Chapter Fourteen。
Unedited :(
Levi's POV
"Alright, spill."
"If you really want me to tell you everything, we're going to be up all night."
"I'm off work tomorrow, I've got time."
"Maybe I don't have time."
Kira glared at me, drumming her fingers against the counter. "I will glue you down to that chair if that's what's going to make you tell me."
"It probably won't work."
She gritted her teeth together, opening a drawer and pulling out a large kitchen knife.
"Still not going to work."
She groaned, putting the knife away. "God, what's going to work then?"
Smirking, I raised an eyebrow. "Nothing."
"Levi, you're impossible."
"I try."
"Please?" She was begging now. "You told me you would tell me everything forever ago, I think now is the perfect time."
"What makes now the perfect time? This could be the worst time."
"No, this is the perfect time. It's quiet, Eren is asleep, I'm off from work tomorrow, it's perfect." She replied, flattening her hands against the counter and leaned back from the surface.
I rolled my eyes. "You never give up, do you?"
"Nope."
"Funny, neither do I. Pass me the cigarette box, will ya?" I asked, nodding my head to my cigarette box on the counter.
She glared at me while reached her hand to the side to grab the box and tossed it towards me, where I sat at the counter seat. "I don't usually let people smoke in here, but if this will make you tell me, I'll let you."
"You're too sweet." I muttered, hitting the box against my thigh to get all the tobacco evened out.
"Start from the beginning. Where did you come from?" She pressed, lifting an eyebrow towards me.
I scoffed, picking out a cigarette with the tips of my fingers, pulling it out. "I'm from a place that was definitely not all too pretty."
"Go on."
I rolled my eyes and stuck the cigarette between my lips before using my lighter to light it. "I am from a place people call The Underground. To sum the place all up, it was where all the poor people live, who can't even afford toilet paper."
She stared at me, expectantly and telling me to continue. I sighed, not knowing where else to go with the story since I've never had to tell this story before.
I removed the fag from my mouth to let out a small amount of smoke before shifting in my seat. "When I was around eight or nine, or whatever, my mother got severely ill, and passed away. I believe she got sick from lack of sun light, or something. My uncle, or whatever that piece of shit was to me, took me in since I had no where else to go. He taught me how to defend myself, and how to survive." Kira cut me off.
"So you were learning how to fight at like nine years old?!"
I glared at her, flicking some of the cigarette's ashes into the spare cup she had lend me. "Yes, Kira. I had to. Now can I get back to the story?"
"Sorry, sorry, go on."
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, and continued. "Anyway, when I was around eleven or twelve, Kenny - my uncle - decided I was able to defend for myself, and he was gone one day. I was alone for a few weeks, until I met some other younger people and I was able to tag along with them. A year later, we found an empty house, and we lived there for some years."
"How did just a few kids live in a house without the police coming to you?" She asked, cutting me off again.
I narrowed my eyes at her, taking a quick smoke. "There were no damn police then. Not in The Underground, that is. The police didn't dare step a foot into The Underground."
She raised her eyebrows. "Were there many crimes, then?"
"Of course there were. Mostly people robbing others, and murders."
"And you kids were living there with all that?"
I snorted, flicking at some more ashes. "We committed most of them." I glanced at her worried face, and corrected myself. "Robberies of course. We never did kill anyone, unless it was self defense. Even then, didn't happen often."
She blinked a few times in confusion, but slowly nodded. "Where was Eren in all this?"
I held up a finger. "I'm getting there. Eren wasn't even born yet." I ignored her confused expression, and carried on with my story. "Long story short to summarize The Underground, myself and two of my friends were caught. We were given a decision, and we chose to join the military."
"The military?! This story just keeps getting even more bazaar by the second!" She exclaimed, eyes widened.
"Kira, I swear to god." I held my forehead in the palm of my free hand, and shook my head. "You need to realize this happened a long time ago. Before you ask how long ago, let me finish this story. Then you can ask all of your questions." I knew she would still butt in and scream, even if she did agree.
I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the counter and took another quick smoke. I wasn't a too big of a fan of the next part of the story.
"Once we joined the military, and went through a shit ton of training, we were supposed to finally go out and fight. Erwin led us -"
"Erwin?! Isn't that the douche canoe you spoke of the other day?!" She gripped her hands into tight fists.
I blinked slowly at her, pressed the butt of my cigarette into the cup, finally finished with it. "Yes. That is him. And I would rather not talk about him and what he's done."
Her expression softened. "Right. Sorry."
I cleared my throat, leaning back into my seat and folded my arms. "He led us outside of the wall, and into war. We had to fight and many of our teams lives were lost." I bit the inside of my cheek. "Including my two friends."
Kira was finally cooperating and didn't butt in, but had a sorry look in her eye. I swallowed the lump in my throat, grabbing at another cigarette.
