"Absolutely ridiculous" Levi muttered under his breath as he gazed down at the sleeping teen in his bed, Armin and Mikasa both kneeling at his side. Hanji sighed as she walked back into the room gaining the corporal's attention. The man cast the scientist turned commander a sidelong glance. "How are they?"
"Historia is fine, a little dehydrated and malnourished, nothing that can't be fixed. A little shaken up too, but that's to be expected. Eren, there's no telling what they did to him. He was bleeding when you found him right?" Levi nodded and grunted his approval. After they had arrived back to their base from the rescue mission Armin and Connie had given the unconscious Eren a bath in Levi's room, the teen was so caked in blood it was a surprise Levi was the one who carried him back, before changing him into clean clothes, hoping to get the teen comfortable. As they did that Sasha and Mikasa had tended to Historia, who was awake but too exhausted to do much herself.
"Brat was chained up in a cell caked in blood. Had a cut slowly healing on his face and what looked like a disintegrating limb off to the side" his brow crinkling in anger and distaste as he remembered the state he found the teen in, his head bowed in exhaustion as his hair covered his blood splattered face, multiple areas on his body steaming as his body attempted to heal itself, the chains that bound him causing lacerations on his wrists, ankles, around his neck and where the chains overlapped on his arms legs and chest. Just remembering made the man's blood boil in rage. Hanji nodded at him.
"There's no real way to tell what happened until he wakes up and tells us." She sighed as she looked over at the duo hovering over their unconscious friend before looking back at Levi. He was trying hide his concern and obvious worry for the teen in his bed, but Hanji had known Levi long enough to notice how much he cared for the teen, though she was sure the Corporal would never admit to it. Hanji walked over to the two teens kneeling by the bed, placing a hand on each shoulder. The two needed their rest, after an operation like that even the most trained soldiers would be exhausted. "Come on you two. Let's get you two to bed, I'm sure you're exhausted." Armin glanced over at Mikasa who shook her head.
"We'll stay until he wakes" she answered not even bothering the woman a glance as she reached over to Eren, grabbing his hand tightly. The blonde smiled sadly and stood up before taking her hand off Eren's and helping his friend stand too.
"We won't be any good to Eren when he wakes up if we don't rest. I'm sure if he wakes while we're gone Hanji-San or Levi Heicho will come get us." Hanji nodded and smiled, sighing as she looked at her brother longingly before Mikasa followed Armin and Hanji out the door leaving Levi to pull up a chair next to the bed. Sitting down the Corporal glanced down at Eren, his face softening slightly as he brushed some stray hair gently from the teen's face, before placing his hand down next to the teen's, their hands almost touching.
"Wake up soon Brat." He whispered gently as he watched the gentle rise and fall of his chest. 'Just what did they do to you?' Normally the brat would be awake right now, the only time he slept a lot was when one of Hanji's experiments were more invasive or involved multiple uses of his Titan form. Closing his eyes Levi thought back to how he found his Brat.
***Flashback*** The Levi had finally forced the location of Eren and Historia out of the bastard he was making a bloody mess out of, though he did kick all his teeth out in the end. After regrouping the Scouts had immediately set out to find their kidnapped friends. Levi, Armin and Mikasa heading the front. Finding the complex was relatively easy but there were a lot of men they had to clear out before they could search the ground for their missing comrades. Deciding to split into groups, Mikasa, Connie and Jean clearing out men with their 3DMG, as two groups, one with Armin in the lead shorting down the rest with their rifles. Levi easily cleared his own path killing anyone who stood in his way mercilessly before he spotted his old mentor, Kenny Ackerman. Growling lowly in his throat Levi watched the man flee a sinister grin on his face as few others followed, most likely body guards. Rushing over Levi took the keys off of one guard that was cut in two and moved to free Eren. What he saw shocked him to the core, Levi had seen a lot of torture in his days, being an apprentice to Ackerman insured it, but never before had he seen Eren, the one he thought of as a monster for his unbreakable will, so broken. Chained up like an animal, his arm raised to the sides of his head as shackles and many chains dug into his skin, one arm missing a sleeve almost as if it had been cut off, his chest was just as heavily chained as his arms as well as his legs. Just as the man was unlocking the