wip from soaring ⚔️🪽 out 8/17!
putting the black jacket allegations to rest
--
He stops in front of a simple suit of inky black, free of creases, with clean lines and sharp shoulders. He feels something unnameable well up in his chest. 
“It suits you perfectly.” 
Levi inhales sharply as Erwin steps up beside him. He swallows hard, averting his eyes to a rack of ties to the left.
“Wouldn’t fit,” he says. He hopes it sounds casual. 
Erwin clears his throat softly. “They do complimentary alterations.” 
Levi bites his lip. The Something Unnameable swells further, nearly choking him. “Too expensive.”
In the silence of the shop, he hears Erwin smile. “I believe I owe you, last I heard.” 
Levi whips his head to glare up at him. “Don’t you dare, Blondie.” 
“It’s only appropriate…” 
Erwin looks uncannily like the cat that caught the canary. 
“…For a birthday gift.” 
Levi’s fingers twitch for a knife in his boot that now resides in a box under his bed. “How?”
“Who do you think processed your intake paperwork?” Erwin smirks. 
“Does Commander Fuckface do anything around here?” Levi growls. 
“Let me buy it for you.” 
“No.” 
“Levi.” 
“I don’t have any reason to wear it.” 
Erwin falls silent. Levi regards him warily. 
“What? What?”
Erwin looks steadily at the dress form. “The winter fete is in ten days.” 
Levi narrows his eyes. “I’m not going to that.” 
Erwin hums thoughtfully. “Zachary seems to think you are.” 
“Excuse me?”
“I may have told him you’re our most valuable recruit in the past year,” Erwin says, with not nearly enough regret. 
“Why the fuck would you do that?” Levi hisses. 
“Because Shadis is running the Corps into the ground, and the recruitment of an Underground thug—”
“Hey—”
“—their words, not mine—happened under his command.” 
“You’re the one who wanted me,” Levi blurts. And then pauses. And then draws breath to correct himself—
“Yes,” Erwin agrees, unphased. “And how do you think that reflects on me?” 
Levi stares at him. “You manipulative bastard.” 
Erwin smiles sadly. “Guilty.” 
“So—what—now you get to parade me around Mitras like a prized pet?” Levi gestures at the suit. “Dress me up so the pigs throw money at my feet?” 
Erwin clicks his tongue. “I prefer to think of it as…partnering up to secure the future of the Survey Corps.” 
Levi stares at him from under his brow. “Partnering up.” 
“Mm,” Erwin hums. “People fear what they don’t know, Levi. And I suspect introducing you to some of our most generous patrons would convince them that things are about to turn around for the Corps.”
“I think you overestimate my value, Captain,” Levi grouses. 
Erwin turns to regard Levi fiercely. “Never.” 
The quiet timbre of his voice rings in the silence that follows. Levi finds that he’s forgotten how to speak—perhaps even how to breathe. 
“Besides.” Erwin turns to regard the dress form once more. “It suits you perfectly.” 
Levi wrenches his eyes from Erwin’s profile to gaze back at the suit.
“I suppose…” He swallows thickly. “If it’s an…order. From my Captain. I’m in no position to refuse.” 
“Levi.” Erwin smiles again. “As your Captain, I must insist that you join me at the winter fete.” 
That funny, fish-hooked feeling tugs insistently at Levi’s sternum. He fights the bizarre inclination to press his fist against his chest to relieve the pressure. 
“What a shame,” he says instead. “I have nothing to wear.” 
Erwin turns to call over Levi’s shoulder. “Could we have some assistance, please?”

Me? A father? No, I'm going to be a cool uncle.
It's a crack and fluff spin-off. For once in my life, I decided to not overwork myself and just post this. It's silly, it's not fancy but I like it. It's a Levi x reader
WARNINGS: swearing a lot and sexual references.
----
"Hange is at Industrial city doing some research, Nanaba is helping at the training camps and Y/ N is working at Sheena's wall talking things out with the high command" Erwin spoke up and the words almost echoed in the Commander's quite office "You know what that means" He turned around smirking to the other tall blond of the room.
"Men's night" Mike replied
"Ugh" Levi loudly exposed his annoyance.
Mike was fast to take the paperwork away from the coffee table, and Erwin brought three glasses for the whiskey.
"Come on, Levi. The girls always hang out together. Why shouldn't we do the same?" The highest on command pointed out while taking a seat and serving himself a bit of the yellowish drink. Levi grabbed a glass too, still complaining but well aware that there was nothing left to do.
“Because anything that we don't do tonight will me more work for tomorrow. And Y/N comes back tomorrow"
"If someone had told me that from the two guys of the group who are on closed up relationships, the famous thug from the underground was going to be the most henpecked one. I wouldn't have believed" Mike chuckled at the other blondie point out.
"You're just jealous that your nights are cold and lonely," the captain said as a comeback to the only one of the three that was still single.
"Do I have to remember you WHY my nights are cold and lonely?"
"Do I have to remember YOU why your nights are cold and lonely?" Levi replied as a comeback before chugging down the glass and serving himself other.
"Ok princesses, both of you are pretty. Let's stop fighting. " Mike tried to drop the conversation there.
The blondes were the most talkative ones, probably about rumors that they heard from friends of other divisions.
"Actually, I have a shitty thing to share," Levi spoke up while his eyes were fixed on the movement of the liquid inside the glass, as if that was the most interesting thing ever.
The two taller men payed attention in the instant as the raven said that, aware that it was weird for the Captain to bring information to the table.
"I'm going to be an uncle," Erwin said quickly, as if it was news that he had been expecting for a while.
"What the fuck, no" Levi replied frowning at the both of them that were sat down on the other side of the coffee table "Plus, who the fuck told you that if I had a brat, you would be the uncle"
Erwin shrugged. "What other uncle is the poor kid going to have?"
"Oi, what about me?" Mike pointed out, faking taking offence at the comment.
"Yeah, but I'm gonna be the cool uncle"
"No, with that grandpa hairstyle. " Now it was Erwin's time to fake offence at the attack on his appearance. Levi clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes. "Y/N is not knocked up so no-one is going to be a shitty uncle". The captain was almost used to the pregnancy jokes, mainly because he and his partner were the only ones that could have kids. So it was a recurrent topic to get on his last nerve.
"As I was fucking saying. Do you know that brat, Blair? The brunette one?" Levi began the gossip.
"The one with the long straight hair, cut out on blunt ends?" Erwin questioned back.
Mike, who was drinking, gulped the alcohol and looked at his old-time friend in complete disbelief. "Why do you remember that?"
"I like long healthy hair on women. Geez, I can't even have preferences anymore"
"Whatever. Yeah, that's the brat I'm talking about"
Levi tried to make the other two focus back on the topic "Can you believe that the fucking brat that must not be over 16 tried to kiss me last night?" "Holy shit, this got juicy in a blink."
Both blonds left the glasses on the table and tilted forward as if they could miss any detail. "How did that happen? I remember you asking me to supervise her on training" the higher on command asked.
"Yeah, she wasn't that shitty and I could use another member on the team. That was fucking all. She delivered some papers to my office and before I knew it, I was pushing away the stupid brat that was going down to kiss me”
The commander had his mouth slightly open as if he couldn't believe it and the other man was chuckling in disbelief.
"Smart little girl. She made a move when the queen bee wasn't on the hive," Erwin commented as he stood out from the initial shock. It was an explicit reference to the captain's girlfriend's absence because of work.
"Did she do anything else?" The tallest of the three wondered as Levi readjusted his place on the couch.
"Yeah, she was rambling about how much she admired me, or some bullshit like that. Can you two tell me: where do shitty kids these days get the fucking audacity to, after I told her I'm already in a relationship with Y/N, said 'she doesn't have to know' “ Levi commented the last part imitating some ridiculed female sexy voice. The other two laughed loudly, probably because they never imagined the Captain saying that or neither using that voice. "Tch, I fucking hate it. The moment she noticed I was not following, she began the whole shitty weeping theatre. That she didn't mean it, etc etc" Levi didn't even try to hide his annoyance. "I don't give a fuck, but Y/N won't be that benevolent"
"I mean, she doesn't have to know," Erwin followed the joke while smirking against the glass that he was taking sips from.
Levi, whose stoic face was fixed on his superior, "How well did that turn out for you, eyebrows?" Referring to something that happened on the past.
Mike chuckled between breaths. “Look at that, Levi. You can still be a heartbreaker. Even with all the inches that you're missing" Levi had a good couple of came back replied to that but he let the comment slip "What make that brat thought I would cheat on Y/N? I'm too old for that shit. I'm closer to be changing diapers than to be getting into an affair."
Mike was about to make a comment when Erwin's hand give him a slight push with a sassy side smirk on his face "You see Mike, Levi may be younger than us but he's not up to an affair any longer. He got all the cheating he needed with my ex, he grew tired of it"
Both blonds chuckled as the dark-haired man rolled his eyes. "Fuck you off"
"No no, it's alright Levi. If you need a friend to hide a cheating from you, Mike has experience on that” Erwin did another punchline that this time made the Captain crack a smirk while the glass half empty rested close to his lips.
“Someone is still sensitive,” the alluded murmured, but with intentions of being heard. “Erwin, you know I adore you, but my girl is my girl. She plays with my hair while I take naps and suck my dick, as if my soul is going to leave my body. Sorry, not sorry. Keeping Nanaba's secret was more important”
“I take it back, the more henpecked one is you”
“Erwin, you’re in no position to fucking complaint. At least you know you got cheated. Nile still believes his middle child is his.” as usual, Levi had the best punchlines. Mike burst into laughs as Erwin looked at the Captain in disbelief.
“How many times do I have to say that I didn't sleep with Marie?” The commander tried to defend himself as if he was on a military trial.
“Yeah, I hope that kid’s hair turns darker because as far as I know, two brunettes don’t make a blondie”
“The best thing that happened in my life was all of you being incapable of keeping your dicks inside your pants. 4 years and I am still having fun” Mike commented, still laughing from time to time.
There was a quick moment of silence until “Wait, did you say you're closer to change diapers? Then Hange's theory is correct! The one who doesn't want a baby is Y/N, you’re ready to be daddy!”
“Aww Levi, is that why you're so eager to spend time tomorrow with y/n? Because you're trying to convince her to give you a baby?”
“I’m going to be such a cool uncle”
“You two can suck my dick,” Levi replied, doing pressure on his nose bridge, feeling a headache coming.
“Nah, you’re going to need your balls full for tomorrow”
Levi was sure of one thing, he would never stay for another men’s night.

mie!! i’m so late to the party but i absolutely loved ‘NICE’, it made me feel so warm and fuzzy <33 it’s so unique to its own and the flow of it is beyond wonderful!
what is married life like for oc and eren in ‘NICE’? is it just like before/do you have any nice!husband!eren headcanons?
AHH I’m so happy you liked it and that you took the time to come and tell me!! Married life for them... doesn’t really differ from what their lives looked like before actually hehe. They were basically married without knowing it 🙄🙄 idiots to lovers or something like that; but here are a few head canons of the months immediately following NICE!
You officially got married in Paris on the fourth, not too long after Carla’s wedding. You guys flew in some officials, checked through all the technicalities, and signed the papers right on top of the Eiffel Tower (access granted by the city of Paris upon request of one Carla Jaeger, of course). 
Aside from having the most picturesque location in the world to sign your marriage certificate, there wasn’t anything lavish in celebration after that. Carla’s wedding was just three days earlier, after all, and was still the talk of the local press. You did have a small party with your friends (Jean, Armin, Mikasa, Marco, Erwin, Levi, Hange came from the Alps for Carla’s wedding) in your overly large hotel room. Just some music, room service, and lots and lots of champagne.
Eren extended your winter break vacation by two weeks for an impromptu honeymoon to the Bahamas before you went home. Let’s just say you did not leave the safe haven of your hotel room very often, except to dip into the ocean a few nights (benefits of a private beach).
After getting married, the rings swapped places; the band with diamonds previously on your pointer finger was put on a chain (a new one since Eren threw the other one on the ground 💀), and you now wear the engagement ring on your ring finger.
Eren doesn’t like it when you take off the ring (the ring being the engagement ring). The first time you were going into the water, you were going to put it on the chain for safekeeping, but he protested very strongly. He would rather it rest safely in your suitcase than go around your neck again.
Your wedding bands are actually very similar to the band you already have: gold and diamond encrusted. Eren’s, however, has an emerald in the center, like the two emeralds that serve as the pistils of the sunflowers in your engagement ring (for reference, that ring looks something like this, but with a gold band). The bands were the first thing Eren bought when you guys got home.
Your friends in Dubai (Ymir, Reiner, Annie, Connie, Sasha) had no idea that you and Eren got married over winter break. Safe to say they were all… very surprised to hear the news. Connie was a little bit bitter because he missed it, and wolf whistles every time he sees your ring (even though he’s seen it before because you wore it on the necklace every day).
You got married in January, but have an official wedding in the process of being planned sometime around late summer/early fall. Carla insisted that you guys have a wedding despite already being married, and Eren agreed whole heartedly. They are both very into planning it, and yes, Eren is somewhat of a bridezilla, and his mom is enabling him 100% please.
The night you signed the wedding papers, Carla lent you an off-white satin couture gown from one of her past collections. She is designing and making your official wedding dress by hand, with the help of Mikasa.
The two of them are also making Eren’s suit, and all the outfits for your wedding party. Carla will murder you if you even so much as hint at just buying other suits/dresses. This is her baby’s wedding, and she runs one of the most renowned fashion houses of the modern century; she’ll be damned if you guys wear something off the rack.
You considered a destination wedding, but settled on having it in New York. You haven’t decided a location yet, and it’s the one thing Eren isn’t actually picky about (because you know he’s gonna go ham on the decor no matter where it is bye).
Jean doesn’t know it yet, but he’s your maid of honor. Good luck and best of wishes to Eren picking between Mikasa and Armin for best man.
Even before confessing and getting married, Eren never slept much in his own bedroom. You both have California king sized beds in your rooms, and more often than not, Eren would sleep with you in your bed. You didn’t always cuddle, but he just liked to be there (for your presence, and because he was grossly in love bye)… you ended up cuddling a lot of the time tho.
He wants to renovate your apartment now that you both “officially” live in the same bedroom, even though it’s not necessary. He just likes renovating things.
You guys go to dinner every weekend, and sometimes you even go dancing. Eren still can’t dance and he doesn’t actually care to learn; it just reminds him of being in Nice with you.
He kisses your ring finger every morning waking up and every night before going to bed; sometimes he even does it subconsciously in his sleep.
He holds your hand way more often. Not just because you guys are together now, but because he likes seeing the ring where it’s meant to be. He also notices that it helps to curb your anxiety, which is a good bonus.
Eren wants kids, but he hasn’t really brought it up yet. He knows you both are fairly young, and that you’re still technically in school, but that’s not really a deterrent for him.
The only reason he’s waiting to say something is because you guys have a lot going on with wedding planning and settling in to “married life”—there’s a lot of tedious paperwork to be done and documents to update. He’ll bring it up next year when all that is settled.
On the subject of school, you are still attending university, but have been eligible for graduation for a year now. You had enough credits to graduate last (the year before NICE) December, but there were a few more classes you wanted to take out of interest that hadn’t been running in past years, so you stayed for all four years. Eren picks you up from your lectures.
Eren graduated in December before you guys went on vacation. By normal standards, that’s a semester early. However, he was supposed to be in this Honors Arts and Sciences program, that should have taken him another two semesters. He decided it wasn’t worth it, and dropped the honors part, and with that, had enough credits to graduate, so he did.
