Levi is hit by a blast of cold air as he enters the police station. He shifts his messenger bag as he makes his way to the front desk.

"I'm here to speak with Chief Smith. I'm here to share information regarding the Jaeger case."

"Of course. Chief Smith has been waiting for you. Go down the hall on your right and take the second left. The chief's office is the door at the end." The man at the front desk says, buzzing Levi into the back area.

Levi nods to the man at the front desk before heading into the back area, the door shutting behind him with a loud click. He follows the directions given to him, going down the hall to the right, taking the second left, and walking down the hallway until he reaches the door at the end of the hallway. Levi checks the nameplate is on the door announcing Erwin's name and title before knocking.

"Come in!" Erwin calls, and Levi lets himself in.

"You're right on time. Please, take a seat."

Erwin places a recorder on the desk.

"I have to record everything for the record."

He turns the recorder on with a beep before turning his attention to Levi, folding his hands together.

"This is a witness interview for the Jaeger case. Please state your name for the record."

"Levi Ackerman."

"Thank you. You said before that you were the one to find Eren Jaeger, is this correct?"

"Yes."

"How did you find Mr. Jaeger?"

"I received an anonymous tip. I did not recognize the caller, nor was there any form of identification. They gave me a set of coordinates and directions to bring something warm, nothing else. Since Eren had been missing, I was hopeful… And it was in fact, the right place."

"Where was he exactly?"

"In the middle of the woods on the outskirts of Chlorba. He was abandoned out in the snow wearing nothing but a blood-stained hospital gown. I'd probably guess he was an hour from death at the most when I found him. There was also a cabin not too far away, where I later figured out that he was kept there. After I had found him, I took him home. A few days ago, I went back to check things out, and what I saw matched pretty well with what Eren had told me."

"What did you find in the cabin?"

"Everything, or just what was odd?"

"Preferably everything."

"There was a kitchen, an office, a small bedroom, a laboratory, and then… Eren's room. The office was devoid of papers, but it was pretty clear that there had been papers before. There was also a laptop, which I took from the scene and have with me today to submit as evidence. I do believe that there is important information on here, but it's password protected, so I have no means of getting in at this time."

"Can I please see it?"

Levi pulls it out of his bag, along with the charger, and hands it to over to Erwin. He turns it over in his hands, examining it, before placing it on his desk.

"The password hint is 'the one who started it all.' I have no clue what that's supposed to mean, but hopefully, someone can crack it."

"Thank you. This will prove to be valuable. Tell me about the rest of the rooms."

"After the office, I checked out the lab. The lab was pretty high tech if you ask me, especially for a cabin in the middle of the woods. There was a lot of medical equipment, some centrifuges, microscopes and some such tools. There was also a fridge full of blood samples, all of which I assume are from Eren and even a jar full of teeth…"

"Blood samples from Eren?"

"Yes. Eren claims to have had several injections and blood draws while being kept. He was blindfolded and tied down the whole time, not allowed to get up for anything, even using the bathroom. He also claimed he was force fed his meals and was tortured physically. Things like being cut open without anesthesia, having acid poured on his skin, being burned, beaten, and more. It all sounds really crazy and really fucked up, but his story matches up with what I found. In that lab were those blood samples, and there were washed out containers that used to hold stuff for the injections or strong acids. Then in the bedroom, there was a trapdoor that led down to a room where there was a hospital bed with used shackles, a bloody blanket, and then a table full of tools like a club and a dagger, which all match up with Eren's story. He also has severe muscle atrophy, which would be easily explained if he was restrained for several weeks. His mind's messed up too, and as his therapist, I already recognize that he has severe PTSD from the event."

"Are there any clues to who the perpetrator might have been?"

"No, none. I didn't see anything that tied a particular person to what happened unless it's on that laptop there. Wait, actually, there is one thing. When I visited the second time, I went back over to where I found Eren, and about a meter or two away, I noticed something else in the snow, and I found the corpse of a man. I couldn't recognize his face though, because it was… well, it was gone."

