- I know the song is way too sad and deep for the chapter, but I adore the song and the cover. And NO, it is NOT about Levi and Petra. It's about Isabel and Farlan. You'll know if you read the manga and/or watched the OVA "A Choice With No Regrets"/"The Birth Of Levi."-

Warning; I'm getting ready to rant a lot:

(I want to apologize for the lateness of this chapter. If you read my posts on my profile, you already know why it's late. Be sure to be aware if I post, I post a lot if something is up with the upcoming chapters! If you didn't read them, it was because I had stuff going on. I got robbed; someone from my job stole $150+ from me, and so of now, I am broke with no job. I have two checks coming in soon, but they won't last long. Another reason, is because I'm sick.
It started off as a really bad cold, but now I'm getting an ultrasound on my leg to see if I have a blood clot. Which is extremely stressful and scary.
And, I've been working at the horse stables almost every day of the week, and I'm there for many hours, so I hardly have time to write.
I'm a horrible author I know. And I'm sorry.
But props to all of you if you actually read all of this. I tend to ramble a lot.

I tried to make this chapter extra long, and add some sexy time at the end haha. Hope you like it.

Levi's POV
(tell me if any of you are getting bored of Levi's POV. I can switch it to Eren's, though I'm better at Levi's, aha)

The sun was down, and it was becoming dark outside. The tree bark against my back was slowly becoming painful, but I didn't care. I wasn't paying attention to what was happening, but only on one thing.

Eren.

His head laid on my lap, eyes still closed, unconscious. My two fingers laid on his neck, just to make sure he still had a heartbeat. My fingers never moved away, afraid if I had moved away, he would die. I'm not taking any chances of that happening.

My free hand weaved through his brown hair, keeping myself busy, and trying not to fall into a worry mess.

"Eren, please wake up."

Silence.

I sighed. It's been hours. It was becoming cold outside, now that the sun had disappeared. We had nothing to keep us warm but each other. Nothing was going right.

I looked down from the limb we were sitting on. Multiple upon multiple Titans were standing at the trunk of the tree, hands grabbing up towards us, but we were just out of their reach. I hoped no taller Titan would make an appearance, because they would definitely be able to reach us.

I noticed that the Titan's moved incredibly slow while it was dark outside, unlike when it was day light out. When it was bright, the Titan moved incredibly fast and I noticed some ran quite fast for being as heavy as they are. I was slightly greatful that they weren't as active tonight, but that doesn't mean I'm completely safe so I have to be aware of what's going on, while protecting myself, and of course poor Eren here.

Sighing, I caressed his face. I clenched my eyes closed tightly, scolding myself when I felt my eyes threatening to tear up. There's no way I'm going to cry, I've got to be strong for Eren.

I leaned down, pressing my nose into his soft, brown hair as I kissed his head lightly.

"Eren, I don't know if you hear me," I whispered, "But I need you to wake up now. I know you're probably in pain, but you're going to need to wake up, and not let the pain take over you. I need you here now, Eren."

I pursed my lips when I felt my eyes water up again. There was no response from the boy in my lap.

"Fuck. Eren, I'm not asking anymore. Wake the fuck up." I said sternly, no longer whispering. "Don't be a damn coward and die on me. Get up."

I clenched my teeth, he didn't move at all. I was slowing giving up, even though I knew I shouldn't be, but I wasn't havin much of another option right now.

I balled his jacket into my hands tightly, and shook him gently. "Eren, please."

I felt the tree start to shake. I snapped my head into the direction of the ground, seeing a much taller Titan beside the trunk of the tree. It was maybe 13 meters tall, and I noticed that it could reach much farther up on the tree than the others. Thankfully, not close enough to get us. That doesn't mean it couldn't take the tree completely down, though.

"Eren, if you're going to wake up at all, now would be a good fucking time." I said quickly, shaking him more.

I pressed my forehead onto his, closing my eyes, whispering comforting things to Eren, and maybe even to myself as well.

Many minutes have passed, and nothing changed besides more Titans gathering around the tree.

I began to shake my head. "We're not going to make it." I whispered, looking up in the dark, starry sky.

I then heard a groan.

Damn Titans and their weird noises they make. I thought.

But then I heard a whimper. Now, why the fuck would a Titan be whimpering?

"Hey." I heard. I looked down quickly, to see beautiful green, opened eyes looking back up at me. "We'll make it."

My eyes widened, in shock. I just about reached over and pinched myself, not believing if what I was seeing, was happening or not.

"E-Eren... Oh my god." I quickly bent down to kiss his lips hard for a quickly moment. "I-I didn't know if you were going to make it, I-"

"Shh, sh, Levi. I'm not that much of a pussy like Jean." He joked, and winced when he chuckled.

