"Did you really need to ask that?" I muttered into his neck.

"Just give me an answer you little brat," he chuckled.

"Fine. Yes. Always yes. Forever yes. And when you decide it's time for us to get married, my answer is yes," I whispered. I felt him shiver as my breath washed over him.

"You need some sleep," he said, "We do have school tomorrow."

"We could always just ditch," I suggested innocently.

I received a Heichou glare. "We have a project to do in Anatomy tomorrow. We are not skipping."

"Fine, fine," I said. "Where's Hanji staying?"

"She's probably gonna pass out on the couch soon. You stay in the guest room."

"Alright."

I didn't move until Levi gently disentangled himself from my embrace. He pointed out the guest room and went to where he slept. I walked to the room and ran into Hanji coming out.

"Here," she giggled, and pressed a small box into my hands before running to the living room. I looked at the box and yelped. She had given me condoms. I swore and tossed them against the wall and curled up on the bed. I had my Levi back. My beautiful Rivaille. My wondrous, wonderful Levi Rivaille. I rolled over and thought, "Shit. Armin."

I reached for my phone and called Armin.

"Where the hell are you?" Armin snarled.

"You never used to snarl at me," I said.

The line got quiet for a minute. "What?" Armin asked.

"Armin Arlet. You were so timid in our last life."

"You..."

"Yeah. I remembered about an hour ago."

"Go find Levi Heichou right now."

"I'm at his house."

"Oh okay," he chuckled. "Use protection." The line went dead.

I cursed and put the phone on the bedside table and rolled over to go to sleep.

Levi lay unconscious on the ground as I stood in Titan form, protecting him. My mind was clear with only one purpose: Protect Levi. I bellowed as I killed Titan after Titan, praying that Levi would get up. Then, I saw a Titan pick Levi up and hold him up to his mouth. I roared at the Titan and the Titan faced me. I stood still in shock. The Titan was me.

I woke up in a cold sweat, heart pounding, mouth dry. I looked around wildly before I realized that I was at Levi's house, safe. Levi was safe. I rolled over and tried to sleep again, but images of a dead Levi haunted me. I finally got up and padded to Levi's room. I gently pushed open the door, wincing as it creaked a little.

"Eren?" Levi asked, voice heavy.

"Um... Hey, " I said, standing in the doorway.

He looked at me, eyes glimmering in the dark. "Did you want something?"

I swallowed hard, "I had a nightmare...," I trailed off, mentally cursing myself for how stupid I sounded. This was Lance Corporal Rivaille. He wasn't going to coddle me. I was taken by surpriseas Levi pulled the covers off one side of the bed and shifted over.

"Don't just stand there, come here," he mumbled.

I stepped into the room before he could change his mind. I shut the door and crawled in next to Levi.

"You've got goosebumps. What the hell did you dream?" he asked, pulling the covers over me and pulling head under his, my hands resting on his waist.

"I... My Titan form... I lost control and...," I blubbered, but Levi had heard enough. He crushed my head to his chest and murmured soothingly to me. "I never thought you could be this gentle," I commented.

"Only for you, brat. Only for you," he whispered into my hair. I felt a cold breeze on my hair, concentrated in one spot. I looked up and saw tears in Levi's eyes.

"What?" I asked. I felt him shudder and sat up. "Why are you crying?!"

"How?! How could you still love me? After what I did to you! I killed you! I took your life! You should hate me!" he cried. I was at an absolute loss. Levi was breaking down like never before. He turned away and curled up in a little ball, body shaking. This was the bravest man in the world, the strongest soldier in humanity's history, and he was heart-broken over having to put down a monster.

"Levi," I said, turning him to me. "I don't hate you. Why should I? I died happy. You didn't kill me. You freed me. And I'll always love you." His eyes were full of hurt and looked like rainclouds.

"You shouldn't. I'm the monster," he whispered.

"No, no Rivai, no. You're not a monster. I'd die infinite times over by your hands than letting the Military Police have me. You honored your promise. And I have no higher respect for any man," I replied softly, brushing away tears.

I leaned down and pressed my mouth against his softly, and felt him clutch at my back, trying to bring me closer. His lips still tasted like black tea and he still was strong and he still smelled like metal. Our bodies pressed together and became tangled in the covers. Levi swore and shoved the covers off, still kissing me. I felt like I was shooting past heaven, caught in the feeling of kissing the man I loved and feeling him kiss back. He bit down on my lip and I gasped. He took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth and I gladly let him. He pulled back and started kissing my jaw, working his way to the hollow of my neck. A heavy, golden feeling spilled into my veins as the moonlight bleeding in from his window cast him into shadows. I clutched at his silky hair and ran a hand up his shirt, feeling the ridges of his v hip bones, 8 pack abs, and chiseled chest. I pressed my lips to his again, parting my lips and deepening the kiss.

"W... We should probably... Stop," he gasped out as I kissed up his jaw line.

"Why?" I asked, kissing down the back of his neck.

"Cause... I don't think. Eren... Just... Please," he whispered hoarsely. "I want so badly to continue, but I don't want it to go that far. We're not even legal yet. Just... Let's sleep, please."

I sighed and slid off him, pulling his back into the curve of my body. He snuggled into the cavity my torso made and I wrapped my arms around him, pulling the covers up to his neck.

"I love you, Eren," I heard him whisper as his breathing deepened.

I gently kissed his temple. "I love you too."

Lol I love you Stormy! And just bouncing off what she said, neither of us sees the other person's chapters until they're posted. So I'm doing the same fangirling as you guys :)
