aot characters as specific taylor swift songs 
**an: based on this post by @crazychaoticizzy - I just had to pick the songs for the albums that you picked bc they were so perfect :DDD 
erwin smith a place in this world - from debut
seemed like a no brainer, erwin gives country vibes 
like idk how to explain it but he would wear cowboy hats, and cowboy boots, and out of taylor’s discography he would be THE country album
erwin from texas agenda
“don’t know what’s down this road, i’m just walking / im just walking / trying to find a place in the world”
historia reiss the way I loved you - from fearless
right. 
miss fearless for SURE 
this is pregnant historia s4 who deserved a happy ending w/ ymir’s SONG SPECIFICALLY
cuz I know that farmer has 0 heat, esp compared to the love of my life ymir 
“he says you look beautiful tonight / and I feel perfectly fine / but I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain / it’s 2 am and i’m cursing your name / so in love that I acted insane but that’s the way I loved you” 
hange zoe mean - from speak now
idk just gives hange vibes
like they would LOVE to scream this song and air out their frustrations yk?? esp season 4 exhausted hange 
but hange does things on their own terms!!! hence the song 
“I bet you got pushed around / somebody made you cold / but the cycle ends right now / cause you can’t lead me down that road”
mikasa ackerman - sad beautiful tragic from red
so, basically any song on red. like the urge to pick all too well for the scarf line was too powerful 
BUT I had to pick this one cuz it’s so eremika it hurts
my red baby she is just like me fr 
“and time / is taking it’s sweet time erasing you / and you’ve got your demons / and darling they all look like me / cause we had a beautiful magic love affair there / what a sad beautiful tragic love affair” 
sasha braus - new romantics from 1989 
similar to 1989, sasha is all vibes, no skips, no emo crap
so, I had to pick the highest energy, scream at the top of your lungs, stick your head out the window song WHICH was the new romantics, obv. 
but song is just good vibes, makes u wanna dance which is very sasha I feel 
“and every day is like a battle / but every night with us is like a dream / we are too busy dancing, to get knocked off of our feet / the best people in life are free” 
levi ackerman - look what you made me do from reputation 
duh. 
may I quote that one scene where levi promises to kill zeke for erwin? yeah? yeah. 
also just has the whole revenge, justice thing in his vibes idk 
“the world moves on another day, another drama drama / but not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma / and when the world moves on, there’s one thing for sure / maybe I got mine but you’ll all get yours” 
connie springer - death by a thousand cuts from lover 
ok so
picked this song cuz baby connie just KEEPS GETTING BETRAYED  
let him rest. leave him alone. let him keep his friends. 
also sasha connie coded sorry I just know he’s stuck on things like this - sasha, his mom, eren 
“cause I can pretend it’s okay when it’s not / saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts / but if the story’s over, why am I still writing pages?” 
armin arlert - this is me trying from folklore 
I don’t even have to explain this one
like rlly, I don’t 
“they told me all of my cages were mental / so I got wasted like all my potential / I just wanted you to know / that this is me trying” 
reiner braun - evermore ft. bon iver from evermore 
WOOP
evermore will be post-war reiner’s jam like he finally gets to have his peace after struggling for so long 
specifically the lyric change from “this pain would be for evermore” to “this pain wouldn’t be for evermore” bc reiner finally gets to live in peace 
eren yeager - you’re on your own kid from midnights 
was gonna pick anti-hero, because he, in fact, is the problem
but you’re on your own kid, just his SONG. 
“I looked around in a blood soaked gown and saw something they can’t take away / so make the friendship bracelets / take the moment and taste it / you’ve got no reason to be afraid / you’re on your own kid, you always have been”

Could you Maybe write a headcanon about Levi and erwin taking in the reader after her parents died where she is living with all the scouts/cadet corps and just Like them being her two fake overprotective dads? (You Can add a Lil erenxreader if u want)
If you dont wanna write this thats totally fine, ily <3
“Father Figure,” Erwin x Levi Headcanon
Tumblr media
I actually really like this ideaaaa, I can imagine Levi and Erwin being over protective dads.
Summary: headcanon of Erwin and Levi as overprotective dads after they take baby you in after your parents die.
Warnings: noneee, just fluffy dads
.
.
.
Levi:
When Levi found you in the streets, skinny, on the brink of death and crying after witnessing your parents die from starvation, it had gave him horrible flashbacks from when he was in that same position.
He didn’t hesitate to take you in and raise you as his own, you even got comfortable enough to call him dad but they were times when you would switch between dad and Levi which he didn’t mind.
Once you became of age, you had tried to convince Levi to let you join the scouts but he continuously said no which made you bicker with him.
You definitely got your stubbornness from him 100%. The small arguments between you two were entertaining like two children fighting over the last slice of pizza until he would get irritated and made you clean.
When the new set of cadets came in, it wasn’t long that you became close friends with Eren, Armin and the rest of them since you were around their age but Levi had always tried his best to keep you separated from the cadets, it only made your dream to become a scout increase.
“When are you going to let me join the scouts, dad?” You brought the topic up once again, he was sure this was the millionth time this month you had brought it up but he was obviously being dramatic
“I’m not letting you join, Y/N. That will always be my final answer.” The annoyance in his tone was obvious and he had stared over at you, making you let out a groan.
“Why are you so afraid of me joining? I learned from the best and you’re keeping me trapped in here like a dog!” You certainly pushed his buttons even to the point where he would ask himself why he picked you up and took you in but of course he never regretted that decision, he loved you like his own.
“I’m not letting you go out there and risk your life under my watch, Y/N.”
“As if you don’t leave me here to risk your life and leave me wondering if I’ll become an orphan again.”
Levi grew quiet, he knew you were right but he never really went deep into thought about it and he couldn’t help but feel guilty once he saw it from your point of view.
“I doubt I’ll be dying anytime soon, too good at my job.” He said with a snarky attitude, his eyes moving back down to the papers in front of him.
“Doesn’t matter, you shouldn’t be hypocrite. I want to join the scouts.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“I said no.” Levi shot you a hard glare, making you close your mouth and breathe in through your nose.
“I don’t want to talk about it anymore, get out of here and go do your chores.” He simply said, using his hand to gesture you off and that had made you upset, mumbling words he couldn’t make out while you stepped towards the office door.
“Hey,” He spoke up again, making you turn around and you had gotten scared that he heard your mumbles and was probably going to add more chores to your list.
“I love you, alright? I’ll think about it.” Levi had a huge soft spot for you, his heart weighed heavily to even think about his own child joining the scouts. He wanted you to be somewhat normal and live a normal life.
“Really? You’re serious?”
“I might be but I can’t promise that I would agree to it, Y/N.” He said in a grumpy tone, a groan leaving his lips when you ran over to hug onto him.
“Thank you, dad.”
You certainly kept Levi on his toes and always gave him headaches to the point where he would miss the times you were young, adorable, didnt argue back, cuddling into him as you slept instead being a pain in the ass teenager but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
.
.
Erwin:
Erwin had somehow ended up at the scene. After wall Maria had fallen, they went through to try and find any survivors and that’s when his laid upon you. You were in your crib, quiet and completely unharmed.
Both of your parents were nowhere in sight and he had feared that they’ve been eaten by the Titans. He didn’t want to take you in, he had tried to fight the urge to have his emotions connected to his job but once he lifted you up in his arms, your big eyes instantly melted his heart.
After that, you grew up under his roof and under his supervision. It had taken him years for him to be comfortable enough to tell you that he wasn’t your real father and that your real parents had died, you were around 16 when he first sat you down and told you.
But that didn’t change the love you had for your father, you were very close with him and he made sure to be the best he could be, better than his dad at least.
Since you had lived with Erwin, you were always around the scouts and the cadets, you even had a small crush on Jean and once your father found out, he definitely started playing the overbearing dad to the point where he would watch you closely and even told the scouts to not entertain you.
That really didn’t stop you nor Jean from being friends and even flirting here and there but Jean would get scared every time Erwin would give you that deadly look.
After that, he tried to keep you away from the cadets/scouts and gave you more chores and stuff to do like go into town to shop, to do things where it would be far from the cadets and he would even force you to eat in his office with him instead with the others, it had gotten on your nerves but you were smart enough to not talk back and defy him in anyway, Erwin can definitely be harsh with punishments and treat you like a cadet.
But Erwin also was too soft when it came to you, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt you or make you hate him because you grew up to be a well grounded person, you grew up around the sweetest and smartest guy from the scouts and you learned hell of a lot from him.
“I seen you with Jean today.” Erwin spoke as he ate his food and you tried to avoid the topic, acting as if you were just asking him questions.
“I was just asking him where the cleaning supplies were, he had them last.” You cleared your throat, the little lie he can easily see right through.
“You don’t have to lie to me, I raised you better than that, Y/N.” He raised his eyebrow, giving you another chance to tell the truth.
“Sorry, dad.” You mumbled, picking at the food on your plate to keep yourself distracted from not making eye contact with him.
“Look, I hate to be the bad guy here. I didn’t want you to be so involved with the scouts like this but I guess it was unavoidable when we live here. I just don’t want you to involve emotions when it’s not promised that he’ll make it back alive every mission.” Erwin had to be nice, only for your sake but deep down he wish he could lock you away from all the cadets.
“You’re acting as if I’m about to marry him.” You snort out a laugh, looking up at him and he chuckled.
“Certainly not, that would be over my dead body before I allow that to happen.” He admitted, making you furrow your eyebrows.
“You’re so dramatic. I’m not dating Jean.” You rolled your eyes, he was always dramatic you thought. He always watched over you like a hawk and you never really understood why when you were perfectly safe living inside the base.
But deep down Erwin always feared that he would end up losing you. Even though he always told himself, no emotions or personal feelings when it came to joining the scouts and becoming commander but now his life revolved around you, making sure you were safe, healthy and happy above all but what he also feared the most is that he won’t make it home one day to you and that’s why he’s always so loving and over protective.
That’s why he constantly wants to spend time with his only child, he didn’t want you to feel how he felt when his father disappeared. So when it came to you hanging out Jean a little too much, the father instinct kicked in and he tried to get between, afraid of losing you to not only Titans but to another man.

hello! if it's okay can i please request a little levi comfort one shot or headcanons? basically where he helps his s/o through a point in her life where she feels like she isn't good enough for levi or anyone and is just a crying mess in her room? lots of fluff please! thank u so much <3
𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 (𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐢 𝐀𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬) ♡
text: wow thank you so much sweet anon for your request!!💕💕 i took my time to write this because i wanted it to be special and tried my best so i hope u enjoy this :,) pls send another request if you want to later in the future! ( i like ur ideas-). also sorry this was super late, i was busy with personal things and it got really hard for me to handle which took long ;c
synopsis: you were going through a really hard phase in your life right now. thinking you are not good enough to anyone, and not just anyone but especially your boyfriend, levi. he knows you well, too well, and he knows something is definitely up with you. once he finds out the reason he becomes devastated and comforts you in his own way which you realize it was quite unique and rare.
okay but big warning this is super fluff which will warm your heart (i promise!), and a lil bit of angst I guess🥺💕 enjoy!
He started to pick this up when you did not say ‘love’ back to him and when you started to avoid him, and talk less with him.
He tries to go closer to you and I find Levi trying to find the the right words what to say to you and he struggles to get the chance to hold your hand.
This actually made him upset and I find Levi a guy who later goes back and reflects everything he might have done to upset his girlfriend.
And this is canon, because Isayama stated the scene with rod, when Eren stopped as soon as he said that ‘comment’ when Levi was behind him, this made Levi think that had to mean this is how Eren and probably the others sees him. So when you slowly started to avoid him or not reply to him, this made him sad and he HAD to find out how to comfort u! sure he got upset but he wont sit down and do nothing.
It hurts his heart, because you are his lover.
But one day, he entered your bedroom and saw you crying your eyes out. Holding on to yourself as you sat down on the edge of your bedroom, sobbing. This shocked him, and his eyes would be wide open.
Since he shows a lot with actions, when he sees you crying, he goes and sits next to you and starts to rub from the nape of your neck and going down to your back slowly, showing that he is trying to calm down your sobbings and that he is here for you. “Let it out love, you have been strong for too long so don't hold back your tears.” Levi would say as you started to calm down. His heart would hurt and be in pain as he sees his lover cry, he wanted to help but he knew that it was always good to let it out first and wait till you are ready.
He then would mention all the times you were so nice, great and the many things you have done for him and others (just to cheer you up a bit) that y/n never even acknowledged. “D-Did I do that? I can’t seem to remember...” You would say as you wipe your tears with your fingers, Levi would sigh and give you a small smile, “You cant be forgetting that? that's why you mean a lot to me.” as he ruffled your hair.
He would go on and say that if you had close friends, family, etc and then including himself, there were people who care and love you. “And, you know I am always rooting for you to pull though whatever phase you are going through. I want you...to feel happy again, Y/N.” He would say quietly and softly rub your hands while looking at your E/C eyes, he was also clearly blushing and he tried his best not to stutter (cause that's how he is when he has a heart to heart conversation with you and he wants you to feel his warmth and love through his words)
“Whenever your ready to tell me either tomorrow or in a couple of days, that is fine but just know...I'm here.” Levi would say and hug your chest so lovely, you finally calmed down and decided to tell him what was bothering you.
Y/N: “It’s just....I feel like am”
Levi: “Like?”
Levi would patiently wait for your response and still looking at your eyes waiting for your answer as he was holding your face with both of this hands. “Like I’m not enough for....you” you looked away and pulled your face away from his face.
He was looking at you with a hurtful look on his face. Levi feels bad actually that you been thinking like this around him this whole time. “I thought I made u feel somehow special, cause you make me feel like that.”
He moved away and was by your side, he touched your hand and was pulling your fingers that was on the bed. “I’m sorry you were feeling like this. But, what is enough to begin with? Isn’t just being who you are...the good, kind, badass and lovely person you are is enough instead? To be good is enough, and I value that about you..”
“Levi….Love.” You say as you hiccup from your tears. That signaled him to go near you, so he got a chair and brought that in front of you as you were sitting on the edge of the bed and he held your hands softly and carefully while brining his handkerchief to wipe your tears that was running down your cheeks. “You know…I don’t think there was a day I did not think of you or did not love you. I cant even think of a day where I wasn't....and instead the days you weren’t by my side my mind was just filled with you.”
He does small affections and talks from the bottom of his heart while looking at you filled with love, and it was only to you and that meant a lot. He wouldn’t even do this to anyone as he doesn’t let anyone see this side of him but y/n, he cherishes this relationship so much.
He starts to take this opportunity to compliment you when he was longing to do that but, never knew how and when cause he was really nervous. He starts to talk how pretty your eyes, scars, hair, lips, body and so on is.
As he is complimenting you, go would go near you and towards your shoulders to leave some kisses there while he would brush your hair with his slender fingers smoothly “Is this okay?”. He wants to know if what he is doing is making you feel calm so he would continue if you nodded. He then whispers to your ear as he closes his eyes, “do you feel my love?”
He will encourage your self-care and confidence, because he really wants the best for you and realize how amazing you are!
“You know, I would be a fool to leave you alone tonight. I promised you that I will do everything in my power to help you once we got together to make us happy, Hm? So let me remind you tonight how special and enough you are to me..”
He would hold each of your finger one by one and stating every reason how much you mean to him “...even your fingers cant match up to the many reasons why you mean a lot to me.” Levi said with a soft chuckle and you started to blush.
After you and Levi spent a long time together, you both laid down on your bed and y/n slept first which gave Levi the chance to stare at your beautiful face this whole night. He loves it when you sleep next to him as he held you with his strong muscular arms, because this makes him at ease and at peace, he loved your presence it was magical to him.
After that long evening, he doesn't stop to show you his love and how much he thinks of you so he leaves you flowers on your bed whenever he goes out on a mission or even to wall sina/rose and you find that so pure. I see Levi actually doing this for his s/o as he tries to make up for his lack of words(cause he is kind of awkward with romantic words but that is only because he loves u deeply!!) he leaves u these flowers and you collect them all in a vase and that makes him wanna get you more.
Your presence meant the world to him, and Levi does not just pick ‘anyone’ to be his significant other and he felt such a lucky man to find you instead. This guy really loved his girlfriend, y/n.
Levi starts to interlock your pinky, he took this chance to finally overcome his awkwardness and shyness and he would do it anywhere.
Whenever you guys go out to buy something Levi would not let you leave the shop until you pick something. “Go on then, pick what you like.”
If you ask him literally ANYTHING, he is more than happy to try his best to help you and if he might not be able to, he will get others that will help you. In the end of the day you are gonna get that help.
When you both clean and you are both alone while the others went off to clean the other places, he would go behind you and hug you tightly around your waist and breathe in “you smell nice love, and you look nice.” And he would give you a long and soft kiss on the nape of your neck. No one would even believe you if you tell them that he is now recently doing this, but that just shows how special, important and enough you are to him and not anyone can see this side but you ❤️
He actually goes out and look for you one evening and he takes you to a nice spot in the cliff and u guys star gaze together?? I really see Levi doing this to cheer up his significant other and he would make his move later on by putting his hand around your waist and would give you kisses on your cheek under the moonlight. “Wow, it’s a beautiful night sky” his girlfriend would say looking up with finally a smile on her, this made Levi extremely happy inside. “It sure is, love.” Looking at you instead of the night sky with his soft smile that warmed your heart. It made your mind race. You were the only one who made him feel like this and even smile. You were more than enough to him.
Y/N: “Can we stay a little bit longer?”
Levi: “Little? Tch, I don't mind all night for you.” He would say while looking away to hide his face cause he was being nervous and he knew his face was red now!
He likes to watch your face reactions and expressions to any of his tea he would make for you or some snacks he would buy for you, and he finds it so cute. It was another of many ways to show his affection towards you.
Things happen for a reason right? and this made you see more of Levi and your bond with him was now stronger than ever.
Now, whenever you feel sad or want to cry, you now realize you have a shoulder to cry on and it was your amazing boyfriend, Levi.
He is literally more than ready to drop everything and give you one big embrace. “Darling, just know I am deeply in love with you. And I’m here to help, I mean what are partners for, Hm?” 
Like how he is always here to save you, have your back, support you, he will surely do anything else for you.
i hope you liked this anon and you are able to see this post c: <3 and if anyone else perhaps enjoyed it please leave a like or a reblog! I would appreciate it a lot <3 thanks again everyone :,)

