Levi's POV. Unedited; sorry.

I woke up in bed alone, which was fine. I expected that since I'm sure Eren had many things to do, considering he is in charge of everyone and everything around here.

But what I didn't expect to see was that there was a small spot of blood on the pillow where Eren's head rested the night before. I didn't remember seeing any sight of sore on his head, or anywhere else last night. He never even seemed to be in pain. Seeing the spot of blood was enough to have me jumping out of bed and quickly changing into some other comfortable clothes.

I was out of the cabin just as quick as I got out of the bed. I had no idea where Eren would be, but I had a gut feeling he would have maybe been with Farlan and Isabel; maybe training them. Sure enough, as I got closer to where Eren had trained me for the 3DMG, I saw Farlan and Isabel hanging on the wires while Eren sat and watched. Memories had flooded back to when Eren basically tortured me with touching my hips and myself making daddy jokes.

I shrugged the humorous memories off, and quickly made my way towards Eren. His eyes widened when he saw that I didn't look too happy. Mostly, I looked worried. But who wouldn't be worried after seeing blood that came from your partner?

"Eren." I stated as I got closer, I grabbed his shirt pulling him down a few inches, as I took his head in to my hands and I looked around for any sort of sore or anything. "Where did it come from?"

"What the fuck are you doing, Levi?!" He snapped, pulling his head back away from my grasp. "Where did what come from?!"

"The blood, idiot!" I said, turning his head again, to see if maybe it came from his ear.

"What blood?"

"There was blood on your pillow, dumbass."

I ignored the odd looks from Isabel and Farlan, since they already knew about Eren and I. Though, Eren didn't realize that they knew, and was instantly a flushed mess. He pulled me farther away from the snickering two, giving me the glare.

"They don't need to know about us, Levi. Too many people already know." Eren hissed, swatting my hands away from his face.

I furrowed my eyebrows at him, crossing my arms. "Only 5 or 6 people know, Eren. It's not even that big of deal..." I muttered, slightly hurt that he was so worried that people wouldn't find out. What would they do? Push us out the wall for being in a relationship? Fuck no.

"I don't give a shit. If someone finds out, all hell would break lose. I don't about you, but I definitely don't feel like that happening." He snapped, his voice raising by each word. He kept his eyes away from mine, and stared at some random tree as if it had just insulted him.

Clenching my teeth, I glared at him. "Thanks, Eren. Glad to know how much you care about me." With that, I turned on my heel and quickly headed towards any place besides Eren.

"What? No, Levi- wait!" He protested, grabbing at my arm and spun me around. "That's not what I meant-"

"Then what the fuck was that supposed to mean?" I snapped, slapped his hand off of me. "Eren, if you really did want this relationship, why the fuck are you so afraid of a person finding out?!"

Eren took in a deep breath through his closed teeth, balling his hands into tight fists. "I'm sorry." He looked down at his boots, as if they just became the most interesting thing. "I'm sorry I acted like that. I fucked up."

I stared at him for a moment. He had sincerity glowing in his eyes, and I knew he meant it. I knew had his moments where he would bust with anger, and then suddenly realize what he was saying, and then forget it when someone snapped at him. But for some damn reason, the anger is always going straight towards me. It doesn't go to Erwin, not Armin, not even fucking Jean. It goes to me.

But he doesn't mean it. I knew he doesn't.

"I'm sorry, Levi." His head went back down, as if he was expecting me to snap at him. He should know better that I wouldn't such a thing, not when I knew he was sorry. That would have been the biggest ass move of me to make.

My hand wandering to his cheek, my thumb rubbing his soft skin. "It's okay, Eren."

He slowly looked up me, his green eyes full of relieve and happiness, and some regret. He regretted his actions. He knew he had a problem with his temper, it was nothing new.

"Follow me." He whispered, taking my hand into his. Ignoring Isabel and Farlan's screams towards Eren telling him that he forgot them on the wires, he lead me outside the wall's gate.

"Eren, where are you taking me?" I asked quietly, looking behind my shoulder, back at the open gate. I knew it was only the beginning of the day, but it still felt weird. I felt like something was wrong, like this shouldn't be happening. "We should go back, idiot."

"No, I wanna show you something. I can't show you back there, it has to be out here." Eren replied.

I sighed, not bothering to edge him on. I knew he wouldn't turn back after he made up his mind. He would stick to his word, which could be a bad thing and also could be a good thing. In this situation, I wasn't sure which.

"Eren. Your ear is bleeding again." I quickly said, spotting a small spot of blood slipping outside his ear.

"Don't worry about it, Levi. The sore will go away."

"What the fuck? How am I not supposed to worry when you're fucking bleeding out of your ear for no reason?" I snapped, gripping at his shirt, wanting him to stop walking. He shrugged my grip off. "And what the fuck do you mean the sore will go away? Sores don't just magically disappear you idiot."

"You'll see!"

I'll see? I'll see fucking what?

My mouth opened on its own, but quickly shut when I had nothing more to say. Even if I did say something, it wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't make Eren stop. It wouldn't make a different. He was too focused on taking me god knows where. I kept my mouth shut, and let him lead me.