cell Mikasa and Jean came rushing in. Jean's eyes widened before he started back out of the room intending on letting the others know they had found their friends. "Guys! He found them!" Jean yelled as he ran back to get the others, Levi now working on the several chains that bound Eren. Mikasa started to head over to help with Eren, only to get a glare from Levi. "I've got the brat, get Historia out of here" he growled out before returning to his task. Mikasa glared before she headed over to release the bound blonde. Eren was her brother damn it! She should be the one to get him. Reluctantly she instead helped her unconscious friend. Once free she easily picked up the girl and carried her out to safety. Just as Levi was undoing the last chain Eren opened his eyes and lifted his head with a pained groan. Blinking his bleary eyes Eren looked over at Levi then to the chair Historia was once bound in. "L-Levi H-heic-cho?" His voice was rough and cracked and slightly pained. Levi finally removes the last of the chains as he looked in to tired sea-green colored eyes, gently and affectionately brushing the teen's messy brown hair from his eyes. "Don't talk. It's okay now, I've got you" Levi whispered gently as he took Eren into his arms easily hefting the boy up despite his slightly shorter stature. Eren's head fell limply on the man's shoulder as he tiredly looked up at his savior. "H-Historia?" Levi glanced down at the teen in his arms and shushes him, pulling him closer to his chest protectively. "She's safe, Mikasa has her, you're both safe now" Eren blinked slowly in reply before he nodded off in the Corporal's embrace, for once in a long time truly feeling safe. Levi than carried Eren out, and hoisted him up on his horse before mounting the steed behind him, holding him close to his chest the entire way back to their base. ***End Flash Back***
Opening his eyes once more, Levi glanced down at the brown haired teen and sighed, leaning back in his chair as he crossed his arms over his chest before he fell into a light sleep.
Levi was awoken from his sleep by Eren whimpering, blinking rapidly the Corporal looked down in his bed. Eren was shivering violently, his legs and arms twitching as if he was running in his sleep, his face pinched in fear as he let out heart wrenching whimpers. Frowning Levi leaned down, placing a hand over the brat's forehead. He was clammy. Scowling Levi realized the teen had a fever, getting up from his chair the Corporal headed over to the bathroom to get a cool cloth for the teen. Once he wrung out the excess water Levi entered the room only to see Eren thrashing in his sleep. Rushing over Levi sat on the edge of the bed, placing the rag over the feverish boy's head, hoping it would calm him somewhat. No such luck. Because of Eren's thrashing about the rag fell off. Scowling Levi took a calming breath before taking off his shoes and joining Eren on the bed.
"Damn it brat. Calm down." He whispered to himself as he laid down next to the teen. Eren only whimpered in reply, gulping thickly Levi reached out to Eren and pulled him into his chest. The Titan shifter immediately nuzzling into Levi's chest, his hands coming up to grip at his white shirt as he sought out the comfort Levi was giving. Eyes softening slightly Levi reached up with his free hand, petting Eren's soft chocolate locks in a soothing manner. "It's okay Eren, you're safe now. I've got you, I'm right here." Soon Eren had stopped his shivering, his whimpering dying down and his face softening into a peaceful slumber.
"Levi Heicho" Eren whispered through a sigh, Levi almost didn't catch it because of the soft tone. Eyes widening momentarily Levi looked down at the need cuddling into his chest and smiled slightly before brushing his lips softly over his forehead. Soon Levi had fallen back asleep, Eren snugly in his arms.
The next morning just after the sun rose, Levi woke with Eren still cuddled up into his chest. Briefly the seasoned soldier checked the teen's forehead for the fever he had last night. Breathing a short sigh of relief Levi removed his hand and began to move away from the sleeping brunette, only for said teen to latch onto his shirt tighter and whimper pitifully as Levi tried to leave him. Frowning Levi sighed exasperatedly before settling back into the bed, looking down at Eren's face. Eren face was relaxed, long lashes resting against his pink tinted cheeks, his lips parted slightly as his chest rose and fell gently. 'Why the hell is this brat so damn cute?! Making me feel like a hormonal teenager, shit' Levi thought as he scowled to himself. Sighed dejectedly Levi looked around the room as he cradled Eren to his chest noticing dust starting to form on the ceiling. 'I'll have to clean that after the brat lets me go' Levi thought. As Levi was going over everything that needed cleaning in his room the door opened revealing Hanji, Mikasa and Armin.
