Author's note~ I will tell you when to press play...

"It's nothing, how are you feeling?" Levi asked helping Eren sit up. "Just a tad dizzy with a dash of headache." Eren joked still propped up against Levi for support. Eren seemed to be leaning in towards Levi more than he needed to. He looked at peace in the older man's arms."Shit! How long was I out for?" Eren said realizing that he had blacked out again, in school of all places. "We're only about ten minutes into math class." Jean said checking his phone. "Why are you still here?" Eren asked. "I was making sure you were okay."

"I should send you both back to class now, here is a note for both of you for math." Levi said handing Eren the first note that excused both of their tardiness . "Jean here is a note for Mike, it excuses Eren from P.E. AKA interrogation time from Mike. Could you give it to him so Eren doesn't have to walk all the way down there and all the way back?" Levi said handing Jean the second note. "Sure thing." Jean said putting the note in his pocket. "By the way we aren't done talking. I am coming back after school to finish our and Eren's little chat." Jean said before leaving the classroom and waiting in the hall for Eren.

Press Play

Once both the boys were gone Levi sat down at his desk. He put his head in his hands trying to clear away the horrific memories that were starting to resurface. "Seriously how could a pair of scissors be so damn triggering." Levi said knowing exactly what caused the painful memories to come back so suddenly. 'Some of the blades they used out there were as dull as the blades from an over used pair of scissors. Some of the others were sharpened to the point where you didn't feel any pain at first. Others were jagged and ripped your skin apart with agonizing pain.' Levi's thoughts went back to his time in the survey corp, when him and his friends were getting tortured.

'I remember the screams of agony my friends made while I sat by unable to stop those monsters. I remember the smell of burning flesh as they stuck Gunther's limbs in the fire, and eventually his head. I remember the strong smell of Iron, blood, as they ripped out Oluo's teeth and cut out his tongue. He choked to death on his own blood. I remember the shrieks of pain as they pulled Petra's nails off, and when they ran out of nails they strangled her to death. I had to listen to her choking on her own breath as she fought for her life, but to no avail. I remember the pleading to stop as they cut off Eld's fingers and toes. I remember he was going to bleed out but before he could they cut out his heart. I remember as they grabbed the dull knife and slowly cut Isabel's head off. She was alive until almost the very end, until she choked on her blood. I remember as they water boarded Farlan until he drowned.' 

'I remember what they did to each and every one of my squad members, my friends, my family. The things they did to me don't even compare, all they did was run a few of the different types of blades over my body until I almost blacked out from loss of blood. The worst thing they did to me was they made me watch, listen, and sit in the blood of my now deceased friends. That was all they did to break me, but it didn't break me in the way they hoped. Instead of me giving up the classified information, I managed to use the blood to slide the handcuffs off my arm, I killed those monsters.' 

'They were no longer human, they were monsters. They made me watch helplessly as they took the only people I ever cared about. They slowly tortured and killed all my friends, yet all they did was give me a few cuts and bruises, they made me regret my existence.' Levi's thoughts were going wild and spiraling out of control. He couldn't stop himself from remembering the truly dreadful things done to him and his friends. Levi's thoughts proceeded, until there was a knock on his classroom door.