A college degree is really more of an accessory for him anyway, and school was never his thing. He’s decently smart, sure, but he never enjoyed school because of the emphasis on exams; he’s more of a creative person, a dreamer if you will. The only reason he even went to Columbia was because you decided to go there. 
He and you both have enough money to live more than comfortably if neither of you decided to get a job after graduation… way more than enough/ But Eren isn’t doing nothing; he’s actually sorta been working his way into the world of professional interior design, and he really loves it. You’re proud of him, and more than anything, happy that he decided to go for something he loves.
Armin and Jean also graduated a semester early. Armin’s been living with Mikasa since Connie got his own place off-campus in January. Jean is a little upset blondie is living with his girlfriend before he is, but it’s whatever 🙄if it’s gonna be anyone, at least it’s Armin. 
Carla mentioned that Eren got married sometime during a NYFW interview (along with talking about her own recent marriage), and since then you both have interviewed for two magazines, one of which featured pictures from your smaller party in Paris. You’ve gotten requests from Vanity Fair and Vogue about your bigger wedding later in the year, but you guys haven’t invited any media officials as of yet.
You and Eren attend the MET Gala almost every year. You don’t walk the red carpet and nobody is scrambling to take your pictures; but you have passes because of Carla. Also, you could just buy your way in if you wanted you (and your friends have in the past). This year, Eren had to pay two security officers $10k in bribes because you two snuck away to fuck in… a part of the museum not sectioned off for the event. Whoopsies.
Even before Eren got him arrested, going out to brunch was kind of your and Armin’s thing. Eren insists he should be invited now that he’s your husband. He is not. (His bitterness grows when he learns that Jean has secured himself an invite somehow).
Eren sold the car he got arrested for drag racing in. He never told you why—and as far as transportation goes, it wasn’t a big deal because you guys have other cars—but, to him, it was a kind of symbol. He thinks it’s dumb if he thinks too long about it, but he just didn’t wanna have that there are a reminder of how he’d hurt you and his mom.
Jean still drives you to your therapy appointments, but now Eren picks you up. Eren also goes to therapy himself, and has been before you guys got married; his therapist says he’s undoubtedly happier in recent sessions… like a weight’s been lifted off his shoulder.
As far as drugs go, there’s, of course, weed on a happy occasion, or at a party; but he hasn’t touched coke since that one time (which was also the first time he’d ever done it). That’s not even him being a changed man, he just didn’t like it—he only argued with you about it because he was being stubborn. He’s more of a drinker than anything, and absolutely loves to get you drunk on a special occasion, too; he always has. He thinks you look cute, and he likes taking care of you.
You have lived in that apartment with Eren for years before marrying him, yet he insisted you needed to christen the place like it was brand new… at this point, the only places you haven’t fucked in are the elevator itself, the foyer, the storage closet, and the pool. The latter only because it’s been too cold in NYC… trust and believe pool sex is coming lmfao.
Eren bought the apartment and renovated and designed it, but he never did like being in it all alone, and that’s been magnified since you got married. If he’s there by himself, he’s usually in the living area, napping on the daybed. He waits for your faithfully every day, and is hardly in the bedroom if you’re not.
Eren has not stopped introducing you as his wife since January. Even to people in passing like cashiers and bartenders, everyone in the whole damn city probably knows you guys got hitched.

───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────

───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Reiner Braun

You call Him; Send baby right back at him and he’d probably melt. Mans can dish out, but mans cannot receive. Also hunk ,,, just because we all know he do be built different. 
───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Erwin Smith
He calls You; Anything and everything - especially if no one else is around. His personal favorites, however, include darling, my beloved, and (yeah like Levi) sweetheart.

───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Miche Zacharias
He calls You; A n g e l. Because you are his angel, and he can’t believe how lucky he is to have you! (and he’s a huge romantic so.) 
You call Him; King. Call him king. It’s what he deserves. No I will not elaborate - if you don’t know then too bad - but if you do know then you deserve my respect.
───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Jean Kirschtien
He calls You; Classic ones like babe, and love. If he’s feeling romantic, or soft, he’ll pick up my love, and tbh it’s very cute to hear him say it first thing in the morning. 
You call Him; Call him your man or a variant of it, and he’ll burst with pride like ‘yeah, hear that? I’m their man’.

Eren Jaeger
He calls You; He only ever uses older names for you. Sugar, darling, doll, those kinds. He does like sugar most, he draws it out too. Ugh.

───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Armin Arlert
He calls You; Sunshine is the main one, and coming from him it’s gotta always put a bright smile on your face. He also calls you beloved, dearest,  and low key also seashell.

───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Connie Springer
He calls You; Dumptruck because of dat ass. He’d be one of those boyfriends who’d call you bruh no matter what gender you are. But I think also maybe sweetie could be something he’d call you too.
You call Him; Hot shot, ‘cause we all know he’s a bit like that, and we love him for it. But if you’re both having a moment, and you call him babe or angel eyes, he’ll want to just scoop you up and love you, so call him that please. 
───────✱.。:。✱.:。✧.。✰✧.。:✱───────
Kenny Ackerman
He calls You; He calls you pretty thing very often. But he can be nicer and calls you sweetcheeks instead - because he likes kissing your cheeks. uwu
You call Him; Teasingly call him old man please. I can imagine, despite how mean it can sound, I can imagine him loving the nature of it. It’s one of those relationships with a fair amount of banter.

Eren x Armin “Fuck Away The Pain Chapter 6 “It’s Comforting When You Do It"
Eren showcases another instrument under his belt, enjoying his newfound friends before a betrayal is revealed by the person you'd least expect.
*also quick note.
My story is also on Ao3 the link is below I would love it if y’all showed it some love on there too
https://archiveofourown.org/works/28809192?view_full_work=true
Armin woke but kept his eyes closed in hopes of going back to sleep. He patted the spot Eren should be in to find it empty. He sat up sleepily as he looked around for his boyfriend before seeing a note on the bed.
"Morning sunshine, don't worry I'm still here. I'm just making coffee and breakfast. I didn't know if you'd have a hangover so I brought you Advil and water. They're on your nightstand."
Armin smiled placing the note in his nightstand before getting up and slowly made his way to the dresser. He grabbed a pair of sweatpants and Eren’s hoodie that he "borrowed" earlier this week before walking into the kitchen with soft music playing. Armin walked up behind an unaware Eren wrapping his arms around his waist. "Morning Eren...." He mumbled leaning into the dark haired one's back.
"Morning surshine." Eren smiled as he finished making Armin‘s coffee. "Coffee?" blue asked to which Armin nodded and stepped back. Eren turned to face Armin, handing him his coffee, "Cream and sugar’s already in babe."
"You know how I make my coffee?" Armin took a small sip, his eyes widened in shock as it was perfect. "How?"
"I've watched you make your coffee for a like a week now. And whenever we go to Scout’s Coffee you get the caramel iced with 2 creams 3 sugars." Eren winked smiling. "Mayb e I'm better at this than I expected, huh?" He wrapped an arm around Armin‘s neck, leaned his head down and kissed the spot between his eyebrows gently.
"I've been saying that since day one, moron."
"Moron?"
"You’d think you would've gotten smarter after those private lessons." Armin smirked from behind his cup and looked up to see Eren with his eyebrow raised with a less than happy look on his face.
“You really wanna piss off the guy making you breakfast?"
"You really wanna try me on this?" Armin smiled as Eren chuckled as he leaned down, and pressed their lips together. The blonde sighed into the kiss before pulling away. "Let me make breakfast, you did make the coffee after all." Eren went to protest but was stopped by Armin pressing a finger against his lips. “Let me, please." He smiled as he grabbed the blonde's hand, pulling it away enough he could bend his head down pressing a kiss into Armin‘s palm.
"Sure Blondie." Eren pressed another kiss to the blonde's palm before stepping back leaning on the island in the kitchen. He reached over and turned the speaker up, now that he didn't have to worry about waking his boyfriend. "You ever listen to Against the Current?" Eren asked scrolling through his music. Armin shook his head no without looking up. "Okay, guess we're listening to her." He put his Against the Current playlist on before sipping his coffee. Eren hops on the counter near Armin and air drums the song playing as he hums along.
Armin watches briefly before turning back to the omelette he was making. "Hey babe? How many instruments can you play?" He plates the first omlette, and hands it to Eren pressing a kiss to his cheek. "I'm just curious 'cause you almost always pretend there's either a drumset or a piano in front of you. I already know you can play guitar, obviously."
"Uhmm.... I think I'm at 6? Let's see there's the guitar, violin, piano, drums, bass, and I taught myself the harp for fun." Eren chuckles nervously scratching the back of his head. "I guess that sounds kind of nerdy."
"Not at all. Music's your passion it makes sense, but I've never heard someone play the harp. I bet you're really good, it looks like you need really skilled fingers." Armin states plainly working on his omlette smirking to himself.
"Most instruments need- wait...." While it took Eren a minute to figure it out, his face went red at Armin‘s boldness. "Shit Blondie you can't just-" Eren looked to his boyfriend seeing the smirk on his face as he plated his omelette. "You little brat."
Armin gasped, "Me? A brat? Never." He teased as he carried his breakfast and coffee to the table. Eren joined him setting his omelette on the table and scooted his chair closer to Armin. He gently grabbed Armin‘s hand pressing a kiss to his knuckles. "What's that for?" the blonde asked, a faint red spreading across his cheeks.
"A thank you for breakfast. I'll bring you to one of the music stores I regular at one day, they have a harp and they let me play it all the time." Eren said smiling at Armin who nodded before they both started eating.
"ARMIN! Please be decent!" Mikasa called from outside the door before opening it and sighing in relief. "Oh thank god."
"What if I wasn't Mikasa? What if I getting railed on the table? What then?" Armin smiled as Eren doubled over in laughter. Mikasa freezes in the door as Sasha leans on the door laughing with tears in her eyes. "Oh hey Sasha." Sasha gives a quick wave before wrapping her arms around Mikasa’s shoulders.
"Okay in all honesty Mika, you should've expected that." Sasha rested her head on Mikasa’s shoulder smiling up at her.
"Fair point."
"Guys have you ever heard someone play the harp?" Armin asked as the girls sat at the table with them, to which they both shook their heads no. "Eren, can they come? He was gonna play the harp for me at a music store someday."
"Why not today? We’re all here." Eren suggested as he and Armin finished their food. He looked over at the blonde next to him and noticed something odd. "Armin is that my hoodie?" Eren asked confused as to how he didn't notice.
"I have been wearing it all morning. How did you only just now realize this?" Armin asked in disbelief. Eren shrugged and grabbed the dishes and silverware bringing them to the sink. "Anyway, are you two down to go today?" Armin asked turning to face Mikasa and Sasha. Sasha nodded while Mikasa scanned Armin‘s chest seeing at least three hickies and two dark bite marks on his skin.
“Jesus Eren! Show some restraint!" Mikasa said concerned pointing at the marks as " Eren turns to them from the sink confused. "There has to be five marks on him."
"Ten actually but who's counting." Armin mumbles finishing his coffee turning to see Sasha and Mikasa with wide eyes. "What? There's some on my legs, I'd show you but I don't have any boxers on." Armin walked over to Eren, to put his mug in the sink, causing Sasha to notice the claw marks covering Eren’s back. She just shook her head before bringing Mikasa in for a soft kiss making them both smile.
Eren wrapped his arms around Armin after he finished the dishes. The blonde snuggled into his chest. "Mikasa's mad at me for the hickies isn't she?" Armin laughed as he nodded and Eren pressed his lips to his boyfriend's head. "Does she know you left more on me?" The blonde shook his head no with a smirk. "I'm not allowed to tell her am I?" He shook his head again and Eren signed running a hand through his hair. "Fucking brat." The brunette grabbed the back of Armin‘s head and pressed their lips together roughly. Armin moaned softly into the kiss, sending a shiver down Erens back.
The four decide to watch a movie before getting ready, Armin and Mikasa sit on the couch leaned into opposite corners, talking about their night. Sasha and Eren were in the kitchen getting drinks and snacks while chatting. She leaned on the island gazing at Mikasa with a smile. "Two years I couldn't say anything. And thanks to you, she's mine now."
Eren smiled at Sasha leaning on the counter next to her. "I like Mikasa, she hooked up the warriors with food, even when her boss yelled at her. Plus she always looked like she was enjoying our performances since day one, before we had any real traction." Eren grabbed a piece of popcorn before tossing it in his mouth. "C'mon they're waiting for us.” He said as he picked up two glasses and the popcorn bowl, leaving the soda and two other glasses for Sasha to grab. Eren walked to the couch setting the glasses and bowl on the coffee table as Sasha brought everything else. Eren laid on the couch cuddling into Armin‘s chest, smiling as the blonde wraps his arms around his waist. Sasha sat on Mikasa’s lap wrapping her arms around the black haired girl's neck. Mikasa pressed a kiss to Sasha's head and the four of them bunkered down to water the movie.

Levi sighed as he grabbed a new essay from the stack and pulled up the students grading portal up. It was Saturday so there were no kids at the school so he came in a pair of jeans and a dark sweater. He looked over to find he finished his tea and decided it was a good time to stretch his legs. Levi grabbed his teacup before making his way to the nearby break room and put his teacup on table. He backed up to grab a tea bag but crashed into large, muscular chest. Two large arms caught him at the waist before he fell, "Woah, easy there. You okay?" Levi looked up to find two blue eyes staring down at him. He felt his heart leap into his throat so he nodded, not trusting his voice. The stranger helped him stand and smiled gently. “My apologies I should've been more careful. I'm Erwin I teach War Studies."
Levi took a step back before looking up to meet his gaze. "Levi. I teach classical literature. Uh thank you for catching me." Erwin tilted his head smiling causing Levi to turn his head away. "Let me make you some tea in thanks." He turned and quickly started making the tea grabbing his spare teacup from the cabinet. Erwin sat at the table quietly observing Levi. Levi carries the two cups over placing one in front of Erwin and sat down at the table with Erwin. "I've never seen you here before. It's a random time to get a new teacher."
Erwin hummed, “Well the man teaching this before me fell ill, so my employment got pulled forward. My question is why are you here on a Saturday?" He asked as he took a small sip of tea.
"I don't like bringing my work home, so I come here to do my grading." Levi looks up from the table to see Erwin looking at him with a relaxed smile. He gave the blonde a small smile in return. 'He's got a solid foot on me in height, built like a damn Greek God, and his eyes.... I could stare into them forever.'
"Can I take you to dinner tonight?” Erwin inquired tilting his head. "I know that's a little out of the blue but I think I'd much enjoy your company."
"Yes. I think I'd enjoy that as well."
~~~~
Eren lead the group to his favorite store, "In here guys." He opened the door, holding it open for them. Armin smiled at Eren, placing a hand on his chest before going on his toes to kiss the dark haired boy's cheek and went into the store. Eren smiled walking in after Armin and waved at the man at the counter . "Hey Rocco!"
"Eren! My man!" Eren walked over dapping up the large tattooed man. "It's been ages since you've been in, you finally ready for your tattoo?" Eren shook his head laughing lightly. "Whatcha doing here then?”
"You still got that harp? I kinda promised my boyfriend I'd play it for him." Rocco stares at him with wide eyes. "Why is everyone always surprised? This is starting to hurt my feelings." He looked over to Armin holding his arm out, to which the blonde walked over to cuddle into Eren. "Do you have the harp or not?"
“Sorry man, I just never pegged you as a commitment guy. Happy for you, but yea it's still in tester room 4."
