My little Levi (Erwin x Levi)

Finding Out

     It was finally Levi's day off, all he had to do was drop off some paperwork to Erwin, and have the rest of the day to himself. After dropping off the paperwork to Erwin, he went to the kitchen and brewed himself some black tea and went up to his room.

     He sat in his bed, his cup of tea on the nightstand, a stuffed bear in his lap, and a book in his hands. He peacefully drank his tea and read his book, slowly slipping into his headspace. Whenever he regressed, he never went younger than a toddler, that was where he was most comfortable.

     He put his book on the nightstand, and pulled the blanket over his shoulders and hugged his teddy bear, settling in for a much needed nap. But before he could fall asleep, His bedroom door swung open, it was Erwin.

     He immediately  pushed his teddy bear off the bed and onto the floor and out of sight. But it was to late.

"Levi? What was that?" Erwin asked.

"N-nothing" Levi stammerd out, his voice somewhat high pitched.

Erwin walked over to the bed and looked over to the side that was out of view.

"No no! Don't!" Levi called out, but it was all for nothing.

Erwin reached down and picked up the teddy bear. He then looked back at Levi, who was close to tears.

"Levi, you didn't have to hide the bear from me, if you still sleeping with a teddy bear, that's perfectly fine honey" Erwin spoke softly.

But despite his gentle words, Levi begun to cry.

"I didn't want you to find out.. I'm sorry Erwin.." he cried.

"Oh Sweetheart, come here" Erwin said, picking up Levi and setting him in his lap.

He handed Levi his teddy bear and just let him cry it out. Levi cried into Erwin's chest, speaking some words, but were to muffled to hear. After about 10 minutes of crying, Levi finally calmed down enough to speak.

"What's your teddy bears name?" Erwin asked.

"Her name's Harriet" Levi responded.

"What a pretty name, what else do you have?" Erwin asked, curiosity in his voice.

Levi reached under one of his pillows and pulled out a small cowboy hat. He then placed the hat on Harriet's head and lifted the bear for Erwin to see.

Erwin smiled at the act and kissed Levi's head. Then he popped the big question.

"Do you have a caregiver?" He asked.

Levi didn't respond, instead he looked down into his lap, before looking back at Erwin and squeezing his hand gently. Erwin knew right away that he meant he wanted Erwin to be his caregiver.

He smiled and gave Levi another kiss on the head, before laying him down and covering him in his blanket.

"Sorry I interrupted your be nap honey, you can go ahead and sleep* he spoke gently.

Levi gave him a smile and nuzzled into his pillows before drifting off to sleep.
