A/N: Hello, darling readers. Ritsy here, with an all new fanfic. Now, before you say anything, yes, yes, I know I suck. I should just finish the other stories that I have going before making any more. But I was just feeling inspired, and I really want to do a Shingeki no Kyojin fanfic. This is going to be Ereri/Riren, my OTP. I may throw in a little side Ermin/Arwin, because I enjoy that ship almost as much as I do my OTP. This will may have a few spoilers, and while it follows the basic storyline, it's more of a spin-off. If ever a chapter contains a spoiler, I will always give warning before the chapter begins. Warnings will be put beneath the A/N, and will come in an array: gore, implied violence, violence, fluff, smut, lemons. I will give you fair warning of anything that may insult your delicate sensibilities. The events that happen in the manga/anime may or may not occur in this fanfic. It will contain some major plot points, such as character deaths, to help thicken the plot of this story. With this, I am merely testing the waters, it's more of a prologue than a chapter. It's an opening to what the story will be about; a relationship forming between Eren and Levi, and Mikasa doing anything that she can to stop it. So, read this and leave me your thoughts in reviews, please. This is BL, so if you don't like yaoi, do not read. I appreciate constructive criticism (do not veil your insults as "constructive criticism", please. It greatly offends me when all you have to say is what YOU think is wrong with the story line, and offer no help otherwise), so do please review. Also, sorry for this long ass author's note.

Prologue
It was often said that Mikasa Ackerman did not like Lance Corporal Rivaille. She would oft be spotted shooting steely-eyed glares at the Corporal whenever they happened to be in the vicinity of one another. Mikasa was generally soft-spoken, and nary a curse would slip past her petal pink lips, unless she were speaking ill of Rivaille; a sailor would blush at all the expletives she used colorfully to insult her higher up. Yes, it could be said that Mikasa disliked very much the Lance Corporal, but she was not one to sugar-coat bullshit and call it candy. To say that she hated the man would be an absolute understatement. The black-haired beauty despised-no, thoroughly, unquestionably, positively loathed-that midget with every fiber of her being. She was not the type to wish death upon a person, but if a Titan just so happened to catch hold of Rivaille and squeeze him a little to tightly within its fist, well... she would be a manically happy person. I would dance on that bastard's corpse, she found herself thinking with absolute disgust.
Her hate was not unwarranted, mind you. It stemmed from the moment he dared to lay a single finger on her precious Eren; if Armin had not been holding her back as Rivaille beat the everloving shit out of her brother, she would have killed him. In front of the Scout Regiment, Military Police, and all civilians present in the courtroom, Mikasa would have happily been the cause of the Lance Corporal's demise. She would have been put to death with a smile on her face, not regretting a single thing. But, luckily for her, Armin was surprisingly strong enough to stop her from acting out in her boiling rage. Later, she had thanked him, a little forcefully, but thanked him nonetheless, for holding her back. It would do Eren no good for her to throw her life away; she had to be around to protect him. This was not the only reason that Mikasa detested Rivaille; no, her abhorance of him grew deeper each day, sinking her into an inescapable abyss. Never would a day come that she would grow to like him, or trust him. To her, he was a snake in the grass, just waiting to strike when she let her guard down.
It was the way that Eren and Rivaille looked at each other that made her skin crawl with abject repulsion. Those heated looks the two males sent at one another when they thought that no one was looking would be Mikasa's undoing. Was it illogical to feel hostility towards the Corporal for giving Eren a lingering gaze, one that suggested at deeper meanings and feelings? Yes, it certainly was. Looking at things logically, Mikasa knew that it was none of her business what people did behind closed doors, that if two people cared very much for each other and no one was getting hurt, it did not concern her. Even if it was her brother, she should keep her nose out of it. Mikasa was a logical woman, to be sure, but because it was Rivaille, she threw all rationale out of the window. This would not happen, they would not be together. Rivaille was not allowed to have Eren...
Not if Mikasa had anything to say about it.
E/N: I hope you enjoyed this little taste~ Please review and leave me nice little comments, telling me what you think and if I should continue this.
Kisses, Ritsy