"Thanks, I'll make sure I come visit more often." Eren leads Armin and the girls to the room and once again holds the door for them. Mikasa and Sasha sat on the far part of the bench as Eren settled behind the harp, stretching his arms a bit. Armin sat on the nearest part of the bench and just watched Eren as he plucked a few strings mindlessly. He started playing ‘Young and Beautiful’ by Lana Del Ray perfectly his eyes fluttering shut, like he could play this in his sleep. Mikasa cuddled into Sasha, which got her a kiss on her head, as they listened. Armin watched Eren play his eyes focusing on the intricate movements of his hands. He started getting a sense that music was like second nature to Eren, like he was just born with music in his blood. He couldn't imagine ever getting tired listening to him play, let alone watching. Armin started noticing anytime he was playing, or even just practicing, he always looked in his element, his anxieties were just non-existent.
He ended up playing quite a few songs; Creep by Radiohead, Sweater Weather by The NBHD, and Perfect by Ed Sheeran, to name a few. The group eventually walks over to the convenience store nearby to get drinks and walk over to the park. They all sit at a large tree, Eren holding Armin who's sat between his legs his back to his chest. While Mikasa just rests her head on Sasha's shoulder. Armin listens to Eren bond with Sasha over some obscure band he's never heard of, but it makes him smile that he gets along with his friends. His face scrunches in confusion as his phone starts ringing. Armin pulls his phone out of his pocket and holds it to his ear. "Hello?"
"Armin? It's Marco, I know you probably don't wanna talk to me but I have to talk to you. It's driving me crazy, are you free?"
"I'm out with Mikasa, Sasha and Eren right now. Maybe later?"
"It’s important. I don't care if Eren’s with you, I just don't want to admit to this in front of Mika or Sasha yet."
"Fine, meet me at my place I'll text you the address." Armin hangs up quickly rolling his eye s. "Mikasa, Sash, Eren and I gotta go but we'll see you later yea?"They nod in response waving bye as Armin leads Eren to the car. He explains everything to the dark haired boy driving while pouting in the passenger seat. "This sucks I don't wanna talk to Jean's new boyfriend. Like yea we were friends before but it's just awkward now." Eren frowns hearing the hurt in his boyfriend's voice and reaches over to grab Armin‘s hand. The blonde pulls his hand away before turning his body to face the window. "Sorry Eren, I just don't wanna be touched right now."
Eren nods and parks the car. "I'm really bad at comforting so just tell me how I can help okay, sunshine?" Armin nods before getting out of the car and stormed up to his apartment. Eren sighed resting his forehead on the steering momentarily before looking over seeing Armin left his phone. He grabbed it as he got out and quickly made his way up to the apartment. “Baby? You left your phone in the car... Where are ya?”
"In here." Armin called from his room before pulling the pillow closer and buries his face in the fluff. Eren walked in to his room sitting on the bed, not even an arms length from him. "Can we just stay in bed after this?" He lifted his head and looked over at Eren, who nodded at him smiling. He sat up pulling his knees to his chest and rested his chin on his knees. "Can you play with my hair? It's really comforting when you do it." Armin pulled his hair out of the bun it was in as Eren scooted next to him. The dark haired one guided the blonde so his head rested in his lap and started running his hand through the blonde locks, occasionally twirling some around his fingers. Armin‘s eyes fluttered shut before he nuzzled his face into Eren’s stomach letting out a small hum. The two stay like that, Eren keeping his other hand at his side not to push Armin‘s boundaries, until the doorbell rings signaling Marco's arrival.
Armin groaned before getting up unceromoniously, and walked over to the door opening it for Marco silently. Eren wrapped an arm around Armin‘s shoulders catiously, relaxing when the blonde leaned into him. The couple sat on the couch as Marco sat on one of the chairs. "Look Jean said he was gonna tell you but he keeps chickening out and I'm really sorry Armin." Marco looked down at the ground, his face was scrunched up in pain. "You know how you came to us when we started college about you and Jean were constantly fighting, you couldn't figure out why?" Armin rolled his eyes before nodding.
"Marco I really don't have the patience for you to beat around the bush like this. Just say your piece."
"It was because of me. October 19th is our anniversary..." Marco said suddenly as his eyes tear up. Armin stares at Marco blankly his mouth hanging open in disbelief. "I know it was wrong I just couldn't help it, I started falling for him over the summer and I guess he felt the same.... He kept saying he was gonna tell you and end things but stuff kept coming up for you, so he didn't want to add stress to you." Marco looked up at Armin tearfully. "I am so sorry Armin. If I-"
"Get out." Armin spoke in a cold ruthless tone, that actually terrified Eren, glaring at the freckled boy with a harsh glare. Marco began to protest but Armin grabbed one of the glasses from earlier and threw it at Marco. The glass hit the wall behind Marco shattering into pieces as Armin rose from the couch. "Get out! And don't you dare tell anyone! I refuse to be made a fool by you two ever again! Don't even think of telling Jean, we will act like nothing has changed, but you'll get your karma in time. Now, get out." Marco ran out the door as fast as he could, tripping over his own feet in his haste. Armin fell to his knees and looked down at the ground as his breathing got shallow and uneven.
Eren got off the couch is reeling next to Armin on one knee reaching a hand towards him carefully. Armin turned to Eren with tears in his eyes before throwing his arms around his neck and held him tightly. Eren wraps his arms around the blonde‘s shoulders, feeling the shake from the silent crying from Armin. "I'm here Armin, I'm here." He pressed gentle kisses to Armin‘s head as he brought a hand to the blonde locks, twirling sections of it around his fingers. Eren held him as close as he could doing his best to keep his anger at bay. Since day one Eren wanted to beat that guy's head in, but he knew Armin needed him right now.
He couldn't imagine how pained his ball of sunshine was hearing that, I mean almost half his relationship was a lie. No matter how over it you are, finding out someone you loved betrayed you? How do you trust after that? All these thoughts and questions ran through Eren's mind on a loop, causing him to lose track of time. He shakes his head as if that got rid of the thoughts and hears quiet snores. "Blondie must've cried himself to sleep." He shifted Armin gently making it easier to pick him up bridal style before carrying his blonde to bed. Gently, Eren set him down and covered him to his chest with the blanket, before leaning down and pressing his lips against Armin‘s forehead. He walked out of Armin‘s room at the same time Mikasa got home, with no Sasha. "Sasha go home?"
"Got called into work, where's Armin?" She asked walking into the kitchen to get a snack before having to get ready for work.
"Sleeping. Avoid the living room, there's broken glass on the floor. You got a broom or something I can clean it up with?" Eren asked leaning on the door frame. Mikasa pointed to the closet before it registered.
"Wait. Why is there broken glass on the floor?"
"Ask Armin when he wakes up. I don't know who he's okay telling." He said plainly as he walked to the closet grabbing the broom and dust pan. "It's not that I doubt he'll tell you, it's just not my place to talk about it." Eren walks over and starts sweeping the shards of glass into the dustpan. He kneels down to pick up the bigger pieces and accidentally cuts his palm open. "Shit." He quickly cleaned the rest of the glass up and emptied the dustpan into the trash, "Hey Mika? Can you help with this?" He held his hand out to her and she nodded grabbing their first aid kit.
She pointed to one of the stools at the counter. "Sit." Eren nodded sitting on the stool before Mikasa took his hand running a wipe over the cut.
"Ow! Shit that stings!"
"Lower your voice, you'll wake Armin." She said calmly as she cleaned the cut while Eren winced. "Don't be such a baby. It's not that bad." Eren glared at her as she wrapped the injured hand in gauze. "In a few hours you should be able to replace the gauze with a regular bandaid."
"Thanks, Mika." Eren groaned as he laid on the counter. "Do you still like Jean? I know you were all friends in high school and everything."
"I'm neutral? Guess that's the best way to describe it. Sasha's still friends with him so I have to be civil, but honestly I couldn't really care less." She said putting away the kit. "I have to get ready for work, if he's feeling up to it I'll get you guys a drink or two on the house. Just drop by okay?" Eren nodded and she retreated to her room.
Eren grabbed a plastic cup and filled it with water before going to Armin. He set the cup on the nightstand and brushed some stray hairs out of the blonde’s face. Eren sat by Armin on the bed moving some pillows so he could rest his back against the headboard. The blonde groaned as the bed moved under Eren and his eyes slowly fluttered open. “Eren?”
"I'm here sunshine." Armin turned to face Eren before grabbing his wrist pulling his hand to his hair. "Okay baby. C'mere." Eren moved Armin so his head rested in his lap before running his hands through the blonde hair gently. "Anything I can do just tell me." The blonde nodded as a comfortable silence fell over them.
"Distract me." Armin said after roughly five minutes passed. Eren raised his eyebrow in confusion as Armin sat up and quickly straddled his lap. "Please.... I don't wanna think right now..." The blonde wrapped his arms around the other's neck giving him a pleading look. The brunette’s eyes widened in realization before grabbing his boyfriends waist and nodding. Armin leaned down capturing Erens lips in a rough kiss pulling their bodies as close as possible.
‘Anything for you sunshine.'

LEVI'S POV
"You shouldn't be here. Do you miss prison so much?" I asked her.
"I'm doing anything wrong. Please, get lost..." she paused and then slightly turned her head, just to say "captain".
Captain. I repeated the sound of her voice articulating that word a couple of times more. Captain. Captain.
"Tch. I don't care. You should be in your room, sleeping"
"I can't" She confessed.
Well, apparently, I wasn't the only one not able to catch some sleep.
"Again. I. Don't. Care. Go back to your room"
She stayed silent, ignoring me and still staring at the sky.
"Oi. Are you deaf? I said. Back. To your room. Don't make me repeat myself or I'll push you down the building"
She suddenly turned her head over her shoulder, staring at me intensely. If looks could kill, I'd be dead right now. And yet, on second thought, her eyes were pretty reddish. Glassy. Close to tears. Was she crying before I caught her?
Too distracted by my own thoughts, I didn't notice she had slowly gotten up and pretty close to me. "You are all talk, captain, and no trousers, you know? Always threatening me with death and yet here I am. Still very much alive. Living and breathing"
Her tone ignited something almost animalistic inside of me. Something wicked. And at that moment, I totally lost it. Who she thinks she's talking to?
I fiercely grabbed her collar, brought her to the very edge of the roof, almost shoving her out of it.  One of her feet slightly whipped out of the corner, but her face remained stoic. Stony-faced. She grabbed my wrist to steady herself like she was trying to provoke me, fight me, but still stayed almost unmoved.
Looking me dead in the eyes, she was waiting for the death sentence from her executioner. Not a single word. Not a single whine. Isn't she afraid of me? Isn't she even afraid of dying?This must be a bluff. And yet, she never flinched.
Enough. I decided to let her go, throwing her to the ground. "Back to your room" I said once again.
"Captain?" she mumbled while I was already closing the roof's door behind my back.
Again. Captain. Captain. I turned back.
"Captain, before you go... I wanted to say... I-I'm sorry"
"Ok. Got it. Now, back to your room"
"No" She declared standing up, right in front of me "N-not for this. Well, also, but I wanted to say that I'm sorry... for Farlan...and Isabel... I've never stopped thinking about it. You know, about your reaction. They were close to you, weren't they? I'm so sorry... I was ordered to-"
"Don't" I interrupted her "Don't be sorry. It wasn't your fault. You couldn't know and that was your mission, right?" and then we stared at each other for what seemed a very long time.
I was looking for something else to say or some way to say nothing at all, but a little voice inside me told me to speak. To talk to her about it. But why? So, I soundly sighed and opened my mouth.
"Yes" I declared "We were close. Friends, you could say. More like a family, actually" She immediately tensed.
"I told you, don't be sorry... I don't need your pity" I spat as she was lightly shaking. What is the matter now? Why does she even care? Criminals don't care.
"I am. I am sorry" she replied straight away.
"You know, I'm pretty familiar with the underground. It challenges you in any way humanly possible until you can't bear it anymore, until you are capable of the most horrifying things, just to survive. Swim or you'll drown, right?"
She flinched a little and then said "So, I was right. You are the guy from the underground"
"Yeah... to be honest, our stories are pretty similar" I confessed.
"I don't think so, captain"
And then again, my childish curiosity spoke for me: "So tell me about it, cadet"
"There isn't much to say... You already know pretty much everything. Just a regular thug from the underground. Before that, to quote one of your comrades, a slut. A poor orphan making a living by working in a whorehouse. Oh, and I once was a survey corps' prisoner. The rest is history"
I couldn't find the right word to say. She really was a prostitute. And Oruo had the audacity to provoke her like that. I felt so upset. He was a great soldier but... a loutish most of the time. I was still speechless. If only she knew that also my mother used to work as a pr-...
"Well, captain, I've bothered you long enough now. So, I-"
"Forget about it" I suddenly spat "Whatever happened back then forget about it. Let your past die and most importantly, don't have any regret"
"Like you did?"
"Yes, and like you should. Be a better person. Do something good. Make new friends"
"I'm tryin-"
"No, you are not. I saw you today. I observed you. You barely speak to your mates. They are your comp-"
"I know you stared at me the whole time, captain" She teased me looking up at me. Was I staring at her? Was it that obvious? I thought.
"Shut up. That's my job, cadet. I have to survey you and your fellows"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night, captain"
"Tch. Be more sociable. Full stop. Now, back to your room..."
"Look who's talking..."
"Cadet. I warn you: you're playing with fire"
"I'm just saying that I did everything I was supposed to do today. I ate. I trained. I didn't try any "funny business" as you said, so-"
"That's not enough. You have to trust them and they have to trust you. Some of them will join the Survey Corps. Some of them we'll be in our squad, so you need to trust them. The next expedition will take place soon, so be more sociable. End of discussion"
"Ok, I wasn't sociable, buuuut I observed them if that counts for anything"
"Tch. Let's hear. Enlighten me, cadet. Share with me some of your wisdom"
She frowned her forehead, upset by my little tease, and then she started "Some of them are already both talented and motivated, like that Mikasa. Then we have a bunch of "I don't know why I'm here" beefy guys. Similarly, a bunch of "I want to be here but I don't know if I should", you know, the motivated but poorly skilled type. Still, I admire their spirit, like that Armin. He seems a nice person. And lastly, the ones who give me chills. Like that blondie, Annie. Her eyes looked almost dead... Even though she was the only one truly challenging me during the combat, she mumbled some nonsense, like that she wants to survive, she won't join the survey corps. And yet, she was one of the strongest in the group. Weirdo. Oh, and talking about weirdos, let's not forget our Jean. He hit on me three times. Three. Only during the training. And then once again soon after it ended"
"So, you can be very talkative when you want to, Daphne" And also, she had quite a good intuition. She could really read people. Wait... Did I just call her by her name?
"I-I was just trying to give you my point of view, captain..." Is she blushing? "I need some more time to trust them" She continued "I'm not good at socializing, let alone trusting people. I'll do better next time"
Yeah...I know what you're talking about...Trusting people ain't my thing either.
"Try. And now, go and try to sleep" I ordered "Tomorrow it'll be quite a busy day. Erwin just informed me there'll be Eren's sentence. Have you heard of him?"
"I heard Mikasa and that short blondie talking about him. They seemed pretty worried about him. So, is it true that he can shift?"
"Yeah, he's the guy. Tomorrow the Supreme Commander will determine which division will look after him... well, survey him. He's fundamental for our mission. We can't afford to lose him. So-"
"Yeah, I know. Back. To my room." She sighed almost mimicking me. I stared at her dead in the eyes. She enjoyed teasing me way too much for my liking.
"Good night, captain"
I nodded, unable to respond, while my head was still focused on that captain.
DAPHNE'S POV
I think I'll never get used to the sky.
I've dreamed about that so many times and yet I couldn't still find my peace. It felt like I couldn't allow myself to feel at ease, let alone content to even that view.
I had no choice, and actually, their offer had given me a little more time to think again about my plan. I would have wait and then, when the right opportunity would have come, I'd run away.