He finally stopped once we were a good 10 minutes from the gate. We were standing in an area that had a few trees around us, but for the most part we were in the middle of nowhere.

"Why are we here, brat?" I asked, rolling my eyes. "Is this a free strip tease?"

"Obviously, Levi. Start tossing some ones." He joked back at me, copying my actions as he rolled his eyes as well. "No, I need to show you something. You have to promise you won't show anyone."

"I'll make that promise after I see what the hell it is you're going to show me."

"No, you have to promise me now."

"Not if you're a fucking axe murderer or something. Do you have two dicks? Oh wait, I already know that for a fact."

He glared at me, clenching his jaw.

"Fine. I promise."

Brat.

He sighed, backing away from me as he just now let go of my hand. I furrowed my eyebrows, stepping towards him. "No, step back."

"Step back-? What, no. why would I do that?"

"Levi. Trust me."

How the fuck am I supposed to trust him when he just basically told me his sore was going to magically disappear. For some reason, I stopped walking towards him and remained in one spot.

"Oh I get it. You're a werewolf." I muttered, resting my hands on my hips. Of course I was joking. How was I supposed to be serious when he sounds like he's losing his mind.

"Something like that."

Wait, what?

"Where's some popcorn. Give me a recliner and some popcorn. Is this a remake of Twilight?" I joked, rolling my eyes.

"Levi! Be serious for one minute in your life. This is some weird shit I'm getting ready to show you." He grumbled, and started to remove his green shirt.

"Eren, what the fuck are you doing? I thought you said this wasn't a strip tease." Not that I would be complaining if he did give me a strip tease...

"Sh."

Did he just shush me?

Sighing, I decided to finally shut up after I saw the annoyance in his eyes. I crossed my arms across my chest, and gave him a look as if to say, 'go on.'

He popped his neck, looking really nervous. He took in a deep breath and held it. What the fuck is going on? Honestly, with Eren, I didn't know what the hell to expect to happen. Knowing him, anything could be going on. But now, he just looks like he's losing it.

"Okay. Don't freak too much."

"Whatever you say, brat."

He raised his hand and brought it up to his mouth. He quickly bit down on the area right behind his thumb. Blood busted through, and suddenly I was the ground on my ass with wide eyes.

Right beside me, a huge Titan arm rested in a fist. The muscles popped out of the arm, and were bigger than my whole body.

"What the shit?" I muttered, slowly standing up from my ass.

"Don't touch it!" My head snapped in the direction where Eren's voice came from, and I saw him sitting on the Titan arm. His right arm was no where to be seen, but it was inside the Titan's arm flesh. "It will burn you if you do."

"Eren.. What the fuck is it?"

"It's a Titan arm." He replied. He sounded like he was struggling, and held onto the arm that was inside the flesh.

"Okay. But how?"

"I'm not sure, to be honest."

I had literally no words, except for 'What?' 'How?' And 'What the shit?' How was I supposed to respond? My boyfriend's arm just turned into a freaking Titan arm. Was I supposed to be calm about this? Hell no I wasn't.

"Levi, don't freak out." He replied as calmly as he could.

"How the hell am I not supposed to freak out, Eren?! Your arm is a Titan arm!" I waved my hands towards the arm, expressing myself as I freaked out.

"It's okay! It's just temporary, watch." I watched him, and he began to pull his arm out of the flesh. He screamed as he struggled, and finally his arm came out, and he fell over the arm and onto the ground. Instantly, the arm began to steam and hot steam began to blow on my face making me quickly back away and run towards where Eren toppled over.

"See! I'm okay!" He replied when I stopped beside him. His arm was intact, but it had red stripes covered his skin.

"You don't look fucking okay, you idiot! What the hell was that?!"

"It's something I found out earlier. Weird, huh?"

"Eren. Your arm just turned into a Titan arm. Yes, that is fucking weird." I snapped, running a hand through my hair. "What the hell are you?" I didn't mean for it sound mean, but how else was I to word the much needed question?

"I-I'm still Eren. I can just, uh, turn into a Titan.. Or at least the arm." He muttered, watching the arm slowly disintegrate. "You can't tell anyone, Levi. I mean nobody."

I stared at him for a moment. I mean, of course I wouldn't tell anyone. But I know we couldn't keep this from everyone, I mean this could mean big stuff. Of course as of now, only his arm could... Do this whatever thing. But what if he could change completely into a Titan? We use him as weapon and fight our way through. We could get out of here with his power, or whatever it was.

If there's a way out...

"I won't tell anyone." I whispered, finally bending down and tending to his reddened arm. If we did tell someone, there's a chance that people would turn on him and could easily push him and maybe even myself, though I wouldn't even let him out alone, out of the gate and leave us for dead. So, I decided to listen to Eren for the first time in my life in the walls, and would keep my mouth shut.

"It can be our own little secret." He said, smirking.

"Yeah, because we don't already have enough secrets." I whispered. Even though I was the one that had the most secrets.

"Oh stop that. It's not like we really talk to many other people anyway. I like how we keep to ourselves, we don't need them." He said while playfully nudging my shoulder.

