Chapter 6: Late night discussions

Notes: Hello Lovelies and welcome back! :) nothing really to put up here xD I am to brain dead to think of much, too much college for Demon! This chapter has lots of Levi yay! Finally we get to meet him and get to know him some. I really do need to write more chapters because you guys are catching up quick to the end of pre-written chapters so I will try to do that this weekend, but I am working on soo many other things it might not happen. Please leave comments I do love to read them so much, and it helps me know that you are enjoying the story 3 till next week!

Even though we were all exhausted from today's events, we all were sitting in my room late into the night discussing on what was said in the hall that day. Jean and Mikasa of course where against everything and where more than happy to fly back down to the keep and forget that this ever happen and continue on with the war. I was thinking about doing exactly on what was suggested, I was ready for this damn war to be over, even if that means mating with someone who I might never love. Armin our little ambassador has said this looks like the best solution to ending this war not matter on how we look at it.

It was well into the night and after much arguing with no progress everyone went to their own room at the end with no real plan for what was to happen tomorrow. It seemed that I had just fallen asleep when I felt someone near me, I jumped out of my bed a call ready on my tongue for the guards. These snakes are smart enough not to kill me here. Right?

My senses were heighted my heart racing at the thought of someone being in my chambers, then I saw a flash of red sitting on the ground. Levi.

"Hello brat, nice to see you awake." He simply stated as if this was a normal occurrence in his life, he stood quickly his movements like water sliding over rocks, "I came here to talk, nice and simple, no alternative agenda from me." I had my back against the wall ready to flee my heart beating out of my chest at being so proximity with a snake, the king of them in the case.

"W-Why d-did you have to c-come to my private chambers?" I silently cursed myself for allowing myself to stutter. Levi cocked his head to one side studying me then took steps to the back of the middle of the room and gracefully sitting back down, "calm down brat, I am not going to bite, so you have no worries form this snake."

I snorted at that statement, "Yes, that is so helpful on calming my nerves," I said without thinking, and when I realized I did say that out loud I blushed, and make matters worse he looked at me an eyebrow raised. "S-sorry," I mumbled, I shook my head quickly to pull myself together, "now the real question what are you doing here? Really?"

Levi relaxed a little more crossing his legs and jester with his hand for me to take a seat near him, "I just came to talk with you brat. With how everything went today, and how fast we were thrown out, which will most likely happen tomorrow as well."

"Talk?" What do we really need to talk about that can't be said in the hall? "About what?"

"About this war, about peace, about you brat." He said in his monotone voice.

"Me?"

"What is this, repeat everything I say? Yes you. Since you and that blond mushroom seem to be the only reasonable ones in the group, looking at everything at every angel. It mostly about what those damn tigers are asking us to do. I would like to know what I might be getting into."

"And what are you think you are getting into?" I said in a dry tone, not really happy on how he worded his sentence as if I was a toy and not a person. It made me mad that this person was trying to create peace between the two people, but treated me like I was not a person.

"I still think you are a shitty brat, and one that will piss me off to no end." He said, "It is a horrible idea that was suggested, and if it wasn't for Eyebrows, I would have been gone tonight and peace would have been a distance dream once again. Thanks to him and his brain, he pointed out this is our only chance to create peace without our deaths, and I hate when he is right." He said with a sight escaping his lips.

I sat there with no words able to express on how I felt with everything that was just said, though I was leaning to terror and anger with the snake before. I wanted to hit him for calling me a brat, but I knew I would most likely die if I was to do that. I felt his eyes on me once again, and he continued on with speaking.

"In honesty," He said his eyes flickering down my body again, "If I was going in for looks I would agree without a second thought, but of course that isn't all to a person. I have to take with it you opinions, and thoughts on ways to rule together, and of course I have to take on the responsibility of your people as well as you have to do the same. This is something that I have been thinking about for years, and I still haven't scratched the surface of anything."

Years? What does he mean by years?

"I thought I once knew how you thought," He continued, "that you were just another young blind brat in the world not knowing what was happening beyond, your room, but then I heard that you held my cousins hand while he was dying singing to him so he would forget his pain. I heard you stay with him till the every end and that you are the last person he saw before he joined whatever gods above. It made me think that you might know what has happen in this war, that neither of us caused, but have to continue." I jumped when I saw him raise his hand towards me. He notice what he was doing, but was mad that I jumped, "Damnit," Levi hissed at me, his eyes flashing red, "I am not going to hurt you!"

