Thanks for sticking with me and i hope you enjoy this chapter as I'll have new ones on the way very soon.

Eren woke up early again the next day, His sleep pattern was still reminiscent to the rigors of Captain Levi's training schedule. His shoulder was a little sore but other than that he was feeling much better from the day before. Now he decided he was going to do Louise's laundry. He hadn't finished the day's load from yesterday, mostly because Louise had him locked up in her room for the better part of the day and evening.

Things had gotten much stranger immediately after the duel as Eren had admirers. Louise said she was protecting him from the over interest of the other girls of the school, which was mostly true. In honesty, Eren wasn't the type to catch on to any girl's feelings. The only thing he knew was his hate for titans which was his main motivator for years.

Eren pushed himself out from under the covers, making sure not to wake Louise who was sound asleep with a light smile on her face. Eren's sleeping arrangement had changed as well that day. Louise insisted he not sleep on the floor and instead "get in" with her. She argued that he wasn't an animal and he deserved to be treated with dignity and as a show of that sentiment He was allowed to sleep in her bed from then on. Of course he needed to be close at hand to serve her so he would still be staying in her room. That's how she had put it. Eren decided to not argue but he was uncomfortable nonetheless.

Eren walked over to the table to grab his boots and harness. The straps were placed on top of the folded boots as a neat coil. The skirt of the harness was wrapped around the outside of the coil and the toes of the boots poked out from under it. Eren was much better at storing his harness than Louise.

He unraveled his harness and slipped it on, connecting all the straps and tightening them in place. Once he was done adjusting it, he sat in a chair to pull his long equestrian boots on with the knee guards up over his knees. Louise stirred for a moment but she didn't show any more signs of waking up. Eren looked at her sleeping figure, contemplating on how she was very peaceful… when she slept. Chuckling to himself, he tied on his white head scarf, which was lent to him from one of the servants in the kitchen. Eren then grabbed a basket of clothes from one of the corners and quietly turned the knob of the door. The door swung open with a gentle squeak.

" Make sure to clean my silks properly this time and don't be seen by any of the girls… especially Kirche…" Louise groggily said. Eren turned his head in her direction and noticed she hadn't moved from her spot. He had thought she was asleep.

" Yes yes, I understand... Master." Eren said with contempt. Louise slowly rolled over to face Eren. A lock of her hair fell to obscured her left eye.

" You're a dignified Human, but you're still an idiot in my eyes. Don't think I've forgoten about your overly stupid duel with Guiche." Louise said sternly. Eren sighed and replied,

" Yeah I know. I won't cause anymore trouble for you today, promis." Eren said nonchalantly as he then stepped out of the room and closed the door less gingerly. Louise was left in the silence as she continued to look on at the door. Her face scrunched into a slight frown.

Stupid idiot, why did he have fight yesterday, Now other girls are after him, ugh and I know that damned Kirche is going to try something today. Louise thought to herself. She was now remembering the fight.

She could only watch from the side as Eren was chased around the field by Guiches murderous Golems. His speed seemed to increase as the fight dragged on. Never had she seen anyone move so swiftly and dodged so skillfully as Eren did. Of course, Louise felt fear as she watched her familiar narrowly dodge attacks but at the same time it was exhilarating. This sensation was also reflected in the crowd of students who cheered on. It was one moment when Eren pushed off one Golem with his right leg that Louise was now constantly playing over in her head. She could see his defined leg muscles working as their contours showed through his white pants. His body moved gracefully like a ballet dancer would but his actions were violent and aggressive. His body was thin but toned with muscle yet his face and emotions were of serious, steadfast intention. This duality of handsomeness yet seriousness was very appealing to her for some reason.

Shaking her head, Louise tried to shake herself out of her thoughts. Louise's frown had been replaced with a blush. Realising this, Louise shrank back under her comforter with an uneasy look in her eyes.

Why is this happening to me? She thought to herself.

Eren had managed to make it out of the school and down to the water fountain that the servants used for cleaning and drawing water. He managed this without being spotted by anyone. He wasn't sure how everyone would react to his presence today as he was immediately rushed after the duel by a cheering mob of students who wouldn't relent until Louise had pulled him into her room, locking the door.

Eren contemplated the event with an uneasy look on his face. He wasn't exactly used to being followed like that and he wasn't sure he would ever be used to it. Some of the girls tried to hang on his arms which made Louise upset. He wasn't sure why they would act so clingy or why Louise would be so upset. It was just a fight. His scuffle with Jean wasn't met with much attention, why was this fight with Guiche so different? Eren shrugged the thoughts off and then preceded to do Louise's laundry.

Silk, the material Louises pantiesand bras were made of, was a very tricky material for Eren to wash since he had never seen it himself. Most of his garments were made of wool, hemp and cotton when his father could afford it. He'd heard of the material being used in the inner district since is was a very pricy material to get and it had very little advantage as a fabric in the outer wall districts so Eren was getting a hands on learning experience. It didn't help that the garments were Louise's underwear. ERen still didn't get how she was so laxed around him and had no qualms of undressing in front of him or making him handle her underwear. It was just something he's never had to experience before, especially from a cute girl.

