Tiny Titans
Summary: A day with Levi and his twins who don’t know when to stop eating.
Levi walked calmly into the mess hall that morning with his twins walking by his sides, their small hands grabbing Levi’s 2 fingers on each hands and thomping their baby steps on the floor. The twins were now able to walk and run on their own but still needed you and Levi’s guards on them because they tended to run or walk carelessly which ended up having them bumping on people or stumbling upon their legs which caused them to kiss the earth sometimes. Another reason was that they were never full, never wanted to stop eating so both you and Levi had to make sure they didn’t steal other people’s food or force people to share their food with them.
You had to leave the twins under Levi’s care as you and Hange had a mission at the other part of the wall a few days ago where you were supposed to arrive at the headquarter today. Levi sat at the table and put the twins on the table before Mikasa came and placed the food tray on the table which consisted of a bowl of porridge for the babies and Levi’s simple breakfast, as he asked for her help earlier to take the said porridge. Then, she moved to the other table where all Levi’s squad took their seats. Not long after that, Erwin arrived at the mess hall to have his breakfast while sharing the table with Levi and his twins.
Levi carefully brought the spoon to his twins' mouth, alternately feeding his son and daughter until the last drop of the porridge before feeding them with milk from their baby bottles. He took the chance to eat his breakfast as the twins were drinking their milk while sitting on the table, short chubby legs hanging from it. Then, his son approached Levi, one hand was holding the bottle while his other hand tried to reach Levi’s bread. Levi quickly moved his hand away, and looked at his son intensely as a sign of warning, not that his son gave any care about that sharp look anyway. Meanwhile, his daughter was crawling to Erwin’s direction, eyes glued to the Commander's bread as well. Erwin, who always had a soft spot for the twins, voluntarily gave his bread to the little girl.
“Erwin, don’t. She just had her porridge and milk. She's not hungry at all.” Levi immediately stopped Erwin and his daughter as if she understood Levi’s words, instantly dropped her bum on the table and lowered her head showing how sad she was for not being able to get the desired bread. Erwin chuckled as he saw Levi’s daughter reaction and tore the bread but failed to make it into equal halves. The bread was now into one small portion and another one was slightly bigger, Erwin brought his hand that held the small bread to the little girl, she looked up at Erwin with her cute smile but then she pointed at the other hand, demanding to have the bigger part which Erwin complied without any hesitation. Levi shook his head slowly followed by a sigh, then he tore a big chunk of his bread to give it to his son as the little boy started to get jealous with his sister who successfully got her bread from the Commander of the Scout Regiment. Now, the twins ate their second breakfast happily while sitting on the table and Levi could finally had his breakfast peacefully, or at least that was what he thought.
After a few moments, Levi was sipping his tea when his son was climbing down from the table to the bench and slowly getting his feet on the floor of the mess hall which was followed suit by his twin sister. Levi quickly grabbed the twins and brought them to his chest, not wanting them to go anywhere much to their dismay. His son started to grabbed and pulled Levi’s hair and his daughter started to stretched her body just to break way from her father’s strong grip. Erwin watched in amusement while smiling warmly.
“Levi, why don’t you let them go? I don’t think they would get lost in this mess hall, it’s not even that big anyway.” Erwin tried to persuade Levi to let the poor children ran freely.
“It’s not about them getting lost, I just don’t want them to steal people’s food or anything.”
“They ate a lot already just now didn’t they? Maybe they just wanted to walk to your squad.” Levi sighed upon Erwin’s words but gave in nevertheless. He carefully let his kids stood on the floor and warned them to behave before they walked off happily and Levi could continue drinking his unfinished tea. The twins quickly went to the table where Levi’s squad sat and was greeted by Armin. Armin carried the little girl to sit next to him as she was stretching her arms at his direction, wanting her to be lifted. Her twin brother went to Jean and tapped the man’s hips with his small palms, demanding him to carry his little body probably too lazy to climb the bench by himself. The twins then climbed on top of the table and crawled towards Sasha, who was no doubt had the biggest food portion among the soldiers at that table. Levi's twins had their eyes followed every movement of her hands, when Sasha opened her mouth, Levi's daughter opened her mouth as well as if she had food coming into her direction and moving her empty mouth in a munching action while Levi's son had his hand tried to reach Sasha's spoon but failed. Their continuous attempts to steal food made Sasha reluctantly gave up and shared some of her soup that morning with Levi's naughty twins perhaps because she couldn't handle those cute pair of eyes that stared at her or maybe because they were her Captain's children.
After the twins started to get bored, they climbed down to the floor and walked from one table to the next, greeting people or to be precise taxing people for their food. Then, the twins stumbled upon a middle aged man who was the head of the kitchen. He was carrying a box packed with bananas when he kindly greeted the twin. Noticing the twins’ stare that was directed to the bananas, he took two bananas and gave one to each of them. The twins held the banana with one hand then they showed their empty hands towards the kind man as a signal to want another one.
At the same time, Levi let his eyes wandered at the mess hall, trying to find his little twin. That was when he saw the two little creatures trying to demand more bananas at the man who was incharge for the kitchen. He stood up and walked towards their direction with eyebrows twitched with annoyance, but was a little too late because the twins saw their father and were smart enough to know that their father won't let them had those bananas. So, they quickly shoved the bananas under their clothes and slowly took a few steps back before they ran away from their father using their tiny plumpy legs. They were spurting while hands were glued to their clothes not wanting their precious fruit to fall off. Their chubby cheeks and shiny black hair were bouncing as they were running while giggling. All of a sudden, the mess hall was filled with the cackles from the twin and everyone watched with amusement as Levi chased his twins around the mess hall.
