Summary
     After what happened that night, Eren didn't think anything could make
     it better and dreaded to think what was going to happen to him if
     Levi found out. Which inevitably with his luck, he would find out in
     the worst way possible.

***** The Mistake? *****
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Eren shut his eyes tight, a groan of pleasure escaping his mouth as he grasped
his shaft, pumping up and down slowly, imagining a pair of narrowed eyes
staring down at him as he looked up from his submissive position on the bed.
Precum dripped from his hard cock as lips brushed his ear whispering promises
of passion and ecstasy making him moan loudly as his fingertips brushed the
edge of his swollen tip. He moved faster, envisioning a pale hand enclose
around him. His head tipped back nearing the edge, hand moving faster and
faster, until he heard foot steps.
As he opened his eyes, Eren gasped in fear as he stared into grey eyes that
belonged to his leader who stood beside him. His dick twitched from the sudden
removal of his hand as Levi’s eyes flickered down his body and back up. Eren
swallowed nervously, his adam’s apple bobbing as he opened his mouth to speak,
but before he could utter a single word his vision swam as he felt a hand wrap
around his throbbing dick. Mouth dropping, Eren closed his eyes and whimpered,
feeling Levi’s gaze burning into him.
“You should’ve been quieter next time brat” Levi murmured into Eren’s ear,
making him moan as Levi’s cool hand glided over him, his dick slick with
arousal. Levi wrapped his hand around the younger boys leaking cock, his hands
slippery with precum. Eren had never been more confused in his life but that
didn't matter now. All he could focus on was the skilled hand that was bringing
him ever closer to his climax. Levi shifted onto the bed, allowing the other
boy to see his clothed erection. Eren gulped, it was a lot bigger than he
anticipated. He thought he was pretty well endowed but Levi was something else.
Eren’s dick twitched and he let out an involuntary moan as he thought of Levi's
dick stretching him to his limits. His thoughts were abruptly cut off as the
older man’s hand left his cock. Eren whined at the loss but the noise quickly
switched to a wanton moan as a long, slick finger slipped inside him. Levi
started to roll his hips in time with his fingers, craving the friction yet
despising the cloth in which his dick was trapped in. The noises Eren made were
making him painfully hard. With his free hand he made quick work of removing
his trousers and pants, chucking them across the room with a mild look of
relief on his usually stoic face as his member sprang free.
Levi’s other hand returned to Eren’s dick, skillfully massaging Eren’s swollen
balls drawing out yet another moan of pleasure making his eyes dilute with
uncontrollable lust. Easing another finger into his warmth, Levi’s mouth
trailed down Eren’s neck before stopping at the base. Pressing his lips to his
neck, Levi smirked as he heard Eren’s breath hitch, heart beating slightly
faster. Sucking gently on the skin and biting down caused the other boy to
suddenly gasp, his breathing accelerating as his hands found his way up Levi’s
clothed body wondering what was hidden beneath the crystal white shirt. His
hips gyrating furiously, he tugged on his captain’s shirt roughly, his
impatience showing on the look of desperation that was currently displayed on
his face.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself now” Levi whispered, lifting his head up and
inserting another finger in Eren, lips twitching up in the ghost of a smile as
Eren’s face flooded in embarrassment, though his flustered appearance was
countered by the determined glint that appeared in his green eyes. Reaching his
hands up quickly, Eren gave the raven haired man a smile and pulled off the
remainder of his clothes, a distinct ripping noise accompanying the array of
sounds that currently filled the room. The younger boy looked down, mouth
dropping as he stared at the sight of Levi’s defined chest, eyes lowering down
to his eight pack, lower down to his- Eren’s staring was cut off as Levi’s
fingers moved in a beckoning motion.
Smirking at him, Levi leaned down, lips barely touching Eren’s as he said in a
low voice, “like what you see?” As Eren’s lips moved forwards to greet Levi’s,
he groaned in annoyance as Levi swiftly moved his head back, dick twitching in
anticipation at the younger boy’s eagerness.
“You think I would let you kiss me when you ruined my shirt?” he enquired, eyes
narrowing as his other hand grasped the base of his cock and squeezed tight.
“You’re going to have to earn that privilege,” he stated, letting out a barely
audible grunt as he took notice of how Eren’s neck moved as his breathing came
out in short gasps, occasionally letting out deep moans of delight as Levi’s
fingers moved inside.
Eren let out a cry of pleasure as his back arched, hips thrusting off his bed
towards Levi’s throbbing erection. The slight pressure against his dick caused
Levi to growl in response, turning Eren’s trembling body over and pressing his
groin to Eren’s tight ring of muscles, biting his lip as the eager boy pressed
back against him, hips bucking uncontrollably. Eren didn’t know what was
happening though he didn’t particularly care at that moment, his lust clouding
his usual judgement. Not aware of the effect his subconscious grinding had on
his captain, he opened his mouth gasping, as he moaned.
“Please captain, please fuck me”. That was all Levi needed before he drove his
cock into Eren, not caring if the younger boy wasn’t ready and began to fuck
Eren at a brutally fast pace. Levi was not going to last long and with the
noises Eren was making that were becoming more desperate every second, Levi
assumed that Eren was close as well. Eren’s body spasmed under Levi’s,
screaming out in pleasure as Levi hit his prostate head on. Levi was about to
tell the younger boy to be quieter in fear that someone would hear them but the
feeling of Eren’s tight hole clenching around his throbbing member and hearing
him mumble some incoherent noises as he came stopped Levi from doing so as he
was sent over the edge, releasing his load inside Eren’s willing body.
After a few moments of Eren’s asshole still clenched tight, milking his cock
making Levi groan, he pulled his now soft member out of Eren. Eren collapsed
underneath him and quickly fell asleep, his body turning sideways at the same
time. Levi looked down on the sleeping boy, confused as to why his body choose
Eren. His confusion quickly turned to disgust when he realised Eren had fallen
asleep covered in his own mess and Levi's cum inside him. Levi shook his head
as he gathered his discarded clothes from the floor and put them on. He headed
straight for the shower and hoped that Eren would do the same as soon as he
woke up. He didn’t know how he was going to cover this up, maybe Eren would
forget all about it, though in his heart, he knew that what happened today was
going to come and bite him back in the ass.

