After we got back in the dorm we had instantly laid down in Levi's bed after the long stressful day we had. Both of us were in agreement that we needed a nap. He had set an alarm so we could get dinner and go out to the field. He was determined to go out there tonight no matter what. He had said despite not hearing any super concerning thoughts that people could always change their mind for the worst.

We woke up and did just that stopping at the cafeteria before heading out and sitting on the field. We laid the blanket down on the field and I pulled out some pencils and erasers and set them down in front of me.

"Are you going to write? I think you went a little overboard with the pencils, I mean I get having one or two maybe even three, but you have at least 10 there." Levi said with a confused look.

"No I'm gonna practice my powers," I said and Levi pulled out his headphones really fast.

"I wouldn't use the pencils," he said quickly. "Or at least none of the ones that are actually sharpened."

"Why?"

"Well Hanji said you can control gravity meaning making things lighter and heavier, you don't want to accidentally shish kabob your leg or something."

I looked down at the pencils and nodded before breaking off the points "you've got a point there," I laughed awkwardly, "one trip to Hanji today was enough."

"Yeah, besides we don't want to hear them lecture us for like the 5th time today," Levi said before looking at the small erasers I had grabbed. "Why don't you start with those?"

"Yeah, that's probably best," I looked at the eraser that was no bigger than a fingernail. "How hard could it be?"

I was a fool. A fool, I jinxed myself. How hard could it be, I was asking for trouble with that sentence. I said that over an hour ago and apparently it's was actually really difficult. My brain hurt trying to figure out what exactly I did that made that damn book float in the first place. I threw myself back on the blanket in defeat. Levi looked up from his book with a little smile over his face.

"You'll get it eventually, don't worry. Powers aren't just learned in one day," he said trying to be comforting.

"Says the man who is reading without even touching the damn book," I said staring at the book that was floating in front of him.

"Hey, do you know how long it took me to be able to do stuff like this?" He asked shaking his head. "It takes practice."

"You think I'd have plenty of practice with making things float hell I was able to make myself float, or should I say weightless? I'm not really sure anymore."

"And that's your problem," Levi said putting the bookmark in the book and setting it down on the blanket without ever lifting a finger. "You're doubting yourself you keep questioning how you did it before and second-guessing yourself."

"I mean how could I not. I thought I had levitation powers and now all of a sudden I can control gravity? That's a big difference and I have no clue how to go about this."

"Well, how did you make the book float? What emotion were you feeling?

I took a minute to think before shrugging, "panic mostly."

"Oh, sorry," Levi said probably remembering he was the one who threw it in the first place.

"Well I don't think being panicked every time you use your power is a good thing," Levi mumbled before thinking about it.

"Well, how did you make yourself float?"

"I just imagined myself being lifted off the ground like I was weightless," I said before shaking my head and mentally dismissing it. I mean that's different that's when I thought my powers were levitation so I doubt the same rules apply.

"Maybe the same rules do apply?" Levi suggested but his tone sounded a little unsure. "I mean, maybe your powers kinda work like mine?" He said and I remember what Hanji said the first day of class. She was saying that some people have similar powers but they might differ slightly depending on how they work or their strength. She compared mine to Levi's.

"Oh, she did? Well then maybe I am on to something," Levi said before setting the erasers in front of me and some in front of himself. "So for my power when I first started to use it I used to have to move my hands with it. If I wanted this eraser to lift up what I would have to do is stand back a little stretch my arm out towards it and think that I was lifting it up normally even though I wasn't touching it. Eventually, that started to work." He said demonstrating by lifting the erasers up. "From there I was able to learn the more complicated stuff but I had to start with a basic understanding of how to do it."

"What do you mean? I understood what he was saying but I need him to clarify how that might work with my power.

"Well, you said you would imagine yourself being lifted off the ground right? So maybe you have to imagine these being lifted off the ground like they are weightless. You have to focus on them and put the emotions you felt into lifting yourself up into lifting up the erasers."

I nodded and looked at one of the erasers. The same emotions. I looked at the eraser and imagine it being lifted up like it was weightless the same way I imagined myself doing so.

It worked... a little too well.

"What the fuck just happened?" Levi asked as the eraser that was just sitting in front of us on the blanket shot up into the sky so fast that we almost didn't see it disappear.

"Well, I did what you said, but I think the problem was I'm a lot heavier than the eraser, so maybe I needed to account for that and put a little less effort into lifting it up," I said before looking into the sky where the eraser had vanished.

"Ya think?" Levi laughed before looking up at the stars. "Well, do you think you would be able to bring it back down? Or is it just gone?" He asked with a little smile.

"I can try, but I don't really know it's probably gone."

I imagined the same heavy feeling I always feel on my shoulders and put it to the eraser or at least I tried too. Nothing happened for a moment. "Maybe it's just gone?" I asked before the eraser came down so fast it took a moment to figure out exactly what happened. I looked down and there was a hole ripped into the blanket and it looked like it went far into the ground.

"We could have died," Levi said pale-faced looking at the size of the hole in the blanket. "That came down like a bullet."

