Work Text:
Eren finally ropes Levi out of the house for a vacation. Eren made sure Levi kept busy packing half the picnic food so he's completely hands off work, his laptop put away for an entire day. Eren then takes care of everything else, bringing the bubble gun along with their basket.
Levi drove for a good 2 hours before reaching the place. Eren immediately jumped out of the car with the bubble gun in hand, his laughter mixing with the twittering of birds idling on treetops as translucent orbs float around him, his other hand waving at Levi.
Levi took it upon himself to set the mat, laying the contents of their basket out as Eren runs around shooting bubbles.
"Watch out for the big rocks."
"I kno—
Eren fell onto his knees just as soon, but Levi expected it anyway, rushing toward him the next moment.
"Alright, hand the toy over."
Eren shook his head, brushing dirt off his scraped knee. "I can still fire bubbles even just by sitting."
"But I know you won't." Levi sighed. "Nothing makes you sit still."
"Almost," Eren pointed the gun at him, a grin on his face.
Eren pulled the trigger and bubbles spewed into the air, somehow forming an arch over Levi's crouching figure. "See?"
Levi reached out and gave Eren's cheek a pinch. "Brat," he laughs, scooping Eren from the ground and into his arms.
Levi knew Eren wanted him to take things easy for once and proposed this impromptu picnic. Though it wasn't anything elaborate, it was more than enough, that he can watch Eren enjoy himself like this is already healing in itself.
"Did you know? There's one more thing that could make me sit in place for hours?" Eren crawls and sits on his lap, arms snaking around Levi's neck.
Securing his hold on Eren's waist, Levi kisses him. "I think I know."
