I do not own Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin (sadly)

Note: I now have a beta - Isayama Hajime (user name, not the actual person). She has done an amazing first job and hopefully the grammar isn't too bad anymore.

Thank you Isayama Hajime, you're editing was amazing and I'm looking forward to future updates.


Lucas ran at full speed through the woods. Levi didn't care if Erwin and the others couldn't catch up, they could go to hell. In record time, Levi was in front of the palace and jumping down from his horse, not bothering to look back to see whether the others were behind him, because he knew they weren't. None of them could match Lucas's speed after all.

He stormed through the palace entrance and passed people in the halls, who bowed respectively towards him as he went by. He moved up the stairs and into his room, slamming the door with a loud bang that rang throughout his bedroom.

What had he done? The way Eren had looked at him was filled with both anger and fear. Those eyes, Levi could never forget them. He walked calmly to the window and saw that Erwin and the others had finally made it to the palace. Levi would have to deal with Erwin later. He slapped his mate. Levi hadn't told others about Eren being his mate, but that was because he didn't want people to know and go after the Omega.

A loud knock came at his door. "Enter!" Levi called and the door opened, revealing Hanji as she walked in. "What the fuck do you want, four-eyes?" He hissed. Hanji sighed.

"I can hear your stomping from my lab. Come on Levi, talk to me. What's wrong? Has the news upset you that much?" She asked worriedly. Levi was about to protest, but he frowned at the realization of what she said.

"News? What news?" He questioned and this time Hanji frowned.

"Levi, Erwin went to Shinganshina to tell you that the King, your uncle, has died." she said. Levi's eyes widened as he slowly moved to sit down on his desk chair. "I'm sorry Levi, I thought Erwin told you."

So that was the reason why Erwin was in Shinganshina. Levi shook his head and placed it in his hand.

"I'm not having a very good day today." He murmured. Hanji walked over to him.

"Oh, it's not that bad short-stuff, you're now King and don't have to follow the orders of that strange man you call uncle." She said cheerily, trying to brighten the Alphas mood.

"Fuck off, shitty-glasses! That's not what I'm talking about!" He exclaimed angrily. Hanji was taken aback from his sudden outburst, she could only guess what was wrong.

"Has something happened to your Omega friend?" She asked. Levi stayed silent for moment, but then he spoke softly.

"I broke his heart. He found out about me because of Erwin and now he hates me." Levi said, his voice sounding a lot calmer than how he actually felt. Hanji sighed.

"Levi, what is so special about this boy? So what if you broke his heart? You're a King now and you should be looking for your mate, not living in a dream world with someone who isn't yours." She said. Levi jumped from his chair, throwing it back, and grabbed Hanji by the collar of her shirt.

"You don't understand a thing, you dumb bitch! That boy is my mate. I've known for ten years and I haven't given up on him!" He shouted in outrage. Hanji stared wide eyed at the now King before she blinked and looked down sadly.

"I'm sorry, Levi. I didn't know," She said softly and Levi let go of her.

"No, no one knows because I prefer to keep it that way, so don't start shouting round the palace saying I have found my mate. I'll kill you myself, friend or not." He threatened. Hanji nodded and watched Levi pick up the chair and sit on it again. "Okay, getting back to the topic of my uncle. What happened?"

"Kenny finally passed. We all knew he was going to go at some point, that's why he was so eager for the ball. You're the King now, Levi." She said. Levi 'tched and banged his head on the table.

"Where's Farlan?" Levi asked. Hanji just sighed and nodded toward the door.

"Downstairs. He also heard you stomping around and wants to know what is going on."

"Go get him." Levi ordered. Hanji nodded and walked out the room.

Levi seriously wasn't having a good day today, he was hoping the old man would kick the bucket in a few months, but not now. First Eren, and now his uncle. Levi didn't care much of the late King, but he did bother to take him in when no one else would. Levi was losing everyone. Levi was interrupted from his thoughts when there was another knock at the door.

