Purely a fictional story of a fictional story. Featuring Levi x Eren/Rivaille x Eren either way! This chapter's gonna be from Levi's PoV, where he suspects that Eren's hiding a secret from him!? Eren, are you perhaps cheating on your boyfriend... who has not even said he liked you?!

The moment the sun rose, my eyes snapped open automatically. It was a habit from way back; titan or no titan. Not bothering to change out of my (cute) pajamas, I got into my routine of making breakfast for Eren.

That brat is… what would people usually call him… my lover? Urgh. I feel sick just thinking about it. He's like, what, a decade younger than me? Hell!There's no way I'm admitting he's my lover or anything like that!

SPLAT.

"…" I had chopped the tomato with too much strength, and its juices splattered onto my face.

"Good morning, hei – OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED HEICHOU ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Eren just couldn't find a better time to wake up than this moment and mistake the tomato for blood. He placed his contaminated hands onto my cheeks and rubbed the 'blood'. "… eh? Heichou, why does your blood feel so weird…? And it smells like fresh tomatoes…"

I kicked him in his shin and glared as he dropped onto the floor, groaning in pain. "That's because it is tomato, you shitty brat! Instead of roaring like some noisy animal so early in the morning, why don't you go clean yourself up and help set out the utensils for breakfast!?" he replied with a shaky 'yes' and crawled to the toilet.

And this… is basically how you can say my life has been and will be continuing for a while since 2 months ago.

"Oi, Eren, this –" when I was done bathing, I came out to see that Eren wasn't in the house. My first thought was fuck him!, literally. I went through room by room, but he wasn't to be found. When I returned to the living room, I was panting. Only then did I see his tiny note on the table.

"Heichou, I'm going out for today. I'm sorry for not telling you! You can punish me as much as you want later, but please don't drag me back yet!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?" I was so angry I ripped the paper into scraps, not even caring that it'd dirty the wood. "That fuckin' shitty brat! He's supposed to do combat training today!" but… for him to accept any punishment, is it something that important? More important than me?

I felt strangely irritated. If there was a titan now, I'm sure I could slice it into bits smoothly like butter. Honestly… since he said it's okay to incline upon him any punishment, I should do it that way, I guess?

"Heichou, I'm back –"

At last.

Judging by the stars, it was roughly near midnight, which meant that he had been gone for nearly 10 hours since morning. "… Where have you been?" I asked from where I was, not turning to face him.

"Oh! U-um, that is… I, uh... just went to find Armin and Mikasa for something."

Liar.

"Has anyone told you you're a horrible liar, Jaeger?" I knew he was nervous. I could feel it even with my back faced to him. It just made me want to do it more. "You had better tell me where you went and what you were doing today honestly."

There was a slight moment of silence before Eren answered. But his answer was not what I had expected; nor was it what I wanted to hear.

"L-Levi heichou… I really can't answer that… I'll accept any punishment, so…"

Tch. He's really annoying. Even though he's just a kid.

"Is that so?" I stood up abruptly, stomped up to Eren and gave him a pointed glare. I saw his tattered clothing – the clothes I've chosen for him – and lost all control over a while. "Then, get out of this place. Someone like you… get the fuck out!"

All that was left after my harsh words were the silence of the night. The only sound was the flickering of the candle lamp I lit up a few hours ago and our breathing. I gazed into Eren's face, where his eyes didn't meet mine. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. I leaned against the wall with my arms folded, pressuring him on purpose. Finally, he spoke.

"…ve…"

"I can't hear you, Jaeger." Since when was he such a timid rat?

"Visit… my... 's…"

"Louder, Jaeger."

"W-we went to visit my mom's grave in Wall Maria, sir…" he murmured as softly as he could, but loud enough just for me to barely make out the sentence. That's why his clothes' all tattered. Just in case, I peered at him, ensuring that he wasn't lying. Sure enough; he wasn't. I'm sure he doesn't have the guts to lie about this kind of thing too. But… there's something else. "Are you sure there isn't anything else you're hiding from me?" he shook his head like the kid he is and repeated 'no' countlessly.

If he doesn't want to tell me, then fine… I'll get to the bottom of it in time anyway. For someone like him to be hiding something from me, it must be really important. … Whatever.

"Get changed and go to bed already. Regarding your 'punishment'… no dinner for a week, get it?" Eren nodded obediently.

Just as I turned, he grabbed onto my sleeve. "…?"

"H-heichou. I know it's a bother, but… can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Yeah. As long as you're clean," I answered without hesitation. Usually, I would've said no no matter what, but his shivering hand made my brain say otherwise. I'm definitely not thinking straight. I felt like locking him in so that he can't go anywhere, so that he's only where I can see him.

Somehow… this brat is something dangerous, isn't he? He's stirring me up and making me stupid…

Nonetheless, he's hiding a secret behind my back!

Hohoho! There's alot of 'holes' in this chapter eh? :3