When Mikasa walked in she wasn't expecting to see her brother wrapped up in the shorty's arms. Glaring menacingly at the man Mikasa marched over, Armin watching with wide shocked eyes as Hanji snickered and made her own way over. Levi sighed as he turned his head towards his guests, making sure to glare at Hanji, who he was sure would be trying to get him to talk about this later. Just as Mikasa was at the edge of the bed Levi leered at her, his face in a mask if mock boredom.
"Let Eren go, now. Midget" Mikasa said lowly, her voice taking an intimidating tone that would send most people running for the hills, Levi simply returned her glare and let out a puff of air.
"Already tried Ackerman. Every time I pull away from him he clutches me tighter and starts whimpering" the raven haired man looked down at Eren, his eyes showing his fondness for the teen, only Hanji caught the look though. "I'd like to leave and clean this mess of a room but it's impossible with how the brat is now" Mikasa growled lowly in her throat as Armin smiled sadly down at Eren, casting an apologetic glance to the Corporal. Hanji however was leaning against a bookcase, a hand covering her mouth and an arm clutching her stomach as her shoulders shook violently with her stifled laughter. Still glaring at the man holding her brother Mikasa sat down in the chair Levi had placed by the bed last night as Armin sat down on the foot of the bed. After finally getting herself under control Hanji walked over to Levi.
"I'll leave Eren to you then. Once Historia wakes up I'm going to ask her about what happened in that dungeon. Hopefully she'll know something about what they did to Eren, or why they wanted him at least. I'm more interested in who told them about our plan." Hanji said as she put her hand up to her chin, curling her fingers around it in a thoughtful gesture before sighing and turning to leave. "I'll come back letting you know what I've found out." Levi grunted in reply as the scientist left the room.
Armin sighed as he looked over at Eren, who was still sleeping soundly in Levi's arms, then he looked over at Mikasa who was still glaring at the man holding Eren.
"Levi Heicho?" Levi looked down to where Armin was currently sitting, the blonde had his hands folded in his lap as he looked sadly at the teen currently in his own arms.
"What?" Levi replied curtly almost annoyed. Mikasa only glared further at the back of the Corporal's head.
"What do you think they did to him down there? He's never taken this long to recover. Not even when he fought Annie." Armin asked, his voice soft and laced with obvious worry for his friend. Levi looked Dow at Eren and sighed.
"I don't know." Armin looked down at his hands at the reply. "But knowing that bastard Ackerman, it couldn't have been good." Armin and Mikasa's head shot up at the name, the blonde's eyes widening as Mikasa turned her head to the side, glaring at nothing in her anger. "Whatever happened to him, it wasn't good, Ackerman saw the dungeon, most of the blood there had to have been Eren's."
As Levi explained he failed to notice that Eren was staring to wake. 'Warm. It's so warm' the brunette thought. 'Why is it so warm? Am I dead?' Eren's eyes slowly began to open, his vision blurry, at he could see was white. 'Wasn't I chained up?' Blinking slowly his vision started to clear and he realized he was looking at a white shirt clad chest. 'Shirt?' It was then he noticed the cravat. 'L-Levi Heicho?!' Eren's eyes opened a little further in shock, but he was still barely lucid and couldn't move or speak eye. 'Oh yeah. They got us out of there. Right?' Eren blinked slowly again. 'Why is Heicho holding me?' Eren thought, as he slowly but surely began to wake.
"H-Heicho?" Everyone in the room immediately looked over at Eren, Levi looked down, his sliver blue eyes meeting Eren's shimmering blue-green eyes that had specks of gold in them. Eren lifted his head as Levi began to sit up, moving away slightly. Mikasa looked over at her friend, her eyes wide with unshed tears, Armin smiled brightly, tears running down his face, the two then leapt at their friend, Levi being crushed my Mikasa in the process. Armin was in Eren's lap hugging him as Mikasa was leaning on top of Levi, as she crushed both Armin and Eren into her chest.