"What?"

"The top of his body was just gone. Not clean cut either, more like something big took a bite out of it. I picked these up from beside the corpse; I assume they belonged to him."

Levi reaches into his bag and pulls out the disfigured glasses and hands them to Erwin.

"Eren doesn't know that I have these; he actually doesn't know that I even went at all. He was too weak for me to take with, and I didn't want him to see potentially scarring things. I don't think he ever saw his captor or captors' faces, but you can try to show him the glasses or something to get him to recognize them. There's one other piece of evidence, an old ornate key, but Eren has it still. It was wrapped around his hand when I found him. I have no clue where he got it or what it means though."

"Is there anything else you would like to state for the record?"

"No, but I want to warn you Erwin, sorry, Chief Smith, that if you decide to call in Eren to testify, I can't guarantee that he'll be able to give you a full account without emotional support."

"I'll keep that in mind; thank you."

Erwin turns the recorder off, a silence falling over the room.

"Levi, what else is there you want to say?"

"What do you mean, Erwin?"

"There's clearly something you want to say to me that you didn't want on the record. What is it?" Erwin asks, meeting Levi's steel eyes with piercing blue.

Levi smirks.

"Astute as always, I see. I doubt you'd believe me if I told you though."

"C'mon Levi, what reason do I have not to believe you?"

Levi sighs.

"Fine. There was something else. Right next to where I found Eren, there was a crater in the snow, about ten meters long, two wide, and a meter deep. There was no pile of snow elsewhere, and my guess is that the snow was melted away."

"That is awfully strange. Why couldn't you mention it on the record?"

"Remember the corpse I mentioned?"

"Yes, the one that was half missing?"

"Where do you think the other half went? I only have one explanation for the body being like that and it also explains that crater. The only thing that could make sense would be if there was a titan."

"A titan? But they've been extinct for more than a century."

"You know what? Nevermind. This whole situation has just thrown me for a loop and I'm not quite thinking straight. Sorry to bother you."

"Levi, it's not-"

Erwin is cut off by a phone ringing. Levi pulls his ringing cell from his pocket with his left hand, eying the caller ID before answering the phone, cautiously keeping the phone away from his ear.

"Hello?"

"LEVI, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Hanji yells through the phone.

"Four eyes, calm the hell down! You're too loud! Can't you call someone like a normal person?"

"EVEN IF I COULD, I WOULDN'T RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK, LEVI?"

"I assume you're at your office right now. I'll just swing by; I'm about five minutes away, okay? You can yell at me in person then for whatever the fuck I did wrong. I'll see you soon." Levi says, hanging up his phone before Hanji can respond.

He brings his hand down away from his face, his engagement ring catching the overhead lights and shining brightly as he pockets his phone.

"Sorry about that. Looks like I have to go. Just ignore all the stuff I said earlier, okay? I'll see you around. Have a nice day." Levi bids, making a swift exit from Erwin's office.

"Levi, wait-" Erwin starts, but Levi's already gone.

Erwin closes his mouth, lacing his fingers together and resting his chin on his hands as he loses himself in thought.

Author's Note: Sorry to interrupt you in the middle of your reading, but there's something I want to say, and I figure this is the best way to catch your attention. Last time I updated, I asked you to read the author's note at the bottom of the page because I had an important announcement, but I assume very few people actually read it because no one replied to my question. I said that I wouldn't update until someone gave me feedback regarding an idea for a chapter, but after a month of waiting, I decided to just keep going because it had been too long.

I would appreciate that if you would at least skim my author's notes in the future. I'm often looking for feedback (including this chapter) regarding certain developments in the story. I appreciate any reviews and feedback that you can offer, because if I don't get any feedback, I don't know if you are still enjoying what I'm writing or not. Even though I have a busy schedule, I try to make it a priority to update somewhat regularly for you guys, so it would be nice to find out if people are still enjoying what I'm making.

