This chapter takes place a few weeks after the club incident.

Present Day

Levi strolled into Dr. Smith's office anxious of all things. Why? He didn't know. It was just therapy. It's not like the Doctor could go about spreading his business, right? The receptionist Petra gave a bright smile as per usual.

"Hello Levi! Decided to come alone I see."

"What are you going on about Ral?" Levi was rubbing a shoulder trying to relieve tension.

What Dr. Smith didn't know was that Petra used to be a spy as well. In fact she was a top agent under Levi's team, her specialty wardrobe & disguises. That is until she got pregnant. She immediately withdrew from the spying industry and took a full time job as Dr. Smith's assistant. She's also one of Levi's best friends.

"Oh don't play hard with me Levi. You're never this jumpy. Did something happen after the session yesterday. I mean you and Eren seemed pretty close to me in the lobby." She smirked.

Levi rolled his eyes. "Yeah well that didn't last long. My other life keeps resurfacing old wounds."

"Well you and Eren are welcome over anytime you need a break. Your goddaughter misses you. She walks around all the time with that pony you gave her going, Evi!"

"Hmm. I may take you up on that. What's show she's into again? My tiny pony?"

She laughed. "It's My Little Pony, and no more like Frozen. It takes 3 hours and chocolate milk to get her out of that damn Elsa dress so I can wash it.

"Then I will have Eren pic something out. He's into all that Disney fairytale shit."

Petra gave a knowing smile. "Dr. Smith your 10:30 is here." She spoke into the intercom.

"Go ahead and send them in Petra."

"Right. Says the guy who went on a honeymoon to Disney World. Dr. Smith will see you now." She winked and gestured toward the giant oak soundproof doors and turned back to typing on the computer.

"Tch, since when did you become such a smartass?"

"I learned from the best." She said, eyes still glued to the computer screen.

Levi opened the door slowly and Dr. Smith expression went from welcoming to confused.

"Why Levi, I thought your next appointment wasn't until later this week."

Dr. Smith raised an eyebrow in concern but he grabbed two cups out the cabinet anyway.

"Well, you see Doc, unlike my husband I have a filter. There are some things I would prefer not to say in front of Eren because they aren't always appropriate, you get me?"

"Oh?" Dr. Smith gestured to the couch and Levi accepted with a nod. "What seems to be troubling you Levi? Sugar?" Dr. Smith asked lifting the cup of sugar cubes and dropping two into his cup.

"No thanks." Levi looked over at the clock. It read 10:30a.m. Meaning he had til noon before he had to head into work.

"You seem troubled. Care to tell me what's on your mind?" He handed Levi a cup and sat back taking a sip from his own.

"Well it's about your son, Erwin Jr." Levi kept his attention focused on the cup of steaming tea, warm around his fingers.

"My son?" Dr. Smith kept his focus on Levi waiting for him to continue. When he didn't, he offered him a small smile and some comforting words. "Levi remember this session is just between you and I. Nothing you say here will get back to Eren or anyone else for that matter."

"Right." Levi let out a deep sigh before continuing.

"Well after the previous session, I couldn't talk to Eren for some reason without feeling guilty. It's just he deserves so much better you know? I mean I still have my ex's sending me gifts." He rolled his eyes.

"Erwin is still sending you gifts?" Dr. Smith sat up a bit straighter at this. As if that were possible.

"Well not recently but I did receive a pretty nice Rolex about a month ago. Eren didn't know about it, but it freaked me out so much I got it engraved and gave it to him as a gift. He wears it everywhere."

"I see." Levi noticed Dr. Smith's finger slightly twitch, but his expression didn't change.

"I called Erwin yesterday fucking furious, demanding to know why he sent me the car in the first place. All he could say was sorry, but the way he said it pissed me off even more. Almost like he was proud of what he did."

Dr. Smith's lifted the cup to his mouth, concealing his amused smirk behind the rim..

"Well, Erwin's always been a bit proud and stubborn. He's never afraid to go after what he wants. Something he gets from me I'm afraid." He gave an apologetic look and set down his cup.

"Yeah, no kidding. " Levi rolled his eyes.

Dr. Smith watched Levi for a minute and finally came to a decision.

"How would you feel if I talked to him for you? I could find out where his feelings are and see if he's someone you should be worried about. It's the least I could do for what he's done to your marriage."

Levi was shocked. Like who the hell does this? "You don't have to do that Doc, I assure you I can talk to him on my own." He said slightly offended.

"Oh? And how's that turning out for you?" Erwin raised an eyebrow and picked up his teacup once again. "Levi, he doesn't even have to know it's about you. You will remain anonymous and it will be just like father son bonding."

Levi couldn't believe what he was hearing. Seriously, who does this kind of shit? Special treatment because he banged the guy's son, fucking yeah right.

"Trust me Levi. If he still seems interested in you then I will let you know. If not then this conversation never happened and then I'm afraid you have another admirer on your hands." He smirked.

"Tch, whatever. If you're so interested, I'm not going to stop you. Just make sure Eren doesn't find out about this." He pointed a finger in Dr. Smith's direction.

"Of course Levi." He watched Levi take a sip of his tea. "But tell me something. Why the all guilt all of a sudden?"

"Excuse me?"

"I mean is it perhaps you might still have feelings for Erwin?"

Now that comment hit a nerve. Who the hell did this doctor think he was? Of course he didn't have fucking feelings for Erwin. This guy thought his son walked on water or something. But Levi being the cool fucker he is wouldn't let the doctor see his inner turmoil. He took a deep breath and gave the doctor a cold stare.