"Enter." Levi murmured, his head still on the table when the door opened.

"Oh come on, Levi. What happened?" Said a familiar voice. Levi looked up and saw his best friend standing in front of him. He was an Alpha as well, but he had already found his mate in Levi's other friend, Isabel.

"I'm not having a very good day today, Farlan. I need some help before I break something important, for example Erwin's neck." Levi growled, slamming his head back onto the wooden table.

"I'll ask again, what happened?" Farlan asked.

"You remember that Omega I had told you about?" He muffled, just enough for Farlan to hear.

"Yeah."

"Well he found out about me. He hates me now because I lied to him, and it's on the very same day I become King. I blame Erwin completely for Eren finding out. Erwin slapped him right in front of me." Levi said. Farlan sighed and sat down on the desk.

"Yeah, you're not having a very good day, are you?" He teased.

"Oi."

"My point is that maybe you should give this Eren some time. He did believe that I was the Prince at the ball." Farlan said and Levi huffed and sat up, leaning back in his chair. It was true. Farlan had dressed up as Levi during the ball so that no one would suspect that the Prince was walking around among the people. Levi may be short, but everyone was short compared to Kenny.

"It's supposed to be his birthday this week, and I've got to spend it in a stupid coronation."

"Levi, Eren would have found out anyway. You're the King of Maria now, meaning that you would actually have to show your face. Eren would find out from other people," His friend said. Levi sighed. "Let me guess, he's your mate?"

Levi wasn't surprised that he figured it out. Farlan knew him well after all. He just nodded, looking to his side. "I'll say it again: give him time. As for now, I would go and speak to the council if I were you. I'm sure they want to speak to their new King."

Levi nodded and picked up his head. "Thanks Farlan." He said before leaving the room. He walked down the hall calmly and down the stairs. The meeting room was right next to the stairs.

Levi walked right through as the doors were opened for him.

"Ah, Rivaille, I'm sure you have heard the news." Said one of the council men. Levi had learned that a lot of the council were just utter pigs. The only reason why they were still on the job was because they did prove themselves useful at times.

"Yes, I have heard of my uncle's passing," Levi said, "but I'm not in a good mood, so don't start going on at me about a coronation." He said as all the councilmen sat down in their seats.

"Sadly Rivaille, the Kingdom doesn't have time for your mood swings. The Kingdom of Rose has begun to grow restless with Maria, and we need a King now." One of the pigs said. His name was Nile and he was pretty much a complete and utter dick. Levi glared at the man.

"Learn your place, you scum. I can have you replaced if you use that tone with me again. I understand the problem with Rose and have already assessed the issue. I will do my job properly and that is all you need to worry about. After all, all you need is someone to sit in the chair," He said darkly and the council were beginning to get a bit scared. Levi had always been feared at court, even though he was the Prince, and now that he was King, he served as a larger threat.

"Rivaille, we are merely your advisors." Nile said like he was trying to get out of a death sentence. Levi huffed and walked further into the room.

The room was huge and had a large, round oak table in the middle of it. Chairs were around the side of the table, as well as a throne at the far end of the room.

Levi almost glared at the throne, before sitting upon it. Sadly, he would have to deal with his feelings for Eren later because until his coronation, he was stuck.

. . . .

Days passed and it was Eren's birthday. Levi spent the day in a meeting about his coronation, which was to take place the following day. For the whole time he felt annoyed. He could just imagine if Eren didn't find out about him; Levi would still be stuck in a meeting on his birthday.

"Your Majesty, we have gone over plans of what is to happen tomorrow." Nile said, passing over a piece of paper, "We hope that everything is in order for you." Something in Nile's voice always got Levi thinking, it was as if he could hear some venom coming off it.

Levi looked over the plans, "These will be fine," He said dismissively. The council bowed and walked out of the room. Levi slumped back in his chair.

"How are you doing, Aniki?" A voice rang out, causing Levi to look to the door and see his friends, Isabel and Farlan. He huffed.

"Fucking time of my life, and you?" He said sarcastically which made Isabel smile.