"About a year afterwards, we had a huge group of trainees. Some went to the Police, the some went to be Guards, others joined the Military. Not many, but there were some. Eren was one of them. Eren had... An ability that could be useful for the Military, so he was to join."
"An ability?" Kira asked, grabbing a red apple from the fruit bowl. "What kind of ability?"
I sighed, not wanting to get into that. But I had said I would tell her everything. "Ever heard of a Titan?"
She took a bite from her apple and gave me an odd look. "No? Well, actually, yeah. There's a video game called Titan Fall."
I furrowed my eyebrows at her. I scratched the top of my head in confusion. "Um, yeah. Like that, I guess." I had no idea what the fuck Titan Fall is, but it'll work. "Eren had the ability to turn into one. And that's also what we were fighting against; Titans."
Her eyes widened. "He could turn into a Titan?! Oh my god, that's the coolest thing ever! So he had the big gun and everything?"
I titled my head to the side, in just awful confusion. "Yeah... He had a gun. Sure."
"Oh my fucking God, so cool. Please go on."
"Anyway, he could turn into one, and was able to fight against them so he was good use for our team and whatnot. Uh, so that was basically it about that."
"Absolutely fantastic. What about those funky uniforms you two were wearing. What were those for?"
"We were all to wear those uniforms. We also had something called 3D Maneuver Gear, which helped us get to area to area quickly, and helped us get to a better position to kill the Titans."
Her smile widened and she took a huge bite from her apple. "You got to kill the Titans? Oh man, you guys must have had the biggest guns and shit."
"Yeah, uh, we totally did." I muttered, not sure what kind of image was going on in her head.
"Absolutely amazing." She said in awe, throwing the core of her Apple in the trash bin. "Okay, so why didn't you guys know what a bathroom was, or even a TV? Or even a cell phone?"
I chuckled lightly, flicking at the ashes of my cigarette. "Where we came from, was in year 850."
Her facial expression turned to surprise. "Wha? Wait, okay. So, you're like really old or something?"
I rolled my eyes. "Not really, I don't know. Eren and I, and some others I guess, woke up here. We died many years ago, and we some how woke up here after so long."
"Okay, hard to take in. But I'll act like I understand..." She muttered.
I sighed loudly. "I don't expect you to understand suddenly. But I'm speaking the truth. Ever heard of the term reincarnation?"
"Yeah, I think so. Isn't where people die and wake up as an animal or something?"
I blinked a few times at her and sighed. "I guess? But not animals in this case. Eren and I woke up in the same place, but in a complete different century."
Her eyes widened once again and smiled. "For real?! That's so awesome! Is it possible to change into an animal though?" She asked, smirking.
I rolled my eyes. "I don't know, Kira. We didn't turn into animals is all I know, but I uh... I did wake up in a different body."
She raised an eyebrow. "For real? What did your other body look like?"
I shrugged. "Not much different from I look like now. Just some minor differences."
That's all I was going to tell her right now. I wasn't quite ready to tell her the whole story. She wasn't someone I could fully trust yet. Not saying it wouldn't ever happen, just not now. It's not like it should be easy to tell someone you haven't always had a vagina and boobs. I mean, that's just not a normal thing.
So I had left it at that, told her if to save more questions for another time, told her goodnight and went to the bedroom. Eren was snuggled up to one of the many pillows on the bed, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was using the pillow instead of me.
Sighing, I gripped the pillow out of his grasp and replaced it with myself. He was quick to lay his head on my shoulder and wrap his arm around my stomach.
"I was wondering when you would finally come to bed." He whispered, making me jump at realization he was still awake.
"God, you douche. You scared the shit right outta me." I said while catching my breath. Eren chuckled, looking up at me. "Kira and I talked for awhile."
He blinked once. "Did you tell her about us?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I-I mean about our life before."
"Yeah. I tried to, anyway. She was thinking of some video game the whole time, though. So I don't think her and I got too far."
"She's got some weird imagination." Eren whispered to no one in particular, hovering over me. "Did you tell her about you?"
I shook my head once before answering. "No. Not yet. I may tell her soon, though."
He nodded, glancing at around the room. The dim moon light shone in from a crack in the blinds at the window, giving me a pretty view of Eren's face. His green eyes seemed to glow, and it made my stomach did a weird flop.
I weaved a finger under the crew neck of his shirt, giving it a tug towards me. His eyes snapped in my direction. "Come here for a sec." I whispered.
He was quick to lean in towards me while wearing a questionable expression. I pulled him closer until I could feel his cool breath hit my face. My face slid from his shirt to behind his head, knotting my fingers into his messy, brown hair. I smirked as his eyes widened.
"I like your eyes." I said.
Even though it was dark in the room, I could tell his face had flushed dark. The way his eyes instantly moved from mine and bounced around the room proved it. "L-Levi, you don't have to say such things."
"And why can't I?" I asked, titling my head to the side. "You're the one who asked me on a date. The least I can do is give you a few compliments, right?"