Sorry for the interruption, we now return to your regularly scheduled fanfiction. (I'll take this note down or move it next time I update.)

Hanji is already waiting for Eren when he walks in for his appointment.

"Eren! How are you? You look good!" Hanji bellows with a large smile, wrapping the boy in a huge hug, squeezing him so hard that the air rushes out of him.

"I'm doing well. Can you please let go of me?" Eren wheezes out, and Hanji lets go, offering Eren a sheepish grin.

"Sorry… Too much?"

"Just a little." Eren teases, smiling good-naturedly.

"Is the walker working out well for you?"

"Yeah, it's been a blessing! It's nice being able to do stuff for myself again. I don't have to rely on other people for everything. I've been doing the exercises you gave me last week Hanji, and I've improved a lot since you saw me last week."

"Really? That's great! Let's see what you can do, shall we?"

Hanji gestures for Eren to sit down on the same padded table as last time, Eren letting out a small sigh of relief at not having to stand anymore. Despite his ever growing endurance for standing, it was still uncomfortable for Eren to stand for extended periods of time. Eren picks up the hand weights laid out for him and holds them out away from his body as Hanji watches him like a hawk with her clipboard and stopwatch. He drops his arms after two minutes, and Hanji whistles.

"You were right; this is a huge improvement! You've doubled the amount of time you can hold the weights. Now try the other one, with your elbows in by your sides."

Eren nods, picking up the second lift, and this time he lasts two and a half minutes. Hanji gives him a little round of applause as Eren puts the weights back down.

"Okay, let's do some walking stuff! You've been doing so well Eren that I think that if we have time after walking, I can add on some new stuff. How does that sound?"

"Sounds awesome!" Eren exclaims, carefully pushing off the table and getting settled behind his walker.

Eren walks to the end of the parallel bars, pushing his walker away to use the bars on either side of him. Hanji takes up station at the other end of the bars, and Eren starts walking toward her, but unlike last time, he doesn't fall, and he doesn't have to stop to rest at all. When he reaches Hanji at the other end, a large smile on his face, she hugs him tightly, practically swinging the boy around in the air for joy.

"Wow, Eren! You've progressed so far, and so quickly! I've never seen anything like it before. I think I can safely say that if you keep this up, you'll be back to normal in about two more weeks."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah!"

Eren bounces in place, clapping a little then covering his mouth, beaming behind his hands. Hanji, who had been beaming and bouncing with Eren, suddenly stops.

"Hanji, what's wrong?" Eren asks, concerned.

"Eren, what is this?" Hanji demands, grabbing Eren's left hand and examining the ring on Eren's finger.

"This is, uh, a ring?"

"What kind of ring? Where did you get this ring?"

"It's, uh, an e-engagement ring. L-Levi gave it to me…" Eren stutters, using his hands to cover up his rapidly reddening face.

Hanji whips out her cell phone and almost instantly brings the phone up to her ear, waiting impatiently for the person on the other end to answer.

"Hello?"

"LEVI, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Hanji yells through the phone, and Eren flinches.

"Four eyes, calm the hell down! You're too loud! Can't you call someone like a normal person?"

"EVEN IF I COULD, I WOULDN'T RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK, LEVI?"

"I assume you're at your office right now. I'll just swing by; I'm a few minutes away, okay? You can yell at me in person then for whatever the fuck I did wrong. I'll see you soon." Levi says, hanging up his phone before Hanji can respond.

"THAT SHORT LITTLE FUCK! THE LITTLE MIDGET SHIT FINALLY DECIDES TO PROPOSE TO YOU AND HE DOESN'T TELL ME? THE INSOLENT LITTLE FUCK!" Hanji screeched, making Eren cover his ears and shrink away from Hanji.

It's almost as if a switch is flipped inside Hanji, because she goes from angry to calm in two seconds.

