Unbreakable Bond {MoxieDov X RaraHaruko SNK}

Black raven air had fallen over his steel eyes, as his head was angled down at his lap. He tightened the grip on the horse he had by clamping his knees down on the sides, as he would have hated to fall off, which would result in his reputation being tainted. Even more than it already had. His horse moved at a canter, loosely keeping up with the blonde's mare, far enough for Levi's preferences though close enough to satisfy his captor. His ears picked up on the quiet chatter of some of the soldiers around him, gossiping about the appearances of the Female and Armoured Titans. The dark haired man turned his attention away from the others, simply focusing on what would happen in the near future. Levi closed his eyes, simply resting as he would not want to fall asleep at the time being. As his vision completely blocked out, his mind began to run, showing himself scenes as he daydreamed.


~~~


"What do I do, Hange?" A low voice asked, one that belonged to himself. Though Levi wasn't the one speaking out the said sentence, though he seemed to observe the two elites from a different angle. The two soldiers stood directly in front of each other, the woman's figure slightly faded. "Me and Eren are going to be executed. After all of this." The dull eyed male spoke once more, which caused the female to place a hand upon the man's shoulder. "So many lives were lost. And for what? Just so Annie could fulfil her selfish wishes?" He spoke out once again, his head having been staring down at his boots. "Things don't always work out on a first try, Levi. Maybe fate just wanted to be cruel to you, to us all, and see if you're worth giving a second chance." Hange's voice responded after a couple of seconds, a sullen smile upon her colourless lips. Another hand was placed onto the corporal's opposite shoulder, which belonged to a shorter soldier. "Don't ever think about giving up your hope in humanity, Heichou. You must keep fighting. For yourself. For us." A soft feminine voice added, which caused Levi to turn his head up, taking a glance at the lady. "For Eren." Petra finished, a light smile upon her face as the figures of Oluo, Erd, and Gunther seemed to fade into focus around him. The black haired male turned his around, taking a look at the familiar faces that surrounded him. Tears threatened to well up in his usually cold eyes, his hands reaching up to his face.


"I don't want to do this any-more..." Levi admitted, covering his face with his palms to shield his expression of pain and sadness. Silence overtook the room for four seconds or so, before several limbs wrapped around his form at once. Even though the male could barely feel the touch of the soldiers, a sense of warmth settled into his stomach. He could feel Petra's cheek against his shoulder, Hange's hair brushing against his own, Oluo's hesitant yet light touch, Gunther's sturdy grasp, Erd's palm against the back of his head. "We'll always be with you, Levi. Even if it's not physically, we're there." Petra reassured, earning a shaky sigh from the captain. "Yes, we won't forget you so don't forget us." Erd spoke up, a breathy sigh emitting from his lips that fell upon Gunther's arm.


Sobs broke through the silence, Levi hastily attempting to silence himself by biting his bottom lip. "If you ever need help, ask us." Gunther added, all of his fellow soldiers glancing at each other with sorrow clear in their eyes. "After all, a captain deserves loyal subordinates." Oluo eventually stated, attempting to look somewhat displeased by the group hug. The fallen soldiers' eyes shut slowly, simply allowing their corporal to weep in silence.


~~~


A sudden jerk of his small form brought him back to reality, as well as causing his head to shoot back upwards. The blonde who was leading his horse was grabbing onto the male, transporting him off the steed. He grunted as his stallion was reluctantly lead away from him, as Onyx seemed to keep wanting to look back at it's owner. The dark haired male was placed onto his feet, though large hands remained gripping onto his shoulders to direct him in the right direction. Levi walked forward, a dark expression upon his face as he headed away from the groups of soldiers. The man who was holding him in place seemed to stare at the black haired male, as they walked towards where Levi would be confined in. "What the hell are you looking at." The shorter male's dull voice forced out, ignoring the fact that he could feel dry tears on his cheeks. The man let out something that sounded vaguely similar to a huff mixed with a breathy sigh. "I've wanted to meet you one day. But I never expected it to be due to an event like this." He responded, his voice in a quiet tone so only the elite could hear him. "My name's Jack, if you were wondering." The blonde added, turning his head up and away from the darker haired man's face. "I wasn't and probably never would have." Levi replied, seeming almost bored to death as he was listening to the other male speak. Both heads turned at the sound of a pained cry.


Metal eyes narrowed at the almost familiar sound, jerking his figure forward. The soldier's grasp on him only tightened, though did nudge the smaller man forward towards the source of the sound as Levi needed to be somewhere in that area. He strode forward, forcing the younger male behind him to pick up the speed to prevent the man from running off. Once the titan-shifter was in view of Levi, he growled at the sight of a blade slicing into the boy's leg. A couple of men had gathered up at the spot where Tegan was standing, though was waiting for the corporal instead. A look of murder crossed the black haired male's eyes as he stared at the one armed soldier. His attention swiftly returned to the movement of Jack, as the male had knelt down in-front of him. The blonde man unclipped the gas mechanisms from the older male's thighs, removing the weapons he wielded. He had left the straps, as it would be too troublesome to remove them as well. Three soldiers stepped towards the raven haired man, one of them pushing Jack aside. "Leave the next part to us, Jackie." The male stated, causing the said soldier to frown heavily at his nickname. They began to place their calloused hands over Levi's figure, causing the elite to twitch and hiss at the action. "The f*** are you idiots doing." He grumbled out, sending glares at each of the trio. "Pat-down inspection. Can't have you owning any weapons now." One of them answered, as Levi couldn't care less about their identities. The male, who received an answer, grunted in disapproval. The blonde from earlier seemed to be watching, standing at the side of the small group.


"Now, is the main part." The tallest of the three started, standing at thirty-five centimetres above Levi. "A strip search." The other two informed, causing the black haired male to widen his eyes in horror / shock / disgust / rage.


The elite's expression darkened in a heartbeat, his features growing even sterner is possible. "You pigs lay your hands on me one more time, I will beat you to death." Levi threatened, even though his hands and arms were immobilized. They simply scoffed, one of the group grabbing onto the dark haired male's shoulders. "I wouldn't threaten us if I were you." He stated, before his comrades reached forward for his jacket and belt.


A leg swung up, the leather boot colliding in-between the tallest male's legs. The man let out a pained yell, stumbling back as his legs threatened to give out. The same leg smashed into another man's stomach, causing him to release the smaller soldier's form. Before the third male could react, Levi brought his leg up, crushing the other's face with the sole of his boots, which broke his nose. The male fell back onto his backside, joining the man from earlier. The only one left standing was the soldier who had endured a kick to the torso. He swung a fist at Levi, who simply shifted his upper half to the left. The two would repeat the action several times, the man attempting to punch the raven haired male, while he would dodge each time. Levi shifted his weight onto his right leg, outstretching his other leg back before swinging it around in a semi-circle, knocking the man off his feet. He stepped forward to finish the three off, before another pair of hands grasped onto his shoulders.


"Guys, I don't think that end part was really necessary. You didn't find any weapons from the pat-down and his arms are stuck in the same position, so he wouldn't be able to use any daggers or anything like that." Jack's voice stated, as he directed the corporal away from the three figures who were currently attempting to climb back onto their feet. The trio let out several groans and grumbles, as well as some curse words directed to each other. Levi breathed out, almost in relief as he was able to prevent any action like that from happening. His gladness vanished in a second as he laid eyes upon a small, cage-like cell. Jack kept a hand on the other's shoulder, as he moved forward and unlocked the cell door. He pushed the male into the area, closing the only exit out of it once the elite was fully inside. Levi had to hunch over to fit into the minuscule "box", which eventually resulted in him sitting down against the back of the room. There was about five centimetres above his head once he settled down, though his legs couldn't fully stretch out.
 
Eyes shot towards the trio, his mouth opening to speak before he remembered the one-armed soldier who bore a hateful grudge, and wielded a larger blade then the titan-shifter was used to seeing. Hands moved towards Levi's belt, causing rage to boil in his veins. Eren moved his hand to his lips, ready to shift within seconds.


Suddenly Levi repeadedly proved his strength, slamming all three bodies to the ground with deadly force. His gaze fell on the blonde soldier guiding his Corporal to a similar cage just inches from his own, the hand on Heichou's shoulder being noted with a pang of needless jealousy. Swallowing his sudden blooming envy, he shifted towards the left, fingers wrapping around the bars closest to the short man. His severed hand was healing slowly, bones now encasing themselves in large slashes of red muscle. He kept both hands secure to the rails, steam causing his face to scorch. If Eren had been feeling any pain, it wasn't showing in his face. He stared at Levi, eyebrows turned up in concern. He'd heard the whole spout of conversation, rage still under his tongue from the disgusting act that would have taken place if Levi had been weakened. "Are you okay, Corporal?" He asked, regretting his action as soon as it took place. Another flash of silver swiped from the corner of his eye, a long blade sinking it's teeth between his first two ribs.


"What did I just say!?" Tegan growled, his long face peering through the cell's gap. He was squatting now, red hair licking his freckled cheeks. "Say one more word, Titan, and your head comes next." He spat, slamming his boot into the side of the cage. The metal rattling sharply.


Eren pressed his lips together tightly, stifling a cry. Tears threatened to break from the corners of his eyes. Blood seeped through his tattered clothing, more clouds of hot air billowing from the fresh wounds. The titan-shifter hadn't been paying attention to his healing limb, growing over the rusted cage. He bit his lip, teeth puncturing the flesh as he ripped his hand away. He couldn't help but let a whimper slip as layers of skin tore from his freshly healed palm. This caused the crazed soldier to slip his weapon sharply from his chest and ram the tip of the sword into the side of Yeager's skull, making his eyeballs bulge. Agonized screams rippled from his throat, egging Tegan on. He twisted the blade inside the boy's head, a sickening smile on his pale face.


The titan-shifter stared at nothing, his vision going black with every twist of the razor. Every cry that escaped his lips would be punished by Tegan sliding his knife from the wound and jabbing it into another body part. Yeager was stabbed in the right lung, breathing seizing as blood spilled from the back of his throat. The pain was beginning to become unbearable, yelps continuing the viscous cycle. The hilt was rotated once more before Tegan stabbed it into the brown-haired boy's shoulder, digging it deep and sliding the tip under his collarbone. The steaming male's clavical split, the bone threatening to poke out of his skin. The human-titan pressed his hand to his lips tightly, clamping his tongue to the roof of his mouth to keep silent.


"Make one more sound, and I'll pluck those pretty green eyes from their sockets." The betrayed soldier growled, finally retreating his attack and taking a seat two yards from their poor excuse for a cell. Tegan grabbed a white hankercheif from his pocket, wiping the warm blood from his edge.


Eren, struggling for air, pressed his forehead against the cool metal. The whole time he'd been sliced into, he was facing his Corporal, the cramped space keeping him from moving. He averted his face away from Heichou, embarrassed in his moment of weakness. His vision was still dimmed, wounds healing slower then normal. He could feel the damp air rising from his flesh, noting that it felt cooler then it was suppose to. Fear developed under his jugular. What if he'd gone blind? Could he bleed out?

