Don't speak. Don't make any noises. Don't cry. 

Those were the rules I now lived by, they were mainly enforced while Grisha was beating me. If I broke a single one, he would punish me again. I couldn't handle another one, I could barely even handle the one I was receiving now.

It was almost impossible to not cry out when the cord came down for the third time, and I couldn't help but wince violently when it came down the fourth. He called it his new toy, he had found it on the way from a bar one night and loved to use it anytime he could. Which was basically all the time.

I deserved it though. 

I didn't really remember what I did wrong this time...or really any time. Everything I did was wrong when Grisha was mad, and he was angry often. I had the scars to prove it. 

"Go to your fucking room." He growled out after he kicked me to the ground. I wasted no time in jumping up and dashing over to the stairs that lead to my "room". It was more of an oversized closet that only had a mattress for sleeping and a bag of things I stole or things that I was able to keep from my old life: an old bear my mother had given me as a child, things to clean my wounds,  a blanket that was also my mothers, a few photos of her and I, and a necklace that belonged to her. I had to hide them or Grisha would destroy them like he did to so many other things that used to belong to me or even my mother. 

I pulled the blanket out for a second and held it to my chest trying to remember happy memories I had of my mother, but they were all slowly slipping away. I sighed in defeat and gently placed the blanket back into the bag and decided to clean my wounds. There were only six lashes today and none were too deep but they still stung when I cleaned them. Laying down was probably the most painful thing ever but I managed. 

I slowly looked out the window and watched the sun slowly begin to set. Maybe one day I could get out of here. Be free. It seemed almost impossible but I wouldn't ever give up hope, it was one of the only few things I had left, and the only reason I awoke each morning.

Maybe when my wounds heal and I can move properly....

I could escape. 

But where would I even go? The streets?

Any place had to be better than this. Even if I had to live in a damn alley way I'd be grateful. 

I looked back out the window and a sense of determination filled me. I just had to get out of here. No matter what

~

The plan to escape was locked into my brain. I had it all planned out, I just had to wait for the lashes to heal so I could move quickly and then sneak out a window whenever Grisha left for a bar. I wasn't sure why I hadn't done this long before, I guess for a while I was too young and then I just became a bit numb to living like this. My life felt like a broken record and I had no idea how to turn it off. But now I do.

Days slowly passed, and I did everything in my power to not make Grisha angry enough to get a punishment, it was a lot easier said than done but I managed. My back was now mostly healed, only leaving painful scars in my collection. Now all I had to do was wait for him to go out to the bar. He'd be far enough out so I wouldn't have to worry about running into him. Whether he'd care or not was debatable but I couldn't take any chances. 

The day dragged on and my nerves spiked as each minute passed, it took everything in me not to think about this plan going to hell, and the consequences of getting caught. Grisha stayed around the house for hours and I avoided him while I cleaned praying to anyone and anything that he'd end up leaving.

He finally got a call after the sun had set and darkness slowly crept into the house. I couldn't hear the conversation but I was ecstatic when he called out that he was going to bar and I needed to do my chores by the time he got back. Now I had my chance, I dashed to my room once the door shut and waited a few moments before grabbing my bag and sneaking out a back window. 

I paused for a moment once my feet hit the earth, this was my first time outside in the past ten years. Everything was different than what I remembered, not that those memories helped, the world was always changing. I dug my toes into the grass and my breath left me for a moment at the feeling. Everything was new to me, the trees, the houses, the people, the air. Grisha's house always smelled like smoke and booze but outside it was fresh and it didn't make my nose burn.

For years I wasn't allowed outside the house, Grisha said I didn't deserve it. So I stuck with sneaking open a window here or there and watching the world from outside my window. Then it suddenly hit me, I knew nothing about the world outside Grisha's house

I cringed at the thought, living out here was going to be very hard. But I had to. I couldn't live like this anymore. I was tired of all the pain and fear that I felt day after day. I wanted my mom back. I wanted to feel loved again. To feel safe and warm once more.

~Time skip brought to you by yours truly~

I curled up in an old box I found at the end of an alleyway outside of a weird place. Colorful lights flashed everywhere from random open windows  and music blared flooding into the streets. I flinched slightly when I heard a door slam and peaked out to see a man stumbling out of a door with another, smaller, male clinging to him. Their lips were locked and the bigger male roughly slammed the other into the wall before ripping him off and carrying him to a car.

What happened in that building?

I sighed and leaned back onto the wall listening to my stomach growl. I haven't eaten in days. I frowned when I realized I should've just stolen food before I left. Too late now...

"Oi! Shitty Brat! The hell are you doing out here?" I deep voice yelled out, making me wince. How did he see me?  I slowly peeked out to see a very tall man glaring down at a woman. His hair was dark back and was oddly shorter in the back, I hadn't seen anyone with a haircut like that before. Then again I hadn't seen anyone in long while.  

The woman in front of him had long brownish hair pulled up in a messy bun and she wore glasses that hid her brown eyes when the lighting hit them just right. The oddest thing about her was her crazy smile. I don't know how anyone would be able to smile with a glaring man towering over them.

So he hadn't seen me, good. I peeked out a bit further making sure he wasn't going to start beating her. I couldn't do much, but I could hopefully throw something at him so she could escape. I could take the beating that would come my way for helping her.

"Calm down Levi." She giggled. "I only came out here looking for Mikasa and Annie, they had to have already gone home though."  The man only made a "tch" noise at her before he looked down the alley...

My alley...I quickly darted back and crawled into my box clutching onto my teddy bear and blanket. I winced when I heard their footsteps getting closer to where I was. 

"What is it Levi?" I heard the woman ask.

"I thought I saw someone.." He said. No you didn't. Go away. I curled into a tighter ball when the sounds of their footsteps stopped not too far from me. 

"Oh my god." The girl whispered, making my glance up only to cry out and try to shuffle further into my box when I saw how close they actually were. Oh god what if she's a beater and they both just jumped me! I was such an idiot for leaving.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. We're not gonna hurt you." She said softly and kneeled down in front of my box. "I'm Hanji. What's your name."

Don't speak!

Tears fell before I could stop them and I curled up even more.

Don't cry!

"Oh, hon." She cooed and sat down. "I promise I'm not gonna hurt you." I slowly peeked out from behind my hands to see her smiling kindly. For a second I only saw my mom kneeling in front of me smiling and telling me to come out. I almost crawled out of my box but then I blinked and the strange woman was in front of me again. I sniffled and curled into my blanket, sneaking a glance at the man who was also sitting on the ground. His dark grey eyes held kindness along with other emotions I couldn't recognize.

"Can you tell me your name darling?" I opened my mouth trying to respond to her but...I couldn't, it felt like my throat had closed up. I hadn't spoken in so many years that I was somehow unable to anymore. I shook my head, tears of frustration clouding my vision.

"Hey, it's okay. Could you write it down for us?" She asked. I nodded, my mother taught me how to write my first and last name when I was younger so that I would be the first kid in class who knew how to spell and write their name. "Could you come with us ? We'll get you food and some better clothes." 

Why are they being nice? I didn't really care, they had food and promised better clothes. Stranger Danger hadn't even crossed my mind as I stupidly crawled out, grabbing my things, and stood before them both.

"He's just too cute!" The woman squealed, grabbing my hand making my flinch slightly. "Come on hun i'll make you whatever you want. Well Levi will..I suck at cooking." She laughed, earning another "Tch" sound from the man.

~~

They dragged me back into the weird building they both came out of and up a flight of stairs. We stopped when we reached a door that had random letters on it. I  watched as Levi pulled out a key and opened the door waiting until after the woman "Hanji" dragged me in before he followed  and shut the door. She dragged me over to a chair and pushed me into it before she ran off leaving me alone with the man. I shyly glanced up to see him already looking at me with his head tilted to the side. He looked like a prince from a fairy tale.

Well at least from the movies I could remember. Tall, strong, and handsome.

"Got it!." She screamed running back into the room and putting a piece of paper and a pencil in front of me. I picked it up and looked at it resting in my small weak hand. it's been forever since I've written

I slowly put the tip against the paper and moved it around with a lot of effort until I successfully wrote down. Eren

I winced at my own writing, it was barley readable.

"Er...en?" Levi's deep voice rang out and I peeked up at him and nodded. "How about your last name?" I looked back down at the paper and slowly wrote down my last name...it looked worse than my first. Levi nodded and took the paper handing it to Hanji and she skipped off to another room. 

"Take off your clothes."

...What did he just say? 

"You need new clothes, Eren, the ones you're wearing now barely fit." He said, looking me up and down. Of course they didn't fit, Grisha just wanted me clothed for company not to be comfortable. I looked up at him and he just stared back waiting for me to...strip. Was he gonna watch!? The thought made me feel a bit uneasy but the promise of new clean clothes sounded amazing.

I slowly brought my hands down to the edge of my shirt, my hesitation coming back full force when I caught his fierce gaze.

"I got the clothes! He's gonna look so cute!." Hanji burst through the door squealing like an animal making me wince. She grinned at me only to frown a second later. "He's gonna need a bath before he gets new clothes."

"No shit four eyes." Levi said, rolling his eyes at her. He turned his attention to me and nodded his head waiting for me to finish what I started. I bit my lip and slowly pulled my shirt up, shivering once the cold air hit my exposed skin. Once it was off I peeked up at the two of them only to see Hanji in tears and Levi looking down at the table. They had me so distracted that I forgot about all my scars and bruises. 

I quickly covered my chest and stomach with my arms and looked down at the floor in shame, they were hideous, I knew that much. They probably wanted to get rid of me now.

"Oh hun," Hanji softly whispered, she slowly walked to me and put her arms around me making me tense up and hiss as her hands brushed against old wounds that only closed a few days ago. She pulled back and looked down at me with a weird look in her eyes. Guilt was an emotion I had never seen on anyone.

