Heyoo here is the chapter as promised! I hope I will be able to post again before Halloween but hey I'm a college student! Anyway, hope you like it! Also, I have this story scripted from start to finish, but there is a lot of fluffy type shit that I don't have, like this chapters meeting between Levi, Rivaille, and Eren.

As they walked through the winding staircase of what Hange so lovingly called Tower K, she explained the structure of the castle. "The castle is made up of three floors, We are in A section, the first being where you had eaten with Levi and Rivaille. It's called Dining Hall 1A as it is one of four dining halls on the floor. Right now we are headed to your room, which can only be accessed through the second or third floor through either the Great Chamber or 2A and 3A." Hange rambled on, the halls all blending together as Eren tried to remember every tidbit of information. "Is that where all the bedrooms are?" Eren asked and Hange laughed. "Not even remotely. The Masters live in the tower above the Great Chamber so that they can be sure to see any threats coming. It used to be one large room but they separated it for privacy sakes. All other bedrooms are in chambers 2C, 3C, 2B, and 3B. Those are now for us and they used to be for the masters when they were younger. Also for other royals and diplomats from all over. I know the floor plan by heart and you will too eventually." Hange explained and Eren chuckled.

"Very creative naming. 3B, 3C, 2B, 2C…" Eren murmured and Hange let out a long sigh. "Yes, I know. I had such good names for them too! A long time ago I had every room named a sacred name, the naming process itself took so long! Hall Sawney and Chamber Bean and… well for some reason the masters said it was too hard to remember so they gave Erwin the task of renaming everything. Damn titanic bastards…" Hange grumbled and Eren couldn't help but laugh.

"Ok well, what did you call my bedroom than before Erwin changed it?" He asked and Hange stilled for a moment, halting on the step they were on before looking back at him.

"Chamber of the Reine." She answered and continued upward. Eren was confused at the long pause but didn't ask about it, hoping to not interfere on a touchy subject. "Um… I also wanted to know if you knew where Kiaran, I mean my horse is?" Eren quickly asked, worried that his trusted companion was locked outside in the cold. Hange laughed and patted his shoulder. "Not to worry dear! We put him in the stable. The stable boys were very happy to have someone new to tend to, so he is in good hands." Just as he was about to ask another question, they finally reached a door at the top of the staircase.

When Hange did open it, Eren saw that it was to a small bridge connecting the main part of the castle to what must have been Tower K, the Chamber of the Reine. Lights flickering within small lanterns guided there way, causing eerie shadows to flick across the pure white snow.

"Careful Eren. There's a lot of ice here and the Masters would maim me if you fell." Hange semi joked and began walking to the tower, being very mindful of the ice. As they stepped outside and onto the icy pathway, Eren was about to find a spot with little ice to step on but found none. He went to grab the handrail, expecting to put his hand in snow and saw that it was just very wet, but no snow. Hange quickly took notice as the snow stopped falling, and the snow and ice quickly began to melt right before her eyes.

"Um… Hange?" Eren called out and Hange nodded. "Yes… It seems the weather is clearing up once more. Curious indeed. It was snowing as I stepped out here…" She murmured to herself, looking back at their guest with intrigue. "Hopefully that means the weather will continue to get better, maybe the masters can show you the garden." Hange smiled at the boy's elated expression.

"Really!?"

"Really. This is your new room." Hange affirmed, opening a heavy wooden door into a small antechamber that led to an archway with opened doors. The fact that it was called Chamber of the Reine should probably have clued him in on how beautiful it would end up looking.

Eren couldn't believe this was his room. It was large, as soon as he walked through the extravagant open archway lay a beautiful pool on his left. The thing was almost dome-like, nearly as tall as him and looked like the inside of a geode. Beautiful blue crystals twinkled in the light, the mouth and roof of the pool completely covered in roses and beautiful orchids. In fact, most of the room was covered in some sort of flower vine or shrub, it was honestly enchanting and the soothing smell of flowers made Eren relax significantly. He looked inside the pool, noting that it turned a dark blue the farther down it got, but he couldn't see a bottom.