Once he had watched the other take a seat in the tiny cage, the blonde reached over and grabbed a nearby chair. Jack dragged the piece of furniture to the entrance of the cell, sitting down upon it about half a metre away. His eyes shifted to the three men who were currently staggering onto their feet, before quickly moving away from the area. I don't think the commander instructed them to preform a pat-down either. The male pondered, letting out a sigh as he placed his gloved hands onto his lap. Eyes travelled to his fellow solider, who was currently watching the titan shifter. It's them. It is really them. Levi Heichou and Eren Yeager. His curiosity seemed to be captured on the fact that flesh was wrapping itself around the boy's hand as he sat there. He shifted his leg, so it would cross over his left leg. A leather sheath, hiding a steel sword, was strapped to his right leg, instead of the usual 3DMG. Jack wasn't planning on using his sword, unlike the red headed male not so far away.


~~~


As a brief silence fell over them, Levi had attempted to shift into a comfortable position. Though after many attempts, he concluded it would be impossible and his legs would begin to ache soon. Back pressed against the wall, he breathed out softly. He thought about the symbol he bore upon his back, the Wings of Freedom. He considered yanking the already torn cape off, as he knew being trapped in a box was not freedom. Arrest isn't freedom either. The dark haired male lay his head against the back, finding that the position his arms were in grew irritating quickly.


Levi's head moved up at the mention of his name, a hint of emotion sparking in his eyes as he glanced back at the male. Lips parted to answer the other's question, only for a unappreciated groan. He lunged forward from the back of the cell, just enough so his face could be seen from the angle Jack was sitting at. The blonde blinked at the sound of shackles hitting, sliding off the chair and onto the ground to look at the black haired male. Levi gritted his teeth, attempting to shuffle as close as he could to the bars, just to observe what kind of punishment the male was inflicting onto Eren. He could feel the anger bubbling up in him, noticing the state of the younger male. The sudden anger almost caused an rage-filled outburst to emit from his lips though Levi managed to remain silent. Loose hands tightened into fists, his figure continuously jerking forward in an attempt to break the chains that bound his arms together. The yells that came out of the titan shifter's mouth only urged the male's irritation further. He is dead the moment I step a foot outside this crappy excuse for a cell.


The corporal's current expression sent a chill down Jack's spine, his dark chocolate eyes widening as well. The other male's hair had covered his cloudy eyes, though he could almost feel the enraged glare directed at his fellow soldier. He broke his gaze away from the raven haired male, settling it onto the titan-shifter. He could hear the constant rattle of Levi's cuffs, as well as his boots kicking against the rusted bars. After having witnessed what the shorter male was capable of even without the use of his arms, Jack was pretty sure the man could heavily dent and eventually snap the jail bars, if there was more space. His grimaced, as he had just witnessed crimson liquid spilling out the brown haired male's mouth.


After hearing the soldier's final sentence, Levi seemed to cease his movements for a second. The sole of his right boot came smashing into the aged bars one more time, before the male shuffled to the back of the cell, which wasn't that far away. Silence overtook the air once again, only for a dozen seconds or so before Levi spoke. "Truly a waste of air, isn't he?" His dark voice stated, confusing the blonde who sat upon the ground a small distance in-front. Jack wasn't sure if the male was asking him the question or to no one in particular. "Comparing him to a leech would be an insult to those creatures. Nevertheless, he reminds me of a piece of s***." Levi continued, in a casual yet bored tone as he would always speak. Though, the words that emitted from his mouth seemed to contain a secret venom. "Putrid, Worthless, Vomit-Inducing."
 
The rattling of the cage next to him made Eren lift his head from the cold metal, trying hard to focus through the overwhelming darkness. The insults from Levi hanging low in the air, thick tension obvious. He heard a scoff fall from Tegan's lips, like he'd heard worse names in his short life. Lips pressed together, he wrapped his arms around his knees. The back of his head was crammed tightly to the top of the cage, hair falling over wide green eyes. Vision still seizing to come back. He could feel his blood trickling down the side of his face, trying to focus all his strength in closing the wound in his lung. Breathing raspy, he heard his attacker stand abruptly.


"Watch yourself Heichou." He spat, dark hues pinned on the pale face barely lit from the torches spread outside. The night air was damp, so thick you could swim through it. "I might not be able to harm you, but the Titan is fair game." He hissed, a hint of satisfaction in his tone as he lifted his blade back through the bars, the tip lightly pressed against Yeager's cheek. "I could lose my rank for harming Humanity's finest." He breathed, lookimg sideways at the elite crammed in his confined cell. "They're going to beat moral back into you, and make you watch as they slaughter this disgusting creature." Growling as he pressed his razor deep into the human-titan's soft flesh, flaying the top of his tongue and smashing it through the other side of his mouth. A scream ripped through Eren's lips, the sudden movement of his jaw causing the skin to split to his ear. Teeth exposed to the world, his wounds seemed to stop steaming. Though his mouth was still pouring blood and hot air, his concentration still pinned on the punctured organ.


Irritated with the sounds coming from the Titan, he jerked the blade sideways. His action caused the corner of his lips to sever, skin sagging. A smile spread over Tegan's own lips, satisfied with his handiwork. "I'd shut up, Heichou. Especially if you want to see him in one piece before they sentence him to execution."


Pain was obvious in the male's emerald hues, pupils pinned on the space in front of his face. He could feel the elements on the inside of his mouth, the pull of gravity on his severed sinews making the agony worsen. Tears were stinging the wounds along his face. His heart gave way to the sound of his fate, fear sinking into his chest. What about Levi? What would happen to him after Eren's death? Was the Military going to strip him of his ranks, but keep him as a weapon? Would he suffer?

He desperately wanted to escape from the small box he currently sat in, and kick the soldier who was inflicting massive amounts of pain to Eren. He wanted to crush the man's face under his sole. He wanted to hear every part of his ribs crack and disassemble due to his swings. He wanted to cause the same pain Tegan forced Eren to endure. Though much worse.


The black haired male leaned back, lying against one of the roughs walls that surrounded him. His boots pressed against the bars, allowing him to almost fully stretch out the limbs. The hazel eyed male took a glance at the other's position, though failed to comment on it as he wasn't breaking any rules that Jack was informed of. Levi raised an eyebrow, in fake interest as he heard the other's action, repeating the small sound in a mocking way. The male shifted the angle of his head, frowning faintly at the clear damage upon the titan-shifter. The blonde and raven haired shifted their gazes to the soldier simultaneously.


A look of boredom settled on his features as he returned the other's stare, stormy eyes highlighted by the weak glow provided by small flames. He seemed to frown at the fact that the red head had called the other a simple; "titan". He's still a human, asshole. He corrected, non-bothering to even speak up as he didn't want to waste his energy on the cadet. Go ahead. Gives me more of a reason for slaughter. Levi mentally stated, letting out a simply scoff at the other's action. "I guess those fancy pigs are getting even more desperate now. I'm supposing that's the only reason they gave a rank at all." The man added, letting out an seemingly amused huff at the soldier's statement. "Disgusting creature? I never knew they were murdering you. Good riddance." He commented, though was unable to deny the swelling feeling in his chest as he watched the blade pierce through the boy's face. The feeling only grew worse at the pained shout emitted from the brown haired male. He breathed in deeply, sending a somewhat irritated yet gloomy expression at Tegan.


I'll wipe that smile off your stupid face. He concluded, shifting around the small area to a slightly more comfortable position. "I bet everyone here would greatly appreciate it if you did, indeed shut your mouth." Levi responded, silently taking note of the end half of the male's sentence. He let out a quiet yawn seconds later, taking a glance at the golden haired male who sat outside his cell. The soldier was currently staring up at the sky, proving to be much quieter and somewhat politer than his fellow comrade. His brown eyes searching for any signs of the stunning stars that usually showed up in the night.
 
The constant flow of words that had fallen from the dark-haired elite's mouth only continued the wretched anger to swell in the redhead's chest. He's specifically warned the man to keep his mouth shut, didn't he? The fact that he'd even utter a single vowel after the display of torture almost boggled Tegan's mind. Almost.


With frustration rising in his throat, he dipped down to the Titan's cage, unlocking it and grasping the freak by the ankle. He tugged hard on his leg, the joint threatening to pop out of it's socket. Eren grabbed onto the bars of his cell as soon as the feeling of fingertips fell along his leg, trying hard to keep himself inside of his prison, that started to feel more like a safe haven. He clenched his teeth together, sounds seizing to escape his severed lips. "Let go, you putrid piece of shit!" The soldier yelled, yanking with both hands one last time.


pop!


Pain exploded in the green-eyed male's side, his leg falling out from it's socket and laying limp in the other's hand. This action had caused him to rip his hands away from the metal poles, palms grasping his thigh as agony slipped from his tongue. His lung had healed completely, but his concentration was cut by another tug at his limb, sinews detaching themselves as he was dragged along the dirt. His face fell against the gravel, rocks digging into his bloodied cheeks, scraping against raw flesh. He clawed at the ground desperately, reaching through the darkness with fear dripping from his mind. He couldn't see his attacker, could barely make out the sound of his breathing, and had no way of finding Levi's face.


This was a nightmare, come true.


"You should have shut your trap when you had the chance Heichou." the soldier sneered, his knee falling along the human-titan's throat, cutting off his breathing. The titan struggled under the weight, hands grasping for his thigh and trying to pry it from his jugular. Choking and wheezing, he flailed his only moving leg letting his boot fly up and collide with Tegan's shoulder.


That didn't stand well with the redhead.


A flash of teeth, a quick flick of his wrist, and a blade sliced through Yeager's thigh.


Too shocked to scream, Eren stopped moving completely, his arms going limp. He stared wide eyed at the sky, unable to make out the stars through the swirling blackness. Steam had begun to rise from the gaping hole in the side of his head, thoughts whirling uncontrollably. If he couldn't keep himself together, they'd have no chance at living. He'd die, and Levi would live the rest of his days in a dungeon. They'd train him until his fingers bled, and then send him to his death whenever the titan's would breech. He'd be like a caged animal, exactly like they were treating him right now.


Another slice of his skin ripped the soldier from his own mind, a scream falling through his teeth once again. This only continued the uncontrollable one-armed man's reign of destruction, his razor raking off the boy's knuckles. Then he sliced through thick elbow, the crunch of bone giving him a sickening satisfaction. Titan blood slashed across his face, the bitter metallic-lemon taste flying into his open mouth. it scorched his tongue, making him even more rage-full. "You see, Levi. This is what happens when you leave a man for dead." He sneered through clenched teeth, working his way up to Eren's shoulder, only this time he severed half of the joint. He paused for a while, his knee falling from the male's throat.


A sense of false relief fell over Eren's brain, oxygen reaching his lungs finally. He struggled for air, breathing deeply.


Only to find that the worse wasn't over.


Tegan lifted his limp arm, boot falling over the male's chest. He tugged sharply, the sound of flesh tearing allowing more agonized yelps to grip at the human's throat.
 
A small gust of wind entered into the space he was forced into, creating a pleasant breeze. Grey eyes seemed to almost droop at the light feeling of gentle coldness across his face. The sensation reminded him of soft fingertips, brushing over his pale flesh and threading through his raven locks. Levi knew the feeling of drowsiness would eventually overtake his body, though he would attempt to remain awake till that time. He shifted his legs around for a moment, so the soles would be able to press against the wall by his right. It was a strange position to be in, but it was comfortable at the time being.


~~~


The blonde sat back, still upon the dirt, using his hands to prop himself up. Gaze set on the heavens, he began to wonder what stars actually were. He considered the fact that they may be all little suns, or glowing planets. He thought how they could be floating orbs that travel throughout the night sky. He wondered if they were flying vehicles driven by unknown...things. Nevertheless, Jack wanted to know what the hell they were made of and what they were. He turned his head down briefly to glance at the black haired male, returning his head back up, only to take a second look at the other. The pose the male was in seemed peculiar, though the blonde failed to question the other's ability to sit like that without extreme pain. While his gaze was on the elite, he decided to allow his eyes to linger.