As Eren was washing the garments, a person had walked up to the fountain out of the shadows. Eren turned with a fright.

" Oh my! Im so sorry! I didn't mean to startle you!" said a very feminine voice. Eren looked the girl over and when his eyes met her face, Eren's muscles tensed as he let out a gasp.

Mikasa? Eren thought to himself immediately. The girl had straight black hair, a soft face and black sleek eyes. The girl, noticing Erens change in expression had gotten much more self conscious and began to take a step back.

Eren's heart was pounding until he realised the girl wasn't his adoptive sister. In his hometown of the Shiganshina district, Mikasa had a very unique look as she was one of the last people of asian descent, so seeing another girl who had those features was very shocking for him.

" I'm sorry Mr….Yeager was it? Ill go if you want to be alone." The girl said.

" no, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you." On second look, Eren could tell the girl was definitely not Mikasa, For instance, she was slightly shorter, her facial expressions were more expressive, and she didn't have an air of strength that his sister possessed. Not to mention her breasts were… quite large.

Eren shook his head as he tore his gaze from her mounds. A blush forced its way onto his cheeks.

"What's the matter Mr. Yeager. Is everything ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." The girl asked. Her face showed concern and she took a step forward.

" No.. I'm fine. It's just that you look like someone I know," Eren replied sheepishly. The girl began to look Eren up and down. She was focusing on his strange clothes and harness that he wore. Eren then began to feel self conscious himself.

" My name is Siesta, I'm a maid in the kitchen here at the academy. You must be the boy familiar Everyone is talking about." Siesta said suddenly. Eren had a look of realisation.

" So that explains how you know my last name." Eren said with a smile. He should have known people would be talking about him. Apparently his presence was overtly strange.

" Yes Everyone has been talking about you. You've been stirring up quite a lot of chatter You know." she said with a smile. Eren couldn't help but smile too.

" Does no one have anything better to do?" Eren asked.

" No this is a very unique situation here. No one has ever summoned a human Familiar, especially a soldier like yourself Mr. Yeager." Siesta replied.

" You can call me Eren if you like." Eren offered. The girl wasn't attacking him like some of the noble girls so he felt he could trust her. He had also forgotten Louise's instructions.

" Oh, Okay then Eren. So what are you doing here?" Siesta said as she attempted to look around Eren to see his basket of clothes. Eren, realising he was literally hanging Louise's laundry to dry for all to see, felt his cheeks heat up again.

" I.. I uh…" Eren sputtered. He had stupidly forgotten he was washing Louises panties and bras, He didn't think this would look right to anyone and he could feel himself getting embarrassed.

" Oh… You're doing your masters laundry." Siesta said cheerfully. Eren felt himself ease up despite his new onset of confusion at the girls frankness.

" Uh.. yeah, She has me cleaning her 'silks'." Eren said uneasily. Siesta walked passed him with eagerness as she looked at the undergarments.

" Wow these look expensive, I wonder what it would be like wearing these?" Siesta said without missing a step. Eren sported a look of shock as Siesta held up a pair of Louise's panties to her body.

" uh… I… I wouldn't know!" Eren blurted out. Siesta looked at Eren as she giggled.

" Oh Eren, Of course not, I'm sure you're not one of those weirdos that steals girls panties… Are you?" Siesta said suddenly with a suspicious look. Eren dawned a look of annoyance.

" No…" He said flatly. Siesta then began smiling again.

" That's good to hear Eren." She said as she put the panties back. Eren couldn't quite put his finger on what it was about this girl. She was seemingly nice but not overtly flirty with him. He didn't sense anything about her that made him uneasy. She was the most nonthreatening person he had ever met.

" Hmm. Looks like you're struggling with them huh?" Siesta said after closely examining the garments. Eren shook his head.

" Yeah I'm not too familiar with cleaning silk." Eren replied. This made Siesta giggle again.

" Was that a pub?" She asked with a smirk.

" Huh?" Eren said with a look of confusion. That made siesta giggle more.

" here, let me show you how." Siesta said as she took his hand and brought him to the fountain.

Louise tried to go back to sleep, but her mind wandered about, bringing up all sorts of feelings and thoughts. She rolled around frustrated over something she couldn't put her finger on.

" Why am I thinking about him? He's just a peasant, a familiar at that!" Louise said to herself. Her feelings on the matter were confused. She wasn't sure what to think about Eren and she knew that she'd have to protect him from the other girls, he was after all, her familiar.

" No, I can't do that, He's a person with his own feeling, What if he actually likes another girl? I'd hate it if he liked that Zerbst Sireign." Louise rolled over to her other side with a pout.

But what if he already has a girlfriend, from his home? Louise suddenly thought. This made her sit up in her bed. She was about to get out of bed when a thought occurred to her.

Wait, why do I even care? I'm a daughter of a duke. But he is my familiar, I should be concerned over his well being.. Which includes whoever he dates! With that thought, Louise got out of bed.

It wasn't long before she was dressed in her sleeping gown and a pair of her shoes and was walking down the hallway.

