"Happy birthday!" A young brunette exclaims as he jumps upon the sleeping form on the bed.
"What? Eren!" The now awake but disoriented form exclaims from the sudden weight on his body.
The brunette wraps his arm around the older man and cuddles into his chest, grinning. "Happy birthday, Levi." He repeats.
Exhaling a puff of air from his nose in amusement, Levi pet Eren's hair. "So where's my gift, brat?"
Eren then reaches down to the floor where he dropped a box in favour of cuddling Levi. Sitting up so he is straddling Levi's thighs, Eren presents the box with both arms and a blinding smile. "Ta-da!"
The rectangular box is loosely wrapped in a hideously bright orange paper, which seems to have been crinkled slightly due to the impact with the floor earlier. To top it all off, there is cartoonishly big white bow sitting just off centre enough that Levi can't tell if it was supposed to be in the centre or at the corner. Either way it irks him to no end.
"You wrap this yourself or did you get a two year old to do it?" Levi asks, raising a brow.
Eden huffs and says "I wrapped it myself! And if you can't appreciate it, you don't get a present!" as he tries to make a grab for the box. Levi brings a hand up to Eren's forehead and uses the other hand to bring the present up in the air behind him so Eren can't reach. After a few seconds of flailing arms, Eren gives up and Levi clicks his tongue at the younger man before turning to open the gift.
Levi, while on the surface looks like someone who would probably steam his gifts to get the tape off without ripping the paper and then iron the wrap afterwards, can't help but rip apart the paper with slight suppressed glee. Eren smiles fondly at his partner knowing he is one of the few people Levi would allow to see such a site.
When the paper had been ripped to shreds, a mere carcass of the box shape it had been in, Levi was met with a deep red box with a familiar denim brand's logo on it. The raven haired man raises a brow at that, knowing Eden must have found such childish glee in shopping for Levi at Levi's. Opening the box, Levi was met with a dark blue jean jacket.
"Thank you, Eren" Levi says, leaning in for a kiss. The brunette grinned and kissed his partner.
"Well go on! Try it on!" Eren encourages. Levi rolls his eyes but does so anyways. As he moves to pull on the jacket, Eren jumps off of his legs to grab another present from behind the bed frame.
"It is more casual that most of the clothes I own, but it fits nicely." Levi observes. When he looks up, Eren is now sitting on his side of the bed, with yet another hideously wrapped box. "What's that, brat?"
"Merry Christmas, Levi!" The younger cheers.
"Seriously? Right now?" The raven haired man asks despite his slight amusement.
"Open it!" Eren urges.
Levi shakes his head fondly, but follows the orders none the less. Yet again, the exposed box has a familiar logo on the top and when opened, reveals a soft grey crewneck. "Levi's again? It's not as amusing as you think it is, Eren."
"Yes it is!"
Levi looks at Eren in disbelief. "Oh my god I'm with a five year old."
"Hey!" Eren exclaims, smacking Levi with a pillow. "It's funny. And I couldn't help it! They literally have your name on them. They were meant to be owned by you!"
"So every article of Levi's clothing is supposedly mine?" Levi asks, arching a brow.
Eren nods earnestly before pulling out yet another box. "Last one, I promise! Happy anniversary, Levi!"
Levi huffs in amusement and unwraps the gift, unsurprised for the wrapping to peel back to reveal the same red box as the others. "Levi's jeans. What a surprise." The grey eyed man says in monotone despite his partner's snickers.
"Well I couldn't just buy out their entire store and not get a pair of their signature pieces! And anyways! They were having a sale, so I grabbed a pair for myself too!" Eren said, gesturing to the jeans that he was presently wearing. Levi had failed to notice the younger had already been dressed in the chaos of the gifts, but swallowed down his disgust of street clothes being on his bed. In theory they were still clean since Eren hadn't had any time to go anywhere, right?
"Why are you wearing Levi's if you said all of the Levi's clothing is meant to be mine?" The shorter man eggs, something almost sinister in his voice.
"I just told you! There was a sale!"
"Nuh uh. Not a good enough answer. Take them off." Levi replies, pushing the small pile of gift wrap and boxes onto the floor. He could deal with that later.