Corporal Levi. Said to be Humanity's Strongest Soldier. Estimated to be worth the entire Survey Corps. Of course, many told stories of his incredible skills, portraying the raven haired as a perfect hero. A man with devilishly handsome looks and skills like no other. Jack could safely confirm that part of the tales, though it would seem like the rest wasn't. Levi did not have a perfect tempter with infinite patience. He didn't have that charming, dazzling smile that many possessed. He wasn't the stereotypical hero. It wasn't like Jack was disappointed in any way, the Corporal was still his role model.


Before his mind could wander any-more, a yell brought him back to reality.


~~~


All signs of fatigue vanished from the elite's face, well, that's what it seemed like. Gaze locked on the red head who was attempting to drag the hazel haired male out of his cell. The pain that the young male has experienced so far seemed to make sympathy dwell in his chest. Also, the burning flames of anger. The words the other shrieked the titan-shifter caused a surge of rage to travel through his veins. However, the expression upon Levi failed to show any of the emotions he was currently experiencing. The scene of a heavily damaged Eren being forcefully dragged along the rough ground revved up hidden anger within him, hands tightening into fists behind his back.


~~~


He couldn't bring himself to watch the torture that was being inflicted onto the brown haired male. Jack averted his gaze from the two, settling it on the ground in-front of him. Even there, he could spot the crimson colour out the corner of his eye. All of this humans fighting each other did, in fact, make him sick. He hated the damage people could deal to their very own kind, without even batting an eyelash. Jack believed the ones who do so, were the real monsters.


~~~


The elite had witnessed the entire duration of the soldier's attack on Eren, for some unknown reason. He knew he did want to turn his gaze away from the two, as the sight of the one he cherished being torn up caused a strange, uncomfortable feeling in his heart. Though he would continue to watch, ignoring the said sensation in him. Once the male spoke, his unwavering gaze travelled up to his face. His face showed no particular expression but intense boredom. Levi remained silent for a couple of seconds, watching as the red head preformed his final action, for seemingly now. "You know, what I just experienced was highly disturbing." The male spoke up, shifting into a position where his face would be visible from the front. "So disturbing that I may wish I never saw it. And there's only one way to permanently forget something." He continued, causing his guard's gaze to shift back on him. "I could, and will, smash my head against this s****y excuse for a cell until my skull cracks and I bleed to death if that happens again. You may not be able to physically hurt me, but you possibly could mentally. If I suicide from simply seeing your actions, it will be. All. Your. Fault." Levi stated, an unreadable expression upon his face as Jack stared at him with enlarged eyes.
 
With every sinew that regarded itself from Eren's shoulder, a sharp yelp would fall from his throat. He was now able to make out the sillouhett of his attacker, eyes wide at the feeling of the flesh tearing from his body. He desperately wanted to beg for mercy, to scream for a chance to prove he wasn't the monster everyone was accusing him of being. "This... is... personal." Tegan grunted with every sharp tug.


Levi's voice rose up through the cracks, sinking in the air with a dark warning. Though it might have been in desperate attempts to stop the Titan from enduring anymore agony, it didn't defeated that way. A warning, slicing deep into the back of the one-armed man's mind. He dropped the limp limb, a small string of muscle the only thing keeping it attached to Eren's body.


Silence fell around him, and the boy lay as still as a rock, mind trembling from the agony that consumed him. It hurt to breathe, to even strain his vision past the corner of his eye. His lungs were tired, and his stomach weak. Sickness surged up his throat, bile and blood coating the inside of his jugular. He couldn't hold it back, his cheeks seizing to be of use. The contents of his stomach exploded from between his clenched teeth, spilling over the ground and slashing across his chest. The soldier backed away in disgust, his boot falling from the human-titan's abdomen. He squat next to the other's head, his blade balanced on the tip of the green-eyed man's chin. Frustration was visible in the dark eyes. "You're lucky we need your Corporal breathing." He said, his face inches from Eren's ripped blood-crusted features. "Otherwise your pretty little brains would be smeared across my boots." He sheathed his blade, grasping the boy by the top of the head, fingers tight around brown locks. Eren winced, his hands grasping onto the man's only wrist, his foot slamming against the ground before he was thrown back into the confined space. His head flew into the side of the cage, mind swimming. Team slammed the gate closed, shoving the male into an uncomfortable scrunched position. He lay still, breathing heavily. His body had begun to shudder, his heart rippling fast under his ribs. He'd never endured so much pain, surprised he was still conscious. He felt tears fall from his lids, splashing over his torn cheeks, the salt stinging as the hole in the side of his skull closed. His vision had returned fully, eyes pinning on the face of his captain. Someone he'd desperately wished to be held by. He lay his forehead against the cold metal, gathering himself under the dark sky.
 
Is he being serious? The male pondered, his eyes failing to return to their original size. He searched the elite's face for any indication that he was simply bluffing, though found none. The expression upon the raven haired's face was a mixture of seriousness and boredom, which also amazed Jack how Levi could keep the same face for such long periods of time. Corporal's relationship with Eren is much stronger than I thought. I guess they're actually friends. The blonde mentally concluded, pulling his legs up to his chest. Or does he just not like commotion / scene? He wondered, resting the top of his chin upon his knees.

A wave of relief washed over his form as he watched the red head cease his cruel acts. His hands loosened, removing the pain of his nails digging into his palms. He sat back in the small cage, allowing another yawn to escape his lips. After noticing the lack of movement from the hazel haired male, Levi blinked. He better not be f****** dead. He let out a huff, unable to see from the angle he was currently at. If that assumption was reality, all the happiness that had settled into his mind would vanish in a heartbeat. As well as every ounce of his stoic composure. The said thought was pushed aside as he witnessed the contents of the male's stomach spew out from his mouth. Of course, he was disgusted by the action but also somewhat glad that Eren showed some signs of life.


The two males watched the Tegan placed the titan-shifter back into his cell. Well, neither of them could really call it that. More like a "box". Jack pushed himself onto his feet, only to take a seat on the chair he had discarded earlier on. He crossed his left leg over his right, placing both palms on his knees. Levi had changed in his sitting position away, this time his feet would press against the bar, and his head would rest against the wall, a emerald green fabric between his head and the harshly textured surface. He had caught the other's gaze, and had begun to admire how Eren's eyes possessed a stunning shade of green. He had yet to tell the said male that he adored the pools of turquoise, which were vividly unique compared to his steel greys. Levi made it a mental mission to do so, if he would have the chance again.


~~~


Twenty-five minutes or so would past and the corporal would be half asleep, his eyes half-lidded with drowsiness. A recruit walked up to the golden haired male, tapping him on the shoulder with a free hand. Jack turned his head to face his fellow soldier, eyes setting on the three pieces of bread in the man's arms. "Here, take two. One for yourself and one for the Corporal." The male instructed, who received a glance from the black haired elite. Jack nodded, taking hold of two the items that nestled in the taller male's arm. The soldier then made his way over to Tegan, around the pool of bile and blood, handing him the final piece of bread before strolling off.


The blonde male moved off the stool once again, taking a seat upon the earth. Levi stared at his portion, with a somewhat disapproving glint in his eyes. As the other reached towards the smaller male, he parted his lips to speak. "I don't need that much." The corporal stated, letting out an irritated sigh at the other male's look of concern. "Spilt it and give the other half to Eren when he can move his mouth." Levi added, causing Jack to pause in his actions. The blonde considered the male's request, his gaze travelling between the two swiftly. "Well, alright. We can't the rest of it wasted if you won't eat it all." The young soldier responded, taking the bread in both his hands, after placing his own on his knee, and ripping it into two.
 
The simple thought of feeding the titan any sort of nutriance made Tegan's blood boil. He glared at Jack, raising his hand to his blade. "Don't feed the animals." He sneered, repeating the words that would originally be displayed over a lion's pen at a zoo. He had been standing for the past half hour, the loaf of bread the other soilder hand handed to him, held between his teeth as he said this. He let his hand grip around the blade, sticking the tip into the food clutched in his mouth. He whipped his head to the side, tearing off a piece and chewing thoroughly before swallowing. He pointed the blade at Jack, dark eyes serious. "You just keep your worries on the Corporal, the Titan is under my jouristriction." He growled. He's been specifically assigned to watch over Eren until the trials took place, given orders to use force if the male disobeyed or attempted to construct an escape with Heichou.


"Just deal with your prisoner, and I'll deal with mine." He room another bite of his loaf


Eren's mouth had begun to water from the wonderful smell of freshly baked goods. The last thing he remembered eating was the titan. The thought made his stomach flip, a wave of sickness washing over him once more. He swallowed hard, keeping the nausea at bay. She turned his face away from Levi's gaze, ashamed of himself. He'd just been split into parts by a one-armed cadet, one that had clawed up the ranks within days of being pronounced dead. He was a sore excuse for a soldier. He couldn't face his captain right now, couldn't let him see how harshly his body jolted with unbearable fear. If he spoke, Tegan would slice him open. If he was cut open, his Corporal would slam his skull against the metal bars until he killed himself. The image burned behind his eyes making him take in an sharp breath. The sound of his gasp caught the redhead's attention, and he glared down at the boy. Eren shrunk to the back of his cage, spine almost cracking against the hard surface. He should have eaten the soldier when he had a chance.
 
The blonde could feel the stoic gaze of the black haired elite boring into his figure as he precisely spilt the piece of food into two equal parts. Just as he began to rise to his feet, holding the two spilt pieces in one hand and his own portion in the other, the red head's voice reached his ears. His head turned to face his fellow soldier, blinking several times at his words. He parted his lips for a moment, about to respond with a defence for the hazel haired male's humanity. Though he shut them seconds later, knowing that it would simply end up in a argument between the two guards. Jack could almost feel the air of anger vibrating from the corporal as he processed Tegan's words. A low grumble of some sort emitted from the raven's lips, sounding somewhat like a curse. He failed to flinch at the sudden rise of the other's blade, a exasperated expression tugging down his features. After letting out a long sigh, he parted his lips to respond. "Alright then." Jack returned to his spot upon the dirt, only to be met with a irritated frown.


Levi allowed a sign of anger to show upon his face as he laid eyes upon his guard once again. Knowing that he couldn't use the same threat he had deployed earlier, he had no choice but to remain silent. He shifted his gaze over to the titan-shifter for a moment, only to see the other had averted his gaze. A breathy sigh escaped his lips, his features almost softening for a mere moment before he spotted something in-front of his face.


Steel eyes travelled back to the front, staring at the golden haired male's hand which held the piece of food centimetres from his face. "Go on, Corporal. We can't have you starving." Jack urged, keeping his hand still as possible in case he would somehow irritated the other by accidentally shoving the food into his face. "Hm, but you can allow Eren to." Levi countered, though leaned forward, his pale lips parted. He sunk his teeth into the side of the bread, pulling back to tear off a chunk. Having placed the other half on his knee, Jack had almost began eating his rations as well.


Despite the fact that Levi would never admit, he was glad to be eating food that he was used to. Unlike hare. The bread had a faint hint of vanilla, meaning that it had originated from the Military Police as they had the best funds. Sugar was highly expensive at this time, which meant that the Survey Corps barely ever had anything sweet and when they did, it had to be a special occasion. The one time he had cinnamon buns, was on his birthday. Petra had managed to get her hands upon the ingredients, and bake the treats herself. Hange had decided to help her fellow soldier with the task, and had ended up nearly burning down the kitchen. Luckily, Erwin had managed to stop the scientist from doing any more harm before it actually did. Nevertheless, Levi would have to say that birthday was one of the best he has had so far.
 
