Chapter Two。
Unedited.
Song: Danger by Taemin.
babe.
Levi's POV.
"Ah, how about this?"
"Too tight."
"Okay. How about this?"
"Too flashy." I didn't want anything that would bring anymore attention to me, or my chest.
"Oh, well, I don't what else to tell you then." Kira muttered, sighing as she put the tops back on the rack. What a quitter.
"I'll just go look around myself, and you can help Eren." Eren seems like he would be much easier to shop for. Kira agreed, and pulled Eren behind her, Eren giving me a glare.
We were currently at the mall, as Kira called it. We had ended up walking the whole way here, which was a good mile of a walk. Kira had wanted to take her vehicle, but I quickly refuses to even get near that thing. Frankly, it scared me. It was too noisy for my liking. Besides, I was fine with walking. Eren and I both were, we used to do nothing but walk back in the day. A mile walk was nothing. I would have to remember to either get used to the weird vehicles, or buy myself a horse to ride around with. But, that may make myself stick out even more if I were to ever ride the horse in the city, while everyone is in those... Creepy contraptions.
There were so many clothing items around. They were either too flashy, had a weird design, or looked like they would fit oddly. So I just decided to walk around myself. Just because I had new body parts, doesn't mean I needed the help from a woman. Besides, I don't even want female clothing. I'll stick to baggy male clothing, thank you very much.
I walked past many different clothing compartments, and I saw the sign that said 'Female.' I didn't know how to pronounce it, but I knew that it meant female clothing. I glared at the sign angrily. But my walking stopped when I came upon brassière, what girls wore. Of course I wasn't going to get one. But I knew I had to do something about my new problem. I may have to look that up on the laptop...
I sighed, continuing my trail towards male clothing. Once I found them, I walked past the flashy colors, and was happy when I found darker colors.
"Hello, sir. Need any help?" I heard a woman's voice come from behind me, making me jump a bit in surprise. I had no idea what she said, which angered me.
I furrowed my eyebrows, and put a finger to my mouth, trying to signal that I didn't understand English. Seeing that she didn't even understand my signals, only frustrated me more.
"Rikai dekimasen." I mumbled, knowing she couldn't understand what I was saying, but hoped that she would understand what I'm trying to tell her.
Her eyebrows rose, and she wore a shy smile. "Sorry, sorry!" She said and backed away, laughing. I didn't know what she said, but I guessed it was some kind of apology.
I rolled my eyes, and continued to stroll down the rack of dark tops. I found a plain black top, that had the color a shape of a V, short sleeves, and best of all, baggy. I was sure it was at least twice my size, which was great. It didn't look too long, but yet not too short. I grabbed a few of the same shirts, along with some that looked similar. I was used to having clothes that looked either exactly the same, or somewhat the same. After all, our uniforms always looked the same. It's going to be weird having a new attire. The only other I really got to look different back in the day, was when I was off duty, wearing a nice tuxedo, and when I was relaxing off duty, wearing a white long sleeved shirt along with large lounge pants.
I'd love to have those lounge pants again...
I strolled down another rack of jackets, and found the perfect plain, leather jacket. There wasn't anything flashy on it, and it wasn't tight. It was perfect. I gladly grabbed that off the rack, and went to find some other clothes, such as pants and I even glanced at some shoes. I couldn't go around wearing my knee high, brown boots all the time. Brown and black clash.
Since when has I been so into fashion? Damn, this body is affecting me.
-~-
"Levi, all of the shirts look alike." Kira pointed out, after I had found them in another part of the male clothing. Eren had a whole arm full of clothes wrapped around it. I knew he'd be a shit ton easier to shop for; as he isn't too picky.
I shrugged, "I don't care about that."
Kira sighed, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Well, okay. They're not awful looking, at least."
Eren glanced at my hands. "Those are nice boots." He said, looking at some combat boots that I found.
"I don't know if they fit, though, so I just kinda guessed." I muttered.
Kira chuckled. "Levi, you can try them on, silly. Sit down on that bench."
I sighed, giving in and sitting down where she had pointed to. She bent down in front of my, pointing to the boot I was wearing.
"Go ahead and take one off, and you can try this one on." She said, smiling.
Sighing, I tied off the boot, and sat it beside the bench, and slipped on the new combat boot, making sure it was the correct foot. She assisted me with making sure it was a correct fit, and I was relieved when it fit well.