As the twins were running away, Levi's daughter suddenly stumbled upon her own legs, fell on the ground and had her banana rolled out from her cloth. She quickly got up and picked up her precious banana, and her brother who was ahead of her, turned around and took her hand to help her get on her feet again. Noticing their father who was getting close, they quickly crawled under the table and hid there, hoping that their father won't be able to catch them.
Levi didn't know whether it was the Ackermann blood that was running inside his kids or the fact that babies who took something that they shouldn't-were just able run really fast. He had his eyes followed his twins until they decided to hide under the table which made him stopped running as he approached the table. Slowly, Levi lowered his body then kneeled before he showed his face under table which caused the twins to shriek with laughter and quickly ran away. This time, they didn't run between tables, but instead they went under one table to another not caring whether the tables had people sitting around them or not.
After some time of running, the twins’ fatigues started to kick into their tiny bodies. So, they rested under the table where Mike sat with Nanaba and the other soldiers in his squad. Mike signalled at Levi whose eyes were wandering around. Levi nodded and quickly caught the tired twins into his arms and brought them to the head of the kitchen so that they could return the bananas.
"Come on, brats. Give back those bananas, you had enough breakfast today, you know," Levi asked while looking at his kids who had their lips curled down, showing such a sad expression to be separated from the bananas.
"Bana bana...," his daughter softly said but still reluctantly handed out her banana to the head of kitchen. At the same time her brother was hugging the banana close to his chest, pretending not to hear a words from his father.
"It's okay, Captain. They can keep it, I really wanted to give them those bananas." The man said.
"Really? Don’t just give them whatever they want because they’re my children."
"No, Captain. It's fine, really. I do want them to have it." He convinced the father of the twins. Levi was not someone who would push and pull so he decided to let go of the case but he did plan to return the favour.
"Alright then. Brats, what do you need to say?," he tapped his kids' thighs while looking at them.
" -ankyouu ~", the twins said in unison with sweet smiles which melted the head of kitchen's heart causing him to eagerly responded with a warm "you're most welcome little ones".

You gave the door two knocks before you twisted the knob and opened it. It was Levi's office door and it was the first place you went to as you arrived at the headquarters. As you opened the door, your eyes were greeted by your twin who were wiggling their plumpy little bodies while holding a banana in one of their hands.
"Mommmmy!," your son and daughter yelled your name as they saw you entered the room while showing the bananas in their hands. You hugged both of them followed by some kisses on their heads. Being separated from them for a few days had made you missed them so much. The same goes to the man that you were walking towards to, whose eyes were staring deeply at you while waiting for you to arrive in front of him.
Levi stood up as you were slowly getting close to him to embrace you tightly to his warm body. As he was hugging you closed his eyes, inhaling your scent as he was relieved to have you safe and sound in his arms.
"How are you?," you whispered to him while still being hugged.
"Never been better." Levi answered which caused you to smile and buried your face deeper into his muscular chest. After some time of hugging, Levi sat back on his chair while bringing you to sit on his lap.
"Did you buy those bananas?," you asked since you had been curious about it but chose to greet all of them first before you asked anything.
"Nope. Those belonged to the kitchen but the head of the kitchen gave them. I actually saw them asking for more but they saw me coming to get them so they quickly ran away." And so Levi told you how the kids were just never get full. They finished off their porridge and milk yet asked for Erwin's bread and forced Sasha to share her meal and used their cute faces to get free bananas from the head of the kitchen.
"They are such a tiny titans, aren't they?," you sighed while smiling after hearing Levi's story and rested your head at Levi's chest. His chest vibrated with his deep chuckles upon hearing your words.
"Hmm. Our tiny titans." He admitted, his arms held you tighter and pressing your body on him even closer. Levi looked down to watch your face who was smiling, he gladly return the smile with a soft kiss on the bridge of your nose.
Then, your daughter walked towards you with her twin brother by her side, handing you her banana for you to feed her. You took the yellow fruit and peeled its skin, then you purposely brought the peeled banana closer to your mouth, acting like you wanted to eat your daughter's fruit.
"NOooo! Mommmy! That's mineeee," your daughter screamed dramatically at you while she stood on her toes and had her hands tried to grab back her banana from you. You laughed at her reaction and proceeded to feed her.
"Didddyy....", your son softly called his father and handed his banana also expecting his father to feed him. Levi obliged at his son's request and calmly fed his always-hungry little boy.
"Is it nice?," he asked his son. The little boy nodded his head instantly while his round cheeks became rounder due to being filled with the fruit while his mouth was busy munching it.
"Yuummmmy~," he finally spoke, licked his lips and opened his small mouth again as a signal for Levi to feed him some more of his banana. Levi chuckled as he watched his son getting so ecstatic just from eating his stolen fruit.
As the time passed by, you and Levi spent afternoon to feed your children bananas while they turned around, hands flapping and wiggled their waists and chanting "bana bana" probably feeling so happy for being able to eat bananas with their parents. You comfortably sat on Levi's lap while having one of his hands lingered around your waist at the same time he fed your son. And no, you didn't even get a bite of the banana, your children won't let you because it's their bana bana not yours.
