Sorry for the wait, I was on my senior trip and had very little time to write this. Emjoy!

Levi's POV

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, and you may now move around the cabin. However we always recommend to keep your seat belt fastened while you're seated. You may now turn on your electronic devices such as calculators, CD players and laptop computers."

After the flight attendant finished her announcement, I turned my phone back on to find two messages, five missed calls, and one voice mail from Erwin. All wanting to know where the hell I was.

I dialed Erwin's number and waited for him to pick up. Mr. Bolo Tie must have been waiting for me to call him because he picked up halfway through the first ring.

"Levi! Where are you? Is everything all right? It's not like you to be this late." Erwin questioned.

"I'm on plane, everything's fine, so please stop asking questions."

"I'm glad you're alright and..." Erwin paused, probably taking in what I just said. "...Wait, did you just say that you are on a plane?"

"Yeah."

"Where to?"

"Germany."

"Why?"

"Hanji found Eren."

Silence.

"What do you mean, Hanji found Eren?" Erwin asked in what sounded to be utter disbelief, Which wouldn't shock me. "He's been reincarnated in Germany?"

"No." I said simply. "He never died to begin with."

"What do you mean he never died? How is that even pos-"

"Listen." I cut him off. "I don't know the details that's why I'm hauling my ass over to Germany."

There was a brief pause in the conversation before Erwin spoke again.

"You and I both know that you're not just flying to Germany to learn the details."

"So?"

"Levi, please don't get your hopes up. I'll inform the Jägers' of what you told me."

Erwin hung up.

I looked at me phone for a minute before shutting it off. I released a sigh and ran my hand through my hair.

How was I not supposed to get my hopes up? All I had ever hoped for was to be reunited with my brat of a lover, and now that Hanji has found him, my dreams of being with Eren once again might finally be coming true.

I remember when we first confessed our love to each other.

It was a snowy day in December...

Flashback

"Has anyone seen Jäger?" I asked the people gathered in mess hall for dinner.

The brat had decided to disappear after lunch and I haven't seen him since.

"I last saw him going outside, sir." Answered Eren's blonde friend.

I made my way to the mess hall exit and towards the closest exit.

Why would he go out during this weather? Granted it wasn't even snowing after lunch, but shouldn't he have come in after a fucking blizzard started?

I eventually found myself outside in shitty weather.

"Eren!" I called out.

It's no use, he won't hear me in this storm anyway.

Suddenly, I remembered that Eren likes to come outside when the weather is nice and sit under the old oak tree. So I decided to continue my search over there.

When I made it to the tree, I noticed a figure sitting under the tree, covered in snow.

Worried, I ran over and shook Eren awake.

"C-captain?" Eren said groggily, his voice hoarse.

"Eren, what the hell were you thinking sleeping outside in this weather?" I questioned angrily.

"I'm sorry, sir." Eren mumbled. "It just, sort of, happened."

Eren was starting to nod off.

"Hey! Don't fall asleep, it's dangerous." I quickly scolded once I saw his eyes close.

No reply came from Eren. I sighed and bent over to pick him up off the cold ground.

As I began the walk back to headquarters, I figured now would be as good a time as any to get something off my chest.

"Eren, are you awake?" I asked to be sure he wouldn't hear my next words.

Again no reply from Eren as he continued to slumber in my arms. I took a deep breath in preparation for my next words.

"I love you, Eren."

"I love you too, Captain Levi."

I gasped and look down, and what do I see? I see two pairs of eyes and smirk on the face of Eren fucking Jäger, who was supposed to be asleep.

I had stopped moving and, without any warning, dropped Eren on the ground. Then I just walked away.

"Ow, Captain! I'm sorry." Eren whined as he got up off the ground.

I continued to walk without sparing a glance back at him.

"At least...now you know how I feel about you..." Mumbled Eren almost inaudibly.

I paused and glanced back at Eren over my shoulder.

"Meet me in my office after you've eaten your dinner."

And with that, I continued my walk back to HQ.

End Flashback

I smiled to myself. That December, all those years ago, held quite a few of my favorite memories of my relationship with Eren.

Flashback

It was the 25th of December, and I was sitting alone in my office reading a book on my couch.

After a while of just sitting there and reading, I heard a soft knock on my door followed by the voice of Eren.

"Levi..." Eren said shyly.

"Come in." I closed my book and waited for Eren to come in.

After a few seconds, Eren came in and sat down next to me on the couch. He sat there, blushing, for at least five minutes while I stared at him.

"What is it that you want, Eren?"

He finally looks at my face and I wait expectantly for an answer to his visit.

"Well, Hange told me that today was your birthday and..." Eren trailed off at the end.

"And what?"

"I thought that I'd give you a present." He mumbled and looked down at his hands that were neatly folded on his lap.

Another thirty seconds of silence.

"Well, what's the present?" I asked expectantly.

All of the sudden Eren's lips were smashed against mine. He kept his lips completely still on mine for a good ten seconds before pulling back, blushing, getting up to leave, and mumbling various apologies on his way out the door.

After I got over my surprise, I laughed lightly to myself at his actions.

Oh, Eren. I'm going to have to give you a proper kiss later.

Needless to say, this is my favorite birthday by far.

End Flashback

That was one of my favorite memories of Eren.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. We are now crossing a zone of turbulence. Please return to your seats and keep your seat belts fastened. Thank you."

I hate turbulence.