"Oh sorry, Eren. I didn't mean to scare you. So, so, so? WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID HE PROPOSE? WAS IS CUTE? TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME!" Hanji cries, guiding Eren back to the exam table and sitting him down to listen to him.

Aaaaaand Hanji's back to crazy as fuck in less than a second.

"He, uh, had called me earlier that day and told me he needed to talk to me, and he took me out to dinner. When I asked him about what he needed to talk to me about, he started talking about how we met and all of the challenges that have happened so far in our relationship that we'd overcome together. He also said he'd been thinking about the future, and that he'd decided what he wanted for his future."

Hanji squeals and does a little happy dance in place before urging Eren to go on.

"At this point, I had started crying, and he stopped to calm me down."

"Why were you crying?"

"I may or may not have been convinced that Levi was breaking up with me instead of proposing…"

"WHY THAT LITTLE SHORTY-"

"Before you get mad at Levi, it was my fault, okay? I was feeling pretty low and pathetic already, and then there were the-... "

"There was what, Eren?"

"It's not important. The point is, I was just spiraling into self-hate and I somehow started thinking that people hated me or felt burdened by me when they didn't." Eren dismisses Hanji's question and continues on so quickly that Hanji doesn't have time to ask any questions.

"So I've just stopped crying, and Levi asks me if he can continue, and I nod my head yes because I just want to get it over with and then he's on one knee next to me with a ring, asking me, and I quote, 'Eren Jaeger, will you do me the honor of marrying me?' And all that can go through my mind is just 'What. What is happening?' because I had been so convinced he was breaking up with me but he was actually proposing to me, which is obviously the last thing I expected, so I was just kinda short-circuiting in my seat but he's still waiting for an answer so I stutter something out to ask him if he was sure he wanted to marry a burden like me, and he starts going on about how I'm his everything and how he's completely devoted to me to the point of not being able to live without me anymore so I say yes. I say yes because I love Levi and I can't live without him either."

"Good to hear, brat. And here I was thinking that I was the only one." Levi quips from the doorway, a smirk settled on his lips.

"Levi!" Eren squeals, jumping at Levi's sudden appearance.

"Hey, Eren. I should have figured that whatever the fuck bat-shit-crazy glasses was yelling at me about had something to do with you."

Levi swaggers over to Eren, standing over him and cupping his hand around the back of Eren's head, kissing his fiancé hard on the lips. When he finally parts from his lover, Eren is a blushing, breathless mess. Eren is still reeling from the kiss when Hanji starts going off at Levi.

"LEVI! WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ANYONE YOU WERE GETTING ENGAGED? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ENGAGED NOW AND YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE?"

"We've been engaged for exactly six days now, so that'll make tomorrow our one week anniversary of being engaged. And for the record shitty glasses, Eren's mom has known for a week now, and for that matter, so has Petra."

"YOU TOLD PETRA BUT NOT ME? I FEEL SO BETRAYED RIGHT NOW!"

"Oh, get over yourself. You are horrible at keeping secrets, and with something like this, Eren would have found out that I was proposing long before I actually did, which would ruin the moment. Besides, the only reason Petra knew was because she was there when I asked Eren's mother for her blessing."

"You asked Eren's mom for her blessing? GAHH, YOU GUYS ARE TOO CUTE!" Hanji squeals, and Levi gives Eren a confused look about Hanji's sudden change in behavior, and Eren shrugs.

"She's been switching back and forth between extreme anger and happiness ever since she saw the ring."

"Oh, that's right! Let me see the rings! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let me get a closer look!"

Hanji grabs both Eren and Levi's hands and drags them closer so she can examine the rings.

"Very tasteful. And they match, that's so cute!"

"They're engraved too…" Eren adds, and Hanji squeals with joy.

"Take off your ring, let me see!"

"I'd rather not…" Eren mumbles.

"Why not, Eren?" Hanji whines, and all the attention turns toward Eren.