After a few long silent moments, the redhead lowered his blade. He pulled the tip to his mouth, teeth sinking into the crust with a crackle. The sound of his enjoyment of the food made Eren stare at him with longing. His mouth had begun to salivate uncontrollably, the lack of cheek flesh making the spittle fall from between his teeth, mixing with blood. Tegan glanced sideways at the titan, staring directly at him as he took another bite. He returned to a squatting position in front of the cage, the corporal's words still hanging around his neck. "Ah, but he won't starve." He said, simply. The freckled man licked his lips, large pupils bearing into Eren's emerald hues. "If he can regenerate his flesh, a night without a meal won't kill him." He said this as he ripped another piece off the baked good with his teeth, crumbs falling into the metal crate.


The human-titan's stomach growled loudly, his eyebrows turned up in pain as a pang of hunger ripped through his abdomen. He could smell the blood running through the high-ranked officer's veins. His eyes wandered to the artery under the skin of his neck, watching it jump with every pump of his measly heart. Thoughts roared through his brain, making his head spin. He wanted to desperately clamp his jaws around the said male's flesh, tear his skin from his bones and slide the fragments of white into his molars. He'd crush them into dust, and savor every bit of marrow that crawled down his throat.


Without thinking he jerked forward, his maw snapping ravenously. As if he were an animal. His eyes were wide, all forms of humanity slipping from his features.


The sudden movement of the Titan caused the one-armed man to fall back onto his rump, a gasp rippling from his lips. He lifted his leg, kicking at the prison sharply. "I told you he was a Titan." He said dully, his face resembling the same grey expression that often occupied Levi's own features.


Eren slumped back, surprised at his unintentional action. He winced sharply, almost expecting a blade to slice between his eyes.


"Go the hell to sleep. You're trial is tomorrow." Team growled, kicking the cell once more before retreating a few feet away and continuing to devour the bread from his sword.
 
After thoroughly chewing the chunk inside his mouth, he swallowed the pleasant tasting item. His eyes set upon his guard's face for a mere moment, noticing that the other was staring at somewhere in the distant. The other's arm was pushed against the side of one of the bars, which allowed him to keep his hand perfectly still. Levi still seemed to be irritated at the fact that his subordinate was not receiving any sort of food to relieve their hunger. He moved his head back forward, jaws clamping around a reasonably large part of the bread. He tore the segment off from the rest, which caused the fact that the elite would not be able to fit the entire bit into his mouth at once to become clear. A huff exited his nose, which caused Jack to turn his head back towards the male.


The blonde blinked several times before understanding the small predicament that the raven had managed to get himself into. Holding his own piece in his mouth, the man reached forward with his now free hand and lightly grasped onto the end of the chunk sticking out of Levi's mouth. He stared at the younger soldier for a moment, before jerking his head away, to remove the remaining part he couldn't fit into his mouth. Non-wanting to speak with his mouth full, the elite remained silent as he chewed the food with the golden haired male watching. Once finished the mouthful, he reached back forward and placed his lips around the small section of nourishment in the other's fingers. Jack swiftly released the item once he felt that the black haired male had grasped onto it tight enough so it wouldn't fall. It was obvious Levi wasn't happy about being hand fed, as his features showed his irritation.


Steel grey eyes rolled as he processed what the red head had stated. He watched how the soldier seemingly teased the forest green eyed male, a light rage beginning to build up in his chest once again. The elite had immediately swallowed the piece in his mouth, his angered expression vanishing a moment later after he witnessed the younger male's action. Jack turned his head around to face Eren as well, blinking as he only saw his fellow comrade sitting upon the ground. Levi let out a scoff at the other's comment, considering the idea of making another insulting remark. He soon decided against his former idea, knowing that his mind was already growing drowsy once again. He moved forward, taking another bite from his portion of food.


~~~


The black haired male couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy in his heart as he stared at Eren. He had finished one half of the food he was provided with, and had finally given in to eating the rest of the bread after a dozen minutes of persuading from Jack. Levi craved to leave the cramped cage, and wrap his arms around the hazel haired male. Like he would have before.
 
Without speaking the human-titan shrunk into his cage, eyes glancing at Levi as he tried to calm his heartrate. He desperately wanted the other's company, to feel his arms around the corporal's torso. This hell he was in, was nothing compared to what may lie before him after the sun would rise. With fear in his gut he shifted towards Heichou's cage, his cheek falling along the bar nearest the raven-haired man's cell. He stared at him with soft pleading green eyes for a long while, before eventually falling into an uncomfortable light sleep. Steam rose from every wound in his body as he slept, filling the air with the smell of water vapor and blood.


Chants filled his ears, their words meshed together in an unclear riot. He could hear the clang of swords on wood, the smell of flaming torches seeping into his nostrils. He strained his hearing to make out the harsh vowels that escaped from a million different journeys, heart sinking as he made out the cries.





Kill the Titan


Burn the corpse


Kill the Titan


Burn the corpse

​




It rang through the thick air for what seemed like millions of years, his eyes covered with a forigne object. He was unable to see, making the fear he'd felt before rise into his throat. This was it. He was dead.


"Eren, don't fight this. You knew it was coming eventually." A familiar voice spoke softly into his ear. His bottom lip trembled.


"Levi, tell them, please! I'm not a monster, you know this!"


"I can't preach what I don't believe, Titan." The corporal hissed harshly.


A wave of sickness filled his stomach, bile spewing from his lips. He was right, he was always right. Levi was the only person in the world who understood him more then he understood himself. If he believed Eren was a beast, deserving death, then it must he true. "I love you, Levi." He said through a cracking voice, tears staining the dark cloth along his brow.


"I could never love a monster." He growled.


The sound of metal clanging together jolted the human-titan awake. His eyes peeping open to the sound of harsh loud voices. His vision blurred, mind breaking into two slivers. Half-asleep, he didn't move, the voices growing harsher. "Get up!" Tegan snarled, a hand clasping around brown locks.


Eren was tugged harshly by the hair, his feet dragging on the ground as he wrapped his fingers around his captor's hands, a yelp escaping his lips. His cheeks had fully healed over night, all wounds closed with fresh pink scars that had begun to slowly fade. "Put shackles on him for fuck's sake!" The high-ranked one armed officer commanded, sending three low-mouthed cadets racing to his side. He threw the soldier to the ground, his knees scraping against the harsh gravel. Green eyes widened when his gaze fell along Bertolt Hoover, holding a pair of rusy cuffs in his palm. Their gazes locked, and the man quickly tore his dark green hues away from the titan-shifter's. He survived? Who else is alive? Eren stared, dumbfounded as his fellow 104th graduating comrade locked the metal rings around his wrist. "Bertolt..." he breathed, but was quickly cut off by a blow to the side of the head. The boot feeling familiar against his skull, it was Tegan. The man was obviously not a fan of the titan, and never would be.


"Shut up! Hoover, leave, you're not needed!" He snarled, and the tall man crept away silently, but not without noticing Heichou still cramped in the small crate.
 
Finishing the sweet source of nourishment, he sat back in the cage, away from the one who was keeping him prisoner. Levi's legs barely stretched out to their full extent, which caused him to note down the fact that he would probably be limping whenever he next got the chance to walk. The blonde stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth a couple of moments later, sitting in a kneeling position. Chocolate brown eyes scanned the noticeably smaller frame of the corporal for a few seconds, tearing their gaze away as the said elite began to notice the attention. Jack pushed himself up onto his feet, moving a metre or so, only to take a seat on the wooden stool that had been provided for him. Knowing that the rest of the night would be tense as no one seemed to be willing to speak, he began to fidget with his hands. Tracing small patterns on his trouser leg idly, he let out a breathy sigh. This is going to be a long, long night.


~~~


Steel eyes glared viscously at the feet on his guard, venom lurking in the dark pools of colour. He had noticed the gaze of the other far before he showed it. He despised it. He hated how some people would stare at him with this strange longing in their eyes. With a overwhelming passion of some sort. Some may actually like that type of stare, but Levi definitely didn't. The only feeling it would give him was a sense of apprehension. He felt like they were undressing him with their eyes. The mere thought of the action sent shivers up his spine, as well a churning sensation in his stomach.


Of course, there was one human in this world that he would allow to send him these sort of looks. And that person was the one he stared currently stared at.


Some sort of dark emotion clouded his already dull eyes, as they met with vivid forest hues. Levi watched as Eren shifted towards him, which would cause a twitch of his pale lips. He wanted to whisper gentle reassurances to the younger soldier, he wanted to embrace the other's annoyingly taller form in his arms, he wanted to hear the comforting beat of the other's heart. Most of all, Levi wanted to tell Eren he loved him.


As the other's eyes slowly shut, the black haired male silently bid him a restful night's sleep. Knowing that his wish would probably not come true, he shifted into the most comfortable position he would manage before allowing his body to relax. His eyelids slowly slid close, shielding the hazy grey eyes from anyone else.


~~~


His legs shifted constantly at a steady pace, which allowed him to walk through the halls. His head craned around his surroundings, only to see neatly wallpapered walls and the occasional covered window. The area seemed somewhat familiar to him. Though he couldn't quite pinpoint why.


After seemingly an hour of walking through empty corridors, something inside him urged him to stop at a birch wooden door. This door was different from all the others he had past. The handle of this one was silver, instead of oak. Levi's gloved hand reached out, fingers grasping tightly onto the item, turning it briefly before pushing it open. His gaze set upon the mesmerizing moonlight that flooded into the dark room through the uncovered window. As all the glass he had walked by were shielded by curtains or cloth, he had been unable to tell it was raining heavily outside. He temporarily released the item he had been grasping onto, before taking a couple of steps into the considerably vast room.


After a quick scan, he confirmed the presence of a grand piano in the right corner, a couch near the left, two large windows by either side of him, and bookshelves that filled the spaces beside the entrance. In the middle, lay a large, decorative rug, which almost touched the edges of the room. The area gave off a sort of melancholy feeling, though was still somewhat peaceful.


Levi waited a couple of seconds, before making his move. He sauntered over to the large couch, moving aside a couple of cushions so he was able to lay down upon it. Once he was in a comfortable position, the emptiness in his hands seemed to grow overwhelming. This feeling caused his fingers to grasp onto a soft, square cushion, and wrap his arms around the object. His head was propped up against the padded armrest, which gave him a view of the patterned ceiling. Long, swirling lines covered the surface of the ceiling, almost giving it a delicate theme. The silence was almost enough to send him into a relaxed state, before a presence to his side interrupted it.


Levi turned his head to see who it was, only to come face to face with a smiling Eren. The young male had taken a sitting position by the sofa, so he would be perfect height for the corporal. A hand reached out and lightly brushed it's fingers over raven locks. The gentle touch almost brought a smile to Levi's lips, as he shifted his figure so he would face the other completely. Long digits thread themselves through the man's silky hair, occasionally twirling them around. Levi's gaze never strayed from the other as this activity took place, staring at the titan-shifter with the most adoring look he could manage. After a couple of minutes, Eren's hand slowly stopped, settling for resting his pale upon the shorter soldier's head. A moment would past, before the hazel haired male opened his mouth.


Instead of simple words, the beginning of a





emitted from the other's delicate lips. Levi shut his eyes a couple of seconds prior to when the tune began. His hand reached out, blindly fumbling for Eren's free hand as he felt like he would destroy his peacefulness if he would part his eyes. Fingers intertwined with his own moments later, bringing their hands to rest upon a small space upon the cushion.
Three minutes and a half would past, before the younger soldier finished his calming song. The black haired male was on the edge of slumber, though fought to stay awake so he would be able to stay with the other male longer. He could almost see the bright grin of his beloved through his eyelids. A pair of soft lips pressed against his forehead, sending a warm feeling throughout his body. Something inaudible left the other's lips, before he spoke up.


"Goodnight, Levi." Eren whispered as he detached his lips from the elite's flesh. The gentle pressure of the palm upon his head seemed to slowly fade away, as well as the warmth of the hand that had been pressed against his own. A tear escaped from the corner of his left eye, which would only travel down the side of his face before dripping onto the soft fabric he lay upon. His now empty hand clenched into a loose fist, before releasing as he outstretched his arm. Fingers grasping at thin air, dark eyes eventually parted. Tears clouded his vision, as he continued to grab at nothing. "Come back, Eren..." Levi mumbled, using all of his will power to prevent himself from bursting into a fit of tears.


He no longer felt warmth. Only cold.