"Where does it hurt?" I asked quickly.

"My shoulders, stomach, neck..." He whispered. "I'm okay, though."

"No, you're not Eren! That thing could have squeezed you like a grape. You're lucky to even be breathing." I told him, rubbing his chest.

"Yeah, well it didn't squeeze me. I'm here, alive, and I'm not going to die."

Sighing, I kissed his forehead. "There's another thing you may need to know." He hummed questionably in response. "There's are at least a dozen Titans below us, trying to reach us, and I'm afraid they may actually be able to take this whole tree down. I'm not sure how much longer we have until that happens." I whispered quietly into his hair, as I kissed his forehead again.

I felt him tense up a little. "We can't stay here in that case."

"You're way too weak, Eren."

"Then what do you suggest we do then? We can't stay here, risking our life."

"You're risking your life even if we move!"

"At least we'll be making an effort of saving ourselves, Levi!" He raised his voice, wincing as he sat up, and turning around to look at me. "Look, we can use our 3DMG's, and find another tall tree. If we're fast enough, these Titans won't be able to find us since they're much slower at dark."

I clenched my teeth again, furrowing his eyebrows. "What if we run into more on the way there?"

He was quiet for a moment. "Well, since they're slower, we have a better chance at dodging them, but if something happens, we'll have to fight them off."

"See, that's what I'm worried about here. You can hardly even talk without wincing because you're in pain. How the hell do you expect to take down a fucking gigantic Titan?"

"Levi. Stop worrying." He said sternly, beginning to stand up, thinking I didn't notice his face wrinkle up in pain.

I shook my head, but stood up, making sure my 3DMG was on tightly and correctly.

He looked at me once he was ready. I nodded with no words, silently telling him I was ready as well.

We began to glide off the tree, and the Titans quickly caught on that we were moving and, slowly but surely, began to follow us.

The wind blew against my now cold face, blowing the hair out of my face in process. I wasn't going to lie, this felt amazing. Even though I could die at any second, I was enjoying myself. I felt my eyes slowly close as I bent my head back, enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing onto me.

"Levi, keep your eyes opened please. It's dark, and it's already hard enough to see. I don't want you to run into a tree or something." He told me, gliding beside me.

I bent my head forward again, opening my eyes again, and looked towards him and slightly smiled. "I'm glad you're okay."

He looked at me again, and smiled back.

After a few minutes, we lost the Titans that were at the tree before. Luckily we didn't run into anymore, when we finally found an even taller tree, and we happily took place on a thick, long limb.

After almost an hour of full silence, just resting on the limb, and staring up into the sky, I broke the silence.

"Have you guys tried many ways to get out of here? Like, climbing to the top of the walls or something? Or even fucking fly to the top?"

Eren sighed, looking in my direction. "We've tried everything. No use. The 3DMG's can only go so high until the gas stops working. One of our guys tried once, a few years ago. He was almost to the top. Maybe about 10 more feet to go and he would have been there. But it was almost as if there was an invisible wall in his way, and it was like he just smashed into it. He instantly fell to the ground very hard. He unfortunately didn't live through it, and we haven't tried that stunt since then." He explained as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Damn." Was my response. What else was I to say?

"We'll eventually get out of here, we will." He muttered, leaning over and pecked my cheek. "It'll be morning soon, and the gates will be opened. We'll head back soon."

I nodded, not responding. But I leaned into his side, resting my head on his shoulder but instantly threw myself back off once I remember he was sore. "Shit, sorry, I forgot."

"No, sh, it's okay." He responded, pressing my head on his shoulder, ignoring the pain he was feeling. "I enjoy you being close to me."

I leaned up a little bit, kissing his jaw. "So, we're the first to survive out here over night?"

He nodded. "It was all you, too, ya'know. You killed the Titan absolutely amazingly. If you weren't there, I would have been a dead man."

"Don't say that. You're strong, Eren. Really strong." I replied.

I heard him sigh. "I come off to people like I am. But I'm not all that strong. A strong person wouldn't have let his partners die, unlike me."

I shot up from leaning on him. "Don't you dare fucking blame yourself. Eren, you're the strongest man I know. Sure, I can't remember anyone from my past life, but I know for a fact, you're stronger than anyone out there. You can't sit here, and say that it's all your fault because you know very well you couldn't help them. Strong or weak, you couldn't do anything Eren. It's not your fault. So shut the fuck up, and man up."

He stared at me for a good minute or two, not knowing how to reply. His eyebrows furrowed, before he took my hand into his, caressing my hand with his thumb. "You're not the best at pep talks, but I get your point. Thanks."

