Experimenting With Miracles // ERERI

Chapter 9

"Well for one..." Levi laid a kiss into a chestnut mop of hair and rubbed a gentle hand across Eren's protruding stomach. "You're carrying my child."

Eren shivered under Levi's ticklish touch. Strong arms hugged him closer and he couldn't help but feel privileged for being able to be this close to the man he loved so dearly.

"Levi...I-"

"And secondly..." the older let his lips drift along his pregnant lover's collar, "You're beautiful."

Eren let out a soft mewl at the addicting attention--they really hadn't had much time lately for such frivolous affections with Levi's work and Eren's pregnancy.

"Thirdly, you keep me sane."

The teen laughed at Levi's weirdly sentimental words--where did he go so right in order to get such kindness from the stoic Captain Levi?

"And how do I do that, hmmmn?" Eren purred.

"Tch. As if I know. I've been wondering that since the day I fell in love with your bratty ass," Levi scoffed, slipping onto the bed and hugging even closer to his husband.

Eren giggled goofily and turned his nose into Levi's chest. They laid there together in quiet peace awhile. It was the happiest Eren had been in a long, long time. He was in bed at eleven in the morning, nothing to do, nowhere to go, with the most amazing man in the world hugging his back and their child happy and warm in his stomach. Perfection. He never wanted to move again.

A warm pair of lips trailed against his ear causing him to sigh in content. Corporal

was being really affectionate today...

"When you're ready, brat, I'll give you your next present," Levi whispered into his ear.

Eren shuddered, "I don't need anything else, Levi."

"I know," the man nuzzled his hair and kissed his earlobe, making Eren tremble more. "But I like to spoil my brat rotten. And since it's your birthday I thought I'd do something extra special for you."

That perked up the still slightly sleepy shifter.

"U-uuhmm..." Eren stuttered as Levi stood from the bed. "W-we probably shouldn't do it--it may be too hard on the b-baby..."

Levi raised a slim brow at the accusation. He patted Eren's belly.

"Who said anything about sex?" Levi asked casually.

Eren's cheeks flowered a bright pink color. He opened and closed his mouth like a fish, searching for his words.  

"I-I thought that's what you were talking about!" Eren yelped.

Levi smirked devilishly, getting down on his knees in front of the bed and pulling Eren's legs to hang over the edge. Eren squeaked at the motion, stomach stirring in confusion.

"L-levi?"

The older kissed his knee.

"I was going to suggest I give you a foot and back massage but if you're that horny..."

"No! Massages are fine for now! Thank you," Eren squawked, covering his face in embarrassment.

Levi smirked again, "Shitty brat."

His Corporal grabbed up one of his socked feet and began to rub it smoothly. Eren moaned in relief; his feet had been aching for weeks without relief, but the muscles melted against Levi's fingertips instantly. Levi's strong hands were madefor massages, Eren quickly realized. Titan killing machine his ass--Levi would have been an even better masseuse.