"Eren turn around." Levi ordered once Hanji backed away. The thought of not listening to him never crossed my mind, he just had this tone that made you want to follow orders. Once I turned ice cold hands found their way onto my scarred skin making me gasp and take an involuntary step away from him. 

"What the hell happened to you?" Hanji sobbed her voice laced with an unaskable horror. This was where they got rid of me huh? Grisha was right, no one would ever want me. I teared up at the thought, I really liked these people so far.

As if sensing my discomfort Levi pulled me back into his chest and kissed my forehead muttering "It's okay.". I'd be lying if I said that action didn't make my heart flutter and my stomach twist in ways that were completely foreign to me. How did he do that? He gently took my hand and dragged me down random hallways that all had various doors with some having other weird letters on them like the first door I had seen. He effortlessly found his way through the trickery of the doors and pulled me inside a random room.

"You can finish getting undressed in here, I'll get the water going for you." He muttered and twisted some knobs while I finished pulling my clothes off. I blushed when he turned around not trying to hide the fact he was staring.

"Well Ill leave you to it." He smiled softly before walking past me, but before he could make it to the door I grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "What?" I blushed yet again and pointed to the shower not meeting his gaze. I haven't showered in ten years...Grisha would either hose me down in the garage or I'd get a bucket and a sponge. 

"You don't know how?" He asked with a shocked look. I could only nod my head in shame. "Hey it's okay, I'll help you." He spoke gently and grabbed my hands leading me to the shower. I hesitantly stepped into the tub, and yelped when the warm water touched my skin making Levi laugh softly.

"It's okay Eren." He whispered, stepping into the shower, I watched the water soak through his clothes, his jeans and black shirt began to cling to his showing off just how buff he really was. I kept my gaze locked on him as he grabbed random things from the shelves. One was a blue fluffy sponge thing and the other was a bottle of what I assumed was soap since it made bubbles when he poured it onto the ball of fluff. He chuckled once again when he met my excited gaze. 

I gasped lightly when he brought the blue thing to my skin and watched in awe and he scrubbed my arm making it turn into a lighter color while the water went darker. He slowly dragged it all over my body until he pushed me under the flow of water just to repeat the process again. He did this a few more times before he grabbed another and squeezed the content into his hand before bringing it to my hair. The butterflies returned as he massaged the bubbly foam into my hair. A weird noise escaped my throat but I didn't really care. It felt amazing.

"Did you just purr?" His deep voice rang out and brought me out of the haze of bliss. I blushed brightly, I didn't mean to. Was he gonna punish me for it?

"Cute." He muttered while his lip twitched making my stomach flip and a smile snuck its way onto my face. I liked seeing him happy, and I liked being the reason he was happy for some odd reason. I shrugged it off and went back to "purring" while he finished my shower.

~

I sat curled up on Levis' couch, dressed in one of his sweaters and...a pair of panties. I blushed remembering when he dressed me in them. Yes he dressed me. 

I was seated in Levi's bed waiting for Hanji to bring in the clothes she got for me. Levi was drying out my hair with a towel humming a soft tune that almost made me fall asleep.My eyes had began to flutter shut when the door was slammed open and Hanji ran in with only two items of clothing in her hand. 

"Where the hell did you get my hoodie from!?" Levi growled out as he glared down at Hanji making me whine and shrink down, in a poor attempt to hide from his anger. He sighed and ran his hands through my hair saying "sorry" before he turned back to Hanji.

"I'm in charge of laundry so how do you think I got them?' She giggled and handed him the clothes her eyes brightened when he raises an eyebrow holding up one of the items.

"Panties?" He asked as my face heated up. I didn't know much about clothes but I knew for a fact boys didn't wear panties.

"We have no boxers his size, but he could always go commando." She cackled. What the heck is commando?

"He'll wear the panties." Levi rushed and began dressing me. I hummed and hugged myself loving the warmth his "hoodie" brought me.

I would never say it out loud but I was very comfortable sitting in these clothes. I was too busy fighting off a blush, which I seemed to be doing a lot tonight, that I didn't notice Levi coming in and sitting down beside me.

"Eren." He said softly and held out two bowls of food. I cautiously took one and set it in my lap staring down into it. "It's soup. Hanji said we should be careful with what we feed you for a while." A while? They planned on keeping me! I looked over at him smiling slightly, mouthing a "thank you." I still knew the manners my mother had taught me.

I picked up the spoon holding it awkwardly in my hand. Grisha had me eat off the floor when he fed me, which was very rare. Sure I had eaten properly with my mother, but I was young and could never figure out how to use these things. Add that to the fact it's been ten years since I ever attempted to use one and you get a teenager who doesn't know how to use a spoon.

"Don't tell me you haven't used a spoon before." I looked up at Levi with a small blush and shook my head. I could probably do it now with some practice, but before I could try, Levi set his bowl down, took mine and began to feed me. Was it wrong that a man I just met gave me butterflies and made me blush? Probably.

And I didn't care, I actually hoped he'd  keep me.

I smiled as Levi continued to feed me but I kept my gaze on the bowl, his eyes were just too intense for me.  They held a cold, blank gaze, but whenever he looked at me his features would soften. That didn't help me one bit though, as beautiful as his eyes were, they still held unmistakable authority. Something I was terrified of. A cough brought me out of my thoughts and I turned to see the Hanji back in the room. I smiled brightly when she held up my mothers blanket and my teddy bear. 

"I washed the bear but didn't know if I should wash the blanket. It looks clean and I didn't want to get rid of the scent." She explained and then laughed when I started to try and grab them. I couldn't reach since Levi had an arm wrapped around my waist holding me to his side.

"Here you go Eren." She smiled and handed them to me. I hummed and nuzzled the blanket breathing in my mothers scent before I grabbed my bear and curled up at the end of the couch letting myself relax and enjoy the peace. I tuned out their voices even though I knew they were talking about me. I was too tired and relaxed to care. 

I jumped a bit when I felt a hand on my exposed leg but relaxed when I saw it was only Levi. His thumb started to draw patterns on my skin, making things start to get foggy and my eyes feel heavy. I fought to keep them open, but slowly let myself slip away when I heard Levi softly murmur "sleep".

~

I woke up with a yawn and looked around with hazy eyes. I blinked a few times and frowned when I didn't see Levi on the couch anymore. " Where the heck did he go?" I thought as I got up and walked into one of his many other rooms. I held onto my bear tightly as I pushed open a door to a room only to be met with the hall that led back out into the weird building. 

Testing my limits I stuck one foot out into the hall and looked at the doors that led to god knows what before I put out my other foot. When no one popped out to scream at me I began my journey and followed the same path we took yesterday to get here. I stopped when I reached the door that led back out into my alley. I knew I shouldn't go back out there, I wouldn't last long back out there on my own, and I'd be an idiot if I left the comfort of this place. The comfort of Levi. But I couldn't help but feel...wrong here. I didn't belong here, anyone could see that, and I was also doing nothing to pay back these people for their kindness.I shouldn't leave...but I shouldn't stay either. 

But...I didn't have anything but my bear with me and I couldn't go without my things. I sighed, turning away from the door only to gasp and cover my ears when an awful screech shot down the hall.

"Ereeennnn!!!" Hanji, the lady from yesterday, came running down the halls with a big grin on her face. "How'd you get all the way over here hun?" She asked as she grabbed my arm and began dragging me deeper into the crowded room. Most people didn't even spare a glance in my direction while others eyed me up and down with an odd look in their eyes. But every single one of them were wearing weird clothing and most "clothes" barely covered them. 

I kept my gaze low and let Hanji lead me into another room. I cast a quick look around and knew from memory that this room would be called an office. I got sent to the one at school a lot when I was with my mom. There were many other men in the room and that made my stomach twist, the looks they gave me weren't helping calm my nerves at all. But I grinned when I saw Levi sitting at the head of the table and twisted out of Hanji's grasp to run over to him.

I heard him laugh when I jumped into his lap and nuzzled underneath his chin. I knew he'd protect me from the creepy men in the room. The caterpillar face scared me the most, I didn't like the way he looked at me like he was hungry. 

"Awe he missed you." Hanji cooed and ruffled my hair making me glare at her and try hiding further into Levi. He laughed again but it stopped when his hand met my exposed thigh. 

"You let him out without proper clothes on!?" Levi growled as he tried pulling his hoodie over my thighs making me blush when I realized what I was wearing. "Get me a damn blanket, shitty glasses." He glared at her and then the others who were still watching us, making them drop their gaze onto the table as if it was the most important thing in the world. 

I watched as Hanji dashed out of the room and looked up at Levi giving him a grin when he met my gaze. He gave me a soft smile and brushed my hair out of my eyes before looking back at the men sitting around the table. 

"This is Eren." Looks of recognition filled the room while Levi sent a glare to eye brows who just grinned in return. "Don't talk to, look at, or even think about him without my permission." He growled darkly. 

"He's so cute!" A female voice cooed gently and my eyes shot up to meet a pair of green eyes. She had bright red hair, with a smile to match and I wondered why I hadn't noticed her before.

"He is indeed." Levi laughed, catching my attention.  I huffed and sat back against him and watched as Hanji brought in a red fuzzy blanket. Levi snatched it out of her hands and wrapped it around me, trapping me in the warm cocoon. 

I wiggled around and huffed again when I was unable to get my arms free from the blanket. I looked up at Levi only to see him smirking and looking at the men (and girl) in the room ignoring my pouting gazed. I decided to zone out, letting them talk and let my gaze travel around the room. There was nothing special about it, brown walls with black furniture. I couldn't say too much since this room alone was better than Grisha's entire home. But I could ask Levi to add some color or anything else honestly, this room was really scary.

"What do we do  about Grisha's boss?" I quickly looked up at the mention of my fathers name and sent a questioning glance to Levi. Why were they talking about him? How did they even know who he was?

"Le tuer, je le veux mort." Levi replied with a dull tone, speaking in a weird way. I looked up at him in confusion but he kept his gaze forward, it was as if he was avoiding it. (Kill him, I want him dead.)

