear.

Eren kicked a nearby chair angrily. He didn't even pay any mind to the ache in his foot after, such was his irritation. Grudgingly, he set back to work; though his movements were much more aggressive.

It took him 45 minutes to finish the first bookshelf; or at least the parts he could reach.

By the time he had finished it, he was fuming. There was no way in hell he was going to finish the bookshelves, let alone the entire hall.

No one dared enter the room, lest they be confronted by the brooding male. Even Armin and Mikasa wisely stayed away, knowing better than to try and interact with Eren when he was in such a mood.

Eren slowly made his way through the shelves, growing more aggressive as he went. If the sheer lack of cleanliness was driving him up the wall, he didn't even want to imagine what his lover's reaction would've been. Someone was clearly inadequate in the ways of dusting, or any kind of tidying for that matter.

As he lifted a few fallen books on the his current bookshelf, five black spiders scrambled from under them… right up his arm.

He screeched and flung his cloth away, shaking his arm frantically in a desperate attempt to shake off the arachnids. A few fell and he stomped them out of existence with a loud and effeminate shriek.

The last two clung to his arm and bandana respectively. He was quick to rip off his bandana and slam it into the bookshelf with a loud whipping sound. He felt only mildly satisfied when he spied the little body falling lifelessly to the ground.

Eren became more desperate as the last held on to the fabric of his shirt. "GET OFF," he shouted, finally shaking it free from his arm. It scurried away before he had a chance to step on it.

The doors to the study hall burst open with a loud bang as Levi appeared in the doorway.

"Eren!?"

He gave a cry of relief upon the sight of his lover and surged forward into his arms.

Levi accepted him easily, trying to spot any signs of injury, "What the hell happened? What was all that noise?!"

"I-I was just cleaning and they just jumped out and I f-freaked out and tried t-"

"Hold on, hold on," he interrupted, "who or what are 'they'?"

Eren looked at him with alarm, "S-Spiders!"

A look of realization lit up the Corporal's face as he looked back at the smashed spiders on the ground. He couldn't help a chuckle at the absurdity of it all.

Eren could fight titans, face a courtroom full of people that wanted to kill him, and deal with the one and only Hanji Zoe; but God forbid he be faced with such an evil as spiders.

"Why are you laughing?" The younger asked with cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"You're an idiot," Levi said with a hint of fondness showing in his gray eyes.

"They were crawling up my arm and trying to bite me," he insisted.

"Apparently spiders tend to do that when you destroy their home," the raven stated.

Eren scowled and pulled away, crossing his arms, "Asshole."

"Only for you brat."

"Oh gee, I feel so privileged," he grouched with crossed arms.

Suddenly he was in Levi's arms again and being bent backward. He squeaked in surprise, gazing up into gunmetal orbs in shock.

"As you should.." Levi said so smoothly that it was practically a purr.

His heartbeat echoed dully in his ears as he was pulled back up. He swayed a bit with a blush enveloping his face.

His lover merely looked on with a pleased smirk.

"Now," Levi said in a firm tone, "you need to go get cleaned up, seeing as you're utterly filthy." His hands that had been placed possessively at Eren's hip, slowly drifted lower. "Think you can handle that?" He asked with a sensual gleam in his eyes.

The brunette merely nodded mutely, not quite trusting himself to speak. He definitely let out an extremely feminine yelp when one of those strong hands lightly smacked his behind. He flushed a deeper red but gave his lover a coy smile, "Or maybe not… I may need some.. help."

"Oh?" He let out a few puffs of air against the other's sensitive neck.

"Won't you join me for a shower?" Eren breathed in a husky tone of voice.

"Mmm, but Hanji said no strenuous physical activity for you," Levi murmured from his position at Eren's neck.

He wrapped his arms around his spouse's neck and smirked, "It's not strenuous if we're just touching."

Needless to say, his senior didn't need any more convincing.

It also went unsaid that when Levi emerged quickly from the study hall with an extremely pleased looking Eren latched onto him, there weren't too many questions asked.

Someone else finished cleaning the study hall that night.

The next day Eren awoke with a fierce headache. He didn't even attempt to rise from the bed because of his pain. He let out a long groan as he rolled onto his other side, hoping to escape the light that was peeking through the curtains.

"Did I wake you?" Came Levi's call from somewhere nearby.

He shook his head, stopping shortly after as it only intensified the aching in his head. "N-Nooo, my headache did."

There was an obvious frown in his voice, "Another one?"

"Unfortunately," Eren grumbled in return, covering his eyes with his arm. The light was only aggravating his headache; actually everything seemed to only intensify the agony in his skull. "Oh god, just kill me," he begged.

"Shut up, dumbass," his lover snapped, albeit quietly.