I rolled my eyes, and grabbed his hand, pulling him up on his feet. "Let's get back before someone suspects us. Plus, I'm pretty sure you left Isabel and Farlan hanging on the wires, so that's probably a good idea to go back."

"Oh, shit I did." He jumped up, grabbing my arm. I laughed as I followed him back. The day ended quickly after both Eren and I taught Isabel and Farlan some more things for fighting. Night time quickly came, and we went to sleep soon after.

Of course, I couldn't sleep. It was pitch black in the room and the window was open. I could hear the calming breeze blow into the crack of the window, and the relaxing but yet a bit annoying of the sound of the crickets in the background. Eren laid beside me, his arm draped across my stomach and his face muzzled in my neck, his warm breath hitting my cool skin. My hand ran through his brown hair, the feeling relaxing my own self. His breathing was steady, and I could tell he was asleep. He had told me when his arm changed into the Titan arm, it took a lot of energy out of him. Not enough to have him instantly drop on the ground, but enough for him to slowly walk around the yards and was nagging the whole time, telling me he wanted to sleep.

Damn, little twink.

Everything that had happened earlier in the day, is what was keeping me awake. Our brief argument, what he had showed me outside the walls especially, and some of the secrets I held back from and for him. I was keeping our relationship a secret from multiple people, and this new Titan thing. And I also had my own secret of Isabel and Farlan knowing exactly who I am, and them knowing everything that had happened before this wall thing took place. And I also had a new secret; I was slowly remembering things about myself. Not big things, but small things like my age. Some of my memories, like birthdays and some of my worst days at High school. I remembered that I lived in France. I didn't remember any people. The memories I saw in my head, was just focused on myself. Nobody else were in the memories, just me. It was the oddest thing. But as far as I knew, nobody else had the same thing going on. As far as I know, they couldn't remember anything but their name. I was afraid to tell anyone, not wanting to have anyone against me, and think I'm up to something or knows something other don't. So, I kept it to myself. I had to remind myself to ask Isabel and Farlan more questions about my past. I needed to know.

I fucking hate lies. I hate them with a passion. I like to keep everything out in the open, and tell it like it is. That's also another thing I remembered about myself. And knowing things like that, has made me realize how much I've changed since I've been here. I have a difference personality, I act different. I'm just different. And I wasn't sure if it was for the best or the worst.

Sighing, I threw my arm over my forehead. I hate thinking. All it does is make me more angry with myself, and causes horrible head aches. Fuck.

I titled my head over, gently kissing Eren's forehead. He moved a bit, but only moving closer to me, holding me tightly. He grunted, making me quietly chuckle.

"Sh." He whispered, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" I mumbled, rubbing his hair once more.

"Nah, I'm just cold." He muttered, shivering.

"Come here." I replied while bringing him closer, and pulling the blankets up beneath our chins. "Your skin is really warm, though."

"It's probably the whole titan thing..." He whispered, chuckling quietly. "Can you close the window?"

I hummed in response, quickly getting up from the bed and striding over to the window. "Damn crickets are annoying as hell anyway, holy fu-" I stopped mid sentence, hands on the window.

"What is it, Levi?" Eren asked, sitting up in the bed. "Come on, close it and come back to bed."

"Do you hear that?" I asked quietly. I moved closer to the window, listening carefully. "I hear someone."

"I can't hear anything. It's probably just the wind. Come on and cuddle me, I'm cold." He muttered, with an inpatient tone in his voice.

"Eren, I hear someone screaming. Like, blood curtailing screaming." I said quickly. I rushed to get my boots on, not even caring that I accidentally put on Eren's, though there were a bit too big. "Come on, someone's in trouble, Eren!"

He groaned, but quickly listened, grabbing some boots and muttered something about them being small. I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the cabin.

"Shit, it's coming from the gate." He said, and that's where we quickly took off. It was a female's screaming, becoming louder and louder as we got closer. "Is that Isabel?" He asked, pointing to a person who sat beside the gate.

My pace quickened, wanting to get closer if that was Isabel.

"Isabel!" I screamed, seeing her rise. It was her, crouched down by another figure who was laying down.

"Aniki! Come quick!" She called out, screaming loudly. "It's bad, the bleeding won't stop!"

We finally got to her, and I rushed to my knees as got closer. The gate was closed, for some odd reason. And there laid Farlan, beside Isabel. But the thing is, the gate was on him, the spikes on the gate had gone right through his stomach, and had easily cut him in half. Blood was everywhere, and Isabel was doing everything she could to stop the bleeding.

But he was gone.

"Isabel." I quickly said, trying to pull her away from the gate. "He's gone, Isabel. You have to leave him."

"I can't, Aniki! He needs me!" She screamed, tears streaming own her face. "I can't leave him! He said he would be right back! He needs me!"

I bit my lip, holding back the tears threatening to appear from my eyes. "Isabel, listen to me. He's gone. You need to come with me!" Her hand were holding tightly onto his stiff hand, and her free one gently caressed his face.

"He's coming back." She whispered, refusing to move.

"Levi, give her some time." I heard Eren quietly said into my ear. Helping me up from my crouching position, he led me away from the scene. "Just let her be."

"He's dead, Eren. He's dead."