~~~


Awaking to the sound of loud voices, his eyes reluctantly opened to see what was happening. Even without the aid of his fingers, he knew there were dried tears upon his pale face. His limbs ached due to being in the same position for such a long period of time. He turned his head towards the sight of a certain titan-shifter upon the ground. Levi blinked, letting out a short yawn before he spotted a familiar face. Bertolt Hoover? He remembered seeing the soldier a couple of times in the former base, though he always seemed to hang around with Reiner. The teenager didn't irritate him in any way back then, as he was always quiet and seemingly reserved till spoken to. He was faintly surprised at the fact that the soldier didn't bear any noticeable injuries and had managed to escape.


Before he had any more time to wonder about the soldier, the movement of a boot crashing into Eren's head drew his attention away. A frown immediately settled down on his features at the action, his stiff fingers flexing for a couple of seconds.
 
Red hair fell over hazel, almost golden eyes. Tegan lifted his hand and swept long fingers across his brow, removing stray locks from his face. "Leo, Theador, Kit, get the Corporal. Dale, and the others will take the titan to the courtroom. Leave him there, and guard him until trial is ready." His voice was stern, and harsh. It seemed his crazed eyes, and noticeable battle scars were enough to make the cadets jump at his command.


"Yes sir!" All seven soldiers cried at once, slamming their fists to their hearts in a salute.


Thoughts swirled in the human-titan's brain, stinging the inside of his skull with their rapid winds. He felt three hands fall over him, one on each arm, and one to the nape of his neck, the cold bite of a blade to his spine. At first he didn't know what to do, letting his body be shoved in front of shuffling boots. He opened his mouth to speak, but the only thing he was focused on was seeing Heichou before his final moments.


"Levi!" Eren yelled, staring at him with wide pleading green eyes. "Please, no, I have to see him!" His feet refused to work, and he dug his heals into the gravel, neck craning to see his high-ranked officer through the thick cage bars.


Tegan's teeth ground together. An unpleasently tense aura falling over the crowd of soldiers waiting for their commands. The titan's outburst had sent a cloud of silence over the swarm of soldiers, all seeming to hold their breath and stare with nervousness at their new commanding officer.


"Cut his tongue out if he speaks again. No water. No food. No comfort." He said cooly, and waved them off with his hand before turning towards the raven-haired man crammed in the small cage. "You four" he pointed to a small selection of large burly men, their arms thicker then their skulls. They reeked of sweat and blood. "Escort Corporal Heichou to his chambers, make sure he gets washed and ready. We want him to look his best when he's sent to his death. Don't want a mess of a corps. That wouldn't make for a very good ceremony." He chuckled, never tearing his golden eyes away from Levi. It seemed that the color of his hues had changed since the night before. Once dark and brooding, almost black, now golden and bright. Almost amused.


As soon as the redhead had spoken, a fourth and fifth soldier followed suit, their palms and blades resting to Eren's ribs. Cut his tongue out if he speaks again.


The young male let the warning bounce around in his head for a long while, his teeth clicking together as fear raked up his throat. He swallowed hard, biting back his bitter horror. "What do you know about the Trial?" He murmured to a golden haired woman with strong arms and a sharp mouth. Her nose was hooked at the end, her skin dark. She glanced at him sideways, face almost as sullen as Levi's.


"You heard the General." Her voice was high pitched, but bleak.


"You can cut my tongue out after you tell me what's going to happen to Levi." He snapped, but his eyebrows were pulled up in the middle, face dripping with worry and plea.


"Levi will live." A grey eyed man grumbled, his shoulders longer then Reiner's, towering over Eren like a building. "You, on the other hand, have no chance." With that a smile crept over his bearded face, making the hair along his chin almost dance when a laugh rumbled his chest.


"Grab his tongue." A short white-haired boy spoke softly, white eyes with pinprick pupils shot towards Eren's mouth, a grim expression on his feminine face. The other two, and a fourth black haired slippery man all grabbed at Eren, their fingers clasping around his limbs. The slippery man's hands fell along the titan's thighs, holding him into place a little too close for comfort.


The small ghostly boy had metal tips on his fingers, their copper-tasting nails forcing Yeager's mouth open. He yelled, eyes closed tightly. He didn't think they would actually follow orders. He'd underestimated the corrupt power of the Military Police, leaving him broken once again. He continued to speak, though, even as the fifth soldier with orange flaming hair grasped his tongue with a metal clamp. "You don't know the whole story, please you have to understand". But the organ between his jaws was being pulled on, making his words blend together in an inaudible lip less murmur.


The colorless eyed boy flicked his wrist and a switchblade in his hand opened, the grated edge falling heavily along the human-titan's taste buds. Eren could hear the knife slice through his flesh, blood filling his open maw and spilling upon the pebbel road. He instinctively ripped his head away, trying to stop the painfull laceration. The flaming haired woman kept her grip on the tip of his tongue, making the slice in his flesh rip. He yelled, scarlet ribbons pouring out of his opened mouth, sizzling and steaming as it fell. The hot liquid splashed over their faces, dissapearing into vapor after a few seconds.


"Hold still, you piece of shit!" The grey eyed cadet growled.


They all smiled and laughed at his pain, their venemous voices ringing in his brain as the explosion of agony continued when the small boy reached between the titan's teeth and ripped the organ out the rest of the way. He waved the dismembered slab of pink flesh in front of Eren's face before tossing it at his feet and grabbing him by the hair.


Humiliation rested heavy on his shoulders, choking on his own hot blood. He could feel the inside of his mouth scorch as they pushedand pulled him forward, leading him into a large white marble building. Above the courthouse double doors sat the three goddesses of the walls, their statues so anatomyly correct you could swear they were real people. Their hands were outstretched to the sky.


Maria held a scythe in her left hand, a bundle of grain in her right. Sina, in the middle, was adorned in golden jewelry. Her left hand full of golden coins, right hand carrying a thick metal sheild bearing the three Military Police branches' crests. Rose, tall and thick with muscles on her arms, held a long broad silver sword in her left hand, and her right clasped tightly to her heart in a never ending solute.


The pale haired boy, shorter then the Corporal, but stronger then him as well, yanked Yeager through the thick marble doors. The four others were nestled behind them, their maneuver gear steaming. Blades flashed as the sun fell upon them between long towering pane-less windows. Metal teeth threatened to break the Titan's silence if he so much as looked at one of the five cadets wrong. Things had changed, drastically, since the Survey Corps had left. It seemed the corruption within the bregaid had bloomed into a noxious gas, filling the soldiers with poisionous hate.


Inside the courthouse there was a gaping hole in the marble dome, possibly caused by the battle that had taken place months ago. Large planks of wood were cluttered along the gap, men strung up on 3DM gear repairing the structure with difficulty. Their eyes cast down towards the green eyed male, sharp stares slamming into the top of his head, causing his face to fall. Guilt pooled in his mouth, tasting like hot copper.


The click of heavy heals on the stone floor echoed off the large hall. Pillars hid large black oaken doors that lead to several courtrooms. His heart fell in his stomach, the only thing on his mind : escape.


Forest green eyes darted around them, realizing there was only one way out, and he couldn't go through with it. Not without Levi.


He couldn't leave without him.


They shuffled through the door in the very middle of the building, opening into a large room with stadium bleachers surrounding a raised slab of stone, two large poles on each side. The same as when he went on trial after sealing the hole in wall Rose.


Only this room was ten times larger, and he had a feeling their audiance would be too big to fit.


Being too busy gawking, he realized he'd stopped dead in his tracks to stare when the burly bearded cadet wrapped his large hand over the back of his neck and shoved him over, making him trip and fall into the raised stage. His knees slammed against the concrete, cracking his kneecaps and making him wince. He tried to stand, but a boot collided between his shoulder blades, knocking the wind out of him. His cheek squished against the floor, making him grit his teeth. "I can't wait to see your blood all over this pretty white floor, Titan." The little white-haired boy whispered into his ear before pulling him up to his knees, and dragging him across the floor by a handful of dark hair. Eren struggled and grunted in pain as he desperately tried to gain his footing, but the aching in his knees only caused his legs to buckle and waver when his heals finally hit the floor for support.


His back was slammed against the iron pole, vibrating through his spine and shaking his ribs. He felt anger well, inside his chest, teeth set together so tightly he could feel his enamel crack and chip. The titan inside him wrapped its fingers around his intestines, whispering disturbing secrets inside his stomach. Smell them. Remember their faces. I'll make us free. I'll keep you strong.


A sickening smile wrapped around lips, his red-stained teeth showing in his grin. Steam fell from the gaps in his jaws, scarlet dripping down his chin. Three soldiers held him down, yanking his shackled hands behind his back and sliding the thick rod into place. He tested the strength, using all his power to bang his chains. When they didn't budge he just sat there staring at the five corrupt children, not one of them younger then he. His stomach growled loudly. Hunger drying his throat.


His tongue had regenerated by now, and he rolled it around in his mouth for a few seconds. "You think this can bind me? Can bind Levi?" He laughed, eyelids drooping. The twisted grin was lingering along his features, the same one that rose before he tried to eat Heichou. The same one that had caused confusion among soldiers. The smell of their bodies filtered through his lungs, his head tipped down so he was staring at his knees. Dark hair fell over his face, saliva dripping through his clenched teeth.


"I wouldn't be talking like that if I was you, monster." The carrot-colored girl sneered, the tip of her blade moving hair away from the Titan's forehead.


Eren didn't move. Didn't speak. Didn't breath.


He was frozen, grinning at his knees, a constant flow of drool falling upon his trousers.


"Did you break him Gregory?" The orange haired girl asked the bearded man.


"Fuck you Hannah, I didn't do shit to him." Grey eyes narrowed.


"Well you're the one who kicked 'im!" She screamed back.


"Shut up, all of you." The shortest pale boy growled, his fingers wrapping around brown hair once more and lifting the human-titan's head again.


All they saw was the nerve-wracking blank drooping stare, teeth showing in a disgusting smile that churned their stomachs.


He quickly dropped his head.


"I don't like that." He mumbled, rubbing his hand on his orange garrison jacket, like he was wiping off invisible slime residue from the titan-shifter's head.

Ashen grey hues watched the man's every move, his gaze refusing to allow itself to stray from him. It was like he had managed to convince himself that the moment his sight was drawn away from the red-head, Tegan would end up wounding a certain shifter. Despite the worry and emotions that whirled around in his mind, Levi managed to keep a apathetic look upon his face. Identical to the one he wore every other day of his life.