Finally
Tumblr media
Pairing: Eren Jaeger x reader
Warnings: angst, mentions of violence & death, nsfw content
Summary: reader finally sees her lover Eren after the team retrieves him to the airship, yet he’s not the same. Will she bring him back?
Word count: 3.2k
A/N: Forgive me if some details are inaccurate, this is my rendering of the situation, so some things may not add up!
Tumblr media
Finally.
Finally, the day you’re going to see Eren again.
You shivered with anticipation, thinking about the letters that were going sparse, until there were none. You’ve been inseparable, supporting each other every step of the way, but Eren had to deal with unthinkable, horrible things along the same steps too, and you couldn’t take all of it away – the burning hatred seeped into his brain, numbing his senses and compassion.
He offered no explanation in letters as to why he’d stopped writing so often, and you didn’t ask for one – he’s in enemy’s land, surely he has his reasons, but deep down you knew he was pushing you away.
What were you going to say to him? Will you hug him? Will he hug you? You had no idea, and it was killing you.
Your adrenaline was over the roof. Everything around you was destroyed, splintered, ground to pieces – Eren did that.
It seemed that you lost it when you realized that Eren had transformed without the care of hurting innocent civilians – his sense of revenge was stronger than anything else. You haven’t been able to approach him yet, to look into his mesmerizing jade eyes. You suspected Captain Levi has positioned you away from him on purpose – who knows how you and Eren would’ve reacted to each other’s presence after so long.
You felt the insides of your stomach turn as you hooked your cables on the airship and zipped-lined towards it. Just a minute ago you saw how Mikasa made it inside, dragging Eren along. You heard a commotion above you – Captain Levi was cussing Eren out. The casual.
You felt how everyone stopped whatever they were doing as you were climbing on board – secretly, they all wanted to know what will happen once you two meet again. That’s how powerful you two are. Were.
Out of breath, you stood up, regaining your posture, your rifle still in hands as you finally looked at him: if not for the emerald sheen of his eyes, you wouldn’t have recognized this ragged, miserable man with a chestnut resembling that of a lion.
You stared into each other, the unbearable grief that consumed you rendering you immobile. Quickly, your vision worsened, tears blurring your eyes as you realized there’s nothing behind those of Eren. He looks at you, yet doesn’t say anything, doesn’t feel anything.
“Move,” Captain Levi muttered and lightly pushed you aside.
You tore your gaze away from Eren, breathing shallow breaths as you stumbled towards the wall, leaning on it.
And then you heard the shot.
~
It was unbearable. One fleeting moment, one slightest miscalculation, and she’s gone. Sasha is gone.
You kneeled beside her tomb with your head hanging down, hot teardrops sinking into the pale stone. Everything was always shit, but now… now it’s pure hell. You sobbed and raised your head to look at the cloudy sky, cutting off the air flow, trying to pull yourself together.
“Hey,” Jean approached you, Connie not far behind. “Come here.”
He crouched down to your level and placed his palms on your shoulders reassuringly, helping you stand up.
Eren was nowhere to be seen. He kept to himself in his quarters, but Captain Levi forbid anyone to properly visit him anyway. He thought Eren’s unstable.
But you thought the opposite. Eren’s perfectly stable – the deadly precision, calculation and determination fueled his conscious, revenge-fueled decisions, and frankly, you were afraid. He wasn’t thrashing around like he would years ago, screaming and tearing everything apart, consumed by fury – he knew what he was doing now.
The last time you laid eyes on him was during Sasha’s funeral, but it seemed that he wasn’t even there. His body was, of course, but his mind was fleeting somewhere else, somewhere where he could continue plotting the utter extermination of every last one of his enemies.
It’s going to be hard, bringing him back. Hell, you didn’t even know if it’s possible – he truly looked like a goner. But you were going to try, because there isn’t any other living being in the world you love more than Eren Jaeger.
~
You sat on your bed, facing the one that belonged to Sasha. She would tell you to stand up and go straight to Eren and whoop his ass for ignoring you.
You sank your teeth in your lower lip as you stood up and made your way towards Captain Levi’s office.
“Come in,” his low voice muttered after you knocked. He rolled his eyes when he saw it’s you.
“What is it?” he asked, his desk already stuffed with a bunch of paperwork.
“I need to visit Eren.” you realized how selfish your request sounds in the midst of everything, but you couldn’t help it.
“No.” he answered after a few seconds of regarding you, without any care in the world. “You’ll just wind him up.”
Your heart skipped a beat – if Captain Levi thought that Eren still feels something for you, then maybe it’s true.
“Please, Captain, I –”
“Stop whining, brat.” he hissed, silencing you.
There was a wall of miscommunication between the two of you as you stared at each other, trying to convince one another silently.
He put down his pen after a few moments and leaned back in his chair as he sighed slowly. “You’re gonna do it anyway, aren’t you?”
You shrugged ever so slightly as you stared at nothing in particular.
Some more silence passed. “I’ve not yet decided on giving you week’s-worth punishment for insubordination, but go. Get out.”
“Thank you, Captain.” you bowed your head to him quickly, suppressing your smile as you basically ran away.
Levi rubbed his forehead. “Stupid brats.”
~
As you approached the door of Eren’s room, your heart pounded against your ribs so hard, you truly thought they’re going to crack. Yet here you were, standing within a step from the door, eyeing the little crack of light that emits from within – it’s not completely closed.
You lifted your trembling arm and knocked softly, then once again, harder this time, thinking he may not have heard it.
“Eren?” you whispered weakly after you got no reply once again.
You gulped and pushed the door further, stepping in – empty. He’s not here.
You released a breath you didn’t realize you were holding as you stepped further, looking around. The whole room looked almost untouched if not for the sack of a few items he brought from his old room. Your eyes flicked towards a stack of letters on the desk – your letters.
Your lower lip quivered as you approached them, picking one up – not even opened.
Pain and anger spun like a vortex inside you, bringing hot tears to your eyes. How important must’ve been the reason that he denied you the slightest explanation?
The letter dropped back to the desk as you flinched, hearing the door shut behind you.
Gasping quietly, you turned around, seeing him clearly for the first time since a couple of days ago. He stood there in all his cool, newfound glory: hair long enough to be messily gathered in a bun, naked torso adorned with chiseled abs, V line protruding from his waistline, and pants that hugged his muscular legs.
He had a toweled hanging over his shoulder – that’s where he’s been, in the showers.
You didn’t know what was the exact reason for the hot blush that crept to your face in a second – the fact that Eren is even more attractive than you remember, or that you stood there like a mute, with your jaw basically on the floor.
His own gaze was unreadable – he watched you like a hawk as he approached the chair and draped the towel over its back, stuffing his hands in his pockets afterwards.
You snapped awake, glancing at the letters behind you, and then back at him. “You never opened them.”
“You need to forget me,” he spoke, staring directly in your eyes. “I’ve only have a few years left anyway, if I’m lucky.”
It hurt you how assured of his words he was as you turned your body from him, desperately trying to calm down. He stood there just the same when you dared to look at him again.
“Why are you doing this?” you asked, failing to conceal the tremble that laced your voice. “I’ve told you countless times, I’m with you until the end, and even then.”
“That’s exactly why.” he raised his voice just a bit, reminding of the old Eren you used to know. “I can’t bear the fact that you’re okay with… all this.”
You covered your face with your palms momentarily before stepping a couple of steps closer to him. “Did you honestly think I’ll go down with this scheme of yours?”
“I’m determined to make it happen.”
“Eren, don’t be stupid!” you couldn’t control yourself anymore. “I’m not some… weak maiden in need of constant attention! I’m your partner!”
“You want to be partner of the monster that I am?” he asked, a faint hint of disappointment in his voice.
You sighed, closing your eyes. “Eren…”
“I’m a murderer.” he said as he lessened the space between you a little more, trying to impose his truth on you – you could almost feel his breath on your skin, what made another shiver run down your spine.
You opened your eyes abruptly, because you knew he expected that you won’t be able to even look at him after what he’s done. His jade eyes were the same as before as you drowned in them.
You couldn’t help as you placed your dainty palms on his ripped upper arms, the tips of your fingers jolting with electricity. Eren felt that too, for you heard him draw in a sharp breath.
You were going to say something, but right now you couldn’t focus on anything other than your skins touching again, after all this time. You gulped as you gathered courage to lightly stroke down to his forearms.
“You’re not a monster.” you spoke again. “You’re just a hurt boy who can’t help but hurt others.”
He stayed silent, because he knew it’s true. You always did this to him – always had one last argument that made him shut up. His eyes became glassy as he looked down in shame, gripping your own forearms in his calloused palms.
“Come here,” you mumbled as you wound your arms around his neck, cradling him, as his own arms snaked around your waist, head buried in the crook of your neck.
You were only hugging, but it felt ecstatic. You gripped him tightly, swearing to yourself never to let go again. You felt a few wet drops run down your shoulder, yet Eren didn’t release a sound – you knew he was holding back.
“I’m sorry for everything.” he whispered. “You don’t deserve this.”
“Eren, you’re never getting rid of me.” you whispered into his hair before planting a tender kiss on his head.
He released a breathy laugh, tickling your neck. You nuzzled into each other more, and then you felt his lips on your neck, pecking it lightly, immediately blazing flames in your lower region.
You arched your neck back, providing him with an easier access to your skin. You couldn’t suppress a small gasp as his hot breath trailed up to your jaw, along with his longing-filled kisses.
“I missed you.” he whispered against your jaw, before pecking just below the corner of your lips.
Your mind was already in shambles. “Believe me, I missed you more.”
Your lips finally collided: desperate, needy, hungry. His fingers dug into your hips, aligning your centers as your palms slid down to the either side of his neck. You moaned into his lips between the famished, open-mouthed kisses as he gripped your behind, trying to savor it all.
Your palms were running down his chest on their own, exploring every crevice and scar, some old and some new, still unexplored. You felt his hand slide under the hem of your shirt up to your ribs, leaving a scalding-hot trail in its wake.
You rutted your hips against his automatically, getting needier with every passing second, your hands hooked around his neck again, holding on for dear life.
Your jaw slacked as he sneaked his hand under your bra, his fingers coming in contact with your hardened nipple. He drew back a little so that he could see your flushed face and hazy eyes, a light sheen of saliva reflecting from your slightly lolled out tongue.
“More, you say? Just how much?” he teased, his eyes darting from your eyes to your lips repeatedly, the corners of his lips upturned ever so slightly.
“Really, really much,” you whimpered before he discarded you of your shirt and bra, his hands roaming down your sides as he sucked on your jugular, your hands buried in his hair, ruining his bun.
“Jump.” he said between the wet kisses as you felt his hands under your thighs.
He made his way towards the bed before gently dropping you down on it, feeling the tent in his pants become unbearable, almost painful. How could it not, when you lay sprawled out under him, hair messy around your head like a halo, all the while needy breaths escaping your lips?
You knew exactly what you were doing to him, but you wanted to drive him crazy, to make up for all the painful time you’ve spent apart. You started wriggling out of your leggings, your gaze never leaving his eyes. He unbuttoned his own pants before they slid to the ground, revealing a formed tent under his boxers.
Suddenly, he grabbed you by your calves and yanked you closer, forcing a yelp from you. Second after his lips crashed on yours again, making their way down, passing your neck, collarbones, stomach, until they reached their destination.
You found it hard to breathe as he kissed your inner tight, getting closer and closer to where you needed him most.
“Eren,” you whimpered, your eyes closed, hands gripping the sheets. “Please…”
You felt him smile against your thigh before his tongue flicked against your clothed clit lightly, coaxing another high-pitched moan from you.
You put the back of your hand against your mouth quickly, embarrassed at the sudden reaction. You felt the bed shift before you opened your eyes and saw him parallel with your own body again.
“Don’t,” he asked as he removed your arm from your face. “I want to hear every little sound you make.”
He kissed you once before making his way back, hooking his fingers on your panties and sliding them down painfully slowly. The cold air on your skin peppered it with goosebumps, yet when you felt Eren’s face lower to your center, your body ignited once again.
A moan got stuck in your throat as you felt Eren’s slick tongue go all the way from your entrance to your clit, circling it, literally driving you crazy.
“Eren,” you moaned, the back of your head buried into the mattress as you wound your hands through his hair, completely ruining the bun, his chestnut hair falling to the sides and framing his face.
His fingers dug into your thighs as he pleasured you with his tongue, awakening the passion in you that was dormant during his absence.
Eren loved the taste of you on his tongue as he sucked on you, holding down your squirming hips. He knew you were close; he remembers everything your body language tells him.
“E-Eren, I’m gonna—” you choked out, confirming his observations.
You felt cold air hit your slick folds as Eren drew back, quickly discarding himself of his last piece of clothing before he leaned down, planting a sloppy kiss on your lips.
“Ready?” he breathed into your lips, receiving a nod.
The burning sensation followed his dick breaching your entrance, stretching it out after so long.
“Fuck,” he groaned against your mouth, having forgotten just how good your pussy feels.
You choked out a groan as you wound your legs around his waist, urging him to plunge deeper, despite the slight pain that strains you.
“This good?” he asks between his heavy breathing as he makes his way deeper into you.
“Yeah, yeah,” you nod quickly, your voice out of tune.
He finally hits your cervix, staying like that for a few moments, allowing you to adjust, peppering your neck with kisses as your chest rises and falls heavily.
You kiss his lips as you place a hand against his buttocks, urging him to go on. He goes back to the point of pulling out before hitting you deep again, building up his pace as he does so.
Your mind is getting hazier with each thrust – it seemed that the room turned into a sauna as you could almost see the huffs of air that escaped both of your mouths.
“You’re doing so good, baby,” he groaned against your ear as he pinned your hand above to your head, intertwining his fingers with yours.
He was barely controlling himself as your pussy clenched around him – he probably never had to restrain himself with you as he does now, regarding the absence of your touch for such a long amount of time. You’ve never been apart that long, and he hoped you’ll never be again.
“Eren!” you screamed, sensing your release fast approaching as you wound your hands around his neck.
He pounded into you hard, bringing some steamy memories of your times before for a moment.
Finally, you fell, arching your back, your stomach gliding against his, as every nerve of your brain exploded. Eren continued thrusting into you until a few moments after you felt his own release spilling inside you.
He moaned against the crook of your neck, planting a few kisses. He rolled to your side and faced the ceiling with his eyes closed, until they snapped open again, hearing you sniffle.
Guilt washed over him like a tempest as he leaned on his side, gently gripping your waist as you covered your eyes with the back of your forearm. “Did I hurt you??”
“No!” you yelped and removed your arm from your face, placing your palm on his cheek instead. For a moment you were so frightened he would blame himself for something he didn’t even do.
“No,” you repeated, more softly. “I’m just really happy you’re here.”
He leaned his forehead to yours, worry leaving his body almost visibly. He sighed as he brought you closer.
You tucked a few of his locks behind his ear, making him look a couple years younger. “I love your hair.”
Eren chuckled, his eyes still closed in the afterglow bliss. “Captain hates it. He said –”
Then it dawned on him. “Wait, how did you get here?” he leaned on his forearm as he looked at you, genuinely interested, amusement threatening to widen his smile any moment.
“I simply asked Captain.”
Eren raised an eyebrow. “And he let you?? Just like that?”
“Well,” you trailed off. “He did mention something about a punishment for insubordination…”
“Unbelievable,” Eren whispered, as he sunk back into the mattress, quiet laughs emanating from his chest, as you drew shapes on it with a stupid smile on your face. “And you still came.”
“I’ll be fine if you visit me at least twice while I’m behind bars?”
You two laughed even harder, and this moment, this tiny moment in the vast space surrounding everything, was perfect.

“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty.”
“Jean!”
The hushed voices stirred you out of the pleasant state of unconsciousness you had been in. A sharp pain shot through your head as you slowly opened your eyes, blinking quickly to adjust to the bright light. You flexed your fingers subtly as an attempt to gain awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Once you were comfortable, you slowly turned your head to your right and saw a scene you had grown painfully familiar with– Jean arguing with someone. The victim of the week was Armin, and you almost wanted to laugh at the quick back-and-forth between the two.
“Your bedside manner… sucks,” you managed to mumble. You cringed at the uncharacteristic hoarseness of your voice.
“There she is!” Jean exclaimed, shooting a victorious smirk at Armin, before fondly looking down at you, as he moved closer to your side.
You heard multiple gasps of your name, and you quickly turned your head to your left, before regretting it due to the sharp pang that followed in your head. Nevertheless, you mustered up as bright a smile as you could, looking at your friends who had all taken various positions throughout the room. Eren was the first to your bed, embracing you tightly.
“That was scary,” he softly mumbled your name, before pulling back, “Don’t do that again.”
The concern on his face startled you momentarily, and you couldn’t help but avert your eyes. You blinked quickly before looking up and shyly smiling at Eren.
“I’ll keep that in mind for next time.”
You then looked up at your fellow cadets, who stood surrounding your small bed in the infirmary. Your love for these people sat heavily in your chest, and you beamed up at them, before you realized you were in the infirmary.
“What happened?” you genuinely asked, your husky voice taking you by surprise again.
“Oh, I’ll tell you what happened!” Jean scowled, crossing his arms in anger, “That little bastard—”
“Jean, you can’t say that about the Captain!” Sasha chided, looking sideways in fear as if to emphasize her point.
“Captain, my ass!”
You attempted to stifle your giggling, yet your mood significantly dropped upon remembering Levi’s treatment towards you this past month. You tried to conceal your obviously bothered expression, but you felt a hand softly ruffle your hair. You looked up and smiled at Reiner.
“Don’t sweat it, kiddo, I’m sure he’ll tone down the punishments after this,” he reassured, obviously mistaking your dejection over your unreciprocated feelings for Levi for something else.
Appreciating the gesture, you continued to smile up at him while nodding softly. Reiner had a comforting presence, and you felt your mood brighten slightly.
“Fingers crossed,” you deadpanned, earning a soft laugh from Bertholdt, who had taken a seat at the foot of your bed.
Jean’s relentless bashing of the Captain continued, as Sasha, Connie, and Armin attempted to calm him down, warning him about the consequences they’d all have to face if word got back to Levi. Eren gritted his teeth in irritation, as he glared up at Jean, threatening to “knock him out if he didn’t shut up,” while Mikasa had silently moved around the chaos to rest her calloused hand on your own, silently squeezing as a gesture of comfort. You squeezed back.
“Look, all I’m saying is he obviously has it out for her. She’s a better soldier than all of us– even you, titan boy— and it’s still not good enough? I call bullshit!”
“I think he’s just trying to be a good teacher, I’m sure there’s a lot I can still improve on,” you justified, and all eyes turned to you.
“There’s not,” Mikasa bluntly stated, leaving no room for argument.
Your friends all agreed, and you scrunched your nose playfully to conceal the warmth that had spread throughout your body at their praise. You worked hard to get where you were– there was a satisfaction in knowing that all of your effort wasn’t going unacknowledged.
“Jean-boy’s right—”
“Bastard!”
“—Captain Levi has been unnecessarily cruel to her, and we’ve all noticed it!” Eren’s fists clenched in anger as he ignored Jean’s yelling.
“But the Captain isn’t the type to hold grudges or act impulsively, so I think there’s something deeper to it,” Armin reasoned, apologetically glancing at you in case his words offended you.
You nodded softly, not wanting to worsen your headache; however, it didn’t really matter when Jean’s painfully loud voice retaliated almost immediately.
“He overworked her to the point of her passing out from exhaustion and severe dehydration!” His eyebrows furrowed in anger, and his sandy brown hair bounced with his every move.
You winced from the pain in your head, and the movement didn’t go unnoticed by Reiner, who glanced at you from where he stood.
“Jean— inside voice, yeah?” Reiner softly spoke, subtly tilting his head down towards you. Jean’s gaze softened and concern replaced the anger on his contorted features, as he apologized to you.
“Yeah, seriously, what are you getting so worked up for?” Connie innocently asked, before a knowing look crossed his features. He turned to his partner-in-crime, and the two donned shit-eating grins as they turned back to Jean.
“Right, that’s why.”
Bertholdt, whose lanky body had been horizontally lying across the bed comfortably, sat up onto his elbows and cluelessly asked, “What’s why?”
Sasha’s smile widened, and she crossed her arms, mimicking Connie’s knowing smirk. “It’s because Jean-boy, here, is sweet on our dear little—”
“Would you shut up!” Jean yelled louder than before, fists shaking in anger. His face was flushed an impossible shade of red, and you would’ve joined in on the laughter, had your head not exploded from the pain.
You were fully aware of the incessant teasing Jean received regarding his relationship with you, and you would honestly be lying if you said you didn’t get a kick out of it as well. Deciding to spare your friend today, you sent a good-natured smile to him, hoping that would be enough to quell his frustration.
Had you not turned to converse with Eren, you wouldn’t have missed Jean’s dazed smile.
While talking to Eren, your mind briefly drifted to Levi and the situation that was weighing heavily on you. You didn’t want to believe that the Captain hated you– you desperately grasped onto your excuse that he was simply a harsh teacher. And yet, you knew there was something more to it.
In a panic-driven moment, you momentarily wondered if he had somehow found out about your feelings for him. You remembered him telling you about his upbringing— you knew better than most that Levi and confessions of love did not go together... at all. Before you could further dig yourself deeper into the pitiful hole you had been in the past month, a painfully familiar voice broke through your intrusive thoughts.
“You know how loud you are? This isn’t a damn daycare.”
“Sir!”
All conversation in the room came to an abrupt halt. You couldn’t help but grow amused at the sight of Eren and Bertholdt scrambling off your bed to stand and salute their superior. Your small smile was wiped off your face when your eyes met stormy grey ones. You quickly looked down, before inhaling quickly and swiftly pulling your bedsheets back. You attempted to muster as much strength as you could, ignoring the multiple eyes on you. You gracefully stood up from the bed, and turned to Levi, managing the salute as well. You slowly looked up at him.
“Sir,” you shakily mumbled, internally cringing once again at the uncharacteristic rasp to your voice.
You received proud looks of admiration from your friends, though Jean’s remained more concerned than proud. Idiot! he thought to himself. We know you’re strong, now’s not the time to prove it!
Levi, meanwhile, had tried his very best to suppress the guilt that had been eating away at him for the past day; however, it had only worsened when he saw you and heard your weak voice. Upon making eye contact with you, he almost wanted to fall to his knees and apologize profusely for everything he had put you through, audience be damned. 
Levi had spent the better half of the day pacing around your room in the infirmary wing of the Scout Regiment’s base, lost deeply in his thoughts, as his concern for you weighed heavily in his heart. After a few more hours of pacing, he had finally come to the conclusion that he was an idiot (a grade A, unique brand of idiot all in a league of his very own), and that he was in love with you.
Where the first realization annoyed him to high heaven, the second one brought him a sense of peace that was only heightened every time he had looked at your unconscious form.
Levi, uncomfortable with the amount of self-actualizing he had done that day, had left the room after softly caressing your cheek, hoping to convey all of his guilt and apologies and love into the simple gesture. Once he was away from the infirmary wing of the base, he inhaled deeply, itching for the comfort of a cup of warm tea. On his way to the mess hall, he had passed by your friends from the 104th, all undoubtedly on their way to see you. Levi’s eyebrow had slightly risen upon noticing the varying looks of defiance and anger on each of their faces. He had remained unfazed, his half-lidded eyes looking away, as if he hadn’t even seen them at all.
Somehow, it was harder to face them now with you standing amongst them. 
His face retained its usual impassive and bored expression, yet it momentarily faltered when he noticed you slightly stumble from where you were standing next to the hospital bed. Levi’s heartbeat quickened, and he made a subtle move to rush over to you to catch you for the second time that day, but Jean was quicker. The taller man had been keeping a watchful eye on you, and had quickly dropped his salute to stand behind you and steady your slightly uncoordinated form. You comfortably relaxed backwards into his arms as you sent a grateful smile up at him, and he softly smiled back in response, leading you back to the bed.
Levi was both relieved and a little fucking pissed off.
“Visiting hours are over— I need to talk to the brat,” he lazily said, authority ringing loudly and clearly in his command.
For the first time in all his years of captaining the scouts, there was a quick hesitation after his command.
Levi raised an unamused eyebrow at each of the cadets, silently challenging them to disobey him. Despite his threatening aura, he wouldn’t blame any of your friends if they were to defy Levi. The Captain deserved it for his treatment of you— he’d take it like a man.
Your eyes widened in surprise when your friends subtly glanced at you, silently asking if it was okay to leave you alone with him. Upon hearing Levi’s request to talk to you, your heart had begun to uncontrollably race and you swore you could feel it in your throat. You were disappointed in yourself for growing excited at finally being able to talk to him. 
Blinking quickly, your cheeks grew hot under everyone’s gazes, so you reassuringly smiled at your eight friends, and you once again felt the genuine love you had for them erupt within your heart. 
Ever the peacemaker of the group, Armin signaled for the rest to follow him out of the room, and they each uncertainly walked behind him. Mikasa squeezed your hand once more before following closely behind Eren, who sent you an encouraging smile. Bertholdt subtly sent a thumbs up to you, while Reiner winked at you as he looked over his broad shoulder. Your smile widened; however, it faltered when your eyes met Jean’s. His irritated expression worried you, yet before you could respond, he turned away and walked past Levi.
Levi had to give it to Jean— not many people had the balls to openly glare at the Captain.
Once everyone was gone, the tension within the room increased tenfold. You looked at Levi, and you bit your lip in contemplation, anticipating what he would say. Many thoughts rang through your head.
Was it another punishment? Was he going to yell at me? Did he find out about my fee–
“How do you feel?”
You almost had to pinch yourself. After one month of barely any interactions with your friend— if you were still even allowed to call him that— you realized how starved you were for pleasant conversation with Levi.
“I’ve been better,” you breathed out, still cautious. “How… how do you feel?”
Even after such an unpleasant experience, your unwavering kindness shone just as brightly. Levi’s heart ached so sweetly, and he internally groaned upon realizing how fucking whipped he was.
He silently stepped forward, pulling a seat to the side of your bed. Once he was seated, Levi looked into your eyes, and you felt your breath hitch at the intensity of the swirl of emotions dancing within his normally cold eyes. He exhaled softly.
You noticed how tired he looked.
“Just peachy.”
There was a pregnant pause, and you came to realize that there was just too much you wanted to say to him, and you didn’t know where to start. Your soft eyes held his sharp gaze.
“You scared the shit out of me, brat.”
Your heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and your eyes widened in response.
“I did?” you internally slapped yourself at your stupid response.
“Yeah. You did.”
“Sorry, sir,” you softly mumbled.
“Levi… just Levi.”
The Levi in front of you was a completely different man from the one who you’ve had the pleasure of interacting with over the past month. You thought back to your friends and their anger at your mistreatment, and you thought of the many unfair punishments, cold shoulder treatments, and overworking during training (despite you being second only to Humanity’s Strongest, himself). Slowly, your incredulity at being treated like a lapdog began to dim and was replaced by your growing indignation. Though you were no stranger to standing up for yourself, you still felt your anxiety skyrocket as you looked back up at your superior.
“Do you hate me, Captain? Did I… did I do something?”
And there it was.
Levi knew the question would come up at some point, and yet he still felt ill-prepared in his response. He knew this was a big step for you— in the whole year that he’s gotten to know you, he learned how much you hated confrontation. You blatantly ignoring his request and choosing to address him by his title caught his attention, and he frowned. When he looked into your slightly watery eyes, a warmth spread throughout his chest, and he had to clear his throat.
“Don’t say shit like that, you haven’t done anything.”
Levi wanted to punch himself— he was never good with words.
You, however, weren’t fazed by the manner in which he spoke. You had fallen for the man, harsh words and all.
“Then why have you—” you paused as you momentarily lost your voice.
Levi thought it was cute (to be fair, he found everything about you endearing), yet he knew it would be inappropriate to openly admire you when you were so clearly upset with him.
“Sorry,” you grew embarrassed and licked your lips, “It’s just… well, why have you been ignoring me? And— and yelling at me? We stopped drinking tea together, and practicing in the forests. You don’t even acknowledge me when I talk to you! I’m sure you have a really good reason, sir, but I just—”
Levi detested the sick feeling of guilt that churned within his heart. In hindsight, he really should’ve thought it through before he began his little plan of distancing himself from you. How else was he supposed to tell you oh, everyone in the fucking Scout Regiment wants you, and so do I, but I haven’t done anything about it because I’m a pussy, so I just decided to take it out on you and wallow in my own self-pity like the sad little man I am, without sounding like he was deranged.
“—I just miss you.”
Levi’s eyes widened a fraction of an inch, and his breath hitched. This time it was the sincerity in your eyes that made him look away quickly.
“I…”
I’ve missed you too, dammit.
At his lack of a response, your eyebrows furrowed, and your irritation grew. Your small hands balled the soft bedsheet, and you swallowed to soften the burn in your throat before speaking.
“Why did you even come here?” you scoffed indignantly, attempting to mask your hurt, “Was it to just to yell at me some more? Oh, I know! Maybe I need to run through training ten more times again, right?”
The guilt churned even more in his chest, and Levi seriously wanted to punch himself. He willed himself to say something— anything— but he felt speechless in front of you.
“Levi,” you hoarsely spoke with desperation, and he looked into your watery eyes. “Say something, please.”
It was as if you had read his mind, and a slight feeling of reassurance quelled the storm in his heart; you really were the only one for him. As he met your eyes— your beautiful, enchanting eyes— he felt his self-hatred skyrocket at the amount of hurt in them. He had grown used to seeing them filled with humor, kindness, and a soft edge that was rare to find nowadays. Yet seeing them filled with such pain and hurt was unsettling, and Levi went mute for the fifth time that day.
You nodded in understanding when he failed to say anything, and your heart clenched. Jean had been right— you were nothing more than a lovesick puppy. You blinked quickly as a poor attempt to conceal your tears, yet nothing ever escaped the Captain’s attention.
His gaze softened, and Levi found out something else about himself— he really didn’t like seeing you cry.
“Shit, please don’t cry,” he tenderly mumbled, as he leaned closer to you and gently cupped your face to wipe away your tears with the pads of his thumb. 
Your breath hitched and your full lips involuntarily parted. You relished in the warmth of his touch, and you wanted nothing more than to lean into his comforting hand. Your name fell from his lips, and you felt yourself come back to reality. Remembering just how you had gotten into this situation, you decided to stand your ground. Despite everything in your body begging to give in and accept this moment with the Captain, you stood unwavering in your decision.
You gently grabbed his large hand with both your hands, and moved it away from your face and into your lap. You held it there loosely and delicately rubbed your fingers over his hand soothingly before eventually stopping, and looking back up at him.
His usual bored expression was long gone, and in its place was a very tender and vulnerable expression. A storm was brewing in his grey eyes, and you distantly remembered stargazing once with him. You had desperately wished you could read his thoughts— somehow, you had found his daunting eyes more fascinating than the starry sky. You felt an ache in your heart at the intimate memories, and you really really wished Levi loved you the way you love him.
“You know what, Levi? It doesn’t even matter if you hate me, because—” you inhaled sharply. 
This has to be done, you reassured yourself, or else you’d be subjecting yourself to an onslaught of hurt and heartbreak. 
“—Because I hate you.”
Your lip quivered and your broken voice faltered. And of course, Levi noticed.
His eyes darted down to your lips at the slight movement. His hands had stilled, and he decided that getting eaten by a damn titan would be much less painful than this.
And then he’s looking at you. You looked back at him, yet he’s looking at you— through you— in that way that makes you want to hide and hold your ground at the same time.
“Right,” Levi drawled, and you knew he didn’t believe you (hell, you were unconvinced yourself). His eyes reverted back to their cold nature, and he ran a hand through his hair, allowing the silky strands to softly land against his forehead.
He stood up, and wordlessly gave you a onceover. Under his scrutiny, you felt yourself grow insecure, but deep down you desperately hoped he’d stay. You bit your bottom lip in apprehension, and Levi’s eyes softened at the sight of your nervous habit.
How is it that he could kill titans all the livelong day yet when it came to this sweet girl, so small and disarming, he couldn’t even utter a single word?
Levi had never felt more pathetic. He peered down at you, momentarily debating whether it would be right for him to attempt one last thing before finally deciding fuck it, and gently cupping your cheek for the third time that day, bending down, and pressing a soft kiss to the top of your head. He gingerly inhaled your enticing scent, appreciating how even after the hell he had put you through, you still smelled so alluring.
You were positive that Levi could hear your heartbeat. You blinked many times in disbelief, as he pulled away and sent one last lingering gaze down at you. 
Levi slightly smirked at the pretty blush that had colored your cheeks, his half-lidded eyes drinking in the mesmerizing sight of you sitting up in your bed and gaping up at him, your cheeks flushed and wet with the remnants of your tears. He turned around and silently left the room. 
He had ignored every part of his body that begged him to stay.