"Let me be clear Dr. Smith. I love my husband. I want him to be happy. Sure there are times when I may or may not want to- (he ran a finger across his neck and make a clicking noise with his tongue)- take him out and vice versa, which is why we have you. There is a reason I'm here alone. Some things you just don't discuss with your secret agent husband."

Dr. Smith's eyes widened slightly at the confession. "I see." He cleared his throat. "Mr. Ackerman if you don't mind me asking how did Eren handle the news when he found out you weren't really a lawyer? I mean he couldn't have been happy and vice versa."

That question wasn't what Levi was expecting, although he was grateful for the subject change. "Well you see that actually just happened recently, which is why he scheduled us an appointment to see you. I'm sure you've realized you were not my first choice, but we are aware you are the best in high profile therapy."

"Well yes I can definitely understand that. Except, I mean Eren seems to be extremely observant, so I wouldn't be surprised if his reaction to finding out his husband of 3 or 4 years was not in fact a lawyer, but a spy, was less than friendly. "

"Oh you have no idea. It only got worse when he found out I was working with Erwin."

"Are you saying they never met before?"

"Erwin thought it would be best if he didn't attend the wedding and stayed away from Eren in general, mainly for himself. He's very jealous when he wants to be. But to answer your question, Erwin and Eren have only met once, and it wasn't under the best circumstances."

"Oh, how so?" He asked.

"Well that same night Eren found out about me, I also found out Eren was a spy. He was in disguise working a case. Erwin was also there undercover as my backup."

"I see." Dr. Smith was listening intently at that information.

"Yeah, and I still never found out the reason Eren was there. When we talked later he said it was confidential information. I've been on high alert ever since though."

"I'm sorry, high alert?"

"It means I was fucking paranoid out of my mind."

Dr. Smith chuckled. "Oh well excuse my ignorance, I'm not exactly familiar with spy lingo."

"Yeah well I'm jealous of your ignorance." Levi huffed and sank further into his chair.

"So was it that you were worried Eren was plotting something anyway? Did anyone else find out about your identities during this incident?"

"Well I only know of three. They were on Eren's team but other than that no. We haven't been bothered since, but I did get chewed out for not completing my mission."

"I see. This life of yours sounds very exciting at least. I must admit you two are the first spies I've had as clients so this is all very interesting." Dr. Smith gave an awed smile and took a sip of his tea.

Levi snorted and tried not to roll his eyes. "Believe me doc it's not all its not all its cracked up to be. I travel all the time, I get home late, sometimes not at all, and after seeing some of the guys Eren has as friends I'm surprised our marriage has lasted this long. He could honestly do a lot better." Levi look lost staring outside the window.

Dr. Smith tapped his finger on his teacup and studied Levi. This seemed to be affecting him more than he let on their last session.

"Levi, from what I've noticed about Eren is that he is very passionate about things he believes in. For example, making sure you were comfortable on your honeymoon, the meaning behind the note, keeping you out of danger by not disclosing information, making you come to therapy, I mean he still makes time to cook your dinner! Levi if I've noticed anything from listening to Eren is that he is extremely passionate about you. And believe me someone like Eren would've found another man by now if he wanted to, and it wouldn't be hard with his personality and dedication."

"Was that supposed to make me feel better? Because if fucking didn't." Now he was rolling his eyes.

"My point is that he's been trying. Eren brought you here and Eren is trying to make it work. Every marriage has ups and downs. Yours just happen to be my husbands a spy. Well guess what, so is Eren's but he's trying to make it work. My point is that fate brought you two together for reasons we'll never know, but try being more appreciative will you?" Levi just stared at Dr. Smith with wide doe eyes.

It's possible he hasn't been as appreciative as he could've been. If Eren weren't so damn persistent he probably wouldn't have even come to therapy. Just then his phone went off, notifying him of a text.

From Eren:

"Hey babe, what would you like for dinner tonight?" -11:45a.m.

"Hmm maybe you're right. Well Doc, that was a nice chat but I have somewhere to be."

"Of course Levi, you're always welcome to stop by. With an appointment of course." He added on with a light chuckle.

"Sure thing." Levi said, typing out a reply to Eren's earlier message.

To Eren:

"Chose whatever you like. I'll even help you prepare it when I get home." -11:48a.m.

"Oh, and I will be sure to keep you updated on Erwin Jr. For now just try to relax and enjoy time with your husband."

"You make it sound like I'm dying." Levi deadpanned.

"Well no, but considering your occupation and you are in marriage counseling it seemed appropriate."

"Touche." Levi smirked and exited the office.

"Well you seem to be in a better mood." Petra smiled.

"Yeah, well Smith got me." He shrugged.

"Well I'm glad. See you later Levi." She waved and went to turn her attention back to the computer.

"Hey Petra, would you guys like to come over for dinner later tonight?"

"Of course, that sounds great! Ariel would love to see you guys again. I will text you later for a time?" She asked.

"Sure, I will talk to you later then."

From Eren:

"That'd be great! See you tonight!"-11:57a.m.

To Eren:

"I invited Petra and her family is that alright?"-12:00p.m.

"From Eren:

"Ahh I get to see Ariel!?" -12:00p.m.

"To Eren:

"I'm going to take that as yes."- 12:00p.m.

"From Eren:

"Of course it's okay! See you soon. Now I have to stop and get ice cream!"-12:01p.m.

To Eren:

"Brat." -12:01p.m.

"From Eren:

"Your brat. (sticks out tongue)"- 12:01p.m.

Levi couldn't help but smile at Eren's childishness.

"Yeah, my brat."
