“Erwin!”
Levi’s voice was high, shaky, hinged on panic. He sounded weak, so unlike himself that it caused Erwin to shoot up out of his chair swiftly, making his way down the hall at top speed towards the bedroom.
He found Levi curled up under blankets, his skin pale and clammy and his eyes wide. He was sick with food poisoning, and noting his grimace, Erwin knew what he was going to say next.
“I have to shit.”
Wordlessly, Erwin helped him from the bed - necessary by now because he’d been like this for over a day - and to the bathroom, much to Levi’s chagrin. He cursed the entire time in a strained tone, walking stiffly in order to avoid a - well, an accident, and slammed the door in Erwin’s face.
He didn’t take offense. Levi was frustrated and sick, and humiliated by this entire experience.
“I’m never eating Petra’s cooking again.” He groaned once he was back in bed, shivering while Erwin re-cocooned him in blankets.
“I know. Water?”
Levi accepted the glass Erwin handed to him, gulping it down before collapsing onto his pillow. His forehead was sweaty, so Erwin took a damp cloth and began to wipe his face, watching as Levi closed his eyes.
“How’s your stomach?”
A pained sigh was Levi’s only response, muffled by the pillow. Thinking he wanted to be alone, Erwin moved to leave, only to pause when he felt thin fingers grabbing his wrist.
“Thanks for...helping me, or whatever-”
Erwin turned when Levi mumbled, saw one eye peeking up at him above a scowling, reddened face. He knew it wasn’t from fever, so he smiled, tangling their fingers together before pressing a kiss to Levi’s forehead.
“Of course.”
This time when Levi sighed, it was in contentment.