These pieces of crap must be insane to follow his commands. He mentally stated, failing to acknowledge the fact that Jack was currently standing directly to the right of his "cell". A ring that bore several keys had been hooked onto his index finger, which the blonde was gently swirling around, for the time being.


The shouting of his name by a familiar voice managed to tear his gaze away from the man, and onto the brunet. He could barely see the other's figure, only managing to spot the lower halves of the soldiers that crowded around him, and what he thinks is Eren's legs. Levi jerked forward in the mini cell, putting his legs in a seriously uncomfortable position, but allowed him to see the rest of his subordinate's body, up to his forehead at least.


Hearing the male's pleads, a bitter sinking-sensation fell upon his heart. Without his mind's consent, his eyes swiftly widened with horrible realisation that this would be last time he would ever see Eren. The grim reality had hit his seemingly impassive composure with full force, destroying the fake sense of security he had built up temporarily.


Levi continued to stare at the spot where the male had been standing a couple moments before, even after he was dragged away by the soldiers. His mind blanked out the words Tegan was currently saying, as it was too busy attempting to rebuild the stoic barrier before his true feelings would manage to leak through.


Why did it always have to happen to him? What did he ever do to deserve it all? Why couldn't he, Levi, be allowed the gift of pure happiness for once in his life?


Every time he managed to grow close to someone, they would be abruptly torn from his life. Every. Damn. Time.


Everyone who had been ripped from him, never even bid him a goodbye or anything similar. They all just left.


He figured these experiences were the sole reason of his constant emotionless façade. His mind had managed to create a shield for him to remain behind, refusing to allow himself to grow attached to anyone. Though, on a few occasions, someone would be able to break through the said barrier. And Eren Yeager was one of those cases. At first, he thought of the boy as nothing but a mere recruit, a brat. Though over time, the shield he possessed seemed to whittle down when he was in the presence of the said male. No matter how much he fought it, the strange feeling would not go away. He had even gone as far as doing some research for the phenomenons he was experiencing. In the end, he had, to his horror at the time, declared he was actually in love.


Levi always thought he was destined to be alone. If not, why did fate have to destroy his life whenever it began to lighten up?


But when he was with Eren, it felt like he had finally found someone who would stay with him. Not only was he Humanity's Hope, he was also Levi's.


"I don't know how long I'm going to live."


"All I know is I want to spend the rest of that time with you..."

​



"Eren..." The breathy whisper of the man's name managed to escape his loosely parted lips, parts of his hair falling over his dull eyes. His posture slacked, upper half almost curling around his knees. It would seem his entire headset had crumbled in the last couple of moments, his heart finally cracking due to amount of intense emotions he's endured throughout the years.


In the distance, he could hear the cackling of a group. Not that the sound annoyed him, it seemed to give off an almost malicious feeling. One that caused his stomach to sink with distress.


A hand reached out to the bars in-front of him, blocking his line of sight. Levi didn't bother to raise his head to glance at the owner of the limb, as another hand moved to grasp onto the lock that bound him inside. A rusted, copper key could be seen entering the keyhole, being turned before the shackle twisted. The petty excuse for a door swung upon immediately after, a pair of hands reaching in and grasping onto his ankles. The large fingers almost overlapped as they secured themselves around the smaller male's joints. Without a warning, the soldier roughly dragged Levi's body out of the box-like structure. At the sudden movement, a low grunt could be heard from his pale lips. His head lay upon the ground, eyes staring up at the four soldiers. The one who stood closest to his head seemed to turn around for a moment, using his large hand to push away a certain blonde man.


The men that towered over his smaller frame all seemed to have a glint in their eyes, giving the raven a disturbing sensation in his stomach. "He's so small isn't he? Almost like a doll." One of the men spoke up, his a small smirk upon his chiselled features, grey locks framing his smug face. "Not so Humanity's Strongest any-more, eh?" Another commented, a thick accent coating every word he uttered. "Just get on with your f****** job and cease your disgusting fantasies." Levi's dark voice snapped, causing a series of chuckles to emit from the men's mouth. "Oh, look at that, guys. He thinks he can order us around. Isn't that cute?" The tallest man in the circle stated in-between his laughter, only to result in another round of chuckles from the three others.


Poison lurked within silver hues, as they glared up at the four soldiers who were currently laughing their asses off. His thumbs curled in, all four of his fingers overlapping it as his hands shifted into fists. The humiliation ignited a flaring rage within him, the area of where his eyes were suited, began to grow dark as his hair fell over them.


Once the fits of laughter had finally stopped, a pair of hands reached down, grasping securely onto the man's shoulders. He hoisted his form up and off the floor, only for the rest to lay their filthy hands upon him. Two of the men grabbed his arms, immobilizing them even further. The one who has yet to reveal his voice, gripped onto Levi's shoulders, shoving him forward to follow the tallest of them all, who had began to walk off.


His legs warily strode forward, head hanging low as they travelled down a scarcely lit corridor. The idle chatter of the four soldiers proved only to be a constant noise in the background, as a variety of thoughts travelled through Levi's mind.


A particularly strong shove was all it took to bring the dark haired man back to the present. His feet struggled to catch their footing as he stumbled backwards into a room. A wall would come in contact with his back before gravity had the chance to pull Levi's figure down to the ground. Shadows cast over his form once again, the sound of a door closing in the background causing his head to raise. The men stood in a semi-circle around the elite, blocking off any chance of escape. Levi could see the pale tiling of the floor, which indicated it was probably a bathroom.


A hand shot out from the tallest soldier of them all, palm pressing against the spot above the jet black haired man's head.


"Let's have some fun, shall we?"

Hours had passed, and the cadets had begun to stir quietly. The sun had rose well beyond the horizon, seeping rays of gold in through the damaged ceiling above them. Two of the soldiers, the blond woman and the man with black hair, were sitting across from each other their legs outstretched. The red-headed woman, however was crouched just a few inches away from an ever unmoving Eren. "Is he still alive?" She asked, glancing back at the bearded man known as Gregory. His grey eyes wandered along the Titan-shifter's still form, seeming to rack his brain.


"I have no idea. Poke 'im." He grunted, and went back to doing nothing, his shoulders resting against the second pole, right to the left of Yeager.


Hannah, the woman with fiery hair and steelie eyes glared at the grizzly man, her breath falling through her nose in a puff. "You poke him." She piped up, before anyone else could chime in. The smallest boy of the group almost growled under his breath, walking up to the blond and shoving her to the side. "Are you really afraid of him?" he scoffed, jerking his head and swiping snowy locks away from his pale eyes. He dipped down, his face inches from Eren's. The marrow-churning grin still plastered on his pale face.


Kill





The small man kept his face so close, he could smell the bile and blood that stained the soldier's clothing. It made his eyes water, the stink causing his own stomach to weaken. He lifted a hand, his other resting gently on the handle of his blades, just in case. He inched one finger closer. The room held its breath, the sun's dust even seizing to falter.


Kill


An ear-splitting scream echoed off the stone walls, shaking dust from the ceiling. A flock of birds that had settled on the skeletal foundation had scattered, leaving a trail of feather's floating gently to the stone floor. The cadets had all sprang to their feet, panic rising in the air. A pale face was staring down at the knuckle of his hand, a digit missing. Each beat of his heart caused a surge of blood to spurt from the fresh wound, making the blond woman heave and wretch. Fear was plastered onto the small man's face, terror shaking his body as scarlet splashed and pooled around Eren. The human in shackles stared up at them, the freshly severed finger held between his teeth. His smile had stayed, drooping dull eyes indicating his mind was elsewhere. His jaws clamped shut, making a distinguished sound as bones crushed between his teeth. This sudden act made the last three soldiers back away from the bleeding man, their eyes pinned on Yeager. However, the young hazel-haired man nonchalantly shifted his head down, as if looking at his knees was a better form of entertainment then the panicking cadet. That's what you get for being weak. The Titan't grip on the young-man's mind had tightened, sifting its voice into his ears. Eren had watched it all from the back of his mind, his stomach lurching with every chew of the human flesh. He could feel the mush of skin and bone crawl down his own neck, his control being taken from him. He screamed behind his eyelids, the sound never breaching the surface. The clutter of voices that settled around him barely sunk into his ears, their muffled cries nothing to him. He felt the rush of bodies pass by his side, two of the cadets running to their subordinate's aid. As soon as the flesh hit his stomach, sickness welled under his tongue. His vision cleared, and without warning he heaved. A rush of warm leaped from his mouth, red coating his tan trousers. He paused, glancing down at the small bits of meat that stained his legs. If he hadn't seen the finger nail of the cadet floating in a pool of bile he probably would have been okay. Alas, his eyesight was far too unforgiving to allow the realization to pass. Another heave, sickness coming up and shaking his bones as they went. The emptiness of his stomach had proven useful, allowing him to wretch dry as the man was taken away.


