A/N: Thanks so so much for all your lovely reviews, I love reading them so much 3 This was written pretty quickly (I hope it's an okay update...), so if there are any terrible mistakes, please do tell! I'll fix them up ASAP :)


The very moment I reached the bottom of the stairs I was knocked over backwards off my feet by something rather aggressive, wrapping me in a tight embrace. Black hair was shoved in my face as it buried its face into my shoulder, pushing hard into my back with its hands so that my body was forced closer to its. I sneezed and flailed my limbs uselessly, a lot like a dying cockroach, and looked helplessly over at Levi, who was just watching us from his place at the table.

Help, heichou help!

"Eren!" The person holding me finally loosened her grip slightly, and the breath returned to me body. It lifted its head up and I saw a girl's sparkling eyes studying my face intently. "Oh my god." She whispered, threading her hand through my hair before resting it on my , completely ignoring my struggle. "You're. So. Adorable."

I looked desperately over at corporal again, who was still sitting there impassively sipping coffee. HELP.

When he purposely avoided my frantic gaze and went to look blankly at the table surface, I put my hands on her shoulder and pushed away so she couldn't get any closer to my face. "W-Who are you?" I heard myself stuttering as I tried desperately to squirm out of her deathly grip.

She looked at me intensely for a few moments, before opening her mouth. "I guess you wouldn't know me yet." She said. "I'm Mikasa. Your future wife."

…What?

"Stop telling the kid bullshit." I heard corporal grunt as he finally pushed himself out of the chair. "Isn't it obvious that I'm his future partner?"

Suddenly, Mikasa's eyes turned lethally narrow and she flicked around, whipping her hair into my face. "Shut up, midget, I will not hand over my precious Eren over to you."

I saw his face twitch in annoyance as he approached us. "First, fucking let go of him, he looks like he's dying."

Mikasa grudgingly complied, and the suffocating hair and strangling limbs were finally gone from my body. I slid away from her, fearful of when she'll attack me again.

"Good. Second, why are you here?" Heichou asked, taking the opportunity that she was on the ground to glare down.

"I overheard Erwin talking to Armin." She stated boldly. "They were talking about how something weird had happened to Eren, and I didn't have training today so I came." At that she turned to look lovingly at me, and I tried my best to look anywhere but her. "I didn't know you were this cute when you were little, Eren." She said adoringly, reaching her hand out to take mine in hers.

I didn't know what she meant, but she didn't seem to be threatening so I warily let her have my sweating hand.

Levi didn't seem to think like that.

"Don't fucking touch him so freely." He spat, and suddenly he bent down and easily scooped me up into his arms so my hand slipped from her grip. "He's mine."

Uhh Heichou?

"Fucking midget." She stood up swiftly so she was at her full height, this time looking distastefully down on him. "You have no right to have him. I will be taking him back with me."

"No you will not." Levi said sternly. "You should leave now if you want to get back in time."

"He's my brother, I will take care of him." She said and she put her hand under my arms to try and lift me up. Heichou's grip on me tightened, and he glared at her.

"I'm his corporal. I have to take care of him."

The girl growled, her eyes turning scarier by the second. Holy crap, I didn't want to be taken with her. I gripped onto Levi's shoulders, trying to hold on as she pulled me hard.

"Just hand him over-"

"I'm so sorry, Heichou!" The door was suddenly burst open, and a blond boy was standing there, panting. "My apologies for her interrupting you! Come on Mikasa, let's go."

He came in through the door, and took her arm in a tight grip. "Armin." She mumbled. "That perverted midget is-"

"Mikasa!" The blonde exclaimed, bobbing his head in apology at us. "S-sorry, we'll leave now."

Is that Armin…?

I reached my arm cautiously out to grip onto his sleeve. "Armin?" I breathed. Why was he suddenly so tall?

"Oh." He suddenly stopped in his path, eyeing me carefully with his blue eyes. "I'm sorry. I don't think I know you." He said quickly, his eyes darting sideways, before dragging Mikasa along with him to the door. "Sorry for everything, Heichou!"

The door was shut behind them, and it was just Levi and I once more.

Why isn't anyone telling me anything? That was definitely Armin.

Levi set me down onto the ground just as Hanji and the rest of his squad came filing in, wiping the sweat off their foreheads and neatly folding the cloths they had been wearing around their heads.

"We've finished cleaning!" They announced, milling into the kitchen. "Time for lunch!"

"Go and help." Levi told me softly and pushed me a little towards them, and I turned around to look at him.

"Where are you going?" I asked him, wondering if I could come with him instead. I wasn't much good in the kitchen.

"A meeting." Was all he replied before turning around and walking out of the door.

I followed him with my eyes before Petra called my name and I scampered to the kitchen, wondering what we were having for lunch.

"How is Eren going?" Erwin asked, his chin resting on his hands.

"Alright." I sighed, leaning back in my chair. "Mikasa and Armin came around today. He was pretty confused."

"Oh?" The commander said, raising an eyebrow. "He should know Armin by that age."

"He did."

"Well I hope Armin didn't tell him anything. We can't have him find out he's living in the world of his fifteen year-old self just yet."

I looked at the dusty desk, unreflective and dirty. I wanted to clean it desperately. "Why not?"

"Quite a few Military Police members are out for his blood. If he finds out he really is a titan-shifter, then it could increase the chance of his death, since his identity would be easier to discover. And according to Hanji, it seems that in this six year-old state, he's pretty easy to kill."

I think about that for a second. I guess it made sense. "He's going to find out eventually."

Erwin sighed, and got up from his chair. "Well, your job is to make sure he doesn't."