I ignored taking offense to his obvious insult, and nodded.

After that, it was nothing but a comfortable silence. I never really got to look at the stars in the beautiful dark blue sky while I've been to this... Trap. And now that I have tonight, I can hardly get my eyes off of it. I don't usually strike people to think I'm into nature, but I'm actually really into it. Even though I can't remember much about my previous life, I have a feeling I liked nature in those days as well.

"We should try to get back to the gate." He whispered. "The sun's coming up." He said as he pointed to the sky that was now turning a pinkish color, with the tip of the sun on its way into the sky.

After agreeing with him, we both made our way to the gate, which was still closed but would be opening any time now.

"Levi, just a fair warning, a lot of the guys are going to be seriously angry with you. You broke the rules, and they're not going to let it slide." Eren warned, standing beside me, looking down at me.

Sighing, I nodded. "I had a feeling. But as of right now, they think we're both dead. Maybe my punishment won't be too severe."

Eren snorted. "Yeah, right. Jean won't let it down. Don't worry too much though. I'll come up with your punishment." He smirked.

I raised my eyebrows. "I saved your life back there, and here you are coming up with a punishment for me? Tch, I won't be saving your ass anymore." I joked, clicking my tongue while I crossed my arms across my shoulder as I looked up at him.

"Who knows. It may be a pleasurable punishment." Eren hinted, raising one eyebrow at me.

I felt my cheeks heat up immediately, and I looked away from him. "Stop that."

Eren moved slightly, and I felt his finger tips slowly dance across my bicep, while his other hand pressed my shoulder back making me step back many steps, against the wall, beside the gate. He pushed me up against the hard wall, and his lips instantly smashed onto mine, creating an already deep kiss. His nibbled at my bottom lip, as I followed his lead. His hands rubbed against my chest, making me begin to pant, begging for air. He pulled back for a quick moment, but instantly moved to the crook of my neck, making me bite at my bottom lip, hard enough to taste the disgusting metallic flavor of my own blood. One of his hands travelled across my hip, making sure to rub it slightly, before crossing towards my back, and down to my ass, giving it a firm squeeze. Gasping, I gripped at his hair, while fisting at his jacket. I felt his leg step in between mine, as he sucked on my neck, and his thigh began to rub against me, creating a friction I didn't think I was able to handle for long.

"E-Eren," I hissed, weaving my slender fingers through his brown locks. "The gates are going to o-open. T-They'll see us."

He pulled back from my neck for just a short moment, before muttering, "Let them. I don't give a shit." And went straight back to traveling across my neck.

I grunted in both frustration and in pleasure. "We can't."

He grunted as well in response, before pecking my neck a few more times before completely pulling back. We were both panting. His hands rested on the wall, behind me, arms on each side of my head. He was starring straight at me, into my eyes.

"Where the hell did that come from?" I asked, after catching my breath.

"That was just the beginning of your punishment." He replied before pulling back away from me again, just as the gate began to open. "Be ready for some hugs from some people, and glares from the others."

I cleared my throat, pushing myself off from leaning against the wall, fixing my shirt, but made sure it covered the front of my pants. Not really wanting to show everyone I'm extremely sexually frustrated, if you get what I mean.

The gate continued to open, and I could now see people start to come in view. They were all standing right in front of the gate as it opened. I saw many smiles, some looked very surprised to see we were alive, and then there was Jean, who was glaring straight at me with his horse like eyes. I ignored him.

As soon as the gate was fully opened, and Eren and I both walked through it, we were bombarded with hugs, screams and questions. I slightly gave them all small hugs back, muttered a few answers, but kept walking straight through the crowd along with Eren who was trying to cover up the fact that he was still in pain. I made a mental note to check up on him and his wounds and care for them.

＾＾

"How the hell did you stay alive out there?" One guy asked, who I haven't met.

We were all gathered around in a cabin, and everyone had a question or two to ask.

Right when I was about to respond, Eren stepped in. "It was all Levi. He kept us alive."

Everyone's eyes widened, surprised that the short, new boy could accomplish such a thing. "It wasn't all me, Eren." I muttered.

"He even killed a Titan." He put it, smirking.

It was then when all of the questions everyone had, just rushed out of their mouth. Asking how did I do it, asking what was my technique. Tch, technique my ass.

Right when all the questions were being asked all at once, it was Jean who silenced them all with one sentence. "He also broke the biggest rule we have."

Everyone looked back at him, and it donged on them, that he was right. I looked down at my feet, avoiding eye contact with the damn horse face.

