LLL- This might be the last chapter you guys. I do take requests and thank you "Askermask" for review that previous chapter. It really gave me a push. I was questioning if it was even good.

Levi- She doesn't own SNK

LLL- Hey! I wasn't done.

Levi- I don't care. Watch out for her spelling and grammar errors.

Levi sits up quickly in a panic. "Four days. There's no way. That can't be righ-uhnnnn." A sharp pain surges through his abdomen and a sudden sickness flushes over him. He lays back down and Eren rests his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't strain yourself. You really need to rest."

"Rest?! I've been resting for 4 freakin days."

"Almost," Eren specifies. He stands up and stretches. "Wait here, I'll be back." Eren walks out of the room. Levi lays in the bed and stares at the ceiling. Never has he felt so useless. He's too tired to even clean and it doesn't take a doctor to notice that. His thoughts wonder to the events that occurred before he fell into the near coma. Reiner is the Armored Titan. Erwin is out of prison. Eren was badly injured. And he confessed his love for Eren in front of everyone.

"Ok~~~," Eren hums, returning with a wooden cart.

"The hell is that?"

"Food," Eren smiles.

"Oh, right." Levi gets a better look at the cart and sees an extensive array of food that is relaively hard to obtain. There is meat, break, rice, fruit, water, tea, milk, and even sweets that are only within the very inner walls. "What is all of this?"

"Well you haven't had much of anything to eat in the past few days so you need to regenerate."

"I never eat and that's not what I meant. Like where did all of this come from. I'm not paying for it."

"Don't worry about it. It's covered."

"By who."

"Just shut up and eat," Eren tells him. Levi sits up slightly in his bed and grabs a piece of the expense looking sliced meat.

"So tell me," he starts between chews, "What's been happening?"

Eren's chipper face suddenly turns into something more serious, shadows in his expression. "Reiner got away. He was looked for but no where to be found. About 50 soldiers from the survey corps were lost."

"Why the hell were the survey corps looking for him to begin with? They probably didn't even make it far enough to look in the right place."

"The Scouting Legion is under close surveillance of the military police. We can't even lift an arm without be questioned."

"What? Why are those dogs on our backs?"

"We are being accused of conspiring against the king and all of humanity. It wasn't long before everyone found out about what happened. Chief Erwin was caught and sentenced to death." Levi chokes on his food and almost falls out of the bed trying to get up. "Calm down! He's fine now!" Levi freezes in his tracks, adrenaline already pumping. Any pain he was feeling has suddenly disappeared. "He told the council that he tried to warn them about Reiner weeks ago but they hadn't listened. Erwin explained to them that without him they are as good as dead. Of course they didn't take well to this but after losing over 50 men simply looking for Reiner, they dropped the sentence. It was easy to say that they knew we wouldn't willingly operate without him."

Levi relaxes back in the bed, relief and pain rushing back over him. "Good."

Eren sighs. "You really care about him, don't you?"

Levi looks up to see Eren looking off to the side, suddenly becoming very interested in something on the floor. "He got me off the streets. It was somewhat against my will but I can't say it wasn't one of the best things that has happened to me."

"Oh..."

"But still, it's not the best thing that has happened to me," Levi grunts, somewhat stubbornly, sticking a piece of sweet bread in his mouth. Eren looks at him with wide eyes but doesn't comment on it. Instead he keeps conversation serious.

"Annie is free."

Levi can't even say anything. So much has happened. All he does is nod.

"We can't get her to talk."

"Where is she?"

"In the same prison."

"She can't escape can she?"

"No... Armin designed the chains she is being kept in. There's no way she can get out, but we can't get her to talk and she won't eat. Hange is afraid she'll die."

"She's a titan," Levi states, "she shouldn't need food, right? Titans lived without eating humans for centuries."

"And you call me an idiot," Eren replies with a stale face. "Titan or not, we are still human. We need to be nourished as well as any other human. You know titans eat us right? Have you ever been eaten by a titan?"

"Uhm, no..."

"Well I have! Like 3 times. It's not fun!" Eren pouts.

"Sorry," Levi mumbles, sticking more food in his mouth. He politely chews before speaking again. I forgot you two are alike."

"Hmph, I'm nothing like her."

"Thank the gods." Levi eats more food.

"Is it good?"

Levi looks at Eren in a still silence before picking up a piece of meat and bread. He holds it up into the air. "Here try some. It's good." The gesture looks strange, unlike Levi, but Eren doesn't complain. He leans forward and a devious smirk goes to his face. He opens his mouth and takes the food, along with half of Levi's finger. The leaders eyes widen at the sudden warm, softness of the inside of Eren's mouth and the naughty look he gives him. Slowly the half titan slides his fingers out.

Levi looks at them and then back at Eren. "That was disgusting," he states. "Hot. But disgusting." Eren can't help but laugh at his reaction as he wipes his fingers off.

"You can only hate it but so much."

"Not very pleasant."

"That leaves room for experimenting." Eren whispers.

Levi raises an eyebrow at him. "What?"

Eren leans forward, caressing Levi's face. "I wonder how much it takes to get a neat freak like you to think dirty."

The teasing tone Eren's voice holds makes Levi's heart skip a beat, but he keeps his cool. Not literally, his body is on fire. He looks around Eren to the food cart and goes to grab a piece of fruit. The brown haired male stops his hand and Levi sends him a curious glare. Eren picks up a slice of green fruit. "Is this what you were reaching for?" He smiles."You want it, you need to come and get it." Eren places the fruit on his tongue. Levi looks into the teasing male's green eyes and he realizes that the fruit isn't at all what he wants.

