And here is the start of another collaboration between my lovely GhostiesandGhoulies and I. We wanted to write a bit of fluffy stuff since we tend to write on the-ahem- -darker side of the program, but rest assured that this will be a bumpy ride coated in sugar ;)

We do not own Attack on Titan or any of the characters belonging thusly.

Enjoy!

It was the sound of retching that woke Levi. It was a harsh contrast to the quiet of the night. He rose from the bed, instantly noting the absence of his lover. The sound of sickness continued as he entered the restroom that was connected to his room. "Eren?"

The brunette was hunched over the toilet, clinging to the rim desperately. He heaved a few breaths and pulled away just so.

"S-sorry," Eren stuttered, swallowing hard, "I don't feel so g-good."

Levi narrowed his silver eyes and approached Eren slowly, eyeing the heaving boy with mild distaste. "Disgusting..." he muttered as his love heaved again into the toilet.

Eren gagged and looked around to glare momentarily at Levi before he was overcome once again by sickness, and turned away. Levi stepped further into the room and reached a hand out to ruffle the man's messy bedhead. Eren smiled sadly before retching so harshly he began to cough.

Levi pulled his hand away like it was on fire, sneering down at the sick shifter, "You're not fucking contagious, are you brat?" He walked to the sink and began to rinse his hands like the clean freak he was.

Eren swallowed hard. He gritted his teeth, shaking uncontrollably as he tried to turn his head to his superior once more.

"Nooohh...I just woke up to use the bathroom...and got s-sick!" he punctuated his sentence with another powerful cough, heaving dryly.

"Mhph," Levi reached down and gently stroked Eren's back. "Then I'll stay up with you for a while."

Eren spit into the bowl, flushing the pot of sickness to rid the room of the awful, acidic smell. "Pfanks," he choked, smoothing a hand through his sweat filled locks. He gulped. The heaving was hard to control, so he did the only thing that seemed to help and closed his glossy green orbs, breathing haggardly through the lump in his throat.

As he kept watching his younger lover, Levi decided a trip to Hanji was in order. "Come on brat," he snapped as it appeared the other had finished being sick, "we're going to get shitty glasses to figure out what's wrong."

"She probably won't even be up this early Levi," Eren whined miserably, "let me just go to bed, I think I'm done being sick."

The raven crossed his arms with a challenging air about him, "...And? You still look like shit and almost like you're going to pass out. We're going to Hanji, now."

He released a weary sigh as his superior turned to leave, "W-Wait, Levi…"

"What now, brat?"

Eren flushed a bit, "..Help me up?"

Those sharp silver eyes rolled dramatically as Levi heaved him to his feet, fighting the urge to wash his hands again after he had.

"I swear I will fucking kill you if I get sick three days from now."

Levi turned and helped his weak partner to the door. He kept a strong arm underneath the other's, in case his body decided that the short walk was too much and an emergency "nap" was in order. Hopefully he wasn't that sick, although Levi had to admit he looked a tad too pale and flushed for his tastes. The man frowned as they approached the scientist's room.

He rapped rather loudly on the door, noting the way the boy had sagged against him when they had stopped moving. A few minutes passed and then the door opened to reveal a disgruntled Hanji.

She blinked heavily a few times, observing them wordlessly, "What..? I was tryin' t'sleep."

Levi glared at her, "As was I before the brat got sick. You get to figure out why." He didn't await a response, instead he pushed forward into her messy room and plopped his ailing lover on her bed. "Better?" he asked absently.

"A little," Eren replied eventually.

From the door, Hanji gave a groan of exasperation, tossing her sleeping cap on her desk as she attempted to wake herself up more fully. She stretched and approached the duo, "What's going on?"

"I just got sick and was a bit dizzy," Eren replied, "but it has passed, now I'm just really tired and want to sleep." He sent a pointed look to his superior as he finished.

The raven was unimpressed with his display, "You're sick shitface, stop making excuses."

Hanji merely shrugged, "Seems normal to me." She shared a swift and subtle moment of eye contact with Eren after.

"What the fuck does that mean?"

"Sometimes he gets sick in the mornings," she replied, "especially after yesterday's experiments, I was honestly kind of expecting him to get sick then."

Mentally, Eren congratulated the scientist for coming up with a convincing lie. Levi would kill them both if he knew the truth. He looked to the said man pleadingly, "See? Can we go back to sleep now?"

Levi absently rubbed a hand over his eyes, sighing deeply, "I suppose, until you two idiots are ready to tell me what is really happening."

Both brunettes gulped nervously.

