Holy Shit, it has been a LOOOOONNNNGGG time since I updated and that is because just when I get my internet to work, my computer decides to be a butt and delete itself. So I lost everything on my computer and then it refuses to work after that. I had to wait until Christmas to get a new one. New computer=updates!

To Ereri Is Love: You are not dumb, it is a legitimate question. I call the fic Latch because I happened to like the song Latch by disclosure and that was the song I was listening to when I first wrote this. (^^)

To Nee Kuchiki TT 3 TT: I don't know, maybe I should have mpreg but I don't know.

To bkilic1, CatLover90, hijikata100, AloisJimTrancy, and L. Kagamine-sama: Thank you so much, it make me happy you like the story! :D

I want apologize for any spelling errors you may come across but it is like 3 in the morning and I have no fucks to give right now. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I do not own SNK, but if I did my OTP would be the main focus of the anime.

Christmas! It was finally Christmas time! Eren laughed happily as he ran around the apartment setting up decorations. Festive music blasted off the stereo loudly and Bean could be seen hiding under the table from all the chaos the teen was making. Yet, Eren couldn't help but be a bit chaotic when it was around Christmas. It was his favorite holiday after all and right after thanksgiving (which was spent together with Levi and Mikasa).

The teen paused in his merry decorating to hear a knocking at the front door. He idly wondered if it was Mikasa coming to visit him but that was thrown out the window when a hyperactive voice called through the door.

"RAVIOLLI!" the voice sung.

Eren froze in his steps and cursed his luck. Why did people have to come over to Levi's apartment when he wasn't there?!

Straightening his shoulders, the brown haired male walked stiffly to the door and opened it half way. The person who greeted his sights was a woman who looked roughly around Levi's age. She had brown hair in a ponytail, thick, square, black glasses and a grin that turned fox like when her eyes landed on Eren. The woman forced the door opened and circled Eren as if evaluating him. The teen shifted uncomfortably as she did this and tried to speak but was shushed. When the glasses lady was done checking him out she let out a laugh and said, "I can't believe Levi actually caught somebody!" with a cackle.

Eren bristled at the comment. "Of course he did, he is attractive."

The woman paused and let out a giggle before holding out a hand. Eren shot the woman a confused look before cautiously shaking her hand.

"I'm Hanji Zoe, Levi's old college friend and the owner of Bean." She said happily.

"I'm Eren...wait, you knew Levi in college? What was he like?" Eren eagerly asked, closing the door behind Hanji and walking her to the couch where they sat.

The woman smiled. "He was kind of like a thug where I first meet him but after our sophomore year in university, he mellowed out."

"A thug?"

"Oh yeah, a total vigilante actually. He along with two other of his friends named Farlan and Isabel went around beat up the local gangs members to stop all the violence in the city. It worked for a while, I remember Levi and the others celebrating after a big fight with a gang but it all went downhill from there." She frowned. "I don't know what happened but I guess Levi had a fallout with Farlan and Isabel. He never spoke about them again and when I would ask he's get defensive." She sighed and looked at Eren who had a sad, thoughtful look on his face.

"But enough about Levi, I would like to know about how you and Levi got together." She beamed.

Eren blanched. "Um…what would you like to know?"

"You know, like how you meet, where was your first date and just everything!"

"Well…" Eren hesitated. "We meet at a park where Levi was taking Bean out for a walk…" he swallowed as he started to tell a half-lie. "I-I was being chased by some er—thugs and Levi saved me. Our first date was at Vey Café where he asked me to be his fia-I mean boyfriend and we got engaged a couple months ago."

Hanji squealed and hugged Eren tightly. "That's so cute!"

Eren laughed uncomfortably and looked anywhere but at Hanji after she let him go. That was when a distinctive cat meow was heard and Hanji dashed to pick up the demonic cat named Bean. The cat bit her but she didn't mind as she nuzzled the cat wildly.

"Bean, I missed you so much!" She said as the cat looked disgruntled with her cuddling.