"The water is enchanted." Hange suddenly piped in, suddenly standing beside him. He looked at her questioningly and she cackled, leaning down to splash a bit of the water. "This water will heal any wound you have. Watch." She explained, quick as lightning scraping the back of her hand against the crystal backdrop. Eren gasped, surprised these people even survived this long with the amount of self-mutilation he's witnessed so far. She stuck her hand in the water and grinned at the boy. Eren looked at his own hands, covered in small scratches from the ride over to the castle. He hesitantly placed his hands beside hers. When nothing happened he looked at her with a raised brow.

"Look." She ordered with a laugh. With a huff he obliged and looked into the pool, small, twinkling lights began to emerge, floating up from the deep and towards their outstretched hands. They looked squishy and golden, a hood with tiny tendrils dragging behind them.

"What are they?" He dared to ask, watching in awe at the small glowing creatures that quickly engulfed Hange and his hands. They felt soft and squishy, almost jelly-like as they tickled his hand.

"Méduses. They sleep at the bottom of the pool until they sense pain or sadness." After a few moments, they faded, slipping into the deeper darkness of the pool and Hange took her hand out. "See? Completely healed." She showed him her knuckle, completely repaired and glistening with the water. He pulled his own out and saw that all the little cuts were completely healed.

"If you drink the water it can help you retain your youth, and heal illnesses within. Quite nifty really." She said with a laugh and Eren couldn't help but agree. Very nifty. That could help so many people!

"That's… amazing. Is that what you all drink?" He asked and she laughed. "No no. We are naturally able to take on any form. The age we choose does not reflect our true age at all. But the masters occasionally drink it, but I cannot tell you why yet. That is their story to tell." She finished cryptically, turning to show him the rest of the room. It was made of small archways, beautiful twisting pillars made of marble reaching up to the ceiling. The walls were a baby blue with gold accents of deer and other fauna that was covered with vines. Vines and branches covered the entirety of the ceiling. However, Eren could tell that if he were to push it all away that there would be a vivid painting of the night sky. He could see beautiful golden stars in some of the open areas but hoped that one day he would see it in its entirety. The room was very open and spacious, a bed residing in between two small nooks on either side of the wall. It was a four poster frame, but instead of carved wood, it used what looked like birch tree branches, natural curves as they extended into the nest of vines above. Vines of roses climbed the bedposts and created a woven curtain over the top of the bed. How is this even possible?! The amount of watering this room must need...

The bed was huge and could easily fit all his siblings on it, covered in beautiful furs of what looked like, elk, deer, wolf, and bear. The windows to the left of the bed showed what would have been a garden had the snow stopped falling. They were beautiful stained glass images of birds and deer on the bottom of the frames, a rainbow of colors streaming onto the floor and creating the scene there too. Just beyond the field, he saw a beautiful lake, the moonlight reflecting off the ice. To the right of the bed was a fireplace, an armoire, a dresser, and a nook. The fire was ablaze and Eren could feel the warmth of it from here, happy to get out of the cold considering he wasn't wearing a shirt anymore. Stupid Levi and Rivaille. Making me rip up my only shirt. My favorite shirt! Eren just sighed and looked back out the frosting windows. "It wasn't snowing when I got here, is it usually like this?" Eren asked and Hange sighed.

"It has snowed for a very long time, but today in the early morning after your father left, it all melted. It had been the first time any of us had seen that in years . As soon as I left you in the dining hall for the masters I went to get some sun but found it had begun snowing once more. I hope it will shine again, we all miss the warmth of summer." Hange explained, looking out with him for a moment before turning. "I must go to get the masters ready for bed, I'm afraid. All clothes are in the armoire over on the other side of your bed, and your pajamas are on the nightstand. I know this is a lot to take in, but you will soon learn that this place isn't nearly as bad as you think it is." With that, she winked and quickly left, crossing the covered stone bridge that connected to the main castle.

