Eren P.o.v:
"Do you wanna do something today Levi?" I asked as I poured the now cold mug of hot chocolate that Mikasa left behind down the sink.
He was sitting on the rug in the living room, painting some kind of picture for me. He looked around at me, seemingly thoughtful.
"Like what?" He turned again, and carried on, the brush in his hand moving swiftly across the paper
"Anything you want. Ice cream... The cinema... The aquarium... It's up to you."
Levi swivelled around excitedly, his face glowing. He dropped the paintbrush onto the newspaper surrounding the rug and ran over to me.
"I can really pick!?" He asked, his smile once again soaking up the pain leftover in my gut from the argument with Mikasa.
He had his arms wrapped around my midriff and was leaning slightly so that he had to look directly up at me.
I chuckled softly and ruffled his hair, watching as it fell perfectly back into place a second later.
"Sure you can, anything you like. Go wild."
He thought for a second, his brows furrowed with the many possibilities.
"Could we maybe do all three? I can't think of anything else..." He asked, a hopeful look taking place over the concentration.
"We sure can. We'd have to leave now though, to have plenty of time for everything."
He let go of my waist and shot up to hug me properly, however the weight he suddenly forced onto me caused me to stumble, and we fell back onto the couch behind us.
We looked at each other for a second, him on top and unintentionally straddling me, before a small giggle made its way from his lips. Soon he was in full blown laughter, his happiness echoing off the walls of the room and making my heart skip a beat.
The position we were in certainly didn't help. We were only a few centimeters away from each other, the gap so small that I'd only have to turn my head and our lips would be connected.
Have you ever craved something so intensely that you've had to physically hold yourself back to stop yourself from taking it?
Because in that moment, his tongue poking out slightly as he laughed, his shoulders shaking and tears gathering at the corner of his eyes, I had to use unimaginable restraint not to lean up and kiss him.
He stopped laughing after a few more seconds and looked at me again.
"H-hey Eren... I- I think you just f-fell for me." He said, giggling in between his words.
Again the amount of effort it took to stop myself from agreeing with him out loud was immense.
And then none of it mattered, because he closed the miniscule space between us and connected our lips for the second time since I met him.
The feelings I felt a few days ago flared up, the butterflies, the goosebumps, the skip of my heart beat as our lips touched.
It amazed me how he could change so quickly. One minute he was a five year old in a man's body and the next he was... well... This.
This wasn't anything like the kiss in the quiet room, that was sweet and affectionate, only lasting a few seconds before he pulled away. Whereas this one was longer, more passionate and he somehow managed to pour all of his emotion into it.
I closed my eyes slowly and brought my hand up to the back of his neck, pulling him closer.
I know it's wrong, and I know it probably won't work out, but at this point I don't care.
His taste is intoxicating, so much so that I can't think straight, and I can't get enough of it. I wanted to drown myself in it.
Steel mixed with emerald as he pulled away, our eyes soaking up the sight of the other.
"W-what was that for?" I asked, my fingers still tangled in the back of his hair.
"I don't know really... me showing you how much you mean to me I guess. You're the first person to actually listen and care."
I nodded slowly as he answered, finally coming back to reality.
He sat up and moved off of me, gathering his things.
"So... are we going then?" He asked, his cheeks dusted a light pink and his hair slightly messy.
"Y-yeah. Yeah sure, just give me a minute."
I got up from the couch and made my way to my bedroom, grabbing my wallet, keys and phone off of the beside table before walking back to the living room.
"Okay. You ready?" I asked softly and he nodded, the childish grin that was present three minutes ago reappearing.

The drive to the amusement park was slower than I'd thought it would be, so we spent most of our time singing along to Disney songs. The windows were rolled down all the way due to the sun blazing down on us, resulting in many weird looks from other vehicles on the road.
"LET IT GO, LET IT GO. CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE-" I belted out the words, putting no effort into sounding good.
"LET IT GO, LET IT GO. TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR."
"I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAY!"
"LET THE STORM RAGE ON."
"The cold never bothered me anyway..." and the last bit we sung together, our bad singing mixing into one voice and actually sounding kind of okay.
We finished our duet with laughter that shook the car slightly, I turned to him and smiled.
"You know, I think we'd rock Disney on ice."
He laughed and nodded.
"Only if you're Anna though obviously..."
'Shiganshina amusement park'
1/2 mile
Oh boy. I can already hear the screaming.

"Eren look! They're selling balloons!" Levi exclaimed, pulling me over to the cart of brightly coloured balloons.
"Do you want one?" I asked with a smile, getting the money out as he nodded and picked a turquoise green one.
"It reminds me of your eyes." He giggled, skipping ahead in search of more rides.
"Honestly. You'd think they'd keep freaks like that away from places like this." I heard someone say and I turned to see a couple glaring at Levi from the line of a roller coaster that totally didn't look scary as shit.
Levi turned to face them, his smile slowly fading and being replaced with a glare.
"I'm sorry. I don't recall asking for your opinion." He said harshly, eyeing them up and down.
"Oh. It speaks too... look weirdo. Know your place, don't talk to me as if we're equals. You don't belong here and you never will."
Levi's glare faltered and his breathing picked up. I could see his eyes glaze over as if he just left reality.
I walked over to him and the couple as calmly as I could and smiled.
"Hey there. I couldn't help but notice your disgusting behavior just then. To be honest I'm surprised I could even understand you, because you're head is so far up your ass that you're just talking pure shit." I said in one breath, giving them a sickly sweet smile before turning my back on them and walking away, coaxing Levi along as well.
I sat him down on a wall near the restroom and bent down to his level.
"Levi? Are you okay?"
No response.
His eyes were unfocused, looking directly at me but at something else entirely at the same time.
He was shaking uncontrollably, sweat forming on his forehead and brows furrowed with clear distress.
"Levi? Can you hear me?"

Levi P.o.v:
"You don't belong here... and you never will. Remember that little boy."
I nodded my head at my shoes to show I understood, my hands fiddling with the hem of my shirt in nervousness.
"Stop fidgeting and pulling at your clothes! You'll ruin them. Honestly... You're such a slob."
I let my hands drop to my sides, willing myself to keep still.
"Levi? Can you hear me?"
A voice... It's distant and it echoes around the space slowly. But it was warm, and comforting. I wanted to hear it more.
"Are you even listening to me boy?" I looked up in surprise, only to feel my cheek sting a second later, like thousands of little needles just pricked it.
"You disobedient brat. You're not even paying attention... Come." She said, spitting the nickname as if it was poison.
I shook my head violently as I realised what she meant.
"P-please... don't... t-take me back t-there..." I begged as I moved away from her, my back soon hitting one of the walls that confined me to this house.
"Are you arguing with your mother boy? How dare you! Ungrateful little child." She stormed towards me, her lips pursed in disapproval.
"Levi... It's me... Eren. I need you to look at me."
The voice... It's getting louder with each word, but she was also getting closer. Her hand reached out for me, pulling at my clothes and I squeezed my eyes shut in fear.
And then suddenly it stopped.
I blinked once and Eren was kneeling on the floor in front of me, worry etched onto his face.
"Y-you... you s-saved me."