After a few minutes of cuddling Bean and speaking with Eren, Hanji made her departure with a promise from Eren that he would tell Levi she had come by. Eren promised and waved to Hanji as she left. The green eyed teen began decorating again but at a much slower pace as his mind began to wonder on the information Hanji gave him. Levi had been in a vigilante group that fell out during his freshman year of college and didn't like speaking about it. However, that just made Eren more curious to learn about Levi and figure out the little secrets that he hide under his perfectly crafted mask. He wanted to know more about his fiancé.

It was about an hour later that Levi came home and was greeted by a monstrous display of Christmas decorations everywhere. Eren was reprimanded and was forced to take some of the decorations down. With everything going on, the teen forgot to tell his betrothed about Hanji's visit.

It was a peaceful day, as far as Levi could tell. The sky was cloudless and was an endless blue that stretched across the horizon. Hell, even his employees had been in a good mood. On top of that, he was able to get his work done without anybody surging into his office like a crazed maniac.

Then Aurou burst into his office.

So much for peaceful.

The large male ran inside with a serious look plastered on his face, sweat slowly dripping off his forehead. Levi immediately sat straighter as his senses went haywire; something was wrong.

"Aurou, I assume you have a good reason for barging into my office?" Levi voiced monotone.

The other nodded. "The New York Branch just contacted us. They said they need to speak to you immediately, and that it was of the most importance."

Levi's face hardened and he dismissed the larger male. Once Aurou left the office, Levi instantaneously grabbed his mobile and dialed the New York Branch. It rang three times before a secretary answered. After demanding her to connect him to her boss, he was finally able to talk to branch manager.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Burroughs, one of my personal assistants told me that you needed to speak with me and that is was of the most importance. I am a very busy man so please make this quick." Levi commanded.

He could hear the man on the other line gulp harshly. "O-Of course, sir. We, the New York branch, have been looking into the Titan Co. issue as you told us to and I finally have a report." Burroughs cleared his throat. "While Titan Cooperation has been running as long as us, they didn't start getting into…promiscuous dealings until about six years ago. It started out with just selling drugs and things like that but as the years passed by Titan Co. went into prostitution, kidnapping for ransom and supporting gangs around the area.

"I also asked the vigilante groups that we support in the New York area to see what they had on Titan. As it would seem, they are using the gangs to threaten anyone and anybody who has an association with Survey Corps." Here Levi scowled darkly and couldn't help but think of his mom and Eren. "Once they are threated, those people end up quitting or going to work for the Titans. Due to this, we already lost twelve people in the past two weeks alone and tensions are undeniably high."

Levi spoke menacingly. "Is there anything else?"

"We think—no, we know that the Titans are trying to take over the company starting from the bottom up and are not afraid to use dirty tactics. Their main objective though, at least what we think it could be, is to strike the company at its weakest point." Burroughs concluded.

Levi felt his throat constrict and his eyes go wide. The only person he could think of being the 'weakest' point to the company would be his mother. She was sick and dying. Obviously her death would be the perfect moment for the Titans to attack, take over his company and use it to do dirty work. The dark haired male gritted his teeth together and clenched his fists tightly, making them turn white. He wouldn't allow that.

"Mr. Burroughs, I have a request for you." Levi spoke calmly. He could practically hear the fear going through the other's body at his tone of voice. Everybody knew that when Levi was mad he would yell but when he was furious, he was scarily calm.

"Anything sir." Burroughs replied.

"Gather our vigilante groups, and give them a message for me. Tell them to demolish all the gangs supporting Titan Co. with no remorse and do it swiftly. We have no time or luxury to waste with people's lives on the line." With that, Levi hung up the phone and icily glared at the sheet of paper on his desk that read Titan Cooperation. It was then he promised himself he would see the destruction of the Titans.

He was going to kill the Titans.

Eren was upset and it was all because of the black haired, older male that Eren liked. Levi had suddenly became intensely busy with work and had little to no interaction with his fiancé. The shorter male would come home in a foul mood and snap at Eren almost every time they spoke to each other. It grated on the teen's nerves like nails on a chalk board. They hadn't spoken to each other in almost a week and the brown haired youth was getting frustrated.

All he wanted to do was spend time with his Levi and apparently that was impossible. On top of all that, it was Christmas! The most festive time of the year and his fiancé wanted to be the Grinch who was a total dick 24/7.

