AN: This is a little bit of a sorter chapter. Sorry about that. Due to life, I haven't been able to post for a while. I will be releasing this chapter, a chapter for most or all my other stories and I will be releasing a new story all on the same day. Don't forget to check those out too. Enjoy!

Ch. 3:Practice

-Levi POV Explaining tense-

Eren has been practically dragging me out of our temporary cottage to help me practice my new titan abilities. I now understand. We are sissies to our trainees in the scouts, they are sissies, I'm a sissie… pretty much anyone who doesn't turn into a titan is a sissie. I actually have more respect for Eren now because, let me tell you. This training. Is Fucking. Hard. As. Fuck.

First of all, every time I have to transform, I bite my thumb really hard, which hurts like fuck. Second, every time I punch in titan form, I shred my arm and break all of its bones, which hurts like fuck. And finally, whenever Eren hits me with his fist, it hurts like FUCK!

-Present tense-

As Eren and my sparring match comes to a close, we return to normal and asks me if I could test my speed ability. As he points to a huge mountain in the distance, he hands me a scout regimen flag and says to me, "Climb the mountain way over there, get to the tip, stick the flag in the top, run back down and I'll use these binoculars to check."

It would be pretty easy to do that but it would still take a while, "that's a piece of ca-"

"And if you're not back by 6, which is 2 hours from now, you don't get food."

I instantly take off running in the direction of the mountain after transforming. I knew he was doing this because I was hard on him in the Scouts, however, I let it slide for the same reason.

-Eren POV 5 hours later-

As I sit in the cottage, I realize that it has been 5 hours since Levi left. I begin to worry and decide to head towards the mountain I sent him to. I transform into my titan form to move faster.

After about an hour, I finally reach the mountain. I look in every direction, not seeing Levi anywhere. I run around the side of the mountain, sort of hoping to not see him there on the ground. As I turn the corner, my hopes are destroyed as I see Levi in his human body, lying on his back next to the mountain. He is on top of another titan and several others are lying around. It was obvious to me that they were attempting to pull him off the mountain but they all fell instead. I revert to my human form after making sure the titans are dead and run over to him.

-Levi POV-

As I lie there barely even conscious, I suddenly feel something pick me up. I sense Eren's presence beside me and drift off, knowing I am now safe with him.

-Back at the cottage, 1 hour later-

As I come back to consciousness, I feel an intensely tight grip on my shirt and something resting on my chest. I slowly start to open my eyes, noticing that Eren is kneeling next to me with his face buried in my chest. As I regain my voice, I attempt to speak, only managing to mumble, "Eren?" I start to get up but he pushes me back down, apparently not wanting to move either of our positions. "Eren…I'm sorr-" I manage to start talking before he interrupts me, however, not the way I expected.

"No! No… I'm sorry, Levi. It's all my fault you got hurt! I told you to go out there without a second thought of the dangers! I'm afraid you hate me now and you just want to hurry back to the city and get away from me! That's why I'm holding you down. I'm sorry! Please! You have no idea how much I need you. Please…don't leave."

I lie there, frozen from a particular sentence Eren spoke. He needs me? Eren…needs me? I feel my heart start to race a little faster and I decide to reassure him that I won't leave. I grab Eren's hand and he looks at me for a second before I connect our lips. I can practically hear his heart beating as I enter my tongue into his mouth. After quite a while, we part our lips, both wishing for it to continue, and yet we're both exhausted.

"I'm not going anywhere, Eren." I hear him release a breath he was holding. "Speaking of going places, do you want to head closer to the city tomorrow? We can go a lot faster if I carried you in my titan form."

"Yea. Sounds like a plan to me. I'm down." I could tell he had been crying because his voice sounded nasally.

I kiss him again, making sure he knew I forgave him. "Perfect."

AN- Again, sorry for the short chapter. I promise to try to make future chapters a bit longer. I'm just trying to get the fact that I'm still going to be writing out there.

Please, don't forget to check out my other fics like" Broken Hearts" and "Lazy Mother Fuckers" and my new story, "I am always with you…Vani".

Reviews, faves, follows, etc. is always appreciated. (If anyone has an idea for the title of this chapter, can you please suggest it to me? I'm not totally sure about the title I have now,)

Nestsui-sama out.