Maybe during the next expedition...What a coward, I thought immediately. I couldn't not only accomplish my mission but also I was no use to their cause. What a coward. Maybe I should have helped them, for a while, and then escape.
I was so conflicted, confused.
That night changed everything for me. When that thing, the titan, attacked me nothing else mattered. Any worry I had ever had in my life couldn't compare. Its expression haunted my thoughts throughout the day as I was trying to plot my way out of that place.
I needed to go back to the underground again, I couldn't let things that way. Wait for me... Wait for me, Abi...
As her face appeared between the shining dots of the wild blue yonder, a single tear dropped down along my cheek to my jaw. "Crying won't fix anything, you coward. Stop it" a voice in my head told me.
And that's when I sensed him. Someone. No, Levi was watching me, and soon after I said something to get his attention. He was just surveying me, yeah sure, but still, his presence didn't bother me that much, quite the opposite.
Scratch that, not only the titan, also the captain and his revelation about being the guy from the underground haunted me all day and for the rest of that night too.
Fortunately, the night didn't last that long, and "a busy day" awaited me.
First thing in the morning I headed to the cafeteria where a quite enthusiastic Hange was already bothering an unfazed Levi.
"Good moooorning, little early bird!" she shouted at me, while Levi only nodded in my direction, simulating a greeting.
"Why so early, darling?" Hange asked.
"The captain had informed me just yesterday that today we would have had a lot on our plate, so I wanted to be ready as soon as possible..." I replied.
Sincerely, I didn't want to be in their way. The faster I would have gained their trust, the faster I'd had a chance to run away.
Moreover, Levi seemed rather pleased with my answer. Did I catch him hiding a little smile in his cup?
"That's great! Since she's already here you two should accompany commander Erwin to the court, I'll go get the kid. I'm so thrilled to finally meet hiiim! See you there!!" and so she left.
Again, I was left alone with the captain. He took another sip and then extended one of his arms to a table behind him. "Here, eat something, so we can arrive at the court before the crowd" said Levi, not daring to even look at me.
"Good morning to you too, captain... and thanks anyway" I didn't make him repeat it and I did as he said. But here he was again, bossing me around while being nice.
He had prepared a cup of tea and some slices of bread with jam. Did he prepare it? For me? Is he just acting like a hunter feeding his prey right before killing it, or is he actually a caring person?
My little and silent breakfast was soon over, so we headed to the stable to get a couple of horses. Levi seemed to have his own and then he grabbed another horse for me: "Take care of it. Horses are pretty smart animals" he said while brushing his horse's mane "They have a great memory and they can understand human emotions. They'll read you right away...They are known to be able to smell fear, you know? So, remember what I said to you yesterday: forget about the past and be present. Moreover, don't be afraid. Whatever you're going to see today, trust me, trust us"
I nodded, swallowing soundly. I somehow did trust them. I trusted him.
"You're such a good little liar, aren't you, Dafne? You trust him, you trust them but they shouldn't trust you. You don't deserve being here, you don't deserve being a soldier" said again that voice.
However, we made it to the court and met Erwin right in front of it. I saw both of them chatting about something and before I could catch any clue the assembly had already started. The room was packed with people: soldiers from all the ranks, regular people, and even a priest.
"Get here, next to me" said Levi catching me by surprise "Be a good girl and stay quiet until the very end" When will he stop bossing me around?I want to punch him so bad.
"Now, look there. Right in front of you. See, that's the gendarmerie, our opponent. A bunch of chickenshit... If they win Eren's custody, they'll kill him straight away. And they still dare to call themselves soldiers" he explained.
I listen to him carefully as I scanned them one by one. Then Levi pinched my hand "Here he comes".
As soon as Eren got inside the room the air got heavier. The gendarmerie was pretty agitated, they made a big fuss while arguing with a mad priest. On the contrary, Erwin confronted them and without losing his cool he proved his point. He was in charge.
But still, everybody seemed to be afraid of Eren: what if he couldn't control himself? What if he was a bluff? What if-
While the whole commission was arguing, Eren was kicked right in his face. LEVI. What the fuck is he doing??? He kicked him again, and again, and again. Even harder than before. He was ruthless. What the-
But I soon realized what he was doing. He was trying to prove he was in charge, that he had Eren under his power. He was the only one who could have stopped him if necessary. Fair enough, but isn't he even a little afraid of that kid? Levi is still a mystery.
Soon after, Mikasa tried to scream and suddenly stood up. So, I moved closer and stopped her "Wait, Mikasa. Wait and see. Trust me" I told her.
It was a setup, I knew it.
When Levi was satisfied with his job, Erwin started to speak again. He explained once again how indispensable was Eren's power to their mission and proposed to assign the boy to the only one who could have surveyed him: captain Levi. The supreme commander accepted. They won Eren's custody.
Soon after the end of the assembly, Hange, Erwin, Levi and I escorted Eren back to the HQ and tried to help him with his bruises. Hange had carried some medicine with her, but Eren was so in pain. Levi had been far from gentle with him.
That's when I remembered an unguent Martha used to hand me whenever I encountered a difficult customer. I once was beaten up pretty bad and I still remember Martha's words "Here, take this. You know, sometimes this type of thing happens around here. Get used to it, babygirl"
Yeah sure, like it was totally normal.
However, I tried my best to replicate the recipe pretty fast with some ingredients brought there by Hange.
"What are you doing, cadet?" immediately said Levi, standing behind me and observing what I was doing.
"What does it look like to you, captain? I'm trying to help him out" I confronted him.
We stared at each other. None of us dared to look away.
"Oh, c'mon Levi, cut her some slack" said Hange.
I glared at him once again and then got back to my recipe. Soon after I was finished and I handed the unguent to Eren.
Half-kneeling down in front of him I said "It should help speed up the process. Or at least it'll help endure the pain. It contains aloe" I smiled at him, trying to cheer him up a little.
"T-thank you s-so much, it feels really nice" He stuttered.
"You're welcome, kid. You did well today" I said as I playfully rubbed his head. He giggled.
"Wooo, it's true! It does feel nice. Where did you learn that, girl? I want the recipe now" Hange said enthusiastically as she was applying a little of my unguent on her arm. "This girl continues to amaze me, I'm glad you two captured her" she laughed and then she turned to face both Levi and Erwin. And so I did too.
The captain eyed me. Unfazed. A penny for your thoughts, Levi?
However, I chuckled a little. Hange's fervor was quite contagious, I must admit.
Suddenly something else caught my attention: Eren's bruises started to fade away. What the fuck?! "I think I saw something even more amazing, Hange. Look at his skin..." I said pointing to him "I don't think that was my unguent" What kind of witchcraft is this?
"No, darling, that's the titans' power. But still... how fascinating..." said Hange, drooling. Another weirdo. Well, another nice weirdo.
However, that's what Levi was talking about before. "Don't be afraid. Whatever you're going to see today, trust me, trust us" he said. I turned around to watch his reaction and he instantly glared at me. A hint of a smile appeared on my face. I wanted him to know I wasn't afraid.
The more I spent time with them the more I could see what they were about.
Soon after, Hange escorted Eren back to his dorm, while Erwin, Levi and I headed down the hallway in the opposite direction.
Before he left, Erwin said "We made it. Another step further" and then he approached me "You did well today too. Thanks for handling Mikasa, she could have gotten herself into trouble without you"
"Don't mention it, commander. She was just blinded by her feelings. She was clearly worried about Eren's fate, I totally get it" I replied.
"Sure, but you demonstrated a lot of self-control and discipline today. Well done, cadet"
"I'm just good at reading people and situations, but thanks commander" I tried to minimize my actions. "Look at yourself: behaving, obeying, being a good girl... what have you become, Daphne?" that voice inside my head echoed once again.
The commander discharged us, so Levi and I headed to our respective rooms.
"Are you happy now?" Levi suddenly asked me when we were almost at my door.
"Excuse me, captain?"
"Now I'll be on Eren's ass. I won't have time to survey you" he said, getting close to me. Way too close "Consider yourself lucky, cadet" he continued.
"If you ever miss my ass, captain, you can make an appointment. I'll definitely keep myself free for you" I teased him, preparing myself for the worst.
His jaw tensed as he scanned my face. He inhaled soundly, never looking away from me. He looked like a wild animal, a predator. His eyes were running furiously all over my face, restless.
"Calm down, captain. I was just messing with you..." I hissed, almost feeling my own breath coming back to my face. He was way too close.
"I've already warned you. Smartmouth, drop it already" he whispered "Just because you behaved today, it doesn't mean I'm buying it. I'll still keep an eye on you"
"Oh, my dear captain, I know you'll do" I teased him.
My fault. I brought it on myself. He gripped my jaw with just his hand and so my head banged on the door. He stared at me furiously but a small grin painted on my face. You don't know who you're fucking with, Levi.
He groaned and let go of me. His expression suddenly changed: did he regret acting out of rage?
"C'mon captain, it's time to go to sleep, right?" I whispered massaging my chin and trying to make eye-contact with him.
Levi suddenly grabbed my hand and took it away from my face. With his left one he cupped my cheek, so he started stroking my jaw with his thumb. I stared at him trying to keep my heart from jumping out of my ribcage.
His thumb softly traveled back and forth on my jaw, while the other fingers stayed solid on the back of my neck. What was that all of a sudden? And the expression on his face...He seemed sorry. Then his eyes traveled from my chin to my eyes, looking for something. He sighed soundly and moved his attention back to my jaw.
He eyed me once again and then left me there, without saying a word.
Once in my room, another sleepless night awaited me, and yet another day came. I really was a lucky bastard.
However, when the daylight hit my window I got up, showered and then headed to the cafeteria where again a silent Levi was waiting for me. Sitting next to him was Eren, quietly eating. On my usual seating position, there were a cup and a plate. Again, Levi had prepared that for me.
I noticed the plate was stuffed with biscuits, slices of bread and some fruits. Was he making amends for yesterday? I smiled at him, but he stayed silent.
While I was still focused on the food, he shyly scanned my face, looking for some evidence of our last encounter. I saw him out of the corner of my eyes so I kindly asked "Is everything alright, captain?" but he just gave me a dirty look.
Once he was finished with his tea he started to speak "Today we'll move out of the HQ. We will travel a little and get to an old castle, which is actually the old HQ. There we will hide you, Eren, so that freak can continue her experiments on you in peace. Hurry up and meet me at the stable" and so he left.
I rolled my eyes, so Eren laughed a little. He was clearly afraid of the captain. How can I blame him?
"Scary, isn't he?" said Eren when Levi left the cafeteria.
"He is all barks and no bite, trust me. However, I guess he is just trying to be a good captain... in his own way, but I think I get it" I admitted.
"I heard he went hard on you too, right? You are the criminal from the underground... Oh, I'm sorry, it didn't come out that well... "
"No, don't worry. You're right, I am the criminal from the underground. And yes, he wasn't that gentle with me either" I said.
"But you don't seem frightened around him, how do you do that??" I really didn't know what to say... Maybe it was because if Levi wanted me dead, I would have already been worm food.
I didn't know for how long it would have lasted, but to be honest, judging from his last behaviors Levi seemed as conflicted as I was. Luckily for me.
After we finished our breakfast, we headed out and started our little trip along with the Special Operations Squad, also known as Squad Levi: that creep Oruo, Eld, Gunther and Petra. The elite squad of the Survey Corps, hand-picked by the almighty Captain Levi.
Once there, we all reunited in front of the gate.
"Oh God, this place is a mess. Look at all that weed!" exclaimed Gunther.
Indeed, it was a mess. A huge castle, for sure, but it rather looked like a dump now.
"In which case we have a problem, don't we?" said Levi, coming from our backs "Best get a broom and get to work".
Is he for real? A question mark appeared on my face and Petra immediately caught it.
"Oh, that was just the calm before the storm, now you'll see what captain Levi is really all about" she giggled as she took me by the arm, escorting me inside the building.

I absutely adore your writing! I get so excited when you post. I hope you don't mind my asking what your favorite lines are from your writing?
thancc 🥺♥️ i’m rlly glad you like it!!
also thANKS FOR ASKING THIS i loved answering it!! watch me shamelessly fawn over my writing below the break bc it got a lil bit too long oof
babylon (ch. 1)
“You and I both know you didn’t call me here just to apologize. What do you really want?”
Erwin silently chuckled. You knew him almost as much as he knew you.
“A good observation. I expected no less.”
“Just spit it out, blondie.”
babylon (ch. 2)
“Sure, that’s easy enough.” You say casually. “Would like me to get you the moon and the stars as well? Perhaps world peace and freedom for all while I’m at it.”
strawberries and cigarettes (always taste like you)
Levi remembers shifting, feeling an empty basket bumping against his leg, and he’s suddenly reminded of the strawberries he’d brought as he rushed to gather them all up with shaky hands and put them in the basket once more. “I brought you strawberries, just like you asked.” He remembered saying, pathetically placing it down next to your head. But it was too late. He was too late.
the short end of the stick
“H-he’s... he’s—“ “He’s what?”
Eren gulps and sighs deeply, speaking out so quietly his friends almost didn’t hear, speaking out in a mere shaky whisper as he utters his words.
“He’s a little spoon.”
you look so beautiful in white
It was a good choice, and Levi mentally made a reminder to himself to thank the florist for their recommendation (he’d never admit it but damn it they were right, white lilies did look better than white dahlias.)
honey, honey (how you thrill me)
Levi continues. “We don’t do anything that’s considered beyond friendship.”
Hange squints her eyes in suspicion. “Didn’t Y/N move into your apartment?”
“Yeah. Their landlord was shit.”
“Where I caught you having sex?”
“We’re fuck buddies and you don’t know how to knock.”
“But you introduced them to your mom as your fiance?”
“I lied so she would stop bugging me about getting married.”
“You literally have a shared bank account and a shared retirement fund!”
“It’s easier to keep track of.”
“Damn it, Levi!”
“may i?”
And suddenly, the distance between your lips was no more.
There were no fireworks, no explosions in your heart or butterflies in your belly. There was no feeling of cloud nine, no feeling of want or need. There was only warmth in your chest, the feleing of a small fireplace crackling and glowing in the coldness of the night. The feeling of warm sheets and warm bodies cuddled up in an embrace.
Home.
The feeling of home.
Because that’s what you were to Levi, and what Levi was to you.
like you mean it
“Thrust your hips up, babe.” You whisper into his ear. “Be a good boy and fuck me like you mean it.”
glimpse of me and you
“I love you, Levi.”
This time, Levi doesn’t bother to hide his smile. It wasn’t the first time you’ve said I love you, and it definitely wasn’t going to be the last. But it would never cease to amaze Levi how just three short words could turn his stoic and uninterested demeanor into one of smiles that reached his eyes.
“Y/N.”
“Hmm?”
“Marry me.”

“That makes no sense, Erwin.”
“It makes perfect sense. If I don’t get this job, I’m moving back home because I can’t afford to stay otherwise.” Erwin held up a hand. “And before you say something ridiculous, I refuse to stay with you and not contribute in some way. If I get the job, I’ll move my stuff in tomorrow. If not, then it will be easier for you to return everything.”
“Are you always so difficult?” Levi rubbed his temple, a major headache forming after a long day of debate.
“No. I’m just trying to be an adult here. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone in any way.”
“If I didn’t want to help you, I wouldn’t. Period.” Levi grabbed Erwin’s duffle bag. “If you don’t get this job tomorrow, and that’s a big fucking if, there’s other jobs you can apply for. Just call it a deferment in payment. Only I won’t charge interest.”
“I can’t do that,” Erwin argues, grabbing for his bag.