"Qu'en est-il le garçon?." A man said with a tilted head while sending a quick glance my way. Were they talking about me? (What about the boy?)

"Nous ne lui dirons pas." Levi spoke without a trace of emotion sending a few shivers of fear down my spine. (We won't tell him. French) They all nodded their heads and grabbed what was on the table before leaving. I poked Levi softly and gave him a soft smile, he didn't look too happy and I hated seeing him upset.

"Vous savez qu'il aura le Coeur brise quant il apre'dra ce que vous aves fait!?." Hanji said. Why couldn't I understand what they were saying?(You know he'll be heartbroken when he learns about what you've done.)

"Il ne le saura pas." He said dryly before giving me a soft smile. "Want to go eat?" He asked and I nodded happily that I could understand him again. (He wont find out- French) Levi picked me up making sure to keep the blanket wrapped around me and walked out of the office back into the noisy room.

Levi carried me to an empty table in the corner of the room and sat with me in his lap. I peeked out from my hiding place in his neck to look around the room. It was very spacious and had many tables in groups or far off into corners, there was also a stage where two men were talking and setting up random things that Ive never seen before and on the other side there was a counter where a man was serving people drinks. 

There were people everywhere which made me a bit queasy but their clothing made my curiosity win. Could I even call it clothing? It barely covered those who wore them. The "shirts" were see-through and had random holes and the shorts barely covered their rear ends. I looked at Levi in question but all he did was give me a smirk and wave down a passing boy.

"Yes Master Levi?" He asked. Master? I looked at Levi again but he kept his eyes on the boy in front of us who stared down at his feet. Why was everyone here acting so weird?

"Have Petra make Eren something to eat and tell Erwin to come here before they set out." He ordered, the boy gave out a small "Yes , Sir." and ran off. I sighed softly, having so many questions but no way to ask them. Tears started filling my eyes but stopped when I spotted a blonde boy with bunny ears. He gave me a bright smile and I giggled before waving at him over the back of the couch like a chair.
 

"What are you doing Eren?" Levi asked. "Oh now you pay attention to me." I thought with a huff and decided to ignore him continuing to wave at the blonde boy. He giggled giving me a soft smile and I couldn't help but feel a little giddy inside. Maybe I would be able to make a friend here.

"Eren." Levi said with a harsh tone while pinching my side making me gasp and lean back to look up at him with wide eyes. He was now tense and that dark look in his eye was back.

"Don't ignore me." He commanded with narrowed eyes. I gave a small nod and he smiled softly, petting my hair and muttering "Good boy." in my ear before asking what I was doing again. I pointed over to the bunny boy causing Levi to look at him then back to me with a raised eyebrow. I just smiled and pointed to the boy again.
 

"That's Armin." He told me and waved the boy over. Fear crossed his eyes but he made his way over until he stood in front of us.
 

"Y-yes Master L-Levi?" He squeaked while fidgeting around. Everyone here seemed to be very afraid of Levi, except that red headed girl from the office, she seemed to be use to him being mean.

"Eren wanted you to come over here." He muttered with an eye roll while his grip on me tightened a bit.

"Oh! Well hello Eren." He waved while grinning, I just gave a goofy smile wishing I could talk to him.
 

"He doesn't talk." Levi softly said, I expected Armin to just leave but instead he gave me a soft smile.
 

"That's alright, we can find other ways to communicate." He grinned, I reached over and pulled him to the spot beside me and he let out a yelp before looking at Levi with wide eyes.
 

"It's alright, you can stay." He said while fixing the blanket so that my thighs were once again covered. I leaned back against Levi and listened while Armin introduced himself. It wasn't long before he began telling me a story about a time he and his friend Marco pulled a prank on a Dom. I wasn't sure what a Dom was, but the story was pretty funny, and even had Levi snorting a few times.

"Armin!" A voice boomed, Armin gasped and jumped to the floor landing on his knees with his chin to his chest. I looked at him for a moment before looking over at the man who barked out his name. He stood (very) tall and proud and had short dark brown hair that almost looks black with brown eyes to match. He looked nice, but his gaze was almost as scary as Levi's. I was almost worried for Armin, but when I saw the love in his eyes, I knew Armin was safe.

"Hello Master." Armin said, his never wavering like it did when he spoke to Levi.

"I thought I told you to stay by my booth." He sighed while running a hand through his dark locks. "You made me worried."

"I called him over here Bertholdt, Eren wanted to meet him." Levi spoke with his weirdly usual dull tone. I still had yet to understand how a softie like Levi sounded and looked so mean and cold. He has only spoken to once with that dark tone just moments before and I already knew I never wanted his harsh voice directed at me again. Once will forever be enough for me.

"My apologies then Armin, thank you for informing me Levi." He said with a soft smile while picking up Armin. His giant form made Armin look even smaller, but it was oddly cute. They were complete opposites, Bertholdt being tall and dark, and Armin being small and sweet. But they still looked like they had been made for each other.

"Armin and I have some things to do, but maybe he could hang out with Eren later if they both would like." He smiled kindly at me while Levi nodded. I watched them leave, a little sad that my potential friend had to leave.

A short while later, Erwin walked over to our table with Hanji right behind him.

"Oui Monsieur?" I assumed he asked a question since he tilted his head to the side while talking. I was a bit peeved that I couldn't understand a word he was saying. (Yes sir?)

"Legere modification des plan: assurez vous de prendre Mikasa et Annie avec vous. Ils peuvent faire ce qu'il veulent mais qu'il ne le tur pas. Je le ferais mou-meme." He spoke softly, yet I could hear the dull anger with each word he spoke. (Slight change of plans. Make sure you take Mikasa and Annie with you. They can do what they want but do not kill him. Ill do that myself. French, I can't do the accent that are needed when spelling certain words so I apologize)

"Compris Monsieur, rien d'autre?" Another question I'm guessing. (Understood Sir. Anything else?)

"Non, vous pouvez Y aller maintenant." Levi responded with a wave of his hand and Erwin was off. (No, you may go now)

I sighed again, starting to feel tired, but not wanting to actually sleep. Levi took notice and turned me around gently pushing my head onto his shoulder. I clung to my bear as he re-wrapped my blanket and stared at the people around us until my sight got foggy and I was out.
 

I woke up with tiny lights floating above me through a veil of white. I got up with a slight pout and a huff when I realized Levi was nowhere in sight and I had no clue where I was. It was another, smaller, bedroom with a beautiful blue bed that had lights streaking down from above it and a see-through sheet hanging from three of the sides. The walls were also blue with butterflies and paintings hanging everywhere. There were a few white dressers with things that were not mine in and on top of them. It was probably one of the most beautiful rooms I had ever seen in Levi's entire house. 

Focusing on finding a way out, I made my way to one of the white doors. I slowly pulled it open only to be met with Levi's bedroom, but he wasn't in there either. I sighed again and walked to the other door only to see an equally beautiful, and much bigger, bathroom. Deciding not to question the bathtub inside the shower I turned back around and sat back on the bed.

I looked around for any other exit shortly realizing the only way in and out of this room was through Levis' room. Was I allowed to just walk into his room without asking? Probably not. 

I huffed and looked around the room again and spotted my bag in one of the corners. I quickly grabbed it, checking through it to make sure my things were still there. Only the medical things were gone, but my mothers blanket was neatly folded and in there. My bear was on the bed I had woken up in and I sighed in relief that I had everything that mattered most to me.
 

The door suddenly slammed open and I let out a small yelp, dropping my bag."You're awake?" Hanji asked and I gave her a small nod. "Even if I wasn't that bang sure it would have woken me up." I thought.
 

"Why didn't you come out here? Levi and I have been waiting for you." She huffed, making me blush and stand up, leaving my things, to follow her out. We walked through Levi's room and down some halls before entering the living room. I ran over to Levi and jumped in his lap making him smile and kiss my forehead. I was beginning to really like it when he did that.
 

"Did you sleep well?" He asked and I nodded, tucking myself under his chin while humming. He hummed in response and held me while some other men who I didn't notice began talking to him in a stupid way that I couldn't understand.

"Il est avec Mikasa et Annie, Monsieur." The man with the big eyebrows spoke. I knew "Annie and Mikasa." were names of women and "Sir." was an obvious word. (He's with Mikasa and Annie Sir.)

"Il est droit vivant?" Levi asked with a raised brow. (He's alive right?)

".Oui Monsieur, vivant et gémissant sur la façon dont il nous vendrait un garçon pour sa liberté." Eyebrows responded while glancing at me. Levis grip on me tightened as he responded. (Yes sir, alive and whining about how he would sell us a boy for his freedom.)

"Torture que piquer jusqu'a hes mendier pour nous de le tuer. Mais ne le laissez pas mourir. Compris?" He spoke with a dark tone that sent shivers up my spine. (Torture that prick till he's begging for us to kill him. But do not let him die. Understood?)

"Oui Monsieur." The man said with a stiff nod before walking out. (Yes sir.)
 

I looked up at Levi and was about to attempt to ask him what that was about but a loud rumbling noise beat me to it. My face slowly heated up and I gave Levi a cheeky grin. What? I was hungry and my body knew Levi would give me food.
 

"Hungry?" He asked with a smirk and I gave a fast nod jumping up and running to the kitchen. He laughed as he followed me and I jumped onto the table watching him pull out random things to cook. "I'll make you some soup and noodles and then you need to take a bath and change." He spoke while he moved around the kitchen with ease.

I gave a small silent nod and watched while he cooked. My eyes stayed on the muscles that flexed at every movement he made. My stomach twisted in weird ways that I didn't understand, my heart was also beating oddly fast and it was all making me very confused. Why did I always feel weird around him? 

