Song: Super Junior - It's You.
Yeah, I'm bringing back an older Korean song, aha. It's catchy and chill.

Eren's POV

      My eyes slowly fluttered open at the sound of a door closing. I assumed it was a door from deeper into the house, since no one was at the front door. I took in my surroundings and realized I was still currently cuddled up against Levi who was fast asleep and cuddled into my side, his head resting on my chest. His gentle breathing tickled my neck, but it was calming me. He looked at ease right now, but I knew it would be a whole other story when he woke up.

"Oh, hey, Eren." I heard Kira's sleepy voice coming from behind the couch. I looked up and saw her rubbing her eyes, getting the sleep out of them. She had a confused expression on her face when she took another look at Levi and I cuddled against each other. "So, what's going on there?"

I sighed, not wanting to mention what happened to Levi last night, knowing I would get pissed off again at the mere thought of Erwin. But I didn't want to leave Kira in the dark, not after all she's helped us with. "You may want to sit down if you really wanna know."

She raised an eyebrow but did as I said and walked around the couch and sat in the recliner that sat in front of the couch.  I noticed she was fully dressed, probably all ready for work. "Everything okay?" She asked, pulling her legs up to her chest. I swallowed the lump down my throat, getting it out of the way so I could tell the horrible story. Kira was quiet as she listened, but sporting some angry expressions when I told her what happened to Levi. "That fucking bastard." She finally responded when I finished. Kira never had met Erwin, and didn't know much about him besides that Levi, Hanji and I have known him for a long time, and now she knew that he was an absolutely bastard just as Kira had said.

I nodded sadly, glancing at the sleeping Levi in my arms. He was still currently naked, but was covered up with a separate blanket. I wanted him to have his privacy even if he was asleep.

"You should contact the police, Eren. Or at least someone should." Kira responded, frowning. "You can't let him get away with doing something like that."

I knew she was right, calling the police has been on my mind ever since Armin called me last night. But it wasn't my place to just pick up the phone and get them to rush to Erwin's house. I knew I had to ask Levi first, no matter how much I knew I needed to get Erwin out of here. "I know, we'll it all sorted out after Levi and I speak." I responded to her.

She nodded, and stood from her seat. She bent down to give a gentle kiss to Levi's forehead. "I have to get to work before I'm late. So I'll leave you two alone. Do me a favor and don't let him out of your sight? He may be in a bit of shock when he wakes up and not really aware of what's going on, alright?" She whispered, rubbing my shoulder.

I nodded. "Of course. Have a good day." After that, she had left the house. The house quickly became quiet when the door shut behind her, besides the subtle, even breathing from Levi. I sighed, getting more comfortable on the couch. The couch wasn't the most comfortable thing to sleep on, and I regretting having the two of us sleep here instead of the bedroom just down the hall, but it was the closest surface to us at the time last night. I scooted down on the cushions, wrapping my arm around waist, coming in contact with his bare, soft skin and I remembered he was still naked. I quickly snapped my hand back, wanting to give him his privacy especially considering the events that happened the previous night. I kept my hands to myself, but buried my face into his soft hair. I could smell the shampoo he used, filling my nose and it smelled delightful.

I could have easily closed my eyes and fallen asleep in just a few moments, considering that I hardly got any sleep last night, angry thoughts running through my head throughout the whole night. But I wanted to keep my eyes on him, just in case he were to wake up while I was asleep. I didn't want him to wake up alone, scared. So I kept myself awake and distracted by blowing a few stranded hairs from Levi's head. After a few minutes, he stirred in his sleep, his arms coming out from under the blanket, pulling the blanket down a bit. His bare shoulders and collar bones were on full display now, and I saw some red marks near the two sharp bones under his neck. I furrowed my eyebrows at the negative view, assuming that happened last night. I didn't like seeing Levi like this. I knew Levi never really looked too happy, but I would prefer his angry and sarcastic side rather than this side of him any day.

