Hello,guys. Hope you like this Ereri (or Rivere? I really don't care who tops). Pretty odd that I wrote it, considering I don't ship the two. Well, I like reading fics of things I don't ship, so hey. It's 1:20 am over here and I did not beta this. Sorry for grammatical errors. Hope you like! Now to get to bed...

Levi looked back, a mixture of longing and regret in his cobalt eyes. Eren slept soundly on the bed, his mouth hanging open slightly. He really did look cute, with his full, dark lashes and rosy cheeks. Levi had to resist the urge to kiss him. He was just so damn adorable.

Eren shifted, muttering something incoherent, and the Corporal froze, the teen's peaceful expression sending daggers through his heart. Did he know how easily the boy affected him? Of course not. The brat would never know.

Its better this way. No attachments, remember?

Damn it to hell. I can't do this.

I….

still…

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Levi stood up,eyebrows scrunching slightly. A soft moan coming from the edge of the bed brought him out of his thoughts.

Shit. It seemed like Eren had woken up, and none to gently by the sound of it. Without a second glance at the dazed teen, he dashed out of the room.

Mmmm..

What's happening?

Levi…

Levi.

Eren blinked, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. What was the dream again? He forgot… ah!

cobalt eyes bored into him, laced with regret. Why was he looking at him like that? Did he do something wrong? Levi said he'd punish him later, was that it? Eren thought about last night, and it was far from punishing. But…. there was some emotion holding him back, he could see it swimming in his eyes. And then…. he left suddenly. It was his fault, Eren knew that. His fault for involving him in this mess. After all, soldiers aren't supposed to love.

Heichou.

He could still smell his clean scent on the sheets.

How did this happen? What turned the situation around?

Deep in his cell, Eren shivered. He had been ordered down here, and when, puzzled, he asked what was happening, he was forcibly restrained by the guards. That was three days ago. No food, just water. A bed made of straw. These were the conditions in which he endured. Dully, he wondered where Corporal went. Eren saw him, as he was being taken away. A flash of pity in his stone eyes...and then, anger?

It's probably me he's angry at. After all, I acted like that…

The night before

"Heichou?" He had come in unexpectedly. One minute, Eren had been sitting on the bed, wondering about human existence, the next, he had come in. He closed the door silently, an unfathomable look on his face. A strange glint in once expressionless eyes-lust? It couldn't be… who would lust after him, a freak, a monster? Inadvertently, the boy backed away, his mind screaming, Levi slowly moving in. Closer. Closer.

What is he doing?!

Eren could now feel Levi's hot breath tickling his shoulder. It seemed he was in a daze, muttering feverishly.

He must be sick… that would explain his weird actions.

He gasped suddenly, feeling the soft,cool lips of his superior on his shoulder. All thoughts left his brain as Levi started to brush his lips back and forth against his skin. A quiet moan escaped him as the elder bit down gently, licking the slightly irritated mark.

Mmmmmm…. Eren shifted slightly,enjoying the feeling, eyes fluttering. His hand searched for the strong males' chest,closing in when he felt it. Thump. Tha-Thump. There it was. The affirmation. Levi was real, alive. He was here, now. This was really happening.

"Eren?"

"Levi?" Eren said, voice muffled due to the fabric. Reluctantly, he pulled away from Levi, viridescent eyes wide. He had smelled nice, like clean sheets and soap.

"How are you?" Levi questioned, voice unexpectedly gentle. He had pulled away, face directed to Eren.

"Um, sir…" A light pink dusted the younger's cheeks. "To be honest, a little surprised…."

"Oh, really?" An eyebrow raised.

"Y-yes," Eren admitted, eyes downcast. "I thought that before…. it was a one time thing. But," he continued, voice wavering slightly, "That's changed, right?"

"Eren." Levi put a hand on his shoulder, reassuring. Eren flinched slightly, but he ignored that.

"It was never a one time thing. I've always lov-... before, it was complicated. I hope you understand."

"Yes, of course, heichou." Eren looked up, hope welling inside him. Did Levi almost confess to loving him? He didn't,hesitating at the last moment,but still. He almost did.

"Eren, you know there's no need for formalities."

"I know that, I just like calling you that. You're my heichou, after all."

"Don't forget that, brat." His eyes softened though, proof of how much the boy really was affecting him.

"Speaking of," Eren piped up, "Was there something you wanted?"

Levi moved back in, dangerously close. "Oh yes," he huskily whispered in Eren's ear, the younger now crimson. "You know perfectly well what," he finished before moving to capture his lips against the adolescents'.

"We should..stop.."

Levi, currently nibbling on Eren's ear, turned to look at him, eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Look, I'm not saying I'm not enjoying this"-clearly true, as Eren was rather audible with his delight in Levi's actions. "But, we really should get some sleep."

"I don't need sleep. All I need is you." Levi had started to move back in, eyes hungrily fixated.

"Look," Eren put a finger to Levi's lips, shushing him, trying to hide the growing blush spreading through his cheeks. "You have bags under your eyes. We wouldn't want humanity's strongest injuring himself due to lack of sleep, would we?"

"No…"

"Then get some rest. You can still stay here."

Levi's eyes brightened a little at that. "Alright...we're done for now... brat" he ended affectionately, before motioning to turn off the lights.

"Night."

"...Night, Corporal."