He was making me feel things that i've never felt before or understood. I didn't really know what to do or think about it all. I couldn't talk to him or anyone else about it and I couldn't find anything to read about it either. Instead of pouting I continued to watch Levi cook.

~~~

After Levi fed me he carried me to the bathroom and gave me a bath. I giggled and played with the bubbles as he slowly washed me with the sponge thing again. He smiled softly before rinsing my body off and washing my hair. I hummed in delight at the feeling of his fingers running through my hair making the knots disappear. When he was done he drained the tub before washing my body again and pulling me out to dry to me off.

He carried me back into his bedroom dressing me in another hoodie and a pair of bright blue underwear, it was slowly becoming my favorite color.
 

"We will go out later to get you some clothes. I have some things to take care of but you and Armin can hang out in your room until I'm done." He said and I looked at him confused. My room?

"Oh. I forgot I didn't tell you. I had that spare room decorated for you." I looked at him with wide eyes. A room just for me? I couldn't stop the wet hot tears from falling as I jumped into his arms and hugged him. I nuzzled into his neck wishing I could thank him a million times for his kindness. He laughed while hugging me back and I smiled enjoying the sound. 

I pulled back and gave a soft shy peck to his cheek making his eyes widen and his cheeks tint to a light shade of pink. A cough sounded and I peeked over his shoulder to see Armin standing in the doorway with Bertholdt standing behind him. I squealed and ran over to Armin pulling him into a hug making him giggle before hugging me back.

"So you two stay in here. We'll be back later." Levi said after clearing his throat. We both nodded before running into my room.

"Are you liking it here so far Eren?" Armin asked me as he played with the lights that hung above my bed. I gave a simple nod while moving myself up the bed, so that I sat on the pillows. His hand left the lights and he turned so he was properly facing me.

"So, how are you and Levi doing?" He cautiously asked while watching me. I smiled brightly at the mention of Levi and nodded again. Levi and I were doing very well just knowing each other for a few days. I really trusted him and he's been very kind to me, I knew I didn't have to worry about him treating me like Grisha did.

"Do you like him?" He asked and I nodded again. Of course I liked Levi! "Not like that Eren, do you like, like him?" What was the difference?  I looked at Armin in confusion and he sighed before speaking again. 

"Like do you want to be with Levi, romantically?" He sighed again at my still confused face. "Do you want to be his boyfriend?" Heat flew all the way up my neck at that question. I definitely knew what boyfriends were, my mom had one and Grisha had a few along with a few girlfriends from time to time. 

But did I want that with Levi? I liked my mom's boyfriend from what I could remember. He was very nice and always brought us gifts when he would come and visit. We would all watch movies together and go out to the park.I hadn't seen him a single time after my mom died...

"Well I'll take that as a yes." Armin squealed while jumping around my room. I giggled watching him forgetting about old memories that I seemed to care less about the longer I stayed here.  

"I'm totally gonna give you a makeover!" He grinned over at me. "But we'll need to ask Levi and my Master when they get back." He sighed and sat back on my bed. He opened his mouth to speak but Hanji ran into my room yet again slamming my door.

"Armin we need you down at the bar, we apparently have a new employee coming down and we need you to train them." She said while leaning against the wall panting. "Don't worry Bertholdt knows, you can come too Eren I'm sure Levi wouldn't mind." Armin nodded and we both followed her out and back down into the "bar".

~

A long while later Armin walked out with a short girl with bright blue eyes and beautiful silky ink black hair. She was only a bit taller than him but way shorter than everyone else.  "This is Misty." Armin said to me and the girl Petra who was sitting beside me. "She's gonna be the new server in place of Tommy." 

"Well I'm Petra and this is our friend Eren, he doesn't talk much." Petra shook her hand with a small smile. 

'Its nice to meet you two." She said with a small smile while grabbing my hand and shaking it as well.  Her eyes shone with happiness and they would shift to Hanji every so often, Petra seemed to notice it too and sent me a quick wink.

"I'm gonna go take her out there to serve for a bit but ill be later." Armin said and they walked out into the crowd carrying trays. Petra also left muttering things about needed to cook and I was left all alone. Not even a second later Hanji jumped in the seat where Petra once sat with a wild look in her eyes. 

"Was that the new employee?" She asked and I nodded. "Oh I'm totally calling dibs on that." She grinned, making me giggle. What did dibs even mean? Hanji got up running off and I stood to follow her when a hand latched onto my shoulder and yanked me back into a rock hard chest causing me to yelp. I looked up to meet Levi's glaring eyes. 

"I thought I told you to stay in the room." He said with a raised brow. My eyes widened a bit at his commanding tone and I pointed towards Hanji who was following the new server and Armin around. He rolled his eyes, a  small "tch" leaving his mouth, before dragging me over to his table. He threw his jacket over my lap and we sat in silence, him on his phone and me watching Armin while he taught the girl how to address certain people and how to properly hold the tray. They hadn't noticed Hanji yet who was still following them like a lost puppy. She was trying to say something but each time she almost did she backed out before she just sighed and walked away completely. 

I turned my attention back to Levi and looked at the screen on his phone in confusion. There were random letters dancing across his screen and I had to look away when my head started to spin. He suddenly got up taking me with him and walked towards a door. 

"We're gonna go get you some clothes and things. Bertholdt and Armin will meet us there later."

Levi suddenly picked me up and carried me out to a jet black car, pulling me into the back with him. Instead of setting me down and buckling me in, he simply pulled me onto his lap. I gave a small huff, I knew driving like this wasn't safe, my mother often times tried pulling two seatbelts over me.

Car rides with her weren't always comfortable, but I'd take all the painful neck rashes at any second, if it meant I could get one more ride with her. 

I wiggled around a bit trying to get comfortable but quickly stopped when Levi pinched my side and pulled me tighter against him. "Stop doing that." He whispered in my ear sending another confusing chill down my back. I ignored the feeling, giving him a nod and staying as still as I possibly could. I hated upsetting Levi. It wasn't like the fear I felt when thinking of making Grisha angry, it was more of a sick feeling. Like wanting to cry due to shame or lay at his feet and beg for his forgiveness. 

Maybe I'm just weird.

"I probably should have made you wear a pair of Annie's pants." Levi muttered while running a hand down my bare thigh. I also glanced down to see my pale and slightly bruised skin, most were healed but some were still an ugly greenish color. I nodded not knowing who Annie really was and glanced up at Levi smiling brightly when he looked at me. He smiled softly back before grabbing a blanket that was folded on a seat and wrapped it around me.

"That should work," He sighed and leaned back pulling me with him.

~

The car ride was boring and quiet and I was more than happy when Levi announced that we were at the store. He pulled me out of car making sure the blanket stayed around me before saying something to the driver sending him off. I was jumping in place excited to be visiting a new place. Its been years since Ive been to a store, I've honestly forgotten what they had inside. Levi shook his head while smiling and grabbed my hand leading me into the store.

It wasn't anything I would've tried imagining...

Things that I saw in Levis club were hung on walls and the ‘clothes' that the people there wore were also hung in various different places. I didn't have the knowledge or experience to describe the people who were also here. 

Levi pulled me over to where more of the "normal" clothes were. They weren't for boys I could tell that much about, but so far all the "girl" clothes I have been wearing have been very comfortable. I really liked them, and apparently so did Levi. He began grabbing tons of leggings, as he called him, and even more sweaters. I stood there wrapped in the blanket watching Levi grab more clothes when Armin and Bertholdt walked over to us.

"Eren!" Armin squealed and jumped in my arms. I giggled hugging him before he pulled away with a big grin on his face. "Master Levi, can I PLEASE get Eren some skirts!?" He asked while jumping down. Levi gave a simple nod while talking with Bertholdt and Armin squealed again before dragging me off. 

He pulled me to a section not too far away from the men and started pulling random outfits off their hooks. "You would look so cute in these!" He grinned. "Master!" He called out but Bertholdt didn't hear. "Master!" He called again but he still didn't even get a glance. 

"Daddy!" He screeched and all too quickly Bertholdt's eyes were on him. With red cheeks and a huff he called out. "We're gonna go try these on!"  Bertholdt nodded and returned to talking with Levi while Armin and I walked off.  After trying on lots of embarrassingly cute and comfortable outfits, and some humiliating photos, Armin brought me back to Levi. 

"Done?" He asked me with a raised brow. I nodded quickly grabbing his hand when he began walking off causing him to smile and pull me along. I felt bad letting Levi pay for all my clothes but what was I gonna do? Say no? I also couldn't pay for them myself so...why not.

~

After we got done shopping we went back home and Levi dressed me in one of my new outfits. A pair of simple, soft black leggings with a light brown owl sweater, I didn't know what an owl was specifically but it looked like a cute little bird. He also put me in a pair of black socks with no shoes. Not that I minded though, we were only staying in the club.

After I was dressed Levi changed into another dark outfit, black jeans and a black T-shirt. I tried my hardest not to stare at him too much but I was finding it to be very difficult. He was really pretty. 

We walked hand in hand down to the club and made our way back to Levis table. Levi sat down, with me in his lap and was quickly greeted by the new server Misty. I gave her a quick smile and wave while Levi gave our order. She giggled lightly before walking off, Hanji not too far behind her

'Stupid four eyes." Levi shook his head as he watched her follow Misty around like a lovesick fool. Misty knew it too, you could tell by the sway of her hips and the secret innocent smiles she sent Hanjis way. I watched the two for a moment before a hand slammed into the table making me yelp and lean into Levi.
 

"Really Mikasa." Levi glared while petting my hair while I looked up at the women before me. She looked alot like Levi; light skin, dark hair, a lean build,  the only difference were her eyes, they were a dark black while Levi's were a beautiful silver. Plus Levi looked older, and a bit scarier than her.