“Shut up, I can barely hear them!”
“Ow— Bertholdt, you’re stepping on my foot!”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Watch it, horse face!”
“Eren.”
“You piece of shit, I’m—”
The piece of bread that had been tightly held in Sasha’s grip suddenly fell to the floor. Everyone went silent.
“Holy shit, I think… I think he just kissed her.”
Jean really hoped Sasha was wrong. 
He decided to ignore the fact that her freakishly good hearing bordered on supernatural, so there was really no way she could’ve been wrong with a mere wooden door standing between her and the conversation.
“I knew there was something going on between them! Reiner— pay up.”
Reiner muttered several curses under his breath as he pulled out a hefty stack of cash from his pocket. Connie’s grin widened.
Armin had glanced up at Jean, slightly alarmed at the dark expression on his face. Before he could comfort his friend, the door suddenly opened. Everyone scrambled to straighten themselves up, attempting to act like they hadn’t been just eavesdropping on the entire conversation between you and the Captain.
A chorus of sir’s rang throughout the large hallway, and Levi grew amused at the sight before him. His lips twitched upwards, and the cadets had to almost physically stop their mouths from dropping open at the sight. Levi’s ghost of a smile disappeared when his eyes met Jean’s seething ones.
The two held each other’s gazes, Levi’s expression being cool, while Jean’s had been irritated. Levi was not a fucking idiot; he knew the kid was in love with you.
Join the fucking club.
Levi, realizing that this was the exact reason he had gotten himself into that mess with you and not really wanting to sour his somewhat good mood, looked away from Jean to nod at the group of your friends.
“As you were.”
He brushed past Jean, his gaze as intimidating as ever, as he silently walked down the hallway. Jean’s fists clenched tightly. Once Levi had turned the corner, the group exploded into chatter, their reactions varying from stunned to adoring.
Jean really really fucking hoped Sasha was wrong.
▲▼▲
Your horse trotted proudly through the vast landscape, the wind blew through your open hair, your friends teased each other amicably, and your excitement grew at finally being cleared to join the scouts on their next expedition. Though you hadn’t been getting much sleep lately, and you’ve been a little too preoccupied to eat much, nothing could bring your mood down at this moment.
You were alongside your friends as you all followed the section commanders as their horses galloped into the edge of the forest. The mission for today was to exterminate any titans who had wandered too close to the walls. A simple mission, and you were more than capable.
You had been in a great mood.
Until your eyes landed on Levi.
He had been further up, leading his own squad. He had turned around to respond to Gunther, and that’s when his eyes had met yours. Your internal conflict grew, and you ultimately ended up averting your eyes and ignoring him, deciding to maintain your cold treatment towards him. 
Him kissing your head had only further confused you, despite the sweet butterflies you felt every time you thought back to it. Levi’s treatment towards you had unexpectedly changed since that day in the infirmary, and it had reverted to the way it was before his sudden aversion to you, though there was something much sweeter in his actions. You swore you were getting whiplash.
Though he had been significantly kinder to you, you had held your ground, unrelenting in your declaration. Part of you was terrified that if you gave in and became comfortable, he’d suddenly return back to the yelling, the punishments, and the overworking. Part of you also didn’t want to face reality— your feelings were unreciprocated, and they would only serve to bring you a world of heartache and sadness.
Your cold shoulder towards him was nothing compared to the way he had treated you. Yours mainly consisted of avoiding him, and when that wasn’t an option and you had to interact with him, you kept it civil and short. Your heart would ache, but you knew it was for the best. It helped that Jean would offer approving smiles and words of encouragement, even going as far as to smirk when you had ignored the Captain.
Levi, meanwhile, had frowned when he noticed that you ignored him. Again.
In all honesty, he did deserve it, but that didn’t mean it still didn’t hurt like a bitch. He grew irked at your display. Levi hoped you would understand that him kissing your head and showing affection towards you was his grand confession of love. You knew he was shit with words, and he hoped that that would be enough.
He was sadly fucking mistaken.
His attention had been on you the whole mission. Even when the scouts had to dismount from the horses to use the ODM gear through the trees, he had somehow managed to keep a watchful eye on you. You were graceful as ever as you flew through the trees, though his observing gaze noticed that your reaction time was noticeably slower than normal. He had also noticed the dark circles under your usually bright eyes, and he grew worried upon noticing your overall state.
Levi, himself, wasn’t faring much better. He was getting virtually no sleep, running completely on caffeine, adrenaline, and pure will, yet he still made sure he was in excellent shape when it came to these missions— humanity was resting on his shoulders, after all.
The firing of a flare gun in the distance indicated that the group would be encountering titans— a lot of titans— from the left. The soldiers prepared, all eyes focused on the left. You had conveniently taken up the right-most end of the formation, and your attention had also been on the left, your blades held tightly in your hands.
It was only by chance that Levi decided to glance down at you as he soared above you in the middle of the formation. Your eyes met once again, and Levi’s heart lurched at the beautiful sight, when movement behind you immediately caught his attention. A large abnormal with the ability to jump from tree to tree had suddenly appeared and made an attempt to grab you. Your attention had been solely on Levi, so you hadn’t noticed, especially over the roar of the wind in your ears.
Levi’s eyes widened, and he yelled out your name. The rich baritone of his deep voice reached your ears, and you turned slightly behind you, yet you reacted too slowly. Your body jerked backwards, flying so far from the group. You flew through the air at such a great speed that it took you by surprise when you slammed against a tree as the wires of your ODM gear grew tangled. The abnormal had missed you— barely. Your head slammed against the tree and you felt the wind knocked out of your body at the impact.
You whimpered at the hell of a hospital stay you’d have to face after this.
The abnormal almost seemed to be grinning wider upon realizing that it had successfully subdued you. You attempted to quickly stand up, though your body yelled in agony at the movement. Willing yourself to fight back, you shakily stood up, tightly gripping your blades that had miraculously not fallen to the ground throughout the struggle. You winced at the searing pain that shot through your head, yet you clenched your teeth in determination. Realizing that your gear was broken and therefore useless, you quickly discarded yourself of it, and felt some of the tension in your body alleviate now that you were significantly lighter.
“The hell is she doing?” Jean yelled incredulously from his spot next to Levi, and the other members of the group looked on in shock as they all attempted to make it to you in time.
“She’s fighting back,” Levi spoke through gritted teeth, his worry for you eating him alive. His eyebrows were furrowed in stress and anxiety, and he was now soaring impossibly fast through the trees in order to reach you.
Stupid brat. Stupid, resilient, little brat.
“Attagirl!” Oluo and Eld cheered, and Petra shoved them, warning them to stop their blatant ogling in the middle of a dangerous mission. They skillfully dodged her attack, grinning at their adept use of the ODM gear.
A noise towards the side caught their attention, and the group realized the titans they had been anticipating were now in sight. Levi coolly assessed the shitty situation, before commanding that most of the soldiers take care of the titans, while Levi, his squad, and some of the 104th’s cadets would assist you. The group split up, and Levi turned his attention back to you, his heart thumping against his chest.
As the titan made a move to grab you, you exhaled quickly to focus before skillfully jumping onto its elongated arm and running quickly towards its nape. You were defying gravity as you gained speed the higher you went. The titan wasn’t stupid, and it began to grab you with its other arm, yet you anticipated its move. You lithely dodged it, executing a quick front flip as you narrowly escaped its grasp once again.
This was it!
You saw your opening. You leaped forward and pushed your feet against its shoulder as hard as you could, soaring high up in the air above the titan. Muscle memory served you well, and you thought back to the training circuit that had mimicked a situation almost exactly like this one. You gracefully began to spin yourself faster and faster, your cape billowing behind you as you finally readied your blades for the final blow. You yelled out, as your head pain worsened. As a result, your maneuver faltered slightly, almost imperceptible to the human eye. The titan noticed.
It lashed a large hand out again, attempting to grab you, but it accidentally slapped your body away. You cried out in pain, and you flew in the direction of your friends, hurtling towards the ground. You were falling so fast, and you felt yourself grow dizzy from being chucked around so much in the last five minutes.
Eren yelled out your name, a whimper stuck in his throat at the sight of your almost lifeless body spiraling downwards. Jean’s eyes widened, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to make it in time.
Levi’s heart stopped upon witnessing the titan slap your body with so much force. You were plummeting towards the ground at an impossible speed, and he didn’t even think twice before withdrawing his ODM gear’s hooks and diving towards you within the blink of an eye. His cape flew behind him, and a determined glint had overtaken his angry features. 
You had been bordering between consciousness and unconsciousness, yet the sight above you had been so clear that it almost felt as if everything was moving in slow motion. Your long hair flew around you, creating a curtain around your face, as you looked up at Levi. He had dived towards you, his jaw so tightly clenched. His muscular long arm began reaching out to you. The ground was quickly approaching, and you felt a sense of serenity at the sight of your Captain, despite your confusion and the severity of this situation.
“Levi,” you mumbled, smiling softly.
His face dropped upon seeing the calm expression on your face, and he willed himself to go faster, a number of expletive curses ringing through his head. 
That damn titan. Did it know how small you were? How precious you were?
He spun himself slightly to gain momentum, and he saw you were just within reach. Levi confidently stretched his strong arm out even more, managing to wrap his hand around your arm. He swiftly pulled you into his chest, one arm wrapping around your waist, while the other hand cradled your head protectively against his broad chest. He swiftly flipped himself around to face his body upwards, further ensuring he’d take the majority of the blow in case you two ended up hitting the ground, and shot both of his ODM gear’s hooks into a nearby tree, propelling both of you away from the ground and towards the high branch. You fleetingly realized how familiar this position felt.
Once Levi safely landed, he kneeled, and supported your body against his thigh as he continued to hold you in his arms. He quickly looked over his shoulder, and could make out the sight of the titan falling to the ground. All the members of his squad seemed alive and well, so he turned his attention back to you. His eyes quickly darted over your face, desperately searching for any obvious injuries.
Your eyes fluttered open at the feeling of Levi running his hands through your hair and over your cheeks. The Levi in front of you was leagues different from the cool and composed one you had come to know. He had a frantic look in his eyes, his jaw clenched tightly, as he desperately peered down at you. 
“Le… Levi?” You mumbled, your voice still a little hoarse from your recent infirmary stay.
“You are so precious to me, you hear me?” He lowly spoke, panic and anger and a whole plethora of emotions coloring his normally deadpan voice.  
Your jaw fell open and you were almost positive you were suffering from a mean concussion, and this was a hallucination. “Wha—”
“You’re a fucking brat— an incredibly frustrating, resilient little brat— but you’re mine.”
You dazedly looked up at him, and you realized how close his face was to yours. His muscular chest was heaving up and down, and a small droplet of sweat dripped down from his hairline. Levi’s handsome features held nothing but adoration for you, and in that moment nothing could bring you down from the high you were experiencing. You felt his warm hands cup your cheek once more, a habit he seemed to be fond of.
“You want a fucking declaration of love? Here it is— if anything happens to you, I swear I’ll kill every titan on this piece of shit planet,” he spoke, surprisingly unbothered with how vulnerable he was being with you. He moved closer to you, his forehead nearly resting on your own. “I don’t give a fuck if you hate me or not. You’re mine, and I’m yours. And that’s all there is to it.”
Your hand creeped up to grasp the wrist of the hand that had been caressing your face, and you tightened your fingers around it. He froze, momentarily wondering if you were rejecting his confession, and he internally groaned at the thought. 
There’d be no coming back from this one.
“You’re mine?” You shakily asked, a gloriously beautiful smile slowly gracing your features.
“That’s what I said,” he mumbled, attempting to conceal how lovestruck he felt at your smile.
“After… after we get home and I get some medical attention, you’re going to have to kiss me, alright? I’m—”
You were cut off by his lips pressing against your own. Your eyes fluttered shut, and you relished in the soft feeling of his lips molding against yours. You felt an indescribable warmth erupt in your chest, and you whimpered against Levi’s lips. His kiss was soft and warm, a huge contrast to the Levi from this past month. He pulled away just as quickly as he had bent down.
“One for the road,” he simply explained, glancing down at you. He internally smirked at the pretty blush coloring your cheeks— he was always fond of the sight.
▲▼▲
“You’re not serious.”
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
You stifled your giggles at Levi’s straight face. Your expression still showed your disbelief at what he had just told you.
“I’m not an idiot, Levi, I know how some people look at me,” you laughed, rolling your eyes playfully.
“Even the Commander?”
“Oh, I’m working my way up through the ranks right now, can’t you tell?” You teased, gesturing down to your intertwined bodies, as you both faced each other in his warm bed.
“You’re funny, brat,” he deadpanned, no heat and all fondness as he affectionately pinched your cheeks.
You snuggled deeper into his chest, savoring the warmth that you were enveloped in. You were wearing his shirt— still warm and smelling strongly of him— and you inhaled softly as your face pressed deeper into his chest. Somehow, the slight aftermath of your headache from the recent expedition began to dull slightly.
“I’m sorry again,” Levi murmured, softly cradling your head against his chest.
“Really? I couldn’t tell the first five hundred times you said so,” you teased, looking up at him. Your breath hitched at the sight of his face angled down towards you, dark wisps of hair falling over his eyes and structured face. Levi was so painfully handsome, you could feel your heart flutter.
His eyes were intense, and his guilt continued to stir within his stomach. Seemingly able to read his mind, you pressed a chaste kiss to his warm chest.
“Idiot,” you mumbled, “I really wouldn’t care if the King himself came up to me and proposed, and you know exactly why.” 
“Humor me.”
“Terrifying guy, goes by the name of Humanity’s Strongest Soldier?”
He chuckled lowly, the deepness of his voice vibrating through his chest, and your insides turned to mush. Feeling relieved at successfully pulling Levi out of his little hole of guilt, you yawned softly. Your bruised ribs still ached at times, yet you ignored it this time to cuddle deeper into Levi, who was also on the verge of sleep.
He was sleepily looking down at you, observing your attempts to get comfortable in his embrace, and he softly smiled to himself. His muscular arms tightened around you, one of his hands coming to rest on the soft curve of your hip. He relished in the fact that sleep would be coming easily to him with you here. Levi had surprised himself with how easily he was able to show his affections toward you, and he chalked it up to that being further proof that you really were the only one for him.
He felt a warmth come from the sweet pang in his chest, and it spread throughout his entire body. Levi had learned to associate that feeling with you.
His eyes closed silently, and you pressed one last kiss to his chest.
“Precious,” he mumbled, “Precious little brat.”

omg okay!! i saw your zombie apocalypse eren x reader post and personally i daydream about zombie apocalypse scenarios way more often than i should so i thought i would share... anyways! imagine a scene where eren and reader have recently started traveling together, eren has always been the lone wolf type while the reader just escaped from a corrupt group (bc u know humans would probably become super fucked up in a zombie apocalypse and forget all their morals) but they found each other and even though their personalities clash and they lowkey hate each other they thought hey maybe we can help each other out during this apocalypse. so! flash forward, eren and the reader have found themselves in an abandoned suburb and they take shelter in one of the houses for the night. this is where they cross the threshold of their relationship. seeing as they both couldn’t sleep they decided to chat and get to know one another, somehow the conversation lands on the topic of battle scars, eren is showing off a scar on his forearm, his cheek, and any other ones that he may have and he tells the story behind each one, he unbuttons his shirt and shows the stab wound on his stomach (reader tries not to stare for too long ;)), eren assumes that the reader doesn’t have too many scars as none are visible when she is fully dressed, he pokes fun at her (or maybe gets angry about it idk the vibes) that she has been pampered in the zombie apocalypse having been part of a group and everything (not knowing they were corrupt and not knowing why she left). reader gets frustrated “you think you’re the only one with scars??” she takes of her shirt and all across her chest and back were scars from mistreatment, (like maybe pain was the punishment if you didn’t do your work for her old group or something) the reader waits for eren to say something, (currently her back is facing him as she showed him the full extent of her wounds) but he doesn’t say anything. she is about to turn around when she feels his fingers lightly tracing one of the scars on her shoulder blade. his touch is gentle and warm and soon his fingers are replaced by his lips bc dammit maybe he’s started to care about the girl he begrudgingly took onto his team. the kisses become more aggressive, the girl finds herself turning around grabbing his face and crashing their lips together because maybe she has become fond of his stubborn personality even if it annoyed her to no end, and because even when he acted like he hated her he always protected her. and then it gets super steamy and i would go into detail but i’m bad at doing that :) anywaysss i just wanted to share bc i love zombie au’s and i really hope you write one bc your writing is amazing !!
OMFG. THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD, IT TOOK ME A FEW MINS TO READ BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF THEM ESCAPING AS WELL AS THE SCARS PART.
i for sure want to do a zombie au, but the series would be very long and i honestly would have to dedicate a lot of time to it 😭😩

hi! can i request for a levi x reader scenario where the reader is a really powerful titan shifter and levi finds out about it. slight angst and fluff would be great. im apologize if this was confusing, this is my first time requesting anything.
Don’t worry! It’s perfectly fine, and this was so fun to write i went a little overboard and this ended much longer than what i intended.
Also, this has spoilers of the last chapters of season 1, specifically, when the female titan appears!  if you haven’t got there yet, feel free to send another ask letting me know and I’ll work on a spoiler free one.
Thank u for requesting! xx