Kira paid for everything, and I had to remind myself to thank her. I didn't understand the whole money thing, but I understood that it wasn't the most easiest thing to come by these days. Though, when I think about it, it was almost so rare back in the day, I had to steal it from people.
Ah, those were the days.
After the clothes were bought, we walked out of the store.
"I feel bad for you having to pay for everything. I would have done something... But I don't have any, uh, money." Eren muttered.
Kira shrugged her shoulders, wearing a smile. "No worries, Eren! I love helping people."
I sighed, tilting my head to pop my neck. "We'll need to find jobs soon."
Eren let out an exaggerated groan, resulting in me rolling my eyes.
Kira jumped up, happily. "I'll help you guys with that! Having a job is so great!"
I wasn't really looking forward to getting a job. I had no idea where to even begin to get a job, start a job, or even what to do in a job. I've never been paid in my life, I've always stole the money. It's not like Survey Corps was giving me money to risk my life everyday. Money was almost impossible to come by back then, and now days the money goes around like its an STD.
Never mind, that's gross.
"Levi, I could see you working at a coffee shop or something." Kira said, smiling in my direction.
Eh, I liked coffee and all, but that seems too cheesy. Maybe a calm setting would be nice, similar to a coffee shop. "Maybe." I shrugged.
"You two should get a job together! That'd be awesome." She replied, as we walked down the side walk.
Eren's face changed into a small smile. "It would seem like it would be easier that way, sir."
I glared at the kid, silently telling him to drop the 'Sir.' His mouth clamped shut quickly, as he began to blush and look away from my glare. Damn right.
I could tell Kira was confused at why Eren kept addressing me with higher up titles, but she didn't say anything. Thank the gods.
We finally arrived at Kira's house awhile later, and she took off to go to work again, leaving Eren and I at the house. Eren was wandering around the house again, glancing at lamps and the ceiling lights.
"If only Armin was here to see all this." I heard him whisper. I clenched my teeth together, wishing he would stop with that annoying depressing comments.
"Jaeger. Why don't you go change clothes? Your uniform is probably filthy." I ordered him. He quickly nodded, grabbing an outfit from the store bag, and rushed into the bedroom I slept in last night.
I let out a tired sigh, throwing myself on the couch, resting my head on the arm rest, my legs propped up on the other arm rest. The air conditioner blew on my hot face, sweaty from the long walk. It wasn't too hot outside at all, due to it being autumn, but this uniform was way too fucking hot. I was ready to get out of these and into my new clothes.
I heard the door open, and saw Eren standing at the door frame, fingering the shirt's cloth. "It feels so weird."
I sat up from my laying position, holding my weight by my two arms behind me. He wore a plain dark green, long sleeved shirt, with dark jeans. They use completely different fabric now days compared to back then, so I didn't blame him when he said it felt weird.
"Definitely looks different, too." I commented. "Looks nice though. Go ahead and put your uniform by the laundry room. We'll have to ask Kira how to use it."
He nodded, doing so. I grabbed my own outfit from the bag, and made my way into the bedroom. I put the clothing on the bed, staring at them as I but at my thumb nail.
I was anxious that these didn't fit me right. I didn't have the smallest breasts, so the shirt would have to be pretty big. I sighed as I basically tore off my uniform, quickly getting redressed. I didn't like looking at my body longer than I had to. After getting dressed, I stood in front of the mirror, wanting to punch the glass. The clothes fit, but of course, the shirt made everything noticeable. I needed to cover these damn things up. I couldn't wear the leather jacket that I bought all day, it would way too hot.
I glanced at the laptop, tapping my foot. I hated the Internet, but I was pretty sure I needed it. I sat myself down at the chair, and started up the Internet and went to the search bar.
My fingers hovered over the keyboard, but didn't move.
How was I to word this?
I knew what I wanted to look up, but I had no idea what words to use. I knew what the term "Trans" meant, but I hated using that word for me. Because technically I'm not Trans, but at the same time I am.
I groaned, quickly tapping down words that I hated.
"What do Trans boys wear for breast" is what ended up in the search bar. Many options popped up, and I glanced through them. I ended up on one website, that had photos attached. One was a person wearing some kind of tan wrap. But the photo had a huge X through it, as in telling me that it's the wrong way. There was a photo that had a check mark through it, with a person that had something different on. It looked like a tank top, that had clamps on the side. It had a link to where I could order one, but I obviously couldn't do that. I didn't even want to. Seemed like a big process to get that one. I went back to other photo that had the X through it. It was labeled as "ACE bandage". I quickly read through the paragraphs, and it said that it was possible to bind, is the word they used, breast with the bandage, but it's not the safest route.
