Sorry about the long chapter, my friend/beta is mad at me because of the chapter length, so I took my notes for chapter four and tried to intergrate them togrther as much as possible, so I'm sorry if it's a bit choppy in places,

Mate, Mate, that word has so many meanings attached to it, it can mean friend, it can be a stand in for several words, like if you say "Watch yourself, mate" whilst emphasizing 'mate' than it might mean several things, like bitch, or on one particular occasion, dumbass, lets not get into that, however but in one Eren Yeagers case, it's meaning was deeper than that, he just wasn't quite sure what that meaning was yet, "Hei-" He stopped himself, remembering the so called talk he and his "commanding officer" had a few hours ago, he closed his eyes, mentally preparing himself for the possible outcomes. He couldn't believe he was about to ask this, and did he really want to know? Yes, that ever-present voice was trying to get him to go through with it before he lost his nerve, Okay, it's now or never. "L-levi" Goddamn stuttering " Yes, mate?"
An eyebrow was raised as he older male took a break from the, the… thing, he was building, it was resting on the crook of where two of the branches met around five feet above them, Eren could remember when he first started building it, it was just after their… conversation… Levi had gotten up from the sitting position that he occupied and said "I better get to work, I suppose," He looked at Eren, who had turned his head at the sound from the older male, "Can't have my adorable little mate sitting out in the open, now can I?" Eren simply watched, confounded as the male started to gather and weave the sticks together, they were more of branches, actually the smallest that he had seen was around twise his height! ,Levi swung down from said branch, "Yes, my mate" He seemed curious, Eren hadn't talked to him since the talk they had about them about two hours ago, he was starting to get annoyed at the silence, but at the same time appreciated it, he could concentrate on the nest, "That's just it," He took in a breath, "You called me, mate, why?" Levi chuckled, he sat down, and motioned for the younger to join him, he did, about a meter away, Levi sighed and reached over, grabbing the younger boys arm and puled him towards him ,then proceeded to place Eren's head in his lap "What!" the movement startled the younger of the two, and he tried to get back up, Levi simply put a hand on his chest and opened his mouth, "Stay." Eren stilled, tense but not trying to move. Levi sighed, it would have to do, he ran a hand through the chocolate locks, "I call you my mate, because that's what you are," Levi's eyes held that glint in them again, Eren knew what the emotion in this look was however, possessiveness, what made it worse however, was the fact that Levi had not stopped his earlier menstrations, so as he spoke, a hand stedily gripped his hair, slightly pulling in it, as if to prov a point, his other hand traced over the red mark that the male above him had made several hour ago."Your mine, my mate. My brat, mine, your mine, and nothing will ever change that, Eren, nothing." (I kinda wanted to end this chapter here, but my friend threatened to kill me if I did, so violent.) The glint was gone as if it was never their, but the tone remained, "As I was saying, I call you my mate because that's what you are, My mate, I'll explain what that is at a later date, perhaps one day, I'll find out what the titan equivalent is, I should get back to work, ,and you, well, how about you get some rest, I know that too much sleep isn't healthy, but I know that you haven't been sleeping recently, so why not take the chance to catch up on missed sleep, I'll stay with you until you do, I can afford to wait a little longer," Through out the small explanation the boy had clamed down in his lap, he was still slightly tense however, most likely from his little outburst earlier. Levi let go of the boy's hair, settling to run his hand through it, he did not, however, stop tracing the mark he left Eren let out a quiet mix between a moan and a yawn as he felt the last two days take it's toll on him, that coupled with a week and a half of inconsistent sleeping was enough to make him more than exhausted, just before he drifted off he thought he heared something like "A'u, loa ofisa, lau uo mamae ma o lau taa, o lou Eren."