“I’m not really asking at this point, Erwin,” Levi scolded as he sidestepped the taller man. “You’re moving your shit in...now, right now.” Levi held the bag to his chest and left the apartment.
“Levi, wait! I didn’t have a chance to pack yet. That bag is empty!”
“Well, fuck.”
— —
“I left the keys to the Audi on the counter last night.” Erwin jumped at the sound of Levi’s voice as the sleek black Mercedes pulled up beside him. “You know, so you wouldn’t have to walk from downtown.”
“But it’s your car. What if I wrecked it or something scratched it?”
“That’s why I have insurance,” Levi reminded. “Get in the car. I can’t always drive by at the right time. Take the car next time.”
“But Levi-“
“But nothing. Take it or I’ll just buy you a new one.”
“You wouldn’t dare,” Erwin protested as he slid into the passenger seat.
“Try me,” Levi warned with a glare.
“Fine,” Erwin sighed in defeat.
“So, how did the interview go?”
“I start Monday. I actually interviewed with Judge Pixis himself. Rico said that he was so impressed by me that he is going to pay me more than he originally posted and he wants me to work full time during breaks.”
“I’m not usually one to say ‘I told you so,’ but…”
“Fine, you were right, but-“
“But nothing. I know Rico. She doesn’t lie and is brutally honest. If she said Pixis was impressed, he was impressed. Congratulations, Erwin. We’ll go out to dinner later to celebrate.” Levi’s face softened, and Erwin could almost swore he saw a smile. He almost hated to disappoint him.
“Sorry, Levi, but I really can’t afford to eat out just yet. I’ll take a rain check, though. After I get my first paycheck, we’ll go out.” Erwin was not prepared for the smack to the back of his head that propelled him forward, almost causing him to hit his head on the dash. “Ow, Levi!”
“You won’t be paying for anything. That is not how this is going to work,” Levi growled. “We will go home, I’ll sleep, and you will contact your professors regarding any makeup assignments, and we will go out to dinner tonight.”
“Just like that,” Erwin snorted.
“Yeah, Blondie. Just like that.” Levi looked over with a cocky smirk, and Erwin’s heart skipped a beat.
And with that, Levi won this battle.
“Okay, we’ll go to dinner.”
— —
“Levi, I’m not so sure about this place. It looks awfully expensive,” Erwin said as he watched Levi hand the valet his keys. The blond looked at the building nervously, trying to tuck into himself, trying to become less noticeable.
“We’re celebrating. What else did you expect? A drive-thru?” Levi gently grasped his elbow. “Now come on.”
“But Levi-“
“What? What is wrong with you?” Levi turned to look at him fully.
“I don’t want to embarrass you. I’ve never eaten at a place this nice, Levi. My idea of a nice dinner is a franchise steakhouse.”
“It’s just a restaurant, Erwin. Unless you strip naked and eat off the floor with your bare hands, you’re not going to embarrass me.”
“I try not to be naked in front of other people if I can help it.”
Levi snorted. “Come on, let’s go eat.”
— —
“You’re the worst sugar daddy ever,” Mike announced.
“Hey!”
“Or he’s the worst sugar baby ever. I haven’t decided yet.” Mike grabbed a salad from the cooler. “I mean he basically told you that there was no way in hell you were going to get him naked. He does understand what a sugar daddy is, right?”
“Tche.” Levi wrinkled his nose at the soup selection, but poured himself a bowl of corn chowder anyway. “I’m not certain that he even knows that I’m trying to be his sugar daddy.”
“Well, that’s on you, my friend. Are you bringing him to the Casino Night fundraiser this weekend? Maybe I can pull him to the side-“
“Please, don’t even speak to him. I don’t want him to know that I associate with you.”
“Levi, you’re so mean. You might want to wipe that sour look off your face or he’ll never sleep with you.”
“Fuck you, Zacharius.”
“Nah, that’s why you have your little boy toy.”
— —
Levi was mulling over Mike’s assessment of his sugar daddy prowess as he turned the lock of his apartment door. He did notice that it smelled of clean laundry and...chocolate chip cookies? He toed off his shoes and padded toward the kitchen.
What. The. Hell?
Levi always knew that Erwin had a decent ass. He didn’t exactly flaunt it, but the cut of his jeans gave just enough of a hint. He thought he would be prepared for the moment he got to see said ass, but he was mistaken, so sadly mistaken. Because there was Erwin’s ass, encased in skin tight boxer briefs, wiggling around his kitchen to a song about lovely lady lumps. Song choice aside, it was almost a religious experience. Levi was ready to lay down an altar and worship that ass.
Holy Shit!
He wasn’t going to survive this boy. He was too old to experience things that made his heart beat that hard and that fast. Erwin was going to give him a heart attack. Why wasn’t he wearing clothes???
“Check it out,” Erwin sang (horribly off-key), and turned to find Levi standing there, staring. Staring at his chest, his sculpted abs…
‘Good god, Levi, don’t look lower!’
Too late.
And hot damn!
“Levi! You’re home early,” Erwin said with a smile, oblivious of the fact that Levi had just been staring at the bulge in his underwear...the very prominent bulge. Those boxer briefs really left nothing to the imagination.
“Levi? You okay? Rough day?”
“It’s fine, I’m fine. Just a long day,” Levi finally managed to say.
“I’ve done laundry and made some cookies. It’s just pre-made dough, but I’m hardly a chef. I haven’t started dinner yet because I didn’t think you would be home for another couple of hours.”
“No, it’s fine. I...I think...I’m going to take a shower, and I’ll help with dinner.” He had to pull it together. Erwin was looking at him like he was losing his mind.
“Sounds good. We’ll do something simple tonight, then. You look exhausted.” Erwin smiled brightly.
Great, Levi thought. He was thirsty for his roommate and Erwin thought he was just tired. Maybe Mike was right. He was a terrible sugar daddy.
— —
“So...how is it?”
“How is what?” Erwin looked up from his laptop to find Hange grinning at him maniacally.
“The sex? You can’t be a prude all of the time, so spill.”
“Uh...I don’t know what you’re talking about. Just who do you think I’ve had sex with? I haven’t had sex since Marie and I broke up.”
“What?” Hange gaped for a moment, open and closing their mouth, too confused to utter a word. “You’re joking...HA! You almost had me fooled.”
Erwin raised an eyebrow.
“Oh, you’re serious,” Hange crumpled. “Wait...you’re serious? What the hell?”
“What? I think I’m missing something.”
“Erwin, to be so smart, you are so incredibly dumb sometimes,” Hange groaned and leaned back in their seat.
“Hey!”
“No, really. I can’t believe that you’re so blind, or naive.”
“What are you going on about, Hange?”
“Levi, you dumb blond! You know, your sugar daddy.”
“My what? Wait, what? Are you saying-“
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch, my beautiful boy. Econ 101. I’ve seen the way that man looks at your ass. He’s just not doing this out of the kindness of his heart. I mean, he probably is to a certain extent, because he’s not heartless. And let’s face it, he’s probably not hurting for dates-“
“Hange, your point.”
“Oh, yeah. He wants to get you in bed with him, and he’s willing to support you financially to do it. Like I said, he’s your sugar daddy.”
“He’s never said anything about...repayment.” Erwin’s face scrunched in thought. “Does that make me a prostitute? Am I doing something illegal? I work for a judge, Hange.”
“Calm down. A relationship with an older, more financially stable man is not illegal. He not paying to have sex with you. He’s in a relationship with you and making sure all your needs and wants are being met.” Hange threw a paper ball at Erwin.
“Isn’t that basically the same thing? Am I taking advantage of him? Am I that desperate?” Erwin’s moral dilemma was obviously causing him to spiral, so Hange grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him violently.
“Answer me this: Are you attracted to Levi? I don’t want you to brush me off like you always do. I want an honest answer.”
“Well, yeah. He’s...so damn hot.”
“Do you like him on a personal level?”
“Of course.”
“You already know that he has some sort of attraction and emotional investment in you. The man threatened to buy you a car just so you can get work on time. He was appalled by the idea of you living in a dirty cheap hotel in a dead end town. He cares for you.” Hange loosened her grip. “Now the question is: do you think you can care for him, too?”
“I do care for him, and I’m attracted to him, but-“
“But what, Erwin?”
“What if he’s disappointed?” Erwin blushed.
“Disappointed? With what?”
“Sex. With me.” Erwin blew out an exasperated breath. “I’m not good at it, Hange. I’ve told you before, I’m awkward as hell. I haven’t slept with another man since undergrad, and it wasn’t great. Not that I’m any better with women. I mean, Marie couldn’t find someone else fast enough.”
“That’s because Marie is a slut and doesn’t deserve you.” Erwin looked unconvinced. “Seriously, though. Think about it. Levi’s an older man. He probably is a better lover than Frodo-“
“Flagon.”
“Whatever,” Hange waved off. “He might show you some things that will change your mind about sex and your insecurities. It’s not like he’s going to laugh at you, Erwin.”
“No, but he may never want to sleep with me again, and then he will realize that I’m a bad investment and cut his losses to find someone he really deserves. Not some stupid kid who can’t pay his own way or suck a dick.”
“Wow. You are spiraling. Okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this conversation to upset you.” Hange laid their head on Erwin’s shoulder. “I just wish you could see you how everyone else sees you. We love you, Erwin. And I think, if you gave him a chance, Levi will love you, too. But you got to love yourself enough to know you deserve it.”
“I’ll think about it.”
And Erwin did think about it. All night, he tossed and turned, mulling it over in his head. It wasn’t until the sun was peeking through the curtains and the sound of Levi shuffling in the kitchen before he made his decision.

Red String
Levi x Fem!Reader soulmate AU
AN: You drink tea and whatever other drink the way I do because I don’t like holding things by the handle! I just have a couple fingers go through the handle to actually hold the cup/mug.
----------
Living in the Underground Levi only followed the string that was connected to his left pinky finger once, only to stop when it went out of the whole where Isabel, Farlan and him would star gaze. After that he gave up on it since she was above ground while there was a slim chance that he would ever get out.
Although when Levi, Isabel and Farlan were taken by the Scouts he noticed his string got smaller, but still never followed it. It was something that was important to him at the time. 
----------
Knocking on the wooden door you waited to be called in. Hearing the faint ‘come in’ you entered. Saluting you greeted the commander. “At ease (Y/N), I need you to go check on how the recruits training is coming along,” Commander Shadis said looking up from his stack of papers. “Do you want a report on all of them or just the new ones you mentioned before sir?” you asked dropping your salute. “Watch all of them, but specifically a report on the three new ones. The training commander is aware that you will be coming,” his intense eyes locked with yours. “Understood sir.” Dismissing you, you left to gather your belongings and saddle your horse.
“Hey (Y/N) where are you off to?” Erwin asked seeing you saddle your horse. “Commander Shadis asked me to do a report on the new recruits, I’ll be back in a few days,” you looked at him giving him a small smile. “Of course you’ll do well, you always do,” the tall blonde looked down on you and pat your head which you swatted away. “Don’t miss me too much blondie,” you teased getting up on your horse. “What am I supposed to do without you shining personality,” Erwin laughed shaking his head. “You’ll live... maybe,” you smirked at him, “now I suggest you move unless you want to be run down.” Laughing he held his hands up and moved away from your horse watching as you took off. 
----------
It was early afternoon when you arrived at the training camp, dismounting you were greeted by the commander. “Ah (L/N) you have finally arrived,” saluting the man you greeted him. Calling out to a cadet he had them put your horse in one of the stalls. “So sir, who are the news ones I was told about?” Sighing the commanding officer rubbed his neck, “One is hyperactive, the other is willing to work, and the other doesn’t tolerate anything or anyone.” “Oh... well this will be an interesting few days,” you adjusted your green cloak as you walked across the training grounds.
----------
Hearing the sound of a horse entering the camp many recruits stopped what they were doing to see who was coming. Having the horse quickly come out of its gallop pebbles flew out in multiple directions and then walked further into the camp, eyes turned their attention to the green that flowed out behind the rider. 
“It’s a scout!” multiple voices stated from different areas of the grounds like wild fire. This caught the attention of three people who were sitting under a tree. A pair of steel blue eyes watched with slight distaste at the scout, but that soon changed ever so slightly when he noticed where his string lead. The damn thing he avoided paying attention to was now connected to something he longed for and hated. Watching as you walked into the building with the commanding officer he looked away.
What bothered him, although he didn’t let it show, was that you didn’t look once at where the string was leading.
----------
“You can start your evaluation and training tomorrow morning.” “Understood sir,” you saluted and exited his office. Walking to where you were told you would be staying you opened the door and took off your cloak, but left your jacket on. Deciding you still the majority of the afternoon left you grabbed your ODM gear to train yourself. 
Walking back out into the courtyard you didn’t acknowledge any of the eyes that turned towards you as you walked away with your gear strapped on to the forest. As they say perfect practice makes perfect. 
Stopping before the tree line you felt the smallest pull on your left pinky finger and looked down at it flexing it slightly. Following the string you saw three people sitting under a tree they happened to be watching you, giving them a small smile you took off into the trees.
----------
“They seemed nice, right Levi?” Isabel nudged him with her elbow. “We don’t know anything about her Isabel, all she did was smile in this direction,” Farlan told her. Although to a certain male he noticed the way you looked down at your left hand before slowly looking towards their group. The three turned to observe your ODM skills. “She has a really pretty attack pattern,” Isabel commented watching as you twirled and flipped through the air cutting through the foam neck of the dummies. Farlan nodded his head, “I wonder how long she has been a scout, it’s almost like she is dancing while using her gear.” Levi couldn’t take his eyes off your form as you landed on a branch, his eyes just slightly wider than normal as he stayed silent.
“What do you think Levi,” the taller man looked down on the leader of their group. Steeling his face Levi looked away from your figure, “She is an idiot scout, the reason why we are stuck in this situation anyway.” Walking away from the clearing Levi headed toward the mess hall. Isabel and Farlan shared a look before following behind him.
----------
Calling it an evening you walked back to get a quick shower in before eating and turning in for the night. Once cleaned you put on a plain grey shirt and your uniform pants to get your food. You didn’t bother sitting at one of the tables with the rest of the recruits just wanting some time to think about the new information you got today. 
Taking your food outside you sat on the steps a few feet away from the door. “So they are here...” you murmured to yourself picking up your tea from the side of the cup. Unbeknownst to you there were three sets of ears listening to what you just said, and it meant more to someone in particular. A small head of red hair peaked around the corner and couldn’t help the snicker that fell past her lips and was immediately shushed by the blonde. “They hold the cup awkwardly like you Levi!” Isabel whispered only to get shushed again.
Not turning around you called out, “If you’re trying to collect information you need to be quieter.” A startled gasp was heard before it became a sheepish laugh, followed by what sounded like someone slapping the back of a head softly. Just from what you could hear you knew that was at least two people. A set of footsteps could be heard walking in your direction and taking a seat a little ways from you.
“Hi! I’m Isabel Magnolia,” you were met with a bright set of emerald eyes and equally bright smile. Reaching to take her hand you introduced yourself, (Y/N) (L/N).” Raising your voice a little you gave a devious smile to the girl, “To the gentlemen behind the wall it’s nice meeting you too!” The bundle of energy next to you couldn’t hold back the laughter as one man came out sheepishly rubbing his neck and the other had an indifferent look.
“The blonde is Farlan Church and the grumpy one is Levi Ackerman,” Isabel filled you in. “Ah, nice to meet you both,” you gave them a nod before returning to looking up at the sky. You now knew who you were connected to, but still haven’t made a comment on it and neither did the person you now know as Levi.
“Sorry for interrupting your evening,” Farlan said taking a seat next Isabel propping an arm on his knee. “It’s fine, I was just thinking about what will be happening these next few days,” you stated setting your cup down. Levi’s eyes went to your hands a saw the string still connecting both of you but also the fact that Isabel was right, you do hold a cup awkwardly.
