Any misspellings in Eren's dialogue is intentional and represents his inability to pronounce words in English properly. Enjoy!

Levi's POV

"...Levi?"

"Yes?"

"What...what is this thing we are inside?"

"It's called an airplane."

"An a-airplan? What is that? Will it hurt?"

"It's a big ass thing that flies through the sky."

"IT FLIES!?"

A few of the passengers and a flight attendant gave us disapproving looks.

"Yes, Eren, it flies." I ran a hand through my hair and sighed. "I know all of this is new to you, but please don't yell. You're disturbing the other people here."

Eren sunk in his seat a bit and mumbled out an apology.

A few minutes later and the flight attendant announced our departure. I looked over to see how Eren was holding up, and, well… I don't know if it's possible to describe the look on his face. Something between a cat falling in water, a person who really has to shit, and witnessing a Titan eating your best friend.

As the flight progressed, Eren began to relax more. He just sat there with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping, but I knew that he wasn't.

An hour and a half into our flight and Eren was calm enough for some conversation. He asked me about his friends and after a little bit he nervously asked about his parents. He was happy to know that everyone was fine. I knew it was going to be hard to get Eren used to modern society. It was going to be even harder to teach him English, but I also knew that it would be worth it. Eren will finally get to see a lot of the places he only dreamed about.

"Hey mom, it's the ocean!" A kid a few rows away said excitedly to his mother.

It would seem that we're crossing the Atlantic.

Something clicked in my brain and I realized that the ocean is always something Eren would talk about with his blond friend.

"Hey, Eren. Look out your window."

Eren looked confused, but followed my instructions anyway. I watched his face very close to see his reaction. His facial expressions changed from shock, to awe, and then pure excitement.

I smiled at Eren's happiness.

"It's the ocean, Levi! It's so big! How far across is it?" Eren was beaming with pure joy at the sight of the massive body of water.

"A couple thousand miles I think."

"Wow!"

Eren was very thrilled about seeing the ocean and for the rest of the trip back was filled with questions about the ocean that led to the inevitable…

"Can we go to the ocean, Levi?"

I promised that we would go see it together when he got used to his new life. He later insisted that Armin and Mikasa had to come with us too. I agreed.

We arrived at the airport and since we had no luggage to grab, we were able to make a quick exit.

"No matter what, you do not leave my side. Don't even let go of my hand." The last thing I needed was Eren getting lost and wandering out onto a freeway.

Eren nodded and I led him to my car.

"This is a car." Better start the lessons early. "It's how people get around."

"No horses?" Eren asked shocked.

"Not unless you're Amish."

"Ahmeesh?"

"Never mind." I sighed.

I unlocked my car and held the passenger door open for Eren. After some prompting, he sat inside and I buckled him in. I shut his door and made my way over to mine.

Eren yelped at the sound of car starting. The drive into the city was stressful. Eren was convinced we were going to hit the other cars and would constantly tell me to look out.

After ten minutes of Eren freaking out, I yelled at him to shut up or I'd kick him out of the car. I instantly regretted saying that once I caught the frightened look on his face. I immediately apologized and explained that I was just tired. He relaxed again, but the rest of the car ride was silent. I was going to have to learn to be more patient with him. I'd have to remember that not only is Eren an idiot sometimes, he's now an uneducated idiot in modern society surrounded by things that could kill him. Dealing with that is definitely going to require patience on my part.

I reached for Eren's hand and brought our linked hands to rest on the the compartment between our seats. I used my thumb to rub circles on the back of his hand. I continued to hold Eren's hand in mine through the rest of our journey, simply for the pleasure of knowing he was right here beside me.

I saw my apartment complex coming up and was relieved to back. I could finally take a much needed bath. Eren's going to need one too, so I'll have to keep an eye on him, but I have total confidence that Eren can handle a bath at least. Maybe he'll be hungry too. What should I feed him? The foods we used to eat, I can't give him any of that. Maybe just some tea and one of the apple muffins that Petra made for me.

I parked my car and tiredly got out of my car, letting out a big yawn. Yawns must really be contagious, because both Eren and some random lady walking to her car let out yawns of their own.

I walked over to Eren's side of the car to see if he needed any help, but he was already getting out of the car. I grabbed his hand and lead him into the building, up the elevator, and to the door of my rather unnecessarily large apartment.

I unlocked the door and ushered Eren inside. We took our shoes off and I hung up Eren's and my coat.

"Alright, Eren. First off, you're filthy, and I'm filthy. So let's fix that right now."

Eren followed me into the bathroom. I always thought it useless before to have a shower and a bath, since I rarely bathe, I mean who wants to swim in their own disgusting body dirt, gross. Anyway, I'm glad I have it, cause now I can keep an eye on Eren from the shower while he bathes. I mean that in the least creepiest way possible.

We eventually got ourselves cleaned up, the only incident being Eren getting shampoo in his eyes, but I didn't expect much else from him anyway. I know that sounds harsh, Eren can be quite useless at times, but I still love the brat.

Next up on our agenda for the night, food.

I sat Eren down at the kitchen table while I made us so tea. While the tea brewed, I explained the appliances in the kitchen to Eren. His favorite was the dishwasher. He said it would have been a relief to have that during that time, because of the amount of dishes people had to wash after a meal. When the tea was done I set our cups down along with one of Petra's muffins. Petra was one of those people that were health nuts in the kitchen. Much to her husband, Aurou's chagrin, she never made an unhealthy meal. The muffins she made were only sweetened naturally by the fruit inside, making it a smart choice for Eren.

We finished our snack in silence and headed off to bed. I gave Eren a pair of boxers and a shirt to sleep in and we settled into my large bed for the night.

I cuddled Eren close to me that night, and before I fell asleep, I lovingly whispered three words into his ear.

"I love you."

Sorry for the wait! I am pretty stressed out lately. Please don't be upset if it takes me a few weeks to update. I have a lot of things going on that writing is hard to do sometimes. I'm trying really hard to make these chapters good, so I hope you enjoy them! Leave a review letting me know what you think!