"I'm so glad you're alright!" She whispered happily, Armin nodding at he agreed whole heartedly. Levi carefully squeezed himself out of the pile of teens before Started to walk away, heading towards the door to tell Hanji the brat woke up. Eren however watched his Captain walk away, wishing for the man to hold him once again. Once Mikasa finally let him go Eren sat up, his friends sitting on the bet with him, unshed happy tears in their eyes.
"How long was I out?" The brunette asked as he cocked his head to the side. Mikasa and Armin glanced at each other before the blonde decided to answer.
"A little over a day. You were gone for over a week Eren" Armin looked down at his hands, as tears ran down his face, his arm coming up to scrub away the tears, Mikasa placed a hand on his shoulder as Eren frowned sadly. "W-we were so worried! It was like you getting eaten all over again!" Smiling gently Eren hugged his childhood friend into his chest, running his hand through blonde locks, hushing his friend like a mother soothing a child, Mikasa walking as she rubbed Armin's back.
"It's okay now. I'm right here. It'll take a lot more than that to put me down. I knew you guys would come for me, that's all I needed to fight." Eren whispered, Armin snuggled a few times before pulling away from his friend smiling, Eren smiling right back at him. "See? I'm here and I'm fine." This was when Hanji burst open the door, Levi waking in calmly behind her.
"Eren!" Hanji jumped on the bed, tacking the teen back into the bed, Armin diving off the bed to avoid the attack and Mikasa watching the older woman wearily. Hanji nuzzled her head into Eren's stomach excitedly, as Levi sat down in the chair next to the bed watching Eren carefully.
"Oi, shitty glasses! Get your dirty ass off my bed, hell the brat just woke up, and he doesn't need you smothering him either" Levi scowled and glared at the scientist. 'Dammit, just when did I get so soft? When did I fall?' He thought ruefully. Hanji sighed before casting a smirk at the Corporal then finally getting off the bed, and standing next to were Levi was sitting. The raven haired man sighed and crossed his arms over his chest, his left leg coming up to rest across his right.
"Eren." Hanji called, the brunette looked up at her, her brown irises glittering questioningly, biting his bottom lip the titian shifter looked down at his hands that were currently placed in his lap. He knew what she was going to ask, knew that everyone in the room wanted to know. Taking a deep breath Eren looked over at Hanji.
"What- what did Historia tell you?" Hanji sighed before crossing her arms over her chest.
"Only what she remembered. Which isn't a lot considering they'd bring her upstairs when you got your 'turn'. She told me you saved her, that you took the brunt of her beatings, saved her from being raped by screaming the every time they tried, that they'd beat you for it before leaving you at night. She told me you told her stories so she could sleep. What did they do to you when she wasn't there?" Mikasa looked over at Eren, her face looking heartbroken, Armin, looked just as sad. Levi however had gotten seemingly angrier than ever, his silver-blue eyes almost taking a red sheen in his anger at Kenny Ackerman. 'When I find him he is dead, I will kill that bastard' Eren took a shaky breath before beginning.
"It wasn't so bad at first, getting slapped around, I would try and keep their focus off of Historia, I knew what kind of thugs they were, they wouldn't hesitate to kill or rape her if the urge came over them. Ackerman liked to talk, about a lot of things." Eren bit his bottom lip pausing to glance over at Levi and Mikasa before looking down at his hands. "No one ever talked about their plans, and whenever they left us they'd blindfold us, sometimes gag us with bits. Whenever Ackerman came he gagged us too." The titian shifter sighed as Armin out a hand in Eren's knee comfortingly. "He started wondering how far he could push me, how far my healing abilities reached. He pulled out my teeth and watched them grow back, cut gashes out of me." Eren closed his eyes as he placed a hand over his eyes as he remembered his time down in the dungeon. "He put me up for display for a while, chained me up as he and a bunch of other people watched. He cut off my arms at one point and he-he fucking ate part of it! He tried cutting himself to see if he'd gained any of my abilities." Eren looked over at Hanji and scowled. "He didn't and then got pissed, out us both back down in the dungeon again after that. The things he did, the 'experiments' he conducted, injecting poison, watching me scream in pain as my body practically destroyed itself then healed after injecting acid, cutting things off me, out of me." Eren shook as he gripped the sides of his head, eyes wide in fear and mental anguish. "It was worse than being eaten by that Titan, they tried killing me later, slitting my throat, stabbing me in the heart, shooting me in the head only of the bullet to be expelled out. No matter what he wouldn't let me pass out, he made sure I felt everything he did to me" Eren started shaking violently, Mikasa reached a hand up to comfort him only for Levi to grab her wrist. Shooting a glare at Levi, Mikasa tried to free herself only for Hanji to put a hand in her shoulder, making the black haired teen look up at her. Hanji shook her head and glanced over at Levi. Mikasa soon looking over at him. Levi was sitting in front of Eren, slowly and gently placing his hands over the brunette's Eren flinched and jerked his head upwards, his fearful green-blue and gold irises gazed into Levi's usual cold but now gentle silver blue eyes. The brunette's breath hitched as Levi moved closer, slowly moving Eren's hands away from his face, cradling the smaller hands in his larger more callused ones.