"We have a slight problem." Levi tensed in his spot his grip tightening a bit.

"What do you mean by problem?" He glared. Her gaze dropped for a moment before she took a breath and spoke.

"L'homme est dans les affaires de traffic humain Sir." She spoke the same way, I don't know what it was exactly, but it definitely wasn't English.  (The man is in the human trafficking business.)

"Qu'est-ce que ca a avoir avec moi?" He said dully with a raised brow. (What does this have to do with me? )

"Il semble qu'il a promis votre garçon à quelqu'un car il a perdu tout son argent." She spoke very quickly, casting a glance at me before locking eyes with Levi. (It seems he promised your boy to someone since he lost all his money.)

"Et ?" Levi was beginning to look annoyed so I gave  him a quick kiss on his cheek before tucking myself under his chin. (And?-French)

"Il exige que noous le lui remettions." She quietly said, making Levi snort and stand taking me with him. (He's demanding we hand him over.)  He carried me back into his office and set me on the couch before turning to Mikasa once again.
 

"Tell everyone to get in here, now." Mikasa left quickly and I couldn't blame her, he had yet again spoken in a dark and commanding tone. He turned back to me with a small smile which I awkwardly returned. How could he go from scary to sweet just by turning to me? He was confused. 

I peeked up through my eyelashes and blushed when I caught his hard gaze. He smirked at me before turning to the door as the men (and women) walked in. Most sat around the table while some had to stand against the wall. Only a few snuck glances at me but quickly looked away when Levi glared at them. Why didn't he like people looking at me?

"Je ne sais pas que Mikasa a informe vous tout de suite ce qui se passe." He spoke and everyone in the room nodded. (I'm sure Miakasa has informed you all on what is going on.)

"Je vais besoin de vous tous pour traque cet entrepot et obtenir des informations sur son patron" He continued. It was amazing how he had everyone hanging on his every last word. I didn't know if they truly cared about what he was saying or they feared punishment. I was hoping it was the first. (I'll need you all to track this warehouse and to get information about his boss- French)

He continued to talk to them all and I was a bit jealous that they could understand him and I couldn't. Why wasn't I allowed to understand what he or the others were saying? I wanted to pout but I didn't want him to look bad in front of his friends. Grisha would lock me in the pantry every time I "embarrassed" him in front of his friend. I didn't want to go back into the pantry. It was dark and it hurt to be in there. 

"Eren!" Grisha screamed as he chased me down the hall. I had accidentally dropped one of his poker chips while handing them out. One look in his eyes and I was off, they were full of rage and they were directed at me.  

I was almost to my door when his hand fisted into my hair and yanked me back. I shrieked at the sting and cried out when I was slammed forward into the wall next to my door . 

"I'm so sick of you! You always gotta do stupid shit!" He hissed in my ear before he struck me, making me fall to the floor. He began kicking me as he screamed at me for being stupid, clumsy, worthless, and a pest who always made him look bad.

I was beginning to block out the pain when he grabbed my hair once again and dragged me down the stairs. He began heading towards the kitchen and I knew exactly what for. I started squirming in his grasp begging him not to put me back in there. One of his friends walked out of his poker room and his eyes widened at the sight.

"Grisha, what are you doing to the poor boy!" He yelled but Grisha only ignored him and began forcing me into the cabinet. I kept wailing and begging him not to do it.  

"Grisha, he's only a child!" He yelled out when I was finally forced into it.  

"He needs to learn the rules." He spat out and slammed the door shut. I could hear him wrap the chains around the handles as I tried pushing it open.  

"He's eight Grisha!" The man yelled back. I kept crying the darkness and tight space scaring me even more.  

"He's not your problem so stay out of it!" The yelling continued as the pans and pots started digging into my skin while I wailed and tried kicking open the door.

"Eren stop it!" Grisha screamed banging on the door from the outside.  

"Eren!"

"Eren!" His arms tightened around me once again and I screamed trying to shove him back. No more pantry. I hate the pantry. It's dark. It hurts. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

"Eren it's okay, your okay." A voice broke through the haze as I continued to scream and fight. "Eren it's Levi." The voice whispered as arms held me to them in a warm embrace. "Shhh Eren, your okay. I promise your okay. I got you its all gonna be okay."

He kept whispering softly in my ear while kissing and stroking my hair. I slowly relaxed in his embrace and blinked up to see a worried Levi holding me close. I nuzzled into him hugging him tightly not wanting to end up back in the pantry...back in Grishas hold.

"I'll keep you safe Eren, I promise. It's all gonna be okay."

Levi had woken me up in the middle of the night saying he and his men had to leave for a few days. He promised me he would be back but that didn't stop me from sobbing and clinging to him to try to get him to stay. 

"Eren I promise i'll be back before you know it. You wont even know I'm gone." He cooed while I shook my head and wrapped myself further around his legs. He sighed softly trying to pull me off but I only held on even tighter . I didn't want him to go.

"Come on Eren, Let go." He huffed. He managed to tug me off  but when he moved to put me on the bed I wrapped my arms around his neck  making him groan. "Eren please, I promise I'll be back. But I gotta go."

It took an hour and three of Levi's men to get me off of him long enough for him to run out. Why couldn't he stay? They could've done whatever job it was without him. It wasn't fair. I huffed and hugged his pillow tighter trying to fight the tears. I looked up when there was a knock at the door and watched Hanji, Armin, and the server, Misty, walk in with a tray of food.
 

"Eren hun, you gotta eat." Hanji cooed but I just glared and nuzzled into his pillow. She gave a soft sigh and knelt on the floor in front of my face.

"Ill tell you what, if you eat a little bit of soup I'll let you have some ice cream down at the bar." She said with a grin making me perk up, Levi told me no ice cream whatsoever, it had too much sugar. He wasn't here to say no though, so I nodded grinning and sat up letting Hanji feed me whatever she had put in the bowl. It was soup obviously, but had stuff crushed in it.

"Misty could you and Armin get some clothes for Eren while I give him a bath?" She asked them while setting down the empty bowl. They smiled brightly while running off into my room where all the clothes from us shopping were hung.

~Skipping the bath because I can~

I watched as Hanji silently dressed me in the outfit that Armin and Misty had picked out for me. She pulled up a pair of black tights that stopped at my thighs then pulled up a short black skirt that matched them. Next, she put on a short black shirt that only covered part of my chest, making me a bit cold and uncomfortable. It was really easy to see my scars with this.  She gave me another motherly smile before going to my closet and pulling out a small (denim) jacket. I giggled helping her slide it on then ran over to the mirror looking at myself. After everyone agreed that I was "cute enough to eat", whatever that meant, we all walked down to the bar to get me my ice cream.

Even though I missed Levi terribly, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of being able to try ice-cream.  I sat at one of the stools  with Misty and Hanji while Armin went around the back to get us all a bowl of ice cream.
 

"Actually just get small bowls of every flavor, Armin, we can have Eren try them all." Hanji said over the counter before she turned to Misty. "Would you mind helping him?" With a light blush she shook her head and headed around the counter to help Armin make all the bowls. 

I was on my second flavor of ice-cream, mint to be exact, when I heard a small 'click' come from beside me. I looked over with the spoon still in my mouth just to be met with another click and a bright flash.  I blinked trying to clear my sight and blushed when I heard Hanji and Armins giggles.
 

"Levi's gonna love these photos!" Hanji squealed, making me blush even more. I looked at her with puppy eyes, my sight still a bit blurry. "Awee come on Eren he's gonna love them!" She laughed.
 

"He might be angry about Erens clothing." I jumped at the sound of Bertholdt's deep voice and quickly looked over to see him with Armin pulled to his chest in a tight grip. I looked at Armin and almost laughed when I saw both his legs wrapped around one of Bertholdt's.
 

"Who cares if he's mad, what's he gonna do? Call me?" Even though I had to laugh a little at that, Hanji had no fear what-so-ever when it came to Levi. She sent the photo to Levi and not even a second later her phone started to go off. Everyone around the bar turned pale and stared at Hanjis phone watching it ring.

"A-answer it." Armin whispered while we watched in horror as Hanji slowly brought it up to her ear.  "H-hello?...Ah...Levi...How are you?...Pfft...No He's in your room sleeping.....It was an old photo I swe- Y-yes Sir, Understood Sir." She stuttered while glancing at me with an off smile. She paled a bit before hanging up the phone.

'What did he say?" Bertholdt asked, briefly picking his head up from its spot in Armin's neck so he could talk. Armin was now wrapped around his waist, with his head resting on Bertholdt's shoulder.

"I won't repeat most in front of the children but basically Eren can only dress like that when he is here." She said with a still shaky voice while I blushed. Why did Levi have to be here if I dressed like this?
 

"He's such a possessive little wolf isn't he?" Petra giggled while eating some of the vanilla ice cream. Everyone nodded in agreement with goofy grins on their faces. Levi isn't little though, so what did she mean by little wolf? 

(Don't be perverted -.- )

"He really is, I've never seen Levi act like he does when it comes to Eren." Hanji laughed while getting up from her seat. "I'll go get you a blanket hun, we'll change you later." She smiled while walking off with Misty watching her go.

Armin was quick to notice that.

"So...you and Hanji?" He asked while wiggling his pierced eyebrows, he told me that he and Bertholdt both loved body piercings and that one day he'd show me his other ones.

Misty blushed madly waving her hands widely in front of her while shaking her head. "No no no no no. Nothing!!" She screeched making Armin's innocent smile turn into a dark smirk.
 

"You totally got the hots for her!" Misty was about to respond when Hanji walked back to the bar, shutting her down.
 

"Here you go hun," She smiled wrapping me in the blanket then turned to Misty. "Oh my gosh sweetheart! Are you okay? You look sick!" She gasped rushing over to her.
 

"I-I'm fine! I promise." She smiled, batting away Hanji's hands. "Nonsense! Come on, off to bed!" Hanji huffed, dragging her away. Armin and I exchanged looks before we both started giggling uncontrollably.

~