Yawning, I reached over him in attempt to grab my cell phone from the coffee table that was right in front of the couch. My fingers were just out of reach, and I leaned forward and finally reached it. My arm brushed against his chest as I pulled my arm back once I grabbed the device. My arm had pulled down the blanket some more on his chest, and glanced at my mistake. I went to cover him back up, seeing that he had goosebumps appearing on his milky white skin. But I stopped mid motion. I furrowed my eyebrows at the confusing view. The blanket had moved down quite a bit, and most of his chest was showing now which shouldn't be such a big deal at all, but the odd thing that I was looking at, was a long line going down the center of his chest. The blanket seemed to be resting on something a bit higher than the rest of his chest, which was a bit weird of a sight. If I wasn't mistaken, I would have sworn I was looking at-

"Eren?" Levi's voice startled me from my confused thoughts. My view snapped up at his face and his eyes were wide open, looking around the room. He looked completely confused, and almost a bit scared.

"Yeah?" I responded quickly, placing my phone on my the head of the couch so I could focus more on the smaller man beside me. "Hey, I'm right here."

His glance followed the sound of my voice and his scared expression slipped away for only a second before it quickly returned. He started to pant loudly, and gripped the blanket tightly. "I- wha-..." He couldn't find any words to speak.

"Hey, hey, hey. Relax, you're okay." I comfortable whispered to him. "Look at me, you're fine." He swallowed hard, sitting up on the couch. He pulled the blanket up to his neck and looking around the room frantically.

"No, no, no, no, no." He said quickly and shook his head. "Eren, you have to get him out of here!"

"Hey, Levi!" I sat up on the couch, too and put my hand on his. "No one is here, it's just me. He isn't here, alright? You're safe." As soon as I said the last sentence, it seemed like he just lost it. He started to sob and he gripped the blanket tightly to him as he slipped off the couch, but tripped and fell to the floor beside the couch. My eyes widened, quickly removing myself from the furniture and helping him up.

"Don't say that! I'm not safe anymore! He's going to find me!" He screamed in horror, moving away from me. He looked absolutely scared to death as tears rolled down his cheeks and he was shaking.

I stepped closer to him slowly, bending down to my haunches. "Levi, shh. Look, no one is going to find you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. No one is coming to this house, no one is coming to get you. Okay?" My voice was calm as I could get it, not wanting to scare him anymore.

He stared at me for a long moment. His stance seemed to relax and his sobbing turned to hiccups. His eyes were glued to me for the longest time before I started to step closer to him. He stance stiffened for the quickest moment as I got closer but soon relaxed again when I sent him a calm expression. On the inside, I was freaking out. I have never seen him Levi in the state before, and it scared me. Not near as scared as he seemed to be, though.

He put a hand to his forehead, sweat forming there. "What happened, Eren?"

I bit the inside of my cheek, holding myself back from lashing out about Erwin. I didn't know if I should actually answer his question, and tell him what really did happen. I knew if I told him, he'd only become more scared and frightened. "We can talk about that later, okay? How about you get a shower and change into some clothes?" I calmly responded.

He nodded, attempting to stand up but only falling down again with a whimper. I rushed to help him back up again. He was still shaking in my arms, barely holding himself up. He was extremely weak.

"Do want something to eat real quick?" I figured food may strengthen him up slightly, even if just enough to have him stand up on his own. He nodded slowly, holding tightly onto my arm and his other hand on the blanket wrapped around his body. I took him back to the couch, slowly having sit down. "Just stay right here, and I'll get something for you real quick."

He kept his eyes on me as I jogged to the kitchen to grab some cereal for him along with a glass of water. I knew water and cereal didn't really seem to mix well, but he needed some water in system. I sprinkled some sugar in his cereal, hoping this would all help him strengthen up a bit. I brought it all back to him, and he was quick to start eating. There was a long silence that neither of us really wanted to break, but I was itching to ask my question. I knew my question had absolutely nothing to do with anything, but probably just make matters worse.