Hanji was watching the scene, internally fighting with her urge to squeal in delight, she has known for a while at Eren was special to the Lance Corporal, she saw the way he treated him, with a gentleness she had never seen before, not even with his fallen squad members. And now, Levi was showing it, even if it wasn't easy to see what was meant behind his actions, Hanji knew, Levi had fallen for the teen.
Mikasa was internally seething, how dare that midget touch Eren, her Eren, and Armin's Eren. The man had beaten him before, treated him like shit, worked him like a slave and locked him in a dungeon at night once before! The only thing keeping her from slashing him down was Hanji's hand on her shoulder and Armin's hand gripping her wrist.
Armin at some point had grabbed onto Mikasa's arm in nervousness. Right now Eren was having a nervous breakdown from what had happened to him during his capture. Armin was worried, Eren looked scared, the same Eren who when his mother had died glared hatefully at the walls vowing to kill every last Titan out there, the same Eren that had faced down the colossal Titan when everyone else froze in fear, the same Eren who pulled him from a titan's mouth, and even while he was at risk of being eaten showed pure determination and bravery, the very same Eren who faced all odds, who never gave up, who was a beacon of hope to many was scared. But as Armin watched on he began to realize, if someone could help his friend it was Corporal Levi.
Slowly Eren's shaking stopped as he started to relax from Levi's touch, as he started to calm down his cheeks began to turn pink. 'L-Levi Heicho, he's- why?' Levi continued on gazing into Eren's eyes watching the fear melt from his face, 'brat's got some amazing eyes, he's gorgeous. Shit when did I get this sappy?' his body starting to relax too. 'I really did fall for a brat didn't I?' Levi calmly brought on of his hands up to Eren's head, placing it on top of his head, petting the silky brown tresses. Eren began to turn red.
"You're safe now. That bastard will never touch you again. Get it Eren?" The brunette's eyes widened at the use if his name before fat tears formed in the corners of his eyes and spilling over, crying silently. Levi used the hand on Eren's head as leverage to pull his head into his chest. Biting his lip, Eren gripped Levi's shirt before pushing his face into the Corporal's broad chest, crying silently as he let his Captain comfort him. Levi glanced over to the people in his room and glared coldly, silently telling them to get the fuck out as he wrapped his arms around Eren protectively. Mikasa was about to attack, to pry Eren away as Armin quickly catching on to the situation held her back and with the help of Hanji dragged her out. Once alone with Eren, Levi's eyes turned gentle as he pulled him tighter into his chest, one hand wrapped around his lower back and the other running through his feather soft hair. "I will protect you Eren, from everything, everyone if I have to" Levi whispered, his tone gentler than normal. Eren didn't seem to hear him, or he acted like he didn't but Eren did, and it only made the tears fall faster though these where in relief. 'H-Heicho'. It wasn't long before Eren had stopped crying, once Levi was sure the teen's breathing had evened out he pulled away slightly looking down as Eren looked right back up at him.
"H-Heicho thank you" Eren stammers as he blushed as adverted his gaze to the side. Levi sighed before pushing Eren's head back into his chest.
"Call me Levi when we're alone like this okay brat?" Eren nodded hesitantly as his blush deepened. "Eren?" The brunette looked up slightly as his Captain looked down at him, their eyes meeting. 'The brat's blushing, not bad. I have to admit it looks good on him.'
"Yes, L-Levi?" Eren stammered his name cutely.
