A simple flinch sent the trained man into a sense of guilt. It didn't get expressed in his features, and with a simple crossing of his legs, his voice filled the air.

"Hey Eren, do you hate me?"

It caught Eren by surprise, "No, I know it was necessary. It got the point across and…well now I'm alive."

The teen gave Levi a determined look and the Corporal gave a small nod before focusing his attention on the wall across from the couch they were sitting on. Hanji was dabbing at Eren's wounds, and Levi was brought back to focus when she exclaimed excitedly, "Oh! You lost your tooth! See? I have it right here!"

Levi frowned at the slightly bloodied tooth in her hand sitting delicately on white cloth, "That is disgusting, that thing must be filthy."

Zoe frowned, "Eren open your mouth. Oh my…it's already grown back!"

Eren sat with his mouth wide open and even Levi was curious to see if it really had grown back. The Corporal flicked his eyes over quickly and the tooth was, indeed, there. A flush had started to dance on the teen's features with everyone staring at him, bewildered about the discovery. Eren snapped his mouth shut before Zoe stuck her finger in and poke at it. The scientist pulled her hand back quickly with an upset expression, "Aw, you're no fun," A smile quickly danced across her face, "I look forward to experimenting on you!"

"What!?"

Eren suddenly became panicked and looked at Levi, "Corporal?"

The shorter man simply shrugged, "Why are you looking at me you brat? I'm not gonna help you get out her grip."

Levi hardly liked to interfere with Hanji's experiments simply because he had a sense of dread of how messy it would be if he got involved. If there was one thing he disliked more than titans, it was dirt. The corporal shifted on the couch he shared with Eren, and pushed himself up. He stretched slightly, "Get rested up, Yeager, for tomorrow we have somewhere to be."

With that he left, Erwin followed behind shortly and Eren was left confused. Where was he supposed to stay? He glanced at Zoe who gave him a look that said, 'Sorry'. Eren groaned, he was going to have to sleep in that pathetic cell for another night.

When Eren made it back to the cell, his thoughts were jumbled. So much had happened during the day. Though now he was going to have to prove himself capable in the eyes of many. On top of that, he was put under the stern watch of Corporal Levi. The thought brought him excitement and fear. The man was short but housed a lot of power. Enough to kick out one of his teeth and still leave marks on his cheeks, and to think he got beat by one of his heroes.

Eren sighed as his back hit the mattress, and sleep came quickly. He was thankful for it, despite being cooped up the last few days he was worn out from what had happened in the court room.

"…ren! Eren! Get up you lazy brat!"

The brunet jolted up, barely missing Levi's head with his own. The Corporal frowned and crossed his arms over his chest. Eren blinked a couple of times before rubbing his eyes and focusing on the Corporal with a dazed expression. "Corporal?"

The shorter man gave him a blank stare, "You've been sleeping for a while, we need to get going. I can't believe someone can sleep for so long," Levi sighed massaging his temples for a short period, "You are certainly something different."

The teen looked down, embarrassed by the statement. Though it seemed that the Corporal was going to take his job seriously in making sure Eren didn't fuck up. Levi glared down at Eren, who was still sitting in his bed. "Are you just going to sit there? Go wash yourself and then come find me. We have things to do."

Eren blinked and recalled the Corporal saying something like that yesterday. Though he had yet to really find out what was really meant by it. Before he could ask Levi was already making his way out of the dungeon the teen was being kept in. He released an irritated sigh before pushing himself out of the bed to go a clean himself, curious for what was in store for him.

"You want me to do what?"

Levi pulled the scarf that was covering the lower half of his face, "Did I stutter you shitty brat? I want you to clean."

The Scouting Legion had just arrived to a castle that had been covered in dust on the inside. Eren got to experience the Corporal almost have a melt down at the mess and the short man had moved quickly to start cleaning. Soon he ended dragging everyone into the fiasco except for Hanji who seemed to disappear before anything happened.

Eren sighed and clenched the white rag in his hand as the Corporal opened one of the windows. It was strange to see Levi act in such away, but not everyone was perfect. "This is ridiculous." Eren soon regretted the words for he soon found himself getting yanked down by his shirt, coming face to face with his leader.

He didn't know how to react to the sudden closeness and blushed. Levi's grey eyes looked intently into Eren's green ones. "Listen hear you little shit, if it is so ridiculous why don't you go live outside hmm? That's were filthy animals live, and that can easily become your life style. Now, I think I made myself clear. Don't you?"

"Y-yes sir!"

Levi smirked slightly, "Good."

He released the teen and Eren quickly went to doing the chore he was given. Levi gave an amused smile before quickly dropping it and heading out of the room before bumping into Erwin. "I saw that smile, Corporal. Be nice to the poor boy, will ya?"

Levi glared up at the blond and Erwin just returned a smile before allowing the shorter male to pass. Erwin's gaze then flicked to Eren, curious to what Levi found so amusing about the punk. Of course he could shift into a titan, but that was beside the point.

There had to be something more.