"Eren, go ahead and say something." Levi muttered, eyeing my leg that was shaking as I was sitting down. I always wiggled my leg when I was trying told myself back from saying something. "It's obvious that you want to say something to me."

I sucked my teeth loudly, stopping my leg. I folded my hands together in my lap and averted my eyes away from his. I couldn't say what I wanted to say while looking at his frightened eyes. "Uh," was the amazing way I started out my small speech. "Well, when you were asleep... I accidentally pulled down your blanket a bit when I was reaching for my phone." Nope, stop it, Eren. You're only going to get yourself slapped. "And um.. I noticed you had something odd on your... Chest?" It came out as a question, even though it really wasn't even one. I bit my tongue, hopeful that it would help me to not say anything more. I had already fucked up with saying all I have, but I needed to stop.

I saw Levi look away from me quickly, tugging at his blanket to make it higher up to his neck. "What did you see?" He whispered, putting his spoon down.

I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. "I don't know?" What did I see? I definitely wasn't sure.

He grabbed his cup of water in both hands, swirling the liquid around. It seemed like he was doing anything to distract himself away from the subject.

"You don't have to tell me..." I muttered softly. I mean, I was curious, but it wasn't something that may have completely changed my life if I found out. I don't even know what I saw.

"No, I need to tell you. I've been keeping this secret from you long enough. I've kind of been itching to tell you, but it's kind of weird." He replied after finally taking a drink from his water. "I don't really know how to even start the subject, so I guess I should just spit it out?"

I looked at him as he shifted in his seat, uncomfortably. I felt bad for putting him in an uncomfortable situation, but I didn't want to hold him back from telling me something that he felt like he should tell me.

"Um," he chuckled nervously. "I have a female's body."

Nearly three minutes had passed since he spoken, and I was still completely silent. My eyebrows were raised, and my eyes were wide. A female's body? What did that even mean? He had boo- no, that's not possible. Is it? Nah, not possible. Right? I mean, he's a dude. I've seen him shirtless before. Kind of, I mean, I saw him shirtless through a cracked door back in the wall days but that's besides the point. All I knew is that he definitely didn't have a girl's body that day, it was an all man's body, that's for sure.

"Huh?" Was my response that came out after a long silent moment.

He groaned quietly, sitting back in the couch. "I have a woman's body, Eren. Which means I have girl's body parts. Boobs and a vagina. I have periods, I have cramps, I have everything that girls have. And it's fucking hell." He spat that out quickly as he ran a hand through his hair.

"That's not possible though," I chuckled, shaking my head in confusion. "I mean, your damn name is Levi, everyone has always called you a boy."

"I haven't always been like this, Eren. I woke up with this body. I used to have a dick, for christ's sake." He snorted and sank more into the couch.

"How is that even possible, though?"

"Fuck if I know." He grumbled. "All I know, is that these annoying ass things are here and I don't think they're leaving anytime soon." He said, poking his bigger chest. My eyes widen, and I quickly averted my eyes away from him. "What? Never seen boobs before? Virgin little boy." He cackled. As awkward as this all was, I was a bit happy at his change of mood. He wasn't scared like he was not even 10 minutes ago.

"I-I've seen boobs before." I lied. I mean, I've touched boobs before. But never seen them. But I won't lie and say I didn't sport a half of a boner when I got to grab that one chick's boobs through her shirt that one time. Because that definitely happened.

"Liar." He replied, rolling his eyes.

I huffed, standing up from the coffee table. I grabbed his bowl and cup from the table and took it back to the kitchen. "So, um. How do you keep them covered?" Fucking hell, Eren. Stop talking now, would you?

I heard Levi snort in amusement. "An ACE bandage. Remember when you took it off from me that one day? Yeah, that." He replied. "Fuck, it's at Armin's house. Shit, shit, I need that." He stood up as I walked back into the living room.

"It's okay, Levi. We can buy a new one." I told him when he started to panic. He pouted a bit, sticking his bottom lip out the smallest bit. "Tell you what, how about we go shopping? We can buy you some more clothes, more shoes, and you can buy another bandage or two? How does that sound?"