***** The Aftermath *****
Chapter Summary
     After last nights events Eren doesn't know how to process it. Things
     only get worse after a rude comment from Jean.
Chapter Notes
     Well. No more smut for now. Much feels.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Eren awoke to a nauseating feeling. He quickly crawled to the bucket that was
left in the room and vomited. There wasn't much to vomit since he hadn't eaten
very much the day before. That was the first thing that contributed to Eren
having a shit day. Secondly, whilst he was vomiting he discovered that his
chest was covered in dry cum. Third thing was when he realised why he was
covered in dry cum. He groaned as he sat on the floor, head buried in his hands
wondering why his dreams were always so vivid. Although admittedly, this dream
was a lot different to the dreams he usually had, and by dreams he meant
nightmares. They usually consisted of his family and friends being slaughtered
by titans whilst his dead mother’s accusing eyes bored into him as her voice
echoed all around him, “Why didn’t you save me? You could have saved me. THIS
IS ALL YOUR FAULT!” The only other people that knew he had nightmares was his
best friend Armin and his sister, Mikasa. Although she was still so
overprotective of him after all these years, it was almost as if she was his
mother.
This wasn't the first time he had a dream about his superior but this was
definitely the first dream of this nature involving the captain. He wasn't
complaining though. He had long ago come to terms that he definitely felt
something more that admiration for captain, however he knew in his heart that
he would never stand a chance for Levi. Eren was actually rather pleased about
his dream even if he had made a mess having it. His eyes widened as he realised
his bed sheets had more cum on them and groaned in annoyance from the thought
of having to clean them. Eren knew his neat freak of a captain would probably
make him clean out the stables until they literally shined if he saw the mess
on his bed.
Eren stood up but quickly regretted it due to the ache that occurred throughout
his whole body, the fourth reason why his day was shit. This wasn't an unusual
occurrence though so he brushed it off, thinking nothing of it. Collecting his
towel and some clothes, he made his way to the shower room, looking around the
door in case anyone was there. Luckily for him, the room was empty so he
swiftly got into the shower, wincing at the pain that shot through his body and
scrubbed his front before anyone could walk in and take the piss out of him.
Once he had dealt with that, he took his time in getting the rest of himself
clean and enjoying the warm water that ran over his tanned skin. The tranquil
tone of the room was quickly ruined when another boy walked in. Eren looked
over his shoulder to see Jean and Connie shuffling into the room. This was
reason number five for his bad day. Both had obviously just woken up and
neither was a morning person. Jean looked up at Eren and was about to make some
comment to rile him up when he abruptly stopped and looked at Eren’s stomach.
“Oi horseface, eyes up here”, Eren mocked not put off by Jeans confusion. Jean
didn't look up, and Eren got worried. Jean would of snapped at him by now or
made some witty remark about him being a titan-shifter. But there was only
silence. He looked down at his stomach, worrying if he still had cum there but
saw nothing. As Eren looked back up, his eyes narrowed and he wondered if Jean
was playing a trick on him. Connie was oblivious to everything as he hummed a
random tune showered, his foot tapping at sporadic intervals. Eren looked to
where Jean’s eyes were looking but didn't see anything much. He looked around
to see if there was a reflective surface but saw none. He thought about asking
Jean what he was looking at but was beaten to it as Jean finally made a witty
remark.
“You have put on a bit of weight” he said uncertainly, his usual confident and
jeering voice nowhere to be heard. Jean didn't know what to think. He didn't
know it was possible to put on that much weight in such a small amount of time.
He just brushed it off as a titan-shifter thing. However, Jean’s comment
baffled Eren as he couldn’t see anything that was wrong or out of place. He
needed to talk to Hanji about this as soon as possible so he quickly finished
his shower and put his clothes on. He ran out of the shower room to find the
crazy scientist who would no doubt put a smile on his face and immediately make
his day better. He quickly found Hanji but regretted it instantly as this
became the sixth reason as to why his day became shitter than usual. Was that
Levi sitting on the counter? Eren’s mind instantly went to his dream last night
and he felt himself blush like an idiot as he cleared his throat, looking for
words to say to his captain. Levi coughed awkwardly, his eyes averted to the
ceiling completely ignoring Hanji’s devious smile. He had just been having a
conversation with Hanji about what had happened last night since they were one
of his closest friends, even though the eccentric genius drove him nuts and had
shit personal hygiene. He rolled his eyes wondering how he ever became friends
with the nutter. Fortunately he didn’t specify, who exactly he had had sex with
and it was just his luck that Eren walked in at that moment and said he
urgently needed to talk to Hanji.
“My little titan!” Hanji screeched before scooping the younger boy into a tight
bear hug, releasing him as he winced in pain. Hanji’s head tilted sideways,
messy ponytail swinging around wildly as they said, “ What can I do for you my
green eyed flower?” Levi looked between the two people like they were mad, but
Eren just smiled and shook his head, he quite enjoyed Hanji’s nicknames. Levi
shifted from the bed and left the room, throwing a meaningful glance at Hanji.
The crazed scientist just cackled before turning their full attention to Eren.
He looked like absolute shit and this concerned them.
“You alright Titan baby?” Hanji enquired, cocking her head similar to a dog.
This made Eren chuckle as he told them about Jean’s comment in the shower.
Hanji passed it off as Jean just teasing but to be sure they asked Eren to
remove his shirt so Hanji could see this supposed weight gain. She instantly
saw that Jean’s comment was genuine and not just teasing. What surprised Hanji
more was how much the young boys’ stomach had swollen. His usually toned
stomach was protruding at least 2 inches from his body. Concerned about his
well being, the scientist and requested that he lie down on the bed that Levi
had sat next to.
“Have you eaten anything unusual recently? Feeling nauseous or light headed?”
Hanji bombarded the titan shifter with questions regarding his recent health.
By the end of the interrogation session Hanji looked so confused that Eren was
beginning to fear what was happening as they usually had a valid reason to the
abnormalities he faced but this time Hanji just kept muttering under their
breath about it being impossible or something. Eren sat up and prodded Hanji in
the arm. They looked up and something in the usually bold scientist’s
spectacled eyes immediately put Eren on edge, his long fingers clenching the
side of the bed. That was when Hanji’s questions changed.
“When was the last time you had sexual contact? And who with?” They asked
slowly. Eren looked at at Hanji like they had lost their mind. Her large eyes
remained serious though a glint had appeared in them, making Eren’s jaw work in
agitation.
“At least a month ago. And with…” Eren’s voice trailed off, his teeth resuming
the grinding though for a different reason. He didn't want to be reminded of
that traitor. He didn't want to admit to being involved with that oversized
blond ape. Hanji knew who he was talking about and left it at that
understanding that it was still a sensitive topic for him. But then they said
something that baffled Eren, a knowing look showing in the scientist’s eyes as
they widened in realisation.
“The hickey on your shoulder says otherwise. Who did you sleep with last
night?” Eren looked genuinely confused by Hanjis comment and he couldn't
remember having any sexual contact. His mind searched through his actions that
he had taken yesterday and as his thoughts brought him back to his dream, his
mouth dropped open as he reached the conclusion, that it might not have been a
dream. As Eren choked on air, his face flooding with red once again, his head
shook his head as it dropped into his hands.
“Was it Levi?” Hanji asked. Eren spluttered and began to choke again, giving
Hanji the conformation that was needed. They requested that Eren lay down on
the bed again and this time Hanji went into the cupboard. That terrified Eren
because he knew what was it that cupboard. He waited for Hanji to bring out her
‘utensils’ as she liked to call them. He was surprised when Hanji brought out a
machine and some gel. He had never seen that before. When he put the gel on his
stomach he flinched at how cold it was. Almost as cold as Levi’s gaze the
shifter mused, his cheeks developing a pink tinge as he realised where his mind
had taken him. Hanji winked at Eren, knowing what he was thinking and
apologised, turning the weird looking machine on. What surprised him more was
that it ran on some odd form of power and produced and image on a screen. Eren
was too fascinated by the machine to notice Hanji getting an odd prodder thing.
They placed the prodder thing on Eren’s protruding stomach and moved it around,
sometimes hovering over one particular spot. Eren was about to ask them what
they were doing but he closed his mouth when Hanji silenced him with a finger,
their eyes focusing intently on the screen. It had been a very long time since
they had used this machine. In fact, she had only used it once since the person
never made it through and passed away. Eren decided to focus his eyes on the
screen as well and they both saw something flash on the screen. Hanji moved the
prodder again and the blob on the screen appeared again. The scientist froze
with so many emotions; so scared for the young boy that they had developed a
strong bond with,happy, anxious, expectant. Eren looked at Hanji and saw the
many thoughts and feelings that shown clearly on their stunned face, tears
running down their cheeks. He was scared.
“Hanji! What is it? Why are you crying?” Eren exclaimed, worried for himself
and this crazed doctor he had come to know and love. They had been there for
him through so much and was the only person he could confide with to talk about
his issues and his ‘sad’ thoughts without being judged or pressured. They were
the one he went to for hugs and to see them cry with such passion in front of
him concerned him and scared him so much. To see them smile with such emotion
like they are now promised love and light and joy. Hanji turned to him and
laughed a soft laugh that made him question why he was ever sad. It was a new
sound to him as their usual laughs were more hysterical.
“It's a baby Eren”, was all that was said before they broke down completely due
to all the emotions and hugged the younger boy who was still trying to process
this new information, his face frozen in shock.

Chapter Summary
     As Eren comes to terms with what's happening, Hanji remembers
     something that was forgotten in the midst of everything that had
     happened which may lighten the mood.
Chapter Notes
     Wow. 3 chapters in one day. At 1 in the morning. Anyway this one is
     more feels cause everyone loves feels in one way or another.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
After what seemed like hours of Hanji sobbing over Eren, the news suddenly sank
in causing his mouth to snap shut, jaw clicking in the process. He abruptly
pushed Hanji off his lap and began to pace back and forth furiously, his hands
jerking violently which snapped Hanji out of their dazed reverie. Green eyes
met brown as he asked in a bewildered voice, “How? Aren’t I a male? I thought
males couldn’t get pregnant?!?” As more questions were asked, Eren’s voice got
higher and higher until it cracked, causing Hanji to stand up immediately and
wrap their arms around Eren in a warm hug, sensing that he was about to break
down and whispering comforting words into his ear.
When they knew Eren had calmed down they spoke, their voice filled with
concern, but also excitement. “It’s just a theory, but I think that because of
your titan shifting abilities, your body’s anatomy is altered in a way that
causes you to be able to have children”, she explained, tapping her chin before
carrying on. “And that your accelerated healing powers caused your baby to grow
at an abnormal rate, which explains the bump that developed over night”. The
scientist guided Eren back towards the bed and sat him down, patting his head
simultaneously. “How are you feeling?” she asked, eyes searching his for her
unanswered questions.
“I don’t know”, he answered whilst his face pulled into a heavy frown. He had
came to Hanji’s lab to have his questions answered and now had even more
questions than before! Eren sighed in irritation at this, wondering how Levi
would act if he knew this had happened. He didn’t intend for him to discover
that he was carrying his child and shuddered in terror at the thought of him
finding out. He still couldn’t believe that he had sex with Levi, his blank
faced, short, pissed off and good looking captain. Eren sighed again as he
realised he had stopped talking and was now facing his insane doctor who looked
at him with a huge grin displayed on their face. At least he had someone to
help him through this. Then another thought crossed his mind. How the fuck was
he gonna tell Mikasa and Armin? Would they accept this or would they push him
away for being a freak?
As if Hanji could read his mind, her grin got larger until she resembled
something similar to the proportions of an actual titan. “I’m very sure that
Mikasa and Armin will support you through this, though you’re going to have to
explain how Levi got you pregnant in the first place”, she said whilst cackling
maniacally.
Eren shook his head quickly, rolling his eyes at the same time at the thought
of Mikasa being overprotective. “I have no intention of actually telling her
who the father is, though Armin might manage to wrestle that out of me. He is a
devious little shit after all.” Eren laughed and shook his head again, but this
time at the fact that no one but him and Mikasa knew how Armin really was. He
really could be called a genius, though he didn’t really give himself enough
credit. He would be very scary when he wanted to be and if you managed to piss
the blond mushroom off, he could end your life without ever being caught.
That's when Hanji remembered something. The crazed scientist started to bounce
on the spot and clap their hands together in obvious glee, it made Eren's smile
turn slightly bittersweet as the act reminded him of the performing monkeys he
saw when he was younger. He couldn't remember the last time he was taken to see
them and suddenly had the urge to do so. “Remember there’s the party tonight to
celebrate the success of our last mission!” The eccentric individual explained.
Of course Eren forgot. How could he remember after everything that had been
going on?
At first, Eren was wary since he knew parties generally led to very
embarrassing moments which he usually regretted the morning after which was
also when he usually had a splitting headache. He was also still contemplating
when and how to tell his two best friends and had no time for a party. Eren
sighed and hoped they wouldn’t react too badly. In the very short amount of
time he spent with Hanji, he had almost accepted the idea of being pregnant.
Almost. The fact that he was pregnant, and a male no less, and the father was
Levi, humanities’ fucking strongest, didn't quite make sense to him yet- which
implied that nothing was making sense to him at that moment, even though the
shifter was trying his hardest to wrangle some logic out of this.
Eventually, Eren decided that the party would be a good idea as it would take
his mind off his current situation. He said a quick bye to Hanji and after
asking his loud mouthed friend to keep this a secret, he then swiftly left the
lab and made his way to his room in order to make himself more presentable,
completely missing the devious look that had appeared on their face.
Whilst Eren was topless from changing his clothes, he looked into the mirror
that leaned against the wall next to his bed. From the side, he could clearly
see there was a bump, however the origins of this small bump was known by only
him and Hanji. Smiling optimistically, he placed his hands on his swollen
abdomen imagining the face of the life that was currently growing inside of him
and thought that this situation may not have been as bad as he previously
thought.
Eren vowed from then on, that he would make sure the baby had the best possible
care available and a brilliant life. He pondered whether it's ears would turn
red when it would lie, like his own did or if they would be strong willed and
determined. He knew that he would love this child with all his heart,
regardless of where it came from and also that he didn't need Levi to get
through this. He pulled a baggy top over his head with new determination and
watched it drop down his body to cover the bump. Fortunately, it was barely
noticeable and would only be seen if people looked closely. He sighed in
contemplation as he realised he wouldn't have long until people could easily
detect the baby bump.

