Cupping his cheeks and giving him the motherly stare, she shook her head. "Listen to me. This was a gift, not a trade. I don't want anything in return, you understand?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever," he told her, waving her off. He'd give her something in return anyways; maybe some chocolate if he could find it at the market. Or maybe... nice soaps? He had no idea what to get a woman for her birthday.

"My dad's friend sells it. He offered a discount for me and I thought, hey, I bet Eren's never tried this - I think you deserve it. We're putting a lot of pressure on you, so here's a little way of saying thanks from me."

"Thanks, Petra. Seriously. This shit's great and it means a lot that you thought of me... How could I repay you? I'll do your chores for a week for this," he wagered with a small grin, teeth covered in chocolate. He resumed his eating, thankful for the snack before rations.

"Don't eat it all at once! Savour it - you probably wont get a taste for another couple of years." It was so expensive.

He stopped mid-shoving his face full of chocolate, but forced it down, though it was a large chunk of chocolate he had swallowed. "Fuck, yeah, sorry. This shit's good, where the hell did you get it? God, this was so cool of you, Petra, thank you so much."

"I didn't really know if you liked chocolate, I don't even know if you've even tried it -- so if you don't want it, I can make something else."

"I haven't-- thank you, Petra," he told her, opening the box and taking out a piece of the chocolate. He put it in his mouth, and swore he felt sparks fly when the chocolate pressed against his tastebuds. "Fuck, this is so good," he told her, mouth entirely full.

[heavy panting] "Eren! Finally, I found you--" She pushed a small wrapped box into his hands, smiling sheepishly. "Happy late Valentines Day."

He looked at the small, wrapped box with a questioning look. "Petra-- Thank you," he mumbled, quietly, ripping the wrapping paper off the box. "I-  Happy Valentine's Day."

"Of course you can." She grinned a bit, handing her over. "You know, you look pretty cute like that."

"Like what?" he asked, and then looked at the child, struck with something he was quite unfamiliar with. The idea of holding someone's life in his hands was not unfamiliar, but... Looking at the child's face now, he realized, finally, why he was fighting. The flame had died out after sustaining so many injuries; but now... He wanted her to be able to see outside the walls, live a life where paranoia never existed. He wanted her to thrive and be joyous every damned day of her life. Eren wanted her to live like a free spirit, not like cattle. And that was why he fought. He didn't realize how silent he'd been.

"Levi, actually. Hanji being the god mother. You should have seen him, he looked kind of happy, holding a child. We also considered him most likely to survive, so there's that.."

"That was a good choice," he replied, nodding and opening his arms. "... Uh, may I?" he asked, quietly. What if he couldn't see her much after this? If there was a mission or something... Fuck. That was why attachments were dangerous, and he knew that.