"Oh come on Aniki, all this nonsense will be over by tomorrow." She said.

"Yes, and then for the rest of my life I will have more bullshit piled on me. Speaking of bullshit, have you seen Erwin?" Levi asked. Farlan and Isabel looked at each other like they knew what Levi was up to. Levi hadn't seen Erwin since he got back from Shinganshina three days ago and the Alpha still had a bone to pick with him. Farlan sighed in exasperation before speaking.

"Levi, I understand what he did to Eren at Shinganshina, but don't be too hard on him." He said and Levi glared.

"Where is he?" Levi hissed.

"He's been in the training room for the last three days. He knows that you wouldn't go there because you have been so busy lately." Farlan replied. Levi calmly got out of his throne and walked to the door. Both the Alpha and Omega watched as their friend and King walked out of the room. They both felt uneasy and thought it to be best to trail behind to make sure that Levi didn't actually kill Erwin.

Levi reached the training room quickly since he was very familiar with it because, even though he was a Prince, he didn't want be weak. So he spent most of his days learning and enhancing his skills.

He threw the doors open and walked in, hell on his heels as he searched for that damn Eyebrows.

"Erwin!" He shouted when he finally spotted him. Erwin was at the other end of the room, but it wasn't like he was cowering in fear, he just stared at the King.

"You're Majesty," He said stiffly and Levi glared.

"Don't 'you're Majesty' me! What the fuck is wrong with you!?" Erwin stood up as the King strode up to him.

"Ah, I'm guessing you are talking about that Omega in Shinganshina. Well, I was just doing my job. He was ignoring you, acting as if he was equal to you and he is not. You are a King now, Rivaille. You can't have people looking down on you, especially a filthy Omega," He said as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Levi stayed calm, not wanting to lose his temper over something like this.

"Eren is not a filthy Omega, you dipshit. I allow him to treat me as an equal because he is my equal." Levi said. Erwin shook his head.

"I'm afraid he is not, your Majesty, because only a mate can be an equal. That male Omega can never be your mate. He was born as such and is destined to die without finding his other half. Speaking of which, it is time that you bother to find your real mate. The Princess of Sina has sent word that she wishes to meet you. It is time to stop living in a dream Rivaille, you can't marry something like him."

Levi felt sick, he would never tell him that Eren was his mate, it wasn't the right time. And what reason would Erwin have to believe him anyway? Levi didn't want to marry the Princess of Sina. He was once forced to meet the Princess of Rose and she was a complete disaster.

"Erwin, I do believe it is I who is King around here. You are merely the head of the guards. Don't make me take that title away from you, it's starting to go to your head. I will not meet the Princess of Sina and I will find my own way of finding my mate." Erwin stiffly bowed. "Oh and I almost forgot. I do remember that you slapped Eren. I may have punched you in the face, but that was for me. This one if for Eren," He said before his hand collided with Erwin's cheek. Even though Erwin was much taller than Levi, Levi was always able to make him feel small.

Levi's hard slap only made Erwin turn his head, but it left an angry red mark.

"It would be wise never to do something like that again." Levi muttered before walking out of the room, leaving Erwin to his thoughts.

Isabel and Farlan were waiting outside and followed Levi up to his room.

"Levi, hasn't the council offered for you to move to the actual King's room?" Farlan asked and Levi nodded.

"Yes, but I don't want to. That room is too fucking huge for one person." He complained. Isabel smiled.

"So… you're saying that you would move into that room if Eren moved in?" She questioned, a smirk clear on her face that just made Levi huff.

"Yes, I would." Plain and simple. Both Farlan and Isabel were surprised by his definite answer, but Farlan smiled anyway.

"You're really in love him, don't you?" He asked. Levi nodded.

"He's not just my mate."

Farlan and Isabel thought it to be best to leave the King to think over his thoughts and they left the room quietly.

