I growled as I awoke to my alarm buzzing. I gripped the cold sheets beside me in surprise, groping for the warmth of Eren's body. Slowly coming out of the haze of the dream, I heavily sighed and felt a slight pain in my heart. In my dream, I could feel it. I could feel his body and mine intertwined, and I could feel that one certain, special kiss. My lips turned up into a small, sad smile as I swung my legs out of bed, stumbling as I started towards the closet, remembering the 'shower' I had the night before as I started smirking to myself.

"Eren," I murmured as his name rolled off of my tongue, my fingertips lightly dusting the uniform as I grabbed it, throwing on my shirt first and then tying the tie. After throwing on pants and the vest, I walked out into the hall and down the stairs to make coffee.

I sighed, looking around at the quiet, completely clean house. It felt different after having the people I loved back in my life; I actually wanted company-well, one certain young man's in particular. My hands ran over the granite counter and retreated as I headed back upstairs to mess with the bed head.

After combing out my hair and brushing my teeth, I sighed as I went down the stairs and heard my footsteps echo, trudging into the kitchen to put toast in the toaster. I poured myself a mug of coffee and put the top on as I walked over to throw on my coat and scarf, throwing the strap of my backpack onto my arm as the toaster went off.

As I grabbed the toast and buttered it, I slipped my shoes on and, with a whispered "I'm off," I silently shut the front door.

On my way to school, I stared at my feet as I mulled over things in my mind, especially my dream. A small smile played on my lips, which I forced away with a frown. I thought about the wedding ceremony and the lining of the veil over the bright, innocent green eyes that shone with a new light.

What was true love? I wondered, lightly biting my lip as I pondered the question. Do you know who it is, always? How did it look when you found them?

I snorted a laugh, a twisted smile forming on my face. Was I, Rivaille, really having thoughts like this? I laughed inwardly as my mind flashed back to when I was about fifteen in my past life, a day where everything seemed to change.

I was living in the alleys at the moment in time, an orphan left to die after what titans did to my parents. I'd had my fare share of encounters before a garrison member had found me when I was a child, and now, I had nowhere to go but the streets. Living was difficult, but I always managed, despite the cuts and bruises from other slum goers. As I awoke that day, passed out against the wall encased in shadows, the world started to spin around me. It felt different, as if I really had something to live for now.

As I passed through the houses of the Shiganshina district, I was stopped by a man in glasses. He had chocolate colored hair, while his eyes were hidden from me behind his glasses.

"Do you need help, sir?" he'd asked with a light grip on my arm. I shook my head rapidly, not daring to say a word. I felt someone crash into my side and let out a hissed breath, which the man took as a sign of pain.

"It's nothing," I managed to answer him as I bit back the pain, which caused him to lead me back to his house. For some unknown reason, I followed. Why I did, I wasn't entirely sure at the moment, but what happened next was enough of an explanation.

As we entered the small home, a woman greeted him from another room. As she moved to get up, I noticed there was a small bundle in her arms, wrapped in a white blanket. Quirking an eyebrow at the bundle, she smiled at me and moved, tilting the bundle towards my eyes.

My eyes widened and I took a breath, momentarily feeling as if the world stopped. The baby squirmed, and huge green wide as they landed on me. He stared curiously and gave a gummy smile, in which I returned, my face softening to the small little boy under the white blanket.

"He likes you," the woman murmured, smiling warmly, "do you want to know his name, young man?"

I nodded hastily, feeling as if I couldn't nod faster.

"His name's Eren," the man beside me replied as he sat me down to tend to my wounds. Noting he was a doctor, I relaxed as the woman came over and kissed his cheek. She then tended to Eren, and I watched as the baby suckled a bottle.

"Please don't ever mention you met me, please. You two are wonderful, and I wish I had the money to pay you back for this. Don't ever let him know, please, that you met me before, if my name ever becomes known," taking a deep breath and shitting my eyes, I murmured, "My name is Rivaille. Levi for short. If you ever hear of me, please don't tell him. But, he surely is a rain of sunshine on this life. Thank you both so much, especially for letting me meet your baby."