“TRUST”  TITAN SHIFTER!READER X LEVI ACKERMAN
Well... things escalated quickly.
As if being a titan shifter yourself wasn’t enough, now you were in Levi’s squad and needed to protect Eren, another titan shifter like yourself. Being in the trial traumatized you, proving your fears were funded. They wanted to open him up like a fish. You wouldn’t expose your integrity like that.
Honesty was overrated.
How could you explain the fact that you couldn’t remember since when or how you got the power? You knew as much as they did about how the shift worked, being as lost as Eren was with that part of yourself. In fact, before Eren Showed up you’d thought you were one of a kind, an oddity meant to be feared, cursed to hide your real potential.
The fear of what they could do to you was enough to not share your abilities with Erwin, and when the new kid, came around you were too deep into the lie to just be like “Oh hey, by the way I’m also a titan shifter and I stood in the sidelines as hundreds of my comrades died without helping... I’m not selfish at all haha... Please don’t kill me.”
You feared what Levi would do if he found out, he’ll hate you for sure. The trust could never be earned again, he’ll be too hurt. The late night chess and tea encounters you had with him would be lost forever. You’ll be lucky if he didn’t decapitate you himself, titans had taken everything away from him after all.
The expedition was going like normal at first.
You were riding in between Nifa and Eren, wondering who would make it out alive. You trusted your squad, and you knew they were going to make it, but the people your were acquainted from other teams were in danger, and a flash of jealousy surprised you, Eren could shift if he wanted to, but you had to settle for just watching the massacre, trying to fight and save whoever you could with only those weak as fuck swords.
Your eyes went to Levi riding ahead of you, his back straight with a confidence only someone extremely strong and brave had. You admire him, and worked hard to improve inspiration by his example, your wounds heald so the only thing you had to fear was your secret being discovered.
But even so, the stench of fear was in the air, specially coming from the new recruits, the overall mood was thick and heavy, and there was also the fact that no one knew what was the mission in real life, the only thing we could do really was trust our superiors.
An hour into the expedition launched a guy from another regiment came to give the reports. You were too busy looking at the green flares shooting up in the sky as to know what he said, and for Eren’s expression you didn’t want to know either. Petra went away to carry the message under Levi’s commands and as soon as she left black smoke rose to the clouds.
An eccentric.
Dread collied in your stomach as you reached for your gun to shoot a new signal and noticed a forest of giant trees up ahead. Was Erwin really going to make you go through that titan’s den? What was going on?
The sun was blocked by the high treetops, and you and your squad made your way through the somber trail- Your exact thoughts and confusion was clear in your teammates faces, as Eren complained to Levi about the whole situation.
The new kid looked towards you, fear pooling in his green eyes, and you tried to look as calm and composed as you could, but the sweat was pearling your forehead, so it wasn’t convincing. You didn’t like the situation one bit. Turning your head to the front, you called Levi’s attention.
“Captain Levi...” You started, he turned to you and his expression softened a little, but a few tense lines remained. “Wh...” Your question was cut short by the sound of a shot, a black trail ascending behind your back. You were in deep shit.
“Take out your swords. Whatever is coming will appear all of the sudden.” Eren’s fear was almost palpable now, and as you turned to observe the signal once more you saw it.
A female titan coming from the side.
“Captain! We need to switch!” Petra’s plea to leave the horses behind to have a better chance was full of terror, but Levi didn’t react, not a single muscle constricting.
The female titan broke through a bark and a piece scared your horse, almost hitting you.
“(Y/n)!” Levi shouted, turning to you.
Once you calmed your horse down enough to have control over it, you resumed your escape, a few feet behind. Encouraging the frightened animal you tried to smile at Levi, letting him know you were okay, but his eyes were back to the front, a scowl in his features.
Looking behind you, you could see the short distance you had between the female titan and yourself. If you kept that pace she was going to catch you. And she wasn’t just an eccentric. She was just like Eren and yourself. You could see it in her focused eyes as she grabbed cables, turning and squishing your partners' bodies as if they were made of nothing but clay. An urge to transform and rip the bitch’s head off was so strong it was almost hurting you, but you had to believe in the capability’s of your commander. He must have a plan, and you and your freak power wasn’t taking into consideration. It was better to stay out of it.
But she kicked your fucking horse.
Your body flew across the air, and you could hear Petra and Oolo screaming your name, but you collided against a tree and the sound of something breaking muffled their voices, the crack reverberating into your very soul. As you were Falling to the hard floor, the only thing that was on your mind was your squad, she was about to get them and for once you were sure it was worth the sacrifice if it meant they would survive.
Rolling to your side you saw Levi’s shot a flare and the sound of an explosion made your ears ring.
That was the plan all along? To catch the fucking titan!? And to think you almost blow your cover for nothing. Fucking Erwin and his secrecy.
You tried to get up, but pain shot through your arm. For sure it was broken, and to make it worse the bone was sticking out. It would be fine in a few moments, not being that serious of a wound, but you were dangerously close to the rest of the surveys. If they saw you like that it might raise suspicions.
Sucking in a breath, you grabbed your wrist and pulled to adjust the bone back in place. The crunch and the stabbing pain making you groan The steam started to raise from the wound and a sigh came out of your mouth, the skin in your arm starting to regenerate .
“(Y/n)...?” Levi’s voice sent a shiver down your spine, and the fear nestled in your throat, constricting it. You hide your arm behind your back in a desperate and pathetic attempt to hide the truth.
You turned to him and wished you never saw him in that state. His eyes open and lost, confusion misting over his face. You looked at him fora couple of seconds, and you knew he had seen, the deep frown and his slack mouth were a clear indicative. To say he was shocked was an understatement.
“What the fuck!?” He said, drawing his blades out, the pain of betrayal flashing across his eyes. Shame rushed trough you, and your heart broke at the thought of him being disappointed. That was the last thing you wanted, but still managed to do it in your own incompetence. “You’re one of them?”
Levi took a step forward raising his sword, but you turned around and took off, incapable of stand for another moment the broken look he was giving you, his rushed footsteps followed after you. Tears slipped out of your eyes and without looking back you shot your Odm gear at the farther tree you could and allowed the pressure of the gas take you away from him and from the people you called home. Too afraid to explain yourself to them..
Levi didn’t follow after you.
You had screwed up, and badly. If only you had been honest from the beginning maybe this would’ve turned out better than it did.
Why were you even scared? Levi was trustworthy and a logical person, the fear wasn’t going to phase him enough to kill you without hearing an explanation.
Sitting on top of a branch high enough for no one to see you, you left the faucet open, and the tears fell free, sobs rocking your body. You had lost everything in only a second of careless behaviour, and now you couldn’t go back home. There was nothing left for you.
Time was lost to you, but it couldn’t be more than fifteen minutes, when your weeping session was interrupted by a terrified scream.
“Petra!” Oolo’s voice got to your ears, 
Gunther and Eld could no longer tease you about your crush on some mystery man
Everything was lost in such a short amount of time.
The Tree you were sitting on trembled, and absentmindedly you looked down to its base, the smiles of your squad still on your mind.
Eren’s half head had rolled to the base.
The sight detonated something within you, almost as if your soul had broken in half, and now someone was triturating it into a million more.
A scream that would put any Banshee to shame erupted from somewhere deep in your core. Your hands grasping your hair and pulling, trying to relief in someway the anguish you were feeling.
You were going to kill her, it was all her fault. You’ve lost everything because of her.
The sharp pain on your scalp was followed by a burning hot sensation washing over you. Only half conscious of what was happening, still too shocked to realize just how things got out of hand. You got up from the floor.
When did you fall? You couldn’t remember.
Steam rose from the severed head. A lingering touch of conciousness was still present, and you felt the failure, your teammates efforts had been in vain, and you couldn’t help them in time.
Your broken cry scared the birds away, and with a blood thirst you’ve never felt before you took off, in search of the female titan.
Zooming through trees, you ran in the direction the head came from. And soon you saw her trying to run away. Eren was nowhere to be found, and that only fuel you.
You didn’t stop once you reached her, instead deciding it was best to send both of your bodies to the floor in a mess of wrestling limbs. Managing to get her under you, your fist collided against her body. 
You were trying to feel anything, even if only a tingle of pain, to dissipate your frustration and grief, but the stupid titan’s body was like a protective shield.
You roared and in a desperate attempt you head-butted her, skulls cracking on impact.
The blonde titan looked at you with open and scared blue eyes, now sporting an evident bent in her forehead. If she was trying to get some kind of mercy, it was not going to happen, not after she obliterated your friends like they were just bugs, not even worthy of a second glance.
Twisting and turning behind your weight, she was desperately trying to get up, and twisting her hips she managed to throw your body away. But it was not the end. You were so lost to the pain than once you regained your balance you grabbed her once more. 
Standing behind her, your fingers grasped her jaw, and you pulled up, trying to return the favor of what she did to Eren. Muscles ripped because of the brute force, as she desperately tried to claw at your arms. As you had her mouth open, you were going to keep going until you rip her to shreds, put the sight of two horrified people stopped your movements. 
Your body locked up when you and Levi made eye contact, Mikasa by his side staring horrified at you. You were barely aware of the titan, still thrashing against your arms, but there was no use, you were too strong and you had the upper hand. 
In a flash Levi strapped one of his hooks into the tree next to your head and dived into the female titan’s mouth, retrieving Eren’s body covered in filthy saliva. He then went back to where Mikasa was, but his eyes never left your body. 
Your conciousness came back when his steel orbs caught your attention, and shame rushed through your body. There was no way you’ll confront Levi after he saw you as a titan. Mikasa grabbed Eren’s body in her arms, but you didn’t wait around to see how things would turn out. 
Turning around you sprinted to the exit of the woods, once you were out, there was no way for him to catch in the open field without his ODM.
“Wait!” Levi’s screamed, but that didn’t stop you at all.
You had almost made it, but suddenly the world titled and your titan form fell face first into the ground. In that moment whatever remainded of conciousness you had abbandoned you,  the las thing in your mind was Levi’s dissapointed look before everything dissapeard.
The light was annoyingly disrupting your slumber.
A groan left your lips, eyes still closed. Who opened your curtains? You always kept them close to prevent a thing like this from happening. As you tried to sit up on the bed, you couldn’t feel your forearms at all. That was weird.
“I see you woke up” Someone’s voice alerted you, and the sleepiness flew out the window.
Opening your eyes, you noticed Levi leaning against the wall in front of you. His face like stone, not a single emotion coming out of him. His storm grey eyes locked on yours, staring with an intensity that rose the hair in your neck.
Trying once more to get up you found yourself incapable. You looked at him in disbelief of his audacity.
“You fucking chopped my arms out!? What the actual fuck Levi!?” Indignation sparked in your chest, how dare he? You were planning on disappearing forever, finally letting the Survey Corps in peace.
“Was it all a lie?” The hurt in his voice stopped you mid-sentence, his words showed what his face didn’t, and it broke your soul a little bit more. 
You didn’t respond, your eyes downcast. He took a step towards you, leaving his spot at the wall. You could almost feel the warmth radiating from his body, and you tensed up at his proximity.
“I asked you a question... Was it all a lie cadet?”  He used his authority, the threat implied in his sentence. "(Y/N)… why?” 
“It scared me… " You whispered, looking up at his impassive face. “I don’t know how I got it, and I thought… I don’t know.” You tried to swallow the knot in your throat, but it was no use. The tears would fall soon if this conversation was to continue.
“So you don’t trust me?” He claimed, an eyebrow rising in questioning.
“Don’t be dumb.” You protested, there was no use in being formal and respectful with him at the moment. “I’ve followed your ass to death a thousand times. You know more about me than myself. I told you I was scared, you’re not in charge, if someone found out before Eren showed up I was going to be executed. Just look at what happened in the court room. ”
Exasperated, Levi uncrossed his arms, pinching the bridge of his nose, almost as if he was imploring for patience. His voice was clipped and harsh when he spoke again.
“You surely don’t trust me if you thought I would allow that dumbass. I would’ve ended whoever attempted to harm you.” 
 A breath hitching in your throat, surprise sucker punching you in the gut. But ten times more shocking than his confession was the fact of him circling you with his arms.
His hands found the back of your head, and he guided your head against his chest. The position was surely not comfortable for him, standing  next to the bed and leaning over, but still, he didn’t let go. His hand caressed your hair, and the tenderness of his touch made you cry again.  Levi’s grip on you tightened, and he stayed quiet, as you let all the stress and fear leave your body in the form of tears.
You wanted to hug him back so badly, but because of your lack of arms you couldn’t do it. Once the sobs stopped, he let go of your body. His eyes scanning your red eyes and wet cheeks. You wanted to wipe your tears, so he wouldn’t see them, but it was impossible at the moment, your hands still not regenerated.
“I’m sorry about your arms. But I couldn’t let you go away like that.” He sounded ashamed, which was a kind of out of character of him. Levi’s icy fingers caressed your cheeks, as he caught a stray droplet that was sliding down your face." Erwin wants to see you in his office, but I’ll take you there when your arms grow back… Would that make you feel safer?.”  He asked, concerned.
“Yeah… actually that would help.” Going face to face with the commander who you’ve been lying to for years, without a way of defending yourself was scary. 
“All right.” He conceded.
As if it was the most common thing in the world Levi moved the covers away and sat by my side. A blush crept up your neck at the close proximity.
“What are you doing!?”  You asked, flustered. Since when was the stoic captain so comfortable being in someone else’s personal space?
“Shut up. After everything that happened, the least you could do is let me rest. It’s been over 48 hours since I had a nap.” He laid down and pulled the covers up to our shoulders.  “I’ll be more at ease if I monitor you, just in case someone tries something funny… Unless you’re opposed to the idea?” His eyes bore into your own, making the temperature of the room rise a few degrees. What were you supposed to reply? Shaking your head no you settled next to him, looking at the roof as you tried to ignore Levi’s proximity, pleading your heart to slow down, afraid he might  hear it. 
“Good.” He answered, closing his eyes  “Oh, and (Y/n)… I’ll always have your back,  you can trust me so don’t lie to me again. Got it?” 
He turned around after that, his back now to you. 
Your heart sped up even more, and the feelings for Levi you tried to hide for such a long time resurfaced. And, no matter what his cold demanor was, at moments like this you could tell he cared for you too. 
You knew you’ll be all right if he was on your side.

i read your post about yelena and i agree with EVERYTHING. saying she’s misguided would be misundertanding her, she knows very well what she is doing, why she is here and how she got into that situation. the part about onyankopon is very true too, and i’m sure even zeke doesn’t even trust her 100%, he’s just counting on the fact that she’s obsessed with him (if we ever get a mini story about her like a new lost girls novel i’d love to know how that obsession started!). that moment when she killed a marleyan soldier (i think?) just because he talked shit about sasha was very hot but also very scary and it says a lot about her i think but it makes her very interesting.
i also think that some people misunderstand her on purpose so they don’t have to feel bad about liking her the same way everyone that loves eren forget everything that happened after s3 (and the non animated chapters) and only love fanon or modern au! eren (which are basically different characters from the og eren lmao). i don’t blame them though, i love yelena now and i love zeke too but i don’t forget what the characters have done in canon.
lara tybur makes me remember why i’m a lesbian, she’s so mysterious and very hot and her titan is probably one of my favourites, i just wish she didn’t die so fast!! but as you said it allows us to interpret her as we want! i read your sugar mommy headcanons about her and you made…...several good points. i haven’t thought about the dildo part before but now… i have many unholy thoughts about her ksjdahkd.
i’ve never seen that you’ve written for reiner before and as he’s my favourite it made me very happy and “enough to go around”... WOW!! very very hot!! i love porco and reiner as a duo, they’re always bickering but they can’t deny that they have chemistry and i think you did a very good job at portraying their relationship! and having them both at the same time... yeah <3
i also read “sweet like you” and aaah it was very hot and funny too and so sweet!! you are very good at understanding characters (especially in canon) because reiner was PERFECT and exactly as i see him!!
this ask is getting long so i'll stop but i can't wait to read the rest and i hope you had/are having a good day!!
-j
thank you j!! my days have been alright lately but i've been working a lot too. my bank account looks so beautiful that i could cry but I'm tired asf and I haven't gotten a day off for a while because of other people taking time off 😩 but its okay because I have the whole weekend off and day shifts all next week 💪😤
your clarity on Yelena is so poggers. being attracted to villains doesn't mean you have to warp their narrative to justify it. it's okay to have a point where you're like "love u honey but this is mad unhealthy/evil/straight up demented and I can only support you so far..." the moment being shooting the guy who insulted Sasha being one of them. like I'm pissed too but YOOO WHAT?! this is not the bad bitch moment yall seem to think! i also very much agree with you about how people choose to misinterpret Yelena and Eren. seasons 1-3 Eren and fanon Eren are totally different from what he becomes and it kind ruins his character for me in the end 💔 Yelena being so minor and mysterious makes her a little more likeable in my opinion. I hope we do get an OVA or something with her backstory, it's what we all deserve with the CRUMBS we were given as far as her character goes. personally I go back and forth with Zeke. I feel bad for him when he was young but God I hate him so much for literally everything he does in canon. HE KILLED ERWIN. also eugenics.
about Lara Tybur... you are so seen here. I will never stop being sad that she has one fight scene and appears in like what, all of 10 shots? my only relief is that it's the arguably most badass fight scene in the show as far as titan powers go (excluding the finale I suppose). WISMSNNW I want to write smut for her so bad, it would be WILD but also like the demand is so low that I've never had the motivation for a full fic
thank you much for your kind words about the Porco and Reiner fics!!! in general i'm really a lesbian and sex with men disgusts me but sometimes I have exceptions for anime boys if they are Being My Bitch. and I really really love Porco and Reiner to boot 🤧😍
"you are very good at understanding characters" is literally the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me 😭🥰 my biggest goal while writing is for people to clutch their chests in pain because I hit something so on the nose

hello! i saw that ur requests are open and for levi!! soo i was wondering if i could get one? maybe an argument with him that leads to silent treatment? vv angsty please! thank u in advance 😊❤️ love ur acc btw so i followed hehe
So, I actually had this all typed up on my phone, went to save it as a draft, and it completely got erased. The levels of anger I felt......... so it’s taken me a while to write this one again. Sorry! Alrighty, here goes.
Deafening Silence
Levi x Reader
“You’re staying behind on this mission, Erwin’s orders. That’s final.” Levi informed as he pulled off his boots, preparing for bed. 
“What? Why?! You know how much this means to me, aren’t you going to talk to him about it or something?” You panicked with wide eyes and furrowed brows. Levi sighed.
“I agree with his decision.” He admitted, taking a deep breath as his eyes slid from his discarded cravat to your exasperated expression.
“Why...” You muttered. 
“You overestimate your abilities and get reckless. These aren’t titans we’re fighting this time, brat.”
“Get reckless?! How?! And you know I’d do anything to protect you and the Survey Corps, it doesn’t matter who we’re fighting!” You yelled, your face contorted with frustration. “You won’t even give me a chance to prove myself!”
“Prove what, y/n? How quickly you can get yourself killed?!” He raised his voice as close as you’ve ever heard it to a yell. He glared at you for a brief moment before pulling his shirt over his head and draping it over the back of a chair.
“I’m not going to get myself killed!” You argued, feeling hot tears ebb at the corners of your eyes, begging for release. “You won’t even let me explain-”
“Y/n.” Levi interrupted. “You’re staying.” He declared sternly, his eyes narrowing as he locked his gaze with yours. With his tone of voice, and how angry he seemed to be, you knew his mind was made up, along with the Commander’s. You reflexively clenching your fists, brows furrowing as deeply as you could manage as you reached for your hand.
“If you really think so little of me and my abilities despite how hard I’ve tried...” Your voice shook as you spoke. “Sleep alone.” You stated, removing a silver ring from your finger and placing it on the desk beside you before storming towards the door. Levi’s gaze followed you as you disappeared, the door slamming and echoing in the room as though it was announcing your silence. He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands running through his hair as he stared at the circular piece of metal on the desk- a ring he had given you. He had not predicted that. He knew you would be angry, but he was not the gambler Erwin was. He never would have guessed the levels of anguish you portrayed, the fury you felt to the point you removed your engagement ring. Levi knew better than anyone that you had a empathetic soul and genuine kindness, and he wanted to do everything he could to protect that about you. He was accustomed to the looks of despair that plastered the faces of the people he had run his blade through, and knew that that very look would haunt you for the rest of your days. He had no doubt you would do everything in your power to protect him- he admired that about you, but he knew that your actions would carry guilt you did not have hard enough of a heart to handle. Then again, that was another thing he loved so much about you- your tenderness. As passionate as you were about the things you loved and cared for, you always had a sense of humanity, no matter how enraged you felt. He did not want you to be haunted with the guilt of killing someone, and he feared that because of your morality, you would hesitate at the most dangerous moment- a point where a person is desperately clinging onto life. He did not want to risk losing you because your humanity forced you to freeze and hesitate long enough for you to be vulnerable, but here he was alone in your shared bedroom, faced with the horror of losing you in a different way. This was an internal battle he was ill-prepared for; losing you to the afterlife, or losing his future wife. Either way, he would lose you, but at least in one instance, you would still be alive. His clenched hands and white knuckles tangled furiously into his raven locks, his stare burning into the desk where the ring was placed from beneath his bangs.
You stormed down the corridor that contained the doorways to the captains’ rooms, hot tears streaming down your cheeks. You could not believe what you had just heard from your fiance, and it felt like a punch to the gut. You thought your work ethic, your determination, dedication, and skill, is what caught Levi’s eye in the first place. To know now that he doubted your abilities had you wonder what he thought about you at all. Did he think you were unable to protect him, that you were a burden? Finding out the Commander thought so little of your abilities was tough enough, but to know Levi felt the same was like a blindsiding betrayal. You had done your absolute best to be the best you could be, and if that wasn’t enough for him, you’d never be enough. It was this harrowing realization that forced you to spend hours outside, crying your frustrations out to the point of exhaustion until you finally decided to drag yourself to the barracks. The barracks, with the other cadets, where you felt you belonged rather than snuggled up against the body of humanity’s strongest. After all this time, you still were not good enough for him. At the Survey Corps most dire moment, you would be left behind.
“Y/n? Why are you here?” Sasha inquired, bending over to the level of your bunk on the floor. You opened one swollen eye, peering back at her.
“I needed some space. Don’t worry about it.” You responded to the auburn-haired ‘potato girl’ as you sat up.
“Well, breakfast is ready. Are you coming?” She wondered, in which you replied by dragging yourself out of bed and throwing on a fresh uniform before following her to the mess hall. The others seemed to have been up for some time, and sat energetically engaged in conversation as they ate off their trays. Your eyes stung, you had a terrible headache, and frankly, you weren’t quite hungry, but you went through the motions of picking up your food and sitting with the others anyways. You poked at your pancakes absentmindedly until suddenly your attention was summoned to the side of the room, as if your soul had sensed the man you loved. The pain in your chest fired up all over again the second you laid eyes on the well-built man, his typically tired eyes a thousand times darker than they normally seemed to be. His gaze was trained on you, his steel eyes widening ever so slightly as they met with yours. As badly as you wanted to greet him and give him a good morning kiss, you were immediately reminded, ‘you aren’t good enough for him, he doubts you’ from the argument the night before. You clenched your eyes, tearing your gaze away from him and staring at your food. After breakfast, he approached you as you thought he would. It was somewhat comforting to you, but you refused to allow yourself to think he cared as much as you used to think he did.
“The bed was cold without you.” He commented quietly, staring off at the other cadets but keeping you in his peripheral. You sighed, feeling tears form once more. “I hate upsetting you.” He attempted to reach for you, but you swatted him away. He felt his stomach twist. He stared at you for a moment, desperately searching for any body language that signified you were open to talking to him. “Are you... leaving me?” He questioned, his voice sounding more vulnerable and weak than you had ever heard him. Your heart thudded against your chest, your glassy eyes darting up to meet his. The pain in his voice matched the pain in his eyes. You reached for your hand instinctively, feeling that the ring you cherished was not there, only then remembering you had removed it. The tearful look in your e/c eyes snapped his heart in two, but he had fully convinced himself he would rather you leave him and be alive, than for him to give in, let you come, and die. The two of you shared an anguished look for a brief moment before you turned away, forcing yourself to walk away from him. That action provided Levi his answer, and suddenly, he felt empty.
The following day, the captains around him began to pick up on Levi’s rapidly deteriorating mood. 
“You look like you haven’t slept in days!” Hanji commented aloofly as they serviced their ODM gear. 
“Tch. Shut up, four-eyes.” 
“Seriously, have you eaten? You look sick.” The titan-enthusiast continued. Moblit nodded in agreement.
“Squad Leader is right. I hope you’re looking after yourself.”
“I’m a grown man, get off my ass.” Levi snapped, curling his lip as he spoke. Hanji raised her hands with open palms, snickering as she left the captain alone. The next day, it was predicted that Erwin would be arrested and the mission would begin. Until then, they were packing to begin their descent to a woodland house to carry out experiments with Eren. You, and you alone, would be the only one to seek refuge at the old Survey Corps headquarters. It enraged you, more so at yourself for thinking you were good enough to be trusted by Levi. You began to consider going anyways, but knew there would be no point if nobody cooperated with you.
You assumed Levi was busy as he typically was, and attempted to take advantage of that time to return to your once shared bedroom to retrieve a couple of your things, including the ring. Each time you reached for your hand when thinking of him, you felt your heart shatter all over again as you remembered the broken look he had in his eyes. When you reached the room, you found that the ring was missing off of the desk. You feared, had he sold it already? You leaned against the door, your back sliding down it as you sat on the floor, bawling into you arms as you pulled your knees against your chest.
Levi had spent the past two days grueling over his decision and the anguish you were experiencing. He never wanted to be the reason you were this upset- he only wanted what was best for you. He could not bear watching your life slip through his fingers. He wondered where you went the night you walked out on him- and although he knew you would never go to another man, for otherwise he never would have proposed, he couldnt help but feel fleeting anxiety at the thought of it. He was drowning in guilt and had no idea what the answer was to this situation, but he knew that he could not begin the mission like this, with a mind as distracted as his. At the very least, he’d need a clear answer. He felt for the ring in his pocket- the cold metal tapped the warm metal on his own finger. Were you really leaving him? Would this ring mean nothing anymore? The anxiety he felt was plaguing him. He quickly wrapped up his maintenance and returned to his quarters, where he would write out a letter explaining his concerns and intentions, that he hoped would heal your pain while he was gone if you refused to talk to him before then.
As he went to enter the room, he found the door heavier than usual. On the second attempt at opening it, he found it returned to it’s normal weight, only to see you sitting on the floor with red eyes a few feet away. The sight of you crying so much compelled his body to move reflexively. He pulled you up from the floor and into his arms, his heart thundering against his ribcage as he held the warmth of your trembling body against him. He craned his head into your neck, inhaling your sweet scent and brushing aside your hair. He felt you murmur against him, in which he allowed a bit of distance between your two bodies so that you could repeat yourself.
“Did you s-sell it?” You stuttered between sobs. He furrowed his brows, holding your face between his hands. You read the confusion on his face, pointing to the desk where the ring once was. “Did yo-you sell it?” His eyes followed your finger, and once he realized, he immediately corrected his posture and reached into the pocket of his dark-green coat. He opened his palm, holding it out to you. You felt a wave of relief wash over you as he held out your ring, still wearing his own. You curled his hand up between your own, sobbing against his chest. He felt physically pained with how hurt you were. He never intended to make you this upset.
“I can’t lose you, y/n.” Levi breathed, kissing the top of your head. “I can’t risk losing you to some piece of shit. I know you’re good, but you’re too good.” He admitted.
“Good?” You replied curiously, still crying.
“Good-natured, good-hearted. You are good with ODM gear, you’re skilled with titans. It’s this heart of yours...It’s too good to be killing people.” He placed a hand over where your heart would be, wrapping his other arm around your waist. “Pieces of shit like me would take advantage of a kind heart like that. One moment’s hesitation ends up being your last.” 
“That’s why you don’t want me to come?” You questioned with doe-eyes. 
“Yes.” Levi answered earnestly, wiping away your tears with his thumb.
“What about Commander Erwin?”
“I asked him to make you stay. You wouldn’t listen if it were just me.” He confessed. You blinked away your tears, sighing shakily.
“...I thought I wasn’t good enough... for you. I thought you all were doubting me. I.. I’ve tried so hard to prove myself, and... and...” You stammered, beginning to sob once more. Levi shook his head, dropping to one knee and pulling your hand into both of his. 
“You’ve proven yourself to me in more ways than I can count. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t even consider marrying you.” Levi glanced up at you, his eyes sincere but fatigued. “I don’t just consider marrying you. I dream of it. I desire it- desire you.” He slipped the ring back onto your finger in a fluid motion that made your heart soar. “Marry me, Y/n. Never leave me.”