"I mean, I want to show you the engraving, and I want to see it too, but I haven't taken this ring off for anything, and I know it's silly, but I don't want to take it off until it is time for me to replace it with a wedding band…" Eren mumbles, his voice growing quieter and his blush growing louder as he continues to speak.

"Eren… That's so sweet!" Hanji squeals as Levi wordlessly tackles Eren onto the table and starts peppering his face with kisses.

"Levi!" Eren yelps, trying to get out from underneath Levi, but not too hard because he's secretly enjoying the attention. Despite Eren's mewls of protest, Levi continues to kiss the squirming boy.

"Hey, Levi~! Do me a favor and take off Eren's shirt?" Hanji asks.

Levi immediately and happily complies, grabbing the hem of Eren's shirt and pulling it up over his head but leaving it on Eren's arms in favor of kissing Eren's now bare chest. Eren arches his back up toward Levi, but he pulls the shirt off the rest of the way and discards it off to the side before gently pushing Levi off of him. Levi makes a face that vaguely resembles a kicked puppy, making Eren sigh.

"Don't make that face at me… I'm here for my physical therapy appointment and I'm on the clock here. After, okay? Besides…" Eren purrs, grabbing Levi's shirt and pulling him back to whisper in his ear. "You wouldn't want Hanji watching us like the little voyeur she is, would you?"

"Dammit, you're right. I'll hold you to your word okay? I want to kiss you silly for being such an adorable brat." Levi growls, reluctantly stepping away from Eren, his sharp eyes eying Hanji and Eren, his hands almost imperceptibly twitching at his sides.

"Wow, Eren, you're good! Levi's absolutely fuming, yet he's still listening to you? I must say, I'm very impressed!"

"So what now? And why remove my shirt?" Eren asks, noting Levi's tense posture from the corner of his eye as Hanji comes closer to Eren.

"Oh, right! Yeah, that's so I can watch your abdominals while you do crunches for me. And by me, I really mean Levi."

"What!?"

"You heard me. Now start doing as many crunches as you can." Hanji giggles.

Eren makes a face and starts doing crunches as Hanji asks, his abs tightening and relaxing as he does crunch after crunch. Despite keeping his eyes on the ceiling, he can tell that Levi is watching him and his skin grows hot under his gaze. Yet Eren continues on as instructed, trying his best to ignore Levi's scrutiny and Hanji's giggles of delight. After about 20 crunches, Eren starts to struggle, small grunts and groans escaping his lips and growing louder as he does more and more. At 26, Eren makes the mistake of looking over at Levi, whose eyes are raking over Eren's body like a predator, unconsciously licking his lips. A shiver slips down Eren's spine into his pants, and Eren stops, his face turning bright red. He notices Levi still eying him as Hanji takes down some notes on her clipboard, and Eren flips onto his stomach, suddenly feeling exposed.

Fuck, he looks like he wants to devour me whole like he's a starving wolf and I'm a big hunk of juicy meat. The look in his eyes is dangerous, so why do I feel so aroused?

"Are we done yet, Hanji?" Eren whines, aware of the slight ache in his pants.

"Almost. I just need to go over your exercises for next week, and then I'll let you go."

Eren nods and sits up as Hanji starts rattling off a list of exercises, but Eren's distracted by Levi's stare and the need starting to throb uncomfortably in his pants. He carefully grabs his t-shirt and sets it down over the small tent in his pants, keeping his erection carefully hidden. He tries to return his focus to Hanji's words, hoping to will his erection away.

"...I know that's a lot to remember, so I'll write it down for you. Also, you don't have to do all of this at once; you can split the exercises up over the course of the day if that helps."

"Okay, thanks."

"Tell your mom to bring you back here again in a week, okay?" Hanji adds, scribbling down instructions on a slip of paper and handing it to Eren.

"Alright, thanks!" Eren exclaims, waving to Hanji as she exits, leaving Eren and Levi alone in the room together in silence.

"So are you going to put your shirt on, or are you just going to leave it balled up in your lap? Not that I mind in the slightest." Levi comments.

