When Hange diagnosed Eren's sickness, he had been relocated to the basement of the Scouting Legion's HQ, much to the displeasure of Mikasa and Armin. Eren has become somewhat domesticated, but he continued to lash out at visitors and wouldn't eat. Mikasa and Armin were the only ones who could even get close to Eren, but he didn't let them touch him, and he still growled under his breath as a warning. He hadn't been outside in a month because he refused to wear a leash and collar in order to do so. He received most of his sustenance from water. Levi had to force him to eat whenever he refused to, it seemed as if Eren feared Levi. Levi had been gone for a few days, so the boy/titan hadn't eaten, and now Levi descended the steps with food, a leash, and a collar in hand.

Hange slid up next to him as he walked; he didn't even look at her, "don't bother me Hange."

"Whatcha doin Levi?"

Levi groaned inwardly. "Going to get Eren, what's it to you?"

"Oh nothing, just wanted to know. I think taking him outside is a grand idea, and he could really use some

food."

"Are you going to tag along the whole time?" he asked. They approached the door.

"No, I'll leave it to you," she winked and pranced off.

Levi rolled his eyes and began his descent into the dark and filthy basement. He could hear growling and something banging against the bars.

"What did you do this time Jean?" Levi said accusingly.

"Nothing, I was just asking him questions."

Eren slammed into the bars again, snarling at Jean and reaching through the bars.

"About what?"

"It was just about Marco sir." Jean placed his fist over his heart, saluting his captain.

"You know he doesn't like talking about it," he seethed. Levi nearly strangled the boy for having made his task even more difficult.

"I just wanted to know w-why." He stuttered, his eyes growing moist.

"You're excused Kirstein. Go get some rest." Levi watched him go.

"Thanks Levi…"

Jean climbed the stairs and Levi turned to Eren.

"You're going to eat this Eren. Even if it's against your own will."

He opened the cage and Eren backed away, narrowing his eyes and growling in warning. Levi entered and closed the door.

"And you're coming outside with me."

He held up the collar. Levi made a quick dash towards Eren and shoved a potato in his mouth, plugging his nose so he couldn't breath.

"Eat it or suffocate," he said uncaringly.

Eren flailed under him and scratched his face.

"Eren! Stop!"

He stilled and slowly began eating. "That's what I thought. You better finish it."

He let go of him and reached for the collar, but Eren scurried away into a corner. "You're such an idiot Eren. Do you even realize that you backed yourself up into a corner?" Levi advanced towards him, leash and collar in hand.

"Let's get this over with."

And that was how both Eren and Levi ended up outside. Although, Levi did have a scratch cutting across his face and his clothes were ruffled and torn.

"Brat," Levi growled.

Eren tugged at his collar.

-Thank goodness I have an editor! It was pretty jumbly(if that's even a word). Anyways, you guys are great and my editor is great. That's all I wanted to say. I hope you had just as much fun reading this as I did writing it. Thanks!