"They didn't do anything else to you right?" Eren's blush vanished as he looked down at the floor and shook his head.
"Not that I remember." He whispered. "But he asked a lot of questions, about how he could make more of people like me. And it made me think about when Reiner and Bertholdt kidnapped me and Ymir. They were talking, about titans, like they knew something about them." 'I can't tell him everything, L-Levi, he- he was mortified at the prospect of Titans being human, if I told him everything he would only hate himself.' Eren thought sadly. 'In order for a Titan to become human again, they have to eat humans, or another shifter, eat them until they find the right one, and then they become like me, not truly human. Ymir ate Bertholdt and Reiner's friend before she became human. Just who did Bertholdt and Reiner eat? What about me? Did I eat someone? I couldn't have, I remember my child hood, maybe mom or dad was-? Did dad know? And how did humans become titans in the first place?' 'No I ate my dad, didn't I? After Historia and her dad touched me, I remembered. My father he-he made me into this knowing I'd eat him, so why? He was a shifter like me right? At least I think he was, it's a little haze but I think he was, dad wanted me to eat him to make me a shifter like himself.' "L-Levi they talked about a village of people like them, like me" Eren whispered. Levi's eyes narrowed.
"I thought as much" Eren snapped his head up at the statement, looking up at his Captain slightly confused. Levi looked down and held Eren tighter. "They wouldn't have taken you unless they had somewhere to go. They were together, knew about each other. They had to have come from the same place, somewhere outside the walls with others like them." Levi explained. "It's why we were in such a hurry to get you back. If they took you there, we'd have never found you." Levi closed his eyes as his brow furrowed in anger, when he found those two they would pay too, he had no problem taking their lives, they sided with the enemy, they were no better than Titians, he'd let them live though only if Eren wanted them to, they had been friends once after all. Eren started to pull away from Levi, the Lance Corporal felt him trying to get out of his arms he leered down at him, and Eren stiffened in his arms and stopped moving. "Oi shitty brat. What do you think you're doing, ha?" Eren gulped as he blushed and adverted his gaze.
"I-I thought-" Levi cut him off with a sigh.
"Fine then" Levi thrust Eren abruptly from his arms and began to get up. "You don't want to me to comfort you then fine shitty brat. Don't expect it again" Eren's eyes widened, sorrow showing plainly on his face as he looked down at his hands, attempting not to cry. Sighing Levi sat back down, tilted the shifter' head upwards as he gently brushed away the teen's unshed tears. "Oi don't cry about it" Eren closed an eye as he wiped away the tears. 'Too cute for his own good. Just marry me already' Levi thought. Eren looked up at Levi, who still had his face in his hand, staring into his eyes. "Eren, I won't let anything happen to you, that's a promise" Eren blushes as he glanced downwards then back up at the Corporal.
"W-why? I-I'm just, I'm not even human. I'm a monster Levi!" 'How could I be human, after everything that's happened?' Levi scowled, glaring down at Eren as his grip on the teen's chin tightened.
"You are not a monster, not in the way you think. You are a human Eren, just like me or Hanji, even your bratty friends. You may be different and have the ability to turn into a titian, but you will always be a human Eren" Levi smiled slightly, it was small and slightly awkward for the man, but it made Eren blush anyway, for his eyes had become gentle as he gazed down at the teen below him before he leaned up and kissed his forehead lovingly. Eren's eyes widened in shock as he blushed brightly. When Levi pulled away he smirked down at the teen, leaning over to whisper in his ear. "You're mine Eren, you have been since the day I met you, the day you joined the survey corps. You will always be mine Eren." Eren's whole face flushed bright red as Levi pulled away, standing up and starting to walk away over to the door pausing to watch Eren lift his hand to touch his forehead where Levi had kissed him with his fingertips before blushing even brighter if that was possible. "Oi" Eren jumped and looked over to Levi. "You coming or what brat? You have to be hungry, I'm sure they didn't feed you well there" Nodding Eren scrambled out of bed almost falling on his face in the process. Smirking Levi watched as the teen made his way over to him, reaching up Levi grabbed the door knob. "Eren." The teen looked over at Levi.
"Y-yes?" Levi smirked once again and turned to look back over to the brat, his brat.