There are so many things I don't understand. This isn't going how I expected at all! Eren just sighed, looking out at the freshly fallen snow shining in the moonlight, wishing instead to see the garden from earlier. Well, guess I should just go to bed at this point. Maybe a fresh mind will help me in this situation. He thought, going over to the nightstand to find a beautiful, yellow nightshirt. It was of very high quality, silk in a charming yellow with roses stitched up and down the collar and sides. The collar was also trimmed with frilly white lace, small beads that looked like pearls dotting across the front of it. This… they must be filthy rich! This feels like real silk, the expensive kind from China! Pearls are hundreds of Sols, each! There's over twenty here! When Eren stopped fawning over the shirt he sighed and just accepted that these people were obviously rich and he was going to be getting quite the royal treatment while here.

With that thought, he changed and sighed at the silk gliding against his skin, quick to dive into the warm covers. The fur tickled his nose for a moment but as he found a comfortable position he couldn't help but let a tear slip past his closed eyelids.

He may be living the royal life now, in a castle with his own room and all the finery in the world, but it wouldn't replace the happiness he felt at home. When he ate with Sasha, hunted with Zeke, wrestled with Jean, Shopped with Annie and Hitch. When he talked to Papa about his day with the patients. All of it… was gone.

And with that, he fell asleep.

-Beauty & the Beasts-

The stench of death curled vilely in his nose, legs shaking with exertion as he ran.

Fear. Choking Eren in ways he couldn't believe as he ran through the small town.

Screams of people echoed around him as he rushed passed burning and crumbled houses, listening to the cries of anguish as people were swallowed and stomped on.

Titans. He hated them. He didn't know what they were, or how they got here, but he knew he hated them with his very being. The grotesque beings stood tall above him, he could see them ambling about as he turned from street to street, trying to grab him, eat him. He somehow knew that if he got to the wall, he would be safe. They couldn't get me there, right? They can't get past the wall after all! The thought was useless in this situation though and he knew it. After all, for 100 years they thought that, and yet he can hear them biting down, feel the blood splatter onto his skin as he zipped past. The monsters walking through the town were all looking at him, dead eyes and creepy grins all directed at the boy running for his life amongst the bloodstained streets of Shiganshina.

"... Please…" A sudden voice came from his right, soft and fearful that caused Eren to slow to a stop. A young girl with black hair sat there, a beam from one of the houses on her leg. She looked at him with dull, grey eyes, all the fight within them gone as she seemed resigned to her fate as person after person ignored her, running passed the boy towards the gate. Her leg was obviously stuck, but being as she was on her stomach she could do little to lift the splintered beam herself.

"Please… anyone… help me…" She cried… eyes hollow as she watched a titan draw closer to them. Her voice snapped him into action, running over to the girl and grabbing the beam. With a growl, he lifted as much as he could, but the thing was damn heavy. Fuck!

"Oi! This thing is heavy, so when I count to three, I'm gonna lift this as much as I can. Try and pull your leg out while I relive some of the pressure ok?" Eren quickly explained, shaking her shoulders when she merely stared in shock. "Do you understand!?" Eren quickly shouted, seemingly pulling her from her own thoughts as she quickly nodded. With a relieved sigh he quickly got in position, readying himself to lift with all his might. "Ok… one, two… three!" He grunted and his arms burned with the effort, but the girl slowly was able to pull her leg out. With a victorious shout, he dropped the beam and looked at her leg. Definitely broken. Fuck, that means she won't be able to walk let alone run! A loud scream caught his attention, turning to see that only a few houses away, a woman was flailing in the hand of a Titan as it brought her to its mouth. "Shit!"

He quickly bent over and grabbed her, finding her to be a lot heavier than he thought she would be. Once he had her securely in a bridal style hold, he took off. He wasn't going nearly as fast now, but he hoped that he would be fast enough to get them through the gates before the Titans could get them.

"Why?" The girl suddenly spoke, when he looked down he found her eyes boring into his, suddenly alight with a fire that wasn't there before. "Huh? Why what?" He responded, yelling out when he nearly tripped over a severed leg. He clutched her tightly on instinct when he nearly fell but quickly righted himself, breathing erratically with all the impromptu exercise.

"Why did you save me? It's too late if you don't leave me here. They're going to shut the gates soon, and you're not fast enough to get to it. Not unless you put me down. You could reach it, but not while carrying me." She suddenly said, Eren's eyes widening in shock at her words. Is she… suggesting that I leave her here? To get eaten and killed?!