Chapter Summary
     Eren expected many was for this to happen. However he didn't expect
     it to be the worst way imaginable.
Chapter Notes
     I think the story getting somewhere. I think.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Hanji sat on the side, a cup of beer in their clenched hand not knowing whether
or not Eren was coming. The clearly drunk scientist staggered to their feet
with the intention of finding Levi, desperately needing to talk to him about
what he had done. How could he do that to such a sweet, troubled young boy?
Hanji loved Levi dearly but this didn't change the fact that what he did was
unacceptable. He can’t just fuck a minor then leave and act as if nothing had
happened!Stupid fucking midget, Hanji thought as they swayed wildly on the spot
looking around the crowded room.
That's when Eren shuffled through the door, hoping not to be seen by anyone,
especially his captain who would no doubt rip him to shreds if he saw Eren.
Unfortunately for the younger boy, staying undetected wasn't going to happen,
thanks to Hanji, who, when they spotted him across the room, alerted everyone
of Eren's presence by hollering his name whilst dancing violently, also hitting
a few other people in the process. Eren sighed in exasperation and continued to
slink across the room to the loud mouthed nutter who had started to stagger
across to him. The scientist quickly engulfed Eren in a surprisingly gentle hug
and began rocking side to side almost in a slow dancing manner. Eren could
clearly smell the alcohol on their breath and supposed that Hanji was one of
those people whose attitudes changed a lot when they were drunk, but he didn't
mind. He rested his hands on his stomach almost instinctually and rested his
head on their shoulder.
“My poor baby Titan”, was all they said before they started to rub his back and
hum a surprisingly soothing tune for a drunk person. Eren relaxed, this
reminded him of how his mum would comfort him when he was sad and for once his
heart didn't clench at the memory; it made him feel warm inside, which was
similar to how he used to feel with his mother. Eren realised that Hanji could
be a very tender individual when they wanted to be and was thankful that he
experienced this side of the usually eccentric person. Eren pulled away from
the warm embrace to look at the person who had taken him in and cared for him.
Hanji leaned forward and placed a kiss on his warm forehead. When Eren looked
back up he saw a maniacal grinning spreading across her face, eyes staring at
something across the room. He followed her gaze and quickly realised what had
made her so happy. They had brought in more alcohol. Of course. Once again,
Eren sighed and brought his hands up to massage his temples, but was
interrupted by Hanji who promptly dragged him across the room and a
ridiculously fast speed.
Eren rolled his eyes as Hanji downed two more beers in succession, cackling
madly as she did. Needing another distraction, he reached for a cup that was
held in Hanji’s hand, but was hastily pushed away by Hanji as she said loudly,
“No, it might affect the baby”. Eren’s eyes widened as leapt on to the drunk
scientist, covering their mouth in the process.
“Hanji! Be quiet!”, he hissed, looking around sharply to check if anyone heard.
He sagged in relief when he saw no one was looking at them and nimbly climbed
back down to the floor, shooting the boisterous drunk a look that half
resembled a drowning cat.
As they opened their mouth to answer Eren’s statement, a loud voice boomed
through the room, silencing everyone straight away except for the genius who
was still cackling at his expression. “Everyone, gather around the table! It’s
time to have the meal to celebrate our recent success on the scouting mission
outside the wall!” Erwin said, his smile reflecting the thoughts of the people
clustered around the room. At his exclamation, roars of success were heard as
people started to migrate towards the table that was currently placed in the
middle of the room. Already sat next to Erwin was Levi, sipping from a cup of
tea whilst eyeing Hanji with his blank expression. As Eren and Hanji neared the
table, the younger boy averted his gaze from his captain and moved to sit next
to his friends, though he never got a chance to do so as Hanji pulled him down
next to Levi, giggling uncontrollably and receiving an annoyed look from the
stoic captain.
“Oi, four eyes, shut up. You’re giving me a headache”, he said shortly, taking
another sip of tea and glaring at the scientist over the rim of his cup.
Giving the short tempered man a reprimanding look, Erwin said mildly, “Now now,
Levi. She’s just happy, lighten up a won’t you?”, drinking from his mug whilst
waiting for people to settle down.
Levi’s gaze switched to the blond man, his glare darkening as he heard those
words. “Fuck you eyebrows”, he said, his indifferent tone contrasting greatly
against his expression. As his eyes flickered sideways for a split second, he
noticed the titan shifter’s flushed face and wondered if he was ok. “Brat, are
you ill or something? You look like a fucking tomato”, he announced, eyes now
staring into Eren’s green ones. As Eren started to splutter, he met Levi’s gaze
as his face turned into a darker shade of red.
“I-I’m fine”, he muttered, breaking his gaze by looking down to the table
wishing his seat would swallow him up. He sighed as his sight drifted back up
to land on his captain’s lips and remembered how soft they were when they
kissed.
“Brat, are you going to stop ogling me now?” Levi questioned, eyes narrowing as
he realised exactly what the boy was looking at. Eren’s face jerked away,
muttering an apology as he turned to talk to Hanji who was scrutinising them
both with a mischievous smile painted on their face. The raven haired man
turned his head away from them, muttering incomprehensible words and drank from
his cup again, staring daggers at the blonde who was now frowning at him.
As he opened his mouth to insult his general, he was stopped as Erwin clapped
his hands and stood up, making eye contact with some people around the table.
Just when he was about to speak, Hanji climbed up on the table ignoring the
confused look on Eren’s face. Levi shot the scientist a withering stare,
worrying about the table that they currently stood on. “Four eyes, what do you
think you’re doing?! Get off the table!” he barked. “You’re making the table
dirty you dipshit” he added, staring icily at the feet that currently stood on
the table.
Hanji waved their hands at the angry man, oblivious to the fact that they were
going to get thrown off the table in a few minutes. “I have an announcement
guys!” They cried, swaying dangerously on the spot. As they suddenly turned
around, their hand whipped out and hit Levi squarely on the face, still
oblivious to how angry they were making him. As Levi’s face darkened even more,
the temperature of the room dropping several degrees, he stood up with the
intention of pulling Hanji off the table and battering them until they saw no
tomorrow. His hand reached out, though the scientist still carried on,
cheerfully looking around the room.
“EREN’S PREGNANT GUYS!” they shouted, throwing their hands up in the air and
whooping as the room turned silent. Levi’s hand made contact with their jacket
and pulled the drunk off the table, eyes flashing furiously. As his other hand
was about to make contact with their face, Eren stood up, tears glinting in his
eyes. Grey eyes met green as Levi froze, a look of shock painted on his face,
which melted away into realisation as the shifter ran from the room with a look
of distress on his face. Levi’s hands released the now passed out scientist on
to the floor, his mind racing with new questions.What? How? Levi turned
abruptly and hurriedly left the room, missing the the calculating look that
Erwin was currently giving him, as well as the bewildered expressions on
everyone else’s face.

