[ uhhhh.
what?
frankly, he doesn't have the heart to message Falco back and tell him who this message actually went to, so he waits at the end of the day for him to come home and tell him in person.
which might actually be worse. is that worse? fuck. he doesn't know.
anyway, whenever Falco drops by he'll just be sitting on the couch with his omni trying not to look too ominous. ]

Hey.
. . . Hello.
[ —okay, he’s low-key worried manabu talked to levi about his “message” and that he’s either in trouble or going to be sat down to talk. he hopes it’s none of that, but levi just sitting there, with his omni out . . .
falco ducks his head. to his luck or unluckiness, he hasn’t a clue about what had been sent, a touch more warped than what he’d first typed up. ]
I, um— Is it okay if I stay at Jun’s again tonight?

You don't have to ask my permission.
[ it's probably a good thing Falco isn't actually his son because he very clearly has no idea how to parent. then again, how would he?
he sighs inwardly; he's not looking forward to this at all. but he might as well get it over with, so he pulls up the message on his omni and holds it out for Falco to come over and see for himself. ]
Pretty sure I wasn't meant to see this.

[ . . . he did send something recent, and he hopes it isn’t that as his heart sinks, meandering over—
what was already a growing green tint around the cheeks goes deep and all the way down to his neck and at the tips of his ears. sputtering, sputtering, sputtering— and his voice cracks the signature way a teenage boy’s does. ]
I— I didn’t send that, I didn’t— write it, [ clears his throat an octave, ] like that—

[ oh, boy. this is how they're doing this, huh? the "it wasn't me, I swear" way. he waves a dismissive hand because it doesn't really matter and pockets his omni. ]
Look, this isn't any of my business, anyway. I just wanted you to know because I'm assuming whoever you did want to send this to never got it.
[ he is kind of curious, though, admittedly. who has caught the attention of his fake son? he couldn't even guess. ]

...Oh.
[ okay, now he feels kind of bad. it's not like he was angry about receiving a goofy message not meant for him, but it sounds like it wasn't even carelessness that put them in this situation.
really, he should have known Falco better than that. he sighs. ]
I wasn't aware. I guess that explains why there's even more stupid shit getting posted on here than usual, though.
[ he pauses for a moment, considering. ]
Well, I saw nothing, then. How's that work?

I don't know who this was meant for, though. And it sounds like these aren't even your real words. So what do I actually know, then? Maybe that you like someone? Like I said, it's none of my business.
[ plus, what's Falco gonna do, ask him for dating advice? unlikely. nobody's that desperate. ]

[ erwin is a planner, as ever. he plans things to the last detail before executing them, or at least usually. he's sharp as a tack, quick as a whip, and he always, always knows what to do in any situation.
he sits on figuring out what to get levi for his birthday for weeks.
why? he knows that whatever he gets levi will like it because it's from him, but that's not good enough. he wants it to genuinely be something levi will enjoy.
he settles on a couple of things, eventually, one practical and one more personal. both are perfectly tailored for levi in different ways.
so when he comes up behind levi in the kitchen, plants his chin on top of his head, and wraps his arm around him, his voice is pitched low and pleased. ]
I have something for you.

[ frankly, he doesn't give a single shit about his birthday. if he wasn't wished a happy birthday on the same day every year (by Erwin, usually, until he was gone) he'd forget all about it.
this year is no exception. between the perpetual drama of being here and being even more permanently attached to Erwin than he was before, he has no attention span left for stupid shit like his birthday.
Erwin does, though.
so he's not terribly surprised when Erwin comes up behind him, or when he claims to have something for him. he'd never be able to guess what it is, but it almost doesn't matter. Erwin being there at all is by far the best gift he could possibly receive.
he's happy no matter what. ]
Oh? Seems kinda unprofessional. Is it a firm handshake?
[ a firm left handshake, of course. ]

[ erwin doesn't care about his own birthday, but he cares about levi's. isn't that just how it goes? since levi cares about erwin's. ah, love, what it does to people.
he huffs a little snort-almost-laugh through his nose at the commentary, turning his head to rest his cheek against his hair instead. his hand plants flat at levi's chest in a way that's evocative of their bond because it's right over where his handprint will linger forever. ]
Unfortunately, I need you to be prepared for something even more unprofessional than that.

Hmm.
[ it does feel very Correct having Erwin's hand there, but he's going to turn around to face him anyway, slipping his arms around his waist. there's almost a smile on his face. ]
Well, thanks for warning me, then.
[ he drops the facetious tone. ]
You didn't have to do anything, though. Having you here is more than enough for me.

Oh, I'd always warn you first. What kind of man would I be if I didn't?
[ still light, still teasing, though he sighs contentedly when levi turns, his hand planting at the small of the back instead so he can look down at him. ]
I knew you'd say that. I want to, though.
[ he leans in just enough to brush lips over his temple. ]
You deserve good things.
