Chapter Seven

Eren froze slightly at the question, thinking about the correct answer. he had never really experienced love. His parents had died at young age and he didn't remember them well enough to describe love. "I-I'm not sure..." Eren started, "I've never really felt it, but I imagine it's amazing. My friend Armin described it to me once though. He said it was like walking on air, you never have to worry because you know that the person you love will always help you. There would never be bad days because you knew that whenever you got home that your love would be there and make everything better. It's...magical. Like no other feeling in the world." Eren said.

Levi nodded slowly and averted his eyes. "It sounds amazing. I wish I could feel that...magic." He muttered the last word to himself and he put his index finger against his bottom lip lost in thought. Memories of his childhood came back---Levi looked up at his father, fear filling his eyes as the man was handed a large wad of cash from someone. The stranger grabbed Levi roughly by the collar of his shirt and pulled him off the ground. The small Levi had a gash on his right cheek and let out a fearful yelp as the man's rough hands grabbed him, looking at Levi with a sadistic smirk on his lips. The rest of Levi's life was filled with rape and fear, which cause him to hide his emotions and rarely trust anyone.

"I do too." Eren mumbled under his breath, starting to think about his childhood. He didn't even really know why but the memories hit his mind like a train. He remembered living in the orphanage for the first few years after his parents death; All the beatings and tautings from the other kids, breaking out and having to do things similiar to Levi just to pay for his necessities, except he was younger and couldn't actually work as a pole dancer. He remembered having to sell out his body to perverts in exchange for a wad of cash to make it until the money ran out, then he'd start all over again.His past was one of the reasons he was afraid he would see someone who had used him before. He was lucky enough not to have seen anyone he recognized.

Levi gasped softly, looking around quickly before looking softly at Eren. "O-Oh sorry...I-I'll walk you o-out now." He silently cursed the fear and stuttering in his voice. He quickly turned away and covered his face. "I-I'm s-sorry." He started feeling weak when he showed this many emotions.

"It's fine Levi..." Eren spoke softly, "don't worry about it." Eren wanted Levi to not feel so vulnerable in front of him. He had no idea why, but he just wanted to keep Levi safe. He didn't give a damn about anyone else in this hell-hole, just Levi. 'Why would this happen now?' Eren thought to himself. It's not like there's anything wrong with Levi, he just didn't think he could ever feel anything for anyone after he stopped selling himself out to people.

Levi uncovered his face slowly and looked up at Eren. "R-Really?" He was confused as to why this kid seemed to care about him so much. No one had even shown slight care or concern for him before. Something warm began to grow in him and he wondered if it was what Eren had described as love.

Eren nodded slowly. "Y-Yeah." Eren answered. Eren knew what it felt like to have no one to care, and he didn't want Levi to feel that way. Though, he did start to have a warm feeling in his chest. 'It feels so...fulfilling.' Eren thought. It felt like he was eating warm, chocolate chip cookies. It felt so wonderful. Eren didn't know exactly how to describe the feeling, but he liked it.

Levi nodded and looked at the boy. "Th-Thank you Eren." He heard an angry growl noise behind him and froze, knowing it was his boss. The man walked over to Levi, ignoring Eren. "Oi, slut! I thought I told you to get rid of this brat and meet me in my office!" Levi looked at the taller man, shaking once again. "I-I'm sorry."
