Yay! Chapter two! Remember to comment and again i'm so sorry that chapter one messed up the first time I posted it. Now, this is an amazing chapter if I do say so myself. Meetings, fun, memories, and a cliffhanger my friend will definitely punch me for.

Levi POV

I'm floating… My entire body feels like I'm floating in warmth. My eyes are shut, and part of me is exhausted, wanting to sleep for a month, the other half wants to jump off the walls. I slowly cave into the bouncy side and open my eyes, finding the space around me slowly brighten as my feet land upon a firm surface. I stand, wobbling softly as I gain my footing and the place I'm in brightens to a sparkling stark white.

The room seems to go on forever, the white seeming to shimmer as I watch it. I blink and look around, shivering under the feeling of being watched. As I go to turn I feel a warm gust of air, almost like something breathing and spin on my heel, coming face to face with my Titan. It's crouched down, leaning on it's hands and knees to look at me before sitting back up.

I blink at it in awe, comparing it to other Titans I'd seen. It looked like the height of a 15 meter from where it sat, and looked as muscled as Eren's was, and had the same mouth and ears. However the similarities ended there. Mine had jet black hair that was in an undercut like mine was, and bright blue eyes. It's features were sharper too, entire body structure thinner than Eren's Titan.

My Titan suddenly chuckles and asked "Are you going to stare forever my friend?" I gape at him and say "Oh god you can talk…" he blinks at me, face perfectly neutral as he says "That I can. Now, since our mate explained almost everything, I'll just go over the basics. Kill me and lose your humanity. Go through your painful or forgotten memories and gain power over me."

I nod and say "Memories." He suddenly blinks in shock and asks "Are you sure?... it won't be pretty…" I nod and say "I faced my Demons every night before I started laying next to Eren. I think I can go through them one more time." He nods slowly, gently reaching out as he says "For our mates sake, as well as ours, please be strong. But also accepting. We cannot change the past, and we do not need to punish ourselves forever for it either." I nod as his finger gently touched my forehead and everything around me faded away into shadows and warmth.

Eren POV

After spending a good hour talking to Hanji I finally managed to leave and get over to the uniform area of the castle, only to have Erwin walk into my as I turned the corner. We caught each other to keep from falling and he gave me a grin saying "There you are. I was looking for you. Here." He hands me a stack of clothes and says "Hanji measured you yesterday. I had a new uniform and harness made so you'll be in uniform for the Military Police. Which, are nearly at our doorstep. To go change. And get Levi!"

I nod and say "Levi's indisposed at the moment. Unless he says he can go while I'm up there, he won't appear." Erwin blinks and says "Okay. I don't wanna know why. But okay." He backs away and turns the corner, while I go the opposite way and up to our room. As I step inside I see that Levi is still asleep, however he looks a good ten years younger. Some of the tiny glare lines are gone.

I smile at my sleeping mate before shaking my head at him, quickly pulling on my uniform. Everything fits as well as it did before and I try to not think of how Hanji measured me while I was technically in a coma. I stepped over and gently kissed Levi's sleeping forehead, causing him to shift slightly before sighing softly. I smiled before stepping out of our room, locking the door behind me and slipping the key in my pocket.

I'm pleased with how my uniform fits, yet a little annoyed with my hair. Eh. I'll cut it later. I think before I tied it back into a small ponytail with a spare rubber band. I stepped down the stairs and see Erwin grin at me saying "Good. There in the main briefing room. You'll walk in after me. Your friends are currently stalking for us." I nod at him as he leads me downstairs and steps into the room.

I brace myself for quite a few stares as I step into the room, seeing the others look up and gape, or do something in shock. Mikasa just widened her eyes, Armin looked me over rapidly, Jean just gaped with a slight blush on his face, the Military Police just stared in a mix of awe and fear as Pixis said "Eren my boy! How are you?" Stepping over and giving me a hug. I hug him back gently and say "Hello sir. It has been a while, hasn't it?"

Our hug ends and the meeting begins as the Military Police quiz and question me as we all sit, questions buzzing around the room. I smile as Nile Dok asks "Why do you suddenly look so old? You looked like a brat last time I saw you." I stiffen and say "I, am not a brat, say it again and you'll regret it. Also this is a side effect of shifting so many times. It caused my body to generate to it's peak form."

I see him nod rapidly while shivering as the others stare at me in awe while Erwin takes over, letting them question and prod before bidding them a good day and showing them out. I smiled at my friends, all of whom gaped at me like fish out of water. I give them a grin, seeing a few of them go red as I say "Still me you guys. Whether I'm a kid or not, it's still me." Mikasa jumps forward, grabbing me tightly into a hug.

She sniffs softly, arms a vice grip around my chest. I hold her for a moment or two before she says "Your voice dropped an octave or two… it's kinda cool." I laugh lightly as Armin nods and says "You do sound pretty sweet Eren." As he says that I see Erwin walk in and pout at him slightly as I say "I'm going to go see if Levi's awake, than I'll meet you in the mess hall okay?"

I get a few nods before I gently let Mikasa go, giving everyone an award winning grin before walking out, easily making my way up to our room, stepping inside and finding Levi in the same position, yet face pinched slightly as if he was having a nightmare. I gently touch his shoulder, sure he can't feel me as I pray he makes it out of this safe.

Levi POV

I opened my eyes and saw the little me, standing in a chair to reach the counter of our home. My mother looked ill even now, hair thinning and a small cough apparent every minute or so. Yet the little me didn't notice as I clung to her side, watching her cook. My chest echoed with pain as she smiled down at me.

The image faded away and was replaced by her a few months later. By this point she couldn't even stand, forced to stay in bed as I tried to care for her. I felt a few tears prick behind my eyes as I heard myself speak. "Are you sure you don't want any soup momma?" I asked her softly, holding a small bowl out to her.

She shook her head, asking that I eat it since she wasn't hungry. Yet now I could see how far her illness had progressed. She'd died not long after this memory. I thought to myself as this memory faded as well, and was replaced with one that made my chest hurt. I quickly wiped my eyes as I heard myself ask "Momma? Wake up…"

Don't try… She's not going to… I silently plead the younger me as I opened my eyes to see little me shake her shoulder softly, yet with increasing urgency. "Momma? Please wake up!" I watched as the answer came dawning upon my face, feel the hurt echo as I slowly pulled away from her while sitting in the chair I'd pulled over to the bed.

I curled up in it, holding my legs to my chest as I cried into my knees, sobs soft and weak as I eventually pass out, memory fading. I let out a small sob myself, every negative memory I had of my mother bleeding through my brain as I'm suddenly pelted with a drop of rain, which makes me look up, only to see myself again.

I was older, and Isabel and Farlan rode with me out into the rain. I gasped and whispered "No… Please no…" And I felt a tug as I suddenly was in my own body, but the younger me moved as I watched. I watched my friends die again, watched as I couldn't save them, and as everything faded I felt myself fall to my knees, my chest aching as I sobbed into my hands.

I hated crying, I hated the tears, and the puffy eyes and the stuffed up nose it gives you. I hate how weak it makes you look, how pathetic it makes me feel, like I'm still the useless child who couldn't save my mom. And as I sob, I start asking myself why I'm even fighting this, why I keep going through these memories that hold so much pain.

I try to find why, but my grief addled brain won't cooperate and as I cry, I can almost feel a weight increase on my chest and I can almost feel everything around me darken. What could possibly be worth this?... I don't think whatever it was is worth it… And so, I sob, rocking myself and trying to remember why I'm here.