"You deserve worse then death." The man known as Gregory growled. He sucked in from his nostrils, the sound making everyone cringe. Then he projected the spittle into Eren's face, leaving him alone with the carrot head, and the slime-ball.

~~~

​



Noon was drawing near, and there had been no sign of the Corporal since that morning. Golden eyes searched the perimeter of the court-house, coming up empty handed. A one-armed officer glided along the corridor he'd sent the towering cadets, the musky smell wafting into his nostrils. He passed a few gaping doors, their contents empty, and came to a long staircase that lead down. The air that flung itself up the stone steps made a chill roll down his spine, but he held his composition. Gliding farther below the ground, he began to hear a jumble of voices echoing through the halls. The source coming from a bathroom, used only by the lowest-ranking cadets, most of which were fairly new to the Military Police Brigade. He nudged the door with his boot, causing the wood to creak and squeal, making his presence known.


He stared at the four burly men, their bodies all hovering above a pale figure, a clutter of clothing strewn about the floor. The grunts and pants that were flowing from the room caused a surge of disgust to rise in his chest. All four men had stopped in their tracks, staring wide-eyed at their corporal ,bracing themselves for impact. He opened his mouth, goldenrod gaze meeting Heichou's normally grey stare. He walked forward a few steps, unblinkingly, watching the face of the corporal as bitter words laced his tongue.


"Clean him up once you're finished." he murmured, and backed out of the room, the creaking door slowly shutting on a disturbing event.

It'd all happened in a blur. He couldn't quite recall the moments following the deviant soldier's words, however, his evident attempt to escape and vivid curses were clear in his mind. Levi remembered that he had flailed wildly, attacking the four others with rage-infused kicks. He had head-butted one of the men when they drew closer, bit through the tongue of one when they forced the vile appendage into his mouth, punted one's groin, Yet, his lack of any strength and the numbers against him proved to overpower his struggles. Levi wasn't sure how long this had been happening for, and frankly, he couldn't tell if he would ever recover from something as traumatic as the events he had to suffer through. Bites and marks littered throughout his body, pain seeping from many different areas. Trails of dried tears defaced his pale features, eyes glazed over with a sense of lifeless emotion. The words the soldiers would occasionally spurt out failed to register in his mind, only to be heard as meaningless noises.


Once another presence had suddenly entered the room, the ache in his neck prompted him to remain facing the floor. Despite his limited reaction, he managed to process the other's words and pinpoint the owner of the voice.


Everyone in this building will die by my hands.


Eventually, the men ceased their activities and began to clear up the evidence of their actions. During this period of time, one of them decided that it would be a good idea to drop Levi into the bathtub, which he later filled with water. He had been expecting the petite male to do something, anything, but his assumptions were far from the truth, as the raven simply fell against the wall, hues unmoving as they stared into space. The soldier had merely dismissed this with a mocking laugh and carried on with the cleaning.


Getting the man dressed with was not much of a challenge for his captors, since once again, his body acted as a rag-doll. His entire body had to hauled out of the bathtub and hastily dried with a cotton towel. Once this step had been completed, Levi was dressed upon the ground before one man jerked him up to his unsteady feet. They had made several remarks about the former corporal to one and other, most of them consisting of inquires on the other's mental state. The soldiers roughly escorted their prisoner out from the bathroom and towards the place they had originally be heading towards to before they got sidetracked.


For the entirety of the walk, the shorter soldier had yet to utter anything, not even an insult or warning. It wasn't like the others cared about Levi's well-being, though they did find the lack of anything from the stoic man, odd. None of them showed any signs of concern, as they all continued with idle chatter, as nothing wrong had ever happened. The blonde, who was considered as the head of the mini group, turned to face the silent male for a couple of seconds, before pressing his broad palms against the large doors to reveal a vast room. His gaze fell upon the crouched figure and the fellow cadets surrounding it. Without hesitation, he sauntered into the courtroom, the three men following close behind, one of them bringing along the former corporal.


As the five of them strolled up onto the elevated platform, the blonde spared a glance at Eren, a sneer framing his features at the sight. "Monster..." He muttered under his breathe, stepping aside to allow the three men to preform the actions required. The one with grey locks carelessly pushed the steel eyed man onto his knees, another male fastening Levi's cuffs to the metal pole that was recently embedded into the ground. The most muscular soldier in the group pressed the soldier's form against the cold beam, causing the dark haired man's head to angle up briefly. The look he managed to catch in Levi's dull eyes made his blood run cold, the feeling lingering within him even after the other's head had turned back down. He turned away from the one in-front of him, even taking the precaution of stepping back. He knew that Levi would not be able to harm him at this moment, yet a side of him argued against this logic.


The look in Levi's eyes was identical to a murderer's, and before the blonde knew it, fear rose up in his heart.
 
Two cadets remained, their shaking bodies fair indicators that fear was heavy in their hearts. These were mere children, staring into the face of their worst fears: A Titan that could walk among their own kind. In their minds, no one was to be trusted. They stared at Eren, his eyes gazing at nothing and everything at once. They'd just witnessed the worst kind of treason any humans had ever faced.


The sound of two oaken doors crashing into the marble walls brought everyone back to. Their heads whipping to the south. The two cadets saluted their commanding officer, balling up their right hands, smashing against their heart, and slamming their left fists at a right angle against their spines. Tegan walked forward slowly, each step of his black booted feet echoing in the three lower-ranks' ears. The cadets held their upright pose. Eren glanced up at the man, a small burning coal of hate in his pupils. "Where's Levi!" he growled, his eyebrows curled down as he stared.


"Tch." The redhead scoffed, unsheathing his blade and letting the tip lie gently along the titan-shifter's chin. He took a few steps forward, almost dancing around the corpse-to-be. "What will the Titan think when his lovely Corporal is damaged goods." he spoke these last words with a harsh whisper, his blade quickly slicing to the side, leaving a deep knick in the male's soft skin. A yelp fell from Eren's teeth, steam rising from the wound as it quickly sealed, blood boiling away.


"I asked you a fucking question!" He screamed, refusing to believe the man's poisonous words. There was no possible way they could have damaged a solider like that. No way in hell. Not while I'm alive. Eren lunged forward, the sound of his shackles scraping against the metal keeping him in place making the two cadets jump. They stared wide eyed at the pair, their ears seizing to hear the conversation. The corruption of the Military was becoming too much, panic surfacing as notable sweats and shivering.


The sound of footfalls approaching ripped Erin's attention away from the searing man, his eyes burning holes into the side of his skull. Everything in the room slowed, his vision pinning on the our soldiers that accompanied Heichou to the court, a stream of people following close behind. Sights settled on the stoic stare that vibrated the room, dark bruises littering his damp body, showing vividly on pale skin. The Air about the men carrying him, gave of a smug and incriminating sense of power. Eren's eyes widened, the coal taking flame and burning with such rage, the metal that withheld his movement groaned. "Levi?" He whispered lip quivering as the men slid his cuffs into place. "What the fuck did you do to him!?" His voice produced such a high volume and potency I even stopped the Judge in his tracks.


Eren had completely ignored the brief insult that had been whispered harshly under one of the men's breath, focusing only on his light, on his whole world. The sight of him made the younger male's chest tighten, making the explosion of rage all the more unpleasant. "I'll fucking kill you! I'll fucking kill all of you!!" His voice had deepened, two slippery tones echoing in his throat at once. The words that had slipped from his tongue caused everyone in the room to stiffen, their focus pinned to the brooding monster in the middle of the room.


"Oh god. Levi what did they do?" he whimpered, making another snort of disgust escape Tegan's throat.


"He's still alive, isn't he?" he spat, blade flashing again. He nodded his head towards the cadets, all six producing their blades and pointing them in a straight row in front of the two prisoners.


Bang Bang Bang!


"Court is in sessions!"


"Your Honor!" Tegan started barely giving the pompous old man enough time to take his seat, sliding his blade from side to side along the Titan's neck as he paced. "As a firsthand witness I can tell you these men are the epitome of blasphemy. They're traitors. Monsters. And filth." He paused on this word, staring directly at the Corporal, who was slumped against his chains, raven hair shining. "I was left for dead when the Female Titan broke free--"


A chorus of gasps and cries of fear waved over the crowded audience causing the officer to stop, basking in the reaction he deserved. "Brought on by Mikasa Ackerman. The Titan's adopted sister." The volume in the room picked up, causing the judge to slam down his mallet. "Order! Order!"


"I was almost eaten on two hideous occasions, one of which I barely made it out of." He stopped, letting the room soak in the fact that he had no right arm, and a thick bandage along his forehead.


"Bullshit!" Eren screamed, his teeth gritting together, making a audible crushing noise.


"Shut up Monster!" He cried, spittle flying from his lips, slapping the human-titan in the face. "How could anyone believe you! You just let your disgusting insides known! Did you not threaten everyone in the room with death??" At that moment, the boy realized there was no possible way of persuading cattle. The room spun, a clatter of voices drowning out the Judge's cry to seize the chatter. Woman and children huddled together the district's men shoving them out of the courtroom, fear drenching their souls. Two heartbeats went by, and Eren opened his mouth to speak...


Crack!


BOOM!!


A rush of hot air whipped around the room, steam billowing from the boy who sat in front of them. His jaw had snapped shut, his severed tongue rolling to the floor in front of the Red haired soldier. A set of looming green eyes glowed violently as a 15 meter vessel of flesh crouched, his head crammed against the ceiling. With the back of his neck preserved, Eren stared down at the small figures his only objective, to keep Levi safe. Frozen in Fear, the new recruits stared up at the muscular beast, unmoving as he swooped his hand down, crushing two of the men guarding his Corporal. He lifted them into his mouth, bodies exploding as he crushed them between his teeth. And he didn't stop there. He lifted the rod of steel keeping his high-ranking officer in place, his other hand grasping hold of Tegan and stuffing him between his molars. His exposed maw dripped and littered bits of flesh, the Titan now taking hold of the young man, engulfing him in an unsatisfied hunger.

Head hanging low, the damaged man showed little to no signs of anger nor fear. Complicated thoughts travelled throughout his mind, the inner complexes of the Corporal's brain hidden from public view. However, inside Levi, a dangerous bomb continued to tick, it's presence waiting to be revealed to everyone in the room. Hours of pain, humiliation, disgust had all bundled into a tight ball, raw emotions powering the invisible mine within his mind. His fingers twitched at the sound of a strikingly familiar voice, eyelids sliding over his hues in order to maintain his composure and avoid setting off the intense emotions. Forearms tensing as Eren's voice reached uncharacteristic octaves, Levi's breathing pattern picked up in speed and audio. Within a minute, the soldier's mouth had parted to pant for air, much to his captors' confusion.


Once the judge had finally decided to speak, Levi's mind had clouded over, his ears rejecting and blurring any words spoken by the men. All he could hear was the sound of his heavy breathing, accompanied by the rapid thumping of his heart. Odd voices spoke within his head, all urging him preform a specific action. He clenched his aching hands into steel fists, his entire form beginning to tremble with vehemence. Scenes of his violent life before joining the Survey Corps flashed before his eyes, the memories that had once been buried away, never to be remembered again. The distant thoughts that Levi witnessed caused another upsurge of emotions to rise, only to be further fuelled as the faint feeling of hands wandering on his body sent a shiver up his spine.


A sudden feeling of anticipation snapped his attention back onto the present, the tension in the air hinting that an event was about to take place. Levi had just enough time to reveal his silvery hues before a ear-splitting loud explosion sounded in the building.


Eren.


Heat swirled around his being, the warmth immediately drying off the exposed parts of his flesh. Coughs racked through his body, throat burning with every exhale of the scorching air. Levi didn't bother to waste any strength on tilting his head up to gaze at the titan that inevitably crouched by his side. He could now hear the sound of panic as it dawned on the people in the room that they were in the same area as a massive "monster", with the capability to kill. The screams of the two men who treated him as a doll, a mere play-thing, satisfied a burning hatred within. "Eren..." The raven whispered, swollen lips curving into a barely noticeable smirk as the beam binding him down was removed.


In one swift action, Levi elegantly rose to his feet, a new source of energy rushing through his body. All the rage, shame, malice that had been bottled up inside, all poured out simultaneously. With a sense of strength that had been suspected to have been loss, the man dashed forward, preforming a running roundhouse kick to the recruits that had been standing close by. His leather boot came into contact with a few different faces, causing several soldiers to stumble back in pain. He spun around moments after, slamming the chains that bound his hands together against the shoulder blade of a nearby recruit. The man screeched with agony as the bone fractured under the amount of strength that had crashed into it, however this allowed Levi to break apart the metal that once restricted the movement of his hands. His arms stretched out, hands coming together to crack his knuckles.


