A/N: 5 year difference between Levi and Eren

Levi sighed as he looked at the teen beside him; it never clicked as to why he would stay with him. He was a fuck up, and after all this time, the teen still wanted him. Levi brought his hand up, brushing some hair out of the brunet's forehead.

"Eren…" the name fell from his lips, the brunet stirred, mumbling something incoherently, and curled closer into the shorter male. He didn't deserve Eren, not after what he put the kid through, though he would never admit it to the hard headed teen. Eren whimpered, and rolled over, this made Levi laugh quietly, bringing him back to the first time he met Eren.

*Flashback*

It was like any normal day for a 5 year old, Go to school, come home, have a snack, and go out to play on the playground. That was until Levi walked through the Yeager household, changing his life entirely. His mom had told him that a close friend of them had a baby just a few months old, and of course his curiosity had gotten the better of him and he wanted to see.

Levi looked over the crib at the baby cooing happily, without a care in the world the raven looked the baby over. Noticing his brown hair, but the thing that drew Levi in the most were his bright teal eyes, the baby looked stopped and looked into the steel gray eyes of Levi and laughed happily. The child sat perplexed as he tried to think of the baby's name, for he was told once but probably wasn't paying attention. 'Eric, no Emil, Eren? Yeah that's it Eren.'

"Eren…" the name suited the child perfectly, the way it fell from his lips felt weird, but in due time he would get used to it.

"Eren Yeager." He said once more and this time, Eren responded by cooing and reaching his hand out to Levi. Little did Levi know; that name would follow him for the rest of his life?

*Flashback Ends*

Levi glared at the still sleep brunet.

"Shitty brat." He mumbled under his breath and wrapped his arm around Eren's waist. He looked the teen's face over, eyes unwavering. If people were to ever see Eren the way Levi did, they would think the teen was younger and Levi was some kind of pedophile. The kid had always had a baby face, but looked older than he was supposed to be. Levi's eyes traveled lower, and stopped at Eren's lips, they were slightly parted and the swelling had gone down some, not by much, the thought of it took him back to their first kiss.

Before he had known it time flew by, and Levi was 12 and Eren 7. The kid had become hot headed, and stubborn, getting into fights with other kids. But the thing that pissed Levi off was that the kid was almost as tall as him.

It was a normal day par usual; Levi was at Eren's house hanging out with the kid, or in his case babysitting the brat as he put it. They had just returned from the park, and Eren had ran off to go play with his best friend Armin, that was until he came home due to the blond having to leave to go somewhere with his grandfather, the brunet came running in overly excited about something.

"Levi! Levi!" He called the pre teen's name repeatedly until the 12 year old pulled his ear buds out and looked at the kid.

"No need to be so loud I'm right here. No what is it?" He looked bored, steel gray eyes boring into those of excited teal ones.

"I have a question?" Eren by this point had climbed onto the bed with Levi, leaning in a little too close for his own good. This caused the older male to back up some.

"Might as well, what is it?" Levi stared at Eren, noticing he had become quiet and flustered.

"H-Have you e-ever…" Eren swallowed thickly, the intense gaze made it feel like Levi was burning a hole into him, his blush spreading even more.

"Have I ever, what?" Raising a brow at the sudden question, whatever the question was, and it was enough to make Eren this flustered and shy, it had better be a good reason to bother the said boy.

"Haveyoueverkissedanybody?" The 7 year old clenched his eyes shut awaiting a hit, but it never came he opened his eyes to see Levi still staring at him, but a slightly amused. Levi unfolded his arms, and sat up straight, the blush that had settled onto his cheeks made the kid look plain right adorable, although he would never admit it.

"Where did you hear that?" Eren's eyes widened 'so it's true!'

"I see mom and dad do it sometime…but on my way home I saw two teenagers do it…but they were using their tongues." Levi saw the boy shudder, this had to stop now before it got out of hand.

"Will you kiss me?"

'Shit!' Levi pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.

"To answer your first question, yes I have. And second no, I will not kiss you."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please, I won't ask for anything else again."

"We both know that's a bold faced lie, so. No."

"No one will have to know."

'This kid…'

"What part of no don't you understand?"

"Come on, just one little peck, on the cheek?"

Levi knew this wasn't going to get him anywhere, so he just threw in the towel and agreed. Eren giggled happily that he had won the battle. Turning his head to the side in eagerness, Eren waited patiently. Levi bent down and pressed his lips to the smooth cheek, and just then Eren turned his head to the side and their lips met, seeing Levi hadn't pulled away Eren pressed harder, resting his hands on the bed for support, the older male used his free hand to cup Eren's face deepening the kiss and the other pinning the brunet to the bed by his wrist, gently nipping at Eren's bottom lip.

Eren whimpered, confused at what Levi was getting at, but this time after a second nip he opened his mouth obediently and felt the slick muscle slip in, the brunet gasped followed by a small moan, catching on quickly he pushed his tongue back against Levi's before pulling away. The raven let go of Eren and sat up, noticing a heavy blush on his cheeks, getting up the pre teen turned away from the slightly panting boy.