Chapter Summary
     After what happened at the party Eren needed to leave. He regrets it
     and now he thinks it can't possibly get worse.
Chapter Notes
     Lots of sad feels now. We are so sorry. I this has some pretty dark
     thoughts in as well. Possible TRIGGER WARNING. Since there are some
     upsetting thoughts.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Run. That was all Eren could think as soon as his eyes met Levi's. Looking back
on the events that had unfolded, maybe he should have stayed and played it off
as Hanji’s drunken insanity. That would’ve been by far the most logical thing
he could have done, but no, he ran away like a coward who was too scared to
face reality.
Eren slowed down and slid down the wall, wondering where his previous
determination had gone. Crying and running had taken a lot out of him which
explained why he couldn't really breathe and even though he knew that wasn't
true, it was what he kept telling himself to try to calm down. From the feeling
of his chest tightening, the unnatural shortness of breath, he knew he was
slipping into something Hanji called the ‘scary place’. The place where he hid
all of his issues and fears, where he slowly deteriorated into a state of
nothingness followed by the panic that usually suffocated him until he passed
out. As the sinking feeling in his chest intensified, Eren felt like nothing
was going to save him, the weight of his worries pressing down harder and
harder until his vision started to blacken. He didn't have normal fears like
the rest of his friends and dreamt that he was killing his family, his friends,
everyone that mattered to him in life. He was the monster that destroyed
everything, leaving nothing but despair in his trail.
Eren pressed the palm of his hand to his face, curling up into a small ball
facing the wall. He didn't want to cry, didn't want to let himself feel
anymore, he’d just get hurt more. But then, he sank deeper again, shaking from
the effort he exerted to keep himself from crying, maybe he deserved to get
hurt, he let his mother die after all. How could you let your own mother die?
You don't deserve to live- Was he crying? Eren’s hands left his face, trembling
and wet from his tears. As he stared for longer and longer, he started shaking
even more, hating himself more and more. You can't even stop yourself from
crying. You’re so useless, maybe if you could actually do something she
wouldn't be- Eren felt a hand brush his shoulder, the notion suddenly made the
boy crack, his tightly wound nerves spiralling out violently, lashing out at
the thing that was nearest to him. “DON’T TOUCH ME”, Eren screamed, tears now
falling freely on his already moist face. Rocking back and forth, he looked up
into eyes that almost seemed silver.
Instead of saying anything, his raven haired captain pulled him into a
comforting embrace, cradling the unstable boy whilst whispering words of
comfort into his ear. “It’s ok”, he murmured, rocking Eren back and forth as
the boy stared at him with wide eyes. “Let go, I’m here”, he murmured, hugging
the boy tighter. At these words, Eren’s head fell on to Levi’s shoulder as all
his emotions washed over him, accompanying the tears that had resumed trickling
down his cheeks. They stayed like that until his vision faded away to darkness.
After some time, Levi noticed that Eren had fallen asleep, an oddly calm
expression on his face that opposed how he was acting a few minutes before.
Studying Eren’s tear stained face, he brushed some hair out of the boy’s face
sighing at himself. “I’m sorry”, he muttered, adjusting the boy in his arms
before standing up and walking towards Eren’s room. As he strode away, Eren
snuggled closer into Levi’s chest, causing him to start slightly in surprise,
and then hold the boy closer. During the journey to Eren’s room, his mind
wandered, taking him to unexpected places. Why am I doing this? Because you
care for him. Why do I care so much? Why am I going into this much trouble for
a brat? As he reached Eren’s door, Levi sighed once more, opened the door and
swiftly entered the room, closing the door quietly behind him. What he missed
once more, were icy, blue eyes that observed them both from the shadows.
Laying the sleeping boy on his bed, he noticed Eren’s jacket that had came off
slightly and now hung off his body at an angle that looked extremely awkward
and uncomfortable. Levi stared at the jacket in irritation, his fingers itching
to take the jacket off yet wanting to distance himself from the brunnette.
Finally, the urge became too strong when he spotted a smudge of dirt, making
Levi reach over the bed to take the jacket from the boy. As he gently eased it
off, he let out a sigh of relief and simultaneously draped the clothing over a
chair nearby. Realising that he had, yet again, done something he would have
never done for any other person, his fists balled in irritation at his sides as
he glared at the sleeping boy. He sat down on the edge of the bed, looking off
into the window contemplating everything that had happened recently and as all
his actions caught up to him, he quietly growled in frustration and threw his
head into his hands. What have I done?He thought, his teeth clenched, mostly in
anger but there was something else. What am I missing? He wondered and lifted
his head to face Eren, hating himself for causing the boy this much pain. As he
sat there thinking, the lack of sleep from recent missions caught up to him all
of a sudden, making his eyelids feel heavy. He struggled to keep them open,
gazing at the peaceful boy when at last, his eyes closed fully, Levi falling
into a restful slumber.
Eren jerked awake and sat straight up wondering what had woken him up when he
heard a loud crash coming from the foot of his bed followed by a stream of
cursing that caused Eren’s eyes to widen as he recognised the voice. As he bent
over the bed to make sure his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him, Levi stood up
frantically dusting off his trousers, a steady stream of profanities still
coming out of his mouth. This caused Eren’s ears to turn bright red as he gaped
at his captain, speculating why Levi Ackerman was in his room. “C-Captain?” he
stuttered, face turning into all kinds of red as he continued to ogle the
pissed off man. Levi completely ignored the shifter as he continued to flail,
convinced he had been contaminated as he knew his cleaning standards were much
higher. Levi's furious aura didn't put Eren off. He needed to talk to the
captain, even though the thought of if made him want to wither away and die in
a pile of horse crap. Yes, his mind would rather he do that than go talk to his
superior, though in his defence, he thought, he really was terrifying all the
time and seemed to be pissed off at everything. He really was a coward. Eren
was about to try to talk to the captain again, when Levi finally noticed him.
“Who in their right fucking mind allows their superior to sleep on the shitty
floor?!”, was all Levi said and glared venomously at Eren before he decided
that there was no way he was going to be clean by just rubbing his uniform
down. God know how long he had been on the floor and in that time, the germs
would have made baby germs and would be contaminating him more. Levi turned
around to head to his personal shower when he heard Eren make a strangled noise
behind him. He turned to see Eren, who was trying to talk and hold back his
tears.
“Please, please talk,” was all Eren could choke out before he physically
couldn't hold back the sobs anymore. His body shook violently as he lied down
on his side and curled up, trying to hide his face from the captain, hating
that he was so weak. Something about Eren’s distressed tone made Levi sigh and
turn around, crossing his arms around his chest. Why was he doing this for the
brat? He was filthy, but still postponing his shower? Levi came to the
conclusion that it was the baby and subconsciously nodded to himself. That
child was part of him, therefore he should take some form of responsibility for
it, even if it means acknowledging the snivelling brat in front of him.
“I will help you”, were the first things that Levi said. Eren almost felt
himself smile, but what his superior said next destroyed any chances of that
happening, possibly ever happening again. “But you can't tell anyone I’m the
father. I'm only here for the baby which unfortunately means I have to put up
with you. Do you understand?” Eren just laid there unable to speak. He was
nothing, quietly fuming at the fact that his captain, who had gone and slept
with him, for no reason, and got him pregnant didn't care about him. Of course
he didn't care about him. He was a freak of nature. Eren just nodded, eyes
downcast, and with that single action Levi left, slamming the door viciously
behind him.