I sighed, leaning back into the chair. I saw a similar wrap laying around Kira's house. There was nothing else to use, so I decided to get up and grab that. I found it in a drawer with other medic supplies. I quickly went back into the room, angrily taking my shirt off once again. I tried my best to wrap it around my chest without getting a glance at the same hills on my chest. I made the wrapping as tight as I could, wanting my chest be flat as I could get it.
Once I finished, I slipped the black shirt on again, and glancing into the mirror. For once I didn't want to punch the glass, finally okay with the view. My chest was pretty flat, compared to how much they stuck out before. Damn, if I have to have breast, why do they have so big?
I grabbed my dirty uniform, and placed it on the clothing washer, and wandered into the living room where I saw Eren sitting down, playing around with his fingers and looking bored.
"We should do something." I said, wanting to laugh at how he jumped from me startling him.
"Like what?" He said, hiding a smile.
I shrugged. "Something we used to do, something we like to do, I don't know."
He was quiet for a moment, and the. He rose from his seat while smiling. "I have an idea." I raised an eyebrow in his direction, asking what he was thinking. "Why not go ride horses?"
Well I definitely wasn't expecting that. Horse back riding is relaxing and all, but I know it would definitely remind me of when we went on expeditions. But I knew Eren really did enjoy riding horses.
Sighing, I dropped my shoulders. "Alright, we can do that. I can't stand being in this house any longer." I hated being inside.
He jumped, smiling happily. "Awesome! I remember seeing a horse barn up the road."
I knew it wouldn't be free, and I remembered Kira had left some money on the counter telling me I could use it if I needed it. I decided to grab the money, put it into my pants pocket and slipped on my leather jacket. Then Eren and I took off out of the house.
"Thanks for taking me." Eren muttered, playing around with his shirt, again.
I pushed my hands into my jacket's pockets and shrugged. "No biggie. I just needed to get out of the house."
Eren chuckled and agreed. "Have you shrunk?"
I could have ruined this whole trip and punched him in the face for asking me that, but I decided against it. "I think so." I muttered, not even liking my own answer.
"Weird. I grew and you shrunk." Eren said and chuckled. Not funny.
"Has anything else changed with you?" I asked, curious if anything has changed with him as much as it had with me.
"I haven't noticed much. But I think I'm a bit more muscular, heh." He replied. Unfortunately, he's right. I did notice his arms were a bit bigger than before. And of course, my body shrunk and I'm definitely not near as muscular as I was before. "What about you? You definitely look younger, and your features... are kind of defined?"
I got angry that he was focusing on my features too much, not liking people study me. "A few things have changed." I whispered, wanting this horse barn to appear already so I could stop talking about this.
"Like what?"
"Just... Stuff."
"What? You grew another nipple?"
I glared at him. "Something like that."
His eyes widened, staring at me. "For real?! I wanna see it!"
"No, you idiot." I replied, rolling my eyes. "Is it even possible to grow another nipple? That'd be disgusting."
"Damn, I thought you were being serious."
"I wouldn't have even let you see if it did happen, brat."
"Party pooper." He muttered, kicking a rock with his new converse.
"Finally, we're here." I muttered, silently thanking the barn that it appeared quickly.
"Jesus Christ, that horse looks like a giraffe." Eren said, staring at a brown horse with it's head up tall.
"Idiot." I whispered to myself. Eren's like a kid with candy with this kind of stuff.
We walked into the smelly barn and didn't see anyone, but a sign that said, "I'm not here," -fucking obviously, "pick a horse and go. Just don't take them away. Thanks. P.S: don't abuse the horses."
"Wow. What a great business they have going here." I muttered, keeping the money in my pocket. They weren't even asking for money anyway.
Eren shrugged, and took off to the side of the barn with the stables. Each stable had a horse in it, and I swear to god they were giving Eren the stinky eye. I would too.
"Aw, Levi look at this one." I raised my eyes at him, surprised that he actually used my first name for one of the first times in a long time. "Uh, I mean..-"
"It's fine... Eren." I muttered. I could tell he was surprised as well as I used his first name as well instead of his surname. "Just pick a horse and go."