"Um, maybe I should have just tried to restore its normal gravity?" Levi looked at the hole before back to me.

"Ya think? Eren, I don't feel like dying tonight, please don't do that again," he said before letting out a long sigh and mumbling, "you're going to be the death of me."

"I wanna try again, but this time I won't try to make it heavier I'll just return it to normal," I promised him as he stared at me with a glare.

"I swear if you kill me, I will haunt the shit out of you, hell I'll sic Ymir on you." He said before letting out a sigh. "Okay try again," he said before backing up a little this time.

"Okay," I said taking a deep breath. I tried to make it a little lighter than before, however, it still wasn't easy enough. It flew into the air it was a little slower than last time but it was quickly out of sight in the stars again. I tried to just put it back to normal but after a moment still nothing. We both looked at the sky for a moment before Levi turned his eyes to me.

Maybe if I just slightly increase the grav-.

"Just count your losses don't you dare do that again," he said reading my thoughts.

"Okay, fair enough. I said leaning forward to grab another eraser. I felt something pelt me in the head like a pebble getting thrown at me and saw as the eraser bounced back on the blanket. I rubbed my head where it hit me but looked back up at Levi with a smile, "it worked."

"Yeah it worked, and aren't you glad I stopped you from increasing gravity, it would have killed you," Levi said I could feel the panic radiating off his body.

"How about we try something that might make it a little easier," Levi took a deep breath to try and calm himself. "Pick up an eraser," he said and I did just that. "Now feel how heavy it is. Focus on its weight."

"Okay," I said closing my eyes and focusing solely on the eraser in my hand.

"Okay, do you have a general idea of its weight?" Levi asked.

"Yeah kinda," I said opening my eyes.

"Alright now try and make it float again, but keep focusing on its weight try not to make it launch into the sky.

I took a deep breath and imagined the eraser slowly getting weightless and to my surprise, it actually worked this time. It had started slowly floating above my hand and was slowly lifting into the air.

"Awesome, you did it, babe," he said and I felt my cheeks heat up.

"It was all thanks to your help," I said back before letting the eraser falling into my hand. Hmm, I wonder. I thought before increasing gravity gradually.

I felt as my hand started to feel heavier. I wanted to make sure I was increasing the gravity on the eraser rather than on my hand so I dropped the eraser out of my hand. Dumb move it landed on my foot.

"Son of a bitch," I said before pulling my show off and seeing a bruise already starting to form.

"Hey it could have been worse," Levi shrugged, "you could have died earlier so I would say that's an improvement."

"Yeah, but how can I get one right but the other really wrong? I mean that felt like I dropped a 10-pound weight on my foot."

"Well, you never really used that side of your powers on purpose before today, so I mean I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't have total control over it." Levi shrugged before taking a look at my new bruise. "Maybe you should wait to work on that one with the teachers, or at least keep and body parts out of the way of any objects you do test it on."

"Yeah, that's probably smart," I said rubbing my foot before letting out a yawn. I was starting to get a headache and I was getting even more tired.

"You're not used to using your powers this much so yeah, it's going to zap your energy." Levi said before patting one of his legs, "here laid down you should take a break," he said and I happily laid my head in his lap. I closed my eyes and just listened to the sounds of the night. To my surprise, I actually didn't fall asleep this time, but I did get rid of my headache by resting my eyes and my mind.

I opened my eyes and just watched as Levi read. I watched the floating book as the pages turned by themselves every once in a while. I watched how he would smile to himself every once in a while about something he read.

He looked down at me after a while, "your thoughts are so cheesy," he said with an embarrassed smile.

"What I can't think about how amazing you look," I asked and he just rolled his eyes before leaning down and pressing his lips to mine.

"Flattery with get you nowhere," he said after pulling away from the kiss.

"Really because I think flattery just got me a kiss."

He rolled his eyes a little and just smile, "whatever." He said before turning back towards his book.

"So how long did it take you to master your powers?" I asked and Levi looked back to me.

"I still haven't. I have barely any control over two of my three powers," he sighed.

"Well what about the third power, you have a lot of control over that one."

"Only when I'm in a clear state of mind. If not I have no control."

"Well, how long did it take you to get control of it for the most part? Like how long did it take you to be able to use your power without much thought?"

"About a week," Levi shrugged.

"I thought you said it took a while?"

"It did, I mean kinda. I worked for a week straight with barely any breaks aside from sleeping to master my powers. It was because I had a lot of free time and didn't want to be stuck in my thoughts so I kept myself busy and kept myself working. There is only so much you can do in a hospital bed," Levi said before stopping abruptly.

"You don't have to talk about that," I said looking up at Levi who looked like he was overthinking what to say next.

He took a deep breath, "It was after the car accident," he said taking another deep breath before shaking his head. "Sorry I thought I might be able to talk a little bit about it, but I guess not," he sighed.

I sat up and wrapped my arms around him, "it's okay, thank you for telling me what you did. It's progress," I smiled repeating the words he had said to me earlier.

"I guess we both need practice. You with your powers and me opening up," Levi said with a little smile.

"We can do it with each other's help."

"Yeah," Levi said leaning his head against my shoulder.
