A/N: I'm so sorry! I wrote this then forgot to publish and now its been more than a month. I'll make it up to you all and write another chapter for this month if that would be ok. Sorry again.

Warning: angst, boy x boy, and mentions of sex (do I need to mention that if in the last chapter they went at it? I'm not sure...)

As the door shut, the two people looked down to the floor. Levi's face was grave and, though the physical tears had stopped, the pain he felt in his heart did not. The sound of losing somebody to someone else was painful. It meant having to live life while the other carried on with theirs with someone else and without you. He knew how awful it felt to lose the people you care about. He had felt that pain whenever he saw the people he worked with lose their lives to the titans. He had seen that pain when he saw people crying over their loved one's dead body- or whatever was left of it that is. He had always fought to end that pain, to end that suffering, but now, he had caused it. "What have I done?"

Not being able to keep it in, Eren erupted in rage. It was the only thing he could do in the midst of his disorientation. "You're right! What have you done Heichou? Why didn't you tell me it was you and not Armin? Why did you keep it secret? Why? Why? Why?" His angry yelling was turning into pleading, hot angry tears brimming from his eyes.

Levi shot back with anger himself, however he was unable to look at the other in the eye. "And did you even let me tell you? I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen. You were to occupied with sex like the hormonal teenager you are."

"When did you try to tell me? If you had tried to tell me then I'm sure I would have listened! I'm sure of it," Eren tried to reassure himself but his hands were already shaking.

"If you hadn't just pounced on me at the beginning, then maybe you would have been able to listen." Levi paused, crossing his arms. "This wouldn't have happened if you knew Arlert."

"I do know him! I have known him since we were both kids," he argued, his hand curling up into fists.

Levi scoffed, "Not enough it seems."

"What did you say?"

"I said that if you really knew him you would have at least been able to tell by yourself that something was off."

"I-" Eren's voice faltered. He knew in his heart that he should have known. He should have been able to tell that it wasn't Armin, even though the idea of this happening had never crossed his mind. Levi and Armin were practically opposites and yet, he still wasn't able to tell. Hot burning tears began to stream down his face as he bit his lip to try to stop them from quivering. He was a monster, uncaring of what was going on with Armin, only caring about himself, only caring about having sex. He could feel his back slide down against the wall as his still shaking hands covered his face. "I'm the worst."

Levi finally looked back at Eren to see tears dripping down his chin, the rest of his face clearly covered by his hands. Letting out a long, sad sigh, he knelt down next to the disheartened teen. "I know of far worse people than you so don't be so conceited. You're not the worst." When the shifter didn't respond, Levi decided to continue, "You aren't an adult yet. It's the time to make mistakes, just be prepared to accept the consequences of them. If you made a mistake out in the field I would be very upset because that mistake can never be reversed, those lives lost can never return." His voice was more somber now, but he kept on going until he would get a response out of the Jeager boy. "However, this is a mistake that you can fix. It is a mistake you can make up for and," he took a deep breath, "this is partially my fault to so you are not alone. As much as it may annoy me to work with a brat like you over something not in the field, I know that I have to- we have to. We have to take responsibility over our actions and fix what we can before its too late."

Slowly but eventually, Eren rose his head. His lips still quivered as he spoke, tears still streaming down his face as he gulped for air, "I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose Armin. I don't want to lose any more people I care about, especially over something I could have done to keep it from happening." His hands gripped on his legs to try to keep them from shaking so much as he remembered all of the people that he knew were lost because of him. "He keeps me sane, if I lost him I don't know what I would do. I wouldn't be able to handle all of this."

Levi slowly nodded. He remembered that feeling, the feeling of having those people you felt you absolutely wouldn't be able to stay sane in this world without. Then he remembered the pain that came when he lost even one of them, he bit his lip to keep those memories from resurfacing. He did not need those now, they wouldn't help the situation he was in. "Don't worry kid. We will try to fix this to the best of our ability."

"But what if I can't make it up to Armin? I did something awful to him, I don't deserve his forgiveness. What if he doesn't let me be with him again because of what I have done?" More tears slid down Eren's face at the thought of not being able to be with the blonde.

The Corporal let out a long sigh, "You're right, you don't deserve it." He cleared his throat, "Neither of us deserve his forgiveness. However, Eren, you can try to earn his forgiveness. He really does love you and I know you love him too." A small blush appeared on Eren's face. "At least he's finally showing some more emotion," Levi thought as he continued, "You two both need each other so he may forgive you eventually. After all, he's the foolish kid who decided to fall for an idiot like you."Eren responded with a glare which he ignored. "Still, don't expect him to forgive you right away. He may be a fool at love but he is intelligent in everything else; he will know that forgiving you right now wouldn't be right either, you should know that too."

Levi lifted himself from the ground and headed towards the door before Eren called out to him in a still-scratchy voice. "Thank you for reassuring me Heichou. I'm sorry I did that to you."

"I think this is the first time I've heard Jeager thanking and apologizing to me at the same time," he paused, hand already on the doorknob. "I don't like it, it doesn't sound like you." With that, Levi walked out and closed the door behind him, leaving Eren, slightly wide-eyed, to himself.

"That was one of the longest conversations I never wanted to have. Love is such a difficult burden and even more so the younger you are. Only fools would dare to love in this world."

"What am I talking about," he muttered to himself as he walked away. His fingers delicately brushed over his own lips, "I'm such a fool myself."

A/N: Hm... Why is Levi calling himself a fool? We may never know. Kidding, kidding, we will... maybe.

Next chapter we will get to see Armin once again. Ah poor Armin I hope he'll be ok. I just want to give him tubs of icecream to eat to make him feel better but that probably won't work. Be prepared for some more angst.

I'm sorry again about forgetting to post this even though I wrote it (how that happened I don't know).