It had been days since Levi left and I missed him more than ever. Where was he!? I lied on his bed curled up in his hoodie and blankets wishing he was here to hold me. I knew something was up since I kept getting  avoided and when I saw someone I only got smiles of pity. Grisha's friend's always gave me that smile, they felt bad but didn't know what to do.
 

"Eren...hun..." Hanji slowly spoke while kneeling in front of me. I looked in her direction but I wasn't really focused on her. I missed Levi too much.  "There's something I gotta tell you hun." She sighed, making me flinch. The nurse said that the night my mum died. 

No...

Levi's not dead...

He promised...

He cant leave me...

He promised.

"Levi got hurt real bad hun..."

I walked down the dark hospital hall wrapped in my mothers blanket still dressed in only Levi’s hoodie (obviously undies too). 

Hanji slowly led me to the room that Levi was being kept in while I followed numbly. "He's been resting for a while so don't be sad if he doesn't wake up." She softly smiled, opening the door for me while I peeked in cautiously. He didn't look anything like my Levi. 

The man before me was as white as paper and looked as awful and unclean as Grisha and his friends. His hair was a mess and his eyes had dark circles all around them. I slowly walked towards the bed watching his face to make sure he was still sleeping. When I was close enough to him I studied his face to make sure he was actually my Levi. 

Unfortunately it was. 

I poked his cheek, nose, then forehead making him flinch and groan. I giggled slightly, making his eyes fly open. Definitely my Levi I grinned. 

"Eren." He whispered with a low and scratchy voice. I nodded, poking him again making him smile. He opened his arms and I quickly climbed in the bed nuzzling up to him. He kissed my head softly falling asleep again making me pout. 

"It's okay Eren, he's gonna be sleeping for a while." Hanji said. What was wrong with him? "He was hurt pretty bad while saving Mikasa. He was uh...he was shot and fell quite a ways down." She whispered sniffling a bit

I nuzzled up into Levi's neck while watching the nurses mess around with all equipment connected to him. He hasn't woken up again all day and I was starting to get upset with him. He needed to wake up and pay attention to me again. 

I huffed and started to poking his cheek but he didn't budge. I narrowed my eyes and lightly bit at his cheek. He flinched slightly but didn't wake up, making me even more upset. I leaned back an inch and bit his ear making him groan and pull me back on top of him. 

I giggled at my progress and looked for more places to bite. When his nose and chin didn't work I decided to move down to his neck. I shuffled down his body getting comfortable and pulled some of his skin between my teeth, biting down slightly. Levi groaned again and shifted around a bit, still not waking up. My patience was draining, making my bites get harder and more sloppy. 

It was very effective though....

"Eren." Levi groaned, opening his glossy eyes and looking down at me.  "Wh-what the hell are you doing?" He panted, making me giggle and hug him tight, happy he was awake. I nuzzled back into his rising and falling chest with a happy hum.
 

"Putain de merde." He whispered, petting my hair, making me giggle again. ( Holy fuck)

I crawled back up his body but paused when I felt something hard against my thigh. I looked down at the tent in his pants then up at him confused. His cheeks tinted a very light pink and he sighed laying his head back.

"Putain." (Fuck me- French...I think...from English to French it was "fuck me" but French to English it was "whore"... I mean both work here but w.e.....)

I ignored his comments since I couldn't understand it and focused on the tent in his pants instead. I slowly brought my hand down and lightly touched it making Levi hiss and grab my hand.
 

"Ne pas." He whined out his voice dark and almost pained. My eyes widened at his action and I whined out knowing I made him angry. (Don't- French. I'm gonna make Levi use his native tongue when he's...umm..yeaaaa)

"No, no I'm not angry, Eren. You just, you can't, well we can't, at least not yet, or here-" He rushed out trying to pull me away from my hiding place in his pillows. He sat up slowly with a few hisses of pain and gently pulled me up. "Eren it's okay I'm not mad I promise."
 

"Levi, you're awake!" Hanji squealed, making both Levi and I jump. "What the fuck happened to your neck!?"

~

~

Levi's pink cheeks turned a bit pale and he brought his hand to his neck while looking at me. I smiled brightly while looking at his neck, seeing bruises and red marks. Did I do that?...

"Levi! I told you to wait on Eren! You mutt!" Hanji screeched, pulling me out of the bed making me glare at her and reach for Levi. "Come on hun, I'll get you away from this pervert!" 

"I didn't even do anything." Levi glared fiercely at her, making her pause and turn back to face him. "I woke up with him latched onto me."

"Eren," She gasped and began tickling me, I squirmed in her hold giggling and gasping for air. "You little minx." Levi lied in his bed, not helping me, laughing softly. I wanted to pout at the tickling but I couldn't help but giggle. 

"Alright Hanji, why are you really here?" Levi said. Hanji put me down and I quickly jumped back into Levi's arms. 

"Oh! Well that kid that Erwin saved won't let go of him and I was hoping Eren's cute self could help me get him off." She grinned.

"Bring him right back when you're done, Hanji, or else." He glared. Hanji only nodded before picking me up and dashing down the hall. For some reason I had the feeling she'd forget to take me back. Hanji carried me down a few more halls and into another room like Levi's.

"Let me the fuck go!"    -   "No!" 

My eyes widened at the sight of a short male wrapped around Erwin like a snake and people desperately trying to pull him off.  Armin and Misty each tugged at a leg that was stuck to Erwin while two others tugged on his arms. How could he still hold on?

"Got him!" A freckled dark hair boy called as he threw himself, and the boy to the ground. They rolled for a split second before the freckled boy pinned him to the ground. "I did it!" He cheered. Why was I brought here?

"Eren this is Felix, Felix this is Eren." Hanji smiled before turning to me. "Felix went through some of the things you did, Eren, maybe you two could help each other." I looked over at the wild boy wondering if it was even safe to go near him. 

"Hya I'm Felix!" He chirped after wiggling his hand out from under the boy and holding it out to me. I giggled and shook his hand smiling. "Well aren't you gonna say something?" He asked with a raised brow. 

"Eren can't talk." Armin said from where he sat by Misty. Felix glanced at Armin before turning back to me and looking me up and down as if he was studying me.

"He obviously can," Felix rolled his eyes, "He can giggle and make noises so he can talk. You just gotta help him out a bit. Say Bi-tch-es." He sounded out a word making everyone gasp.

"Felix!"

"Don't you dare teach him that!" I giggled and he gave me a wink before sliding out from under the boy. He gave a dramatic bow turning to Erwin. 

"We shall meet again my prince! But for now I bid you adieu." He blew a kiss before turning to me and linking our arms. "I can teach him how to talk again if you want." He said to Hanji. 

"Oh yes!! I know what his first word should be!!" She clapped, dragging us away. 

~Time skip brought to you by Felix

Hanji actually remembered to bring me back to Levi. "Leeeviii! We're back!" She screeched, throwing the door open with Felix and I still in her grasp. 

"Oi! Quiet down four eyes!" He hissed and looked at me. "Did you have fun Eren?" I nodded excitedly and jumped onto his bed. I looked back at Hanji and Felix who only gave me encouraging smiles, and motioned for me to hurry and say it.

"Daddy!" I breathed out; Levi paled and stiffened at my words before his eyes widened. 

"Did he just talk?" He asked softly looking down at me. I giggled repeating the name Hanji said Levi loved to be called. He tensed again and glared at Hanji.

"I thought you'd like his first word, Levi." She giggled.

"That's not the slightest bit humorous Four-eyes." He growled out. Why would he act like he hated the name if Hanji said he loved to be called it? 

"Lighten up you, oaf  at least he talks." Felix chirped from where he sat in the corner doing Fujoshi knows what. Levi was about to respond (bitterly) before he sighed and nodded.

"Thank you for that." He smiled softly giving a quick kiss on my head before he told them both to "Fuck off."

"Bye Ren!" Felix screamed (literally) as he walked out with Hanji.

"Eren you really shouldn't call me that, you don't even know what it means..." Levi sighed while gently tugging at my hair. I gave a slight pout which set him off in a panic. "Eren you don't know what it means so you shouldn't say it, Hanji did it as a joke which was wrong of her. I'm very happy you're talking, Cupcake but how about you call me something else for now." 

I gave a small nod, if Levi didn't want me saying that word I wouldn't say it. For now. "How about we try Levi?" He suggested it with a small smile and I nodded. How did a scary man have such a beautiful smile? "Okay let's start with Lee-" 

"L- l-lee." I spoke, trying to get my tongue to roll the right way making Levi laugh. "Now V-eye-" He cooed, sounding out his name.

"Vvvvi!" I cheered carrying on the "V", it felt weird when I used "V" my mouth would vibrate "Good job, now Leave-eye"

"Levi!" I giggled, making him grin as he leaned down and kissed my head.
 

After spending forever in the hospital we were finally home, if Levi did actually consider the "club" home like I do.

"We need a shower." Levi sighed as he dragged me to my room, for some odd reason I was very happy and excited at the thought of showering with him. But of course he bathed, dried, and dressed me before showering himself. He also knew I was upset about the fact because he had that stupid (hot) smirk on his face the entire time. 

"Come on Eren, time for bed." Levi spoke as he walked out of my bathroom...with just a towel on. I couldn't help but blush at the skin that was shown, a weird feeling settled in my stomach but I quickly pushed it away. I was beginning to wonder a lot about the things Levi made me feel, did I really want to be his boyfriend? 

I sighed deciding to not think about it at the moment, instead I crawled into my bed with Levi and fell asleep

~

I officially hate mornings. Levi left the room in a rush for work and ordered Armin and his friend Marco to help me get ready. 

"Hey Eren!" Armin chirped as he skipped in wearing a light pink (maid) dress with bunny ears and a tail. I waved at him before looking behind him at the tall boy. "Oh! Eren this is my friend Marco! Marco, this is Eren." The boy named Marco gave me a bright freckled kind smile while shaking my hand. 

"Hello Eren." He giggled while Armin walked in my closet to get me some clothes. 

"H-he-ll-hell-o" I grinned, copying him. His eyes widened slightly and I heard Armin drop something gasping "Oh my fuck.".

"I thought he didn't talk?" Marco asked.

"Felix and Hanji taught him a word but I guess he's picking stuff up on his own. " Armin spoke, walking over to me with a handful of clothes. "After we get you dressed I'll have my master inform Master Levi about this." Marco nodded as him and Armin began to dress me.

~ Sorry about all the time skips XD