I mean it's for his own good. A master has to be in a familiars life. Taking care of the wellness of a familiar is the master's duty. Louise thought to herself. Her steps were rapid as she made her way to the stair case. Once she made it to the stares, she rapidly descended them.

He's an Idiot and probably incapable of make a good choice in a girlfriend. I'll have to teach him who a proper lady is. She continued. She mused that she was in fact a proper noble lady.

Eren watched as Siesta finished cleaning a pair of panties as a demonstration.

" There see, you need to be gentle otherwise you might ruin the fabric. Also you need to dry them in the shade." Siesta finished with a smile.

" Thank you Siesta, thats one last thing Louise to yell about." Eren said with a smile as well.

" You're quite welcome!" She replied happily. Eren looked down at the basket and nelt to start washing them again. Siesta looked him over again, noticing that his jacket had strange emblems.

" Eren?" Siesta asked.

" What is it?" Eren replied as he looked up from his duties.

"Where are you from?" She asked with an inquisitive look. Eren's smile seemed to fade just a little.

" It's kinda hard to explain but im from a different world." Eren said with a hint of sadness. Siesta looked shocked.

" A different world? That is very 's it like there?" She asked. Eren had a thoughtful look before he turned back to her.

" It's a place where all that is left of humanity is living with in large walls that help keep back the threat of titans." Eren replied. His explanation was getting tired as he wasn't keen on repeating himself.

" Titans?" Siesta asked. Eren knew she'd ask.

" Large human like creatures as tall as buildings who devour humans. They've managed to take everything from me and my sister, our home and our parents" Eren replied sadly. Siesta looked down sadly contemplating.

" I'm so sorry, I can't imagine what that's like." Siesta said with sadness.

" It's ok, i'm glad you don't have to know how that is." Eren said with a smile.

" I'd be devastated if any of my family were to pass. " Siesta said looking at Eren.

" It's why i'm a soldier." Eren stated.

" For Revenge?" Siesta asked timidly

" I don't want anyone else to suffer like i have. I want to destroy all the titans and free humanity in my world. At least that's what i wanted to do before i was summoned here." Eren explained with a further saddened look. Siesta was shocked. She realised something as they sat there for a moment in silence.

" You can't see your sister can you?" Siesta suggested. Eren looked to her with an expression of regret and longing. Tears began to well up in his eyes. He began thinking of Mikasa and Armin. The two closest to being his family. Siesta immediately hugged Eren who then began to sob. Siesta patted Eren's back as he slowly began to let it out, sure enough, his sobs turned to crying and then turned to wailing. Siesta could feel him letting out all his sorrow and it was a lot.

Eren Cried for a while before he tried sputtering out an apology. Siesta just continued to hug him tightly.

" I… I'm sorry! I didn't mean to cry like that." Eren said while wiping his face.

" No, It's ok. I don't mind." Siesta said while helping Eren to wipe his face.

" thanks" Eren said with a smile. He wasn't sure where that emotion had come from, but he felt like a huge weight had been taken off his shoulders. Siesta felt like Eren needed that. It was sudden but she could understand. What little he had left was now taken from him. He was alone with nothing and noone. She knew what she had to do.

" If you ever need someone to be there for you like your sister, I can be." Siesta offered. She didn't know why she had offered that to him so easily, but she knew she was doing the right thing. This of course shocked Eren. After a while Eren nodded his head.

" Okay, that would be nice." Eren said as he stood up.

" I better get back to cleaning, I'd hate to be late, waking Louise up."

" Of course Eren, I should be getting back to work too. It was nice meeting you! You should come by the kitchen after dinner to meet the other servants." Siesta offered. Eren thought about it.

" Ok I will. That would be great." Eren replied, they hugged one more time before Siesta filled a bucket with water and was off towards the kitchen again. Eren waved to her as she left. Eren felt a sadness lingering in his heart. He knew things could remain the way they are forever, but the kindness Siesta showed him made his life better. He contemplate on his growing list of friends including tabitha, Siesta, Kirche and even Louise. He knew That he'd have to rely on them for support and hopefully one day he'd go back home.

Louise was walking towards the fountain as Eren was walking away from it with a basket of clean laundry that needed to be dried. Eren looked up and saw Louise who looked at him with a look of worry. Eren could feel a ting of annoyance as he knew she had something to yell at him for. He really wasn't in the mood for that right then.

Louise played with a lock of her hair as she stood there nervously. Her mind had been racing with what she wanted to say to Eren, she hadn't stopped thinking of him and what sort of relationship they had up until that point. She even reluctantly contemplated her attraction to him and decided on something she really needed to tell him.

Come on, he's your familiar. You should just get it over with and say it. Louise coached herself. Eren looked confused but he stood staring back at Louise.

" Is… something wrong master?" Eren asked. Louise felt a surge of panic through her body as he asked.

" I…" Louise said shakily. She was finding it very difficult to say what she had to say.

" what?" Eren asked taking a few steps closer to her. Worry was evident on his face.

" I…. I'm sorry…." Louise finally blerted out.
