The Loving Machine

Chapter 6

"His heart rate is the same as always." Eren sighed as he wrote down the record on his book.

Levi was sure well-behaved today, he was sitting in front of Eren with a smile on his face. Also, proudly displaying the dress he wore.

"Of course his heart rate skyrockets! He's in love!" Hange squealed.

Instead of growling at her because of her annoying voice, Levi face turned red at the statement.

"I can't just write down that he's in love, important documents like these must have concrete information." The Alpha glared at her before turning to Levi who was still smiling at him.

"You're hopeless," Eren sighed again, moving to his desk, he grabbed his lunch box. "I'm eating lunch."

Levi gaped at him in shock. His Alpha thought he was hopeless yet, he's not. He could detect threats and kill them in a second, could heal faster and sometimes never felt pain. However, there's still something lingering on the Omega's mind. He could offer protect to his Alpha but that's not what he needed right now.

"Perfect! I'll just heat up some water for tea. I'll join you, wait for me I'll just get my lunch!" Hange said before she left the room.

Levi stared at the open door. The annoying scientist mention that she heat up some water, maybe he could offer his Alpha some tea to go with his lunch.

Pulling out all the wires on his body, Levi ran out of the room. He heard Eren called his name but he ignored it and proceeded to his task.

Reaching the small kitchen, the kettle was already singing a faint whistle. Levi knew how to make tea, he saw Eren made one and it was pretty simple but reaching the cabinet where the tea bags were stored was not easy. Even in his tip toes he couldn't reach it. With a growl, he dragged a stool from the kitchen island and used it to reach the cabinet.

Levi smiled down at the box of Earl Gray and at right moment, the kettle gave a high pitched whistle. He jumped out of the stool and grabbed a mug, the one with a cat prints on it. He took the kettle, not bothering on turning off the stove.

"Levi! Stop!" Eren shouted at the doorway.

Levi jumped at the sudden alarm from his Alpha, the heavy kettle filled with hot water slipped from his fingers and fell on the floor, spilling all its contents and leaving steam on its wake.

Eren quickly lifted the still shocked raven and let him sit on the other side of the island. "You are hurt?" The Alpha examined both of his hands and feet.

That was a close one since Levi was walking with bare feet, the hot water could surely damage those tiny feet if Eren didn't picked him up. The brunette double checked his hands and feet, finding them are unharmed, the Alpha sighed in relief.

"Don't do that again. You can't just hold hot surfaces with your bare hands! You should have asked me for help!" Eren scolded him.

Out of nowhere, Levi yanked the Alpha's neck down on his scent gland. Eren froze in an instant as he's senses filled with the calming scent of vanilla and strawberry. Levi purrs and gently rubs his hand on Eren's hair. Calming the Alpha down.

He felt Eren relaxed and lean half of his weigh on the smaller male. "Just... don't do it again." Eren pulled to look at him in the eyes.

Levi just nodded with a smile knowing that Eren cares about him. "And we need to get you some shoes." Eren eyed his bared feet.

"Awww! So cute!" Hange whispered but the two males could still hear her from the doorway. Eren just rolled his eyes on her.

"Come on, let's eat. I pack more than expected, is it okay for Levi to eat solid food?" Eren picked the raven again and Levi automatically held on him.

"Well, let's find out."

***

Surprisingly, the day didn't seem stressful to Eren now that he got used with his workplace, his boss and Levi.

Levi could eat solid food with no harm on his system, in fact his body welcomed it and he was able to finish his plate. If the raven could eats with no problem, then he could also drink, so they prepared that Earl Gray again.

Levi was so amaze with the new taste on his mouth with his heighten senses he could tell each ingredients on Eren's lunch.

After the long day, Eren tucked him again but not like a cocoon this time. Levi instantly fell asleep which made Eren's job easier.

"Goodnight Levi," he said before closing the door quietly.

Hange left earlier due to an appointment with her doctor, leaving Eren all alone walking out of the underground. He was about to pull the door when the door was opened by a tall blonde Alpha in a suit.

"Ahhh, may I help you sir?" Eren stared at his giant eyebrows.

"Where is Hange?" The blonde man demanded and stepped inside.

"She went home early for an appointment. You can go back tomorrow morning, sir." Eren offered and blocked his way. He doesn't know what captain eyebrows would do when he finds out that Levi got out of his confines.

"And who are you?" He lifted one of his giant eyebrows on Eren.

"I'm Hange's new assistant. I'm a marine biologist." The last info was not necessary but Eren loved to tell people that he's a marine biologist.

"Oh, I'm sorry but we are not studying the lochness monster or mermaids in this lab, you may leave now. For good." Giant eyebrows glared down at him.

"Excuse me?!" Eren saw red.

"I mean you're fired. Or should I translate it on fish language?" Eyebrows taunted, crossing his arms on his chest.

"You are not my fucking boss! You don't have to right to-"

"Or you want me to fire your boss as well?" He threatened, releasing a powerful Alphan scent.

Eren growled at him but he could't risked to take Hange down with him. Instead of fighting with the blonde giant, Eren turned towards the door and closed it behind him. He waited for the other Alpha to get out as well and locked the door.

Eren just held his head high. Levi would snap when he finds out that he could never see his Alpha when he wakes up.
