Authors Note: Well hello there! This is my first try at a AOT story. I've been wanting to write one for a while now and the idea for this one came to mind. I hope you guys enjoy and I apologize for the short length! If you do perhaps enjoy this, please review and tell me what you think!

Levi is 18 and Eren is 15. I decided to let there be a three year gap between them. Also, Mikasa and Levi will be related in here! Also, I may have changed up their personalities a little bit, but really drastic changes have been made.

Tender Care

Chapter 1


Levi looked at his father, his eyes like cold, steal darts. His dad paid no attention to the glare he was receiving from his son as he sighed in his seat.

"Levi, I honestly don't want to do this, but you leave me with no choice. You keep fighting with groups of people and most of the time someone gets hurt and has to be rushed to the hospital...

I keep getting complaints from all these parents and I just can't take it anymore. I'm sending you to a old friend of mine. After speaking to him and asking him for advice on the situation he has told me to just send you there. You'll be looking after his son as a form of punishment"

Levi's glare only intensified as his dad finished explaining. "I don't fight on purpose. You know those bastards all look for trouble with me. This isn't fair. Why do I have to look after some little brat?"

"You don't need to know my reasons behind why I'm sending you there and why you're looking after some 'brat'. All you need to do is obey what I say and stop complaining. You leave in a week and that's that. Go pack and say goodbye to all your friends"

"I can't believe you" he hissed out before walking out his fathers study and walking upstairs to his own room.

He couldn't believe that his own father was sending him off to some stranger, well he was a stranger to Levi, to look after some brat that would probably annoy Levi so much that he'd probably break the kids neck or something.

He didn't want to go. Not at all, but it seemed that he had no choice.

He plopped himself onto his bed and stared up at his ceiling, sighing out. It wasn't like he wanted to fight with people. In actual fact he never even really fought with them.

Each time he was 'fighting' with someone he was doing it out of self-defense. Never once has he laid his hand on someone first, but when they lay there's on him it seems only fair that he do the same.

Of course, the adults never believed him or his friends when they said that it was out of self-defense, even though it wasn't entirely protecting himself.

He heard a knock, forcing his gaze towards his door. He sighed out. "Come in" he said. His door opened slightly and a head popped through the small gap.

"Oneesan? Why are you still in your room? What happened to our movie night?" His little sister asked as she opened the door more and entered his room, walking over to his bed and sitting next to him, a pout on her face.

"What's wrong? You feeling sick?" She asked, her tone filled with worry. "Neh, you know, if you feeling sick you should tell me! I'll make you some chicken soup" she said as she smiled down at her big brother.

Levi sighed. "I guess father hasn't told you yet... Then again I just found out myself so I doubt he did" he muttered under his breath, propelling himself on his elbows, looking up at his younger sister who now had a confused look on he face.

"Oneesan... What are you talking about?" She asked, "what hasn't father told me?"

"Mikasa... Dad is sending me away" he watched as her dark eyes widened. "W-what? No... Dad can't possibly be sending you away..." She stuttered out.

"He is. I suppose its something that he thinks will be good for me and for him. After all, the only thing I do is get into trouble and cause him stress. Maybe this will be a good break for the both of us"

Mikasa just stared at her brother, wide eyed. "But... This is your home... He can't just toss you aside..."

"No. He isn't tossing me aside. I'm getting punished for all the problems I've caused. I suppose he wants me to learn a lesson, but I don't really see how looking after some kid will do that"

"Eh? Looking after some kid? Is that why he is sending you away? To look after some persons kid? That's not fair... Why can't you just look after me instead?" She asked, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Mikasa... It doesn't work that way. You are my sister. There's a difference between looking after you and someone else's kid. There's responsibility in both, but when you have to look after another life that isn't part of your own family the responsibility is much more...

I'm not going to question fathers decision. I'm just going to obey and get this punishment over and done with"

Mikasa threw herself at her brother, hugging him tightly. "I don't want you to leave... But I guess I can't change dads mind or your willingness to go through with this. I'm gonna miss you, oneesan!" She said as she cried into his shirt, her grip around him tightening.

"I'll miss you as well" the black haired teen said as he wrapped his own arms around his sister, a soft smile gracing his lips.

"Let's go watch our movie"


"Eren!" A brunette haired boy heard his dad shout for him. He groaned before getting out his bed and walking towards his bedroom door. "Eren!"

"I'm coming!" He shouted as he ran down the stairs of his house and into the kitchen where his dad was seated, a newspaper in hand"What is it?" He asked, sitting down at the large dining table.

"Next week I'm going off on a five month trip. They have requested me there to help with a couple of things. I have arranged for someone to look after you while I'm gone, so please behave yourself" his father said.

Eren grinned up at his dad. "A new baby sitter, huh? Sure, I'll be on my best behavior" he said his grin widening.

His dad stared at his son. He knew that the kid was probably not going to be on his best behavior, after all that evil grin was a dead give-away. But he supposed it was okay. After all the person looking after his son needed to be punished, and looking after his son was the best way to do it.

He wished his old friends son luck because with Eren, he would be needing all the luck he could get.