Some of the soldiers had snapped out of their daze, and shakily rushed towards Levi, in hope of apprehending him once again. Although, with the Corporal's arms now free, this proved to be much more difficult than they first thought. His body moved with a deadly grace, as is engaging the soldiers in a dance of death. Sheer emotions providing the power for his fighting spree, his kicks and punches increased in ferocity as he battled with one of the men that had forced himself onto the ebony haired male. Levi's hands latched onto the other's left arm, twisting it mercilessly until the sound of the limb popping out of it's socket rung out. The man attempted to fight back, only to discover that the noticeably smaller male was much stronger than himself. As he fell to the hard ground, Levi reached down briefly and picked up the discarded blade. The moment his fingers curled around the handle of the weapon, the remaining soldiers in the room noticeably flinched with fright, but continued with their attempts to bring the man down.


Chest heaving with loud gasps for air, Levi stood his ground as one of the Military Police recruits drew a pistol. Crimson fluid dripped from his finger tips, warm blood having splashed onto him when the steel had pierced others' bodies. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, exhaustion taking it's toll on his throbbing state. He leapt out of the way as a female rushed towards him, effectively causing the man to accidentally send a bullet through his fellow soldier's chest. While the male had been distracted with the horror of his actions, Levi took aim and threw his sword at the other, lodging it into the other's stomach with a sickening squelch. The dark haired man sprinted towards the injured human, looting him of his artillery and ammunition.


"Eren!" A hoarse voice exclaimed, it's fatigued owner dashed over to the enormous creature. His stained hands lightly brushed over a small section of the titan's flesh, the blood on his hands evaporating due to the intensity of the heat radiating from the oversized figure. His gaze travelled up to the emerald hues that he adored so much, an unfamiliar feeling settling in his heart at the sight of titan. "Let's get out of here, Eren." Levi stated with the tiniest trace of a smile, before effortlessly aiming his gun back and ending a soldier that had begun to make their way towards the two.
 
The human tucked tightly against the vertebrae of the unique Deviant had a sickening grin plastered on his face. Eyes were stuck open, red sinews attaching his face to the inner workings of the nightmarish beast. The titan had been waiting for this moment, its fingers grasping onto the boy's ribs, squeezing so tight he threatened to break him. Inside his mind, Eren was barely registering his actions, tucking away in a small corner of his brain and allowing the hunger to wash over him. Consume him.


Glowing eyes fell along the thick judge, his belly swollen with wine, head swimming with fear. He'd stopped in his tracks, a look of terror plastered to his bearded face. Screams of agony, mercy, and pleas were cast aside. The Titan gripped the bastard's arms with both hands, ripping him in two. A clutter of organs splashed against the marble floor, painting it red. The Titan dropped the judge's body, scooping up the string of insides in his palm and crushing them between his teeth. The sight of their own kind placing humans in his maw caused a ripple of fear to freeze most of the soldiers in their tracks, allowing the large hands to grabs fist-fulls of limp flesh. The feeling of their warm meat sliding down his throat arose a new-found pleasure in the Titan, one Eren had no control over. Most of the men who were now being crushed by his thick molars hadn't deserved death, but the soft lull that washed over him sent him into another world.


Blankets hugged his body, holding him fast. The warmth making his eyes droop as sleep threatened to take him under. He was in the middle of a large dimly-lit room, a piano in the left corner ringing softly. He stared into gentle grey eyes, a hand held lightly against his knee. Levi stared at him with a look of admiration, their gazes locking for some time. The silence was comforting, but the sound of their soft breathing running in sync made the air even more-so. The soldier parted his lips to speak, his sweet breath falling over the shifter's face. "Eren..." The sound of his name being called by his subordinate made another rush of warmth course through him. The Corporal's hand cupped his cheek, his skin cold against his face. Eren leaned into the touch, feeling calm, feeling safe. "Let's get out of here, Eren."


Eren was happy to leave, he'd follow the man to the ends of the earth if he had to.





Gasping for air, a pure white surface stared the Titan-shifter in the face, hot steam causing sweat to bleed into his forcefully opened lids. His vision blurred, images of the courthouse fading in and out behind his eyes. The sound of Levi's voice still rang in his head, making him focus hard. He strained every muscle in his body, quickly forming the bond with the Titan once again. Suddenly his belly felt full, like he'd just eaten a whole meal. But that had to have been impossible, the tyrant had kept him form eating. He glanced down at his surroundings, bodies littering the floor. Blood splashed upon the ceiling, dripping down onto his face and sizzling out of existence in seconds. A metallic taste coated the inside of his mouth, but the feeling of his Corporal's hand along his skin made him shake himself from the strange state. He lightly grasped Levi in his fist, allowing enough space for the man to wriggle free if need be, but tight enough to be able to run. He quickly used his other hand to cup over the soldier's upper body, holding him firmly against his abdomen. The titan stood, his head crumbling the ceiling as he shook himself free from the marble cage. Like a house of cards, the foundation fell around them. He'd barely given himself enough time to recall what had happened leading up to this time, his legs working hard. The sound of his rumbling foot-steps made an uproar settle through the wall, Military Police flinging themselves this way and that, trying to anchor themselves to the beast's flesh. This was all done in vein, the sun beating down on the remaining members of the Survey Corps. Eren raced towards the wall, flinging himself onto it using only one hand. He scaled the stone surface, using all the energy left in his body to carry Heichou to safety. Dropping onto the other side, he continued on, muscles burning.


He ran until the sun had begun to hide behind the horizon, a faint sunset beginning just as he fell to his knees. He let Levi go, gently placing him along the grass before the towering monster fell to the ground. Its body steaming, teeth scattered from the impact with the ground.


Eren ripped his face away from the creature's spine, the feeling of the thick muscle tearing from his skin made his insides churn. Steam rushed in, boiling his skin as he frantically tried to rip himself free . He used his teeth to tear at the sinews from his flesh, the bitter taste making him scrunch up his nose. He punched out of the nape, his lungs expanding too fast as he gulped in fresh air. A fit of coughs engulfed his chest. "Levi." He whispered, throat raw from the unpleasant event. He crawled over to the bruised male, splashes of scarlet crusted on his cheeks. He grabbed him and held him close to his body, the feeling of his warmth bringing his mind back to the world he'd entered inside the Titan. The faint dream. "What did they do to you?" He whispered, his body shaking as the burning hot rage filled his veins. The poison rushed through his arms, infecting his heart. He couldn't recall what had happened between the trial, and running from the court. "Oh god." He whispered, grasping the man's face gently between his palms and staring at the multiple black and blue marks that littered his pale skin.

Watching the events that were currently playing out before them, the former audience of the case all huddled into one large group, attempting to simply fade into the surroundings and hopefully avoid the titan's wrath. Many of their jaws dropped, as they observed the limited communication between Levi and Eren. Several had been expecting the massive hunk of flesh to crush the raven in his fist, and were bewildered when the hand carried the human with a sense of care. The surprise for the men and women, was that the so-called monster seemed to securely pressed the petite man close his flesh, as if carrying a precise belonging. They didn't have much time to wonder about the two's relationship, as the building they were standing in, collapsed inwards.


Reaching forward, he pressed his palms against the a flat section of the giant's skin. The warmth that radiated from the other was oddly comforting, as it managed to calm the heavy thumping of his heart. The blood upon his hands had already crusted over, providing an unpleasant feeling on his bruised skin. Though, Levi made no attempt to remove the dried layer of fluid, his attention purely focused on the fact that he was back in Eren's hands.


Outside of his makeshift cavern that Eren had created, he could faintly pick up on the commotion happening. Civilians panicking, soldiers trying and failing to bring down the Rogue Titan, the foundation of buildings collapsing. Yet, suddenly all the noise died down, the altitude in the air changing rapidly. Levi couldn't help but be impressed with the other's ability to climb at such a speed with only a single hand. He braced himself for the jump as the titan stopped for a moment, fingers loosely gripping onto the colossal digits that held him. His heart leapt as the other successfully escaped the wall, eyes shutting for a short rest once Eren hit the ground.


The loss of warmth spurred Levi awake, his body suddenly resting against fresh grass instead of flesh. Just as he shifted his dominant hand up to rub the sleep from his eyes, the sound of the other's humongous form hitting the ground woke the dark haired man fully. Pressing both hands against the dirt, the soldier took a moment to gather enough strength for the following tasks. Levi grunted as he pushed himself to his feet, struggling to catch his footing for a second or so. He silently cursed his overly weakened state, grumbling to himself as he slowly made his way over to the one he adored. Every step he took provoked a stab of pain within his lower half, a bitter reminder of what had happened earlier. In the end, the distance between him and Eren proved to be too great for his aching physique. Levi's knees buckled and his entire body fell back to the floor, arms coming forward to prevent himself from slamming into the earth face-first.


At the sound of his name being uttered, the man raised his head steadily, only to be tightly embraced by the brunette. He tensed initially at the close contact, though relaxed moments later at the reminder than it was Eren. Not any of the filthy pigs that had laid their grubby hands on him before. Levi's arms hooked around the other's waist, lightly pulling himself closer to the taller male. He nestled his head in the crook of the younger soldier's neck, taking in the boy's signature scent with large inhales. A grimace settled upon his features, the mere mention of the four men managing to lower his mood instantly. The gentleness of the other's actions soothed his internal wounds, however Levi still felt a sense of uneasiness as Eren examined his tainted skin.


Staring into the male's gorgeous jade shaded hues, the raven leaned forward slowly and pressed his forehead against Eren's. "They...raped me, Eren." Levi whispered, voice cracking in the middle of his sentence.
 
The rage that had built up inside his chest released at once, his hands shaking as he pulled the other across his lap, cradling his face gently as their foreheads met. He felt a rush of sadness wash over him, his attempts to bite back this sudden wave proven to be impossible. Short shaky breaths rippled through his lungs, his rips whimpering as the ache form the strenuous use of his body laid heavy along his muscles. "Oh Levi." He breathed taking the other's hand and kissing his fingers as salted water splashed along his form, dropping onto the grass at quick rates. "I'm so sorry." He clenched his teeth, trying to calm the unstable vibration of his limbs. He gazed at the bruises that had formed along his significant other's chest, his button-down shirt slightly askew from the acts earlier that day. Eren gripped the sides of the man's collar, pain in his deep green eyes as the marks came into view. At that moment Eren felt powerless, his ability to keep the Corporal safe had faltered, crumbled under his own feet. The foundation he'd been fighting to keep in the air crashing to earth, cracking his heart as it went. "I should have done something..." He whispered, his voice failing him, the waver drenching his words. "I could have gotten us out of there sooner!" His voice raised, anger towards himself rising to the surface again. He pressed his lips to a bruise along the other's neck, kissing it softly. He then placed his hand along his cheek, staring deep into their eyes. "I will never let that happen to you again. Anyone who tries to put a finger on you..." He paused trying hard to keep the lump in his throat down. "It's all my fault." He lifted clammy fingers, brushing hair away from his commanding-officer's face.
 
Sliding his eyes closed to remain in his semi composed state, his arms tightened gingerly around the boy's abdomen. Every tremble that jolted the brunette's body, every quivering breathe he took. Levi felt it all. Even without laying his gaze upon the other, he could already tell his ire was cascading into sorrow. The way the raven's name rolled off Eren's tongue, proved that the younger was clearly distressed by the information he had just processed. At the feeling of lips brushing delicately over his pale digits, his body jostled out of instinct and momentarily attempted to wriggle out of the embrace. However, Levi stabled himself after fluttering open his storm-like hues, limbs relaxing as he witnessed the clear drops of liquid trickling down the other's face.


Picking up on the futile apology, he gently shook his head in disagreement. "You can't apologise for what you weren't in control of." Levi stated, briskly clearing his throat with a cough moments after he spoke. Even though his face remained stoic and seemingly level-headed, within the pools of silver that were his dull eyes, grief and suffering lurked within. He averted the other's eyes, staring off at the setting sun, silently admiring the swirling colours in the sky.


"Eren." He spoke sternly, attention falling back onto the forest eyed male. "None of the events that happened to me were your fault. You wouldn't have been aware of what was occurring at the time, and thus, it would have been impossible for you act any earlier." Levi expressed, a hushed groan being reluctantly produced from his throat. He remained still as Eren gazed back at him, listening closely to his sincere promises, allowing his face to reflect his inner feelings as the brunette lovingly adjusted part of his hair. "Idiot. How many times do I have to tell you. It was not your fault." Levi repeated, a discreet tenderness replacing the malice that would have been evident in his insult. To further show his affection towards the male, he tilted himself forward, fondly pressing his plump lips against Eren's cheek. He lingered in the position for a couple of seconds, before pulling back temporarily, only to lean back in and repeat the action on the other side of the male's face.


Minutes would past and Levi continued his compassionate behaviour, aiming to kiss away the other's tears. Once the man had deemed that his acts were no longer needed, he turned his head up to the heavens to observe the sky. "...We should find shelter for the night."