----------
You listened to Isabel and Farlan tell stories of the Underground and they asked you questions about things outside the walls. During this time Levi watched your face and noticed that there wasn’t a single shred of judgement when they told stories from the Underground. Your eyes and smile caught the stoic man’s attention the most, they radiated a sense of hope but also calmness that he wanted to fall into. Noticing his gaze was on you you gave him a small smile, and Levi’s eyes grew a fraction larger but it wasn’t very noticeable. 
Rising and dusting off your pants you smiled at the trio, and a lingering gaze on the man connected at the end of the string. “Don’t stay out too late you three, I have large plans for tomorrow,” you smiled one last time before taking your things back into the building.
----------
“So... is that her?” Farlan gave Levi a knowing look. “Yeah, yeah that’s her,” Levi breathed out. “Is that what you expected?” Farlan pressed a little further. “I don’t know what I was expecting. I haven’t ever given the damn string thought really,” Levi looked down and flexed his pinky finger. 
----------
After breakfast you grabbed your ODM gear again and met with the recruits. “Alright recruits,” you eyed all of them who were lined up, “grab your ODM gear and get the tree line.” Leaving them to get their gear you waited and stared into the forest. Hearing the clanking of metal and multiple footsteps you turned around and eyed everyone again checking their gear. Satisfied you explained the exercise to them and their personal goal for it. Most of the recruits saluted you and took of into the forest other than the trio. 
Turning with a raised eyebrow you looked at them, “Yes?” Farlan and Isabel looked at each other before taking off on their ODM gear leaving you alone with Levi. “Why haven’t you mentioned it?” Levi walked up to stand next to you. “I will tell you that story tonight Levi, for now join the others in training.” Not liking having to wait for the answer but relenting he was about to take off you stopped him, “and Levi, bring your ODM.” Nodding he took off following the others.
----------
After dinner you grabbed your ODM and walked to the edge of the clearing and waited for the dark haired man. “Alright I am here, what couldn’t you tell me earlier?” Smiling mischievously at him you turned and flew off. “Damn it,” Levi huffed rolling his eyes and following after you.
Flying through the trees you landed at a higher branch that over looked a lake, and waited to see if Levi would find you. Not long did you have to wait since you heard the whirring of the ODM gear. “Alright I played your game will you tell me now?” Levi walked towards you and just for good measure put both hands on your waist to keep you from leaving again. 
“When I was younger before becoming a Scout I tried finding the end of the red string,” Levi nodded starting to understand where this was going. “When I couldn’t reach the end I decided to join the army, I didn’t think I would ever find the end of the string,” you held up your left hand and wiggled your pinky, “so I didn’t pay much attention to it after joining the Scouts and sometimes I’m surprised I have made it this long.” Levi stayed silent as you told him everything. 
“I’m glad I found you though Levi,” you touched your forehead to his you smiled. Levi, a man who didn’t appreciate contact from people, didn’t pull away instead a smile ghosted over his lips as his hands held you a little tighter. 
“I’m glad I finally found you,” Levi whispered as if talking any louder would ruin the moment. Leaning away from him just enough to see his eyes you smiled, “I am too.” “I won’t let you go I promise,” Levi only let out sentiment because it was you, his soulmate. “Never let me go,” you whispered pressing a small kiss to his lips and he hummed lightly before you pulled away. Grabbing your left with his you both watched as the string around your pinky fingers changed into a red tattoo and the string disappearing. 
Flashing a mischievous smile you twirled out of his hands taking off through the forest. Laughing slightly and shaking his head, “Get back here brat!” He jumped off the branch flying after you. “Catch me first Levi!” your laugh echoed off the trees.

‘I was walking by the roller coasters and SOMEONE’S SHOE FLEW OFF AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD’ AU Prompt
Eruri. From this prompt. Read more here or on AO3
Levi does not like theme parks.
They’re chaotic and noisy and unhygienic. Just thinking about how many people sat in the same seat and held the same softy bars and shat in on the same toilet was enough to cement a disgusted expression into his face. He was adamant about staying clear from any sort of bacteria ridden cesspool like an amusement part. But when Isabel came running in waving her pink cased cell phone in his face showing him news feeds of the brand new terrifyingly thrilling wooden coaster a nearby theme park had build. He had a hard time saying ‘no’.
Well, no actually. That’s a lie. He said ‘no’ quite a few times. But Izzy’s large green eyes eventually wore him down, and Levi found himself exactly where he swore he’d never be. In the center of Hell. It had to be. Nothing was worse than this. It was hot and loud, and he swears he can feel heat radiating off everyone’s bodies as they weave through the crowds.
Sweaty arms brushed up against Levi as he walks and his body goes ridged at the vulgarity of the situation. Bile choking up in his throat as an aggravated shutter racks through his body.
“Com’on Com’on Com’on!” Isabel cried, emerald eyes beaming in excitement. “This way!”
Levi let out a fuming sigh. He followed behind Isabel with the sourest expression imaginable. Children even staggered back when they saw him.
Farlan stepped a little closer and nudged him. “You could try to look like you’re having a good time, for Izzy’s sake at least.”
Levi shot him a death glare. He was almost at the end of his rope.
“Okay, okay.” Farlan said calmly. “ Maybe ‘having a good time’ is a bit of a stretch, but maybe a little less of a ‘I’m about to go on a homicidal rampage’ look.
Levi grimaced and looked away. He just wants to get his day over with. He’d ride the fucking ride and do whatever else Isabel wanted to do at the park, and then he would go home and pretend this day never happened.
Levi and Farlan followed Izzy through the crowds and eventually reached the back of the line. The very very unbelievably-long-as-fuck line. Levi knuckles couldn’t become whiter. The line stretched and weaved through multiple shaded areas, snaking it’s way to an unseeable destination.
Izzy giddily hopped in place in front of them, and Farlan stood next to Levi looking absolutely terrified.
“We’ll… uh… be there before you know it?” Farlan tried.
“Don’t talk.”
“It might help time go by faster.”
“Shut it.”
For the next fifteen minutes, Levi dug his hands into his shorts which, despite being the smallest pair of shorts he owned, were much too hot. Levi could feel the dampness of sweat on the back of his neck, and he didn’t need a mirror to know how flushed his pale skin probably was in this blistering heat. A pulsing headache was already beginning to form from all the screaming.
Isabel’s cheery voice suddenly grabbed his attention. “Big Bro, Look! The coaster’s com’n round again!”
Levi glanced beyond the wooden fence. The red metal track of the roller coaster towered high above them. Its closeness gave those in line something to watch. But it was probably more of a design based to tease the guests.
Levi could hear the screaming build before he saw the coaster. The large thing flew down the track at lightning speed and curved their way to pass overhead as it had before. As it whooshed by, there was a small gust of wind that Levi reveled in. Suddenly, his heart spiked.
He didn’t have time to pull his hands out of his pockets before he realized something in the center of his vision was barreling straight towards him. In an instant the shadow of the object passed over him. Something slammed into him. The pressure of it consumed his entire face. Levi’s vision jerked. Suddenly, he was seeing sky and trees.
Then the world went black.
-
When he came to, he realized he was no longer standing on a cement path in big-ass line. The coolness of the air told him that much. He was in the shade. The persistent hum of voices and the level of humidity told him he was still in the park.
Levi’s eyes peeked open. One of the first things he processed was white sheets and a red cross. Fuck. That makes sense.
 and he quickly found Falran and Isabel. They were standing a few meters away, intently listening to a doctor, or whatever the fuck a theme part medical station worker is called. They looked concerned as they nodded along to words Levi couldn’t hear. But, they weren’t the only ones there.
There were three other men standing close by listening along with his friends. There was a scraggly looking man with dark hair and a pathetic excuse of a beard as well as a ridiculously tall man with blond hair and heavy bangs. In the middle, was someone how had the bluest eyes Levi’s ever seen. His golden hair was combed back perfectly and fluffy blonde eyebrows knitted in concern. He was even wearing a short sleeved sweater vest. In short, he looked like an idiot… and maybe a bit like a kicked puppy.
Those sorry eyes were surprisingly endearing.
When doctor stepped away from them, the taller blond smirked. “I can’t believe you fucking hit him, Erwin.”
“I told you I didn’t want to come here, Mike. Look what happened!” Erwin said.
Mike smirked. “Yeah, I didn’t think you’d end up hospitalizing someone with your big feet.”
“This isn’t funny!” Erwin whisper yelled.
Erwin’s expression slowly grew more mortified. Levi’s eyes narrowed in confusion. Everything was still… foggy. As he continued to scan the group, he noticed something very odd. ‘Erwin’ was missing a shoe. Levi’s head throbbed and a strapping ache spread across his skull. Don’t fucking tell me.
There was a light gasp near him that grabbed his attention. The doctor was stading over him now.
“Mr. Ackerman?” They tested. “Mr. Ackerman are you awake, can you hear me?”
“What do you think?” He croaked out sarcastically.
No shit he was awake. His eyes were open. What kind of doctor is this? The doctor sighed and moved around him checking his vitals. At the commotion, the group outside looked his way, and he suddenly had five pairs of eyes locked on him. Isabel and Farlan rushed over. Levi held the gaze of the dorky looking blond who remained cemented in his place.
 “Levi, Bro!” Isabel bent down by his side. “How yuh feel’n?”
Levi found her worried eyes. With a flat expression he said, “Like I was hit by a brick.”
Farlan smirked. “Hah, Not so much.”
Levi nodded bitterly. It was a shoe. It had to be. It was the only thing that made sense.
“Was it Blondie’s?”
Farlan and Isabel’s eyes widened as they glanced at eachother.
“How’d yuh know?” Isabel asked.
“ ‘Cause he looks like he’s about to shit himself.” Levi said. “HEY BLONDIE!”
Erwin’s shoulders tightened. For a moment Levi wondered if he would even dare to step into the tent, but then the blond found his courage and came his way.
Farlan leaned down speaking fast and hushed. “Levi what are you doing?!”
“Having fun.” Levi said.
“Levi! He feels bad enough as is, don’t do anything stupid!”
“Were you knocked unconscious today?” Levi said in a simple almost innocent sounding voice.
“No-I”
“Then let me handle this.”
Farlan looked like he was going to say more but then Erwin was stepped close to the gurney Levi was laying on. Levi’s friends rose and gave the two some space. As they walked away their eyes shared a silent conversation.
Do you think that guy has any idea what’s about to happen to him?
No chance in hell.
They stepped back outside leaving Levi alone with Erwin and the doctor.
“Erwin?” Levi asked.
Erwin took in a breath and nodded. “Yes, that’s me.”
Levi crossed his arms and watched Erwin with a lingering deadened stare. Erwin shifted for a moment waiting for Levi to say more but he didn’t. Erwin awkwardly rubbed at the back of his neck.
“Are you… feeling all right?”
“What do you think?” Levi spat.
Erwin’s startled back. “I-uh-um- I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-“
“To what? To give me a concussion? Because I think you did.” Levi glanced at the doctor. “Do I have a concussion?”
The doctor paused. “It’s highly possible.” They said cautiously.
“Will I have to go to the hospital?” Levi asked flatly.
“We’ve already called you an ambulance. It might just be a concussion, but I do need to advise you to get yourself looked over to be safe.”
Levi slowly pulled his glare back to Erwin. “Well, that’s great.”
“If money is a problem, I can help however-”
Levi cut him off. He didn’t want to hear this dorky looking man with stupidly perfect eyes speak.
“Tell me, Blondie. I can’t see my face but your expression is giving me a good idea. Just how bad does this look exactly?” Levi’s words were laced with venom.
Erwin took in another breath. He stared at a part of Levi’s face that he couldn’t see. The blonde’s expression wavered, and Levi could see Erwin really didn’t want to tell him. But eventually he let out a reluctant sigh and answered. “It’s really bruising.”
The embers of anger ignited deep in Levi’s chest. “Peachy.”
“It-”
“It’s gonna keep getting darker for the next few hours!”
Erwin closed his mouth. Only just realizing that maybe he shouldn’t be talking to Levi right now. Throughout the whole conversation, Erwin had a sadness in his eyes, a sadness that made Levi want to hit him. Levi was still raging. This day sucked. Fuck all of it: the heat, the people, the noise, the ride, and fuck Erwin and his puppy face. He wasn’t even the one who got hit. And now, he couldn’t even grace Levi with being a dick so he could vent his frustration.
Despite it all, Erwin actually tried again.
“I really am very sorry for what happened, Levi.”
“Die shitting, asshole.”
Outside Erwin’s taller friend choked out a laugh while Erwin’s hurt only grew. Then, something cracked in Erwin’s expression. He closed his eyes and furrowed his brows. His lips curled into a tight frown. When he opened them, arctic eyes were leering down at Levi bitterly.
“You… are a horrible person.” His voice now cold.
Levi opened is mouth, gaping in shock. “I’m a horrible person!?”
“Yes.” Erwin said with conviction.
“You hit me with a shoe!”
“Accidentally.” Erwin corrected. His sudden boldness was unexpected. “It’s not like I made a conscious decision to knock you unconscious. I’ve done nothing but apologize and offer my help.”
Erwin let out a frustrated sigh and plopped down in a seat across from Levi. That perfectly combed hair of his came a little loose. For a fraction of a second, Levi didn’t think Erwin looked so much like an idiot. But only for  a moment.
“I didn’t even want to come out here today.” Erwin mumbled to himself.
Levi watched Erwin; perhaps he’d been a little hard on him. He wasn’t about to let it show though. His face fucking hurt, it made it heart to hold anything other than a grimace. The pain made him remember that he blamed Erwin. The light was hurting to hurt his eyes and nausea swirled in his stomach. Damn. He probably did have a concussion.
Levi sighed. “Yeah… Yeah me neither.”
Erwin perked up a little,. His eyes look softer than before. “Yeah?”
“Yeah.” Levi gestured out to his friends. “They really wanted to come though.”
A small smile graced Erwin’s lip, and this felt more genuine than his apologies had been. “I suppose we have that in command at the very least.”
A quiet moment settled between them. Rage slowly burned out like dying embers on a fire. The pain, however, was much more persistent. Levi’s head and face continued to throb. The voices of the crowd still lingered in the air, and the heat was just terrible, even in the shade. Levi rested his head back on the gurney and eyed Erwin.   
“You really wanna help?” Levi asked.
Erwin perked up for a moment, listening to what Levi had to say.
“Take me to the hospital.”
“What?”
Levi gestured back to their friends. “Those four idiots still wanna run around. I can’t speak for yours but, I know mine won’t admit to it. They’re too damn polite.” He paused. “You don’t want to be here. I never wanted to be here. And, ambulances are fucking expensive.”
There was a glimmer in Erwin’s eyes. He was right. They both wanted out. this was that chance. There was now a playful mischievousness in him tone. “Even so, you could just have your friends take you. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your day with the person that hit you with a shoe?”
Despite Levi’s glare, he answered. “He’s not so bad.”

For a prompt suggestion: Erwin finding out when Levi’s birthday is and he goes out to get him a present. Perhaps canonverse. 😅
((This got kinda long, so under a cut it goes))
“Hanji is bugging about her test subjects again. It freaks me out, the way she treats them like her children or something.” This wasn’t a new topic of discussion for them. Erwin heard about it daily, either from a ranting Levi, or an excitable Hanji, though they had yet to report any significant discoveries in terms of their foe.
Erwin hummed as he leafed through the extensive financial reports for the end of the year. Money wasted here. Money wasted there. Next year they would do better. They would have to, considering the upper class were hoarding their pennies in their high dollar homes, spending so much on food in a week that they could feed the underground for years. He understood why Levi hated them-
Levi!
