Hopefully this will be a bit longer and more enjoyable.


Rin rubbed and wrapped his bruises. Complaining the whole time as they walked back from "decorating" Levi's room. What Eren didn't know was after he left he added one little picture, just one thing that would make the prank amazing.

"Seriously did you have to do that?" Eren asked rubbing his arm, which still ached after he slipped on some soap. Rin shushed him. "Bro, don't talk about it!" Eren rolled his eyes and snapped back "Now I wonder who he is going to think did that. Oh no not possibly the boy he just handed his ass to."

Rin just snorted. 'Trust me, he'll think Zoe did it for sure.' He thought with a evil grin.

"So," Eren said bringing Rin out of his thoughts. " cooking or gardening?" Rin turned toward him "Huh?" he asked.

"Knew it." Eren mumbled under his breath " We do have chores, and it's either cooking or gardening." he said louder.

"Cooking, definitely. "Rin replied.


Levi POV

Levi grinned silently as he strode down the hallway,still fiddling with his cuffs. He felt much better after fighting and beating Rin. Cleaning was good for managing stress, but fighting could be just as enjoyable.

'But why does no one seem to see how different he looks?' he thought. 'I just need to take a nap.' he thought tiredly as he swung open the door.

With a gasp his foot his a bar of soap. He flailed his arms trying yo stay upright but he slipped and fell. Right into a cloud of baking soda. "Fuck!" he gasped coughing hard. "Rin!" he yelled.

When he opened his eyes he saw a picture of Eren, sleeping arms spread out. A large blush spread across his face. " Zoe!" he yelled.


"Wow you're really good at cooking Rin." Eren commented as he leaned against the counter,snacking on a carrot. Rin looked up from cutting vegetables and glared. "Stop eating the food! I'm trying to cook."

Eren rolled his eyes and just replied coolly " See if I ever compliment you again."

Rin just ignored him and continued cutting potatoes. Eren kicked his legs like a little kid. "So let's exchange stories!" he said. Rin turned toward him and just raised an eyebrow.

"What? I'm fucking bored!" Eren said while crossing his arms. "Plus were like the only monsters, we need to stand up for ourselves!" Rin just went back to cutting.

"Fine I'll tell you my story first. So I had like no idea, what was going on. I remember eaten by a titan, and being around the bodies." he shuddered lightly. Rin turned around and smacked him with a spoon. "I'm trying to cook! Plus I don't want to hear it!" Rin shouted angrily.

Eren froze and just stared at him. "What's wrong?" Rin turned toward him and glared "I lost my dad to a titan, I don't want to hear what's it like in a titan stomach." Eren frowned and mentally kicked himself for his stupidity, why in the world did he think that he was the only one who lost someone to the titans? Especially after Petra,Eld, and Oluo.

"Rin I'm sorry . . . I don't know what to say, umm it -" Eren started.

"It's fine. Seriously don't worry about it." Rin said, turning and smiling. Keeping his eyes closed to hide the tears that were forming. Eren nodded and jumped off the counter.

"I need to go practice my titan shifting. See you later." Eren said, his voice filled with sorrow. He turned and slinked out the door like a scolded puppy.

See? You kept smiling.

"Ah shut up." Rin muttered, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. With a sigh he turned back to his cooking.


"Now why did he do that?" Iblis asked leaning forward, trying to catch a glimpse of Rin's face.

"I, I don't know." Asatroth replied unhappily. He was unsettled, why had Rin lied? He was clearly angry and miserable. 'It's not right for him to hold his emotions in like that.'

" Man I want to punch that shifter in the face! Doesn't he know that titan's are bad? That they kill, don't make people feel uncomfortable by describing that experience!" Iblis growled loudly and punched the tree, lightly.

"Be quiet! Rin may act human but he has demon ears." Asatroth hissed at him and pulled him back. Just in time because Rin had swung around looking for the source of the sound. With a relieved sigh,Asatroth drew back. He would never admit it, but he was starting to care for Rin.


"I swore I heard something." Rin muttered as his eyes swept around the room. With a sigh he rubbed his ears and turned back to cooking. He popped the lid onto the pot, and turned the stove down.

"Okay that's good, hmm now what can I do?" Rin wondered as he strode out the door. He wandered around aimlessly vaguely listening the sounds of the mansion. He reached a step of stairs.