Eren groaned as he made his way down the sidewalk towards a local café. He had been going there for the past week or so to get away from the short male who had a stick up his ass. As he walked into the small shop his nose was greeted by the smell of wonderful coffee and the sound of chattering. He sat down in a booth and began people watching. He zoned out until he felt a tapping at his shoulder and his name being called.

"Eren? Eren Jeager?" A timid voice called. The tall teen looked over his shoulder and was greeted by blonde hair and blue eyes.

Eren blinked multiple times before shouting, "Armin!" and sputtering. The small blonde smiled genially and sat across from the blubbering teen.

"H-How've you been?" Eren asked, green eyes wide with wonder.

Eren had known Armin since he was in elementary school but they had never really been best friends. They could have been best friends but the stupid bastard Grisha stopped that from happening. They remained friends though and worked together on projects when in the same class. However, after Grisha kicked out Mikasa, Eren continued to go to school but when classes began he realized that he and Armin had been placed in different periods.

After the whole fiasco with Grisha betting him and the apartment to some random man, he really hadn't seen Armin since then. It had been about three-four months and he hadn't been to school in that long a time too.

"Oh, I've been good but what happened to you? One day you come to school and the next you disappear! I looked for you and I even told my grandfather about it. We even went down to the police station but Officer Hannes told us that you lived with your fiancé. You didn't have a boyfriend, no less a fiancé before you disappeared from school—"

"Armin calm down. Let me explain, okay?" Eren spoke slowly. The blonde across from him took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Okay, explain."

Eren told Armin everything, about his dad losing a bet that lost his apartment, the chasing of men that wanted to take him for a sex toy and meeting Levi. He told the blonde of how he got engaged and what had happened in the past couple of months. At the end of story Armin was wide eyed and gaping. The green eyed teen rubbed the back of his neck nervously and gave his friend a slightly bitter smile.

"Holy shit Eren…" the blonde trailed off.

"Yeah…"

They sat in silence and Eren looked back out the window only to spot Levi walking down the sidewalk. The teen hastily clambered onto his feet but was stopped by Armin looking at him in confusion.

"I-I just seen Levi, I think he is looking for me." Eren told him. "Do you have any paper or pen?"

Armin pulled out a pen from the backpack he was carrying and handed a napkin to Eren. The teen wrote down his phone number, thrusted the napkin and pen back to Armin, then left with a loud goodbye. He ran down the street until he almost tackled his small betrothed as he caught up to the other man. Levi stopped and turned around with a glare plastered on his face when he looked at Eren. The green eyed beauty gulped and shrank away from Levi, taking in the man's frustrated features.

"Where the hell did you disappear to?" The shorter asked.

"I was just at the cafe."

"Café?"

"I had to go somewhere. I can't stand being in the apartment when you have a huge stick up your ass and refuse to talk to me." Eren pouted angrily. "More importantly, what is the matter with you?"

"What do you mean by that brat?" Levi snapped.

Eren growled. "All you have been doing for this past week is snap at me and leave without even telling me. I've been worrying about you Levi because I don't know where you go or when you come home. And if what you said to Erwin a few months ago is true, then we are getting married in four months. Four months! If we are ever going to be a convincing couple then I need you work with me and tell me what is bothering you!"

"Our marriage isn't even going to be real." Levi retorted harshly. "After my mother dies we are getting divorced, isn't that what this whole deal was for or have you forgotten?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten! But that doesn't stop me from caring about you and worrying about you." Eren barked.

The two stared off with each other before Levi gently grasped Eren's hand and began walking towards home. The whole way the green eyed teen keep his orbs trained on his fiancé's back. Once the two made it back home, Levi let go of Eren's hand and looked at the teen. Eren's gaze was trained on the floor and before he knew it, the teen had been pulled into an embrace. It only lasted a couple of seconds and he was quickly let go.

"Thanks for worrying about me brat but I think it is you who needs to be worried about." Levi said.

"Wha—?" Eren tried to speak but Levi had already left to his room, leaving Eren by himself.

