Taking a deep breath, Levi Ackerman walked through the halls of the castle seeing how clean the place was. Though he couldn't tell if it was by Eren or the rest of his team. A few days had passed since Petra came and told him Eren cleaned up the place by himself. Even though it was hard to believe that the place did look clean.

In all honesty the corporal only made excuses to keep away from the boy. Trying to figure out all these feelings going through him and being around the boy wouldn't have helped. But it has been almost two weeks since they last talk let alone seen each other, he figured it was time to stop running away.

Getting all worked up over a brat is one thing, but it taking this long to get over it? This is not like me at all, even after all this time I still don't know these feelings or even understand them. Levi came up to the brunet's room standing outside of it. He sighed as he knocked on the door.

"Yeager."

No response.

"Eren."

Nothing.

Glaring, the raven opened the door going in. "When I call for you next time answer-" He looked around the room and saw no sign of the boy anywhere in the room. "What the...where is he?" Levi quickly left going around the place searching for the boy.

"I'm sorry Corporal I haven't seen him."

"Not here Heichou."

"Sorry corporal he's not here either."

"I saw him going outside once, but I think he's already back inside."

"He was running from Hanji before Mike stopped her."

"Eren was in the kitchen for a time before he was taken out."

"I believe the last person who saw him was Petra."

Levi ran over to where he new where he knew Petra would be; panting a bit he finally came up to the ginger. "Petra..."

Petra turned around seeing the raven. "Corporal Levi, is something wrong?"

"Yeager...where..."

"Eren? Oh he found one of the meeting rooms, he's been in there ever since."

"Doing...what?"

The woman giggled smiling to him. "Why don't you go find out?" She walked off.

A sigh came from his lips, Levi went off to the meeting rooms to look for Eren. He opened multiple doors looking in each room for the boy. Right when he was about to give up he heard a noise coming from a room. Levi quietly opened the door.

"Day by day
We have lost our edge
Don't you know?
Forgotten is the life we led
Now it seems
You don't care what the risk is
The peaceful times have made us blind."

Levi listened to what he believed to be singing. He came into the room to see Eren sitting on the table with a piece of paper in hand looking to be reading it.

"Can't look back
They will not come back
Can't be afraid
It's time after time
Once again
I'm hiding in my room
The peaceful times have made us blind."

Eren looked at the paper sounding out the words he knew best and when Petra before helped him with it.

"So you can't fly if you never try
You told me...Oh, Long ago
But you left the wall
Outside the gate
So more than ever, it's real.

It was like a nightmare
It's painful for me
Because nobody wants to die too fast
Remember the day of grief
Now it's strange for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice."

Levi leaned against the door just watching the boy sing, though it wasn't the best it still had it's own charm to it.

"Remember the day we met
It's painful for me
Because nobody wants to die too fast
Remember a day we dreamt
It's painful for me
I could see your face
I could hear your voice.

Song for the...relutent heroes
Oh Give me your strength
Our life is so short
Song for the relutent heroes
I wanna be brave like you
From my heart."

Eren smiled once he finished humming softly to himself as he kept reading over the paper his legs rocking back and forth over the side of the table.

Levi tapped his arm before pushing off the door going over to the boy. "Eren."

The boy lowered the paper as he looked over seeing Levi in front of him; his eyes widened when he saw the man. But this was what he wanted, he wanted to be with Levi if not ask what had happened to make him mad with him.

"Look I-"

"D-Dance!"

"Excuse me?"

Eren got off the table taking hold of Levi's hands. "L-Let's dance!" He pushed the table to one side of the room to clear up space for them. Taking hold of his hands again, the brunet began to spin them around in an attempt to dance together.

The corporal was confused as to what was going on, but thinking back to what has happened these last couple weeks he was beginning to understand. Eren was upset, he was worried about how Levi must have thought about that day when he pushed him away. How could it not be obvious?

Has he really been worried about it this whole time? Well I really haven't talked to him since then, let alone seen him...A brat this one is...Levi let them spin around for a while longer before he stopped them.

"That's not how you dance brat." Levi took the lead though finding it difficult with Eren's height, but he managed to lead them in a simple step.

Eren watched his feet following along with the raven as best as he could.

"Don't stare at our feet Yeager." The corporal lifted up his chin making the boy look into his eyes. "Keep looking at me."

Forest green eyes stared back into charcoal grey ones not once leaving them.

The two danced around the room for sometime just letting their feet guide them across the floor having not once messed up.

He's not that bad, little rough, but not too bad.

"Levi you don't dance often do you?"

"Shut it, I've danced more than you have."

Eren giggled smiling to him. "Doesn't look like it."

Levi rolled his eyes. "Then we don't have to dance."

"No! I-I sill want to!"

"Thought so. Shut up and just keep dancing." The raven kept moving them around another silence coming between them.

"Um-"

"Who taught you that song?"

"The song? Oh! Petra nee-chan did! She called it...Re...Relu...Relutent Heroes!"

"It's Reluctant Heroes."

"Relutent?"

"Reluctant."

"Re...lu...c...tant?"

Levi nodded. "Reluctant."

"Reluctant!" Eren smiled to him bouncing a bit.

A very small smile came to the raven's lips. "Yeah...Reluctant Heroes."

The brunet stopped their dancing holding Levi's hands. "Levi...do you hate me?"

"Do I hate you?"

He nodded biting his lip. "B-Because w-we haven't talked o-or be together for a-a long t-time...I-I thought you h-hated me..."

Levi stared back at him watching his movements and facial expression, so it was true... "No Eren I don't hate you, and it's only been a couple weeks."

"Then why-"

"I ignored you because I had a lot of things going through my mind. I was confused on things and I needed to be alone to figure them out. But I never hated you, instead I managed to figure out what I needed."

"S-So then...w-we..."

A sigh came from his lips. "Yes, we can see each other again."

Eren squealed hugging Levi. "Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Oi Oi personal space."

The brunet didn't listen as he just hugged the man tightly not letting go.

Levi sighed once more as he patted his back. "What am I gonna do with you?"

"Let me be with you from now on?"

"Do you even know what that implies?"

"That me and Heichou will play together more?"

"You really are a brat."

"S-Stop calling me that I'm not!"

"Course you are kid."

"No I'm not! Leviiii!"

The man chuckled a bit at Eren's whining, a soft smile coming to his lips. I guess I can get use to this, more or less.
