It was an awkward silence to say the least in the mess hall. The only sounds you could hear where the scrapping of spoons, and slurps of water. Hanji glanced at Erwin who glanced back worriedly. Eren was being silent and blank. Levi merely drank from his tea. Petra decided to break the ice.

"So Eren you never told us… what's your bird's name?" she asked. Eren looked at her and then a the raven perched on his shoulder.

"Kuroi." Petra frowned at his response, but then smiled.

"Kuroi huh that's a neat name," she beamed. The boy continued to eat his food in silence. Erwin gave Hanji the look that said 'do something!'. Hanji slammed her hands against the table and stood up with a smirk.

"Alrighty then looks like ya'll wanna have some serious fun huh?!" Levi glared at her for yelling. "Lets play never have i ever!" she explained the rules to their table and started the game off. "Never have I ever caught the colossal titan."

"Never um have I ever ah wore make-up," Petra said. Aourlo went next.

"Never have I ever been Captain Levi." They gave him a disbelieving look. Eldo next.

"Never have I ever died my hair brown." Günter.

"Never have I ever dated Petra." Erwin went next.

"Never have I ever doubted the survey corps." Levi grunted as he spoke.

"Never have I ever laughed." They all looked at Eren waiting. The titan sighed playing with a piece of his brown locks.

"Never have I ever eaten a human." So that's what this distance is all about, Erwin thought. Eren was still mad at them from blaming him when they had no proof. With that the game ended, as Eren stormed out. Erwin signaled for Levi to follow him. The little corporal grunted as he got up and left after the boy.

Eren knew that Levi was following him, and he was grateful for that. His mark on is neck burned painfully as if on fire. The sudden tug on his shoulder frightened him, as he was slammed against the wall. Levi glared up at him. "What the hell is going on?!" Eren bowed his head, which annoyed the raven even more. "Answer me damnit what is going on?!" Levi flinched slightly at the burning on the back of his neck. What the hell? "What are you doing brat?" Eren looked at him confused.

"What do you me."

"This!" Levi turned around showing him his marked nape. "What the hell is this?!" Eren examined it fingering it. It was black though had somewhat types of ember in between. It was the shape of a strange crown. "Well?" Eren dropped the hand back to his side.

"I..dont no sir." Levi sighed in relief as the pain faded. "Were you..there?'

"Your going to have to be more specific Jaeger."

"I mean that night when I supposedly ate that…girl sir," Eren mumbled. The silence seemed to dread on forever.

"Yes." Eren's head snapped up to look at the shorter man. "I was there when you ate her."

"So then why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you stop me from eating a human?!" Levi slammed his fist into the wall next to the boy's head. Eren stopped.

"Do you think I would let you keep on going with an empty stomach?" Levi asked. Eren didn't understand what the question meant. "You're different from other shifters so whatever you do I let it slid so you don't hurt anyone else."

"Levi…how did you know I'm different?" it was a whisper. The short corporal ( ;) ) backed away looking at the ground trembling slightly. "Capitan?" a gasp escaped Eren when Levi looked up at him…smiling. Sure it was faint but still.

"Say Eren when a human and shifter mate what do you get?" Levi asked. Eren was taken back.

"A child?"

"Yes, though what kind of child Jaeger?" Eren took a moment to think about the question. Mom and Dad were both shifters so if one wasn't…ah!

"Half shifter," he said aloud. Levi nodded. "Sir you're a …"

"Yes I am."

"But then why didn't you transform whe?"

"Because I cant…half shifters don't have such ability's like normal mutaris do," Levi interrupted.

"SO you cant heal like me?"

"No, though I do have the strength and speed along with enough intelligence." The silnce once again greeted the area. "would you like to hear a story Eren?"

"Yes," Eren said looking at him. Levi sighed and began…..

The story~

She ran through moist cobbled streets of the underground. The woman in her arms carried a child, that was clutched to her chest. She could smell him close by. A few more minutes until she stood in the door way knocking. She came face to face with none other than Kenny Ackerman.

"Who the fuck are you?" he sneered. The woman took a moment to catch her breathe.

"My name is Deesse wife of John Ackerman," she greeted with her head bowed. Kenny stared at her for a moment.

"So what is my brother's bitch doin all the way down here?" she gave him a pleading look.

"I beg you please take care of my child," she said showing him the bundled baby. He glared at the two. "Please I wont be living for much longer, and I know you can teach him to take care of himself in this place…..please for me, John, Rivaille." She glanced down at her son.

"You used up your power didn't you?" she gave him a faint smile nodding. "Fine but you two owe me in the next life got it?" he reached for the boy taking him into his arms. Much like his mother he had night black silky hair, and silver moon eyes, with a pale skin. "So his name was riva…" when he looked back to Deesse she was gone. Just a pile of dust and clothing from where she had been standing. And that day forward Kenny raised Rivaille as his own.

Eren stared at the raven with awe. Levi glared at him. Don't look at me like that you little shit." Eren snapped out of his praising state.

"So your really an Ackerman then?" Levi sighed as he sat down next to the teen titan…(Get it ;))

"Wait how long have you known about this?" Eren asked.

"Forever… I guess." Eren gave him the 'unbelievable' look.

"So then why didn't you just tell Erwin or Hanji, wait better yet why not the whole fucking wal!"

"Käfig," Levi cut him off. "As a shifter the walls are called Käfig."

"Right so why didn't you ever tell anyone about this?" Levi raised an eyebrow.

"Well lets see…first I cant transform so there's the 'savin humanity' out the window, and finally I don't trust others…especially humans," Levi said. Eren watched as the corporal leaned forward showing off his crowned nape.

"Levi why don't you trust the humans?"

"Well lets put it like this or as Kenny once told me... 'whatever humans don't understand, they fear; whatever they fear they destroy.'" Eren looked down at his lap as silence took the duo. "Tomorrow we start training." Levi got up.

"Training?" Levi looked down on him.

"That's right on your power and titan wise stuff…oh and bring your shit bird along too," Levi called out as he disappeared back into the shadows. Eren in a daze from all that has happened left to his room forgetting entirely of the rules. The raven looked up as Eren flopped onto the bed.

"Whats wrong boy?"

"Levis a shifter….half shifter." The news shocked the bird.

"No wonder he seemed off," Kuroi mumbled. Eren shot up when he heard movement expecting to see Levi, but instead he came face to face with seven people. Four girls and three boys. (Girls hairstyle) one hand her's in a high ponytail, other just loose and free. One had her's in a bun, while the shortest of the girls had a boy cut with her bangs to the side. One of the men had the same hair do as the shortest female, the others just had on a low ponytail, and curly short messy hair. They all actually looked similar to Eren.

"HELLO LITTLE BRO!" they greeted. Eren stared at them with big round eyes.

"My family?"

AN: sorry for selong wait children. Tomorrow my lit class is finally watching the outsiders….eek I cant wait! Thank's for de support and I'll chat with ya'll in about five weeks….dunno yet.