After All | M19

[Reiner Braun/Reader]
Happiness seems impossible for Reiner, but he may get there after all.
Read on AO3
[As a note, the format of this story is as follows: chapters actually titled “Chapter _” are current to the Marley Arc, chapters titled “M_” are Reiner’s memories in succession, and chapters titled “RM_” are the Reader’s memories in succession]
Previous
Sunlight was filtering through the leaves, and he knew. He knew (f/n) would love these trees. She’d scale them up and down and wonder what their story was. She’d write that story; she’d tell it to him. She’d always been curious like that. He could just imagine her smiling at the adventure ahead of them; he could just see the golden sun in her hair, the life in her eyes.
“Hey, Reiner, got any water?”
His imagination halted at Ymir’s question. “Sorry, there’s not a hell of a lot I can do, even if it is a matter of life and death.” Now that she mentioned it, he was parched. He wondered when they’d get back to the Walls for some much needed rest.
“You’re right about that. This whole thing is bullshit.”
“Speaking of which, we’ve been working our asses off. No food, no sleep, no nothing. Ever since those Titans showed up. That was yesterday, right?” He sighed. “Man, we’re lucky the Wall hasn’t been destroyed. Still,” he held his hand to his head, “you’d think that meant they’d give us a break. And don’t even get me started on promotion…”
“Reiner.” He looked to Bertholdt; his eyes were wide.
“What? Aw, come on, I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Do you?” He chuckled. “No, I think we’ve done enough work to deserve consideration. It’s not easy to act in a situation as messed up as this one. As a soldier, I don’t see what’s wrong with being commended and rewarded for that… It’s just nice to be acknowledged.”
“Mister Reiner, what in the hell are you going on about?” Ymir had an incredulous smile on her face. What was that for?
“What do you mean? I’m not saying that I should be immediately promoted to Captain, you know.”
“Uh… That’s not what I mean.”
“Oh, by the way, where did you guys get that cannon from? I owe you one for saving my bacon.” He sighed. “And (f/n) injured her hand saving me too. Needed stitches. I hope she’s alright. She—”
“Hey!” He jumped as Eren stood with a shout, and that’s when he noticed the steam billowing from Eren’s arms. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Is this some kind of joke?”
“What are you mad about, Eren? Was it something I said?” He held up his hands in surrender. He didn’t understand.
“If you want me to kill you, just keep talking!”
“Wait, Eren,” Ymir held out her arm. Why was she missing limbs? “Whatever he’s saying, it’s not normal. Isn’t that right, Bertholdt? If there’s something you know, then quit being quiet and do something about it.” Reiner didn’t understand what she could be implying. He looked to his friend for some sort of answer.
“Reiner…” Bertholdt couldn’t meet his eyes. “Snap out of it. You’re not a soldier. We’re Warriors.”
Warriors.
1,820 years ago, our ancestor Ymir Fritz made a deal with the Devil.
She gained power.
The power of the Titans.
Eldia’s ethnic cleansing lasted for about 1,700 years.
The Great Nation of Marley incited a civil war and brought seven of the nine Titans to its side.
The Great Nation of Marley won.
The Great Nation of Marley is merciful to the Eldians.
I will become a Warrior and live with my mother and father as an Honorary Marleyan.
I will become a Warrior and eradicate the Devils within the Walls.
I will become a Warrior.
I will become a Hero.
Eyes shut, he realized. Everything had come together. When had it come apart?
“Marcel! No!”
“Take the blame and die!”
“Reiner’s dead. If you need Marcel, I’ll be Marcel.”
“This is the only way we can go home.”
His mother was waiting; he wouldn’t let her wait long.
Complications like her ruined everything.
He’d take her down and show her how cruel the world really was to devils like her.
He couldn’t trample a smile like that, even on a devil’s face.
No one would question the aim of a person who selflessly helped others.
Keep telling yourself that.
She was a good person.
Person?
“You deserve it, Reiner.”
Friend?
He’d become a good liar.
“Well, we’ll go see it then.”
Another lie.
“All thanks to you.”
“Who am I really?”
All you cause is pain.
He couldn’t change her future, as much as he wanted to.
“It’s your choice, Rein’.”
“I just want you to be happy.”
Just do what needs to be done, and keep moving forward.
“Wait, why are you in such a rush?! We haven’t even talked this over!”
“Hey, why is Marco being eaten?”
“It’s not your fault, Reiner. Please, please, don’t blame yourself for things out of your control.”
“Please, Reiner.”
He wanted to forget.
He wanted more.
He understood.
“Look at how beautiful it is, Rein’.”
“They remind me of you… respect, chivalry, clarity of thought…”
He couldn’t afford her.
If only he had the power to douse the flames.
If only…
“I fight for you.”  
“I fight for you too.”
“Reiner… I thought I lost you.”
“I thought I lost you, too.”
“Reiner!”
“No!”
No!
No!
Warriors.
We’re Warriors.
“Right… I see…That’s how things are…” He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t think. All he could do was hold his head in his hands and cry.
It felt as if he’d seen someone else’s memories. He’d always expected to be in this position, but not then, not his own memories. How had he forgotten? Why did he feel so out of control? Had he ever been in control?
“I think I’m starting to see what’s going on here. I thought something was strange. I mean, why would the man who destroyed the Wall risk his life to save Connie? You were taking contradictory actions, but without being aware of it. I don’t know why that happened, but… You were originally a Warrior whose goal was to destroy the Wall, but you pretended to be a soldier for so long, you could no longer tell which was the real you…” Ymir’s words vexed him, or did they pin him? “No, maybe you couldn’t bear the weight of your sins, so, in order to keep your mind in balance, you unconsciously escaped into a fantasy, convincing yourself you were just a soldier who protected the Wall… That caused your mind to split and altered your memories. Judging by Bertholdt’s dumbfounded expression, this isn’t the first time your stories stopped fitting together…” She laughed in the face of his plight. “And not to mention the ultimate irony, you convinced yourself you were worthy of love. Ha! I wonder what (f/n) is thinking right now. She must be—”
“Shut up!” He couldn’t take it, couldn’t face it. “Don’t say her name.” His blood was boiling with regret and determination, duty and the woes of his life.
“My bad, but isn’t it you who shouldn’t be allowed to say her name? Think about it.” She was right, absolutely right. At the thought, he buried his face further into his cold hands. He didn’t want to be seen.
He didn’t want to be there.
“You have to be kidding me. How can you act like a victim?” I don’t know. “What are you even thinking?” I don’t know, Eren.  “Why did you even listen to what we had to say that day? Tell me, Bertholdt. Don’t you remember what I said? I was right in front of you two. I told you about the time my mother was eaten by a Titan, didn’t I? About how she couldn’t escape because a piece of the gate you kicked down landed right on my house. You know about that, right?” Yes. “I told you, didn’t I?” Yes. “What did you think? What… were you thinking that day?”
“Back then… I felt sorry for you.” How could Bertholdt answer? Reiner’s entire being was withering away.
“Oh… I see… You two… You’re not soldiers… You’re not Warriors… You’re just murderers. You massacred people who’d done nothing wrong! You’re mass murderers!”
“I know that!” Reiner couldn’t take it. His sins were agonizing upon his back, in his chest, around his neck. “I don’t need you to tell me!”
“Then stop acting like responsible citizens worried about the state of the world! You two aren’t even human anymore! You’re the ones who turned this world into a living hell! Don’t you see that, you murderers?!”
Yes, he could see. He could see very clearly now.
A l l  y o u  c a u s e  i s  p a i n.
“So what do you want these murderers to do?! Do you want us to repent?! Do you want us to apologize?! Are you really going to preach to a couple of cold blooded murderers about how killing is wrong?! Will that satisfy you?! The Reiner and Bertholdt you know are gone! And if all you want to do is cry about it, then go ahead! Keep crying!”
He wanted to cry. He wanted to go home.
“You’re right.” Eren’s voice was cold. “Who am I? What do I know? Still, all I can do now… is work. Work hard… to make sure that you two die the most excruciating death possible.”
How could Reiner feel fear when he felt so numb?
“You can’t be for real. Eren, I’m begging you, I can’t put my faith in you if you keep talking like some stupid kid.”
“Like what…?”
“I’m saying there’s no way I’m going along with someone worried about petty little things like that.” She paused. “Hey, Reiner. What was that beast?”
His eyes widened. He didn’t want to talk about that.
He didn’t want to talk about anything.
“Beast? What’re you talking about?”
“Huh, you don’t know? Funny, considering that your eyes were beaming like you were kids when you saw it earlier.”
Eren was confused. “What ‘beast’?”
Ymir shook her head. “Just listen. That Beast Titan is the cause of this recent mess. It was what made Titans appear inside the Walls. Maybe it was testing our strength?” How did she know? “You two are trying to get to it, because, if you do, you’ll be able to go back to your home town, right?”
Before he could even piece together a response, Eren shouted again. “Tell me everything you know!”
“Be patient. I’m caught up in circumstances of my own. But listen, Eren. If you think that everything will be settled if you take care of these two… Then, you’re dead wrong.”
“Then who’s our enemy?!”
If only he knew.
“Our enemy? Well, if I had to say, then it’d be—”
“Ymir!” He couldn’t let her tell Eren. He couldn’t let her go. She was the one who’d ruined their mission to begin with. She had to return home with them. If not...  “Do you think this world has a future?” He paused, piecing his argument together. “If you know that much about what’s going on, then think about your plans. Surely you can consider coming over to our side.”
“And trust you? Fat chance! You can’t trust me.”
“No, I can trust you. Your goal is to protect Krista, isn’t it?” Even in his fractured state of mind, he knew how to get to her. That much was obvious, especially with the look in her eyes. “Based on our situation, can you not imagine we can help her in some way? Or… Do you think Eren’s strength is more reliable than ours?”
“What?!”
Despite Eren’s shout, he knew he’d convinced at least some part of Ymir. She was glaring at Eren, presumably sizing him up. “You were thinking of using Eren to escape from here, probably because you thought you had no chance if you let us take you.” She didn’t, but truth was strong in times of negotiation. “To be honest with you, that’s exactly right. And even if you did join us, we wouldn’t be able to guarantee your safety. But, if we’re just talking about Krista… Together, we might be able to make something work. Your tiny little life… or Krista’s future: it’s your choice.”
He was basing this off of his own deduction. Annie had learned much about the aristocratic families, enough to know there was an illegitimate child out in the world. Ymir had told Krista to live for herself, suggesting she had never done so before. And, to top off the theory, Krista had revealed her true name was Historia. That was a noble name if he’d ever heard one.
“Hey, so who’s our real enemy?!”
“Who knows…?” With those words, he knew he’d bought her silence and support.
If only he could buy (f/n)’s safety…
“Reiner,” Bertholdt met him upon his branch, “are we really going to trust Ymir? Her Titan is small, but it was fast. If we don’t restrain her, she could take us out in moments… She… really is the one who ate Marcel, remember?”
How could he forget? That moment was cemented in his mind, his first monumental mistake. He’d let his focus drop for but a moment, and Marcel had saved him. Marcel was devoured by a Titan with long hair and black eyes. There was no second guessing the facts, at least for this memory. There was no disputing the identity of Ymir’s Titan. Her claws and sharp fangs couldn’t belong to any ther than the Jaws.
What if… he’d have been the one devoured that day?
“That’s right. But that’s exactly why her position is clear. She finally became human again. She probably wanted to wander, thinking of only her own survival… That is, until she met Krista. She found someone she valued more than herself, someone so dear that she’d jump into a swarm of Titans for her.”
He’d found that someone too…
“Reiner.” Bertholdt grabbed his shoulder; it brought him back to the moment, but he wouldn’t let it show. “What are you right now?”
No one.
“I’m a Warrior. Don’t worry. I have more reasons for bringing Krista with us than her just being cute. Did you forget? Annie tailed those guys who were loitering around the Training Grounds to see what they were up to. They came to observe Krista from the Church of the Wall, that group that knows what’s inside the Walls. Krista’s an important figure in a Wallist family. In other words, if the Coordinate we’re looking for isn’t Eren, then our mission won’t be over yet. If that happens and we have Krista, it should make the search much easier than it is now.”
“Yeah, let’s put an end to this. Next time we come here, we’ll be able to bring Annie, Krista, and that back to our hometown. And… that will be the last time we ever come here.”
Why did those words hurt so much?
Why couldn’t he use rationale to bring her home?
Why had this happened?
“Yeah, all our duties will be complete.”
His heart wouldn’t be.
But, Bertholdt’s…
He stopped him. “But, Bertholdt, tell Annie how you feel once we get to our hometown.”
If only…
“What?!”
“You stare at her too much! Enough that anyone paying attention would notice.”
“No, I—”
...he could do the same…
“Aw, who cares?” He crossed his arms. “You’re both murderers with little time left, right? Who else but one of us could understand the situation we’re in?”
Could she…?
Then, a sound met his ears. It was so familiar…
He glanced behind him, and there he found something he hadn’t quite factored into their equation.
Green smoke signals…
“Bertholdt.”
“The Survey Corps? Already?”
He readied his triggers. They had to move. “They shouldn’t be able to put together a scouting formation without moving a lot of horses over the Wall. I didn’t think they’d be able to act this quickly… Damn it. Commander Erwin might be with them.” Without a second thought, he shot an anchor above Eren. “We’re up against a tough bunch.”
He should know.
“Huh? What is it, Reiner?! It’s not night yet!”
“Doesn’t matter. We’re heading out now.”
He had to be level-headed. Bertholdt was counting on him. Annie was counting on him. Zeke was counting on him. His mother was counting on him. The entire Nation of Marley was counting on him. What were his emotions in the grand scheme of things? What was he in the grand scheme of things?
A Warrior.
There was a world waiting for his next move. The weight was on his shoulders; he could feel it. And, as he stepped toward Eren, he met his rival head on. “Eren, don’t be stupid and put up a fight.”
Eren laughed; it was forced. “Hey, you don’t need to act so tough. Look at me!” His arms were still healing from being severed, but Reiner knew better than to trust that. “There’s no way I could possibly fight back. Come on...” Reiner knew better.
So why did he let Eren attack him like that?
He was thrown on his back from the force, and Eren was above him, smashing his unformed arms relentlessly into Reiner’s head. He took it for a bit, allowed Eren to tell him to die, even considered it. But then, he found his resolve again. He kicked his former friend to the side, and, when he tried to get back up, he wrapped his forearm around Eren’s throat.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll fucking kill you! I’ll rip you apart!”
Just one squeeze, and he could kill him.
No, he needed him alive.
As he added pressure to Eren’s throat, he wondered just how it’d come to this. Why did the world have to be so cruel? Why had he been born in this position? Why were the Walls filled with people? Why had she been born inside the Walls?
At this point, he just had to accept it.
So, as Eren’s consciousness faded into nothing, he finally allowed his mind to settle on one thing: getting back home. That’d been his mission all along. That was all he’d ever wanted. Why had he forgotten that? Why hadn’t he stayed the course?
This was all his doing. He had to be the one to fix his mistakes.
As Bertholdt tied Eren to his back, Reiner planned his next course of action. The Survey Corps was too close for comfort, as were the Titans. Bertholdt had to carry Ymir on his back as well, so their mobility was limited. The situation just wasn’t in their favor.
Once Ymir was situated, Reiner and Bertholdt shot into the trees, and the Titans below followed. He gritted his teeth. “For now, we need to head somewhere with no Titans. Stay as far away from them as possible. I still haven’t recovered, and my Titan moves slow, so if we get surrounded, I won’t be able to protect both of us.”
“Then why the hell didn’t we wait ‘til night?!” Ymir shouted over the passing wind. “Oh… Signal flares?! So the Survey Corps came to save us?!”
Looking over his shoulder, he groaned. “Damn it, they’re already close. This is all because Eren got violent.” They had to get to the other side of the Titan Forest, and quickly. They were low on gas as it was, but, if they could just outrun the Titans, he could transform. It was open ground from there. They’d have the advantage.
“Reiner! It’s Krista!”
“What?”
“Krista’s with them! Now’s our chance to grab her!”
That wasn’t part of the plan. “You’re full of it! No way you can see that far!”
“I know she’s with them!” Ymir’s voice was desperate, demanding. “That idiot is too kind-hearted for her own good! She came to rescue me!”
That wasn’t part of the plan.
“Even if that’s true, we can’t go now!” He turned forward again, toward the mission. “We’ll get another chance!”
“What?!”
“We can’t grab her the way things are now! There’s no way to bust up that formation! Wait for our chance!”
“‘Wait for our chance’?! When’s that going to be?! After one of your Warrior pals eats me?! No! I can’t trust you!”
“Trust me! I’m not lying when I say we need Krista too!”
Just trust me!
“Prove it then! Prove it to me, right now! I need it to be now ! I want it to be now… At this rate, I’ll never see her again!”
At that, Reiner fell silent. His mission was in his eyes, but his heart…
I’ll never see her again…
“We can’t.” It was Bertholdt who answered, calm and collected. “Right now, we don’t even know if we can escape safely ourselves.”
He had to assure someone that a life would be saved, even if it wasn’t the one he truly wanted.
“I promise you! We’ll save her, I swear it!”
She was silent for a time. Then, as they continued their flight, she shouted, “I’m the strongest one here in this terrain.”
Reiner turned to find her grabbing at Bertholdt’s face, covering his eyes. “Ymir!”
“Ymir, stop!”
“Shut the hell up and think for a second! I’d be able to dominate this terrain, don’t you think?”
Bertholdt’s next anchor barely hit its mark. “Ymir, stop, we’ll fall!”
“That’s fine with me. My Titan might not be as strong as yours, but I can move quickly through the trees. I could grab Eren and rendezvous with the Scouts before you even knew what hit you. Wouldn’t be that hard.” At her threat, Reiner found his footing on the next tree he anchored to and stopped. They couldn’t risk it. “If you don’t take Krista right now, I’ll make a nuisance of myself here.”
Why couldn’t she just go along with the plan?
“Are you completely insane?! We won’t be able to save her that way! All because of your selfishness! I thought that you genuinely cared!”
“I do, in my way. Even if it means robbing her of her future, I want to survive and see her again. As a person, I’m really lower than shit… But she knows that, and she smiles at me anyway. You two don’t know what that’s like, do you?”
He did…
“Damnit!”
“Don’t be mad. I’ve thought this through. If I fight here, it’ll make it easier for you to escape! Or,” she glared at Bertholdt, fire in her eyes, “we could always tear each other apart instead! You think I’m nuts?! Then try me and find out!”
They couldn’t risk fighting here and now. If they did, the Corps would catch up, and they’d be too exhausted to fight them or even run away at that point. Ymir was right; she had the upper hand in this situation.
Damnit…
“Fine! We’ll keep heading to the edge of the forest! You better follow through, Ymir!”
“I will!”
With that, she let go of Bertholdt, falling behind them into a burst of lightning. The plan seemed to fall with her.
Even so, Reiner had to push forward. They still had Eren. He was more than enough, but the Jaw Titan was a priority too. He had to retrieve it. It was his own idiocy that caused them to lose it. It was all him. If he couldn’t bring it back to Marley, he was an absolute failure.
He already felt like one.
The edge of the forest was soaring into view. Their future was somewhere on the other side. As they switched positions in holding Eren, he all but held his breath. If Ymir didn’t come, what was the course of action? If—
“She’s here, Reiner!”
There she was. If she’d returned to them, that meant she’d succeeded in nabbing Krista. Somehow, the plan was working. Somehow, it didn’t seem all for naught.
“Good.”
So, just as he had so many times before, he held a knife in hand, and he jumped from the trees. It was all muscle memory from there. He eyed his hand as the blood trailed into light, and he wondered what the pain really felt like. He’d never felt it. The wound always closed as soon as he transformed.
(f/n) had felt it...
Lightning.
Ymir and Bertholdt latched onto his shoulders, and he ran. He ran, like he had the day they’d come there. He ran like he had, with Bertholdt and Annie on his shoulders. He ran, with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Open sky, open land awaited his feet. He was finally free.
Why did it feel as if that wasn’t the case?
Upon his shoulder, he heard a cough. Krista must have woken up.
“Ymir!”
“Krista… No, Historia.” Ymir must have exited her Titan. “I’m sorry I ate you out of nowhere. You must be mad, right?”
Left, right, left, right…
“What is this? What’s going on? We came to rescue you and Ere—”
“You don’t need to rescue me! Things have changed! I’m with Reiner and Bertholdt now. Like it or not, you’re coming with us! There’s no future inside the Walls! Hear me out for a second, okay? Life outside isn’t as bad as you think. Believe me. There’s no one out here saying the world would be a better place if you’d never been born.”
Think again.
“Yeah?! I don’t think Titans would say much either way! They’d be too busy trying to eat me!”
“We all have our shortcomings, right?! They’re not so bad if you look past that! It’s complicated, alright?!”
“Ymir, I don’t know what’s going on in your mind, but you’re not making any sense! It must be… that Reiner and Bertholdt forced you to do this, right? They threatened you!”
From his other shoulder, he heard Bertholdt voice his own thoughts. “It’s the opposite, actually…”
“I’m right, aren’t I?! Let go! Whatever they’ve got on you, I don’t care! We can fight them! Put the past behind you! What matters is right now! I’m here! I will always be your ally!”
If only…
“Ymir!” Bertholdt. “In case you haven’t noticed, the Scouts are closing in. If we’d left earlier, there might’ve been a decent chance of outrunning them. Going back for Krista was your idea. You forced us. Remember that? Ymir, why? What did we do this for?! Have you changed your mind again? Have you decided to stay inside the Walls with Krista? Don’t be a fool! Think!”
A fool…
“Let go! Don’t listen to him!”
Don’t listen…
“I can’t!” Ymir’s voice was shattering upon the wind. “I wish I could. Historia, I know you think I did this for you. But, at the end of the day, I did it for me. A long time ago, I stole the power of the Titans from one of their comrades. Their power is absolute. Inside or outside the Walls, there’s nowhere for me to run. At this rate, I’m going to be killed… But, they said if I cooperate, hand you over, they’ll speak on my behalf to get my crimes pardoned. It’s because you’re so important to the Wallists, who know the secrets of the Walls… When this world started going to hell… I thought that being with you… would be insurance for the near future… I almost died fighting at the tower… And I just couldn’t take it anymore. I was scared of dying. I wanted someone to save me somehow… I lied, and told you I was doing it all for you, but, really… It was all for my own sake. I’m begging you, Historia! Please, please save me!”
Please…
Please, save me…
“Didn’t I just tell you, Ymir? No matter what happens, I’m on your side!”
He was running toward the sun, running toward the blaze, but it didn’t emanate the brilliance he’d always revered. No, that was behind him. She was behind him. He knew. It was inevitable.
Shadows always sail away from the sun, after all.
Then, another familiar sound…
Was that an anchor in his shoulder?
Was that the whir of the 3dmg?
Were they that close already?
Ymir’s scream told him they were.
“Reiner! Protect us!” Bertholdt jumped under his chin, and to shield him, Reiner brought both his hands up to form a cage against his neck. Just in time, for Mikasa slashed at his hardened knuckles only a second too late.
“Mikasa, no! You’re not going to kill Ymir!”
Mikasa was on his head now. “That all depends on her! What’ll it be?! She can step aside or she can die! Her choice!”
“Reiner.”
That voice…
On his right shoulder, next to his ear...
She shouldn’t be here. She’s injured. She shouldn’t be here.
“Reiner, I know you can hear me.”
I can, (f/n).
“Please, tell me this is some sort of misunderstanding. There’s no way…”
It isn’t.
“Tell me, was any of it real? Did you ever truly care about me? Or was it all part of this lie?”
It was real. I care about you. I care about you.
“How many lies did you tell me?”
Too many to count.
“Why…?”
She was crying. Her fists met his cheek; he barely felt them. He barely felt.
If he had it his way, he’d tell her how real it all was. If he had it his way, he’d take her with him. If he had it his way, he’d stay with her until the end of time, until he’d heard everything she knew and everything she didn’t and every wish and every cry a thousand times over. But, it was never fated to go his way. Fate didn’t favor bloodstained hands. He had to accept that. He had to.
He was up to his shoulders in red.
“Why would you do this to me, Reiner?!”
To save the world.
“Why would you hurt so many people?!”
To save the world.
“You’re terrible!”
I am.
“You’re terrible…”
Her voice fell to a whisper. He couldn’t hear anything else. It was only her.
It was always her.
“I guess it’s always been like this. I’ve never gotten any answers from you. You’ve never listened to me. I should’ve known.”
I’ve always listened. I hear you.
“You’re a monster. I cared about you, and you’re a monster.”
You’re right. You’ve always been right.
“None of that matters. Just focus on taking their heads off,” Mikasa’s words reached him. “If you even hesitate for a moment, we’ll never get Eren back. They’re a threat to Humanity. That’s all.”
Thump, thump, thump.
“Do you think that anyone wants to kill people?!” Bertholdt voiced his own thoughts, broken and all alone. “What kind of person would do this for fun?! Who would want to do this?! With what we did, of course you despise us and want to kill us! We can never take any of it back! But, we couldn’t come to terms with our sins… When we were pretending to be soldiers, it was a little bit easier. It’s not a lie, (f/n)! Connie! Jean! It’s true that we deceived you, but it wasn’t all lies! We really did think of you as friends! We really did care! I know… we don’t have the right to apologize. But, someone… Please, someone… I’m begging you, someone find us…”
“Bertholdt… Give Eren back.”
“I can’t do that. Someone has to do this. Someone…has to get blood on their hands.”
Someone...
“Everyone, jump off right now!”
She left a void on his shoulder. She left a void.
And Death was coming. Titans, a horde of Titans, were approaching them from ahead. The Commander was leading them straight toward Reiner. There was nowhere to go. The weight of the World was on his shoulders; the weight of his friends’ pain was there too. There was no escaping his sins. There was no escaping the path he’d set out on. All he could do was run, run and hope they’d make it out on the other side.
Just do what needs to be done, and keep moving forward.
With hands latched firmly to his neck, Reiner dipped his shoulder and ran. Just as he’d destroyed the gate those many years before, he rammed through the horde in his path. They kept coming. He kept charging. Ymir was screaming. They were around his neck, biting his head, holding him down. He had to move. Quickly, quickly, he had to move.
He had to get home.
Where could he go? He was surrounded. There was no way to fight with his hands around Bertholdt. There was no way to protect Bertholdt as he fought. What could he do? How many were there? Ten? Twenty?
It wouldn’t matter if they died.
Hold on, Bertholdt.
Just a little longer.
We’re almost there.
He let Bertholdt go, and he swung at the Titans closest to him. He swung, and he swung, and he prayed for safety. He prayed for home.
The Scouts…
They were upon him now. They were after Bertholdt. He had to choose the greatest enemy. He had to choose. He brought his hand up and around his friend.
“We’ve made it this far! We’re taking Eren with us and going back home!”
“Bertholdt!” Armin, upon his neck. “Are you two sure about this? You’re going to go home and leave your friend behind?”
Annie…
“You’re leaving Annie behind? Right now… Annie’s deep underground in Utopia District, to the far north… where they’re torturing her…”
No, no that couldn’t be true.
“As soon as they heard her screams, they realized… The wounds on her body might heal, but she can’t make the pain go away. They’re being careful not to kill her, of course, but they won’t let her rest. At this very moment, they’re inflicting pain on her in every way they know how—”
No, Annie…
“Children of the Devil!” Bertholdt… “I’ll kill every last one of you!”
At Bertholdt’s scream, Reiner looked down. At the sight of the Commander, he knew it was all over. Eren was falling; Eren was in Mikasa’s arms. They’d lost. He reached out to the retreating Survey Corps in a last attempt at recovering the Coordinate, but there was no moving with the Titans surrounding him, suppressing him.
It was over. He wouldn’t be able to last against so many Titans on his own. Bertholdt’s Titan was useless in a retreat. They needed Annie. They needed Marcel.
This was all his fault.
In an act of hopelessness and indignation, he picked up one of the smaller Titans and hurled it at their formation. He didn’t care who he killed. He didn’t care. He was on the brink. He was in a corner. So, he hauled another onto his shoulders, and he threw. If Eren was eaten, all the better. Perhaps the one to inherit his Titan would be less of a maniac. Perhaps, they’d be like Marcel. Then, they could go home.
Home…
With that on his mind, he could move. With that on his mind, he could push through hordes of Titans to his goal. In the face of Death, in the face of failure, he could do anything if home was the goal.
Lightning…
No, that wasn’t lightning. What was that?
Was that… the Coordinate?
What was that scream?
All of the Titans upon his back, all of the Titans begging for his nape, left him. They all ran past him, away, to devour another Titan. It was a Pure Titan. There was no reason for them to target it.
Unless…
Eren had the Coordinate. He could use it. The situation couldn’t be worse. Eren, of all people…
We have to get it back.
The last person in this world who should have that power is you, Eren.
“Stay back, you bastards! I’ll kill all of you!”
Eren’s voice reverberated in his very soul. That lightning was behind his eyes again, and he knew it was over. There was no escaping the horde Eren directed their way. There was no escaping his sins. Eren had promised an excruciating death; this was it. He would be devoured if he didn’t run. He would be devoured if he ran.
Bertholdt… I can’t keep him safe!
Bertholdt was screaming. There was nothing he could do. There was nothing.
Nothing…
But then, something so inexplicable happened.
Ymir came back.Ymir saved Bertholdt. Ymir fought the Titans along with him. For some reason, she’d chosen them; for some reason, he’d live another day. So, he ran. He ran until he couldn’t run anymore. He ran until his mind was numb. He ran until Ymir had to take over. And she ran until they were atop Wall Maria, the same Wall they’d destroyed those many years ago.
And, as they caught the breath they hadn’t anticipated in their lungs, he found only one question upon his lips.
“Ymir, why did you come back for us?”
“Well… Must be because I’m an idiot.” They didn’t laugh. “I’m here so you’ll have something to hand over. You guys can’t go home empty handed, right?”
He couldn’t believe it. “Do you understand there’s no hope of you being rescued if we go home from here? If you’re going to run… Now’s the time.”
“What’re you talking about, dumbass? I’m tired out. I’ve just had enough. I’m done.” In that moment, he had to agree. He felt done. Done with the hand he’d been dealt; done with the world; done with life.
“Ymir, why did you rescue me?” It seemed Bertholdt didn’t believe it either.
“Maybe because I heard your voice… If you hadn’t come to destroy this Wall, I would’ve been stuck in an endless nightmare. All I did was repay a debt. I’m the only one who knows about your situation, too… I’m the same way… I was hopeless on my own.” She reached toward the sky. The gesture pained him. He’d seen another hand reach for the stars so many times.
“Thank you, Ymir… I’m sorry.” Bertholdt was crying. If Reiner didn’t feel absolutely void, he would be as well.
“It’s fine… Being a goddess doesn’t feel so bad, either.”
He didn’t know about that.
But, something stuck with him. She’d said she would have been in an endless nightmare if they hadn't come to destroy the Wall. As he watched the stars parade across the sky, he had to agree, at least in some respect. If he’d never come there, he never would have experienced life. He never would have experienced friendship. He never would’ve experienced love. Within the Walls, he’d found a love for the World he’d never known. He’d wished for forever. He’d wished for a future. He’d planned a future. He’d found love.
He’d found (f/n).
She was everything he’d wanted. She was everything he’d known. She was everything he was never meant to know.
But, now, he realized that that destruction was a double edged sword. That destruction had led him to his present moment. That destruction had initiated his own endless nightmare, and there was no deliverance.
You deserve it, Reiner.