Chapter Notes
     Ummmmm... We may have disappeared. In all fairness school has started
     again and chapter 82. Enough said.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Eren got out of bed, muttering profanities about his captain and glaring at his
closed door. Desperately needing a shower, he headed out of his room, throwing
a towel over his shoulder and strode into the showers not caring if anyone was
there. As he stood under the steady stream of water, he heard the door open. At
first, he didn’t take notice but once he realised who it was his mood quickly
sank. Of course it was fucking horseface. Eren quickly reconsidered this and
saw it as a good thing. This way he can punch out his anger at someone almost
as annoying as Levi. As Jean instantly saw Eren glaring at him, he sighed in
response, not in the mood for a fight. As long as Eren didn't start something
everything would be fi-
“Hey, horseface! I would ask Marco if he was into beastiality since you two are
fucking, but it’s pretty obvious that-” was all Eren could say before Jean’s
fist connected with his cheek. Good, that's what Eren wanted, although that was
a low blow, even for him. Eren’s leg shot out to the side, intercepting the
other boy and making him fall to the floor. Hearing his knees smack loudly
against the hard tiles caused Eren to cringe slightly, before his usual
demeanour returned in full force.
“What’s wrong, shithead? Does little Jean-bo’s knees hurt after-”. Eren was cut
off again as Jean surged to his feet and tackled the titan shifter to the
ground, growling through gritted teeth.
“For your information fuckface, it’s ‘do’ and I want you to know,” he sneered
as he lowered his face closer to Eren’s head, “don’t ever talk shit about Marco
again or you’ll have worse than a broken nose to deal with afterwards.” Jean
drew back and threw a punch at Eren’s face, a sickening crack heard underneath
his clenched fist.
“Enough”. A cold voice was heard behind the two boys, disgust clear in his
voice. Levi looked at the scene in front of him. Two of his soldiers were naked
in the shower fighting and the taller one had a slight hard on. Barely
noticeable actually. Pervert was all Levi thought as he yanked the two boys
away from each other and dropped them, not caring if they fell or not.
“Kirschtein, get out of my sight. I’ll deal with you later”, he said, his blank
tone causing the one with the two-toned hair to blanch and run out the room,
shooting Eren a half sympathetic look.
When Eren and Levi were the only two left in the room, the younger boy realised
something. That he was naked with Levi Ackerman in the same room and was also
coincidentally carrying his child right at this moment. ‘What a predicament’,
he thought as he blushed slightly, though this action made him bristle in
indignation towards his captain. How dare he treat me like shit after
everything he put me through?? I can’t believe- actually I can believe that
he’s a selfish-
“Are you going to just stand there gawking at me all day?” Levi drawled,
leaning back on the door frame rolling his eyes. “In case you forgot, fighting
unsupervised is against the rules”, he shortly, eyes narrowing into slits
before he said impassively, “Just because I said I would help you, doesn’t mean
I’m going to let you flaunt the rules. And you shouldn’t be picking fights.
Luckily, horseface over there didn’t touch your stomach or I would’ve-”
He was cut off as the shifter’s face turned bright red, though not in
embarrassment. This time it was because he was angry. “Oh yeh, you call this
help?” His fists clenched slightly as his mouth opened in a sharp laugh. “Sure,
you’re really helping me through this situation here, I mean, you’ve been so
supportive over the past few days. I suppose it’s reasonable huh?” The
shifter’s eyes now mirrored how Levi’s were a few moments before, though now,
his captain’s eyes had widened slightly. His voice dropped, a dangerous edge to
it as he snapped out, “ After you got me pregnant and completely IGNORED how I
was feeling JUST because YOU wanted to uphold your PERFECT FUCKING REPUTATION.
HOW’S THIS FOR PICKING A FIGHT?!” His voice had been rising slightly and he was
now shouting, nearly hysterical as his hands shook.
“You’re right”, said Levi. His hands clenched and unclenched several times
until he finally verbalised the two words that had been on his mind. “I’m
sorry”, he uttered as his voice wavered slightly on the latter. “I didn’t mean-
”, he stopped himself, trying to find the right words before he fucked up
entirely. Too late.
“You_didn’t_mean_what?_You_didn’t_mean_to_break_my_heart_over_and_over_again
because_you_felt_like_it?_Is_that_what_you’re_trying_to_say?” Eren felt like
crying, but when the tears never came he realised that he had no more tears to
cry. He shook his head numbly as he walked out the room and as he passed Levi,
he saw his captain trying to reach out once more. A burst of anger returned as
he turned and on a spur of the moment, kicked him in the leg with everything he
had, delivering all his anger and frustration into the blow. After seeing his
captain’s stricken face, all emotions left him again as the feeling of despair
returned and Eren left the room to go find Hanji, though something occurred to
him. It hit him like a pile of bricks as he recalled that he had insulted Marco
during his fight with Jean and intended to make it up to him, though ideally,
he would do the confrontation clothed and not as he was now. Considering he was
naked.
Levi was shocked, he had never been treated like that by a soldier before. Yes,
he got picked on behind his back and to his face but NEVER had anyone struck
him, though for some reason he felt like he was the one in the wrong. Levi’s
jaw clicked in irritation as he walked out the room to look for the person he
could confide in and ask for advice.
The second to last person Eren wanted to see as he was on his way to the dinner
hall was Jean who stopped to glare at him as if he was poison. (The last was
Levi of course). Until he saw Jean’s glare melt when he saw Eren was naked and
threw a look of concern in Eren’s direction as he absentmindedly touched his
nose. However, he didn't get a chance to comment as Eren rushed on, wanting to
ease his guilt.
“I’m sorry about what I said, I've been feeling so frustrated recently and-”.
He stopped himself, feeling like it sounded as though he was trying to make
excuses for what he did. His cheeks coloured as he tried to find the right
words whilst the shocked soldier gaped back at him. “It was inexcusable when I
brought Marco into the fight so I wanted to apologize to him, but also to you.”
Eren’s voice faded away until the two boys were staring at each other, Eren
trying to find more things to say. The tension broke as Jean’s rambunctious
laughter rang through the corridor, making Eren’s eyes widen in confusion. “You
don't need to apologise, I already got over that”, he said, still chuckling but
as his laughter dissolved, the atmosphere, although lighter, returned to its
previous state: serious and sombre. “I did break your nose after all”, he said
as he scrutinised the titan shifters nose with a critical glare. “Though it
looks like you’ve forgotten about it”, he added, muttering under his breath and
rolling his eyes since his nose had almost completely healed already. Eren
remained quiet under Jean’s scrutiny, even though he was slightly uncomfortable
with it. “I know you’re sorry and I’m sure that you’ve been feeling weird from
being pregnant and everything.” He smirked at Eren’s confused expression. “Yes
I wasn’t drunk that night and I believe Hanji, even if they were smashed”. A
smile appeared on Jean’s face as he chuckled at the memory. A look of horror
crossed Eren’s face as he began to panic. Jean quickly saw that maybe that it
wasn't the right time to bring this up. He didn't like seeing Eren upset. He
didn't know why so he decided to try and make him happy again.
After he got him some clothes.
Once Eren was fully clothed he asked if Jean could go slightly ahead of him as
he walked to Hanjis incase Levi was there. He explained to Jean what had
happened, and he didn't know why, but Jean seemed like he really wanted to help
and it made Eren feel happy. Someone who genuinely cared for Eren’s well being
purely because they wanted to. He would say Hanji, but that person is crazy and
he had learnt not to make assumptions about them. Jean reluctantly agreed to
help, even when Levi was out for his ass as well but fuck it, he would help
Eren regardless of what was going to happen.

