A/N) I swear I get caught up in dialogue sometimes. I Love making all of these characters interact with one another. It's really too much fun and I swear that I run with it! I just want to thank everyone for all the support I continue to get. Even though I learned last chapter You can't please everyone, and I guess my Ereri upset some people. Promise this story is still RiRen. But yeah! I had lots of people support me and say some nice stuff, so I totally found the will to write again! So I hope you enjoy this chapter! If I had to give any warning there is some sex talk and foul words! Lord knows, I don't want to offend someone!

"Eren...what's wrong?" Armin asked. He saw the shocked expression on his friends face.

Levi was in absolute shock still. The line was dead on both sides, as he and Eren both processed the information. The only interruption, was Armin, repeating Eren's name. Levi had a sudden realization of how young Eren was. Why so suddenly would this be a problem? It wasn't like he was filling the void about his niece. No, he really cared for Eren. Maybe even downright loved the brat. He remembered what Erwin had said, you can't help the age of who you fall in love with. Just like Hange explained you can't help what gender, or lack of gender, you fall for either. Levi had struggled with his own sexual identity for too long, and cared for Eren too much, for this to come to an end. That little brash boy with deep aquamarine eyes filled with tears, was his Eren. No, that didn't bother him. His little niece was right under his nose, and now he was dating her adopted brother, that bothered him. He had no one to blame but himself. He and Eren had flung themselves into a fast relationship. It had only been a week. He hardly knew anything about Eren, or who his family was. He needed to connect with them if something serious was going to happen

"Would she meet with me?"

"I don't know, she's never spoken of you. How did you not know? She's Hange's girlfriend!"

"I tend to tune Hange out most of the time. Plus, I had no reason to suspect it was my little Mikasa. I don't ask last names!"

"I-I could talk to her." Eren said hesitantly. "I can't believe I never clicked this all together! You two look similar."

"This doesn't change things between us, Eren. I still want to keep seeing you. I just...I would like to see my niece. Hell, I would like to meet your family."

Eren breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid the age gap, or something, would push Levi away. He didn't want things to get even more weird between them. Then he choked on his tongue "You want to what?"

"Meet. Your. Family." Levi enunciated each word.

"Mikasa is one thing, my family is another. Remember what I said about my dad, and cock sucking shame of a son?"

"Let's show your father where your cock sucking got you. A big shot lawyer, who will take care of you no matter what."

Eren contemplated his words. "Thanksgiving...Mom expects us every year. Maybe I'll ask her to set three extra places this year?"

"Three?"

"I'm not fucking doing this alone. If I'm going down, I'm taking Mikasa and Armin with me. Adopted sister aren't sure what gender she's with, and my best friend with his huge boyfriend." He smirked when Armin spit out the drink in his hand.

"Shouldn't you run that by Hange and Erwin first, brat."

"They don't go, neither do you, old man."

"I see your point. Well played brat. You sure you don't want to be a lawyer?"

"Nah, I would rather be a secretary to a super hot lawyer, and blow him under his desk." Eren said seductively.

"Need a job brat?" Levi asked with a chuckle.

"You are such a perv!"

"I don't need to hear this. I would give you privacy, but in stuck in bed because of my huge boyfriends huge cock!" Armin yelled.

"So says then boy who called you to announce he had sex with Erwin." Levi said.

"At least we weren't having sex while on then phone!" Armin retorted, having heard Levi.

"Brat, you weren't quiet enough!" Levi said playfully.

"You were knuckle deep in my ass while-" Eren was cut off by Armin covering his ears

"LaLaLa! Don't want to hear this!"

Levi let out an actual laugh, and Eren's eyes sparkled in delight. He rarely heard Levi more then chuckle. "Alright, I need to shower and get to bed."

"Alright, old man. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Good night, brat."

Eren ended the call, and sighed happily.

"Not to blow utopia here, but what was wrong earlier?" Armin asked.

"Levi is Mikasa's uncle."

"What?"

Eren proceeded to explain what he knew. He also informed him of the plan he had for Thanksgiving. Armin's eyes grew impossibly wide "You want us, to bring our respective others, to family dinner? Doesn't that seem, I don't know, counter intuitive. I mean, we aren't engaged or anything."

"Mom is always complaining because she thinks we are working took hard, and don't get out enough. That's why mom encouraged me to get a job. What better way then to bring our respective partners to prove we are doing something other then studying?"

"Yeah, I guess it's a good idea. Erwin can't meet my family because they are dead. Better to meet my basically adopted family." Armin picked up his phone, and started to text Erwin.

Thanksgiving was two weeks away. Until then, Eren had to decide what to do about then Mikasa and Levi. He tried to sleep it off, but he just couldn't. His mind was running in circles, and it wouldn't stop. He closed his eyes, and sighed heavily. He listened to Armin's evened out breathing. Nothing was helping. Around one, he heard his phone go off. He pulled it off the charger, and looked at then message

Don't work yourself up over things, brat. Get some sleep and we can talk more tomorrow.

Eren smiled, and shook his head. Somehow, Levi always seemed to just get him. In a way, that put Eren's heart at ease, and he managed to go to sleep.


"Wow, you really know how to manipulate a new medium, Eren." The boy's art professor, Ian Dietrich, was looking over his charcoal picture of Levi "Where did you find such a remarkable man to pose for you?"

"Oh, well this is my friend, Levi." Eren responded. His ears turned red. An annoying habit that happened whenever he was lying.

"Mhm, that sheepish grin says it's much more. What a shame."

"What exactly is the shame, Mr. Dietrich?"

"Call me Ian, Eren. The shame is two delectable men like you and Levi here, are off the market."

Eren blushed. His professor always had a habit of coming on a little too strong. "Oh." Was all he could really say to that.

"Well, I'm giving you an A. You did really well with this new medium, and did an amazing portrait. Could you come see me after class? I have something I would like to speak to you about."

Eren nodded, hoping it wasn't asking for a date, again. He breathed a sigh of relief when Ian went to Sasha's picture with a "What a lovely watercolor Sasha. Is that-is that a potato?"

Eren pulled out his phone, and snapped a picture of the drawing. He was going to let Levi know he got an A on it. He packed up all of his art supplies, and threw a cover over his drawing. He was going to find a way to hang this picture up in his room. For those days he missed seeing Levi's face. He sat down on the stool in front of his easel. He sent the picture to Levi. He was surprised when he got a text back almost immediately

'That's really good, brat. Is that really how you see me?'

Eren smiled at the man's modesty. He learned that Levi didn't really have a high self esteem. He was short, for a guy, so he made up for it in muscles.

'This isn't how I see you, this is what you really look like. My professor totally drooled over you. He wants to talk after class, so I'm bored.'

Levi must have cut out some time for him, because responses came back quickly.

'He better stay away from what is mine.'

'Don't worry old man. I'm your brat.'

'Damn right you are!'

He and Levi text one another for a little longer after that. Eren had a huge smile on his face. Levi really made him feel special and loved. It was wonderful, and made him feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. His phone rang and his heart dropped when he saw the caller ID.