I tugged at the end of the pink skirt that barely covered my thighs as we all sat at a reserved table. Felix, Misty, and a girl named Christa joined us when we walked down from Levi's room. 

"Ugh, they always leave us here alone." Marco sighed while spinning his cup around. 

"I miss Ymir." Christa sniffled playing with the ends of her sleeves.

"Hey! At least they're in a relationship with you!" Felix cried out banging his head on the table "Erwin won't even look at me!"

"I'm sorry Felix," Misty sighed, rubbing his back, "Maybe Mistress Hanji could help with that." 

"When did you start calling Hanji Mistress?" Armin asked and all eyes fell on a blushing Misty. "Forget that! Let's go find her!" Felix yelled getting up and dragging Misty off making the rest of us follow.

We found Hanji behind the club and in her own private room. "Mistress Hanji!" Misty called through the door; it was quickly opened and Hanji raised a brow looking between all of us.  "Felix needs your help!" 

"With what?" Hanji asked with a wide grin on her face. 

"With Erwin." Felix whined out, "He doesn't notice me no matter what I do! He hates me."

"Oh please hun, you're his type right down to that little attitude of yours." Hanji cooed, pulling us into her room.  

"Really?" Felix gasped.

"Yep, but unfortunatly Erwin is dense as fuck, soooooooo." She drawled out before sending Felix a wicked grin. "How good are your flirting skills?"

~

I sat on the couch in Hanji's private room with Armin and the other while we watched her dress Felix up for her plan. He was in rather revealing clothes when she finished but he didn't seem to mind. He was actually giggling and twirling around chasing the tail that was clipped to the back of his lace panties. 

"Feast your eyes boys and girls!" Hanji cheered, "Here we have one of my personal favorite Kitten outfits that will make Erwin just beg for his attention."

Felix stood giggling pulling on the sleeves of his "Meow" sweater. He wore only panties that had a hole in the back for lord knows what. I was honestly afraid to try and ask, he also had stockings close to a pair Levi had for me, he ended with kitten heads though. 

"Last few touches." Hanji spoke, placing a pair of kitten ears on his brown hair that was pulled up in two pigtails. She then pulled out a collar placing it around his neck making him grin. "Heels?" She asked which Felix nodded too.

"This just has to work!" Armin cheered watching Felix slip on what I assumed were heels. 

"I think it will." Christa chirped from where she sat beside me. "If we follow the plan Felix will have him wrapped around his pinkie before the end of tonight."

"What about our doms." Armin sighed. "They've been ignoring us all lately.'

"Why don't you all dress up?" Hanji suggested pulling out a rack of clothes. "Dibs on dressing Eren!!" She screeched, grabbing me and pulling me over to her. I was quickly thrown into a revealing outfit that I wasn't sure Levi would like me to be in.

I sighed and pulled and the collar wrapped around my neck with a chain connected leading down to my feet. My efforts were pointless since it was held together by a lock that Marco told me read "Levi's". 

"Come on guys! Let's go show the Doms who's boss!" Felix screeched running out of Hanjis room with her following with Misty. 

"Technically...they are." Marco said, earning a flick to his nose from Felix. 

"You know what I mean, freckle face." 

We walked back into the club area and all eyes immediately flew to the six of us (Hanji not included)

"Alright you guys I'll go get everyone you all follow the plan."

"What if we add something extra?" Petra suggested leaning over and whispering to Hanji and Felix, making them both grin. 

"Alright but keep an eye on Eren and keep him out of trouble, I don't need Levi killing everyone." Hanji ordered before running off. 

~

So no one kept me out of trouble, in fact they dragged me into their misbehaving...

I squeaked as Armin pressed me against Marco, trapping me between them while they danced against me. We were currently on one of the three stages, Christa, and Misty were dancing on another one, while Felix set up on the one between.

"You have to relax Eren," Marco whispered from where he was behind me. I blushed furiously not knowing what to do. 

"Do you even know how to dance?" Armin asked. I shook my head no pouting a bit. "That's alright Marco and I will help you!" I yelped once again as Armin grabbed my hips forcing them to follow his and Marcos movements. I blushed once again when the three of us started moving flush against each other. 

"You're doing great." Armin giggled causing me to smile, we stopped dancing for a moment when the beat changed signaling that Felix was about to come out.

We quickly moved to the new beat as Felix slowly walked out just as the others began walking in. I quickly pointed them to the others only making them all grin and speed up their movements. 

Felix himself did his signature smirk as he began to spin himself around the pole in front of him while the male behind him waited for his own que

"Something lately drives me crazy

Has to do with how you make me

Struggle to get your attention

Calling you brings apprehension"

I watched in awe as Felix moved his body in ways I didn't think was possible, each move was graceful and careful but very sinful. 

I sent a glance at the group only to find Levi's cold hard glare set firmly on me making me freeze. 

"What's wrong Er- Oh shit." Marco whispered once he caught sight of Levi's glare. "He's pissed." 

I quickly separated myself from them and made my way towards Levi, leaving them to dance with each other. 

"Flirt with you you're all about it

Tell me why I feel unwanted?"

Once I was close enough Levi's hand shot out and roughly pulled me into his lap. I whimpered slightly but swallowed it down when I saw how upset he truly was. I nuzzled into his neck curling into him slowly making him sigh and pull me closer. 

"Stop fucking tainting him Hanji." He hissed out while I continued to watch the plan fall into action.

"Why the fuck is Marco up there!?" A man hissed marching over to where a crowd of men were surrounding him and Armin. Bertholdt shot up from his seat when pairs of hands began trying to grab at the dancing boys. 

Felix was now dancing against his friend who seemed to be enjoying himself a bit too much, while Erwin sat fuming in his seat. I looked at Hanji who sent me a wink making me giggle.

Tell me how I mesmerize you

I love you and despise you

Back to the crowd where you ignore me

Bedroom eyes to those before me

How am I supposed to handle

Lit the fuse and missed the candle"

"Don't even fucking look at him Hanji." Levi hissed, forcing my face back into his neck. 

"Awe stop pouting Levi, Eren Hun, why don't you tell your daddy how much you love him?" She said sending a smirk ,too much like Felix, to Levi.

I nuzzled into Levi's neck. "I l-lo-love y-ou Daddy!" 

'I love you too." He said, kissing my head.

Levi loves me! He actually loves me. I grinned brightly at Levi cuddling up to him, turning just in time to see Erwin holding a smirking Felix against a wall. He had that powerful, sinful, glint in his eye as he looked up at Erwin, dominating him with just his gaze. 

"I told ya, it would work." I looked over to see Hanji talking to the others before she sent me another wink. 

"You planned this?" The man holding Marco asked, narrowing his eyes at us. 

"We just wanted to help Felix, Sir." Marco whispered, causing the man to raise a brow at him. He grabbed a fistful of Marco's hair before tipping his head back until he was forced to look up at him. 

"I don't think I gave you permission to speak to Babyboy, you're still in trouble for this little stunt." A sharp whine left Marco's lips as he nodded his head as best as he could. He breathed a soft "Yes Sir." causing the man to release him and kiss his head. 

"You're also in a lot of trouble." Bertholdt hissed to Armin who blushed brightly at his wandering hand. "I understand Sir." I looked up at Levi a bit confused about all their relationships and wondered if I was gonna get punished for being a part of their plan to get Felix and Erwin together. Luckily Levi didn't say anything to me about punishment as we all sat in silence watching the two practically "do it" against the wall. 

"Somebody go get them a room." Levi sighed while covering my eyes so I was no longer able to see them. Hanji nodded, skipping off and shooing the blushing pair away. 

"What are the plans for tonight?" Mikasa asked as she sat down pulling Annie into her lap. 

"I'm going to take Eren home, you may all go home as well if you'd like." Levi spoke. 

"H-ho-ome?" I asked, didn't he live here?

"Yes, my home, I don't live here Eren." He chuckled, making me pout and hide my face as the others laughed as well. 

~Time skip brought to you by Felix's sass~

I watched in boredom as more scenery passed by my window, the others had fallen asleep leaving just Levi and I awake as his personal driver drove us all to his house. It was supposed to be just Levi and I going to his house but it changed when I threw a "tantrum" wanting my new friends and I to have a sleepover. I had never had one before but Armin said they're really fun. 

"We're here." Levi whispered as the car turned pulling up to Levi's hou-

"That is not a house! That is a castle!" Armin screeched, making me nod while Levi rolled his eyes. 

"It's a house, Armin, I own much bigger ones." I looked over at Levi suspiciously...how did he have that much money? As if sensing my curiosity Levi quickly changed the subject. 

"You can all swim while I send out a worker to get you all food and other things." Armin and Marco grinned brightly while Misty, Petra, and Annie slowly crawled out behind us all silently. We all followed behind Levi as he led us through different rooms and halls explaining what each room was for. 

"You can all hang out in Eren's room," Levi said, pointing to a white door. "My room is down the hall if you need anything, but please knock before coming in." 

"What's behind that door?" Misty asked, pointing to a bright red door, Armin and the others glanced before they all began to giggle. 

"It's obviously a playroom, their doors are almost always red." Armin said while Levi just shook his head. 

"Jean will be here shortly with all your bags and Felix, Eren your clothes are in your closet and swimsuits are in your dresser along with your pajamas." Levi spoke before walking down the hall and to his room. 

"Let's go see your room!" Armin and the others opened the door leading to my room and dashed in while I stood there in the hall gaping at it. It was not a room...It looked more like Levi's "Penthouse" at the club than a simple bedroom. There was even a fireplace in here!

"This is amazing Eren!" Armin squealed, jumping on my bed while Annie and Misty giggled at him. I nodded and sat on the couch with Marco while Armin and the girls ran around my room looking and touching everything. 

"Holy shit! Your bathroom is huge!!" Perta gasped as she walked into the room with the others peeking in and gasping in awe. 

"You're so lucky Eren!" Misty whined playfully.

"You better give Levi a sloppy top for all this." Everyone screamed and I turned to see Felix in the door with a giant grin on his face and a man behind him. What the heck is a sloppy top?  

"Master!" Marco gasped running over to the man and jumping in his arms causing the bags he was holding to fall to the floor around them. I giggled watching him pick up Marco shaking his head and laughing as Marco nuzzled into his neck. They reminded me of me and Levi.