"I... I don't remember how to get the horse ready."
I could have slapped him for forgetting such an easy task. "Get him on the damn halter and tie him up."
He did so, picking a horse that was covered in a grey coat, with dark white mane and tail. He put the horse on cross ties and looked at me, asking what next.
I glared at him, pointing to a bucket hanging on the stall. "Oh! You have to brush him, I remember that!" He said, grabbing a random brush and going straight for the horse's face, making it snap at his hand.
"Idiot, wrong brush and you don't just go straight for its face." I said, grabbing his arm away from the horse. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.. "Use this brush, and start at its neck, softly."
He did as I said, blushing. Jesus, it's like he remembers nothing from back in the day. I could hardly forget anything.
As he was brushing the angry horse, I decided to grab a black horse. Matches perfectly with outfit. I hooked him up to cross ties just as Eren did, and quickly brushed the horse.
"Your hands shrunk, too." I heard Eren muttered to me, smirking while chuckling. I turned and glared at him.
"Nothing is wrong with that." I mumbled. "Why are you pointing so much stuff about me now?"
"Sorry, I'm just noticing a lot stuff that changed with you." He said, looking at my body. I then felt self conscious about the way I looked. I knew for a fact that my body had turned feminine looking, and I was afraid Eren would notice that. I quickly went to the other side of the tall horse, wanting to get away from Eren's glance.
"Oh come on, nothing is wrong with talking about what all changed." Eren said, walking over to where I was.
"I don't like talking about it, Jaeger." I muttered, grabbing a hoof pick.
"Why not though? I've told you what's changed with me." He said, petting the horse.
"And I have as well." I muttered again, bending down and picking up the horse's front leg. "I've shrunk, my features are defined, I small hands. What else is there to talk about?"
"Well first off, that's definitely changed." He said while chucking. I looked back at him and saw he was looking at my ass.
"Jaeger!" I yelled, putting the horse's leg back down and stood up. "That's enough!"
He put his arms up in defense, "Sorry, sorry! I just see things that has changed, that you may not see."
"I've seen what has changed, Jaeger. I don't need you listing them off." I said, moving to the other side of the horse, and lifting it's leg and quickly picked out the hoof.
"It's not even a big deal. Your ass is... Different. So what? You're making a big deal out of nothing." He said, finally going back to his horse.
"How would even know my ass is different?" I asked, moving to the horse's back leg.
I knew he was blushing and searching for an excuse. "Uh - the girls talked nonstop about you.. And your ass."
"So they explained in detail of what ass my looked like?" I asked, purposefully putting Eren in the spot. I moved back to the other side of the horse, quickly picking out the stones and dirt out of the hooves.
"Yep. Every curve and everything."
"That's disgusting, Jaeger."
"What? They're the ones who said it all, not me!" He defended himself.
I knew he was lying, but I decided to leave him alone, and I went to the saddles. "There's two different types of saddles. Western and English..." I mumbled.
"Western. I can easily throw them over since I'm a more muscular." He said, smirking.
I rolled my eyes, and grabbed a saddle pad and a western saddle. Jesus Christ, have these gotten heavier? Pretty sure they have. People probably made them differently with all the damn leather; it's definitely not because I'm smaller.
I held the saddle on my hip, as I threw the white saddle pad over the horse's back.
"Need any help there?" Eren asked, as I saw he already had the saddle over the horse's back.
I glared at him, "No."
He leaned against the horse, smirking at me. I threw the cinch and the stirrup over the seat, and gripped onto the saddle horn and the back of it, and tried my best to throw it over the tall horse.
"You need help." He said, walking over to me.
"He's just too tall." I muttered, glaring at the horse who was looking back at me. He's probably laughing at my shortness and my weakness.
"Mhm, it's okay." He grabbed the saddle out of my hands and easily threw it over and onto the withers of the horse. Eren patted my shoulder, silently chuckling at me.
I could have tore his arm off his shoulder if I was bit more stronger.
I went over to the other side of the horse, pulling the cinch and the stirrup down. "I could have gotten it myself." I muttered, walking back over to the other side, pulling the cinch around the belly of the horse.
"Suuuure." He said, doing the same as I was, tightening the latigo.
"I could, brat." I grunted as I pulled the latigo tightly on the belly, making the saddle tight around the horse.
"I also have a mole or something on my stomach. That's new, too." He said randomly.