What exactly did Levi mean he needed to be worried about? It filled Eren with warmth and dread.

What was going on?

Eren had called Mikasa a few days later and asked if they could go shopping for Christmas. She agreed and they left after Levi dropped Eren at the university where his sister was waiting. They walked to the closest mall, and began shopping. However, even the shopping couldn't get the teen's mind off of his fiancé and what he had said to him. Mikasa, of course had noticed.

"So what happened between you and the little shit?" Mikasa asked.

"Mikasa, he is not a piece of shit and it's nothing really." Eren bit his lip.

Mikasa turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "Eren, you do know you can talk to me about anything. We are family after all."

"I-we just had a fight." Eren sighed. "He's been stressed with work lately and some of that stress has been directed towards me in the long run but I think we made up. I'm not too sure."

Mikasa looked murderous and Eren quickly calmed her down. Later the two ended up going to Starbucks and ordering some drinks to relax. They walked back to the university with a shit ton of bags and Eren rode the bus to return home. The teen walked into the empty apartment and plopped onto the couch with a sigh. Christmas was in a few days and Eren was really hoping that Levi liked the gift he bought him. The teen wrapped up everything he purchased and put it under the tree. He had just began making himself some lunch when his cellphone rung.

He answered and was greeted with silence.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" he asked cautiously.

"Why hello my dear toy~" the voice spoke coyly into his ear.

Eren felt his whole body stiffen. "Who the hell are you and how did you get this number?"

"Now, now, my lovely, there is no need to curse. It is uncouth."

"I will speak how I want to! Now answer my questions!" Eren hissed.

"Feisty, I like it." The person purred. "As for who I am, I am the one who is supposed to own you. Just like your dad promised when he made that bet with me."

The green eyed beauty felt his whole world come to a startling crash and he could feel his face lose color.

"Bastard, I will never be owned by the likes of you. I am a person, not an object! If you can't tell the difference then you don't even deserve to even look at me in such a way." Eren yelled.

"I will come and get you no matter what. You are mine to have and I will find you." The guy jeered.

"Fuck off!" Eren whispered furiously and hung up.

Eren slowly put the phone down and placed a trembling hand over his mouth to stop the sob that wanted to leak out. He slid onto the floor and buried his face into his knees, breathing deeply. A cry escaped the teen's lips and tears started to fall. He had never felt so scared, not even when he was getting chased by those goons. He wanted Levi.

No, he needed him.

Eren didn't know how long he sat on the kitchen floor in an almost fetal position but when he felt something touch his cheek, his eyes met steel ones. Tears welded up in his eyes again and he threw his arms around Levi, burring his face into the other's shoulder. The older male just blinked, surprised, and held onto the weeping boy as he blubbered about something.

"You need to stop sniveling and speak English to me so I can understand what you are saying." Levi sighed.

"Don't…" Eren sniffed. "Don't be an asshole when I was just on the phone with the bastard who my dad bet me to."

Levi's whole body stiffened. "Your dad bet you?"

Eren blinked. "I…I didn't tell you the whole story?"

"Matter of fact, the only thing I knew was that some douche wanted you as their sex toy." Levi glared.

"O-Oh…" Eren said softly. "My dad made a bet with some guy, and in the end he lost. He lost the apartment and myself to the bastard, which was why I was running way from those goons."

It was quite after the explanation and Eren just sighed into Levi's embrace.

"Eren, I've decided that I am going to get you a new phone and we are moving." Levi told him.

"Huh?" Eren blinked.

"Even if we are just fiancé's by a proposition, it is my job to take care of you and that means your well-being." Levi explained. "I am getting you a new phone and we are moving so that bastard won't be able to find you."

"Levi…" Eren breathed, touched by the gesture. A flush crawled onto his cheeks and he tightened his embrace on his betrothed.

"Thank you for caring." Eren smiled.

The end of chapter six and ten pages done! Gods, I am tired. Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it seems a little sporadic. I worked on this chapter for about 5+ hours, so a lot of time was spent and used.

If you could leave a review or something so I know if you would like this fic to have Mpreg in it or not. It would greatly appreciate that.

Happy Holidays everybody!

Until next time,