Eren blushes bright red in response.

"I g-guess… I m-mean! I know I have to put it on eventually, but I guess I just kinda forgot or spaced out or-"

Levi's lips effectively cut off Eren's words, making the rambling boy shut up and kiss him back. Levi draws away slightly, his breath hot on Eren's ear.

"Don't pretend that I didn't see the way you were looking at me and that I'm unaware of your little problem. Also don't pretend that I don't recognize that we're alone and you're…"

Levi stops mid-sentence to lick a stripe up Eren's neck, leaving behind a hot trail of saliva across the sensitive skin before blowing on it, chilling the spot and sending another shot of arousal coursing through Eren's veins.

"Exposed…"

Levi's hands gently find their way to Eren's body, lightly brushing up and down the boy's torso, lingering around Eren's erect pink nipples, toying and teasing by drawing circles around the bud before brushing over the tip ever-so-slightly.

"Aaahn, Levi…" Eren whines, arching his back ever so slightly toward Levi's touch, his body instinctively craving more of Levi's touch.

"Mmm, you seem to be particularly sensitive… Could it be because it's been more than a month since you last got off? Does that mean you jerk off frequently, Eren?"

"You don't need to know about how often I get- aah- off…" Eren whines, his body growing hot and his situation more uncomfortable.

"On the contrary, I do need to know. As your therapist, it's helpful for me to know a little about your masturbation habits given their... relaxing effects." Levi pushing Eren back onto the table gently and lowering his body closer to Eren's and sticking out his tongue.

"B-bullshit…" Eren groans, as Levi takes a hold of his hands and pushes them gently against the table.

"Oh, but it's true. I wouldn't make up stuff like this." Levi replies, his voice honey and brandy sliding down Eren's throat.

Levi licks a long, slow stripe up Eren's torso, and Eren arches his back into Levi's tongue, loving the feeling of his rough tongue gliding across his smooth skin.

"Mmm… Eren, have I ever told you how good you taste? Your skin is so sweet and soft, but when you're all aroused like this, the faintest note of saltiness taints and compliments that flavor like a perfect sin…"

Levi's tongue walks a lazy circle around one nipple, then the other, before he latches onto the right bud, sucking on it and grazing his teeth over it to tease the boy beneath him. Eren keens before falling into heavy panting, his problem throbbing painfully in his pants, untouched.

"And of course, the sounds that escape those pretty little lips of yours are just as delicious…" Levi growls, unlatching from Eren's nipple to claim Eren's lips with his own.

Eren moans into the kiss, opening his mouth to grant Levi access. Levi's tongue dips inside, charting every tooth, every crevice, every taste bud on Eren's tongue before proceeding to tongue fuck the boy, mewls and whimpers escaping Eren's mouth as it is thoroughly dominated.

"Levi… Please…" Eren begs, softly when their lips unglue from each other.

"Please what, my sweet?"

"It hurts… Levi, please, help me…"

Levi doesn't reply, merely lowers himself to his knees, slowly running his hand over the bulge and applying just a little bit of pressure. Eren whines, and Levi presses a little bit harder in response. Levi smiles a wolfish grin of amusement as Eren begins to weakly buck his hips into Levi's palm, the urge becoming too great.

"Someone's eager, aren't they? I'd be willing to bet you're ready to come soon…"

"Y-yes… Hah, Levi, it feels so good! Just a little bit more-"

The sound of Eren's cell phone buzzing cuts through the atmosphere, halting all action and crushing the mood in one fell swoop. Eren whines loudly as Levi's hand is removed, leaving his problem more painful than before. He picks up his phone, checks the text, and groans again.

"It's my mom. She's waiting in the parking lot, and she's wondering where I am. I have to go, but what do I do about this?" Eren cries, gesturing to his pants.

Levi hands Eren his shirt to put on before removing his zip-up and handing it to Eren.

