At long last, I update! I think you guys will like this chapter though, so let me know if you did or you hate me cause I'm sure I'll get both!

Levi's POV

Where are they? Eren's parents should have been here by now.

I sigh and lean back further on the couch, tapping my foot against the light gray rug on my living room floor. Eren was sitting beside me on the couch, looking down at his fingers as he played with them.

Knock knock

Eren jumped a bit, probably startled out of whatever thoughts he had, and I got up from the couch, walking over the door while mumbling an annoyed "Finally."

I opened the door to reveal Grisha and Carla Jäger.

Grisha was dressed for his work minus the white doctors coat, while Carla was wearing a pale, yellow blouse with a cream colored buttoned up sweater over top and a dark red skirt that stopped just above her knees. They both shared a nervous, yet excited, expression on there faces.

"Sorry we're late." Grisha spoke quietly. "There was an accident and the traffic was horrible."

"It's fine. At least you're here now." I replied. I guess that's why I felt a weird feeling when I saw the car crash on the news. At least they weren't hurt.

I turned around and motioned the couple at my door to follow me. When I walked into the living room, Eren looked at me curiously.

"There are some people here to see you." I smiled at him.

His confusion turned to shock as his parents walked out from behind me.

Carla raised a hand to her mouth as she gasped, tears starting to form in her eyes.

Grisha looked shocked, but then a guilty look settled on his face for a few moments before he smiled a gentle, fatherly smile.

Eren stood up slowly from the couch, but then bolted towards his parents who welcomed him with open arms.

I smiled to myself as I watched the scene before me. All three of them were crying as they hugged each other. Eren had both his arms wrapped around his mother and Carla returned the gesture as well, hugging Eren protectively to her. Grisha encircled his wife and son with his arms, holding the trio together.

I left the three alone and went to get some tea and snacks from the kitchen.

Time Skip

"So that's where he was." Grisha said thoughtfully, taking another sip of tea. "And he can't understand us?"

"No." I replied, glancing at Eren who was on the other end of the couch with Carla. Eren had his head resting on his mothers shoulder while she ran her fingers through his hair soothingly.

"Hey, Levi?" Eren spoke up, gaining everyone's attention. "Can you translate for me? I want to tell my mom something."

I nodded at him and then shifted my gaze to Carla who was looking expectantly at me. "Eren wants to tell you something."

Her face fell and I can guess that it's because she knows what Eren wants to tell her. I'm sure I have a pretty good idea as to what it was too.

"Tell her that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being a bad kid sometimes and for arguing with her."

"He says that he's sorry for being a brat and for arguing with you." I translated.

Carla pulled a frustrated, crying Eren into her arms.

"I'm sorry that I fought with you till the very end and that I couldn't save you from that Titan." Eren cried.

"He's sorry for fighting with you till the end and for not being strong enough to save you."

Carla looked at me with a fire in her eyes. "You tell him to quit apologizing. What's done is done. I would die a thousand times if it meant he could get away. He might have been a pain sometimes, but I never stopped loving him!"

Carla retracted her arms from Eren who looked at her confused.

"Oi, brat."

Eren jumped a bit at my tone and looked at me confused.

"Your mom wants you to stop apologizing and to move on. If you keeping holding the shit in, it's going to hurt. You have to let out and then flush it away."

"My mom would never say something as vulgar as that! What kind of translator are you?"

"What is getting upset about? Was it something I said?" Carla asked, looking at her son

"No, it was my fault." I smirked. "He doesn't like how I translate."

Time Skip

"Well, I think it's best we took our leave." Grisha stood up. "Come along Carla, we need to get back to our jobs."

I got up to show them to the door and Eren followed suit.

"What about Eren? Aren't we taking him with us?" Carla inquired, standing up with the rest of us.

"No, dear. I think it's best to leave him in Levi's care for now." Grisha noticed Carla was about to refute, so he continued. "Levi is the only one who can speak to Eren, and until Eren can understand the new world around him, It's best he stays here."

"I guess you're right." Carla sighed, then turned to me with a glare. "You better take good care of him!"

"He's safe with me." I said as I reached a hand to ruffle Eren's hair.

"Good." Carla laughed. "We'll be going now."

Eren and I walked Carla and Grisha to the door. Grisha hugged Eren goodbye and Carla kissed him on the forehead. They waved goodbye as they left my apartment, and when they were gone I closed the door behind them.

I made my way back to the living room to begin cleaning up the mess that was left there. Eren helped me bring the cups and plates to the kitchen. I let Eren place them in the dishwasher as I went back to vacuum up any crumbs that might have fallen to the floor.

When all of that was taken care of, I sat back down on the couch and soon after, Eren joined me.

"You glad you saw your parents again?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

"Yeah! I can't wait to see everyone else" Eren smiled. "But I'd like to be able to speak with them myself."

"That can be arranged." I said. "I'll give you your first lesson right away."

I pushed Eren onto his back and kissed him all over his face.

Kiss

"I love you."

Kiss

"I love you."

Kiss

"I love you."

Kiss

"I love you. I love you. I love you."

Eren giggled with every kiss. And when I was done, he uttered the three words I kept repeating to him.

"I love you."

Not only did I not update for over a month, I had you all convinced that his parents were in the accident. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm sorry lol
