Since the day was over and no more work had to be done, Levi, Hanji and Eren were in a room together. Eren and Hanji were playing as Levi finished up the little bit of writing he had to do in his report for Erwin. He did join in on the little play session that was going on when ever the toddler walked over to him. A little tickle was all it took for Eren to squeal before running back over to the woman for some safety. Though it was not really safety since Hanji would attack Eren with tickles of her own until the boy managed to wiggle away.
After the boy wiggled away from the brunette woman though Eren ran a little bit too fast and ran into the leg of Levi's desk, smacking his face into the furniture hard enough to cause the boy to squeal and cry as he put his hands to his face screaming out for Hanji and Levi. Both quickly went to the boy's side, Levi scooped the boy up into his arms, "It is alright Eren."He said as the raven hair did his best to sooth the toddler.
Hanji noticed a tooth on the floor and picked it up, "It looks like Eren knocked a tooth out." She looked to the toddler and smiled, "Eren can you let me take a look please?" The boy immediately opened his mouth enough for Hanji to see inside. But she could not see where he had lost the tooth from, "Um.. I can't see where he lost it Levi." She looked up to the raven hair who tilted his head just enough to look himself, "Can you see where he lost it?" Hanji asked as Levi looked into the toddler's mouth.
"I can see where a tooth is already growing in. But should it not be coming down that quick?" He asked looking to Hanji as the toddler had enough and buried his face into the man's chest, breathing deeply as he calmed down.
"His tooth should not be growing in already. At least I don't think so. I read about how titan shifters can regrow limbs and teeth. Sometimes quickly." Hanji looked to Eren and frowned, "Could he be a titan shifter too?" Her gaze went from the toddler to Levi's face.
The man shrugged, "I don't know. It is possible. If he is or isn't we can't talk about it to anyone else. They will freak out and do something stupid." His hold on the toddler tightened at the mere thought of how people could respond if they found out that Eren was a titan shifter. Hanji nodded quietly, looking down to Eren who was now almost like he was attached to Levi since the toddler was holding onto him so tightly, "At least not until it is the right time to say he is a titan shifter. Until then not a peep. At all." Levi said before standing up, Eren still in his arms as the raven hair walked towards the private bathroom to clean Eren up.
Hanji looked down to the tooth that remained in here hands, there was a gloomy look in her eyes as she wrapped her head around the knowledge of just how much danger the toddler would be in if anyone found out about Eren being a titan shifter. This was a secret that must be kept to keep the boy safe. They could not even tell their commanders. Yes it is a decision that could cost Levi and Hanji their position in the Corps and their lives at risk but it neither Levi or Hanji cared. They came to love the boy to much to want to reveal him to other people.
Standing up, the woman walked over to the fireplace and tossed the tooth into the flames dancing around in there. She purposely tossed the tooth into a part where it would fall and not be seen. Levi came back into the room but with out Eren, causing the woman to look to the raven hair with a questioning look, "Where is Eren?"
"He fell asleep while I was getting him cleaned up so I put him to bed." Levi said as he moved over to the sofa and sat down. The brunette woman walked ovef and sat down next to him. They did not speak. Instead there was a painful silence in the room. The only noise was the crackling from the fireplace. Levi's hand rested on top of Hanji's, she looked over to him and could clearly see how worried the usually calm man was, at least from what she could see in his eyes since his face was expressionless. Yes he was always expressionless but she learned that if she paid attention to his eyes that she could see how he is feeling. She turned her hand over and squeezed the man's hand lightly. The man looked to her before silently kissing her, which she willingly allowed and returned.