"Here. Tie this around your waist, and no one will notice."

"Thank you so much! I'll give you back your jacket the next time I see you!"

Eren double checks that he has his phone and instructions in his pocket and that Levi's jacket is secured around his waist before heading toward the door, but a hand on his shoulder stops him.

"Eren, aren't you forgetting something?"

"What did I forget?"

"How about my kiss goodbye?"

Eren rolls his eyes, giving Levi a quick kiss.

"You really are cruel for teasing me like that, and now I have to wait until I get home to take care of it."

"You really should be blaming your mom for being a massive cock-block. I did nothing wrong whatsoever." Levi defends, putting his hands up, a smirk lingering on his lips.

"You know, sometimes I really, like, Heichou." Eren retorts, turning on his heel and walking out as fast as he can (with his walker slowing him down).

Levi opens his mouth to protest, then stops, the joke and hidden meaning sinking in, and he groans and allows himself a chuckle.

"I like you too, you damn brat."

...

"What took you so long, Eren?" Carla questions as Eren slides into the passenger seat, his walker folded up neatly in the back seat.

"The appointment just ran long. Hanji gave me some new exercises to do until I some see her again next week."

"I do believe that's Dr. Zöe to you, young man." Carla quips, starting up the car and pulling out of her parking space.

"It's fine, because Dr. Zöe is a friend of Levi's and we already knew each other before this whole incident. If I called her Dr. Zöe, she'd proceed to laugh in my face then ask me what happened to me."

"Don't talk back to me, mister. Saying that she said you could call her by her first name would suffice."

"Yes, mom."

Eren places his hands in his lap, ensuring that his problem is safely hidden from view, but also agitating it at the same time. Eren sucks in a breath then holds it nervously, hoping his mom didn't hear it.

"Are you okay, Eren?"

"I'm fine, mom."

"Okay then…" Carla replies, skeptically, thankfully keeping her eyes on the road.

After that little mishap, Eren does his best to keep as still as humanly possible on the ride home. He tries to distract himself, but the aching in his pants always brings his thoughts back to what Levi was about to to do him. Before long, the car comes to a stop in the driveway, bringing Eren back to reality. He gets out of the car quickly but carefully, trying to be as fast as possible without revealing his issue or making his mom suspicious. As soon as he's inside, he power walks to his room, practically throwing himself on to his bed.

Eren's about to just pull off his pants and get it over with when he stops, his hand hovering over the clasp of his jeans. Biting his lip, he restrains himself, retracting his hand from his aching need. Instead, he slowly pulls off his shirt before slowly undoing his jeans, sliding them down his legs, quickly followed by his underwear. Now feeling "exposed" and shivering in delight after remembering the way Levi said that word, Eren lays back on his bed, closing his eyes and running his hands over his body, trying his best to mimic Levi's touches.

Levi runs his hands up Eren's sides, then down, lingering on his hips for a moment before slowly trailing back up my front. Levi teases Eren, drawing circle after circle around his nipples but barely touching the bud because he likes to watch Eren squirm…

In response, Eren teases his nipples, his vivid imagery of Levi's playful smirk make it seem like the real deal. He gasps, the pleasure shooting through his body and into his lower abdomen once more.

Levi then trails his hand down to Eren's hips again, leaving soft kisses all over and lingering at the naval. Levi's hands are slender, and just the slightest bit rough, creating a little extra friction than normal… His long fingers wrap tightly, pulling gently in long, slow strokes.

Eren spits into his hand before taking hold, moaning as he begins to pump with his left hand, ecstasy sending warmth through his whole body.

Levi's hands twist and glide, slowly working faster, as Eren's pants turn into low whines.

"Oh, so you like that, hm? Do you want more?"

"Y-yes… More…" Eren whines, lifting his hips in desperation.

"What if I did this?" Levi asks, continuing to keep pace, but latching onto a nipple and playing with it, twisting and pinching it slightly.

