Fourth drabble, featuring Eren's and Mikasa's son, and the kid's encounter with the Corporal. Another fluffy drabble, written for MatsuGlare, who enjoys reading about Rivaille so much :3

And a disclaimer, since I haven't done that yet? I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin, of course.

Chapter 4: Jaeger's Brat

"Jaeger. I thought you had better things to do than going around breeding in my branch and disabling one of our good soldiers." Rivaille called, not taking his eyes off the small creature in front of him. The little boy had short, soft dark hair and vivid, playful turquoise eyes that gleamed with life. Rivaille stared down at those turquoise eyes with a scowl – he couldn't help but see in him a smaller, more innocent version of Eren Jaeger.

Mikasa had brought her son, Mikael, in a visit at the Scouting Legion Headquarters. The four years old boy had insisted that he wanted to see his father, Eren, who didn't visit home in the past month. The times were of peace, though, but there was still work to do, there were still expeditions outside the walls that Mikasa was waiting through with pain in her heart, there were still titans to fight, titans that Eren was facing every time he stepped outside the wall. But Mikasa had grown up, learning to accept she had to leave Eren's side for the sake of their son. So she had given up the Scouting Legion, a decision they both made together, concluding, with grim expressions on their faces, that their son would lead an easier life with his mother, in case Eren was to die.

So there they were, four years after Mikael's birth, outside the Scouting Legion Headquarters, Eren and Armin watching from afar as Rivaille, crouched down at the kid's eye level, was glaring at the innocent being in front of him.

The kid squealed in delight as he reached up, grabbing Rivaille's nose and laughing, crystalline innocent laughter filling the air. The look on Rivaille's face was a mix of shock, annoyance and something that looked like a disgusted expression. He slapped the kid's hand away, and called, "Jaeger, take your shitty, filthy brat away from me." But, in response, Eren's son only laughed harder, entertained by the older man. No matter how hard the Corporal glared, it seemed like the subject of his spontaneous hatred wasn't a bit affected by it. He scowled, "You can't expect a shitty brat to breed anything else than a shitty brat." Rivaille got up to his feet, and took only one step to walk away, when he felt a pair of small hands tugging at his pants, then encircling around his knee. He looked down to see the mini-Jaeger smiling up at him. His brow twitched.

"Eren, where is Mikael?" Armin asked, looking up at a confused, somehow frightened Eren.

"I have no idea, Armin, no damn idea. I've lost him, and Mikasa is gonna find out, find Mikael, and cook me for dinner." He fidgeted, looking around frantically, as if, in some kind of magic, his son was going to fall from the sky, in front of him. He had asked around, but to no avail. He didn't even know how he lost Mikael, but he was on his way to Sasha, who had taken a liking to the kid even from the first time she had seen him, three months after his birth, hoping Mikael had ran away to her.

"Jaeger!" The Lance Corporal's angered voice thundered with an echo through the halls of the Scouting Legion Headquarters. The moment the voice reached Eren's ears and he realized how the solution to his momentary problem meant the start of another problem. And he cursed under his breath when he couldn't make up his mind whether he feared Mikasa or Rivaille more.

Running through the hallways towards the Corporal's office, with Armin behind him, Eren burst through the door, ready to splutter out apologizes. Though, he froze in his spot, fighting back laughter with much effort. It was only when Armin arrived a few moments later and started chuckling, when Eren burst out laughing at the sight of Rivaille, his office a mess, his coffee all over his white shirt as well as little Mikael's face, as the kid was giggling almost hysterically at the Corporal's glare.

Eren could only hope that the child Mikasa was going to give birth to, after four months, was going to act more like Mikasa than like him.

Mikael's name is an uninspired combination of Mikasa and Eren, because the kid needed a name. So that's it, hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for all the support, everyone :D