I remembered that I had a small freckle as well. "I have one on my foot..." I whispered, finishing up the cinch and latigo.
"On your foot?" He said, laughing. "I bet your feet are smaller, too."
I rolled my eyes, "Yes, there are, Jaeger." Not everything shrunk, though. My chest grew, my ass grew, and my thighs grew a bit.
"Wittle captain is shrinking." He said in a baby voice, laughing.
"I hope that horse kicks you in the dick." I muttered, grabbing a western bridle.
"I hope your horse kicks you in the dick, too." He said. Too bad I don't have a dick anymore... That's actually depressing, never mind.
We quickly got the bridles on the horses with no trouble, besides Eren's horse not wanting the bit at all. We lead the horse's out to the trail, quickly jumped on the saddle, with my struggling a bit due to the fact that I had to have the stirrups up a bit higher, and I couldn't get my foot up in it to pull myself up, so of course; Eren had to come and push me up. Damn brat.
"This is definitely bringing memories back." Eren said, as we went through the Forrest.
"The big ass trees." I replied, hiding a chuckle.
"Yes, the big ass trees." He laughed.
I sighed, putting the reins down, letting the horse walk on its own. I rested my head back, closing my eyes; enjoying the nice breeze.
"This is so relaxing, thanks for agreeing to come here." Eren said, doing the same with his reins.
"No problem, brat."
"Am I actually a brat?" He asked after a moment. I turned back on the saddle, looking at him as he stared back at me.
"Sometimes you are." I answered truthfully, snorting a laugh.
"You are sometimes, too!"
I raised an eyebrow at him. "You're calling me a brat?"
"Well, you're mean sometimes."
"I have my reasons to be mean."
"Not anymore. We're in a whole new generation, with no Titans and we're not risking our lives anymore. We can finally sit down and relax, and not be scared everyday. And hey! We finally don't have to take a shit in a bucket!" He said, chuckling.
My lips twitched up in a smile, but I quickly hid it. "You've got a point. But that doesn't mean I have to change my personality."
"This is our chance to start over. We can change our personalities, we can change what we like and dislike, we can change everything." Eren said.
"Okay, Reverend Jaeger." I replied sarcastically at his preaching. "Don't be like those wall worshippers."
"Fuck, I'm so happy we don't have those damn walls anymore. I couldn't stand looking at them anymore."
"Those walls were what was saving your damn life."
"Well, I died so they obviously didn't do that good of a job." He said, nervously laughing.
"It was my fault." I mumbled, thinking back to what happened.
"No, it wasn't Levi. It was my own fault for dying."
I snorted, "It was obviously mine, dummy. I wasn't there fast enough."
"Your 3DMG can only got so fast, Levi." Eren mumbled, sighing.
I shook my head, disagreeing. "Whatever, let's just move on with the subject."
He didn't reply for a moment, petting his horse's neck as he sighed. We rode the horses up a tall hill.
"Hey, Eren," I mumbled, "I'll race you down the hill."
He looked up at the steep down going hill, and smirked. "You're on."
"Keep in mind, just because I'm shorter now, but I do have a much taller horse than you." I said, chuckling, gathering the reins in my hands, getting more control over the horse.
Eren scoffed. "As if. This horse here can hardly stay still."
Ha, his horse looks like a damn pony.
"Whatever, horse face."
"Hey! Jean's the horse face!-"
I ignored his response, and kicked my horse in the correct way, and the horse took off in a gallop, quickly leaving Eren and his grey horse behind. It took him a minute to get his horse going after many kicks, but soon was on my tail.
Ha, no pun intended.
"Cheater!" I heard him yell at me from behind. I could hear him furiously telling his horse to pick up the speed, whenever I looked back I could tell the poor horse was going as fast as his short legs would take him.
We quickly raced down the hill, and ended up running back to the barn which wasn't far at all. It was good for horses. And good for Eren and I. We needed that, to just be around something familiar. Even though I wasn't all crazy about horse back riding, I know very well I did it a lot back in the walls. And I needed that, to get my mind off of... Certain things, such as my new body.
After we untacked the worn out horses, and put them back in their stalls, Eren forced me to lay some money down for the barn owners. Even though they had an awful business going on... Brat.
Eren and I then began to walk back to the house, silently. Eren shoulder bumped mine, smiling. "Thanks."
"Yeah." I quietly replied, looking at my combat boots I wore. "You're welcome."