Levi sat down in his chair and stared down at the box on his desk. It was supposed to be Eren's birthday present. It wasn't something extravagant and Eren didn't want money, and that's exactly what got to Levi. Eren knew that Levi had to be quite rich having connections to the 'Prince', but not once did he ask for the money, instead he declined it.

He opened the box and stared at the item inside, before quickly closing it and placing it in the top draw of his desk. He sadly, had more things to worry about. He would have to go back to Shinganshina at some point, but now wasn't the right time.

Levi slowly got up and walked over to his bed. He had a big day the next day and he needed his sleep. But how could he when his dreams were infatuated by emerald eyes?

. . . .

Levi stood in the middle of his room, dressed in fancy robes that made him feel sick. He never wanted to be King, and there he was, wearing the robes that he was going to be coroneted in. Levi didn't get much sleep the night before, but it was enough.

He was dressed in green, for green was known as the royal color. His trousers were a plain white, but his jacket was green that was decorated in buttons. Levi had always hated this outfit. The only good this was that he got to wear a cloak over it. It was a long green cloak that had the Wings of Freedom emblem on the back.

He looked over his shoulder and stared at the wrist cuff that Eren threw at him, on his desk. He walked over to it, picked it up and put it in his pocket.

A knock was heard at his door.

"Enter." He called, Farlan and Hanji walked in.

"It's time, Levi." Farlan said. Levi sighed.

"Fine." He said before walking to the door.

"Just for the record, you look amazing, short-stuff." Hanji said.

"Shut up, shitty-glasses."

Farlan and Hanji trailed behind the soon to be King. They could tell he wasn't in the best of moods as his ears were down. His long black tail poked out at the end of the cloak.

They reached the doors to the main hall and Hanji stopped in front of him.

"Right, come on and cheer up. If everyone sees your ears down, they won't exactly be impressed. I knows it's rude of me, but forget about Eren for the next hour. "She said. Levi glared at the Beta, but understood what she meant. He straightened his ears a little just as the doors began to open.

Levi hated the feeling of the eyes on him. He felt like he was a prized animal as he walked down the aisle. Farlan and Hanji were no longer following him since he had to do this alone. Levi saw the throne and did his best not to glare at the offending sight.

Once he reached the end of the hall and in front of the throne, he turned around and faced his people.

The Kingmaker stepped up.

"We witness today the coronation of Rivaille Ackerman, son of Kuchel Ackerman and nephew of the late King Kenny," He began. "It is now time for Rivaille to take his place as King and rule over the Kingdom of Maria. Rivaille, do you promise to govern the people righteously and protect those who are in need?"

"I will." Levi replied, though he didn't have much choice. He then sat down and stared blankly at the crowd.

The Kingmaker then brought forward the scepter and the orb, placing them in Levi's hands. Although this should've been an exciting moment, he felt extremely bored and just wanted to leave.

"Will you use your power to create law, justice, and in Mercy, be executed in all your judgements?" The Kingmaker then asked.

"I will."

He then brought forward the crown, making Levi stiffen, but not enough for people to notice. The Kingmaker lifted it carefully from the pillow that it rested and held it above Levi's head.

"This marks the dawn of a new era, a new King and a new Kingdom." He said before lowering it onto Levi's head. "Long live King Rivaille!"

Cheering erupted in the hall as people cried and repeated the phrase over and over. Levi just stared at then but he knew that he had a job to do, which he would do to the best of his ability.

Levi stood from his throne and walked back down the aisle. Once reaching the doors, they closed behind him and he leaned against the wall, carefully taking off the crown that rested upon his head. He placed it in the care of Farlan as he walked back to his room.

"Well done Levi, that went rather well. You're now officially King!" Hanji said cheerfully.

"Yeah, it's my lucky day." Levi said sarcastically. Hanji stopped following him and frowned.

"Levi, you are going to be a proper King aren't you? You're not just going to lounge around all day and expect other people to do the work for you, right?" She asked and Levi stopped and turned back to her.