"There's absolutely no fucking way that I'm just gonna leave you here. You'll die!" Eren argued, dodging building debris with as much grace as a drunk elephant.

"But you will live. Do you wanna die?" She asked again and Eren growled. "No! I don't wanna die, and I ain't lettin' you die either! The wall is right there! We're almost there! My dad is a doctor, he'll fix your leg, and you'll be able to run again in no time." Eren shouted, tears going down his face when he saw that titans were slowly closing in on the two. Everyone else seemed to be gone, just Eren, the girl, and the corpses remained on the streets. Has everyone already died!? Have they all reached the wall?! I swore there were people behind me.

"They are closing in, Eren. You have to choose, do you want to die, or do you want to live?" She asked, her hands firmly holding his cheeks in order to force him to look at her. The sound of Titans approaching behind him made him want to cry, but he couldn't give up now. He couldn't.

"I choose to live! If you want to live you have to fight!" He yelled at her, adjusting his hold and running even faster, barely dodging a Titan's hand as it swatted at the two like pesky flies. "Then let me go. You aren't fast enough to outrun them while carrying me. I'll distract them as you escape." She murmured this time, eyes dead serious as she studied the panicking boy.

"No!" He was hyperventilating now, feeling as if the Titans were above him at this point, their hot breath against his neck as death drew ever closer. "I won't let you die! Fight to live dammit!" He screamed, foot catching on a sizeable rock as he began to fall. He quickly twisted himself, not wanting to hurt the girl in his arms who seemed to have a death wish. Faces began to appear above them, hollow eyes watching the two as hands of all sizes reached for them. He cried, turning over to hide her beneath himself, the last thing he could do and hope that they'll think her dead already. "I'm sorry… I…" I'm gonna die.

"Eren… thank you." She said with a smile. Eren froze, unsure as to why she could look so elated, considering they were about to be slaughtered like cattle and eaten alive. Her whole body began to glow at that moment, a blinding light that seemed to block out everything but her voice. "Eren, when you awaken, go to the bower. Find him ." She ordered, his whole body feeling as if it were floating. Am I… still dying? Have I already been eaten? Who is him ? Eren's questions remained unanswered as his mind blanked, and he fell asleep once more.

-Beauty & the Beasts-

"Oi, shut the fuck up! You're going to wake him up, dumbass!" Levi hissed, watching as his idiot twin tried to gently touch the sleeping omega and call him beautiful. Honestly, how are we even fucking related. Fucking moron. However, it would be a lie if Levi said he also didn't want to touch the gorgeous boy. The sun streaming in and reflecting off his tan skin as if kissed by summer herself. His soft brown hair sticking every which way that Levi dare say looked cute. But that doesn't mean Rivaille can rub his grubby hands on him. Rivaille huffed and rolled his eyes, leaning in close and inhaling the sweet omegan scent from the boy's hair. Fuck. This smell is nearly addicting. Rivaille let out a low growl of contentment, caressing the boy's silky tresses one last time before he slowly got off the bed to rejoin his brother.

"I'm surprised, Levi. I thought for sure you would rip me off of him, or go in yourself." Rivaille jested, taking the tray of food from his brothers' stiff fingers and gently placing it on the nightstand.

"Well, I considered it, but then I realized that if he woke up to see you perving on him in his sleep, I would look astronomically better in comparison." Levi revealed, chuckling at his brothers' low growl. Rivaille quieted his snarl and checked on Eren to see that he was still asleep, before glaring at Levi again.

"Ha ha. Very funny." He said with an eye roll. The two brothers watched the omega for a few minutes in silence, taking in the soft glow that the sun seemed to cast upon him. Little did they know, Eren was not asleep.