     Oh god. We died. That's the only excuse we have. We died but now we
     have come back to life. Jubilations!!! (Also we'll probably die
     again, just a warning.)
See the end of the chapter for more notes
“EREN!!!!” Hanji screeched as they saw the boys walking down the corridor
laughing. Hanji hadn't spoken to Eren since they told everyone about Eren being
pregnant. They felt like shit and hoped that they hasn't hurt him too badly.
Eren looked in the direction of the screeching and saw Hanji barrelling towards
them looking, looking emotionally drained. It made Eren upset seeing them look
like this as he wasn't angry at Hanji, he was actually angry at himself for
going to the party when he’d known it was a bad idea. That's when Hanji crashed
into him with so much force, both of them toppled over, crushing Jean in the
process making him curse and groan as he rubbed his now aching arm. Hanji
ignored Jean and proceeded to murmur repeatedly that she was sorry as she
latched onto Eren, hugging the boy tightly. Jean was underneath them both,
struggling to breath as he rolled his eyes in exasperation.
“Umm, Eren? I’d really love it if you’d GET OFF ME SO I CAN BREATHE!”, he
yelled panting slightly, trying to push the two people off his body.
“Shut up horseface, be patient”, Eren sighed as he hugged Hanji back. “Hanji?
Are you okay?” he asked, face creasing in concern for the usually overjoyed
scientist. As Eren spoke, he felt the genius stiffen in response and they got
off the floor whilst shooting Jean a look that was vaguely apologetic.
“Eren, I’m so sorry for what I did at the party”, they said, biting their lip
before they continued. “I wasn’t thinking that night and I hope you can forgive
me for blurting it out when you trusted me to keep it a secret”. Their usually
laughing eyes glistened with regret as their hands twisted together in
agitation.
“It’s ok Hanji, it's in the past and it would have come out anyways” Eren said,
patting them comfortingly on the shoulder.
Before Hanji could reply, Jean punched the other boy’s shoulder and said in
exasperation, “Well you got what you wanted, I’m gonna go now.”, making Hanji’s
eyes squint in confusion as they turned their head, ponytail swinging wildly.
“What are you talking about?” They said as they put their hands on their waist,
frowning at him in confusion.
“Eren wanted to talk to you, a lot has happened”, Jean answered, glancing
sideways at the brunette, “and now that we found you, I’m gonna go do something
else and leave-”
He didn't get to finish because Hanji interrupted him. “You are staying with us
while we have this talk”, they said, eyes sparkling once again. They then
narrowed their eyes and glared at Jean as they uttered slowly, “unless you’re
going to object to that?”
Jean’s hands rose from his sides as he blinked slowly in response. “Chill, I’ll
stay,” he said and glanced sideways at Eren. “Unless you don't want me to”, he
spoke, a silent challenge heard in his voice.
Eren rolled his eyes in response and punched Jean on the shoulder, chuckling
when he saw him wince. “I’ll let you tag along, horseface, for the moment”, he
said and strode past the two-toned haired boy to take Hanji’s arm and promptly
dragged them into the nearby lab, suddenly anxious to share everything that had
happened earlier that day. As they entered the room, Jean gaped at the
makeshift table that was set up in the middle of the room. Piled on top, was
the most food Eren had ever seen in his life. Explains them wanting Horseface
to tag along Eren thought smiling at the sight of Jean drooling.
Hanji clapped their hands happily and pulled the two boys to the table and then
pushing them down on chairs. “So I gather, this is about another argument”,
they said, careful not to say Levi’s name, not sure if Jean already knew.
Eren nodded in confirmation and sighed, reaching forward to grab a cake,
meanwhile, Jean was already on his 4th one, happily stuffing his face. “I
kicked him”, he said, cringing at the thought of what Levi might do next.
He was not surprised when Hanji started cackling in delight, eyes flashing in
amusement. “HAHAHAHA you KICKED him!!” The scientist gasped for breath,
slapping their leg a couple of times as they composed themselves. "Well he must
have deserved it, what did he do?” they asked, tilting their head up in
thought.
“He said he was helping me and I snapped”, Eren said, scowling at the
diminishing pile of food next to him. The Titan shifter shook his head and
carried on. “He looked so hurt, he makes me so confused”, he said, kicking the
nearest thing savagely, which was Jean’s leg.
“Oi, don't take your anger out on me”, he said, returning the kick to Eren.
Eren rolled his eyes and kicked back, slightly harder, favouring their usual
banter over talking.
They didn't get to continue because both boys received a slap to the face from
the crazy scientist who was shaking their head at them disapprovingly. “Stop
fighting, you're going to attract Levi as he seems to be able to sense it when
you two are fighting.”  
This caused both boys to freeze immediately and look back to the door. Hanji,
on the other hand, had started cackling madly again, the boys’ terror amusing
them. As if Hanji’s laugh had suddenly lifted the tension in the room, Eren
joined in, their laughter filling the lab. “I guess he did get me pregnant so
he may give me some slack,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. “Then again, he
already caught me and Horseface fighting this morning, which is what brought on
me slapping him,” he added, glancing sideways at the taller boy. His mood
became sombre as he realised he had just told Jean who had got him pregnant.
“You.. And Captain Levi?” was all Jean said, his face a picture of perfect
shock. His lack of speech caused worry to bloom in Eren’s chest, the emotion
appearing clearly on his face. His mouth opened in an effort to speak, though
no words were coming out.
Jean, seeing his panic, tried to ease it with a grin. “Do you get any benefits
with him being the captain?”
Hanji’s eyes flashed wickedly as they said, “Of course, all sorts of benefits”,
whilst winking at the Titan shifter.
Eren shot the two a grateful look, whilst turning a few shades redder at the
implications.
Laughter filled the room once again, and a few seconds later Eren joined
in. “So you're fine with it?” he said, a few moments later.
“Well you can't change the past so I’m gonna have to be ok with it, though I
will never look at him the same way now”, Jean replied, punching his arm and
dodging Eren’s retaliation. However, this caused Jean to jump into the table
that currently still held a small mountain of food.
Hanji watched as the table toppled over and as the two boys ran to grab the
falling food. Too late. A loud crash sounded as the table fell, bringing all
the food with it, on to the floor.
Shit. Was all the two were thinking as they looked to the genius who was now
glaring furiously at them. Taking a step back, Eren glanced nervously at Jean
who looked back and nodded. I run this way, you run that way. 3..2..1.. Jean
and Eren dashed away from each other, pure terror driving them towards the 2
exits.
“ERENNN, JEANNN!”, was all Hanji said, well screamed, as Eren opened the lab
door…. And promptly crashed into something. No. Someone.
The person was smaller than him and solid. Eren gulped and and froze. Fuck. He
didn't know what was worse, the crazed scientist or the- never mind, he knew
that the person in front of him was worse. Much worse. This realisation
influenced his next actions, which involved him sprinting towards the scientist
and away from the marble man behind him. Or at least he tried. Next thing he
knew, his legs were kicked out from beneath him and he braced his body for the
pain from hitting the floor as his body approached the ground. But that didn't
happen. He felt strong arms wrap around his body before he was swiftly taken
away. Fuck.
Meanwhile, Hanji had caught up with Jean and was now glaring at him. They
hadn't said another word to the boy yet, though both looked up as the sound of
slow, but firm footsteps receded. Both caught a glimpse of the titan shifter,
whose body was being carried away by the brooding raven.

“Stop! Let go of me!” Eren struggled to escape from Levi’s embrace, kicking and
punching when he had the opportunity which drew the attention of some soldiers
who were standing in the hallway. Levi’s face was set with grim determination
as he grabbed Eren's flailing body and half dragged him into a nearby room and
disappeared from sight. This left Armin, who was one of the 2 soldiers in the
hallway, looking at the now closed door with an open mouth, wondering what the
hell had just happened.

“Errrmmm, should we be concerned?” he asked Marco, pointing to the room which
was now clearly emitting loud shouts.

Marco responded, tilting his head slightly in confusion. “I don’t even know, we
should probably be concerned for Eren, especially if Captain Levi is telling
him off”.

Armin nodded in agreement. Tugging his freckled friend’s arm, he said in a
nervous voice, “We should go, like right now. We’ll definitely talk to Eren
later and we don’t want to be caught eavesdropping”.

As they rounded the corner, Armin very nearly collided into a tall figure but
stopped just in time, causing Marco to crash into the blonde’s back. “C-
commander! We were just leaving…” He trailed off and looked up at Erwin
uncertainly. The two younger boys then looked back at the now silent room and
then at Erwin whose blue eyes were still cutting into them, showing no emotion.
Armin and Marco shifted uneasily, looking at each other and wondering why their
commander was being so quiet.

As the silence stretched on, Marco opened his mouth to speak, but was abruptly
stopped when Erwin said blandly, “You’re not in trouble, you can go now”. His
lack of speech and explanation seemed to startle the younger boys as they
blinked in bewilderment but hurriedly nodded and said a rushed ‘yessir’ as they
left.

Once Erwin was alone, his brows furrowed as he stared long and hard at the
closed wooden door. Quiet conversation could now be made out, though what was
now being said couldn’t be heard. Walking closer, he put a hand on the door and
leaned closer, eyes glimmering in the low light.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------

Levi half threw, half placed Eren down on his bed and stared down at the
brunette, wondering what the hell he was going to say. The titan shifter glared
at Levi, making eye contact trying to stare his captain down.

“Sorry”. Was all Levi said shortly. As soon as the word left his mouth Eren’s
expression became murderous as he snapped once again, causing Levi to start
cursing himself furiously. You’re so fucking awful at this. Shit Shit Shit fix
this now, idiot!

On the other hand, Eren had started shouting again, his green eyes glittering
in frustration. “YOU ARE SO FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. YOU DRAGGED ME ALL THE WAY HERE
TO SAY ONE SHITTY WORD?!?!”

Levi flinched, anger returning in a rush at the words. “I AM TRYING TO MAKE
THIS BETTER YOU KNOW, NOT ALL PEOPLE CAN SAY THE RIGHT WORDS AND I'M SO SORRY
I’M SHIT AT TALKING”. He took a step closer to Eren, fists clenched at his
sides in frustration. He was annoyed that he had fucked up. He was angry at
himself for getting the boy pregnant, but oddly, he didn’t regret having sex
with Eren at all. In fact, he was glad that Eren liked him in some twisted-
His train of thought was cut off when Eren stood up. As a result, the two now
stood quite close to each other, their noses almost touching. “WELL FOR ONE,
MAYBE YOU COULD-”

Levi cut him off, saying in a sharp voice, “Maybe you could stop shouting in my
ear because one, you’re giving me a headache, and two, I’m pretty sure people
outside can hear you”. He lowered his voice until Eren could barely hear it,
both of them giving each other heated glares.

As the two males scowled into each other's eyes, the tension rose, turning
their anger into something. Eren’s eyes darted to the floor then back at Levi
before he stepped back to sit on the bed. “Do you even know what you're sorry
for?” Eren asked quietly, his voice cracking. Confusion filled Levi's face. Did
he know why he was sorry? Yeah, he got the brat pregnant but it takes two to do
that. He doesn't regret doing it. He didn't want to lie and say sorry for
something he wasn't sorry for… but maybe… maybe there’s something else he needs
to apologise for?

“Eren, do you know how I feel about this? About you?” Levi inquired, staring at
Eren whose head turned towards him. His eyes darkening as soon as he heard
Levi's question. Eren hesitated before he relied venomously, “You made it
pretty clear the last time we spoke. You're only helping me because of the
baby!” Shit. Levi had forgotten about that.

“I didn't mean that, I didn't know what to say. Eren, you need to understand
that I don't let people in easily. Hell, I tend to push most people away. I
can't help it ok? My past isn't exactly a good one,” Levi explained, hoping he
had said the right thing. Eren looked at Levi, he didn't know how sincere them
words were, he didn't even say sorry. At that realisation something snapped
inside Eren. He let out a short, harsh laugh then smacked his fist down on the
bedside table. The resounding noise echoed around the large room.