"Come back here tonight. You'll be sleeping with me again tonight" with that Levi opened to door and left the room leaving a sputtering Eren in his wake. 'Does this mean-?!' Eren's thought was cut off by his Captain. "Oi come on brat!" Blushing brightly Eren smiled as he ran out towards Levi, the slightly smaller man grabbing Eren's hand and giving it a squeeze before letting go and walking ahead. 'I guess it does'.
As Levi walked ahead he smirked triumphantly. 'He's mine now, just you wait Eren. You'll see just how serious I am about this, about you, you're mine now and I'm never letting you go.'
As Levi and Eren headed down to the kitchens to get something to eat, Eren couldn't help but think to himself. 'Heicho said all that stuff, said that I was his and all. What did he mean about it? D-did he mean like us being together, l-like l-lovers?!' Eren's face became hot as he blushed brightly bringing a hand up to his mouth, a knuckle almost touching his lip making him look like the definition on innocence. Levi who noticed Eren had stopped walked turned around to find the teen standing cutely, his face flushed red and beautiful tri-colored eyes wide. The Corporal's eyes widened slightly at the embarrassed expression gracing Eren's features. 'Shit. That brat, how can he look so fucking innocent and ravaging at the same time?!' Levi thought as he walked up to the teen, who was still too lost in thought to notice. Once standing in front of Eren, Levi reached up a hand, gently placing it on the teen's cheek. The soft touch made Eren's eyes widened further as he looked over at his Captain confused, still blushing brightly. Levi almost groaned in arousal at the look the teen had given him. 'Damn it, just marry me now.' Smirking slightly Levi moved his hand that was on the teen's cheek to the back of his head, running his fingers thought the silky chocolate locks before leaning in closely, their lips brushing together gently. Eren's face flushed brighter as his eyes slowly closed and leaned into the kiss, his hands moving to rest on Levi's rock hard chest. Smirking mentally Levi brought his other hand around Eren's waist, pulling him closer as he began to slowly and gently move his lips against Eren's petal soft ones. Eren quickly melted into the kiss, as Levi began to push harder, moving his lips more passionately, deepening the kiss. When Eren started to sag in his grip Levi began to pull away, anymore and his little brat might lose all strength and fall. Not that Levi would object to carrying the teen to the kitchens, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Eren and his sister, at least not yet when he just woke up and calmed down. Eren sighed as their lips disconnected, his eyes fluttering open, smirking Levi then grabbed Eren's hand, entwining their fingers before leading Eren towards their destination.
After embarrassing the hell out of his cute little brat Levi lead them into the kitchens were Hanji and the others waited, even Erwin who was looking pretty shaken up. Who wouldn't when you were just barely saved from being executed by the people you fought so hard to protect? Let alone watching as the higher ups tried to save their own asses and sacrifice half of the human population. Erwin was sitting at the head of the table, Hanji on his left and Mike on his right. The rest of the table was filled with Eren's friends. The rest of the corps were out doing their assigned duties for the day, having been cleared of all charges let them roam the grounds freely without the fear of getting caught, though they were still wary, after being turned on like that the corps wanted to keep to themselves.
Levi walked calmly over the other end of the table across from Erwin, Eren's hand still In His own as he dragged the teen over to sit next to him. The Titan shifter was still blushing lightly as everyone watched him, placing his hands In His lap Eren looked down at the table. This was when Erwin spoke.
"I'm sure you're all wondering how we were able to free the survey corps from suspicion." Everyone but Levi and Eren nodded and looked over at the blonde man. Levi simply crossed his arms over his chest as Eren looked up. Erwin sighed and placed his arm on the table. "General Pixis and I had set up a hoax, by suppressing the Military Police and reporting a false breech in wall rose we snuffed out the ones who framed out faction. The higher ups, the ones who were sentencing me to death in an attempt to save themselves tried permanently close the walls, leaving half of the human population to die. After later finding out it was them who had framed us and set us up, Pixis declared the MP insufficient, starting a rebellion across the ranks. Now that the MP is suppressed we can move freely, but now more than ever we will be in danger. We started a revelation within the walls" Eren's eyes widened in shock as he looked over at his friends all sharing equal looks of shock, turning to Levi, the brunette found the man looking slightly shocked at the news.