The Corporal turned, "Well, come on shithead, let's go back to sleep."

Eren immediately realized that he wasn't going to get any help going back to the room. He huffed indignantly and pushed himself to his feet. He tossed a curious gaze to the scientist, who shrugged in response. Maybe their experiment had worked.

The lovers made it back to their room, almost immediately collapsing on their bed. Eren snuggled into Levi's side, smiling when an arm wrapped around him.

"When are you going to tell me what's going on?" came the hushed question. Although there was evident annoyance to be heard.

He hummed sleepily, "Mm'dunno what you're talkin' about.."

Levi scoffed, "Shitty brat."

...

His routine of getting sick in the mornings continued for the next two weeks. Each time, Levi would only look on in disdain until he had finished and then drag him back to bed.

It was during which time that Eren began having nausea due to the smell of food cooking and even due to the odd dizziness he was experiencing. Plus he was unusually lethargic the whole time.

When it continued into the beginning of the third week, Levi drug him back to Hanji.

"Alright shitty glasses; you little shits are going to tell me what the hell is going on and how to stop it," the short Corporal said, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance, "I'm sick of waking up at four in the morning to deal with your sick ass. I have other shit to get done and I need my sleep for it."

Eren's brow furrowed in anger but he said nothing, still a little sick in the head and trying to focus on not puking on the floor.

"I-if you were so against it you could've just g-gone to sleep and left me," the young man grumbled.

"Shut up, Eren."

Levi crossed his arms impassively and looked to the half awake scientist. He didn't miss the unsure glance she sent to his sick brat. He glowered at her, cursing how used to his fiery looks she was.

"Levi, nothing's wr-"

"Don't you fucking tell me nothing's wrong you shitface," he interrupted.

Hanji frowned. "Just give it a week and-"

"No. I already gave it a fucking week. I gave it almost four weeks and he's still fucking sick. Something's. Fucking. Wrong," Levi growled, excessive lack of sleep chewing at his patience.

Hanji's eyes flitted to Eren's once again, and Levi finally caught the picture.

"You did something to him didn't you?"

"Levi it's fine, really, it's a good thing..." Eren started.

But the words flew in and out of Levi's ears in a hurry. He walked calmly up to the scientist and grabbed her shirt by the fistful, forcing her down to his height. Gunmetal gray eyes burned holes into the pools of brown before them. Levi's slim raven brows narrowed to a dangerous level.

"I will only ask one more time, you piece of shit. What did you do? What the fuck's wrong with the brat?" Levi asked coolly, his dark undertone sending fearful shivers down Eren's spine.

"It...uhm...Eren! Care to explain!? You're the one whose idea it was anyway!" Hanji shrieked. She tugged her shirt away from Levi's grasp and dusted it back into form, ducking away when the Corporal sent her another murderous glare.

"I-I! No! You tell him! I don't know how the hell to explain all the sciencey shit you did to me!" Eren's swift reply made Levi more and more suspicious. And angry.

The older male turned to Hanji again, eyes afire and knuckles white from the tightness of his fists. "What did you do to him?" he asked.

Hanji let out a nervous laugh before hiding behind Eren on the bed, "N-nothing! He consented to all of it! We didn't even think it would work!"

"I d-did!" Eren stuttered on her behalf, "she didn't do anything I didn't ask for!"

Levi closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he could go over and slap the two of them like the little bitches they were being. Was it really that hard to answer one simple question? Did he need to rephrase so their tiny, little brains could understand the words from his mouth? He pinched the bridge of his nose again, looking up to see green and brown eyes staring back at him in fear. He scoffed.

"Now here's the rundown," Levi started calmly, the bland tone creeping into his voice letting the other two in his presence know he meant business. "I haven't slept well in weeks because this little brat keeps waking me up with his horrid retching."

"It's not my-"

"Shut up," was the hissed retort before the speech continued, "I have come here multiple times now, every time in which you, told me nothing was wrong."

"Nothing is wrong, Levi. I told you everything is normal," Hanji provided unhelpfully.

"Throwing up for a month straight is not fucking normal," Levi spat back.

Hanji gulped and pushed Eren forward a bit more, hiding further.

"I want to know what's going on. Now. None of your bullshit lies Hanji, and none of Eren's either. I want to know exactly what's happening and what you dipshits fucked with now." He punctuated his demand with the cross of his arms and an impatient tap of his foot.

Hanji and Eren looked at each other nervously.

"You start," Eren squeaked.

Levi glowered and looked to Hanji.