"Hanji, let's make one thing straight: I always keep my promises. Everything I promised in that room, I will do. I will do this job properly and I won't leave the Kingdom to fall, I can promise you that." He said before turning and walking back to his room.

He opened his door and calmly shut it. It was at that moment that he noticed that there was a letter on his desk. He looked puzzled as he walked over and picked up the letter since he did not recognize the handwriting. He opened it and read:

Rivaille,

I understand that it has been a few days, but I wish to say that I am sorry for what has happened between you and Eren. As you may know, it is Eren's birthday today, or maybe it was yesterday - depending on when this letter gets to you. You asked me that day to become your spy to make sure no harm comes to Eren, and I plan to carry out my promise.

I asked him today about how he felt about you, and he was just confused. I am surprised that you decided to allow him to call you by your real name, but I will not disrespect you and continue calling you Rivaille. I mentioned about what you told me about how you were treating him; and you're right, he really is like a scared animal. But Eren has been through more than he says and maybe one day he will properly tell you why he is so afraid of Alphas.

Before he left my house, he told me that he was going to try and change his destiny of you being his mate. Of course, I didn't mention that part. Please Rivaille, tell him the true meaning of mates, he deserves it more than anyone to know the truth. Eren is still young for someone who has seen so much, but he is still just a boy and needs to understand what is going on in both your head and his.

I will write again in a few days. Eren is hardly talking to me so don't expect much information.

Elder of Shinganshina.

Levi put down the letter and sat down in his chair.

Eren.

What was going through that Omega's mind? What had he seen that scarred him so much? So many times Levi had asked him, and each time Eren told him something different than what was going on in his mind.

Levi just stared at the paper before leaning his head back. Not knowing what was in store for him the next week.

. . . .

A week had past normally for the new king. Levi had many new jobs now that he was King and he was executing them to the best of his ability. Even if he was completely miserable with how life was going for him at the moment, he wasn't going to let it get in the way of what he was meant to do.

"Your Majesty, more Omegas have gone missing," Nile began. "Is it time to suggest that we go to war against Rose?"

Levi glared at the man, he was ready to tear his damn tail off, but he remained calm.

"No. War is only used as a last resort. I will send word to Darius, he is their King after all. At the moment, all of you are pointing fingers. We don't have any proof that Rose is attacking Maria." He stated.

Most of the council nodded, but others, such as Nile, looked down angrily. Levi smirked.

"What's wrong Nile? Did my uncle allow you to speak freely about attacking Rose? I can say that I am not a fool, I will not go to war with a Kingdom that has done nothing wrong. Council dismissed." Levi said. Everyone stood up, bowed, and walked out of the room.

Levi slumped in his chair and it was at that moment when Erwin walked up to him.

"Erwin, what is it?" Levi asked. The head guard bowed a little.

"Rivaille, a messenger has come bearing a letter from Shinganshina. He says it is urgent." The blonde Alpha said. Levi frowned and nodded before walking quickly out of the room. A messenger was standing no more than five feet away from the door. He handed Levi the letter before walking off.

Levi looked down at the letter in his hand. He clearly knew that it was from the Elder, but what worried him was that it was urgent. What's happened?Levi walked at a fast pace back to him room, closing the door tightly, before opening the letter and reading:

Rivaille,

This is not something I wish to write about, but it must be said. I have heard from Eren's sister, Mikasa, that Eren has gone into heat. She has told me that it is a lot worse than both her and her mother anticipated. I believe it to be right to send you word of this to keep you updated. Try not to worry though. Eren is strong after all and I believe he has the will power to make it through this. Their theory for all this is because he is a male omega. Male Omegas aren't known though, so we can't be certain, but it is the only answer we have.

I will write to you again in four days to tell you how he is doing. If anything goes wrong, I will inform you as fast as I can.

Elder of Shinganshina.

Levi clenched the paper. Eren had finally gone into heat and Levi couldn't do anything about it. Maybe it was for the best. Even though Levi didn't want to mate with Eren just yet, this was Eren's first heat, and he had to do this on his own.