Okay. I think I’ll finally confess, because I’m way too excited for us to have matching themes. (Also gonna put that you’re my “buddy” in my description if we are gonna match themes lmao👀)Since you’re favourite character is Reiner, mine is........
......
......
......
.....Bertholdt!!!!! :DDD You’ve guessed right this whole time but it was hilarious watching the entire progress of my keeping info away from you and leaving you in the dark😌ALSO PLEASE TELL ME YOUR THINKIG PROCESS AND HOW YOU ALREADY HAD AN IDEA OF MY “TASTE” WHAT-you have idea how hard it was to keep it from you without bursting into my endles compliments I have for this tall precious boy who deserves the world🥺 I’ve been having some ideas but also wanted to let you guess..however it was too painful to wait because you were RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT but you still were unsure and thought it might be Marco or Reiner still aha, and none of this would’ve even been possible if I never mentioned the name because apparently you didn’t even remembered that he existed in the anime😭 So underrated.....Okay I was thinking of changing my quote in the blog name to one of Bert’s quotes and maybe you could do one too? Not to mention matching icons?🥺It sounds like so much fun but idk if you’re up for it..?? 😌Anyways you’re response to my ask was so soft, I’ll just go happily cry in a corner while doing my hw-
KRISTY ISTG I’M GONNA PUNCH YOU I FUCKING KNEW IT as soon as i saw him i was like “i just KNOW kristy is heads over heels for this fucking man” what other guy would you like!!! the answer is none of them!!! only him!!! okay the rest is under the cut because this was an entire journey and a half smh but you ASKED FOR IT
my thought process? whooo this is messy but okay. also if i say it now i won’t have to say it later so i’ll just unload everything here. much easier than ranting in ur dms. also you don’t have to like... reply, you can just read it because i am just delivering what you asked for
okay i’ll confess too, i wasn’t unsure about my answer AT ALL, that was just a cover up 😭 IDK AJDNSJAJ i was so SURE it was him, but there’s always the chance there’s someone else but also literally could not see you liking anyone else. i 100% knew it wasn’t marco bc um... he’ll be gone soon ❤️ idk when but soon. so he’s not exactly a good choice for a long-term fav, but i was like let’s just add him in for some ~mystery~ and also tbh you kinda exposed urself that it’s not him when you said a long time ago that ur okay with jean-marco matching icons but that you still really want me to figure out ur fav
i was trying to figure out how to say it ¿¿¿ as soon as i saw him i was like this is it. i’ve got to tell her. but i didn’t know how to word it AJJSJDJSJ “why do i feel like you like bertholdt 🤡” “ur in love with bertholdt aren’t you 😐” “bertholdt” (that’s right. just his name. and then i’d see how you react.) “him” “reiner’s bff... u like him don’t you” ALL OF IT and we weren’t as close then so i was like AJSJJSJDJ HOW TO WORD THINGS- the amount of times i almost said it but was like hmm... nvm let’s go back to discussing eren, that’s the safest thing to talk about rn. grrr i was just “it’s bertholdt, u like bertholdt u ABSOLUTELY LOVE BERTHOLDT I KNOW IT 🤡🤡🤡” like i could not figure out how to... convey. it was just 😐🤡😐🤡😐🤡 bc it’s HIM. but i was like ur gonna hate me if i say it like that but those were my emotions BC IT’S SO OBVIOUSSSSS
AND WHAT REINER????? nooo i absolutely KNEW you did not like him, plus you said you already had ur reiner phase smh kristy u are so obvious. SO OBVIOUS KRISTY IT HURTS but you also said you were being very careful and not giving me clues??? so i was thinking maybe i’m looking at things too surface level here. I AM NEVER SECOND GUESSING MYSELF AGAIN
i knew it was a guy even tho you kept saying “they” bc YEAH INTUITION 🧘‍♀️ only maybe i’d think you like christa or whatever but idk she’s like... not the first choice. hmm WAIT LMFAO ALSO YOU ALREADY SAID HANGE WAS UR FAV FEMALE CHARACTER kristy the things you say... the clues were enough to confirm my initial suspicions 😈 man me mentioning bertholdt = opening the floodgates for you YOU WERE SO EXCITED
let it be known that i was onto you from the start 😠 if you told me it was someone else i would be like “okay... lies” but in the back of my mind i would have known you must have an intense bertholdt phase at some point. it’s him. it’s always been him.
okay let me explain my relationship with bertholdt because i didn’t forget him ENTIRELY nooo don’t think that 😭 so he shows up with his buddy reiner and talks to eren ❤️ instantly is on my radar bc talking to my boy??? already am like “kristy vibes.” cut to jean existing 🥰 am only focused on him during trost arc bc eren died :( see reiner and annie together, so cute 💞 but where is bertholdt? i decide to write a thing about my thoughts on all the characters. i end up writing a paragraph on why bertholdt is sus bc he’s all but disappeared at this point 😐 felt bad bc it felt like i was slandering him unnecessarily and i knew i should be nice to him bc you like him and i didn’t want to hurt your feelings. i stare at the draft for weeks. decide to go back and look for bertholdt bc i felt like i had missed him (this brings us to current times). i see him, think he’s an okay guy, however seeing him also just leads to me gathering even more evidence that he’s sus. am panicking bc i want to share my thoughts but i don’t know how you will react. this leads to me tentatively telling you about how i think he’s pretty cool so you can see that i am NOT a bertholdt hater. slowly start mentioning my suspicions of a few different characters, etc. you know how it goes from there. i wanted to say it was bertholdt when i sent you that message but i chickened out idk so i was like “haha, this is NOT my official guess okay <3” 😍 grrr the fact that rn i was just going to be like “it’s bertholdt kristy. i know it and you don’t have to tell me i’m right because i already know i am” because i was like okay, we’re good friends at this point, anything i say will be fine <3 plus i was tired of living with this burden of knowledge AND NOW YOU’VE TAKEN THE REVEAL AWAY FROM ME that’s it, i’m going to find a new fav and not tell you about them and make you guess who it is. this is what you deserve.
he’s always been vaguely on my radar but anyway the point is i kept trying to figure out where he was but i’m blind so therefore i assumed he was up to no good. now that i have looked for him and seen him, i still believe he is up to no good (I MEAN THIS IN A NICE WAY PLEASE DO NOT HATE ME). omg i have things to say about him but i still don’t want to be mean 😭 he must have redeeming qualities bc you like him??? but. he gives me certain ~vibes~ LIKE LITERALLY LOOK AT HIM just standing there with reiner (speaking of which reiner is not off the hook either)
gahhh okay i should really just show you the theories thing okay it’s not so much theories now that i look at it but more so my thoughts on the characters i wrote bc slowly it’s becoming more and more irrelevant the more we talk so like... give me a sec and i’ll show you. ugh you know what i won’t even bother to edit it, you’ll see my RAW thoughts 😭 they haven’t really changed much anyway because i haven’t watched much aot lately. just use ur intuition and you’ll be able to tell which thoughts have changed for me 💆‍♀️ (read as: anything i say about “where is bertholdt” = he was there all along but i accidentally ignored him) he’s so endearingly cute tho... i am infuriated because i cannot love all these characters. this show... how does it do this to me. also you said you really hope i like whoever it is and i feel like for all the other characters it’s very obvious i’d like them bc they’re all so AKDKDKDK. plus i talked about how much i loved most of them anyway, he was one of the few i barely discussed my feelings about 👀
when we were talking about him i just KNEW you wanted to scream about how much you love him. i was like “do it kristy DO IT prove me right” but ur self control is unmatched, i could never. like you sprinkled in some praise for the other characters but i knew who you were REALLY thinking about ;))))) I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE YOU TOOK AWAY THE CHANCE FOR THE REVEAL AWAY FROM ME this is the equivalent of instantly knowing the answer to a question as soon as the teacher says it but then someone raises their hand faster than you 😐
hhhggg this is getting long but you wanted to know your type as i see it? (okay i just noticed you said “taste” actually but whatever, same thing) dude, bertholdt is the BLUEPRINT for all the guys you like rn. so sweet... like ur suga selfship. it’s so clear. potentially will do something i don’t want to say evil buuuuut, like hello??? DABI. there’s more but you get the point. the day you tell me you don’t like someone like bertholdt is the day i give up on eren. HAHA THERE’S SUCH A PATTERN plus the fact that bertholdt is legit all of those qualities rolled into one??? perfection. also before i even watched the show i saw pictures of him and he looked like someone you’d like so i kind of had that idea in my head from before to look out for him but i kept forgetting his name bc i can’t spell so i was like “who was that guy again” AND I COULDN’T SEARCH HIM UP BC I DIDN’T KNOW HIS NAME... oops? wowww if i wasn’t so shy and scared of you telling me i was wrong and then never talking to me again we would have been done with this whole thing a looooong time ago damn
matching icons yes omg reiner 🥰 he’s all mine now 🥰 damn wait i just changed my icon and i kind of like the vibes it gives off for me. hmm tbf i’ve been meaning to change up my theme and make a new header but i’ve been lazy. it was going be a cute dark blue/purple halloween theme but </3 yeah. i even had the pictures ready and i just had to edit them akjajsjsj. so if you have a bertholdt quote that means i should have a reiner one right? 👀 well he’s said eren’s name before right? so i’ll just keep my current title 🥰 JKJK AJSNSJAJJA i’ll go look for something. hhhggg wait okay can we do them for november? i know i’m going to want a change when november comes 😭 it’ll be like cleanse from october bc man is life kicking my ass rn. plus if i do it rn i’m going to be obsessed with making the new theme PERFECT and i just Do Not have the time to be busy graphic designing my blog 😭 I’M SO EXCITED FOR THEM TOO but ahhh man i love designing things like this so i’m going to be so focused on that. the fact that i briefly considered changing to an eren icon at one point but then i thought you would judge me </3 yes i have a problem with my obsession, what of it also we are more than just buddies, we’re practically aot soulmates at this point because we keep liking the different halves of all the iconic pairs. jean/marco, reiner/bertholdt... um okay well only those two but yeah i’m just kidding, buddy is good hehe that’s so cute omg pls use that 🥰
okay i hope ur happy, i have just exposed all of my thoughts. this is what you deserve for your precious boy so here ❤️ also i was feeling bad and was about to ask you if it’s okay to be sus of bertholdt because he’s truly a cute baby to me plus he has ur heart so maybe he’s truly good :( but then i remembered you like the villains in bnha so i wouldn’t put it past you to like someone who may or may not do something... suspicious. so i will be deciding myself who’s sus and who isn’t 😠😌 no criticism allowed this man is UP TO SOMETHING it’s always the quiet ones
ALSO I WAS GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK FOR HIM EITHER WAY I SWEAR not just bc you mentioned him!!! 😭 he was always in the back of my mind ❤️ well i didn’t know exactly who he was but i was vaguely like okay the tall soft one... need to look out for him for kristy’s sake. okay maybe you DID influence me in some way to go look for him because technically i only ever even considered him bc he stood out as someone you’d like. but ur right, so underrated 😭 lo siento bertholdt u are actually too cute for this world and i am a dummy for not realizing that sooner :(
anyway now back to our regularly scheduled program of me talking about the armored titan ❤️ whoever you are mr. armor pls hmu ily ❤️ poor reiner watching me be unloyal rn. so weird that i’m going through a phase for both of them but here we are. this stupid titan is the only thing i’m looking forward to in the rest of the trost arc and if he doesn’t show up i’m going to wail pls,,,,,
mwah yes do ur hw kristy very good. i will not do mine but that’s okay ❤️ ur the responsible one out of the two of us also the fact that you said my response to your last ask was soft and now here i’m boderline yelling at you about bertholdt... duality please talk to me about how much you love bertholdt now or else ❤️