"He went out of the gate, and he's not a cadet. We can't just let that slip. I mean, congratulations, Levi. You killed your first Titan, and you stayed alive. But you did something very wrong." Jean said, glaring at me.

I raised my head, and gave him a death glare. "I kept your captain alive, you pig. You'd think I wouldn't need a punishment." I hissed.

Jean snorted, and was about to reply a smug comment, but Eren finally butted in. "Now, now, let's not get too wound up. Sure, what Levi did was against the rules, but he did save my life. So that being said, I will take care of it and make sure he understands. Alright, Jean? Just drop it, and I'll take care of it."

I bit the inside of my cheek as I remembered what Eren said earlier, wondering if he was actually being serious, if that was really what my punishment was going to be.

"I say he spends one night in the pit." Jean put in quickly.

"I'll take care of it, Jean." Eren hissed, glaring at Jean.

Jean rolled his eyes, and walked out of the cabin quickly, stomping his feet. What a spoiled brat he is.

"Come on." Eren muttered, guiding me out the cabin, as the rest of the people were leaving as well. "Follow me."

I followed beside him, as we walked towards his cabin. "Eren?"

"Hm?"

"Why haven't you mentioned about... Your partners?" I asked quietly.

Eren sighed. "I just don't feel like bringing it up. Not when everyone is focused on us returning, alive."

I nodded, understanding.

He opened his cabin door for me, letting me walk in first. I noticed he was looking around, making sure no one was looking or around, before stepping inside.

His hands went over his head, stretching and yawning. "Man, I am beat."

I noticed there was an extremely dark bruise on his hip, that was turning black, when his shirt rode up wen he raised his arms. "Jesus Christ, Eren, lay down. You're covered in bruises."

Eren sighed, shaking his head. "Don't worry about me, I'm okay."

"No you're not. Lay down." I ordered. He finally obeyed, and slowly laid on the bed, wincing as he bent down. "Told you so."

"It's just a few bruises and scars."

I then quickly lifted the bottom hem of his shirt up, revealing multiple blacking bruises, and also an open wound on his rib, that I noticed had a huge blotch of dry blood.

"What the hell Eren? You need a fucking doctor." I said, looking for anymore serious wounds. I patted around his arm, and he let out a painful screech. "Whoa, your arm." I realized his arm was in a weird position.

"It's just cramping." He said, biting his lip.

"It's dislocated, you swine. I'm going to get a doctor." I said, and started to walk towards the door but stopped at his voice.

"No, please. I don't want anyone in here. I'm tired of being around people. As glad as I am, being back here alive, I want to be alone with you for tonight." He said, looking over at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at him. "Well you're going to have to have that arm put back into place." I commented. "I'll do it."

Eren's eyes widened. "N-No, that's okay."

"No, I'll do it. For some reason, I know exactly how to do it." I said, walking back over to him, examining his arm.

"What if you don't do it right? I'll be in even more pain."

"Eren, it's not even that hard. I just... I just pull it, right?" I said, doubting myself.

"See?!" He yelled out, putting his good arm over his forehead.

"I'm still doing it. You can't sleep with a dislocated arm." I said, putting one of my hands in his, and put my other hand on his forearm. "Just... Breathe I guess."

"Oh god."

I put my booted foot in his arm pit, positioning it into the correct position, I think. "Ready?" I muttered.

He groaned. "As ready as I'll ever be. I'm going to kill yo- Fuck!"

I cut him off by pulling his arm towards me, hearing a loud pop. My eyes widened. "That wasn't too bad."

"Easy for you to say! That hurt like a bitch!" He yelled, bringing his arm close to him, cradling it and moaning in pain.

I snorted, rolling my eyes, walking away from and him and towards the small kitchen area, that was basically in the same room as where his bed was at. Considering it was all one room, excluding the bathroom. "It should feel better than it did before though." I said, grabbing an apple, wiping it off with the hem of my shirt.

He shrugged his shoulders. "It does. Thanks."

"Don't mention it." I replied, taking a big bite of the red apple. "Take a nap now." I said, chewing. "You need it."

"Only if you sleep beside me." He replied, raising an eyebrow in my direction.

I gave him a flat look. "It's the middle of the day. I can't be in here all day, people will suspect something."

"Nah, they'll probably just think I'm talking to you about some kind of punishment. Get over here."

Walking over to the bed, while taking another bite from the apple, and toeing off my tall brown boots, I sat on the side of the bed. "If you say so." I muttered.

I felt his hands travel around my sides, and his face nudged it's way into my neck, leaving small kisses. I continued to finish up my apple, not really getting into the mood.

"What do you think you're doing?" I muttered, taking another bite.