Suddenly a cool cloth replaced his arm. He moaned at the relief it gave him, he reached blindly for the other's hand. "I don't know what deity sent you; but I am so glad they did, babe."

Levi's hand wrapped around his own, "Shitty glasses suggested this for whenever you get a migraine. I've also ordered for us to have thicker curtains to hopefully keep more light out."

"Godsend," the brunette declared weakly, "I love you."

"And I you, now stop calling me that," his spouse scolded.

"Hmm never." His words were slurring a bit.

Thankfully, his senior seemed to understand, "Try and get more rest, brat. There's nothing to be done today, so just relax."

"Easier said than done," Eren retorted tiredly, "you try sleeping when titans are stomping around in your head… not so easy. I would love to sleep though… ugh."

Levi snorted, "Hence why I said rest, not sleep. Apparently your hearing is affected too."

"No I'm just not paying attention."

He scoffed at that, "Good to know. I'll come check on you in the next hour or so."

The titan shifter waved slightly, "I'll be here."

"Thank you for clarifying, shithead. I wasn't aware."

"Hey! You be nice to your ailing lover, it's not nice to be mean," he called, waving his index finger like a scolding parent.

"Well now he's just being redundant," another voice commented.

Eren was a bit surprised, "Wait is that Hanji?" He lifted the cool cloth from his eyes to see.

"Welcome to my life," Levi sneered, "you get something to help him, shitty glasses."

"Yes, Captain Grouch-Ass," she teased as he left. Her excited gaze then turned to the titan shifter, "Hello my little titan!"

He winced at her volume, "Hi Hanji, can you talk a bit quieter please?"

The woman slapped a hand over her mouth dramatically, "My bad."

He offered her a patient smile, "It's alright… Got any miracle remedies for these awful headaches?"

Hanji hummed and put a hand to her chin in thought, "Well…. I may have one idea, but I want you to agree that you won't get mad."

"I'm too tired to," he answered truthfully, "I just want to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep."

She shrugged, "If you insist."

It wasn't seconds later when he felt a pinch on his neck and consciousness left him.

"Whoa, that worked a whole lot better than I thought," Hanji observed aloud. She chuckled nervously, "Guess I'll just tell Levi he fell asleep.." She shifted the pregnant man a bit so that he was more comfortable on the bed and pulled a blanket over him.

She gave a motherly smile as she watched him rest, "Sleep well, my little titan." Hanji left quietly after that, intent on finding some kind of remedy that could aid Eren when his migraines struck without endangering the child he carried.

Eren awoke several hours later to a hand running through his hair. He opened his eyes blearily to find his spouse sitting beside him on the bed. "Levi…?"

"You're awake," the man replied, looking down at him.

"Hmmmm that sleep helped," he mumbled sleepily, huddling into his lover's warmth.

"I don't know what shitty glasses did to help but I suppose it worked," Levi muttered.

The brunette shook his head slowly, "Mmm dunno, all I felt was a pinch and then I was sleeping." He grunted when his lover tensed, "It wasn't a needle type pinch, Levi, calm down."

"Even so, I'm going to figure out what the fuck she did to you," he growled.

"Ughhh forget I said anything," he sighed, "just calm down and lay with me. Let's forget everything for awhile."

Levi scoffed in reply, "I'm not going to let that bitch get out of trouble because you don't want her to be."

"Her name is Hanji, babe."

"Not right now," he grumbled, "and stop calling me that."

Eren merely smiled, running a hand over his belly in a subconscious manner.

His superior's eyes were drawn to the motion. He said nothing as he gently pushed his partner away and stood up from his position.

"Levi?" Curiosity painted the younger's tone.

Levi began to push up the long shirt his lover had on, pausing only when a hand reached to stop him.

"Don't," Eren said with flushed cheeks, "..it looks weird."

He wanted to roll his eyes, "It won't bother me, I just want to see how the baby is growing." He waited until the brunette relaxed a bit and moved his hand. With gentle motions, he pushed the shirt to expose the growing belly of his love.

He supposed it was odd - seeing the distinctive baby bump on a man. And yet, he couldn't help but think of how beautiful Eren looked. Levi allowed a small smile to show, in hopes it would further relax the other; it did.

"You're beautiful Eren," he murmured as he leaned forward and planted a kiss on that stomach. Levi didn't need to look in order to know Eren was blushing, he could practically feel the heat radiating from him.

"You're weird," the younger said in a mock pout, arms crossed over his protruding middle.

Levi smirked up at him, "You love it."

The blush tinted his cheeks a lovely shade of pink, "O-Oh yeah? Well.. You love me!"

"I do, but that was obvious given current circumstances."

Eren hid his face with an embarrassed whine, "Leviiii!"

His only response was a deep chuckle.

We thought you guys deserved a fluff break ;)

Anyway see you next week guys!