Levi grumbled something but nodded. "I'ma take a shower." He muttered as he walked past me. I rolled my eyes at his attitude and went to go get dressed.

I decided to wear something a bit funny. I slipped a black tee shirt on, that had Japanese writing on it that translated to English as "Chicken Nuggets". Heh, these Americans would never know. After the shirt, I just wore some worn skinny jeans with holes in them, having my left knee bare. I grabbed my bomber jacket and my red beanie, and made sure I had my phone in my pocket. As I stepped out, Levi was just now getting out of the bathroom.

He was wearing a black, sweater and black biker jeans with a few zippers on the hips and to top it off with a black belt. Basically, he was wearing a lot of black.

"Ready?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"I don't have any shoes..." He mumbled, messing around with the sleeve of his sweater. The sleeves were almost covering his hands giving him an innocent look. He definitely wasn't some innocent kid though.

"You can borrow my converse if you want." I suggested, motioning towards my white high top converse at the door entrance. I had forgotten about his shoes; they were probably still at Armin's.

"They're probably huge on me! My feet have shrunk..." He grumped, folding his arms across his chest.

I tried my best not to snort in amusement but I couldn't help myself. "They're already too small for me, so I'm sure they'll be just fine for you."

He sighed. "Fine." And with that, he stomped over to the entrance door. He slipped my shoes on after he put some socks on. I wandered into the kitchen, opening a drawer that Kira always put some money in for us in case we ever needed any. We kept telling her to stop, since we're getting jobs soon but she said it was no problem. I knew she had a great paying job and all, but I still felt bad.

I grabbed a few extra dollars than I usually would for shopping. I wanted to buy Levi something to brighten him up, and I knew what I wanted to get him was a bit expensive.

After getting my black vans on, we left the house. We both decided we would try to take the bus again, hoping that rude woman wasn't on there again from last time we took the bus. Thankfully, when we got on, we noticed she was no where in sight.

"Nice shirt." Levi muttered, slipping on his sunglasses. "Are you hungry or something?"

"I always am." I replied, chuckling. I took my phone out my pocket, and messed around on Internet for a few minutes before Levi spoke up again.

"I think we should move." He whispered, crossing his legs.

I glanced over at him, "where to?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. Even if it's just to a neighborhood, I just kinda wanna get out of that house."

I had a feeling it was because we were so close to Armin and... Him. We were technically in the same neighborhood, them being just a block away. I didn't blame Levi wanting to move away.

I nodded, "we may can do that. We need to get a job though first." We were already planning to move out and find another place to stay, since Hanji and Kira were moving into together soon and we didn't want to interrupt their plans. Besides, it would be nice to get our own place.

Levi groaned, but nodded. "I know we do. I just really don't want to. What if he finds me?" He whispered the last part ever so quiet, I was surprised my ears caught it. Hearing him say that about broke my heart.

I nudged him with shoulder, trying to keep the tension light. "You could always find a job you could do at home." I suggested, sending him a gentle smile.

He was quiet for a moment, thinking about my suggestion. "Maybe, I dunno."

"You could be a babysitter!" I joked, chuckling at his reaction. He sent me a harsh glare.

"Those kids would be dead before the first day ended if I did that." He snorted, rolling his eyes. "I hate children." I have never seen someone hate kids as much as Levi does. But I couldn't blame him. All they do is eat, shit and cry. Plus they look like aliens. "They're like marshmallows. They just sit there." Levi added, scowling. Okay, and they're like marshmallows.

I rolled my eyes at him, messing with my phone in my hands. I sat back and rested my head on the wall behind the seat I was sitting on.

"What the hell does you case say?" Levi asked, raising an eyebrow at my iPhone case.

I glanced at the case and chuckled. It was a white case, but had a hand in the middle with the middle finger up. It had ribbons around it with English words saying, "Better To Be Hated Than Loved For What You're Not." I told him in Japanese, shrugging. "I thought it looked chill."

