** GOMENASAI FOR THE EXTREME DELAY ON THIS CHAPTER. T_T **

Eren woke up with a massive headache and no Levi in sight. He felt completely drained of all energy and extremely hungry. His body screamed when he tried move off of the bed.

Hnnghhh…What the hell happened…Why do I feel so heavy? Why do I hurt everywhere. Where is he?

"Levi. Levi. Are you here?"

Silence. Even though he knew that Levi would never answer to him if he called out, Eren was certain he would be around at this very moment, especially in the state he was in.

"Levi, ssss, fuck." Eren hissed at the pain when he tried to walk. He didn't see or hear any response from Levi and assumed he wasn't around. He stumbled to the kitchen hissing in pain until he reached the cupboards. He opened it to see a bag of Levis' favourite tea. He took out one teabag and boiled some water. He took a seat at the worn out table on an unstable chair and sat in silence waiting for the water to stop boiling.

Eren finished making the tea and slowly walked toward the bed. He lay down and drank the tea, letting its ingredients sooth and relax his aching muscles. He brought the cup down and heard a klink noise. He looked down and saw the key to his fathers' basement.

'Ahhhhhh! Sssss, fuuuuck!' Eren screamed out in extreme pain as his head starting pounding, pain splitting all over his brain as if someone was trying to tear it apart with their hands.

Erens vision blurred as a scene played out in his mind.

Eren saw the dark figure walk in and inject him with a strong sedative. He grabbed his arm and yelled out in pain. Eren felt his bodily functions switching off as the scene before him blurred in the same moment Levi picked him up and headed for the door. Eren saw a glimpse of the figure in the dim light. His heart stopped as the blurry image of Grisha Yeager stood there before he was swallowed by darkness.

Eren gasped loudly as it dawned on him what had happened. He remembers Levi taking him to get checked out at the library in some sort of basement like room. He remembers Levi and the man talking about him and the incident. He remembers Levi ask about his condition. And he remembers…he saw…he saw… Just in that moment Levi came through the window.

"Oh so you're awake? Look we need to start packing because…" Levi was cut off as Eren punched him repeatedly in the face.

"You knew?! You fucking knew?!" Eren was in a state of rage and didn't try to listen to anything Levi was trying to say.

"Why?! Why didn't you tell me?! You knew I've been searching for him for years and you decide to tell me nothing?!" Eren kept hitting and hitting repeatedly, tears starting to run down his face. Levi gripped Erens' wrists tightly and flipped him so that Eren was struggling beneath him. He held Eren down as tightly as he could, trying not to use too much strength as it might break his bones, even though he knew they would heal themselves.

"Look at me!"

"No…get off me you fucking traitor." Eren screamed and writhed trying to break free.

"Look at me you brat." Levi let go of Erens' right arm and punched him hard across his face causing Eren to fall silent.

"Fucking look at me you piece of shit!" his voice was demanding and laced with panic. Eren reluctantly looked Levi right in his eyes, which started to look a bit red.

"This is exactly why I didn't tell you, why I tried as best as I could to treat you from here. You need to calm down. Listen to me. I will explain everything to you OK?" Eren started looking away as he couldn't look at Levi.

"Hey! Did I say you could fucking look away? Listen to me. We need to leave. NOW!"

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

"For fuck sake would you please just shut up and let me talk. The Military Police noticed our little outing and saw us as I was trying to bring you back here from the library. They're searching every inch of this place. We need to go. I promised your father I'd keep you safe. So get your shit and let's move."

Eren just stared at Levi. The look on his face said that right now nothing matters but his safety. Tears started to run over his cheeks again.

Twenty minutes later Eren had managed to get what little belongings he had left into a bag along with some of Levis' things. Levi walked in on Eren staring at the bed with a forlorn look on his face.

"Come on we need to go if we want to make it out of here without being noticed."

Levi walked up to Eren and turned him around to look into his eyes. Due to his condition Levi had a short growth spurt, making him close to Erens height. He pulled Eren close to him and held him tightly.

"They will die before they get their filthy fucking fingers on you."

Eren knew Levi wasn't one to be romantic or show his caring side often, but he knew that at this point Levi was giving him something special. He was showing his vulnerability for how much he cared.

The door flew wide open, breaking off of its hinges from the hard impact while they were hugging in the middle of the room.

"Military Police! Do not move or we will shoot!"

"Shit! Eren you better hold on tight if you want to make it out of here alive"

"Don't even try to move! We have this place surrounded." Levi scoped the situation quickly and noticed he had two choices. He could kill all these men and women as swiftly as he could, the only disadvantage would be that somewhere between all of it Eren could be grabbed amidst the chaos.

"Guess I'm going with Plan B." Levi whispered to himself.

Levi lifted up his arms in surrender. He turned around to a petrified Eren. In two swift movements he removed a needle from his jacket pocket and injected Eren. There was a big flash of green light as Eren forcefully transformed into his titan form.