“How dare you talk to me about a troubled past! How fucking DARE YOU!!! Do you
have any idea what I've been through?!? No. No you don't. But guess what? You
are about to get an insight as to why I such a god damn fuck up…” Levi was
about to interrupt but one look at Eren made him forget whatever he was going
to say and take a small step back. He wasn't one to show fear easily, but this
was a new side of Eren and it was terrifying. “Everyone thought my household
was a nice place, right? For the most part it was. My mum was amazing. She was
a beautiful, happy woman who loved her family to no end. Mikasa is my adopted
sister, but you probably knew that, well she was quiet but she is one of the
most important people in my life. She has been through a lot and the fact that
she came back from that still astounds me. But then there was my dad. Ha!
Everyone thought that he was such an amazing doctor and therefore an
 amazing person. It's true - he was an amazing doctor, the man truly worked
miracles. But what people don't know is how he learnt to work his so called
‘miracles’. That's what made him a very very shitty person and an awful father.
What people often fail to notice, is that he really began to succeed when he
had a child. Me. And those who did notice, well-” He let out another laugh, but
this time, it was choked, his hands twisting together in agitation. Levi’s eyes
widened slightly, he wanted to comfort Eren, but he didn’t want to make it
worse so he subtly inched closer to the distressed boy. “He just simply said it
was because I motivated him to be a better doctor so that he would always be
able to save me. I wish that was the case…” Eren trailed off, his crazed eyes
were glazed over with unshed tears as he lifted his head to gaze at the wall.
Levi didn't know what to do. This was his fault. Just as he was about to hug
the boy, Eren continued to speak.

“... Did you know human experimentation was illegal? I didn't. I didn’t know
until I was 12 and I started training for the military. It was quite a shock.
The experiments hurt. God they hurt like a bitch, but constantly being used as
a lab rat has it perks. I am immune to many many illnesses. All the ones my
father found cures for? They were all tested on me first. All of the test
drugs? Also used on me. My father hated me, because I didn't want to continue
the drug trials. And when I said no, guess what he did? Well he beat me.
Obviously. I mean, what was going to stop him? He terrified my mother,
sometimes he hit her to ‘teach me a lesson’. He beat me until I BEGGED to be
experimented on. Then he would encourage me to fight with kids on the street so
the sight of all the bruises on me didn't seem out of place. Smart, right? He
was very smart. Which is why I became friends with Armin very quickly. I
finally had a reason to fight them. A valid reason. I protected him and he
indirectly protected me I guess. He made sure that I didn't have to explain
myself since everyone assumed they were my fault. My dad would punish me for
fighting then afterwards, he would…” A shiver ran down Eren’s spine as he
retched at the thought. Levi was now next to him, arms wrapped around Eren’s
body, eyes shining in horror. Eren looked at his hands and saw the he had
ripped off most of the skin around his nails. “... He would - reward - me. Or
that's what he liked to call it. It was hell. Or so I thought. This situation
I'm in, this one right now, has redefined hell for me, and it is so much worse
than it was before.”
 
A smile was now pasted on his face, so wide it looked as though it hurt. “Isn't
it ironic? I thought things would get better. It's why I originally went to
train for the military because anything was better than what my home had to
offer. Mikasa convinced me to try you know? She told me to stay alive because
she thought things would get better”. Eren paused for a moment to look at Levi
and made eye contact. Grey- almost silver eyes looked back at him full of
sorrow- and something else. But not pity. Strange. After all of this I would've
thought he would pity me, feel sorry for my shitty life. His eyes widened as
the realisation dawned on him. He understands? Eren carried on confused,
staring into grey. “I wanted to die so many times. Do you know what stopped me?
Mikasa. I knew he would go after her if I died. If I died, she would've been
tortured and starved, I couldn't do that to her. So I carried on. Day after
day. And when my mother died?” 
Tears were now streaming down his face, his body shaking at the effort of
containing himself. His voice was now a mere whisper as he uttered a sentence.
“I didn't know what to do and it's all my fault.”

At this, huge sobs wracked through his body as he clung onto Levi, burying his
face in his shoulder. Waves of sorrow and hopelessness washed over him when he
realised he was clinging on to the person that had made his life hell.

Yet, he didn't want to let go. Not yet. He just wanted to stay in the cocoon of
warmth and safety that he was in right now. He wanted to cling to the person
that grounded him to life.

The person who, even though made his life hell, had given him a proper reason
to live.

Chapter Notes
     Oops. It's been a few months. Sorry. We hope we made a good enough
     comeback. Also, hopefully soon we plan to post another fanfiction for
     YOI so hopefully thats something that some of you can look forward
     to. We aren't abandoning this fanfiction, we are just trying out
     different writing styles and enjoying being in fandoms, that sort of
     thing XD Thank you all so much for kudos and comments, they really
     encourage us to keep on writing for you guys as well as ourselves.
     TRIGGER WARNING
     Some of the imagery in this could be quite a sensitive topic for some
     people. We are sorry if this upsets you in any way. Many of the
     themes in this story are not pretty and seriously affect some people
     in the world. We are using it to show pain and only pain. It isn't a
     beautiful thing and it shouldn't be treated as such. It happens for
     many reasons and this story only covers a few of them. I hope that
     anyone who does go through this has someone to talk to and people to
     support them because people shouldn't have to go through anything
     like that alone. Once again, sorry if this upsets you in anyway.
     Thank you for reading

---Icy blue eyes flashed dangerously as Eren cried into Levi. Erwin watched the
whole ordeal, knuckles clenched at his side..---
The door opened and a figure strode in, slamming the door, causing Levi to look
up sharply. His eyes narrowed when he saw Erwin and he tightened his arms
around the sobbing boy.
Eren glanced up, vision blurry from the tears that weren’t falling fast enough.
“No no no NO NO NO STAY AWAY FROM ME”, he screamed at the advancing figure,
shaking violently at more memories that were resurfacing.
The door slamming. The tears pouring down his face. The large figure
approaching him. This feeling was all too similar and he needed someone.
Anyone. He needed to be saved from the man coming towards him. Grisha Jaeger.
He was going to hurt him, he was going to hurt Eren!
Eren’s body started to convulse in Levis hands, the tears were still flowing
but something was different. These tears weren’t streaming from the green
whirlwind of emotions the were originally, no, these tears flowed from a white
blank void that stared into nothingness.
Levi’s eyes widened slightly in panic as he held Eren tight, not knowing what
to do. “Shit do something, idiot”, he muttered to himself, smoothing back
Eren’s hair.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
Eren looked on through the haze, confused as to what was happening. Where am I?
I thought I was with Levi? He saw Mikasa stood close to him, her eyes glassy as
her hands twisted together in obvious agitation.
“Why are you sorry?” Eren saw himself say. “No matter what you do or don't do
it won't change things. No matter how many times you say please, it won't get
rid of the need to feel a pain that I can control. No matter how many people
ask me to stop, it won't stop me wanting the feel the initial sting of the
blade as it rips my skin. No matter how many people say it pains them when they
hear about it, it won't stop me from wanting to feel a different kind of pain,
the burning kind of pain I feel after the blade leaves my torn skin. And no
matter how many times people’s faces twist up with emotion whenever they see
the scars, it will never compare to the built up emotions that leave my body in
the blood that flows from the fresh tears in my skin that will later develop
into the hideous scars that everyone sees.
I'm sorry if this makes you sad but this is how it is and I don't know any
other way to get it across to you. You know that this is what it's like for me.
People can't help me because very few things compare to the negative things I
feel when I am mutilating my own body. I love you and everyone else who's there
for me. I really do. I love you all so much. But some things are difficult to
stop doing”.
He stopped, his breaths coming out as short rapid gasps from the lack of
oxygen. He looked down at his wrists, blood still flowing out of his broken
skin like red ribbons wrapping around him, afraid of what was going to happen
next. As he looked up to Mikasa, her face crumpled as she suddenly pulled him
in for a hug and whispered, “I love you too” into his ear as her tears fell,
dropping onto his shoulder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Suddenly, he was gone again, Eren could feel someone’s arms around him,
squeezing him tight. He opened my mouth trying to say something and gazed
around, the room hazy. He couldn’t remember what was happening, and he wanted
to find out, but no one seemed to understand what he was saying. “It’s okay,
Eren. It’s me, Levi. I’ll stay with you.” The voice faded away, his name
striking some recognition within Eren.
Some time later, he opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He could see
again!
Eren opened his eyes fully and took in his surroundings. He was curled up on
Levi’s lap in Erwin’s office. It was an unusual set up to say the least. Levi
was gently stroking Eren’s hair but his eyes were locked with Erwin’s, a silent
war being waged. Eren had clearly missed something. He was about to speak up
when Erwin cleared his throat and got up from his seat, looking down at the
pair on the chair.
“Levi.” His name was said, a sharp warning hidden in the undertones; it was
clear Erwin was getting agitated and Levi’s dark glare showed that he
understood what Erwin was hinting but had no intention of cooperating. It was
truly frightening for Eren who was still shaken from earlier. He let out a
quiet whimper and pulled up his knees to his chest.
“I need to talk to him Levi, I promise to return him”, Levi showed no sign of
moving so Erwin continued,”you know I never break a promise.” Eren felt Levis
shoulders slump then felt himself being picked up before being gently placed
back on the chair, still warm from when Levi was sat there earlier. Levi turned
around and ran his hand through Eren’s hair, ruffling it slightly and stared
into his eyes. Eren could see a deep sadness behind them so he closed his eyes
and leaned into Levi’s touch. But it ended all too soon and when Eren opened
his eyes again Levi was removing his hand and striding towards Erwin. He paused
next the the larger man, looking up at him but still managing to make it seem
like he was the one in control. Levi gave Erwin one final glare before he made
his way to the door, stopping briefly to collect himself before he left, the
blank mask back in place. That was when Erwin turned to Eren.
“Eren I’d like to help you. Seems as though you were having some problems
earlier?” Erwin raised his eyebrows and stood up, walking to a nearby cabinet.
Eren winced at the fuzzy memory of how he'd acted earlier and dropped his head,
focusing on his hands that were in his lap. “I'm sorry about what happened
earlier”, he mumbled, picking at the skin around his nails.
Erwin smiled and walked over to where the boy currently sat and put his hand on
Eren’s shoulder, giving him a reassuring pat. “It's alright, I know you weren't
in the right state of mind, though I think I could help you and prevent any
other attacks you could experience in the future”, he said, continuing with
what he was doing earlier.
Eren hesitated before shaking his head, giving his commander a small but firm
answer with no extra explanation. “No thank you sir.”
Erwin's brows furrowed ever so slightly, as he replied, “Are you very sure?”
His voice had taken on a slightly harder edge as he brought two cups to the
desk in front of Eren.
A nervous look appeared in the titan shifter’s eyes as he started to scratch at
his arms, ugly red marks appearing on the surface. “Y-yes?” He said
uncertainly, tilting his head slightly.
Erwin sighed and pushed a now filled cup forwards towards the younger boy.
“Very well. The offer will still be there in the future, and before you go,
have some tea. It's quite cold outside”.
As he drank, Eren caught it’s surprisingly sweet scent and found himself
wanting more. This is really good. As he placed down the empty cup he looked up
to see Erwin standing beside him. He caught sight of Erwin’s strangely
impassive face and stood up, a shiver running down his spine. “Thank you for
the tea, I’ll be going now”
“Yes, I suppose you will.”
“Pardon? Did you say something?” Eren turned around, hand still on the door.
“No no, it’s okay. I’ll see you later.”
“Ok, thank you commander!”