"Oh no, you're becoming one of those people." He joked, shaking his head.

"Yolo." I joked back and laughed. He thumped my forehead, grumbling something about me being a brat.

After a while we finally reached the mall, we bought a few outfits and he bought some more combat boots for him. He made sure I took him to get another ACE bandage for him, and it was then when I actually remembered the secret he told me earlier. I was still in shock about the whole thing, but I made sure I didn't react negatively or made a big deal out of it. The last thing he needed was more drama. I made sure he was in my sight the whole time we were at the large mall, keeping my promise that I made with Kira this morning.

After purchasing, I told him we were going to walk home, because the place where the surprise was, wasn't in the mall. He gave me an odd look and told me not to complain when my ass freezes off but he didn't say no. It was all part of my surprise.

"You're gonna have to close your eyes up here in a sec." I said, as we walked up farther on the sidewalk. I could see the small shop that we would be entering.

"Why do I need to close my eyes?" He wondered, giving me an odd look again. "I'm fine with keeping my eyes opened, thank you very much." Damn him and his sassy attitude.

I rolled my eyes, "Just do it." I grumbled as we got closer. He sighed but closed his eyes and stopped walking. "Just hold onto my shirt and I'll tell you when to open them."

"Just walk, Eren."

I chuckled, and started walking when I felt him pinch a bit of my jacket between his fingers. He followed me up to the shop's entrance, and I helped him enter the shop without running into a wall, even though it would funny as hell to see.

I grabbed his shoulders and placed him in the correct spot in the store. "Open them."

"There better not be a gun pointing at me when I open my eyes, or I will rip your balls off."

"There's no gun! Just open them, grumpy pants!"

He sighed, and finally opened them. I watched with happiness as his eyes widened at the sight and in awe. "Oh my god." He whispered, dropping his shopping bags. "Eren, look at it, it's so cute."

I giggled at his reaction. We were currently in a small pet shop, and I had him looking at a small black kitten. I've always known his favorite animal was cats and he told me that he just never got the chance own one. We obviously weren't allowed to have any when we were in the Scout Regiment, so none of us really got the chance to be around any animals besides the horses that we rode out of the walls on expeditions.

"Pick one out. We're buying one." I told him, staring at his reactions as he poked the clear, plastic box the kitten was in. His wide eyes snapped towards me.

"Really?" I nodded, smiling. "Oh my god."

While he was busy looking at the cats, I waved down one of the pet's shops employees and asked her if he could hold one. She was quick to say yes, and Levi picked one out that he wanted to hold. It was a little bigger than a kitten, but it was still cute. But what made me laugh is that it had a really angry look on him. Almost like the cat was glaring at everyone in sight, and I would be lying if I said it didn't remind me of Levi a little. The mere thought had me biting my lip from laughing.

He held the black cat in his hands with a gentle embrace, quietly cooing at the soft cat. I walked over to him, and put a single finger out at tried to get the cat to sniff it, but the cat only hissed and slapped my finger away. I brought my finger back like I had burned it.

Levi laughed loudly, "I'll take this one! This is one way of keeping you away."

"Gee, thanks." I muttered, but smiled. The two of them made a perfect match. And no, not just because the cat reminded me of Levi... Okay, yes because of that.

We purchased the cat and bought some litter items, food bags, and a few toys. The shop was kind enough to give us a small portable cage for free for the cat since our hands were already full with other items, which was very kind of them. When we got home, I wasn't surprised to see Levi instantly getting the cat out and watching her as she wandered around the house, sniffing at the weird things.

"What are you going to name her?" I asked, getting some of the toys from the bags.

He crouched down beside her, petting her back as her back arched up into his hand, and tail wrapped around his wrist as she purred in satisfactory. "How about Ravioli?"

I snorted, "Ravioli? Where the fuck did that come from?"

He glanced over at me and glared. "Don't be so rude. She likes it." He said as the cat licked his finger.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Okay. Ravioli it is."