Night of Tongue twisters
Rating: M
>>>Read on AO3<<<
Why yes, I did just write another pointless flashback chapter that doesn't move the plot forward. How could you tell?
Also
Eren loves going down on Mikasa. No, you can't change my mind.
It took a bit of driving to find the shop which sold the brand of ice cream Mikasa wanted, one that was still open at this ungodly hour that was, but Eren didn’t mind. With her sweet treat secured, they were back at the hood of their car, as neither of them felt any particular rush to get home, with her absent-mindedly licking into the creamy goodness, leaning back and dangling her feet in the air. The tips of her stylish stiletto heels, quite expensive pair Eren got her as a gift, didn’t even make it to the ground. It still amazed him, how gracefully she could move in shoes like these, with killer-high heels, making it look so easy. Back in college she owned almost none heeled shoes, preferring solid combat boots or sneakers, and groaning loudly anytime they watched a movie together where the heroine did any sort of explosive action in high heels.
“She would just fall on her face.”, Mikasa would say, “This is so dumb.”
Eren smirked. How the tables have turned, miss fashion model. With nothing better to do, he just looked at her, as she was enthusiastically snacking, Mikasa’s greys soon meeting his as she sensed his intense gaze. Noticing his stare, she smiled and slowed down, tracing delicate patterns into the ice cream, using the tip of her tongue more, very clearly referencing a different activity she could do with her mouth. The one Mikasa mastered to a deadly degree, Eren could say, as he was rather often on the receiving end.
“You want some?”, she asked, offering the ice cream to him, surprising him a bit. Mikasa really enjoyed this treat and wasn’t prone to sharing it.
“You must really love me if you want to give me some.”
She shrugged.
“Maybe I just enjoy the things you can do with your mouth.”, an impish smile sneaked its way onto her features, “You’re an artist with your tongue baby.”
“We are still talking about ice cream, right?”
Mikasa was full-on grinning now.
“Of course. What else?”
Eren snorted, knowing exactly what she was implying. His oral skills didn’t come cheap, however, he perfected them over their time together, and they were a result of both his determination and tons of gained experience. One night came to mind, now that he was thinking about it, the one when Mikasa came home tired from a workout and things just sort of escalated from there. It was the first time when Eren dedicated the entirety of their time to Mikasa, and the results were so good that the nights repeated rather often. As he was remembering more and more details resurfaced in Eren’s mind, making him recall the events in all their glory…
Half-dead, Mikasa finished the set, taking a step back and breathing deep. Sweat was trickling down her body, muscles aching, chest heaving. Sure that she earned a break, Mikasa swung her gaze at Levi, who was watching her with an unimpressed expression.
“Go again.”, he ordered.
“You can’t be serious.”, she gasped, “I’m done.”
“You’re done when I say you’re done.”, he pointed at the punching bag, unmoved, “Go. Again.”
A few choice words were slowly making their way up Mikasa’s throat, words that would let her brother know just how much she disagreed with him, but she stopped herself before saying them. It was hard to admit, but Levi simply knew better, regarding fitness. It was his doing that even allowed her to get an athletic scholarship for college, the one she was enjoying right now, and if nothing else, he deserved respect for that. So, with her muscles screaming at her, Mikasa rolled her shoulders, and once again took her fighting stance, steeling herself. She would get through this. She had to.
Tired, so insanely tired. Pushing herself through the bedroom door, Mikasa dragged her feet, vision swimming. Even taking a shower back at the gym, when Levi finally deemed her destroyed enough, was hard, as her muscles simply refused to work when she ordered them to. Face first, she fell into the bed, groaning all the way, lacking the energy to even undress before her eyes closed. Screw the midget.
A tug woke her, followed by a whispered curse, as someone was apparently trying to do what she should have done, and remove her clothes. Her jacket and shoes were already gone, and now the mysterious stranger tugged at her jeans, only to realize that he can’t pull them down with the belt still on. Gentle hands rolled her over on the back, and then there was the sound of click as her belt was being unbuckled. Yawning, Mikasa finally cracked her eyes open, to see Eren’s satisfied expression, as he was proud of himself for solving the pants problem so well, dragging the zipper down and then tugging the jeans down for the second time, with more success. Folding the piece of clothing over and putting it away, Eren returned to his mission, only to stop when he noticed that Mikasa isn’t sleeping but watching him with half-lidded eyes instead.
“Uhm... Hi?”, awkward, he scratched the back of his head, unsure of what he should do now.
“Eren.”, she said, getting his attention, “Did I tell you to stop?”
“Huh?”, eyes widening, he finally realized what she meant, nodding after.
Moving back towards her fallen form, he pulled her shirt up, getting it off with moderate problems, as Mikasa decided to play dead and be completely unresponsive. Still, a small sound of pain escaped her, when he pulled her arms up to get that shirt over her head, her abused muscles calling for attention. And of course, Eren noticed it immediately.
“Hard day at the gym?”
“That’s an understatement,” gritting her teeth, Mikasa stretched, arching off the bed in a small curve, “I feel like Levi killed me today.”
Knowing just how harsh her brother could be, Eren nodded in acknowledgment, running his hands over her shoulders and feeling the tension there. Which, in turn, gave him an idea.
“Want a massage?”
That woke her up.
“A massage? Well, if you wouldn’t mind….”
He didn’t. So, turning her back to lie on her front, Eren began kneading her shoulders, looking to work out the kinks he felt. There was a massage class offered, one he was eyeing to enroll in, but that wasn’t starting until next semester, so, for now, he had to go with what felt right. Mikasa helped, telling him to press harder, or to ease up, where to touch her, and together they managed to make the ache lessen, although it was still present in her body. The way he touched her, how he reacted to every advice she gave him, it reminded Mikasa of the times when they had sex because it was basically the same thing. Eren wasn’t experienced, neither was she, but they just worked together to find what felt good. And he was always so willing, so eager to please, often putting her over himself in terms of pleasure. Mikasa couldn’t have asked for a better mindset for her lover. Thinking about it, about how better he was getting with every time they did anything, she could feel the tiny flame start to take place between her legs, Damn it, she was supposed to be tired, not turned on, but Eren’s helpful massage was doing things to her. Maybe, just maybe, she wasn’t THAT tired after all. With a resolute move that had her muscles loudly protesting, she turned, coming face-to-face with Eren’s raised eyebrow, as he wasn’t sure what she was doing right now.
“Baby,”, she started, eyeing her prize, “Touch me.”
“I was touching you.”, Eren pointed out.
“That’s not what I meant.”, taking his hand, she guided it towards her sports-bra covered chest, letting his palm rest on her right breast.
“Touch me.”, she ordered again, in a more resolute tone.
“Okay…”, getting the message, finally, he ran his fingers over the shape, before tracing it down to the edge of the cloth.
“Guess I should remove this?”, half-question, half statement.
“Guess you should.”, Mikasa assured him.
A shuffle of clothing later, she was left clad only in her panties, but Eren didn’t make the move to take those away from her yet. It’s not that he didn’t want to, but there was simply no rush, and making Mikasa relax and melt into his hands was a goal he always took his time with. Taking hold of the now naked breast, Eren kneaded it, softly, not that different from the massage. Circling the nipple with his thumb, he didn’t let it rest until it was alert, teasing the hard nub after anyway.
“You have two hands, don’t you?”, Mikasa cut into his fun, voice breathy, “Why don’t you use both?”
Good question. Following her advice, Eren reached out with his left, curling his fingers around the small firm shape of her previously unattended left breast. It was harder to coordinate his moves, now that he was using both of his hands, but Eren was determined to please her, and not half-bad at multitasking. Thumbing her hard nipples, he traced the outlines of her breasts, playing with them, squeezing, fondling, basically doing anything and everything he could think of to make Mikasa feel good. It was working, as he could judge from her quickened breathing and from the way she squirmed on the bed, hands pulling on the covers.
“U-Use your mouth.”
Once again complying with her request, Eren moved, latching his mouth on her right nipple, flicking at it with the tip of his tongue. To make up for the lack of his mouth on the left, as he had only one, he pinched the nipple he wasn’t using his oral skills on, which in turn made Mikasa arch from the bed with a breathy moan. Ah, so she liked that. To test how rough he could be, he tried again while at the same time gently biting and pulling with his teeth. And still, she wanted more.
“S-Suck. Please.”
Sure thing. Mikasa’s breathing kept quickening as he obeyed, the rough treatment of her chest being very enjoyable, apparently. But while Eren would be perfectly fine to remain here, switching between the two perky mounds of fun, Mikasa craved more. In public, in everyday life, she was the silent strong type, not demanding or needing attention. But here, in private, she often found herself impatient, wanting to squeeze more pleasure out of her boyfriend. It was selfish, in a way, but Eren never seemed to mind, following her commands with utmost efficacy, always happy to please. And if he was offering, why would she ever not take advantage of it. With her chest thoroughly used and abused, she tangled her fingers in Eren’s hair, pushing him down, in the direction where the heat was concentrating.
“You’re going down on me.”, Mikasa informed him, not leaving any room for conversation.
Eren wanted to say something, maybe his agreement, maybe something witty, but she kinda didn’t care, blinded by lust. The only thing she allowed was Eren removing his shirt, incredibly generous move on her part, but then it was time to act. Moving around on the bed, she pushed him down until he was face to face with her slit, raising her hips to help him with shimming the already considerably damp panties down her legs and throwing them away, caging Eren in with her legs after. As he knew firsthand, Mikasa had insane strength in the lower half of her body. Thighs around his neck, her knees on his shoulders, Eren had no chance of escaping unless she would let him, and she had no intention of doing so until he satisfied her. If Eren had any problems with that, he didn’t say.
With no other option available to him, he moved in, mouthing her glistening slit, toying with her. Mikasa was already wet, the way he played with her breasts more than enough to get her going, and Eren’s tongue slid nicely around her entrance. Pushing the tip inside her, he licked at her weak points, trying to make feel as good as he could. They had a kind of a deal, Eren and Mikasa, that they would never pretend when they were in bed. No fake orgasms, over the top moaning, overplayed body reactions, or anything of that kind. She still squirmed underneath him, but wasn’t very loud, because if Eren wanted to hear her scream, he had to earn it. Withdrawing his tongue, Eren put his idle hands to work, spreading her lower lips open to locate the clit, hiding from him beneath the hood. The tip of his wet muscle went to work again, probing at that place, moving around it. When he sealed his lips around the nub and sucked, Mikasa finally moaned above him, loud and breathy, and knowing that she isn’t faking it only made the achievement so much sweeter. He wanted more, more of this, more of her losing control, so pulling back, as much as her leglock around his neck allowed him, he looked up at her face, pale cheeks tinted red.
“Tell me what you want.”
“H-Huh?”
Mikasa’s usual fast reflexes were dampened and knowing that he’s the cause of that gave Eren a certain swelling of ego. And a certain body part, one he was bravely ignoring so far.
“Tell me what you want.”, he repeated, “Same way you told me how you want your chest to be played with. Instruct me.”
“Oh, o-okay.”, wetting her lips, Mikasa nodded. And took the offered command position.
“Go back down. Lick the outside again. ”
Her word was his command. Dipping back down, Eren once again traced the outlines of her cunt, kissing, dragging the flat of his tongue alongside.
“S-Slower. Go slower.”
Speeding down his movements, Eren took his time with pleasuring her. Slow, tormentingly slow, he moved his head, not leaving even the smallest part of the skin between her legs dry. It was interesting to see, the place where the porcelain skin changed into the pink of her sex, to trace that border with his mouth, kissing both inside and outside. Teasing the outer outline of her lower lips, Eren stayed exactly where she wanted him to be, not pushing forward, waiting for Mikasa to tell him to. The tempo was hers to dictate.
“O-Okay okay…”, her hand made its way down, fingers tangling in Eren’s hair, and she gently nudged him further in, indicating for him to move, “Dip inside…”
Pushing just the tip of his tongue inside her, he made sure to keep the slow tempo she enjoyed, licking patterns inside her. She was close, the trembling of her thighs around his neck said, and Eren had to control himself not to increase the tempo and make her cum faster, but Mikasa ordered him to go slow, and he wouldn’t go against her wishes.
“D-Deeper.”, she moaned above him, her hips arching into his mouth.
Going in as much as he could, Eren worked her, his hands digging into her hipbones to keep her in place. He needed her to be still in order to get the best results. And finally, after building her up for this long, Eren did keel her over with a deep shove of his tongue. Mikasa climaxed, loudly, her body trying to move but being held in place by her lover’s hands. She tugged at his hair, hard enough to make him groan, the vibrations translating into a very nice massage, as Eren’s tongue was still deep inside Mikasa. It felt great, amazing even, but when she tried pulling him up for a kiss, Eren resisted, keeping himself anchored between her spread legs.
“Wh-…What?...”, she managed to breathe out, the aftershocks of her orgasm still making it difficult to speak.
“Let me stay here.”, Eren requested, running his hands up and down her trembling thighs.
“You…”, she swallowed, “You don’t want…. Sex?”
God knows that he did, his erection almost painful at this point, but there were more important things in life than getting himself off. Eren was told, repeatedly, that he’s good with his mouth, but good just didn’t cut it. Making her cum was well within his abilities, but Eren would be much happier with his performance if he could blow her mind anytime his head moved between her legs. He always took pride in the things he did, and this one wasn’t any different. It was a question of Eren’s honor if you will. Once he set his mind on a goal, he could be painfully single-minded, and right now, the only thing he cared about was making Mikasa the centerpiece of his universe. Forcing her to moan and writhe on the bed, to make her cheeks boil red and her skin to sweat was on top of Eren’s list. Every woman was different, and he wanted to know exactly what Mikasa liked and disliked, what she enjoyed, what would make her climax the hardest. He didn’t want to be good at eating her out. Eren aimed to be perfect. Ignoring his needs, he shook his head, winking up at her.
“I’d like to keep using my mouth on you if you don’t mind.”
Talk about offers that you can’t refuse.
“Oh, o-okay..”
His grin got wider.
“Thank you.”
In his prime place between her legs, Eren could see that she was calming down, and he took it as a cue to go back in.
“Keep talking..”, he murmured, kissing the dripping place gently, “Tell me where you want me.”
“Clit… M-My clit…”
Repositioning to the engorged nub, Eren pressed the flat of his tongue against it. Toying with the sensitive bump was always a lot of fun. After having his fill of licking it, he sealed his lips around her clit, sucking gently. As Mikasa’s moans increased in volume, so did the strength he applied, bringing her closer and closer again. And still, she was insatiable.
“Hands…. Your…”, she moaned, arching, “Fin-… Fingers…”
Easily deciphering what she wanted, Eren pressed his digits against her unattended opening, easily sliding one in. Adding a second, as she was wet enough to accommodate it, he curled them up, gliding the tips alongside the walls of her sex, seeking for that one place that made her go crazy. Above him, having a great time, Mikasa let go of his hair, as Eren’s head was exactly where she wanted it to be, and palmed her breasts instead, squeezing her own flesh. The nipples were still sensitive from Eren’s rough care, and she made sure to abuse that fact, rolling her hard peaks between her fingers, the sensation only adding to the amazing waves of pleasure Eren’s mouth and digits kept giving her, hard at work between her thighs.
“M-More…”
The third finger was a tight fit, but it went in with a wet sound, disappearing into her and joining its two brothers in their hard work of pleasuring the goth. Mikasa came hard soon after, the second orgasm leaving her breathless, the multiple stimulations she was both receiving and giving herself more than enough. And still he wouldn’t relent. This time, Eren didn’t even pause, ignoring the bucking of her hips and keeping his mouth sealed around her clit while his fingers moved in and out of her in a murderous tempo. Abs taunt beneath her skin, a sight Eren simply adored, she was loud, so loud, and still he pressed on, determined. Not even getting the chance to calm down, Mikasa came again, her third finish in such a short time accompanied by a scream of pleasure. Slowing back down, Eren withdrew, but if she thought that this was the end of it, Mikasa was horribly mistaken.
“I want you up,”, he informed her, pulling the girl into a sitting position, “Hands and knees, please.”
Brain covered by a thick fog, she slowly obeyed, rolling herself over and scrambling up to the requested position. Fully expecting that Eren finally wants some pleasure himself and intends to take her from behind, Mikasa was mightily surprised when he laid on his back instead, moving until his mouth was once again right under her dripping wetness. His arms enclosed around her, pulling her hips down, and before she realized what was happening Mikasa found herself sitting on Eren’s face.
“W-Wait, what are you…”, but she couldn’t even finish the question, because his adventurous tongue dipped inside her again, making her groan and arch her back, “Oh god..”
She was so sensitive, any touch of his mouth made her produce the most delicious of sounds, and Eren was just drinking them in. Working her slowly, it was once again just his mouth, hands busy holding her waist, but that was good enough, especially when Mikasa’s own were free. So she put them to work. Dipping one hand between her legs, the other up to touch her breast, she began pleasuring herself, helping Eren along. Her clit was so wet beneath her touch, as she pressed two fingers against it, rubbing herself in small quick circles while also touching her chest, pinching and pulling the nipple. Mikasa didn’t have to worry about balancing herself, Eren held her up, and she was allowed to grind herself against his tongue as much as she wanted to. It felt like when they were having sex with her on top, only now she wasn’t riding his cock but his mouth instead.
Mikasa knew that he liked it, when she touched herself while he was inside her, liked to watch, so she gave him a good show. Playing with her clit, Mikasa closed her eyes, leaning back into a more comfortable position, not holding any of the pleasured sounds in and letting them spill free. Pinch and a roll later, all her actions accompanied by Eren’s diligent efforts, Mikasa was cumming again, her thighs squeezing his face between them, adding to the already alarming number of bruises that were bound to blossom on his skin in the coming morning. Her movements faltering, she was growing feverish, slow, her muscles resembling jelly, but Eren didn’t stop, probing into her with his tongue, and she found herself unable to pause herself. Like a machine, she kept her fingers moving, touching her at this point incredibly sensitive clit, again and again, hoping to milk at least one more finish out of herself. Sweating, body spasming, she managed to do so, her abused body almost collapsing on top of her lover, as holding herself upright was impossible.
Luckily she didn’t have to, as Eren flipped them over again, letting her lay on her back, but his hands didn’t let go of her Mikasa’s hips. He was holding her lower half up, casting an inspecting eye over his exhausted lover. She was close to passing out, chest heaving, hair in a glistening mess, skin covered in sweat, eyes fluttering open and closed. She couldn’t even touch herself anymore, hands thrown over her head in the position of total surrender. Mikasa was by now in no condition to guide him, but Eren was confident that he gained enough experience to keep going himself. Moving his hands a bit, getting a firmer grip on her skin which was already marked by red spots from how hard he was holding her writhing body down, Eren dipped his head again, burying it between her shaking thighs. Oversensitive at this point, she cried out, eyes rolling back. The way her hips spasmed and from the intensity of the sound she made combined with the tear rolling down Mikasa’s cheeks made Eren worried if he perhaps wasn’t pushing her boundaries. But then she spoke.
“S-Stop..”, she half-whispered in a shaky voice, making him pause immediately, looking up from his delicious prize, face glistening with her juices.
“You..”
However, Mikasa was quick to correct herself.
“Do-..D-Don’t, s-stop! Don’t!”
Ah.
More than happy to follow her wish, Eren dived back in. Now in full control, with no assistance from her side, he used everything he learned during their long session, mouthing her slit, dipping in, attending her clit, switching things up not to leave any part of her ignored. He couldn’t even say if Mikasa was climaxing anymore, her body in a constant state of sweaty euphoria, moaning, arching and spasming under his tongue while her hands kept pulling on the soaked bedding above her head, knuckles bleeding white. The only thing he regretted was that her cute small tits were now completely unattended, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Eren was already hard-pressed to keep her hips where they were, arms straining, any motion of using his fingers for pleasure unrealistic. One of the things about her having such strong muscles of her core was that now when Mikasa was writhing like this, with no conscious control, the involuntary spasms of her body were powerful, making the simple act of holding her ass up rather difficult. Yet his mouth alone seemed to be enough, as she was already weak, and Eren pressed on.
Mikasa’s feet kept pushing into his back in her silent encouragement, beating into him, the only thing that she could do in this state when most of her body wasn’t even listening to her anymore. And when that pressure stopped, with a long, drawn-out half-moan half-sigh followed by a shaky exhale, when the trashing of her body halted, he knew to stop, that it was over. There was nothing more he could tease out of her.
Gently letting go and lowering her abused lower half on the bed, Eren couldn’t help but feel pride blossoming in his chest. There was no doubt that he’s positively blown Mikasa’s mind, using nothing else but this mouth and hands, and that was an achievement he intended to remember. There was the small problem of his underwear being basically soaked at this point, his own needs completely unattended, but making the machine-like body of his girlfriend almost pass out, squeezing all the juices it could possibly give, was worth it, and Eren enjoyed it immensely. Sitting on the bed, quite unsure what to do now, as Mikasa was simply lying there, her body still trembling in aftershocks, eyes closed. Eren took the moment of solitude to take a few deep breaths, calming himself after all the efforts. He was quite tired, no doubt about it, the long, long evening of him endlessly toying with Mikasa’s delicate parts taking its toll. Just as he was getting slightly worried, the time of Mikasa’s unresponsiveness extending, she blinked her eyes open, unfocused greys findings his face.
“You killed me.”, she informed him, voice weak, blinking the tears of pleasure away from her eyes, “I’m dead.”
“Really..”, placing his hand over her heaving chest, Eren let it linger there, taking in her agitated breathing and fast heartbeat, “You seem quite alive to me.”
She shook her head, smiling.
“Nuh-uh. I’m dead.”
“Death by a thousand orgasms? Not a bad way to go.”
She started laughing at that, but it soon deteriorated into a coughing fit.
“My throat..”, she rasped,  “is so dry.”
“I’ll get you some water.”
Climbing off the bed, Eren set out in order to find something to drink for his lady love, to replenish all the fluids her body dispensed over the course of the evening. At the same time, he made sure to wash his face, because it was rather soaked from her. Eren returned, handing Mikasa the water bottle, watching her drain most of the contents in a few gulps. Cumming so much dehydrates you.
“You good now?”, he asked when she set the bottle down, stretching.
Eren knew that Mikasa had insane stamina, a result of all the training she did, but he was sure that his performance managed to exhaust her. He was quite tired himself. His tongue felt heavy in his mouth, the muscles of his neck were aching, the spots where her legs squeezed him sure to bruise. But it was totally worth it, both because of the experience he gained, but mainly because of the way he made Mikasa feel. Giving her pleasure just made him happy, it was as simple as that.
Eren was just about to suggest a shower, so they can properly clean themselves, when a touch appeared on his thigh, making its way up. Looking down, he saw that its nothing else but Mikasa’s foot, gliding up until she reached his clothed length, sliding up and down over it with murderous intent. Not believing what he was seeing, as there was no way that she had any energy left, Eren looked up and saw Mikasa watching him with darkened eyes, biting into her little finger in a very sensual expression. Before he could say anything, the way her foot massaged his aching length stealing his ability to act,  she extended her hand towards him.
“C’mere.”, Mikasa drawled, lazily.
Eren couldn’t say no to that, even if he wanted to. But when he did take her up on the offer, the hand that pulled him back to the bed had a surprising strength to it, and he couldn’t do anything to prevent the sudden tumble towards the sheets, back into the clutches of his insatiable girlfriend. Still far from being down with him, the goth had plans for the night and expected full cooperation. And those included Eren on his back, a task which she set out to complete with determination. Mikasa didn’t flip him, as she usually did, didn’t do that quick move that Eren couldn’t even track with his eyes and that strangely reminded him of a submission move from wrestling. She was slow, smiling, not rushing anywhere, body heavy from the repeated orgasms Eren so generously gifted her. After making Eren lie down, it took her a few tries before she successfully climbed on top of him, sitting hips to hips, her soaked wetness pressed against Eren’s clothed straining length. An idea popping in her mind, she reached over to the bedside table, rummaging through the items until she located the bottle of lube. Thanks to her brain being so incredibly overloaded, still recovering from the hormone overdose, it gave Eren ample time to admire her small breasts, which in a position like this were pressed right in his face. As he ogled those firm tits from up close, he could see that they were still reddened from his earlier playtime with them, bitemarks littered all over the area. He never grew bored of those perky puppies. Finally retrieving the elusive bottle, Mikasa pulled back, blinking down between her legs to see that Eren still had his pants on. It surprised her.
“Uh… Can you strip?”
He grinned up at her.
“If you move a bit…”
By their efforts combined, they managed to take his pants and underwear off, finally making him as bare as Mikasa was. As she expected, he was rock hard, his cock leaking pre-cum everywhere. Eating Mikasa out was mostly for her pleasure, definitely, but it would be a lie to say that Eren didn’t enjoy doing it. Squirting the lube on her palm, Mikasa smeared it over his rigid length, slowly, loving the way it made him tense up. They didn’t use the lube often, only when there was simply no time for foreplay, and surely didn’t need it now when she was literally dripping, but Mikasa wanted to slide as much as she could, and the lube was going to help. When her hand disappeared, with his cock as lubed up as it could possibly be, he fully expected to be soon greeted by the warmth of her pussy, but he was quite wrong. Mikasa’s burning desire was taken care of, and she could be a damn tease if she wanted to. And right now, she did want to.
Moving over him, she sat down, in an angle that didn’t let him penetrate her, but instead pressed his length flat against Eren’s stomach. His hands automatically flew to hold her hips, by instinct, but she was having none of it. Reaching down, she peeled them off her skin, repositioning them so he would hold the headboard of the bed instead.
“No touchy.”, she ordered, “Just lie back and enjoy the ride.”
Eren wasn’t sure how to feel about being talked to like he was a baby, but complaining had a place and time, and this surely wasn’t it. Satisfied with his obedience, Mikasa sat back and began moving. Front and back, she slid herself against him, very slowly. And back, and forth, and back, and forth, her hips continued in their hypnotizing dance, gluing Eren’s eyes to the place where they were touching. Touching, but not joined. The “no touchy” order robbed him from any ability to influence her, so all he could do was observe. To see her sharp hipbones, the action of her beautiful fit stomach, the contractions of the abdominals he loved. This was also a bit of a workout, Mikasa noted, albeit much more pleasurable and much less exhausting than what Levi kept putting her through at the gym. She was still very tired by Eren’s mouth actions from earlier, but the very short power nap she took after allowed Mikasa to move at a steady tempo. With her libido completely depleted, she didn’t even feel a need to let him inside her, the fire that usually burned between her legs extinguished for now. On his part, Eren simply needed to be inside her warmth as soon as possible, and while he didn’t beg, most of the time, tonight might be the time to do things differently. Knowing that Mikasa was satisfied, her urges taken care of, she could very well just keep playing with him like this for hours, denying him any sort of relief.
“Miki, baby…”, he began, his voice shaky, “Can you…?”
“Can I what?”, she raised her eyebrow down at him, her hips still stirring, “You have to use your words Eren.”
“Can you… let me in… please?”
“I dunno,” the tease smirked, “Can I?”
She could. After letting Eren beg her few more times, just loving the way his voice sounded, so needy for her, Mikasa stopped in her torment. Once again retrieving the lube bottle, she applied a generous portion on his length, knowing that while the sliding was all fun and games, the penetration will be a bit more intense. She was understandably still very sensitive between her legs. The lube was an amazing idea, and Mikasa was sure to congratulate herself, because when it combined with her own wetness Eren’s cock slid very nicely inside her, the two of them fitting together like pieces of the puzzle. Or a key inside a lock, that was a more accurate comparison. The way his thick girth stretched her did feel a tiny bit uncomfortable at the start, but Mikasa braved through it, and at the time their hips pressed together again it was nothing more than a memory of a sting.
With all Eren’s impressive length inside her, Mikasa slowly began moving again, resuming the same back and forth sliding from earlier. To stretch herself better, her hips soon changed their routine into small circles, eventually moving on to bigger ones, her preferred way of riding. All the while, Eren stared at her, brows pressed together, gritting his teeth, because this feeling, with Mikasa’s walls squeezing him inside her, the tight warmth so overwhelming, that was simply out of this world. She moved slowly, again, not rushing anywhere, having her fun, enjoying the way his cock rubbed the places deep inside her, the ones not even Eren’s fingers could reach. Oh, but she was playing again. Her hips were moving as she liked, torturously slow, just circles, and Eren couldn’t take it anymore. Sweating underneath her, breath hitching, he was on the edge, but the friction was just not enough to push him over.
“Please!”, he cried out, hips arching into hers, trying to find that missing tiny bit of pleasure that would finally finish him, but he couldn’t do it by himself. Especially not when Mikasa moved up at the same time, so high that he almost slipped out of her, only the tip of his cock remaining inside.
“Oh? What’s that?”, she asked, her hands moving onto his chest and pressing down, hard, crashing him back into the sheets. “Did I allow you to move?”
“No… Bu-But..”
“No buts,”, she shook her head, the image of strictness, “if you want something, ask for it. You can talk, can’t you?”
Well, normally he could, but now? Eren’s brain was next to non-functioning, ruined by the night spend between Mikasa’s legs without getting anything in return himself, and now the minx was taunting him, edging him so cruelly, and he couldn’t do anything about it.
“I wa-want…”, he tried, “I want….”
But Mikasa picked just that moment to move back down, and the beginning of the next word changed into a broken cry. She was enjoying this, so much. Leaning forward, Mikasa’s face was now right above his, the ends of her hair tickling him, and at the same time she moved again, this time raising her hips and then lowering them again, upping her riding game.
“What’s that?”, she whispered, her hot breath fanning over Eren’s face, “I can’t understand you.”
He couldn’t do it. Couldn’t talk, not when she moved like this, up and down, up and down, riding him hard, giving Eren no time to respond. Like this, however, his climax was approaching at an alarming rate, and he thought that yes, this is it, eyes rolling back, muscles in his stomach tensing, so close, so fucking close….
“Are you close, baby?”, she teased, “Do you feel it coming?”
He couldn’t answer with words, groaning instead.
She stopped.
A whine ripped its way from Eren’s throat, full of despair, the hands that till now faithfully held the headboard flying to her hips in a primal need to force her to move again, to finish him off. Right, as if that would ever work. Patiently, Mikasa peeled away his fingers, one by one, moving them back to the wood instead.
“What did I say about touching?”, she sighed, “So disobedient… I feel like I’ll just have to end it here… ”
“No!”, eyes shooting up, full of panic, Eren shook his head vehemently, the thought of her getting off him without any sort of happy ending terrifying, “Please no, anything but that, please, please..”
“Shh… It’s okay, it’s okay”, reaching down, Mikasa smoothed a sweat matted strand from Eren’s face, “Since you’re begging so nicely, I’ll give you one more chance. That good?”
“Yes, th-thank you… thank you…”
Satisfied, Mikasa patted his cheek, leaning back again and resuming the torturous pace of her hips.  Circles first, then back and forth, effortlessly changing into the up and down pumping. Again, he was growing close, so fucking close and….
Mikasa stopped. Again.
This time, Eren gritted his teeth to keep the whine in, but it still escaped. He was so fucking desperate, the word desperate didn’t even begin to cover the way he felt. And still, the goth girl on top of him kept teasing.
“As I said, you have to tell me what you want baby. I’m not letting you cum unless you ask nicely, so use your words…”
Cruel, so cruel.
“Mi…Mika…”
Fuck, how was he supposed to tell her, when talking was impossible?
“Mikasa, please…  I want…”
Just before he could finish, the answer that was, she resumed her movements. But this time, Eren knew that his brain simply won’t survive another stop, he’d just fucking die, so using all the mental capacity he had left, which wasn’t much, he pieced the letters together.
“I wa-want… you… b-baby……” he tried arching into her again, so desperate, but she just paused, pushed his ass back down, and continued, as if nothing happened.
“Mi.. Miki…. Please…. I wa.. want y-you…”, Eren repeated, so fucking close to losing it, “Plea-… Please b-baby.”
The broken syllables that he so heroically managed to croak were enough, Mikasa decided. She was growing soft on her boo.
“You want me?”, she asked, seeing him nod so vigorously that it made her giggle, “All right then….”
Pouring all her remaining energy into this last stretch, Mikasa moved, up and down again, increasing the strength of her thrusts. The feeling was heavenly, and the only thing that Eren found himself regretting was that he couldn’t palm her breasts while she rode him, the small firm shapes bouncing on her chests being hypnotic. But she ordered him to keep his hands on the headboard, and for his own sake, he had no intention of disobeying her. To appease her, hoping that she won’t stop this time, Eren did his best to keep talking, use his words as she said, but the only syllables he could push out were the ones that made up her name, chanting “Mikasa” over and over in a feverish prayer. It made her feel like some witch, doing a forbidden ritual. And Mikasa always did enjoy rituals, the secrecy of dark magic being essential in the goth part of her life. She did attend a few, mostly during her depression period in high school, cast a few spells, but none of those were nearly as intimate or intense as this.
Moving faster, moving stronger, Mikasa was in the zone now, massaging his whole length inside her. The strength of her riding combining with the oversensitiveness still lingering between her legs manifested in a sting anytime she came down, but to her own surprise, Mikasa found herself not minding the bits of pain. The rougher sex seemed to be just her thing.
In the beginning, she thought that there was no way she could cum, all her pleasure eaten out by Eren, but somehow Mikasa found herself nearing one last peak. It was certainly partly caused by how obedient Eren was, praising her like this, making her his goddess for the night. He wasn’t submissive in their day-to-day life, far from it, decisive and full of quiet strength which sometimes brimmed into hot-headedness. Mikasa was the one quieter with tendency to blush easily anytime her boyfriend was involved, his whispered words, light touches and sexy smiles making her crumble. But here Eren was beneath her, dedicating everything he had to her, only her, fingers clawing at the headboard just because she told him to, crying out Mikasa’s name and obeying her every command as if she had really bound him with dark magic. Eren gave himself to the witch willingly, and it was amazing, empowering, and Mikasa found herself quite liking this control over her boy. Newfound kink, if you will. To finally reward her loyal worshipper, Mikasa kept the tempo up even as her body started failing her, her muscles remembering the exhaustion from earlier.
Finally, after a century of torment, Mikasa allowed Eren to finish.
Her rewards bearing fruit, Eren came underneath her, his hips arching into hers, a guttural shout falling from his lips, interrupting his Mikasa chant. It was a dream come true. All the merciless teasing from her instantly forgotten as Eren’s mind went blank, a massive orgasm hitting him, his cock twitching and spurting a whole evening of teasing worth of load inside her. Enduring this night was now made instantly worth it, and he loved Mikasa so much, he couldn’t even put it into words. The spots that danced in his vision converged into a white light, blinding him temporarily, blood pounding in his ears, cutting off any senses Eren had left.
Meanwhile on top of him, as Eren was having an unforgettable climax, Mikasa was close herself, so with the last push of herself from him, she used all her remaining strength and pushed back down, right over his cock buried deep inside her. For a reason Mikasa couldn’t decipher, her orgasm was accompanied by a loud crack and the feeling of collapse, but she didn’t care, deaf and blind to the world. Finding her last bits of pleasure and giving into it, she collapsed on top of her lover, sweaty same as he was, closing her eyes. Okay, now she was, beyond any doubt, finished. Done.
“Mikasa.”
A voice, cutting into the fog that covered her brain.
“Miki, you have to get up.”
“Why…”, she groaned, not feeling like moving.
Eren snickered, right next to her ear, whispering his answer after.
“I don’t want to alarm you, but we broke the bed.”
Opening her greys, curious, she slowly sat up, whole body mightily protesting against the movement. He was right, she realized with a start. The frame of the bed was broken, snapped in half on both sides, the mattress collapsing onto the ground. Her own fall was shielded by Eren’s body underneath her, but he took the brunt of it. Yet looking down, Mikasa saw that Eren was still smiling, seemingly not caring much.
“How… How did this happen?”
“That’s obvious, isn’t it.”, he reached over to gently place a hand over her stomach, “You’re just too strong Miki, the bed couldn’t handle the way you move.”
She gasped.
“I did it?”
“Hey, don’t feel bad about it.”, Eren comforted her immediately, “I’ll get us a new one. Sturdier frame, I’d say. Maybe metal could withstand your riding…”
Amongst the ruins of their bed, exhausted beyond belief, Mikasa just stared, confronted by the ridiculousness of their situation. Beneath her, Eren was grinning as he sat up, leaning over to kiss her. Not willing to talk, not willing to do anything, Mikasa hugged him close, pressing her face into his neck and closing her eyes again. The world could wait. Stroking her sweaty back, Eren was happy beyond words that the bed frame was decent enough to wait until Mikasa finally allowed him to cum, after all that teasing. If it snapped before that, he was sure that his mind would snap right along with it. And a new bed for this kind of night? Please, that was a trade he would do ten times out of ten.
Totally worth it.