Levi wraps both arms around Eren, bringing him down forcefully into a longing kiss. Somewhere in the lust the fruit disappears but Levi doesn't stop there. Eren releases a moan when Levi's hands start exploring his body. He finds his way under the half titan's shirt, hands roaming along his skin. It isn't until he reaches Eren's back that he comes to a sudden halt. The half dead Titan form flashes before Levi's eyes. He has completely frozen, fingers touch the bandages that cover the slit. When Eren pulls back he sees a tear running down Levi's face.

"What's wrong?" Worry is written all over his face.

Eventually Levi finds the breath to talk. "I almost lost you."

Eren smiles, sitting on the side of the bed. "But you didn't. I'm here now." Eren grabs his hand and knits their fingers together. "And I'm not going anywhere without you."

There is a gasp at the door and the two look back. Standing there is Connie and Mikasa. "Levi is awake!" The hyper male runs towards the bed. Levi quickly lets go of Eren's hand and he steps back. Connie falls on Levi into a hug. "We were worried! How do you feel?"

"I was fine until a few seconds ago."

Connie stands with a wide smile across his face. He looks back. "Hey Mikasa, go tell the others that Levi woke up." She raises an eyebrow and shrugs her shoulder before leaving the room again. Levi releases a deep sigh, not exactly looking forward to extensive company. "You've missed so much. It's good, you probably wouldn't exploded. Mikasa spilled sweetened tea all over the floor it was sticky for hours... no maybe days. And then in your room..."

"UGhashgahgHH!" Eren coughs out an odd noise.

Connie looks back at him and then at Levi. "It was like a huge av..."

"UGHHHGHshutupAGGH," Eren gags out.

Connie gazes at him yet again. "Dude you should really get that checked out."

"Just get out." Eren walks to him and pushes.

"Huh?" The shaved head boy looks confused at first, then a smile spreads across his face. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was disturbing something, wasn't I?" He puts his hands up in defense. "Sorry, I'll give you two some time." He slowly slips out, bouncing his eyebrows knowingly.

Levi holds a confused expression. "What the hell is wrong with that brat?" Eren wears a shy smile and Levi tilts his head. "The hell is wrong with you?"

"Well, apparently you confessed your love for me in a teary rage in front of everyone."

Levi's face reddens exceptionally and Eren's cocky smile is now understandable. He sits on the bed and Levi pushes him. "Get off."

Eren ricochets back to the bed. "I want to hear you say it."

Levi looks off to the side as if he is aggravated. In reality he thinks the way Eren is acting is kind of cute but of course he'd never admit it. "I already did."

"When I was half dead and covered in titan muscle," Eren huffs, grabbing Levi's hand.

"It saved your life."

"Eren tilts his head considerably. "Yeah. It did, didn't it. It was weird. It's kind of hard to explain. I felt like something was pulling me. Something was calling me, telling me not to fall just yet. I think it was you."

'It's my fault you were in that position to begin with."

"What do you mean?"

Levi looks Eren directly in his eyes. "I saw Reiner walk past the window that night. When I ran outside he saw me. I could have ran back to alert you guys, like I should have but I thought I could handle him on my own and I chased him. When he turned a corner I followed and he hit me on my neck just as I rounded it." Levi lets out a deep sigh. "None of that would have happened if I had just thought first and not gotten captured.

Eren looks somewhat angry now. "In no way was that your fault! If had come and got us then you would have lost him."

"OK! I didn't lose him, but instead he knocked me out and I endangered the entire Scouting Regiment. Reiner got away, Erwin was capture and you were nearly killed! What good came out of that?"

"You finally showed us your True Strength, Lance," a voice says at the door. Eren and Levi look back to see the whole lot standing at the door. "Not once that entire night had you worried about your own life. You put everyone before yourself. I know for sure that if it had been anyone else injured you would not have left them behind."

"Sure you wouldn't have told me that you love me," Connie adds jokingly, "but you wouldn't have left me. That I know."

"Yeah man, so stop beating yourself up about it," Jean says.

"We would never blame you for anything." Mikasa mumbles. "We're in this forever. Besides, we're the closest thing to family any of us have got left."

Levi stares at them before rolling his eyes. Without showing it he is touched beyond all compare. They stand they as if they are expecting something. He sighs brashly. "Thank you."

Now they stand in silence... Eren clears his throat a little. "Uhm, guys. Do you mind?" For a second they hold confused expressions and then they turn awkward, speaking at one time. They nearly fall over each other trying to leave the room. Eren laughs when they are finally gone. "See they care. We're in this together."

"They're insane," Levi grumbles

"Aren't we all?"

Levi yanks Eren down into an unexpected kiss. He pulls back only a little, just enough so that their noses are still together. "Damn right we are."

"When we are out of here, we'll kill some titans. Take em all out."

Levi pecks another kiss. "Lets stay here longer. You look good when you talk like that."

"Because you love me."

Levi huffs. "Yeah. Sure whatever."

Eren sits up. "I'm not doing anything until you say it!"

"Fine! I do!"

Eren leans in. "You do what?"

Levi looks off. "Love you," he says in a quiet and stubborn grumble.

Eren hops on the bed laughing and kisses him on the forehead. "I know you do."

"Brat."

THE END

LLL- yep, this is the last chapter. If people want more chapters then just review and I'll comply but this felt like an OK stopping point. I could easily add more chpters but ya know. Gotta stop at one point or another. When I write I don't think, it just happens as I go so that is why I have so many spelling and grammar errors. Sorry!

Hange- Thanks for reviewing Askermask! She was very happy. Especially since you were the only person to review chapter 10. She appreciates it tons.
