Levi waited until the sun began to break on the horizon, before he made the twins get dressed for training. They stumbled a bit, but they were able to stand on their own. Since they were doing strength training, they wouldn't need the full uniform with the belts. They were allowed to wear loose fitting pants, and tank tops. The boots still had to be worn though. Hanji visited for a little, handing Alyk a couple of bras. The girl blushed and wouldn't look Eren or Levi in the eye when she turned around to change. It was fabric that was held together with elastic, and covered the entire breast area. It was good for training and missions, because it held the breasts in place.* Levi allowed them to walk to the dining hall alone, while he went to change into the clothing he wore for training.

The twins held hands as they walked to the dining hall. When they walked in, it was almost full. Armin and Mikasa walked over to greet them, and walked with them to get their plates. The four sat down, and were joined by Jean, Krista, Ymir, Connie, and Sasha. The twins were thrown question after question, and they tried to answer as best they could, while also trying to eat. Armin and Mikasa noticed how the twins were sitting so close that their thighs touched. No matter who they spoke to, they were always touching. Mikasa looked at Armin with a questioning look, and he just shrugged his shoulders.

Levi had joined the veterans a few tables over. Erwin, Hanji, and Mike were talking among themselves, staring at the twins. Levi sat down, and tucked into his food, listening to Hanji ramble. Something about the twins behaviors were odd, even for natural born twins. After a couple of minutes, Erwin turned to Levi and asked how the twins had slept. Levi reported about what had happened the night before, and told Hanji about the nightmares the twins had. He left out the part about he and the twins holding hands and his little heart-to-heart with them, he didn't need shitty glasses getting brain damage from getting so excited.

Hanji didn't miss the way Levi's eyes would occasionally slide to where the twins sat.

After everyone was finished eating, and the dining hall cleaned, everyone went outside for training. It was cold, but the sun was shining, promising a warm day. Levi led the twins to a small courtyard, accompanied by Hanji. They wanted to build up the twin's strength before they were let loose to train with the other cadets.

"Alright, who wants to go first?" Levi asked, stretching his arms.

The twins gulped and looked at one another, and then back to their captain. Eren had never been allowed to train with Captain Levi before, and it terrified him.

"He's not going to go easy on us. I bet he wants to knock out at least one tooth from each of us to see if we can both regenerate it." Alyk's eyes widened as she turned to Eren, hearing his thoughts projected at her. She nodded her head only a little, where Eren could see. "Yeah. But we have no choice. Let's just get it over with, I'll go first."

"Oi, we don't have all day brats."

Hanji sat silently watching, she had a feeling the twins were using their mind-link to talk to one another. She smiled under her hands, thinking of how strategic it was that they didn't need words. It would be incredible if they could both turn into titans, and still keep their minds in control enough to mind-link one another.

Alyk stepped forward, raising her fist. Levi raised an eyebrow, surprised that she had volunteered to go first. "I won't go easy on you, now that you're a girl Jaeger", he said. Alyk's cheeks reddened, even though she was a separate being from Eren, and a girl, it made her mad to think that anyone would go easy on her just because of her gender. Hanji saw the familiar glare, the same that sometimes decorated Eren's eyes, and almost laughed.

Levi saw the glare too, and smirked. Riling up the brats would get them in a fighting mood. "Come on, girly. Let's see what you've got." At that last remark, which made Eren hang his mouth open, Alyk lunged at Levi. A growl formed in her throat, and she threw two fast jabs, aiming for Levi's ribs and face. He blocked easily.

The Captain took this chance to swipe his leg, hitting the back of Alyk's knee, which knocked her to the ground. When he went to punch her, she rolled away, getting up quickly. Levi was impressed, thinking she had retained some of Eren's training in her head. He hoped that Eren retained that information as well. She ran towards him, going for his left side, but quickly changing sides and almost hitting his ribs on the right side.

'Almost got me, brat.'

He swung, his fist connecting with her cheek. She fell to the ground, breathing heavily, blood beginning to pool onto the ground from her mouth. He walked over to Alyk, and when she tried to get up, he kicked her square in the jaw. The force rolled her onto her back, and she began coughing up blood. As Levi stood over her, she glared at him. He saw a glint of gold, as the sun hit her eyes, and he stilled. The life in those eyes, the beauty had him breathless.

When the Captain stopped, she rolled over and stood, wiping blood from her mouth. She spit, and a tooth fell out. She nearly jumped when she heard Hanji squeal with delight. The mad scientist ran over to the tooth, collecting it in a cloth she had with her. Levi looked at her, disgust clear on his face. "It's a tooth shitty glasses, calm down. Alright, Alyk you're done. You're turn Eren."

Eren swallowed hard, and nodded.

"Alright, Jaeger. You should have more skill than Alyk, unless she got all the fighting skills when you two were split." Levi knew that was a sensitive spot to hit, and he saw the hurt flash across Eren's eyes for only a split second. It was replaced by the glare his twin had worn only minutes earlier, but accompanied with a smirk. Eren wasn't stupid enough to think he could beat his Captain, but he would try to last longer than Alyk.

The fight went pretty much the same. Ending with Eren getting a tooth knocked out, and Hanji collecting it. The twins were bruised and bloody, and Levi almost felt bad that he didn't hold back his punches and kicks a little. But he knew that the twins had to build up their strength, and they had no time to treat them like little kids. He fought the twins in turns until lunch, and when they were done eating, they went back to training. This time, he wanted them both to attack him at the same time.

They both charged him, Alyk sliding to kick his legs out from under him, while Eren jumped to the side to try and jab the Captain's ribs. They both failed, and ended up on their asses within minutes. The day wore on, and when sunset came, Levi told them they were done for the day. The twins huffed, and trudged to the dining hall to eat dinner. After they had eaten, they were allowed to go and bathe. Alyk was allowed to go with Mikasa, and Eren with Armin. After being brought back down to the basement, they were soon joined by Levi, who's hair was still wet from his shower.

The twins stared, mesmerized by the beauty of their Captain. 'Our protector', they both thought at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. Levi noticed the blush on their faces, and felt his own face flush under their stare. "Alright brats, into bed. We'll be doing another round of training tomorrow. Probably for the next couple of months actually, and then when I and Hanji think you're ready, we'll have you two back to training with the ODM gear."

The twins nodded with a 'yes, sir' and got under the blankets. Levi didn't even think about separating them, convincing himself how it was easier to keep on eye on both of them this way anyway. The twins fell asleep quickly, embracing each other.

A/N: LONG CHAPTER! A LITTLE OVER 1,500 WORDS! I TRY TO USUALLY MAKE THE CHAPTERS AROUND 800-1,00 WORDS, BUT I JUST GOT SO INTO THE TRAINING IN THIS CHAPTER.

*THINK OF A SPORTS BRA. BASICALLY.

AND IN CASE ANYONE IS STILL WONDERING, "ALYK" IS PRONOUNCED LIKE "ALEC".