"What's it look like I'm doing?" Eren whispered, kissing up my jaw from behind. "Take the harness off and lay down."

"I'm not taking it off to get fresh with you. I'm tired, and I want a nap. Alright?" I said, looking back at him.

He nodded. "I wasn't planning anything else than sleeping." He said, sheepishly.

"Tch, yeah right. Speaking of getting fresh, didn't you say you were old fashioned?" I asked, standing up, and turning around to look at him. "You said you wanted to date before getting sexual. What happened to that?"

He shrugged, and cocked his head to the side. "You're just hard to resist."

I felt my cheeks heat up a bit, and I turned back around to throw the apple core into the bin, making it right in. I began to unbuckle the belts of the harness, as Eren followed suit and stood up, being careful of his arm. I noticed he was struggling with his main belt, around his hips.

"Let me help." I muttered, moving closer to him. My fingers grabbed the buckle of the belt, and pulled at it. I looked up at him, and saw he was already looking straight at me, into my eyes. I starred right back into his, once I completely unbuckled the belt buckle, and started to pull it out of the belt loops, and the other buckles that attached it to the top piece of the harness.

(I have the AOT harness, and I know how it's built, BUT ITS SO HARD TO EXPLAIN WHICH PIECES ATTACH TO WHAT. SO MANY STRAPS I SWEAR TO GOD ITS A PAIN TO PUT ON.)

"Ya'know Levi, you're a real tease sometimes." He whispered, bringing his face closer to mine, as I wrapped my arms around his waist to successfully get the belt out of the loops, keeping my eyes on him.

I raised my eyebrow, feeling my lips twitch up in a smirk. "Really now? Tell me, what's your plan for my punishment?" I whispered.

He chuckled. "I'd start with getting you naked." I pulled the belt out of all the loops. I started working on his chest strap. "Then I would throw you up against the wall."

I pushed the top half of the harness off his shoulders, having it fall down to his hips, still being attached to the leg straps. "Hm? Then what?" I leaned down to unbuckle his thigh straps, teasing him by massaging the inside of his thigh with my thumb.

"I'd kiss you until you're breathless, rubbing you where it would make you pant..."

I released the two thigh straps, pulling the leg straps out of the loops, and having them fall to the floor. "Does the fun stuff happened after that?"

I lifted his leg up, removing the elastic materiel from the bottom of his foot, and the same with his other foot.

"Hmm, yes. I'd fuck you senseless." He whispered, and I felt his fingers weave themselves into my hair.

I quickly stood up once I threw the pile of leather to the side, catching him off guard. "Sounds nice. We should try it sometime." I said simply, patting his chest before walking away from him, throwing the rest of my harness off.

I left him speechless, and I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. I love teasing the boy.

Once I removed my harness, I saw he was getting into bed, pulling the blankets up around him. I laid down beside him, on my side so my back was facing him. I slightly smiled once I felt him arm wrap around my waist, bringing me closer as he spooned me.

"Sleep well." He whispered into my ear, kissing my cheek. I hummed in response, closing my eyes and instantly felt sleep take over me.

(ㆆᴗㆆ)
＾＾

I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not, since the feeing felt so... Real? But I couldn't imagine it happening anywhere else but my dreams. I gripped onto the sheets, lolling my head around, keeping my eyes closed as the wonderful feeling continued.

Moaning, I bit lip lightly. "Shit." I bit at it harder, feeling the pain. I know you can't feel pain in a dream, but there's no way this amazing feeling is real. My hips bucked, as the feeling got deeper, stirring up some amazing feeling in the pit of my stomach. "E-Eren." I moaned out. He's the only face I could see with my eyes closed. The only person I would dream about, especially something like this...

I felt fingers rub my hips, leaving me to moan out again. My hands traveled down in the blankets, and I felt a mob of hair that felt so familiar... Like Eren.

I felt my eyes flutter open, and I then realized it was fortunately, definitely not a dream. I looked down, raised the covers a little, and saw Eren bobbing his head up and down on me. My eyes widened, and mouth was ajar as I took in the sight.

"Fuck, Eren." I groaned, tugging at his hair, in the pace I'd like him to go as, which wasn't slow at all. My breathing quickened as I felt the feeling come back. "E-Eren, I'm gonna..."

I didn't have time to finish the explicit sentence, as my back arched up high, eyes seemed to roll back into my head, and my grip on Eren's hair tightened, as I groaned loudly. His bobbing didn't stop, riding myself out.

"Holy shit." I whispered, as he pulled my pants back up, coming back up, outside of the covers, and wearing a smug smirk. "That was probably the best way to wake up."

He kissed my cheek. "I couldn't resist."
