Starved (Levi x Male!Reader x Eren)

In (M/N)'s eyes, the mess hadn't been that important or big. A simple spill of milk after his elbow had gone off course, it had been an accident, and he'd meant to clean it up. But when Eren, who was resting on the couch, eating popcorn while the movie began, beckoned (M/N) over, the (h/c) male had completely forgot.

And when his other lover, a dark-haired male named Levi, arrived at home - groceries in hand and the usual grimace on his face, he still hadn't remembered to clean up the mess. It wasn't until Levi sauntered into the kitchen, Eren and (M/N) trailing behind him, that (M/N) remembered.

And the spilled milk was still there, on the dining table's counter, just waiting for Levi to see it. And he did. Before (M/N) could sneak his way over to the sink to grab a washcloth and dispose of his mess before anything happened, Levi saw.

"What the hell is that?"

(M/N) nervously curled his fingers around the hem of his shirt. Levi was glaring at the mess on the table, a frown playing on his lips. (M/N) was already looking at his creation, but Eren had just turned around.

"I thought we agreed to clean up messes if we made them," Levi snapped, folding his arms and turning to face his two lovers.

"Who did it?"

"Me," (M/N) sighed, while both Eren and Levi looked at him.

"Bad day, hmm?," Eren questioned, turning back around to help unpack the rest of the groceries.

Levi stayed put.

"You're old enough to fucking take responsibility."

"I-I'm sorry," (M/N) squeaked.

"It's disgusting, and I'm tired of it. Clean up your fucking shit, (M/N)!"

The tone in Levi's voice announced anger, and Eren turned back around to look at the shorter male. (M/N) watched, (e/c) eyes wide in guilt.

"Levi, calm down," Eren demanded calmly, reaching over to place a hand on Levi's arm.

Levi smacked Eren's hand away, huffing in annoyance. (M/N) cautiously took the short walk over to the sink to pick up the wet rag, and hurried back over to his position by the table. He worried a lip between his teeth as he proceeded to clean his mess, feeling a pair of stormy eyes burning into his back.

In slight shame, he threw the washcloth back into the sink, not stopping to watch if it actually landed where he wanted it to, and walked as fast as he could out of the kitchen.

***

(M/N) sat on their shared bed, nose-deep in a book he was too sleepy to remember the name of. The sky had gotten dark since the incident, proclaiming the time for night. But no matter how tired he felt, he just couldn't fall asleep. And none of the methods he had tried actually worked - whether it was as simple as closing his eyes for ten seconds, or the old-fashion "counting sheep." And he felt the nagging need to apologize to Levi, but he was afraid that doing so would only make his lover more angry at him.

But he didn't know that both of his lovers were on the couch, the same movie still on screen, discussing it.

"You shouldn't have snapped at him," Eren told Levi softly, resting his chin on the shorter male's shoulder.

And Levi, who was in Eren's lap, sighed.

"I know. He won't forgive me, will he?"

Eren let out a steady hum, draping his arms around the other.

"Of course he will. He loves you Levi-"

"Fucking shit, do you think he hates me?," Levi cut off Eren's sentence, sitting up a little straighter.

Eren stifled a chuckle, pressing a kiss to Levi's exposed shoulder.

"Just go apologize, dummy."

Levi nodded, standing up and shifting off of the couch and Eren's lap, before he fully registered his lover's words. He raised an arm, flicking Eren on his forehead, to which Eren released a yelp.

"Shut up, brat."

When (M/N) opened his (e/c) eyes, squinting them slightly at the fresh sunlight, and after he embraced conciousness, he realized that he was the little spoon. Wrapped up in familiar arms, with warm and gentle breath on the crook of his neck, he knew who was holding him.

"Levi?"

The male behind him let out a sleepy hum, nuzzling his face against (M/N)'s back.

"Baby," Levi exhaled.

(M/N) stretched out, giving a little moan, before turning around to face Levi. (E/c) eyes silently met silver, and they both smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry for the mess," (M/N) began, but Levi cut him off quickly.

"No. Look, I'm not good with apologies and shit, but I know that I'm the one who's supposed to be sorry. I had a bad day, and I'm sorry that I took it out on you. Are we good now?"

"Yeah," (M/N) blinked happily.

"Yeah, we're good."

They shared a short kiss, but it was sweet, until a voice interrupted.

"So, um, this is nice watching and all, but can I join?"

(M/N) and Levi turned to the door, which was cracked open just enough for Eren to peek his head in. A grin was on the brunette's face, and he gave a little wave.

Levi groaned, but beckoned him over, and (M/N)'s giggles echoed around the room as Eren leapt on the bed without hesitation.