Eren gasps, his back arching up once more, in desperation to come closer, be closer, to be one with Levi.

"You're so sensitive…" Levi coos, tugging harder.

"Levi…" Eren moans, his hips beginning to buck, seeking greater friction.

"Are you close, Eren? You're making that beautiful face again. You're red all over, your eyes are clouded by a thick lust, and your lips are parted with each of your heaving breaths in the most delicious way…"

"I'm so c-close… Just a little more!"

Levi obeys, his face the picture of adoration has he picks up speed.

Eren lets out a high-pitched keen, every breath now a needy whine or low groan.

"Show me the face of ultimate ecstasy. Cum for me, Eren…" Levi softly commands, capturing Eren's lips with his own.

With a few final thrusts, Eren's hips stutter, finally coming undone with the shout of Levi's name.

"Levi~!"

"Oh my!"

Through the haze of his climax, Eren barely registers the sound of a door slamming shut. Concerned, Eren opens his eyes and sits up, grabbing a tissue off his nightstand and wiping himself off. He lazily dresses, the warmth of the lingering high coursing through his veins, leaving him feel light and vaguely sleepy. As he gets up and grabs his walker, he notices a lingering soreness in his legs and ass but welcomes the feeling, exiting the room. Eren walks into the living room, looking for his mom, but finds the room oddly empty. He checks the office and kitchen in the same fashion, both also empty.

"Mom!" Eren calls, but there is no reply.

She must have gone to the store or something…

Eren wanders back toward his room, but then he notices that the door to his mom's room is closed, a rare sight in the Jaeger household. Eren makes his way to his mother's door and cautiously knocks.

"Mom? You in there?"

"Yeah…" Carla quietly replies.

"Are you okay, mom?" Eren asks, concerned.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine…"

"What happened? Do you need help with something?"

"No, but I was sure you did."

"What do you-"

And then it hits him.

"Y-yes… More…"

"I'm so c-close… Just a little more!"

A chorus of pants and heavy grunts.

"Oh my god, mom! Fuck, I'm so sorry!"

"Language. And it's fine, I guess I'm a little… shocked… to say the least. I guess it's natural for someone of your age to be engaging in such activities, but I was not expecting to see that when I walked in. Just… try to be a little more discreet next time, okay? Or do it when I'm not at home? I get that boys have needs, but I don't want to know about it."

"Got it. Again, I'm sorry. I guess I just got carried away. You weren't supposed to see that."

An awkward silence descends, until Carla decides to break it.

"So, thinking about Levi gets you all hot and bothered, hmmm?" Carla teases, and Eren's face goes bright red.

"MOM! I said I was sorry, okay?"

Carla just chuckles as her flustered son retreats back into his bedroom.

"I wonder if it's time to tell Eren yet?"

Author's Note: Hi hi, everyone! I know it's been a while since I've updated (for a few reasons *ahem*), but now I'm back, and I should be back to updating on a more regular basis. Please expect updates every other Monday, but I will occasionally post content on off weeks.

For the record, my follower count has now passed 100 FOLLOWERS! Thank you so much everyone, this means so much to me! As a reward, I have a mini-arc for you guys that will start next chapter ("I wonder if it's time to tell Eren yet?"). This will probably be spread over two chapters.

How was the new chapter? Lots and lots of teasing and embarrassing Carla. Hopefully this will satisfy in the Eren and Levi interaction department for the time being. How did you guys feel about the teasing and masturbation scenes? I laid this on thicker this time, and went farther with it, but I want to know how you guys feel about the dirty stuff. i can write explicit dirty dirty fic, but I've never felt comfortable enough to publish it, so i want to know how you guys feel about this advancement. (Please note I never said that Eren masturbated, or that he was imagining Levi giving him a hand-job in the story - I just heavily implied it and your dirty little minds filled in the blanks.) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS TYPE OF WRITING!

Thanks again for reading, following, favoriting, and most of all - reviewing! I look forward to seeing you all next week!