Looking out the window, Eren saw that it was already quite dark out.  Geez how
long was I out for?  Eren stretched and swung his legs over the edge of the
bed. He smiled contently as he thought about what happened. Levi was able to
put up with him; he didn’t turn him away when he learnt a bit about Eren’s
past. It was refreshing and made Eren smile. It had been a long time since an
attack that bad happened and Levi was able to hold him. Levi may never
reciprocate his feelings but it reassured Eren that Levi would be there to hold
him in this time of need and that meant that Levi would be there for the baby
as well. That was all that mattered to Eren right now: the small bundle of life
that was developing inside him. The combination of Humanities Strongest and
Humanities Last Hope, the perfect human and the rogue titan, Levi and Eren…
 
Eren chuckled to himself and brought his hand round to his dome-shaped stomach.
It was getting bigger with each passing day however; as a result of this, it
was getting much harder to hide. That was something he would eventually need
discuss with Levi. Did he want to keep the conception of the child a secret?
Eren wouldn’t have minded, he would understand if Levi wanted to keep it a
secret and he was a okay with that, as long as he could support them. Eren had
fully accepted the fact that he was pregnant, he knew it wouldn’t be an easy
task but the love for this child casted a light over any shadow of doubt that
he had, vanquishing it from his mind. He was by no means prepared for this
though, but when has he been prepared for anything? He would be lying if he
said he wasn’t scared but luckily he has Hanji, who he should probably see soon
to explain everything that happened. Hanji would probably flip when they heard
about it so it would probably be best if he got it out the way soon.
 
Eren pushed himself off his bed, but sat down immediately after and brought his
hands up to cover his eyes. The world was spinning and he felt his stomach
turn.  Is this another side effect of being pregnant?  He thought to himself
then made a mental note to discuss this along with other side effects he might
experience. Before this week, he never thought he would be in this situation.
He never thought he would of had sex with his crush. He never thought he would
be able to discuss his past. He never thought he would be pregnant. This was
all rather surreal to him still. So much had happened and it wasn’t all
flopping on it’s ass. It was too good to be true in all honesty; he was just
waiting for it all to go wrong…
 
Eren tried standing again, slowly this time, and sighed in relief when the
nauseous feeling from his previous attempt didn’t return. This encouraged Eren
to continue his day, maybe even go see his friends, after he sees Hanji of
course. Eren threw on his baggiest clothes with the hope of covering his bump.
It didn’t work as well as he hoped but it did  something  at least. There
wasn’t much more he could do to hide it anyway so he might as well embrace it
early on. He looked at his reflection in the window before setting off down to
Hanji’s lab. It was a place of dread for many, but for Eren, it was a place of
safety.
 
A place of safety that was empty when Eren got there.  Typical.  Eren shook his
head and sighed, he had really been hoping to speak with the scientist.  Oh
well,  he thought as he considered his other options. He could go meet up with
his friends and have breakfast, he was really craving warm bread crust for some
reason.  Odd.  It seemed like forever since he really hung out with them, even
though it had only been a few days. Smiling at the idea of being with his
friends, he set off down the corridor to wait for them in the food hall. He
felt confident about facing them.
 
He approached the door leading to the room where he intended to meet them and
looked around. He couldn’t see any of his friends around but there were a few
empty tables that he could choose from. Looking around, he spotted a table in
the left corner near the door and thought it seemed suitable since the group
often sat around this area. As he walked towards the table, he looked around,
suddenly unsure of what he should do. Thoughts flooded his mind, filling him
with doubt.  Why aren’t they here? Is it because they know? Maybe they don't
want to face me anymore. I'm disgus-  That was when he heard someone clear
their throat behind him and he squeaked in shock before stammering out an
apology, trying to shuffle away simultaneously.
 
“Oi! Eren!” the voice made Eren’s turn around suddenly to look at the figure
standing near him, his face lighting up in slight relief.
 
“Jesus christ Jean!” Eren exclaimed, giving him a faint smile. “What are you
doing here?” he asked.
 
“To meet you. And eat. Duh”, he replied, shrugging his shoulders and taking a
seat at the table. “I  am  carrying a tray of food after all,” he added,
looking down at the tray that was placed on the table. “Oh and I saw that you
hadn't gotten anything so I got extra for you”. Jean smiled at Eren who was
staring owlishly at him.
 
“Oh.. Thanks, did you get any extra bread?” Eren was unsure of what was
happening as Jean was never usually nice to him. He walked towards the table
and sat down, his mind still occupied with the whereabouts of his other
friends.
 
“Yeah of course, who do you take me for?” he replied, a bemused look appearing
on his face. “Are you okay? You seem slightly… dazed.” The two toned boy
struggled to find words to describe Eren, not used to seeing this side of him.
Probably just the pregnancy.  He reassured himself and pushed some food across
the table to the brunette who was still just sat there doing nothing.
 
Eren smiled, oddly comforted by his concern and replied, ripping off the bread
crust. “Yeah I’m ok, just a bit out of it,” he reassured Jean. Jean shot a
questioning look at Eren but before he could voice his concerns he heard the
food hall doors open again and he saw Eren's face morph into some form of
unreadable expression.
 
His eyes… are his eyes.. glowing?  Eren frowned and tilted his head, wondering
if he was hallucinating. He could see that Levi was staring straight at him, an
almost  predatory  look to his usual blank faced expression.
 
Jean’s voice bought him back, turning his gaze towards his food once more. “You
sure you're ok?” Jean said, peering closely at Eren’s rather pale complexion.
Eren’s head jerked back up, glancing back at the pale figure who now looked as
he usually did.  Strange. Must have been seeing things.
 
“ Yeh I'm sure, I just felt a bit sick today”, Eren responded, bringing another
piece of crust to his mouth. “Must be the pregnancy.” he added, peering around
the hall.
 
Jean’s eyes followed Eren’s gaze and landed on a table in the corner of the
room, but quickly returned to Eren when he heard the boy hiss through his
teeth. The pregnant boy really did look out of it. When he first saw Eren he
seemed paler and smaller but he just assumed that was because of the large navy
jumper he was wearing, but now that clear that the boy wasn't well.
 
“Eren, have you been to seen Hanji recently?” Jean asked, worry lacing his
voice. The sudden question caused Eren to turn his attention to the other boy.
 
“I was going to go this morning but she wasn't there” Eren mumbled, looking at
his hands. He wished he’d seen Hanji this morning, he had a lot to get off his
chest and the pain he had developed in his lower abdomen was increasingly
getting worse.  Maybe the baby's growing faster?  He didn't know what else
could explain the pain since it was way too early to give birth.

Eren's thoughts were quickly cut off by the banshee like scream that resonated
from the doorway. Eren and Jean turned to the door to see Sasha and Connie
frozen, blocking the way in and behind them was a very pissed looking Mikasa
and a worried Armin trying to calm her down. Eren looked at the scene before he
started to laugh, his worries being pushed to the side as he watched his
friends; two of which were trying to barrel towards him  through  the other two
who were still frozen in the doorway, blocking it. It was and catastrophe
waiting to happen. Jean turned his head towards his chuckling friend and smiled
to himself.  Eren looks happy again,  Jean thought and that in turn made the
taller boy feel better.