I checked to make sure I was fastened to the seat before returning to my thoughts. I could feel the turbulence now.

I closed my eyes and picked up where I had left of in my memories. The turbulence was long forgotten by me as I continued my stroll down memory lane.

Flashback

I hate today. Today was just terrible.

I spent half of my day doing paperwork with Erwin and dealing with Hange asking me questions about my relationship with Eren, but when I thought that it couldn't possibly get any worse, Erwin joined in. At least Erwin had the decency to not ask inappropriate questions. Hange, on the other hand, thought it was totally acceptable to ask if I had consummated my relationship with Eren and if so, what kind of kinky stuff do we do in the bedroom.

I quickly got tired of all the questions. No, I haven't slept with Eren yet. Why? Because the kid is fucking fifteenth. Sex between to males can, and will be, painful. Tack on the fact that he's young and emotional, and you've got yourself a recipe for a problem.

Trust me, I want to, but I can't put Eren through that yet. Besides, I told him to tell me when he was ready and he hasn't said anything yet.

I was approaching the door to my office, when I heard a noise coming from inside the room. I opened the door, about ready punish whoever was in my room. Punish them hard.

Much to my surprise, Eren was the one in my office. Well, Eren being there wasn't what was surprising. What was surprising was the fact that Eren had been cleaning my office.

"Ah! Levi, you're back!" Eren smiled at me.

"Why did you clean my office?" I asked him as I checked out how well he did.

It wasn't fantastic, but it's the thought that counts, right?

"I thought that I could do something for you since you always work so hard." Eren looked at me expectantly. "So, what do you think?"

"It's great, Eren. Thank you."

And for the first time in forever, I truly smiled.

End Flashback

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Frankfurt International Airport. Local time is 8:30PM and the temperature is 52°F 11°C. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about. Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight..."

I tuned out the voice of the flight attendant as I made sure I had my only carry on, which was a messenger bag containing any essentials I thought I would need as I ran around my apartment this morning.

When I finally made it into the airport, I was greeted by the sight of an anxious Moblit, looking at every person he saw. His gaze locked on mine and he quickly ran to where I was, grabbed my wrist, and started to drag me out of the airport.

"I'm sorry for my actions, Levi, but I'm sure you can understand the rush." Moblit had said once we made it to what I could assume was the rental car Hange and him had rented for their trip.

"It's fine. Where's Hange?" I asked the fidgety man as we drove away from the airport.

"She's back where we found Eren. She's making sure nothing happens and checking to see if she can get his vitals."

"How long till we reach them?"

"About an hour."

No more words were exchanged during the drive to Neustadt.

Many thoughts ran through my mind and all of them only increased my worry and stress over this entire situation. All I wanted was to see, hear, and touch Eren again.

I felt the car roll to a stop and watched as Moblit put in park.

"We're here." He said, getting out.

I unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car. The sun was no longer shining as I followed Mobilt to a cave.

I saw Hange standing outside of the cave. Once we reached her, she lead us down into the cave. We walked in a small, dark, and damp cave, with the only lighting being a flashlight, for a good five minutes before Hange came to an abrupt stop.

She pulled me beside her and pointed the flashlight at a skeleton laying on the floor of the cave.

I recognized the uniform on the skeleton and quickly assumed that it was Eren's remains.

Hange must have noticed my panic, because she reminded me of what she had told me over the phone.

"He didn't die, remember? Look closer at the body."

I examined the corpse more thoroughly this time and noticed, with much relief, that a once pristine cravat was adorning the remains.

"That's my body, but what does this have to do with finding Eren?"

"Did you die in a cave, Levi?" She replied with her own question.

I thought back to the memories of my past life and remembered that I clearly died outside.

"No, I was outside. Eren was with me."

"So someone dragged your body down here, and I'm sure you can guess who."

Hange moved the light up to reveal a stunning crystal behind my corpse. She ushered me closer to the translucent structure to reveal a person inside.

The person was on their knees with their hands covering their face, almost as if they were weeping. If this scene was a painting, it would be one of the most tragically romantic paintings I'd ever see.

A beautiful, angelic boy, frozen in time, weeping over the remains of his lost lover.

That boy was Eren and the lover was me.

I slowly approach my lover's prison and place my right hand on it.

"Eren."

Suddenly, the sound of something cracking echos off of the walls of the cave. I feel Hange grab my arm and yell to Moblit to find cover.

Hange flung me behind a large rock in the cave and the three of us all huddled there, with our arms crossing over our heads, ducking for cover.

The cracking was getting quicker and faster, until nothing, but silence, remained.

The silence didn't last long however, and was soon replaced by the sound of breaking glass and shards of what was once a large crystal raining down.

"Whoa." Hange gaped from beside me.

I looked up and saw the shards disintegrating all around, and a lone figure, still on his knees, in the middle of the mess.

I quickly shot up from my spot behind the rock and rush over to Eren. The feeling of having him in my arms once again overwhelmed me with joy.

I'm not one to get emotional over anything, but there is possible way that anyone could not show any sort of feeling they may have in a situation like this.

I watch Eren's face, his eyelids slowly opening half way, revealing curious and tired eyes.

"Levi..." Eren breathes out before falling limp in my arms.

I cry tears of relief, because after all these years, after losing hope, I finally have Eren in my grasp once again.

"Welcome back, brat."

I don't know if there are any caves near Neustadt, but oh well! I hope you liked it! Please let me know what you think!