"Not bad." Licking his lips and opened the door, Eren watched the shorter male walk out little did he know sporting the same color on his cheeks as he did.

The following year Levi had took a turn for the worse and gotten himself into trouble, after his mother had passed away due to cancer and his father leaving them before he was even born. Levi decided he wasn't going to go to an orphanage, so he left. Eren's family offered to take him in, saying he's family, but no, Levi wanted to do what Levi wanted to do.

And the following year tragedy struck the Yeager household, and he should have been there for them, if only he hadn't been stupid and reckless, getting himself into more trouble than he had already been in.

A/N: Levi 16, Eren 11

The teen sighed as he put out another cigarette, looking at the pile of syringes on the table waiting to be injected into his bloodstream. He was trying his hardest to kick this addiction, it was tempting…he sat there fighting with himself before temptation won over.

Meanwhile…

It had just been a month since his mother passed, and not even week later their father had disappeared. Leaving Mikasa and Eren to fend for themselves, luckily their best friend Armin and his grandfather had taken them in for a while. Times were rough, but they pulled through. Eventually they moved out and not long after Armin's grandfather had passed away, Mikasa began to work to help put her and Eren through high school, things were fine until Eren had gotten a phone call from Levi.

"Levi?"

"E-Eren…come over."

"I-I don't know?" Eren looked over into the living room to see Mikasa reading a book and headed to his room quickly, to prevent any suspicion from the oriental girl.

"I really need this, so come over?

"O-Okay, I'll be over in a few minutes."

A/N: Levi 20 Eren 15

Eren had told Mikasa that he was spending the night by friend's house, before she could say anything Eren was out the door and already walking towards Levi's house. By the time he had made it up the steps, Eren heard something break and a string of profanities fill the house, he grew worried, knowing Levi wouldn't break something unless it was really serious.

Eren opened the door to see an end table flipped over along with a broken vase, the pieces scattered. But what he saw scared him the most, Levi was in a corner of the living room a needle mere inches from breaking the skin and entering his bloodstream.

The teen without realizing it, had tossed the needle aside and now found himself punching his long time childhood friend. Before finally giving in, Eren clung to the older male sobbing.

"How the hell could you let yourself go this far?" Eren looked up into those dull steel gray eyes of Levi, who just stared at him.

"You're an inconsiderate asshole you know that?" Eren sighed as he tossed out the last garbage bag, just as Levi had just gotten out of the shower; the teen looked at his phone to see several missed calls and 10 messages from his sister. Cutting his phone off and promised to call her back later, and so the wait began.

: 3

Levi remembered those few days Eren was with him, the teen stayed by him. No matter how many times he threatened to kill Eren or hit him, or actually punching the living shit out of the said teen. Eren stayed until he decided to go to rehab and get help, and shortly afterwards he left America to stay with a friend overseas, never saying who it was.

The two kept stayed in contact for a while, sending emails, letters, and on the occasional, a call. Eren had told Levi that he was gay and how he was picked on for it, and in return Levi sent a letter saying that he didn't give two flying shits if Eren was a completely different species he was still human and shouldn't be ridiculed just because he's into the same sex, and if he ever saw the little fuckers he'd beat the shit out of them. Eren laughed at this and replied saying that it cheered him up knowing that Levi didn't care if he was gay or not, and followed up saying that he dated this one guy named Jean, but left him for their friend Marco. Their break up left Eren out of it for a while because he was his first. It took a while for Levi to reply back but the older male said that Jean was an idiot for leaving Eren and Eren was an idiot for giving himself up so easily.

Three years later, in his final letter Levi had told Eren he was coming back from overseas, which in return Eren told his friends, which left them puzzled as they assumed that this 'Levi' guy was Eren's boyfriend or something of close relation seeing how Eren almost talked about him every day. Mikasa wasn't happy about it, but if it made Eren happy then she was happy, and Armin was kind of skeptical but went with it.

The party had died down and eventually a few of Eren's friends were left, who found the two making out in a corner, Levi cursed them out and dragged Eren out of the bar taking a cab to his flat. Confessions were said, one thing led to another, which led them to their current relationship now.

(^o^)

Eren shifted and brought his hand up clutching the pillow as if his life depended on it, a silver band adorning his ring finger; Levi stared at the ring and looked at his hand a matching band on his.

He was a fuck up and he knew it, the question remained as to why Eren stayed with him considering the fact that he dragged the kid through hell and back, or maybe it was because of that reason exactly. Levi knew better than to say anything about it, seeing the last time he did, Eren flipped shit and told him the reason behind everything. The older male had to admit, Eren had it in for him, and never would he have thought to be married to Eren, after all this time from meeting Eren when he was a baby, to now. With a sigh, Levi pressed a kiss to Eren's forehead and rolled over.

"I love you, you little shit." And on immediate response, Eren spooned Levi and buried his face into Levi's back it was muffled but it was still heard.

"I love you too, asshole."