He had been pulled from his sleep by Rivaille's small touches, which he kind of really liked but he was unwilling to accept that yet, so feigning sleep seemed like the better option. Should I 'wake up' now that he isn't also on the bed? Should I wait for them to leave? They've already been in here for what feels like 20 minutes. Shit. Eren sighed, making a show of stretching. Fuck it. I'm hungry so hopefully, I'll be able to convince them to feed me. Eren then yawned and sat up, slowly allowing himself to get used to the sunlight now that it decided to outright assault his pupils. He heard a gasp and was surprised to see the two gawking at him. Have they seriously been watching me this entire time?! "Um… what are you doing?" He asked, stretching his arms above his head and ignoring the looks it got him as they stared.

"We were… uh…" Rivaille started but seemed to be lost in the small amount of skin that showed as the omega lifted his arms. Levi elbowed him roughly and nodded towards the nightstand. "We brought you breakfast. It's nearly 9 so we figured you would be up soon if not already." Levi explained and quickly grabbed the tray, shoving the tray of probably cold eggs towards the boy, ignoring the twisting feeling in his gut at the cute look on Eren's face. He accepted the tray and smiled. Wow, breakfast in bed. How thoughtful.

"Thank you! Did you make it?" Eren asked as he surveyed the tray of eggs, fruits, and bread. Levi's heart was beating double time at the warmth behind his smile, finding himself yearning to do anything if only to see his smile again. Rivaille was thinking the same, however, the alpha within was growling at not being the one to hand Eren the tray, all credit instantly going towards Levi. That clean freak bastard.

"Of course not." The two answered in confusion, "That's what the servants are for." Rivaille finished, watching expectantly as the boy picked up his fork and took a bite. Both alphas beamed in pride at the delighted hum the omega let slip, quickly digging in before looking over at the two. "Actually, do you guys have a… a bower? In the castle?" Eren asked, confused at their shocked expressions.

"The bower? How do you know about that?" They quickly questioned, glaring at one another. They hated it when they both spoke at the same time like that. "Well… I don't know. I had a dream last night and the girl in it told me that when I woke up, to find the bower and talk to him. It felt real…" Eren murmured, tapering off into a chuckle as he ate a sliced peach. "Ignore me. It was just a dream." Eren was happy to let the subject drop, however, the sudden presence of two beasts on the bed should've told him otherwise. The two were a sudden storm of questions, arms caging the omega in as their words jumbled together in an unintelligible mess. Eren felt fear strike his heart for a moment, his body paralyzed as the two got closer and closer the longer he remained silent. What… is happening right now? Why the fuck…. The tension faded when he took a deep breath, the scents of the two alphas above him somehow comforting, giving him the courage to put a hand over both their mouths. The twins were beyond surprised. Never before had anyone ever covered their mouths to get them to shut it.

"What is happening right now? It was just a dream… no need to fucking… I don't know… get so… close." Eren managed to sputter out, removing his hands to right the tray table, lucky that nothing spilled at the upset. The two looked at one another and nodded before quickly getting off the bed. "I'm sorry," Levi spoke, "we are just… curious. What did the girl look like?"

Eren thought back to his dream, to the girl he had attempted to save, only to fuck them both over. What a strange dream. "Well, she had black hair. Dull, grey eyes. Pale skin… she was very odd. But the girl told me to go to the bower when I woke up. I need to meet someone apparently." Eren remembered the dream almost like a memory. The two looked at one another and nodded again, Rivaille quickly grabbing the tray from Eren's lap and placing it on the nightstand.

"Let's go then."

"Wait, what? Like right now?!" Eren questioned, a pair of hands grabbing his own and pulling him from the bed.

Somehow, this resulted in Eren being cradled in Levi's arms like a child. "O-oi! What are you doing!?" Eren squeaked, hating the fact that his inner omega was simply purring with delight. Bitch this ain't the fucking time.

"We're taking you to the Bower. There's ice out there and we don't want your feet to get cold." Rivaille answered, leading the way into the antechamber and opening the door. Eren wanted to struggle, he really did, but his stupid inner self was basking in the warm arms around him. With a huff he settled, hoping that whatever this bower held would be worth it.


Cliffhangers galore! This was fun to write, but It kinda feels forced to me idk. Remember, if you have any specific requests of things you wanna see (Idk like Rivaille getting stabbed again and Eren trying to stop the two with kisses) or something, please tell me!