Ghost!Levi x Reader
Modern!AU
Warning: Cursing, Mentions of Blood, Slight Angst
Summary: You meet the ghost of your favorite fictional character from your most adored anime AoT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Y/N you're crazy if you think we're going in there with you!" your childhood friend Farlan screeched pointing to the largely abandoned castle that stood behind you "y-yeah! It's not safe in there!" your other friend Isabel added, clicking your tongue you rolled your eyes turning back to the castle you couldn’t help but smile at it. "Come on guys! It's exactly like the castle from Attack on Titan! Imagine all the cosplay photoshoots we could do there!" you plead as Farlan scowls. "Y/N you can go in by yourself but we're staying out here" he argued as you huffed before an idea sparked in your mind "but guys! It could be fun! You wanted to go on an adventure and here we have one!" you grin gesturing to the stone building.
"Good point big sis.. Yeah I'll join you!" Isabel cheered appearing at your side in an instant, Farlan pinched the bridge of his nose groaning inwardly "fine... I'll follow you Y/N.." he grumbled as you beamed with excitement. "Let's go!" you cheered bounding off towards the castle. Skidding to a stop you look up towards the doors 'it really does look like the old Scout HQ though... What am I thinking? AoT is fictional!' You inwardly scold yourself. "I say we split up, sound like a good idea big sis?" The redhead suggested earning an eager nod from you.
"I am not being separated from you! Isabel I'm following you since we all know what you can do in abandoned places by yourself" Farlan comments following you and Isabel to the main doors, putting all your weight to your side you creaked one of the massive doors open. Sauntering inside you glanced around in awe, looking over your shoulder to the pair walking in behind you-you sent them a reassuring smile "alright.. Time to split up, if you need help just scream Sasageyo" you tittered at the word you chose as Isabel laughed "got it big sis! See you in a while!" and with that, she grabbed Farlan's hand and took off down a corridor.
Smiling at the two you started on your own way which happened to be a set of stairs leading to another floor, taking out your phone you held it in your hand in case you needed pictures of anything or you needed the torch. Quietly whistling you looked around you at the stone corridors that had torch holders on the walls, some cracks had made their way up the walls along with some plants. Wooden doors were scattered around everywhere with faint markings on them.
"I swear this place is just like the Scouts HQ as I imagined it... I should have brought my cosplay.." you mutter quietly noticed a deserted training field outside, opposite the training field was another part of the building, it seemed like the building was in a U shape. A few silent minutes passed of slowly walking through the corridor and you came to a firm stop when you saw a door opened just a little, bright light seeped through the gap which perked your curiosity, humming silently you cruised towards the wooden door, a metal palet was latched onto it covered with dirt. Grumbling from the filth you took out a tissue from your backpack and wiped away the dirt revealing a surprising text on the metal.
'Captain Levi's Office'
Your jaw dropped, without hesitation you swung the door open and nearly tripped going inside the room, a large wooden desk sat across from the door accompanied by a big chair and a window behind it. Bookshelves were scattered across the room as it looked like some other small room was connected to the office due to a door in the corner. "Oh my fucking god... This place... Oh my fucking.." you stampered rushing over to the desk you went behind it and yanked out the drawers that sat shut.
Papers lay neatly in the drawers as you took a page out delicately, careful not to damage it. There was neat black ink writing on the page, at the bottom was a signature you thought you would never see in your life.
~ Levi Ackerman
'This can't be real.. This cannot be real! Probably some other cosplayers or whoever were here before us! Oh my lord..' you mentally scream taking out another page and finding the same signature and writing. Swiftly taking pictures of the pages you put them back in the drawer and slide your phone into your back pocket. Hesitantly pulling out the large chair that sat in at the desk you checked it for spiders or insects, clearing off any cobwebs or dust you sat down resting your arms on the desk in front of you you stared in shock after your discovery.
"This isn't real this isn't real... Levi is a fictional character... Oh my god I'm panicking.. I'm probably overthinking this.." you say out loud gazing around the room, you felt tears prick at the corner of your eyes for some reason... Was it that you're happy that you're currently sitting in Levi's abandoned office or tears from you panicking too much?
A breeze wafted towards you sending shivers down your spine as you looked down to the desk sighing. "If I see any ghosts I'm most likely going to piss myself.." you mutter again, you felt like you were being watched but you didn't know from where. Standing up you made your way to the bookshelves, a green fabric piece was folded up covered in dust and cobwebs that sat there. Gently taking it down you shook off the dust and you swore you nearly fainted at the symbol of the Wings Of Freedom crest on the back. "Shit.. I'm gonna cry, why am I crying!?" you question yourself violently rubbing your eyes and returning to the desk with the cloak. "This is real... How long has this place been around for... Ugh I need to stop crying everytime I find something belonging to Attack on Titan here.." you say. "What the fuck is Attack on Titan?" a thick voice bounces off the walls making you jump, holding the cloak to your chest you looked around frantically trying to find out where the voice came from.
"W-Who's there? Don't try anything funny.. I-If you do I'll- I'll-.." you stuttered a threat "You'll what? Try strangle me with my own cloak? Tch.." the voice says again but from right beside you, darting your eyes to your side you paled at the sight. A man that somehow looked identical to the Levi Ackerman you knew from your favourite anime, except this male was slightly see-through. Screaming at the top of your lungs you nearly fell back in the chair trying to scramble away from whatever that is. "Would you calm down, you're going to shit yourself.. Why are you here?" the man asks stepping closer to you. Hopping out of the chair you scattered to the other side of the office, unfortunately tripping over your own feet sending you down on your stomach with a howl of pain.
"Idiot.. Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you" the man said again, kneeling down next to you. Switching your gaze to the male you flinched under his intense stare. "Again.. why are you here?" he asked watching you stand up cautiously "I-I came with my f-friends, we wanted to go on an a-adventure.... This place looked like the o-old Scout Headquarters so we went in.." you muttered as he clicks his tongue. "Scout Headquarters huh? And how did you know this place belonged to the Scouts? And why in the world were you taking photos of my paperwork?" the man grumbled watching you, nervously scratching the back of your neck you averted your gaze. "Well.. I watch this show about well... Humanity against big human eating creatures called titans... Then they showed the Scouts HQ that looks like this place.. So.. It's called Attack on Titan.. " you genuinely didn't know what to say to this ghost or whatever it was.
"I'm presuming you know all about them big bastards then, even the walls?" the man asked, excitedly nodding you grinned "yep Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina! And the Underground!" you chirped, he seemed impressed with your knowledge as he nodded. "Well you know who I am as well?" he continued as you hesitantly nodded, biting your lower lip you looked over his features. "You're Humanities strongest..." you mutter as he crosses his arms nodding "Levi Ackerman.. But you're fictional! How can this be real!?" you screech as Levi scowls "tch maybe the government doesn't want anyone to know a so-called anime is based off a true event that happened hundreds of years ago" he responded as you gave him a sympathetic look. "I-Is it alright if I call you Levi or-" "yes" Levi cut you off, now noticing he was wearing his uniform minus the jacket you gawked in awe.
"Is it only you here..? Is Hanji or Eren here?" you question hoping everyone would be here, uncrossing his arms Levi trails his stormy grey orbs to his desk "yes.. Everyone is here" he states as you perk up from excitement. "Oh Levi do you want to meet my friends-" you stopped talking after just before you mentioned Isabel and Farlan. Levi rose an eyebrow to you "what? Meet who?" he asked leaning against his desk. "Uhm... Do you want to meet... Farlan and Isabel..?" you suggest lowly as Levi's eyes widen a fraction. "You don't mean.." he looked like he was in pain as you hesitantly nodded, biting his lower lip he agreed.
"Alright one sec.." you say and walk out the door of his office just to let out a very loud 'SASAGEYO' walking back inside you acted like nothing happened as Levi stared at you in concern. "What the actual fuck-" he was cut off when the door slammed open, in came stumbling the familiar red-head and Farlan as they panted, jumping up Isabel ran to you and began inspecting you for any injuries. "Big sis are you alright!?" she panted, nodding you saw Levi stare at her in shock. "Y/N who the hell is that!? We didn't bring a fourth person!" Farlan exclaimed pointing to Levi who snapped his gaze to Farlan in a pained expression. 'They must be reincarnated and not remember Levi.. Oh no my sweet boi!' you thought as Levi stuttered for something to say.
"Guys, believe me on this but this is Levi Ackerman! This place belongs to the Scouts I told you! I told yooouuuuu~!" you point a playful finger to Farlan as he looks in horror to Levi, Isabel was wide-eyed as she cautiously walked to him. "You're familiar..." she muttered as Levi kept quiet, glancing to you he gave you a soft expression. "I'll be back... I- Have to go.. You three should too, what's your name?" Levi asks as I pout at him "my name is Y/N L/N, I'll visit again Levi.." you say watching him disappear into thin air.
// Time Skip \\
You visited the castle for years, sometimes you'd have Farlan and Isabel tagging along but other than that you went alone, you even met everyone else including Hanji who welcomed you with a surprisingly warm hug.
Walking through the cracked and empty corridors you sauntered to the same place you always went, Levi's office. Wearing your Scout cosplay you didn't base it off of any character you just wanted the uniform, the surprising click of your boots echoed off the walls as you went into Levi's office.
"Boo!" Eren whispered in your ear as you entered, jumping you yelped sending him a disappointed look he laughed. Levi's office would be the meeting place where people who wanted to chill with you waited for your return, multiple of your favorites were scattered around the room. Mikasa and Armin sitting on the couch at the far side of the room, sending you gentle smiles as you entered, Hanji and Erwin who were chatting about human-spirit interaction. Levi sat at his desk, his face lighting up ever so slightly at the sight of you surprisingly wearing your cosplay for the first time.
Hanji caught gaze of you and squealed, running over to you she grinned looking up and down to you "you look so cute in the uniform~!" she teased as Erwin chuckled from behind her. "Welcome back Y/N how are you feeling?" the blonde asked as you smiled at him "I'm doing fine thank you Erwin, what about you?" you reply as he smiles "I'm doing good thanks".
You talked with everyone for a while, slowly they all began to disappear to do their own thing leaving you with Levi. He gave you an unsure expression "Y/N you have to be more careful walking up and down those stairs... I have a feeling they'll give out any day now, I don't like the thought of you getting hurt or worse" he muttered as you sighed taking off your jacket. "I'll be fine Levi, I've gone up and down the stairs for years.. I'll be okay" you offer a gentle smile as his cheeks tint with pink. "J-Just be careful a-alright?" he stutters looking away, giggling you nod "alright captain.." you watch him playfully roll his eyes as he fixes a strap on your thigh.
"If only I were still alive.." he mutters quietly to himself, cocking your head to the side you perked a brow "what did you say? I didn't hear you" you say as Levi shakes his head. "Nothing, don't worry about it... It's getting late, you're friends would be starting to worry about you now" Levi states with a hint of sadness. "Alright Levi, I won't be able to visit tomorrow since I'm going to a party though.. I'll see you in a few days?" you stand up from next to him slinging your jacket over your shoulders as he nods. "I'll walk you out, don't want Oluo to fucking scare you like last time" Levi grumbled at the thought, his hand brushing over yours sending a tingling feeling through him.
Walking through the corridor you both arrive at the stairs "be careful.." Levi muttered from behind you, snickering you nod. Halfway down the stairs, you hear a strange creak from right underneath you. Shrugging it off you take another step, the second your boot came in contact with the wood you felt the stairs give out from underneath you. Shrieking you fell as Levi shouted at you in panic.
Landing on your back you felt a searing pain through your stomach, grimacing from it you look down to your stomach, a sharp piece of wood had impaled you. Blood seeped out as you began to panic. Hopping down next to you Levi's eyes widened at the horrifying sight, a streak of crimson liquid dripped from the corner of your mouth as you look to the man who panicked kneeling next to you. "No-no-no! Y/N no! Stay alive! Don't you dare fucking leave me!" Levi pleaded as you tried to swallow down the metallic taste of your own blood in your mouth. "Levi.. It fucking hurts.. Please.. If Isabel or Farlan come here tell them.. Tell them what happened" your vision slowly growing hazey as the ebony-haired man teared up, looming over you cradling your head. "Y/N I won't let you leave... I won't.." he tried seeing your skin pale slowly. "I won't lose you because I love you dammit!" he shouted as a sticky tear rolled down from your eye, raising a weak hand to him you smile gently at him. "I love you too Levi..". Watching you fight against the overwhelming urge to shut your eyes for a few more agonizing seconds. Witnessing all life drain from your gorgeous and pale face he stared down at you as tears welled in his eyes.
"I won't lose you..." Levi muttered lowering his slightly transparent face to your own lifeless one, gently placing his lips to your ice cold ones Levi felt a tear roll down his cheek onto your face, pulling away after giving your lips a delicate kiss he wished for it to be like the fairytales, where he could save you from an every lasting sleep with a true love's kiss. Silence filled the stairway except for his desperate sobs and cries began again.
"Levi..? Levi stop crying.." your voice came from behind the whimpering man, looking over his shoulder his gunmetal glossy eyes widened at the sight of you. "Y/N.." he muttered slowly standing up looking at you like you were an angel "yes Levi it's me, don't think I would have forgotten about you already hm?" you tease as he runs to you, engulfing you in his now warm embrace you could actually feel Levi as if he were a person. Smiling you wrapped your arms around him as he sobbed into the crook of your neck. "It's alright Levi, I'm here.. And I'm staying.. I love you.." you say breaking away from the hug mere inches away from his face.
"Fuck I love you too L/N.." he mutters diving in for a desperate kiss that took you by surprise, returning it you wrapped your arms around his neck and entangled your hands in his raven hair. Parting for air Levi presses his forehead against your own as his raven locks tickle you slightly "I've been waiting to kiss you for so long.." he mumbles holding you against him.
"Me too Levi... Me too.."

Request is open? Yayy! I hope you’re doing well and thank you so much for sharing your writing with us❤️! If you have time, could you do a one short for Eren and Historia? Maybe an AU where they get to know each other really well because they siblings (Zeke and Frieda) are dating?
here u go, babe xoxo
Know You Better
EreHisu. High School AU. 
1164 words. 
Buy me a ko-fi!
Eren doesn’t like to be in the house when Frieda and Zeke are there. It’s not that they aren’t nice, but they try too much to include him in things they’re doing when he knows they’d rather they just be alone to do…whatever it is that couples do. Even if they do pretend to enjoy doing things while he’s third wheeling, the way they ogle each other lovingly makes him too nauseous to spend too much time with them. He’d rather spend time shooting hoops in front of their house in the blistering heat even though the sun’s rays are beating down relentlessly on him and he’d have less of a chance of getting a stroke if he just stayed inside.
“Aren’t you hot?” asks a voice as he sits down on the hot concrete driveway for a break.
Eren looks up to see Historia Reiss, Frieda’s younger sister. She usually doesn’t stay very long at his house. Much like Eren, she isn’t too fond of being the third wheel for her older sister and her older sister’s boyfriend. Frieda normally drives them over, invites Historia to hang out with her and Zeke only to get rejected, and then hands the keys over to Historia to do whatever she wants with the car for a couple of hours until it gets too dark outside.
He never thought she would talk to him, at least not like this. It’s not like they’ve never interacted before; they greet each other in the hall, but they’ve never really had a conversation that extended past wishing each other a good morning. And it’s not like they disliked each other either. While it’s true that they do run in different social circles – Historia as a budding queen bee of the school as she dominates the cheer squad and makes her way to being the next cheerleading captain after Frieda graduates while Eren prefers to be alone in his small circle of friends – he always thought she must be a good person if she’s polite enough to greet him every morning.
“It’s alright. I’m kind of used to this heat now anyway,” Eren says. He feels pathetic beside her, all sweaty and messy from playing in the sun while she’s all clean and kempt, but he knows she doesn’t intentionally mean to make him feel this way. In a sad attempt to clean himself up, he lifts the bottom of his shirt and uses it to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It’s not much of an improvement, but he does feel slightly better now. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh, nothing really,” Historia says, waving a hand absentmindedly. She squats down beside him, poking the ball he keeps beside him and watching it roll back and forth. “You play pretty well, don’t you? But you’re not on the team.”
He’s surprised that she’s even noticed. He does fool around shooting hoops in his driveway, but he never thought she noticed. He was sure she had more important friends to think about instead of observing him.
“Er, I’m more of a casual fan, I guess,” Eren says, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Hm. Well, you’re pretty good. I’ve seen you make some impressive baskets whenever I drive by,” Historia tells him. She stands up, brushing off her shorts before gesturing at the ball. “May I?”
“Go ahead,” Eren says, wondering if she’s really thinking about shooting hoops. Somehow, he can’t imagine her ever doing such a thing. Maybe she just wants to bounce the ball a few times, he thinks as he tosses the ball to her.
She catches it easily and tosses it from one hand to the other, feeling the weight of it in her hands. She bounces the basketball against the concrete a few times before holding it and staring up at the hoop hung above Eren’s garage door. She’s so short and standing so far away from the hoop that Eren’s sure she’s not really thinking about shooting, but she frowns and stares at the hoop with such determination. She adjusts herself slightly, angling her body and positioning her hands so that one holds the ball on one side while the other supports it from the bottom. Then, gracefully and elegantly, she shoots and the ball soars through the sky before falling through the basket straight down the middle without even hitting the rim.
Eren’s so shocked that he can’t even form words for a few seconds. Blinking stupidly, he looks at her with his jaw still wide open. “I…I didn’t know you could shoot baskets like that,” he says in surprise. “It’s more shocking that you’re not the one on the basketball team.”
Historia watches the ball roll down the driveway and stops it with her foot before it can get past her. She smiles at Eren’s compliment but shrugs. “I guess I’m just a casual fan like you,” she tells him with a laugh. She bends over to pick up the ball and bounces it towards him. “Maybe we should play sometime. It’s weird that we don’t really hang out even though our siblings spend so much time together. We should get to know each other better, don’t you think?”
It’s so strange to hear these words from her mouth. He can’t imagine hanging out with someone like Historia. She had seemed just a little too untouchable to him, but seeing her shoot that one basket just now made him realize that perhaps she’s not just that perfect cheerleader he had thought she was. She’s also just a really cool girl. If Frieda is anywhere as cool as Historia, Eren can understand why Zeke spends so much time with her.
“Yeah,” Eren manages to say. He squeezes the ball in his arms, wondering if this is all real. “That would be great. Just let me know if you ever have time.”
“Great!” Historia beams. She checks her phone and frowns when she sees the time. After pocketing it, she looks at him with an apologetic smile. “That’s Sasha and a few of the other cheerleaders. They want to go grab a smoothie, but maybe I can see you again next week?”
“Sure, sounds good,” Eren says, nodding dumbly.
He watches as she drives away, only looking away after she’s completely disappeared from his sight. As soon as she’s gone, he immediately pinches himself and winces at the pain, but he’s grateful that it’s not a dream.
He didn’t think there was very much he wanted to know about Historia since he had thought he knew everything there was to know about her – she’s cute, she’s a cheerleader, and she’s Frieda’s sister – but now he can’t wait for the week to fly by so that he can see her again. He wants to know all the other hidden talents she has up her sleeves and learn things about her he never thought he would. He’s really looking forward to getting to know her better.

Eren like... acts traumatized BEFORE he even experiences any trauma and idk I relate to that
Last night was a bullshit halloween but Im not going to get into it
Anyways I remembered how when i was like 10 yrs old I would spend HOURS trick or treating & hoard hundreds of pieces of candy - but I also would write down and like.. inventory? all the candy, i would count the calories & calculate how many pieces = 2k calories, so if I had to run away or there was an apocyplse or something I knew how much food I had stored for how manys days.
I would he like “okay i gave 567 pieces of candy. 25 = 2k cals = 1 day of food. So I have about a month of food if I don’t ration correctly.”
1. Thats not a very smart way of doing it, but you know what for being 8-11 yrs old I give you credit, kid.
2. Why the fuck did I do that??? Who hurt me?? Jesus christ. I feel like ppl exaggerated when they call me a ‘weird kid’ but.. nope. No exaggeration.
And every year, in october a few weeks before halloween, my mom would throw out all the year old candy I hoarded. And I would CRY, i was so fucking pissed at her, i feel bad for it now but I felt like she was killing me. I mean, kudos to her for letting me hoard it for a year I guess? I don’t blame her. But omg the PAIN i felt when she was like, “no, there isn’t going to be a zombie apocypse, you’re being crazy, the candy is stale” and omgg I hated her so much.
But anyways - that is really, really weird fucking behavior. Objectively, right? I wouldnt even eat the candy all year long! I would allow myself like ~20 pieces on halloween and thats it: the rest was my childhood version of doomsday prepping. Hey, I was ahead of my time.
Omg that makes me remember, one time I had a friend over for a playdate and they ate a piece of my candy hoard and I started CRYING, and then they started CRYING, and my mom was so pissed. To be fair, I would be too. I’m never ever having a child because if they’re a fraction like me it would ruin my life.
But anyways like.. from a psychological perspective - that behavior would make total sense coming from a kid who experienced abuse or neglect or trauma in any form. But.. my childhood was relatively normal. I had no reason to ever hoard candy. It just seemed like a logical thing to do? I don’t NEED extra food - so why not save it for when I do? Because zombies inevitable - right? So anyways this is another segment on: “well it makes SENSE why I kin Eren but it still doesn’t make sense why I such a weird child.” I mean u could chalk it all up to ~psychosis~ but... i don’t like answer. It makes me sad. So i’ll pretend i don’t know the answer in the meantime