"Now where does that go to?" he questioning, slanting his eyebrows slightly.

Most likely to the roof.

"Sweet!" Rin whisper-cried. He quickly ran up. There was a rusted lock, that flaked when Rin jiggled it. However he just pried it open and walked up on the roof. It was covered in leafs and had a few loose shingles.

You know this would be a good hang out. Or a training area.

"Your right." Rin said out loud, observing the area and walking around, creating a space in his head.

"A few railings there, and a little area for relaxing." Rin muttered to himself, holding his hands up to act like a picture frame.

"Perfect" he stated, his earlier worries floating away.


"Why?" Eren muttered angrily.

" Why what?" Zoe asked cocking their head and pushing their glasses up.

"Ah nothing." Eren said quickly a little embarrassed. He was wondering why he was so brunt, he saw Rin was hurt. Yet he just freaking walked away! 'God, I'm horrible.' he thought.

"Eren pay attention! We need to see if hunger or tiredness affects your transformations!" Zoe yelled angrily. Eren jolted and looked up, he was running in laps and he was tired.

"I'm done." he gasped, collapsing in a sweaty heap.

"Great now transform." Zoe replied bluntly.

'This person is from hell.' Eren thought as he brought his hand to his mouth.


"Hmm this could work." Rin murmured, finally done with his ranting.

What's that?

Rin turned and saw a bolt of lightning shoot up in the air, steam soon followed creating a rather tall cloud crackling with electricity. "What the fuck?" he mumbled striding over to the edge leaning slightly over.

The steam started to fade, revealing a tall figure. 'Eren.' Rin thought as he saw the large titan. Bile rose in his throat and he swallowed it, however he couldn't swallow the rising anger that was rising.

Oh yah. He hurt your brother and friend.

"For my inner animal you seem to know next to nothing about me.' Rin thought snarkily. The dolphin stayed quiet but Rin felt a grudging silence. Rin turned his attention back to the titan with a scoff.

The titan seemed to be tired, it's mouth was open and it was panting slightly. It look down and Rin swore he saw irritation flicker across it's face. He was expecting the titan to seem less Eren-ish. But it had his stance and his eyes.

Heck it even had his attitude.

The titan- no Eren started jumping up and down. Doing an awkward sets of jumping jacks. Rin felt the tremors and clenched his teeth.

So huge!

Finally the titan stopped panting even harder. Eren looked down again and Rin just stared as it lifted up it's hand and flipped the ground off. Rin just burst out laughing.

"Yep," he said between gasps "that's Eren all the way."

His laughter soon turned to groans of disgust when he saw the titan's neck open and Eren slip out.

Wow, I never thought of how he shifts into a titan. But that's gross.

"Seriously." Rin agreed.

Well I'm guessing you have some time, so how about we get to work on this.

"I'm the only one that's going to be working." Rin grumbled but climbed down from the roof and raced down the hallway.


"Results Inconclusive." Eren mocked as he searched for Rin. With a groan he rubbed his hair, he hated coming out of the titan. It made him smell bad, even though titan flesh supposedly evaporated.

"My ass where is Rin?" he mumbled searching for him.

"Eren!" he heard Mikasa call. He turned and saw her and Renzo running toward him.

"Hey Mikasa, Hey Renzo!" he called as they stopped in front of him.

"Where's Rin? We just wanted to thank him for the amazing stew he made us." Renzo said smiling as he panted. Eren felt a twinge of unease, they didn't know where Rin was either?

'This could be bad.' Eren thought while biting his lip.


"I finished with the boards!" Rin panted, dropping the last board into a pile.

Good! At this rate we could be done in two days!

"Two days?!" Rin cried. "You trying to kill me-" Rin stopped and frowned.

"What should I call you anyway?" he asked as he dusted his pants off and sat down, watching the sun set.

Hmm, just call me . . . Mephisto.


Oh sheet going down! Not really the only important thing was the roof and . . . Mephisto. Told you something sinister was with the dolphin, it will be explained, eventually. However I need to draw it out.

God for some reason I'm leaning toward Rin x Eren but that makes me cringe just thinking about it. Eren and Levi is my favorite ship.

Curse you, you unfaithful jumpy brain!