I smiled to myself, trudging on to school as I met a familiar pair of shoes. I looked up from the sidewalk to his shoes. Then, I looked at his pants, to his shirt, to his neck, and finally, to his face and those innocently green and bright eyes. Well, okay, maybe he wasn't that innocent after yesterday.

"Good morning, brat," I mumbled as he beamed, his hand finding my own as I intertwined our fingers, "can still walk?"

He let out a shocked gasp, causing me to laugh curtly as he blushed and hid his face, "Yes, I can."

"Be happy I went easy on you, then, shitty brat. I have a lot bottled up inside from our past as well as now," I growled into his ear as I drew closer to him. I smirked in satisfaction as his neck was painted red along with the rest of his face, trying to hide it from my view.

I stopped embarrassing him as we neared the school, met up with Hanji and Erwin.

"Hey!" the chimed in unison, Hanji running over and barreling into the two of us.

"Shitty glasses," I growled, standing in front of Eren as to protect him from her. She laughed as Eren chuckled, the four of us walking once again as I squeezed Eren's hand.

"Hey, Eren, are you limping? What happened?" Hanji asked, her voice laced with worry and curiosity.

I broke out into a loud laugh-something very surprising to the crowd around us-and hugged my sides, falling into a crouch as I laughed harder, Eren's face turning crimson.

"N-n-n-no reason, Hanji! You're seeing things!"

Erwin managed to catch on and was dying of laughter beside me, the two of us wiping away tears from our eyes.

Hanji looked at the two of us calculating me before it dawned on her, causing her to beam. "Aww, Eren! How was it? Is he good?"

"HANJI!" Eren shouted, covering his face as much as he could, shaking his head as his body tensed. "I really don't want to talk about this," he groaned as Erwin and I tried composing ourselves. Still chuckling, I grabbed Eren's hand.

"C'mon, guys, we'll be late for school," I said as I felt my face fall into its usual stoic mask. Chuckling as Eren whined, which was followed by Hanji's giggling, we made our way into the school.

"Levi," Eren whined, sprawled out on my floor. I just rolled my eyes as Hanji stared at Eren intriguingly, causing Erwin to chuckle.

"Brat, she's always going to pester you. Just tell her whatever you want," I answered with a huff, crossing my arms, "but I think I want to hear this."

Eren groaned loudly, covering his face with his hands and messed with his chocolate colored hair, "Fine, Hanji."

Hanji squealed in delight, pushing herself to the edge of the couch to stare at Eren as her eyes widened. Eren sat up, gripping the hairs of the carpet, sighing as he absentmindedly rubbed his stomach, causing me to slightly smirk.

"How was it, Eren? What was it like?"

"It was my first time, Hanji. I wouldn't know the damn difference. And it fucking hurt at first, but it got much better."

Hanji seemed delighted by the answer, but I scoffed, "first time in this life, brat."

As soon as I'd said it, I wanted to kick myself in the face. "Huh?" Hanji asked, dazed for a moment as she stared at me confused, "what do you mean?"

"Nothing, Hanji," I growled as I stood up with my empty tea cup, going back to the stove to fill the cup with steaming water. Putting in the tea bag, I walked over to the living room once again and sat down next to Eren, resting my head on his shoulder.

"What do you mean, Levi? Are you talking reincarnation?"

I sighed, reluctantly nodding, "yes, Hanji. Reincarnation exists, for your information."

"So that's what those dreams are?"

I stared at her blankly, "what?"

"You know, titans and blood and experiments. You were a Lance Corporal, Eren was your subordinate and you fell in love with him. Oh, and Erwin was a Commander."

All three of us exchanged looks, and then turned our eyes on her. And, once again in disbelief, we asked, "What?!"
