Chapter 3

"Armin , Mikasa from now on do you best to protect Eren, never leave his side understood?" Carla said to the two wearing her giddy expression as she gently stroke her son's now short chocolate brown hair. That night Carla ordered a maid to attend to her son, she ordered her to give Eren a short haircut. She doesn't want her son to look girly and was in deep slumber for almost a week now after that incident.

"Auntie, when will Eren wake up ? Mina sew a pretty dress for her birthday, she's pretty excited to see what will Eren look like wearing it." Mikasa cheerfully said.

Armin saw Carla's slight twitch of eyebrows, being observant as he was, he knew its clearly an indication of displeasure, it suddenly disappeared in a flash and was instantly replaced by a fake gentle smile.

"Mikasa sweetheart, Eren will wake up soon don't worry about it … and about the dress.. Mikasa did I forget to mention that Eren was a boy? " Carla said in a gently while she look at her sleeping "son" with fondness. Mikasa blushed in embarrassment she apologized quickly for jumping in to conclusions, she explained that because of Eren's feminine features, she assumed that Eren was indeed a girl in her age.

'No Mikasa Eren was a girl!' Armin thought as he glance to Eren's mother with worried face.
Carla noticed Armin's expression, she smirked at him " Its alright Armin dear, I'll explain everything to both of you soon enough about Eren's condition, after all both of you are his best friends" Those words send chills to his spine. Armin felt frightened. At such young age, his mind can't keep up on what's happening, but one thing he totally understand, with all of this complicated stuff that's happening Eren's mother, Carla is scary. A woman that you cannot messed up with.

"Eren's condition? Is Eren that sick auntie?" Mikasa interjected while looking at the older woman in confusion. Armin snapped in is thoughts, explain everything to both of us …me and …Mikasa?

"Eren is undergoing in a delicate situation, he will be needing a continuous treatment my dear so he will be more healthy in the future.. that's why I'm asking both of you to protect him and be a good friend to him" Carlsa said in a very motherly tone.
"No need to tell us that auntie, we already treated Eren like our own brother ever since you adopted us. Also he's our best friend we'll do everything to keep him out of harm" Armin finally said with full of determination while looking at the sleeping form of his bestfriend.

3 days later…

Eren finally woke up from his deep slumber after that incident, everybody gathered around his bed after hearing the good news, Eren's parents, Mikasa and Armin. Grisha sighed with relief for he prays for Eren's health everyday also wishing for his experiment to be a success hoping that there are no side effects that will harm his precious daughter .. now son's body.

"Where am I? Who are you?" Everyone was taken aback by Eren's question, still feeling weak and dizzy from the chemicals that his father forcefully infused to him, he looked at them with a very wary look in his eyes. Carla was the first one who recovered from those question and hugged her child.
"Oh Eren my beloved son, how could you forget your own family! I'm your mother, that's your father, your friends Armin and Mikasa" she introduced them respectively. Silently processing those newly found information as he look at them,

he finally answered " I'm sorry for making you worry … mother"

He's so familiar with everything, the house, the people in it . It didn't took him too long to accept that it is indeed his family.
"Are you sure you feel ok now? Is it ok for you to be out of the bed already?" Mikasa asked Eren sending him a worried look.
" Yes Mikasa, don't worry too much I assure you I'm alright now, thankyou " Mikasa instantly blushed at Eren's smile
" I don't want to stay in bed all day, a little stroll in the garden won't hurt" He continued while busy looking to his closet for something to wear.
Armin is in the room too but he's silent and just observing Eren with worried expression. Eren walked to a full body mirror near his dresser when he saw Armin's expression in the mirror's reflection.

"What's the problem Armin?" he inquired, Eren couldn't help but to be concerned. Armin claimed to be his bestfriend. He feel so comfortable with him so he trusted that his claims were true.
"N-nothing at all Eren" Armin snapped to his trail of thought.
"If you said so" Eren said as he started to strip his pajamas.
"E-Eren we'll just wait for you downstairs" Mikasa blurted out, blushing as he saw Eren starting to undress. She tries to stop herself from staring at the lean body infront of her. Mikasa dragged Armin out of the room not waiting for answer. As the door closed, Eren was left alone infront of the full body mirror . He stared at his reflection, studying his own image, he blushed because it feels like there's a stranger infront of him.

"Is this.. me?" he asked to no one in particular, he know how stupid that question sounds but he can't stop himself to wonder.
He touches his own cheek, nose and lips.

I feel weird... the person standing infront of me ... is me ?

Out of curiosity he completely undress himself, infront of the mirror he study himself , he stared at his smooth flat chest, his stomach down to his lower region.
He stared at his half limp lower region Why do i feel weird like this? It feels so new to him, the long weird shaped organ down there. He was about to touch it when someone knocked on the door and suddenly opened it .
"Eren? what are you doing?" Carla stared at his son who's completely naked infront of a mirror, curious on what he's doing before she arrived.
"M-Mother..I-I'm..I was j-just -" Eren felt really awkward, as he struggle to think of an acceptable explanation to his mother.
Carla raised a delicate brow, completely amused to the scene before her. She closed the door behind her and excitedly walk towards her naked son infront of the mirror.
" This ... is the proof of your manliness my sweet" she whispered behind her son's ear, she was standing behind him as she hold his exposed manhood gently without hesitation and give it a few strokes. Eren gasp in surprise he tries to cover his blushing face. "M-mother I- I-" His nether region feels so hot and slowly becomes very sensitive " Should I call for Annie my dear? Or you want mother's help instead?" she said breathily. "N-no.. I-I can fix t-this m-my self m-mother"
"If you say so.. Aww! just look at you, my baby boy is now all grown up." Carla squealed as she hugged her son, now completely ignoring the son's weeping manhood, changing the subject in an instant.
"Oh my sweet Eren, my only son, soon you'll meet your pretty fiancée I cant wait for your coming of age ceremony! I'll make sure it will be grand and fun"
She dreamily continued as she snuggled her son to her backwards.
" Mother? Aren't I a bit too young to get married ?" he asked in confusion, he forgot his current problem and his state of nakedness infront of his mother.
"Well , its just a few years from now sweetheart, it's not that far away" Carla said as she busied herself looking for something suitable for Eren to wear
"You're going outside right?" she asked. "Yes mother I'm planning to take a stroll with Armin and Mikasa at the garden"
"I see.. I'll help you dress up but before that, fix your problem in the bathroom first" Carla smiled innocently and handed his son a pair of black trousers, and a white dress shirt for him to wear.

After Eren finished his business, she helped him dress up. Eren feels kind of warm that his heart almost ache. What's happening to him? this kind of interaction towards this very eccentric woman... his mother, it feels so foreign to him.

Because unknown to him.. that's the first time in his/her life, is the very first motherly interaction Carla did for him.