The woman sighed and straightened her back, "We started experimenting about two months ago."

"With what?" Levi interrogated.

"With...some things. A drug I invented to be exact. I told Eren what it could do, and he said the effects of the drug were something he was interested in so we started a trial run!"

Eren looked down at his sweaty palms nervously as Hanji spoke. Levi watched him carefully, noticing something was off; There was still something Hanji hadn't told him, Eren's face made that obvious.

"And the drug is what's causing all this?" Levi asked.

There was an uncomfortable pause.

"N-no I don't think so," Hanji said quietly.

Levi opened his mouth to speak but Eren beat him to it.

"So...you think it worked then? Is, that, really what this is?" Eren asked, eyes filled with wonderment.

Hanji smiled tiredly, "Yep, think so! Worked like a charm, eh? Didn't even take too long for the effect to take place either."

And there they were again, leaving Levi out of the loop of something that obviously affected him. He took a step forward, hands clenched again in frustration. Eren saw this and frowned slightly.

"Hanji, can you leave me and Levi alone now?"

Hanji grinned and stood from her place on the bed. She laid a hand on Eren's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. "Knock 'im dead, kiddo!" she laughed, walking to the door.

Levi appeared surprised for a moment as Hanji left before looking to his lover in mild confusion.

"Eren what the hell...?" Levi stopped in his tracks when Eren patted the bed next to him, silenting offering him to sit down.

The Corporal furrowed his brow before sitting next to him.

"Levi I should've talked to you before, I know, but..." Eren glanced up from his lap to see Levi's silvery eyes watching him. He smiled and continued softly, "But in a way we already had."

"What do you mean, brat? I'm sick of you dancing around the subject."

Eren fiddled with the material of his pajama bottoms until he felt comfortable answering.

"You still want to have kids together, right?"

Levi frowned, "What does that have to do with anything, you shitty-"

"Answer the question," Eren demanded, teal eyes pleading tensely with his superior.

Levi shuffled a bit uncomfortably on the bed, unsure of where this conversation was headed.

Eren's eyes pulled a response out of him, "Yes. One day."

The young adult smiled shyly and looked to his lover.

"How about today?" he asked.

Levi's narrow eyes widened marginally as the statement hit him blind in the face. He looked to his lover's stomach realizing in utter shock that Eren had had his hand on his belly this whole time; as if feeling for something.

"I-it's not possible. We're both men," Levi stated, words now filled with uncertainty.

"That's why me and Hanji were experimenting," the shifter said calmly.

"That makes no fucking sense! How is this possible? Y-you..! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Levi bumbled, for once (and only once) in his life lost for words when he utterly needed them.

Eren took his surprise the wrong way. He frowned and tears started to form in his aqua orbs. "Y-you're not happy?" he choked.

Levi's eyes widened again and he immediately grabbed his lover's hands in his own.

"Eren that's not what I mean. I just...can't believe it. We always thought it was impossible. In fact, it is impossible."

"Well it obviously is possible," Eren replied a little bitterly. "I'm...pregnant. I really am. It's not a fucking joke or anything."

The hand around Eren's tightened. The pregnant man looked up, utterly shocked to see Levi's eyes filled with tears.

"L-levi?! Are you okay?! Why are you crying?!" Eren cried, grabbing the man's face in his hands.

Levi laughed and Eren melted inside at hearing that sweet sound-Levi almost never laughed, or really showed any emotion besides annoyance. Eren gaped at the man but wasn't even allowed to wallow in his shock as Levi pulled him in for a hug. Levi initiating a hug, laughing, and crying-what the hell was going on with him?

"If you tell anyone about me crying, I swear I'll kick your teeth out. Pregnant or not," the strict man laughed.

There's Levi, Eren thought with a smile. He hugged the smaller man closer and breathed in his comforting scent. Excitement swelled inside him at the older's reaction. Eren had imagined drama, but nothing of this sort. Tell the others? Hell no, this moment was all his.

"And don't think because I'm so happy that you and Hanji won't get the beating of a lifetime for going behind my back with this," Levi warned. But Eren really couldn't take him seriously with the way his superior clung to him and breathed excitedly into his shoulder.

"I wouldn't mark it off for anything," Eren laughed.

Levi laughed a little and sat up straight, gray eyes piercing his lover's to the core. He took the younger's face in his hands and kissed his lips.

"We're having a baby," Levi breathed.

Eren smiled and rested his forehead against his love's, "We are."

"I'm going to be a shitty dad," Levi scoffed.

Eren nuzzled raven locks with his nose and sighed, "You are."