Levi felt so useless, he couldn't even help his mate in his time of need. He could just imagine how Eren was feeling. Scared, confused, maybe frustrated. But then again, Eren wasn't like other Omegas. That brat was probably trying to make a joke out of it, maybe even mention sexism.

Levi smiled at the thought. He hoped that Eren would be okay, he would have to visit him soon.

. . . .

Two days past and it was the third day of Eren's heat. Levi was feeling frustrated because, even though he knew the Elder was going to send word in two days, he still wanted to know what was going on. Levi felt like something was wrong, like a gut instinct.

He had spent his day going through kingly stuff and had sent a letter to the King of Rose.

It wasn't until the evening when Erwin ran into Levi's room.

"Erwin, what have I told you about knocking!?" Levi shouted, but Erwin ignored him and walked over to Levi.

"We must get you to safety Rivaille." He said in a panicked tone that caused Levi to frown.

"Safety? What the fuck is going on?" He questioned. Erwin, this time, answered quickly.

"An Omega has taken down three guards so far. She is asking for you. She is here to assassinate you."

Levi looked confused and pushed away Erwin's hand that was tugging insistently at his arm.

"Hold on a minute. Let's think for a second. If she was here to assassinate me, I think she was do a better job at going through the front fucking door. What does she look like?" He asked and Erwin stopped panicking to think for a moment.

"She has brown hair, she also has a Beta with her. The Beta has black hair and a red scarf." He answered.

Levi froze and thought back to what Eren's family looked like. Didn't Mikasa have a red scarf? It could have been someone else, but Levi had to be sure.

He nodded.

"Let them in. Allow them to have an audience with me." Levi said. Erwin did not look pleased, but he bowed anyway and walked out of the room.

Levi took in a deep breath and also walked out of his room. He walked towards the council room. It was the evening, so there were no meetings in there currently. He sat down in his chair just as the doors opened.

Carla and Mikasa were being dragged in by Gunther and Eld.

"Let them go," Levi said. "And you may leave." The two guards looked at each other before letting them go and leaving.

Carla looked down at the floor, not wanting to look into Levi's eyes. She stubbornly bowed.

"You're Majesty." She muttered and Levi sighed.

"Please Carla, don't bow to me. All that time I was with Eren, I didn't want anyone to bow to me." He said. Carla looked up at him, then down at the floor again. Mikasa kept quiet. They both looked exhausted.

"We need your help, Levi." Carla said and Levi frowned.

"Eren?" He questioned and Carla nodded. "What happened?"

"Something's gone wrong." She said sadly. "Something has happened which shouldn't have happened."

"Eren's heat is a lot worse, isn't it?" Levi asked, even though he knew the answer. She nodded, but then frowned and looked at the King.

"How do you know of Eren's heat?" she asked.

"The Elder has been keeping me updated on how Eren is. I only do this out of concern." He said. Mikasa glared.

"So why did you lie to him!?" She shouted.

"Mikasa..." Carla started, but the Beta continued anyway.

"Do you realize how much you hurt my brother?! He has enough going on without someone like you stomping on his heart!" She growled and Levi took it all, he knew what he did and he wasn't proud of it. Carla was about to apologize to Levi, when he stood up and walked to Mikasa.

"I am sorry, more than I can say. I know what I did, but I had to do it. I don't want Eren because he's an Omega, I want him because I know that I need him." Levi said. Mikasa was a little taken back by what the King had just said and decided to keep her mouth shut. Levi turned back to Carla. "Now, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Eren's heat has skipped day one," She said. Levi looked puzzled, nodding for her to continue. "What I mean is that day one doesn't exist in Eren's heat. It's like he has gone straight to day two, therefore, he will be feeling a day five. The moment I left him, he let out a scream that sounded too painful for a normal heat. He's going through so much pain, Levi. If all this is kept up, Eren is going to die."

Levi's heart almost stopped, but he needed to stay calm. For Eren. He sighed.

"What must I do?" He asked. Carla looked at him like Levi was the only hope in the world.

