You pick up a present from the table. It was from Eren, Mikasa, and Armin.

"I'll open it now," you say. Levi gives a slight nod, as he selects one of Hange's present and rips the wrapping paper covering it.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin had bought three things and wrapped it all in one gift wrap. It contains two pairs of all purpose gloves, a set of hand towels, and a set of cooking utensils. You chuckle lightly at the sight. as you show the contents to Levi. Who looks at it with a slight nod of approval.

"These looks like they were meant for you. But they know we'll need them." you say as you put them to the side.

You look at Levi who had opened one of Hange's gift. He picks it out for you to see. You immediately gush over it when Levi pulls it out from the wrapping paper.

It was a hand-made nursery mobile that you can dangle over the crib. It had little Sonny and Bean, little stars and other decorations made from stuffed cotton and felt sewn together with buttons for its eyes.

"Wow, did Hange make this?" you ask.

Levi looks down at the wrapping paper and picks up the note laying inside, "There's a note here." he says. He glances at it with a small smile, before handing it to you.

You grab it and mentally read it to yourself, it says:
"For your yet to be born child!"

You clear your throat, and put the note back into the wrapping, as Levi puts the cute nursery mobile back on the wrapping paper and places it on the couch next to you.

"Moving on!," you say, as you grab one of Hange's gift from the table, Levi didn't pick any one else's gift but Hange's, as he goes to grab the last of Hange's gift.

"Let's open them together," Levi says. You nod as the both of you rip each of the present in your hands.

You look down at the gift, as you say, "I got ...scented candles." you say as you hold out one of the three small scented candles in your hand. You lift your head up to look at Levi sitting in the armchair as he stares at the package on his lap.

"I got three..balls." Levi says.

"What? Three..balls?" you question. You stand up from the couch and walk over to the side of the armchair. You sit down on the armrest as you lean over to take a look at what he's talking about.

They were balls alright, the texture like soap, but they smell good.

"Wait...I've heard of these, but never seen them myself," you say, while picking one up into your hand to examine it. One smells like the gardenia flower. All their scents are soothing.

Then Levi picks up a card left inside the wrapping paper and read, "Bath Bombs."

Levi takes a glance at you as he continue to hold the note in his hand, "Bombs?" Levi questions.

"Levi they're not...real bombs. Smell it," you place one by his nose, as he nods slowly still clueless as to what he is looking at.

"Should we take a bath together before dinner?" you suggest abruptly.

Levi looks up at you, still holding one of the bath bombs in your hand as you sit on the armrest. Levi wraps his arm around your hips, as he leans his head on the side of your waist, "We should, but after we open the last gift."

You pick up Hange's bath bombs and put them on the table. Sitting back onto the couch, as Levi still sitting in the armchair looks at the last present laying on the table.

Levi picks up the last present. It was the biggest one out of the others that the both of you had opened. Levi feels it between his hands. You gaze upon his expression as he raises his eyebrows while he touches it in the palm of his hands.