From the corner of his eye, Erwin caught sight of humanity’s strongest storming across the office to wrench the door open before slamming it shut just as the words, “doesn’t ever fucking listen”, drifted in through the crack. Then he was gone, taking the negative energy that had been stuffing the room for an hour now with him.
Levi was always like that this time of year. Erwin didn’t understand why, but he had chalked it up as his aversion to the cold weather. Snow was his nemesis, and nipping breezes would turn his nose and cheeks red and leave him looking sour. It was cute, but it was a mistake to point it out.
Still, the thought alone brought a smile to his face and made the long night pass more quickly. He should do something for Levi. He wondered if giving a gift for the holiday would be too much. They had promised not to exchange that year. It was a waste of funds, and he knew Levi hoarded his hard earned money all year to pay for the birthday present he had been given. It wasn’t fair that Levi refused to share his, then shoot down his only other opportunity to give gifts.
And that bothered him for the rest of the night. In the morning, he was going into town. Even the simple gift of tea would please his partner, and that wouldn’t look too out of the ordinary. It was decided then and there that he would take a peek at Levi’s private collection that night. Hanji would still have him out celebrating, his handsome face pinched and cast down in a frown.
Yes, he would search tonight and make his purchase tomorrow. Then it was simply hiding it until Christmas rolled around. The corridors were empty. Everyone had gone into town, or was already in bed while Erwin dug his way through the small boxes of belongings that held Levi’s entire life. It didn’t seem like enough. Small mementos from his life in the underground: a couple of crude knives, a delicate tea pot and a single cup, various varieties of teas. It was hard to believe that a man who meant so much to humanity had barely collected enough in his lifetime to fill a couple of small shelves in a tiny closet.
“And what’s this?” He whispered to himself, curiosity winning over his caution when it came to digging too deeply into Levi’s personal life. It was a box he had never noticed before. It made a soft, clinking sound as he lifted it to study it’s contents. On top, written in the unsteady hand of a dying woman read:
My dearest Levi
This is all I have to give you. I am sorry I can’t be there for your birthday, but I hope you will remember me whenever you use this. I love you.
Scribbled below was a note- Do not open until December 25
Erwin was in shock. He almost dropped the box, but his eyes drifted back down to he contents.
Oh- Oh! That could work.
_____
Something was wrong. It had taken a full week for him to figure it out. The culprit had been precise, meticulous in the way they repacked his things, but Levi had figured it out. And now he just had to discover who the thief was. Who would dare take a box of useless junk that had nothing but sentimental value.
Knowing that it was missing made his heart ache, but why did it have to be just hours before the clock hit midnight and welcomed him to another year he had to try to survive on this planet. He wore a scowl so deep that his fellow soldiers scrambled from his path as he marched through the corridors, a bundle of bitterness and rage.
“Where the hell is Erwin?” He snapped at the recruit that had failed not to cross his path. “That dumbass better not still be in his office, I swear-”
He didn’t even wait for a reply, not even tossing the trembling boy another look as he returned to his stalking. It brought him around to the office in question, and he was actually shocked to see that it was vacant. There was a note on the desk though.
Levi, please join me in my room at midnight so that we may properly celebrate the festivities.
That was just like Erwin, so formal when they both knew he meant for them to fuck. It almost pulled the corner of his lips up into a smile. He was hunting down a relic of his past, but he couldn’t forget the amazing things he had managed to claim, and miraculously hold onto, in the present.
Two hours- He had two hours to clean up and make himself presentable. Which meant he had time to soak in a hot bath, forget his troubles before stealing away to the Commander’s quarters. The door was unlocked, so he let himself in.
And he saw it.
The box. Sitting there. Like he was meant to find it. But wait… that meant Erwin read the note. That meant Erwin knew what day it was as the clock struck midnight of Christmas morning.
A tic started in his jaw, raw fury burning in his chest as he stormed into the room and was blocked by a mountain of muscle before he could reach.
“Oof-” He stepped back, rubbing his nose to glare up at his partner. “What the actual fuck, Erwin? You’re the one that went through my shit? Why? I can’t believe-”
Erwin bent at the waist, stole Levi’s breath away with a lingering kiss that promised explanations, as well as a good night. “Happy birthday, Levi.” And before Levi could get mouthy and spout more accusations, Erwin held a finger to his lips until they thinned again. “Why didn’t you tell me that teacup was so special to you when I dropped it?”
Now his eyes went wide, then ducked with guilt as Erwin’s hand fell to cup his jaw in a familiar grip. “It wasn’t.” But that was lie. Erwin had found the evidence in the box, along with the broken pieces he still held onto. “I mean, it was, but it wasn’t.” It wasn’t because Erwin had long ago surpassed it in terms of importance. Making a teacup an issue, when he still had another and the pot, could have cost him something much rarer and irreplaceable. He couldn’t lose Erwin.
Thankfully, Erwin seemed to understand. He always understood, and that meant the world to someone who struggled stringing together words that were meaningful and sincere.
“You wouldn’t let me get you anything for Christmas, but you said nothing about your birthday.” Erwin’s smile was so genuinely soft, Levi couldn’t stay angry. Even if he was supposed to be cursing him for finding a loophole yet again.
Erwin grabbed the box. It had a little red ribbon tied around it, but he recognized the old wood. The ribbon unraveled under hasty fingers, and now Erwin looked nervous, like maybe he had second thoughts. “Calm down, Blondie. I’m going to kick your ass for this either way.” He only half teased as the ribbon fell to the floor. The box didn’t crunch anymore. He had to know what Erwin did with pieces. Surely he hadn’t thrown them away when he replaced them.
The lid creaked open on old hinges, and for a second he held his breath, eyes shut as if he were afraid. Instead, his jaw dropped. In the box sat the broken teacup, pieced together and sealed with gold. He had never seen anything like it in his life. His heart pounded against his chest as he lifted the delicate cup from the box. Every piece was there. He had memorized them all, knew exactly how they would fit back together, if only that were possible.
And of course, face Erwin with an impossible task, and he would find a way. “How?” He asked, mesmerized and turning it over between his fingers. It was broken yes, would never be the same, but now a piece of Erwin lived eternal through his tea set as well.
“It’s an old technique, rarely used.” Erwin explained, and Levi could only imagine the cost when their resources were so scarce within the walls. “It’s called kintsugi-”
“I don’t give a fuck what it’s called.” Levi cut him off. Carefully, he set the cup back in the box and set it aside. “You’re an idiot… But you’re my idiot.”
Levi fell into the embrace like a drowning man searching for air, and Erwin was ready to breathe it back into his lungs. They kissed, slow and steady, touching and appreciating one another and the bond that stood as strong as the streaks of gold in his teacup.
“At least it was only you going through my shit. I know I can kick your ass.”
Erwin smiled against his lips, lifted him to carry him to the bed they would share that night. “I love you, too, Levi.”
And it was the first time Erwin had seen Levi smile on his birthday. He promised that night to see them every year he had left in this life.

I’ll Carry You
So this is from last year’s Eruri week prompts, “Carrying” I hope you like it! _______ The first time Erwin carried Levi was just after their first excursion beyond the walls.  Isabel and Farlan were dead, their glazed over eyes still fresh in Levi’s mind… he needed a distraction, a connection, a warm pulse under his lips.  In Erwin Levi had found a reason to keep fighting, and he kept close to him as they re-entered the walls.  Levi didn’t give a shit that no one else in the Survey Corps trusted him, didn’t give a shit that Shadis loathed him, he kept his eyes on Erwin’s back and found that kept him steady.  He followed Erwin back to his office, saying nothing, wondering just when blondie would start to say something— apologize, maybe— about what had happened to his friends beyond the wall. “Levi—“ Erwin started, but Levi didn't want to fucking hear it.  He slammed Erwin against the door and started to kiss him.  Levi kept his eyes open, and felt a measure of satisfaction when the hesitation, fear, and confusion on Erwin’s face melted into something like excitement, arousal, and dominance.  
Erwin kissed him back, hoisted him up so they could kiss easier, and Levi wrapped his legs around Erwin’s waist.   Levi bit down on the pale flesh of Erwin’s neck, nipped up towards his ear.  “Farlan thought you were straight.”  He muttered, his deft hands making short work of Erwin’s button down shirt.  
Erwin’s smile was wry.  “Mm.  Not exactly.”  He said simply, walking them briskly to the comfortable couch that sat opposite his desk.  
He didn’t make a comment about how light Levi was, nor how small he was, didn’t try and bring up his dead friends, didn’t say anything to take them out of this moment.  He started kissing down Levi’s chest, was being tender and gentle with him and it made Levi feel sick.  
“Just fucking get on with it.”  He growled, pulling Erwin up by the collar so they could kiss once more.  Levi’s kisses were desperate and deep, peppered with sharp nips and bites to Erwin’s lips, his neck, his ear lobe.  
Erwin took his time, though, and slowly made Levi come apart beneath him.  Erwin cupped Levi’s face with his hand, the poorly healed cut that Levi had given him palpable on his cheek.  It must have hurt... probably still did hurt, actually.  Levi grasped his wrist and brought Erwin’s palm to his lips, the thin red line just barely, barely healing.
Thank you.  
** Levi didn’t really like being carried, especially. It made him feel vulnerable, and that was a position he didn’t like to put himself in.  Erwin respected that in a way his previous lovers really hadn’t, and Levi was grateful for it. As time went on though, he allowed himself to be more vulnerable in front of the commander.  He leaned on him, and Erwin leaned back… they kept each other standing, they carried each other’s burdens.  “You know.”  Levi started one night, pouring each of them a glass of brandy from Erwin’s secret office stash.  “If you ever get incapacitated beyond the walls, you’ll probably be too big for me to rescue.”  He cast his eyes up casually, like he didn’t want to see Erwin’s reaction to that statement. Erwin just chuckled and leaned back in his chair.  “I suppose you might be right.”  He mused.  “My horse must be the strongest in the legion, eh?  Worst case scenario you might be able to load me into one of the carts.” “Assuming anyone could even get you off the ground.  You’re, what, 200 pounds of dead weight?  I mean, you’re a valuable asset but no one wants to throw their back out, Erwin.”  Levi was trying his hardest not to smirk, but whenever he and Erwin got into these banter battles he found it quite difficult.  Erwin’s laugh was deep and silky, the corners of his eyes crinkled and Levi felt immeasurably pleased.   “Well we can’t have that, can we?  I suppose when the time comes you can leave me behind to fertilize the grass.” They clinked their glasses together and left it at that. ** “It's the commander!”  Someone, Levi didn't know fucking who it was, barked out, “We need some help!”  His goddamned ankle had still been acting up, he hadn’t been cleared for a mission yet, and fucking fuck fuck fuck Erwin had fucking promised it’d be okay.  He scrambled through the crowd and spotted his commander, white as a sheet, breathing shallow and rapid, absent most of his fucking arm.  Levi’s eyes went wide, his eyebrows lifted, and he took a moment to collect himself.  “Erwin.”  He breathed, kneeling down beside him in the medical cart.  “What did you do?” Levi should have been there.  Should have been on the mission, been at Erwin’s side like he always was.  Levi was Erwin’s fucking right hand— and now… His right hand was gone.   Levi tried to imagine what had happened, pictured himself ripping Erwin’s arm out of the titan’s mouth and getting him the fuck back home.  Erwin was lighter now, he supposed.  He might have been able to carry him.  When he heard the full events though, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.  Stubborn fucking bastard, down probably 20% of his blood, minus a limb, still together enough to complete the mission single handedly (heh), ride his own fucking horse home, and not collapse until everyone else was home safe.  People often wondered if Erwin Smith was even human.  Levi watched him in bed as he recovered, watched the white cotton of his bandage darken as a trickle of blood seeped through it.  He watched his chest rise and fall, he watched the sweat drip down his forehead while the agony consumed his sleep.  He was human.  Erwin Smith was human.  Levi allowed himself to rest his head against Erwin’s chest, taking comfort in hearing his heart beating through his slumber.  “Don’t worry, Erwin.  I’ll keep things running while you’re here.  Just… get better, okay?”  Erwin couldn’t hear him, but Levi closed the door quietly when he left anyway.  Erwin had always, always carried his burdens alone.  Levi wanted to make it easier for him, if he could.  ** “Don’t you fucking touch him.” Levi hissed, the blood more or less evaporated from his skin.  Eren jumped back, his eyes wide, his brow furrowed.   “Sorry— I-I didn’t mean to—“ He’d had his hand on Erwin’s shoulder, and Levi found it repulsive that the boy could even look at his commander.  “It doesn’t matter.”  Levi let out a long breath through his mouth and shut his eyes.  “No one touches him.” The horses were all but dead, their equipment and carts destroyed.  The sun was rising hot over Shingashina, and it was becoming obvious that the last survivors of the Survey Corps would not be able to bring any of their dead comrades home.  But they couldn’t fucking leave him here, right?  Not Erwin, not after everything he’d done, everything he’d lost.  Levi’s mind was working hard, trying to figure out a way to… maybe if Eren transformed again they could— “Levi.”  Hanji said eventually— coolly, tentatively, keeping Levi at arm’s length.  “I’m sorry.  We have to prioritize the injured.  We regroup, go to the basement, then we get back to Sina and figure out what to do next.”  Levi could hear the subtext in her voice— Erwin is dead because of you.  Erwin trusted you to make the right choice, and you killed him. How can humanity go on without him? He wasn’t sorry, he wasn’t going to explain.  No one would fucking understand it anyway.  Levi’s eyes were harsh and cold, and Eren wilted under his gaze.  The boy moved away under the guise of checking on Armin, but he knew he wasn’t welcome in this space. “I’m not leaving him here.”  Levi hissed once they were alone.  “I can’t leave him here to rot.” Hanji sighed and Levi noticed how tired she looked.  “…we have some time.”  She said eventually.  “You can look for somewhere more suitable.” The houses in Shingashina were largely damaged or deteriorating.  Levi picked one that had an overgrown garden at the front of it, attracted by the flowers which had somehow managed to grow here in the absence of humanity.   It seemed like it had been a pleasant home, once, and had a nice roomy attic with a window.  Levi hated the darkness, he hated dank spaces.  He didn’t want Erwin to rest somewhere without sunlight.   It was easy to close his mind off when he was cleaning, and he wanted the room to be spotless.  Five years worth of dust and grime came away easily under his fingertips, and the light from that cloudless sky bathed the neat little space.  Levi picked some flowers too, and put them in an empty bottle he’d found downstairs.  He… just wanted it to be nice for him, that’s all. The practicalities of moving Erwin’s body were another matter entirely.  Levi was adamant that no one else would touch him, especially not… people who had begged for Erwin’s death not two hours before.  The commander was a large man, an imposing one, and he easily had 60 pounds on Levi.  The captain was strong, of course, but… he didn’t want it to be undignified.  He didn’t want Erwin’s head flopping around, he didn’t want to fucking drop him.  So he strapped his commander to his back, grasping onto his strong left arm to keep him steady.  Erwin’s head rested on Levi’s shoulder, and it made him sick to feel how cold it was.  Levi had to ignore the sticky chill that seeped through Erwin’s wounds onto Levi’s uniform, the focused on keeping Erwin in place while his gear did most of the work.  ‘I’ve got you.’  He thought to himself.  ‘I won’t let you fall.’  He was careful as he gently rested Erwin on the bed, and he chanced a look at Erwin’s face. He looked peaceful, at least.  “Erwin…”  He said aloud, feeling foolish for speaking to a dead person.  “I… I’ll keep my promise,  I’ll kill that fucking hairy bastard.  And I’ll come back for you, okay?”  His throat felt tight and he pulled Erwin’s cloak over his face.  This was the last time he’d ever see Erwin again, probably.  The last time before his face rotted away, before his body was just bones.  When the dust was settled, when the future was more certain, Levi would return to this place.  Without words, without ceremony, he would carry Erwin one last time.