His mouth opened and then closed, and repeated. He was lost for words, so I fixed that. I planted my lips onto his, breathing in sharply when I came into contact with his soft lips. I hated to be cheesy, but the way his full lips molded with my thin ones, just seemed like they fit perfectly together. That thought alone sent some more butterflies to fly in my stomach.
It wasn't the most perfect kiss, teeth were involved, noses were bumping each other, but even so, I liked it. The way I could feel his chest move from breathing deeply, the way the tips of his bangs tickled my forehead, the way his hands were awkwardly trying to find an appropriate spot which ended up being my jaw, and the way he and I put so much affection into such a short and gentle kiss.
It only lasted for a quick few seconds, but those seconds were a beautiful few moments.
He gave me a sweet smile before leaning back in to lay his head down on my shoulder, and closed his eyes.
"G'Night."
"Night."

Eren's POV
"It's done." I muttered, removing the phone from my ear.
"Fucking finally." Levi muttered beside me.
"Took you long enough. I was going to have to take matters in my own hands."
"Hanji, calm your shit." Levi replied, rolling his eyes. "If you would have done anything, he would have been dead."
"Exactly!" Hanji exclaimed.
Armin chuckled nervously. "W-Well, we wouldn't want to have any murders going down. That would only make things worse."
I glanced over at Levi, who was staring at his hands that sat in his lap. I poked him with my elbow to get his attention. "You know you're going to have to speak with the police, right?"
He nodded, looking up at me from under his eyelashes. "I know. It'll be fine."
I nodded, though I knew he wasn't telling the complete truth. I knew he would turn into a nervous wreck while speaking with the police about such a scary event. I knew he hated to even think about what Erwin did to him, and hated worse about talking about it.
Basically what just happened, Levi and I visited the house Armin currently stayed at, and I called the police on Erwin. We found out the douchey eyebrowed man found a place to stay just in the next neighborhood, so I was quick to get ahold of the police and get his ass sent to prison. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel weird sending my Commander, (can I say ex Commander?) to prison, because I did feel a bit odd. But if that's what I had to deal to get revenge, and make Levi feel safe, I would do it in a heartbeat.
"Armin?" I asked quietly, turning my face towards the small blonde boy who sat in front of me on the recliner. He turned his eyes to me, wearing a small smile. "Did he ever do something to you?"
His smile disappeared, but shook his head. "No, he never did. But, he did try to. But it wasn't anything serious, he wasn't trying to force anything."
I nodded, biting at my bottom lip. I ran a hand through my hair, relieved that Armin had been safe.
"Erwin was only attracted me." Levi spoke up, receiving all attention from us. "Him and I were a couple when we were in the Military. We were actually not all that bad of a couple, we were together for nearly 7 months. But one day after an argument, we started have sex but he was starting to be a little... Too rough with me. So I started telling him to stop, to get off of me. It was obvious he heard me, but he just..." Levi shrugged sadly, playing with his fingers. "Wouldn't stop..."
I wrapped my arms around his small frame, pulling him closer to me. I didn't care if I were to receive some questionable glances from either Hanji or Armin, I just wanted Levi to feel comforted.
Levi sighed into my chest, patting my arm that was wrapped around him and sent a smile towards me. "Thanks." He muttered.
I let him go, smiling back at him. I glanced at the other two were sending me gentle looks.
I blew out a quick blow of air and slapped my thighs. "Let's get out of this depressing aura. Um, have any you seen anymore from the walls?"
Armin shook his head, looking upset. "I thought I saw Jean boy the other day, but it ended up being someone else with weird hair." Hanji said, chuckling.
"Maybe we can go check at the horse stables and see if he's there." I replied while snickering.
"Hey. Do you think Isabel and Farlan are maybe alive?" Levi muttered.
I glanced at him, and smiled. "There's a possibility. Maybe we'll find them."
Levi only shrugged before sighing. "I don't wanna get my hopes up high. We could be the only ones here. I don't wanna go around looking for someone who's dead."
"Hey, don't talk like that. I'm sure we aren't the ones here. It's okay to get your hopes up a little, just be positive." I replied while poking his shoulder.
"You guys are cute." Hanji cooed, smiling huge.
I could feel my face flush, and I could only react by smiling faintly. "Thanks."
Levi groaned loudly beside me, pushing my arms away from him and stood up from the couch. "You guys are so awkward. Let's go do something, like go get drunk or some shit. Maybe go to a party."
I lightly kicked his leg with my foot and sucked my teeth loudly. "Hope about we just chill instead? Besides, we're all too young now besides Hanji." I pointed out. "We probably can't even get into a party without having to have some ID, which we don't even have."
Levi grumbled a bit, before stomping off into an unknown direction. "I'm gonna go take a shit. Sounds more exciting than you guys, anyway."
I rolled my eyes at his retreating back. "Idiot."