"You must go to him. You're his only hope. He needs the smell of an Alpha. We must go now, please, we must-" She pleaded, but she looked like she was about to faint.

"Carla, you must remain calm. I will do as you say, but in the morning." He said.

"But-"

"May I ask how you got here?" He asked and Carla bit her lip.

"We walked. We have no horses so we had to walk as fast as we could. Please Levi, I need to get back to him. I left without telling him that I was coming here. If I told him, he would have objected." She said.

"Exactly. You need to rest. Stay the night and we will head out first thing in the morning. I will send some men over to Shinganshina to make sure that no harm comes to Eren. They will tell me if anything has happened to him. I promise that I will help him." Levi said, but Carla looked fearful.

"You're not going to...?"

"No, I will not mate your son, Carla. I would never take him while he was in his weakest form. I give you my word." Carla smiled and placed her hand on his cheek.

"You really are extraordinary. I have never met someone like you who cares about Omegas this much. Eren is naïve, but I believe you are the best thing for him." She said honestly and Levi just nodded.

"Thank you."

After that, Levi arranged for both Carla and Mikasa to sleep at the palace. Levi didn't get any sleep that night. Eren was in pain and could be at death's door. He was sure that the Elder was writing a letter to him, but Eren's family beat him to it. Carla really cared for her son and Levi did appreciate the compliment that she gave him. He wasn't one for being touched, but it was a nice feeling of acceptance.

. . . .

The next morning, Levi could hear people in the corridor just as the sun rose. Voices of Carla and Mikasa were heard, and Levi could understand. They wanted to get going. Levi got ready and Erwin was ready with horses when he came down.

They set off for Shinganshina straight away. Carla and Mikasa were quiet, as well as everyone else, but Levi knew that so much was going through the females' minds that it felt like they were shouting into the forest around them.

Hanji had decided to tag along in case Eren was in need of medical support, but Levi doubted it. It was just for precaution though so it wouldn't hurt.

As soon as Shinganshina came into view, it was well into the afternoon and Levi could feel Carla's nervousness which in turn made him nervous. Villagers surrounded Eren's house like he was some dying god. Showing that they really did cherish him.

"Rivaille!" Someone called out and Levi looked to where the voice came from to see the Elder running towards him. "I just sent off a letter, but I see that Carla beat me to it. We have a problem." He said quickly and Levi nodded.

"Yes I know, and I am here to solve the problem before it gets any worse." He consoled. The Elder nodded and allowed Levi to pass.

Levi got off his horse and began walking towards the house.

"Stay away from Eren!" A villager called out and Levi turned to see many of them were glaring at him.

"Do you want Eren to die?" Levi asked and a lot of them stepped back. "No, I didn't think so."

He entered the house and the smell of Eren hit him hard, but it wasn't enough to drive him crazy. Carla followed him in and walked passed him, getting a cloth. She handed it to him.

"Wear this if you're not going to mate him. His smell is extremely strong up there and will drive you crazy instantly." She explained. Levi nodded and took the cloth, wrapping it around his nose. He could no longer smell Eren's scent and knew it was time. Carla nodded to him as he began to walk up the stairs.

He could tell that Eren knew he was there as his breathing was quiet and he was clearly holding back. Levi stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and knocked.


And that's chapter 9 done. What do you think of it. Please, I want reviews. I didn't get many reviews this week. Seriously, you don't have to write anything lengthy, you could even write a quick "terrible" or something. I want to know what people think. Anyway, I hope that explained what was happening with Levi while he was away.

Love you lots. I'm so happy I have had loads of followers and favouriters, but where are my reviews *crying like I'm not my age*. Oh well. This chapter was fun to write and I'm currently writing chapter 11; it's got a little surprise for all you weird people, and no it's not smut. I'm trying to pace this story, but I promise you there will be smut and soon, I think.

Remember to review, I don't care what you write as long as you don't criticise the whole story for no apparent reason.

Well, until next Friday.