Soft snoring filled Eren’s bedroom Eren laid on his back and on top of him is a beautiful blonde who laid across his body horizontally over his stomach. A heavy flush on the blonde face from drinking. Eren knew it was a bad idea to get really wasted on a work day but, when Armin looked at him with those tearful beautiful blue eyes it was hard to tell him no.
Eren winced when he turned his head the catnip laced alcohol that’s really potent for their race can knock any Felinian to their asses. Lifting a hand to his face he rubbed at his temple before using the same hand to turn his alarm clock toward him from his night stand. It read sixfortyfive surprised at the number he sat up far too fast he almost hurled on the side of the bed when he slumped back down. பூனை தூக்கம் மது in writing in the english letters it’s also known as Pūṉai nep ālkahāl. If one ignore the end part that’s the name brand of their favorite drink, taking a few deep breath he sat up much slowly this time to get his bearing. Rolling the naked blondie off him he pulled his own naked body out from under him.
“Oh shit...oh shit oh shit, I’m going to be late!”
He hopped out of bed he rushed to his closet as fast as he could with a migraine he grabbed a black suit and went to his private bathroom. Hopefully a hot quick shower would make him feel more like himself than the hangover version of himself. Five minutes in he dressed himself brushed his teeth and was running out of his bathroom checking his wrist watch.
“Bye, Armin!”
Armin raised up long enough to muffle a have a good day and passed out again like a stone cold pussy.
He snagged his wallet he snagged little Eren from the lamp since his cellphone got busted in his last case and haven’t bought a new cell yet. At least with mini cutie he can call people and shit.
“Bye mini Erwin keep an eye on Armin for me.”
The mini cutie gave him a salute before rushing back to his bedroom. Eren turned on the alarm and locked his house on his way out.
He didn’t bother with traffic he ran to work and considering he’s only ten minutes away by foot and he cut it down by five just by running to work. He made it thirty minutes before work so he kept his quote after all these years.
“Oh thank god….I made it...shit….my head hurts…”
By the time he scanned into work he was looking for the room where everyone is going to meet. That’s right he has a new job position he is now in the Special Crime Division also known as SCD where he works. It’s not like he minded but, he didn’t really care for special treatment or this job. He had been working on two cases now one about women being kidnapped and sold off to slave ring and the other case is about a sick predator targeting small girls and sexually mutilating them. Those crime scene sets his fangs grinding on his lower lip to kill the son of a bitch word on the street from Armin he might know of that sick freak. But, due to Armin relationship with a fellow co-worker Erwin he had to keep his finding to himself. Least of all to give Erwin another reason for his bitchy ways he thought about telling Levi of his finding but, Levi already got work up the asses to be bothered by his own case..
Levi tired eyes won’t be fresh to look at his own case if he doesn’t take a break now and then so he took it upon himself to watch after his health. Unlike Levi he knows when to take a break from work and half the time he tempt him for some alone time and eating his cooking since Levi always passed up other people’s meal for his own. It’s sweet and he loves him for it but, his smoking habit has got to go. He’s perfect the way he is but, the stench of tobacco he can’t stand so when he asked to go get a pack of cigarette he smiled and went to his desk to retrieve a box of cigarette. When he came back to drop the candy box to him Levi opened it like any typical cigarette box he took a white stick out and set it a fire. Eren kept on smiling even when the candy started to melt Levi looked dumbfounded while Eren licked the melted chocolate at the end of that stick.
The brown chocolate goodness melted on his tongue before he pulled away,
“This is much more healthier to you than those cancer stick. I do this because I love you, Levi.”
Kissing his cheek Eren left him when he was clearly out of earshot someone told him that Levi told Alexander to go get him some real cigarette for him. Eren couldn’t help but, keep tabs on him from there on out. As he walked into the specified room his eyes landed on Levi first and despite the headache from his late night randevu of alcohol. Eren did not paid any attention to the others in the room first. From his mind eyes he can see them but, the custom of his people he will always greet his mate first. It’s weird like that but, that should mean how much he loves and respect him.
“Levi, good morning.” Eren gave Levi a hugged instead of a handshake no one in the office should be surprised about it as he step back to look him in the eye. Turning his head he looked to the new faces. One person in particular smelled of Levi….a handshake...It’s rare for Levi to touch someone barehanded...he often complain to him drunk about where a person hand been. Like their opposite hand wipe their shit with that hand and they liked touching him with that hand. Eren just laughed and told him not to worry since his hands are very clean he would always wash his hands before touching him after he done his business of using the toilet
Eren briefly shook hand with her she looked like the boss lady so he briefly shook hands,
“Hi, I’m Detective Eren Jaeger specialized in Special Victim Unit, sex crime and more. Guess I’m still in the special unit since this place is called Special Crime. Looking forward to working with you.”
Eren turned his gaze to the new people,
“All of you.”
Eren offered a smile to all of them before stepping away to set his coat on the hook, ‘God, I’m starving and this place don’t have my special stash. Gonna need to use Levi phone to call Armin to get me breakfast….and lunch….’ Eren looked to Levi he doesn’t look like he had anything for lunch either….probably skipped breakfast. ‘We could eat at Ria’s tea shop….Zander should be there…’
Levi looked at him for a moment but, Eren was preoccupied with his own thoughts at the moment go give him attention.
                                                                  -   -   -   -
An hour later Armin woke up groggily and very much ass naked in Eren’s bed he knows damn well he and Eren didn’t do anything either of the two would regret. Beside he’s far too loyal to do that to Erwin even if the bastard deserved it. Armin cracked a yawn while chibi Erwin gave him kisses on the mouth.
“Ahhh~ Good morning sweet pea.”
Kissing the mini lover back he looked for Mini Eren and Mini Armin…..
“Okay…..Where’s your love and Eren?”
Erwin did uppsie with his arms so he picked up the spoiled baby,
“So~”
“Mini Armin is with Erwin and Mini Eren was taken by Eren to work since he doesn’t have a cellphone.”
It spoke in the same baritone voice as Erwin even his facial expression and the way it expresses itself.
“I see. Communicate with Mini Armin to keep his mouth shut about my drinking. It’s none of Erwin’s business do you understand.”
Armin didn’t pose it as a question...because he should understand.
“Yes, no problem.”
“Thanks.”
Armin got out of bed shaking his hangover off unlike Eren he’s been drinking a lot longer then he has. Although that stuff can still knock him on his ass he can get over the side effect in the morning if he slept it off.
“Poor, Eren I know he’s going to have a hard time concentrating with catnip still in his system. I’ll pray for Levi.”
Which he did in the shower he prayed that Eren doesn’t pull Levi pants down and fuck him in his brand new office.
“Hahahaha, Actually I think he would like that alot. Afterall Levi’s gonna give birth to Eren’s baby. Ohhh I can’t wait to see a pregnant Levi! Shit! It be so awesome!!”
Taking a long long shower he got out and dressed up in Eren button down shirt he took a pair of clean panties out of one of Eren’s drawers that was his and slipped them over his ass and a pair of long thigh highs that cover mid thigh. He looked around for one of Eren’s tie and slipped it it on loosely. Putting his pandora black charmed heels he looked fabulous even if he left as he is now. But, instead he put on a thigh harness belt and slipped a gun inside the holster. Eren shirt covered the gun beautifully. Armin touched it absentmindedly he doesn’t really need a weapon he’s a Jaeger a Felinian at that and a Queen...a mad Queen… He’s evil...distrustful...a Queen like him can’t be loved after all… He’s a murderer, a thief, a hacker, he’s a liar too...He didn’t believe in honor among thieves…
The way he grew up there was no love….there was nothing in his world that resemble warmth. There was always a war in those who are the most salvage. They rape and kill, food is sacred, water is limited. Anyone could turn on the other at a given notice...childrens were no exception they were killed due to them being weak. He himself learned how to kill when he was four….The madness disease took root from there….it’s who he is every bit of that vileness...It’s how he rule them all….keep them in line…
“Erwin…”
The little mini version of Erwin climbed on him to get to his shoulder pampering him with kisses.
“Ah, I meant the bigger version of you.”
The mini Erwin nodded his head in understanding while secretly contacting mini Armin, meanwhile Mini Armin patted Erwin’s cheek and did a signal to be alone.
“It’s just….does Erwin even love me anymore? I mean look at me I’m trying to seek solace in you a mini adorable little thing.”
Erwin looked almost hurtful, “Don’t love me?”
Armin kissed his forehead,
“I will always love you and Erwin...it’s just….you have your mini Armin and...I thought I had the bigger version of you. I don’t want to share my other self to him. It’s dirty and vile and the only reason you love me is because I program you too. What’s the point of having a mate a real mate who won’t even love you for you? I mean what does he want Mary fucking Sue? A wife who stays at home watch the kid cook his meals and do his laundry that kind of mindless bimbo? I may be a blonde but, I’m not stupid. I’m smarter than he is smarter than fucking Levi and Alexander combine….and yet, I’m not smart enough to leave a man who down fucking grade me… The sex is good and all but, I get bored of him easily when he’s in his lecture mode. When was the last time we had a good time? Go to a movie go out to eat or go on a fucking vacation? Or shopping? Hell, I’d go for cuddling him at home in front of a dumb ass tv show just talking to each other….I don’t want us drowning alcohol to forget all of our problems and having wild uncontrollable sex I don’t want to be desperate enough to result to that by just wanting to have some time with him. But, I get so sick of him I want to run away from him. Sex alone isn’t going to make me stay and he should know that already considering how many time I did up and left him for months on end. At least I don’t kill a lot of humans he should be glad for that alone. Eren already gave me a set of rules and since I got those said ‘rules’ I haven’t done any of the very bad shit he keeps nagging me of. Maybe, his so called God created him to just annoy me to death. I’m at a breaking point of just leaving his ass and taking the bad Jagers to our homeland. I love him but, his bitchiness gotta go. I won’t even sire his youngs if things don’t change soon. And I really do….I want to have kids some day you know? I want to show the others they can love their young's….properly….but, I’d be damn if I let him do this to our kids..Am  I wrong? Am I missing something what am I doing wrong mini Erwin. You’re a replica of him so tell me what am I not seeing?”
The mini bot merely patted his cheeks smiling lovingly, “Eren is right, the two of you meaning you and Erwin alone should talk seriously. The two of you should sit down and express your feelings to each other you should let him in and see all of you as he should do the same thing with you. Being honest with each other should help build your trust back to where it was years ago when the two of you have meet. After all you dreamed of marrying him quite often and having your youngs circling you while your husband stroke your pregnant belly again.”
Armin glared at him “Sometimes, I regret spilling my powers into you and lil mini me...don’t regret Eren’s though. He’s loyal to me.”
Erwin gave him a grinned, “You know you love me.”
Armin stuck his tongue at him, “I wish I didn’t.”
Armin braided two section of his hair and pulled it back into a ponytail his lipgloss over his lips and his eyeshadow and linger bring out his eyes more.
He grabbed his keys and wallet on his way out,
“Let’s get Eren some snack and food. Put in the order for breakfast and send it to where lil mini me is. Deliver it to Eren Jaeger and put it on my card get your helmet on sweetie and hang on tight. I’m feeling reckless.” He told him laughing he didn’t need a phone with lil bot here.
“Hell, if things don’t work out with Erwin you can be my second mate” Climbing on his motorcycle. Erwin synced himself with the bike and light it up Armin ditch the helmet he start it up by turning the handle on his left back toward him. Having Erwin start it up was a lot easier then doing the necessary steps to go for a ride.
Armin zipped out of the garage from Eren’s house and speed toward the highway Armin didn’t care if the police decided to trail him. It would be their funeral after all he easily had Erwin hacked into the street lights to change it green when he leaves and red when he passed by a certain part.
The whole time Erwin held on tight his body snugged under Eren’s button down suit tops. Another had passed he single handedly cleared out a shop chocolate, strawberry, lemon, blueberry, berries, he even got the ones that blended togethers, cookies, cakes, popcorn the usual. Oreos were the first thing he cleared out they could eat it together.
Driving bag with bags in the trunk and on his back and wrist were hard to maneuver if he were human. His wires kept everything right where it needed to be by the time he stopped at the new building where everyone seems to be working at he hopped off fixed himself to be presentable and walked into the place as if he owned it. He got checked out his gun obviously taken but, his other concealed weapon were hidden and taken with him when he walked with his escort to Eren his guest.
Armin by pass him to give Eren a hug but, his eyes shifted to Erwin.
“Erwin.”
He moved back and gushed at Eren, “Got your goodies, breakfast will be here in ten but, I’ll be gone before then. Ghislain will have my hide if I don’t get to this meeting on time. I’ll bring you lunch so don’t sweat about it. Oh and you too Levi, Eren didn’t have time to cook.”
Armin shifted his gaze to Erwin he was smiling to him but, it didn’t reach his eyes, “If you didn’t bring anything to eat, Erwin. I can cook for you too.”
He waited for a response once he got it he turned to Eren fixing his tie,
“Big man already at work, let me know if I can help with anything.”
Eren actually thought about, “Is there a way you can dress Levi up to be a woman?”
Armin snorted a laugh, “I. Can do. Anything. Tell me when and where and I’ll give him a total make over for you.”
Eren smiled, “Thanks and are you going to do the thing we were talking about last night?”
Armin switched to the language he was born to spoken too. “Not now, I don’t want to talk to him. I’m still furious with him. Just because I’ll cook for him does not mean I’ll go up to him sit on his lap twirl his beautiful locks and talk about my feelings..I’m still far to emotionally unbalanced to do this properly.”
Eren quirk an eyebrow, “As long as you do this seriously I will support you in any decision you will make. Since you know me I will never go back on my word I will sire your litters.”
Armin laughed, “You do know you don’t have to keep that promise we were hella drunk.”
Eren gave a look, “Drunk or not my word is my bond now go before Ghislain come after me for keeping you too long.”
“Kay, bye Bae.”
Armin looked at Erwin, “Bye, Detective Erwin.’
Armin glanced at Levi, “Ohhh Levi~ You should really keep an eye on Eren. Ahh, the shit we did last night...Eren got dope into another crazy ass shit because of me~”
“The hell do you mean.”
Armin pulled a cute innocent look. “I….so can’t tell you. You’d kill me.”
Levi got out of his chair and came after him Armin laughed and got the hell out of there. Levi never caught him.
Eren snickered and when Levi came back he tried to grab him for answers, “I can’t tell you here, Levi. It’s….it-s personally private….I can’t tell you with others around...So let’s wait until we go home yeah? Because, I am totally going to carry you away from here. So please be prepared when you don’t want to leave and I carry your ass over my shoulder.” He practically killed him with an angelic smile “Let’s get to work Levi.”
Levi grabbed him by the tie and pulled him back to him, “So what’s this about me being in a dress.”
Eren looked at him and glanced him up and down “You’d look hot in heels, Levi. Need you with me at the hottest club in seoul. I caught a lead in a case I’m doing annnnd I think you’d be interested in an intel of  one of your cases too so let’s work together like old time sake ya?”
Levi sighed at him, “I’ll do it for one condition….”
Eren grinned, “Name it and consider it done, Love.”
Levi actually showed a rare smile “A movie that came out on dvd, a meal, and that chocolate cake thing and-”
Eren put a finger to his lips, “I gotcha.” Eren nuzzled him sweetly before stepping off, “See you after work, Levi.”
Eren gave him a wink and went to his desk humming a hip song that was on youtube.
