I don't own SnK or anything mentioned.

The fluorescent moon shone above, dark, puffy clouds surrounding the full moon allowing only traces of the deep blue sky above to be seen. The night was chilly, cold enough to make one repeatedly shiver, and it was dreary and dark outside.

From beyond a dirty window, two boys stared out at the moon, both seemingly broken physically and mentally, the light in their eyes were long, long gone. They were gone so long ago, it seemed as if they never existed. Just like the boys themselves.

The brunette with a tattered, olive-brown shirt stared up at the bright moon, his eyes a dark, lush, forest green color. He wore an old pair of shorts and simply sat beside a black haired male on the bed they've shared since they were children. The brunette was noticeably tan.

The dark haired male wore a pristine, white, long sleeved, button-up shirt with olive colored shorts as his silver eyes grew fond of the shining moon, the moonlight dripped onto his hair and body, illuminating his snow-white skin.

Both boys have been separated from society ever since the brunette's mother died along with the dark haired male's family. They've never gotten the chance to know the outside world very well. Technology was scarce in their house, the only traces of technology they owned being a house hold phone which they were never allowed to touch- and a TV, which they barely had any time to watch on. They were both always busy. Busy, busy, busy- doing what?

They were forced to clean the house daily. The brunette, being forced to cook whilst the other did the laundry. They were cleaning things they've never used before. Cleaning things only the brunette's father, Grisha Jaeger, used. Grisha, after Carla Jaeger's death, was a scary, dark man who was addicted to drugs, drug dealing and buying women, never caring for his son and his son's best friend, Levi, whom he had decided to keep captive of. Whenever visitors or prostitutes came by, Eren and Levi were unwillingly supposed to hide them, for if they hadn't, Grisha would punish them.

Levi did not get hit upon living his past seven years in this hell hole. He was obedient.

Eren was not.

Eren Jaeger, the son of Carla and Grisha Jaeger, was a rebel: doing things that would only make him get hurt despite the fact Levi tried to force things upon him.

Eren would always find needles scattered, spilling all across his father's room which held the heavy scent of sex and putrid liquids. Needles, pills of all kinds- they weren't uncommon to Levi and Eren anymore. They'd become a daily thing to see.

As clouds passed by the Jaeger's residence, Eren smiled.

"Look, Levi," He pointed out at the window, seemingly at the moon, which was slowly becoming covered, a hopeful smile on his face, "I wonder if one day... we can reach that."

"What?" Levi shifted his eyes to look at Eren, "The moon?" He scoffed, "I doubt it. We'd need money to get there."

"No, Levi," Eren shook his head, "not that. Outside," His voice was soft. It always was when he was alone with Levi. A tone he never used when he talked back to his father, earning him a hard slap on the face or a beating which would send him asleep for the least of five hours and the maximum of two days. "I think we can do it, one day... Reach out to the outside world, I mean..." He continued on, leaning his head onto Levi's shoulder.

"I don't think we can," Levi continued to look up at the window, shifting his gaze back to the window, "I know we can."

Eren grinned, "We should really make a plan that can't ever fail, Levi. All these times we've tried to escape... I remember all of them. First, when we tried to get to the phone to call that '911' thing which only resulted to.. what? No food for two days, was it?" He looked over at Levi to see if his memory was correct.

Levi nodded, "Then after that, we tried to get out through the window, and now, the outside is fenced of with barbed wire, and then the last one almost worked... When we bought a prostitute for him and we tried to sneak out the door while he had... 'fun' with her. That only ended up badly because he left the alarm on, though..."

"I wish I knew the password to unlock it," Eren bit his lip, "then we could be... free."

Free.

The word which fell unfamiliar to their lips and mind: something they'd forgotten about.

"Yeah," Levi sounded breathless as the clouds covered the moon, their only source of light.

The fifteen year old boys continued to take in deep breaths, calming their senses.

"We should get out tomorrow," Eren began.

Levi looked at him, "No, no," he quickly denied, "that's not going to happen. We've failed so many times already- and this time, if we fail again, we could..." he choked, "die."

"It could work, Levi," Eren's eyes shimmered, "you never know. Let's keep this plan simple..." He twisted his whole body so he could look at Levi straight in the eye.

Levi copied him.

"After lunch, find the password while your cleaning his room, Levi," Eren's eyes were filled with hope, "I'll get him drunk- it should be easy, since he's a light weight. I hope you don't mind if you do most of the dirty work," Eren shot him an apologetic look.

Levi only nodded, telling Eren that he was fine with this.

"The password should be somewhere- maybe the old man is dumb enough to leave it behind mom's picture again. Take all the money you could find. Get out of there and help me beat him up until he knocked out when he's sitting on the couch after lunch like always. We put in the password in the device attached to the wall, and we leave!" Eren sounded overly enthusiastic about his plan. "We can knock him out with a pan," He added on, in case Levi was wondering.

"I..." Levi slowly began, "don't think it'll work," he admitted.

"What?" Eren sounded slightly annoyed, "Why?"

"There are many flaws to that plan, Jaeger," Levi whispered.

Eren looked down, looking crestfallen for a moment. He picked up all his wisdom and shook Levi using Levi's shoulders, "Please," Eren shot him a sad smile, "this can be our last try... I just," He bit his lip, "I just... want to see the world. I want to see these 'oceans', to see these fruits called mangoes and dragon fruit! There are so many thing I want to learn about, Levi," He huffed, "and I want to see and taste them all with you..."

Levi looked away, pondering for a moment before sighing, "Fine. This will be the last time, promise?"

Eren nodded, a grin on his face, "Yeah!"

Welp.
The story begins rather quickly but whatevs.
