Plz plz plz plz bare with me I have never even thought about this ship as a possibility bc I have been a full blooded Ereri shipper since it became a thing and Idk how this will go lmao

Erwin had never been sick. He was Captain America, his immune system was more like the first infantry of the United States than just a normal one. Sure, he's sneezed, choked on some food, had headaches, the normal things but he had never really been sick enough to say he was sick. There was a first for everything, of course.

Erwin woke up this morning, rain pouring from the sky like someone forgot to turn the shower off, the clouds blocking the sun, and the wind blowing from every direction. It wasn't cold outside, but he was shivering and his head felt like it weighed twice its normal weight. He bundled himself up in a hoodie and a few blankets, knowing that his perfect attendance to his morning lecture was going to be ruined, but he knew that he wouldn't even be able to drive himself there let alone keep his head up during it.

He curled up in his bed, lights out and the only sound was the rain hitting the roof of his apartment. He soon drifted back to sleep, but was woken up by his phone going off. He ignored it, but half an hour went by and it made its little noise a few more times. Eventually, his phone started ringing without stopping. He groaned and blindly reached for it. He clicked it off, turning the sound off as well and then shut his eyes. His head was pounding, and his body was honestly protesting every move.

He dozed off again, and when he woke up the next time he knew it had to be late. His clock on the wall told him it was half past one in the afternoon, but he was honestly still too exhausted to care. He knew that even his evening classes would have to be missed today. He craved some sustenance, but lacked the motivation and energy to get up and get something.

He turned his television on, the sound barely loud enough to be heard, and watched some random shows that were being shown. A little more time passed him by, and it was time for his class to begin. He was too zoned out to notice that his phone was vibrating uncontrollably on his bedside table.

The only thing that brought him out of his trance was frantic, loud knocking on his door. He sat there for a moment after it stopped, but it continued again and this time, it didn't stop. He finally willed himself to get out of bed and go to the door.

When he opened his door, he seen a worried Levi, whose face then went to anger, and then to a soft one. He took in Erwin's condition and smiled.

"You're sick." Levi concluded, and Erwin nodded.

"Yeah, but I'll be okay. Just a cold. You shouldn't be here though, you'll get sick too." he said to the boy, but Levi didn't listen as he walked into his apartment and to the kitchen.

"Do you want some soup?" he asked, and as much as Erwin wanted Levi to leave so he didn't get sick as well, he really wanted some soup. He nodded finally and watched as his attentive boyfriend made soup, and then let him eat. Erwin curled up on the couch after he ate and Levi washed the dishes he used.

"Thank you, Levi." Erwin said, his voice sort of distorted from his sinuses. Levi just smiled and sat on the couch with the blonde guy, resting his head on his shpulder, and before both of them fell asleep, Erwin whispered, "I love you."

Levi was sick the next day.