I stood up out of instinct to get out of the way of the raging anger of the snake, "I-I am sorry that I can't trust you because your kind has killed many of my people."

"I wouldn't hurt you, if I wanted you dead you would have faced that long ago," Levi put bluntly his anger receding, "I don't think you know how easy it is to slip past your guards in the middle of the night, since no in your keep of your happens to look up. With your heart beats much like a birds our poison wouldn't take more than a minute for it to take effect. 30 seconds to paralyze you, and another minute for the poison to reach your brain to finish the job." His eyes flashed red once again daring me to speak against his words, "but for you I wouldn't do that, I would have taken you pillow that you keep on the chest of yours to smother while you sleep."

I was in shock when he said that how in the world did he know that I had a pillow sitting on my chest at the foot of my bed, how in the world did he know that I had a chest in my room? It took me a few tries to finally get my words to work for me, but all I could come up with was, "W-What?!" I was in shock that he knew this stuff that he shouldn't know, stuff that you could only know if you have seen my room.

Levi once again took a seat on the pillows on the floor, "You know the one with two blue and white wings embroidered into the pillow, which is really nice looking the person who made that knew wh-"

I didn't let him continue, "Who told you about it?!" I demanded, wanting to know how he knew this information.

He raised his eyebrow as if I stupid to realize something, "Are you talking about the skill pillow or the mahogany chest that it sits on. Or the wool blanket used in the winter when the tempters get colder?"

"H-How?" My eyes widening in fear, my heart rate picks up, I back myself away from the man in front of me.

"I have been there of course," he said, "I was there to kill you in hope that it might bring peace to the cured land of ours and the finally I would stop losing my family, but when I stumbled into your room that night murder in my eyes, I stopped. I saw that a knife of my own people had marked you, and that you might not survive through the night." My eyes widen knowing he was talking about that day when I lost Thomas.

"Why didn't you kill me then?" My voice heavy with many emotions.

"It was then I realized how stupid this war was, and it wasn't something neither one of us could stop alone, not with our deaths." He said his eyes saddening at the thought, "it was then that I decided that I will bring peace between our two kinds." He got up suddenly and was near me in an instant, "Promise me Eren that tomorrow you will be at the meeting and give it all much though as I do." I nodded hypnotized by his close proximity that I didn't notice till the last second, his lips where placed on to my cheek. His lips where soft and cool against my cheek, but since I was not expecting the sudden action I could not hold back the cry that slipped past my own lips.

Levi froze at the sudden sound my eyes widening when my door was suddenly flung open reveling Jean and Mikasa. Levi was prepared to fight to get out the room filled with anger birds, but I step in front of him to block him from Jean and Mikasa rage.

"Eren move out of the way of this snake!" Mikasa demand stomping her way into my room.

"Mikasa, no, he means no harm, go back to your room and let him be!" I retorted, "He was here only to talk nothing else." Mikasa growled at me not wanting to back down, but did so knowing that with the snake behind me I was in more danger than if he walks out of my room without having to fight.

Levi offered me his arm so that I could make sure that he wouldn't be ambushed on the way out of my room, and of course I accept to show that I was willing to come to terms with the idea of peace between me and him. When we came by Jean, Levi had to shoulder his way past just to get by him, and just edge him on more he pulled me down again and pecked me on the lips again. Jean growled taking steps forward to fight, but Levi only smirked and walked away before anything could be done.

"Eren." Mikasa cold tone made it known she was not happy with what just took place, "I am dragging you back this intent! You had a fucking snake in your room without calling for help! You could have died!"

"Mikasa, nothing happened to me, he was only here to talk about what is going to take place tomorrow nothing more," I said my voice showed my irritation, "please go back to you room and sleep for tomorrows so we can continue with what was left off on what was said today." I said faking a yawn.

"No Eren we are leaving, no arguments from you mom would say the same thing if she knew there a snake in your room! Jean wake Armin now! And if we have to drag Eren back by his pin feathers!" She said storming her way to her room to grade the few things she brought with her.

That night we left underneath the vail of darkness, of course I was throwing a fit trying to stay but couldn't escape my faith. I hope Levi would not blame me for what was happening. I really wished I could have stayed and talked a little more.