"Here's all your bags, your phones are also in there for you too call your Doms before bed." 

"Thank you Master Jean." They all spoke, bowing their heads a bit as they grabbed their bags. Jean only nodded, turning his attention back to Marco who was still latched onto him. 

"Come on baby boy," He sighed trying to get him off, but Marco only tightened his grip with a whine. Jean rolled his eyes pinching Marcos thighs magically making him let go and drop to the floor with a pout. 

"You better stiffen that lip up before I bite it baby boy." He said sternly, making Marco grin like Felix usually did. 

"Yes Master." He winked, grabbing his bag and skipping off to the bathroom where the others were getting dressed. Jean bit his own lip watching him go before turning to me with widened eyes. 

"Sorry," He coughed awkwardly. "I'll just be going now." I watched him dart out the door and into the hall before deciding to find my swimsuit. 

Once we were all dressed we headed down the stairs and out the front door leading to Levi's pool. I watched the others run and dive into the pool while I sat on the side slowly putting my feet in. I didn't know much about swimming let alone pools, but I heard they were supposed to be cold. 

"Come on, Eren. Get in." Armin called out before being pushed under by Felix. I shook my head when he came back up, enjoying just having my feet in the water and watching my friends have fun. 

I watched Annie and Marco glide and dive through the water with grace and beauty while Felix continued to try and drown the others. He could obviously swim like the others but decided to just fool around attempting to murder our friends. I giggled a bit when Armin decided enough was enough and dragged Felix to the bottom of the pool. He rose back up with a pout and opened his mouth to yell when he was cut off.

"Are those hickeys!?" Petra gasped, making the others turn and force Felix's head to move in different ways so they could see better. 

"Oh. My. God. It is!" Mraco said, pinching Felix. "You're such a whore." Felix only sent him a wink before slipping away from them and swimming to the ledge. He slowly pulled himself out revealing more "hickeys" scattered across his body. 

"Oh my Jesus Felix! Details!" Armin screeched, jumping out of the pool and running after him. Annie and the girls grinned a way that only girls could and joined them on the couch a little ways away from the pool. 

"You okay Eren?" Marco asked while gliding over to where I sat. I nodded, continuing to sway my feet underneath the warm water. "You wanna come listen to Felix's story?" 

I shook my head laying back and listened to Marco walk over to the group of giggling bottoms. I looked up at the stars that began to show thinking about the fact that just a few weeks ago I was looking at the same stars from my bedroom window back at Grisha's home.

It's amazing how much better my life got just by taking that risk and getting away from Grisha's wicked grasp. I'm free, I'm happy, and I think I'm in love. The night went on with them drilling Felix about his new sex life with Erwin and me trying not to listen to all the horrific details. 

"-the things I made him do." Felix said with a moan as he continued to tell his story.

"You made him do things?!" Armin gasped in awe.

"Well yea, I know what I want and he's good at taking orders." He explained with a shrug. "I don't top him, I sorta just... ya know, give him instructions or whatever." 

"You're one of those subs that top from the bottom?' Marco asked confused and distastefully. "Dom's usually hate that sorta thing." 

"We haven't really talked about our relationship yet, or if we even want one like that." He said laying back on the couch looking into the water of the pool. "I mean the sex was amazing and kinky as fuck...but, ya know. I don't want him controlling me or my life, I like to be in control of myself and what happens to me."

"It's not-" Armin began but was cut off by Felix.

"I know the lifestyle isn't just that, but it's just something personal for me ." He shrugged and the others nodded. As if the uncomfortable silence was beginning to get to him, Felix quickly changed the topic off of him...and onto me.

"So, Eren, You and Levi?" He asked while wiggling his eyebrows. 

"Wh-what?" I squeaked out beginning to blush. making Felix smirk.

"You know what I'm talking about cutie, has he popped your cherry yet? We need details." This caught everyone's attention for some reason. What did that even mean?

"L-levi?" I called out in surprise seeing him leaning against the wall behind the couch where they all sat. They nodded for what I was assuming to be an explanation...did they not notice him yet?

"What happens between Eren and I is private unless I say otherwise." He darkly spoke causing them all to scream, squeal, and fall off the couch in fright. "Your Dom's have called informing me it's your "bed time" and you need to call them." 

They all pouted but none the less followed Levi inside and back up to my room.

"Sometimes I could just twist my Master's tits when it comes to this stupid bedtime." Marco huffed and everyone agreed except for Annie, Felix, and I who didn't have Dom's. Annie and Mikasa were some of Levi's "employees" who date, they just weren't in the same type of relationship like the others were. 

I was assuming Levi also was into relationships like these, but it's not like I could ask him and It was none of my business sadly. As much as the thought of it hurt...who ever Levi was with and how he was with them...wasn't my business. 

But...he did say he loved me though...and what about what happened in my bedroom...and the hospital... would that mean he and I are in a relationship? And one like the others are in!? I was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed with confusion and forced it down, continuing to follow the others into my room.

Just as I stepped into the room a hand latched onto my arm and pulled me back making me gasp. 

"Are you okay Eren?" Levi asked, looking down at me in concern. I nodded slightly, heat creeping up to my cheeks and my thoughts once again going haywire. He gave me a stern look obviously not believing me and disliking the fact that I lied. 

"Eren." He growled out making me whine, I hated making him mad. I hugged him nuzzling into his neck making him sigh softly and pick me up. 

"Do you want to come sleep with me?" He asked, I wanted to...but I couldn't leave my friends alone. I reluctantly shook my head no and began to slide down when Felix jumped out into the hall.

"Actually, no room in here," He sighed sadly, I looked at him confused since my room was so big. "You should go sleep in Levi's room."

Levi tried hiding a grin when he looked down at me and let it slip when I nodded and clung to him once again. We peacefully walked down the hall until Felix decided to yell out right when we got to the door.

~

"I better hear some moans tonight!" Felix shrieked causing my cheeks to flame up; Levi only laughed and made his way down the hall to his room. It was another giant room, something I learned to expect when it came to Levi, but it was oddly pretty empty.

"D-do you e-ev-even sl-sleep here?" I asked, looking around the room. It was a creamy color, with brown and gold here and there but nothing too extreme. In the middle of the room, there was a king sized round bed that sat on a higher, carpeted level. I looked over to see an extra balcony room off to the front near all the windows. Besides the few dressers built into the bed stand and a chair set, there was nothing else in the room. 

"Not too much." Levi hummed walking over to his bed and setting me down, here I noticed that there was a door hidden away on the far side of the room, you wouldn't notice it unless you walked in. I looked past the bed and noticed that there was a room behind it, it was most likely where the door had lead. "I'm mostly at the club, but if you like it here, we can start staying more."

I nodded looking around the room for a bit longer before Levi picked me up and changed the both of us. He then laid me back onto the bed before climbing in himself and pulling me to his chest, quickly falling asleep.

I lied stiff and uncomfortable listening to his soft breathing against my ear as he held me close. For some reason I couldn't sleep, I couldn't stop thinking about everything Levi's done for me...with nothing in return. I sighed and shuffled around facing Levi, watching him peacefully sleep. I traced the outline of his jaw slowly rising to his cheek before tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. 

He was beautiful. 

I continued to watch him, my mind racing trying to come up with ways to pay him back. I had no money and nothing to give him, and even if I did I doubt he would take it anyways. Levi was kind like that. I sighed sadly not being able to think of any way to repay him. Until I remembered what Felix had said.

"You better give Levi a sloppy top for this."

But what the heck is a sloppy top? I know I had heard it at the club a few times; some before a scene, some Doms joking, Subs teasing each other about stories they told. I kept replaying all the conversations I had overheard until one memory stood out. 

A young Dom named Declan, who Felix had recently introduced me too, was joking with his brother, another Dom, and his sub and began talking about sloppy tops. The Dom and Sub had no clue what he was talking about making him laugh and correct the term. 

"You don't know what Sloppy top means dude!?" He clutched his stomach and began to laugh. "Its a fucking blow job dumbass, ya know suckin a dick?!"

Felix wanted me to do that!? To Levi? Would he even like that...Well Felix is never wrong so. 

I cast a quick glance at Levi to make sure he was still sleeping. When I saw that he was I slowly pulled the blanket off of the two of us freezing slightly when he shifted. I looked down thanking god that Levi only slept in his boxers.

I let out a breath as I slowly turned Levi onto his back, with great effort due to my small frame. before sitting in his lap and looking at his still sleeping figure. 

Felix is never wrong...

I slowly made my way down Levi's body stopping when he began to shift or sigh. 

I didn't even know how to do this...But I have seen it done at Levi's club. I had also accidentally and horrifyingly witnessed Armin and Bertholdt do this in a scene together once. I shuddered at the memory but was glad that I had some idea on how to do what I was about to do. 

I slowly slid my hands up his thighs like I had seen a Declan do to one of his Subs. I paused looking up at Levi frowning when I didn't get a reaction. I then began to kiss and suck his thighs, thinking back and remembering more of what Declan did. 

I slowly began to move my lips up and over the fabric of his boxers gasping when Levi unexpectedly bucked up into my face with a small groan. I pulled his boxers down his legs and off his feet before throwing them to the floor. I looked back up blushing at his size and how built he actually was, I bit my lip eyeing his abs and what Armin called a "happy trail". 

I crawled back onto the bed sitting off to the side wondering what to do next, thinking back to the time in my bedroom I took Levi in my hand and began to pump up and down at a slow pace. 

My own body began to heat up when Levi once again began to groan and rut into my hand. Just as I began to lean down Levi's hand shot out grabbing my hair and yanking my head back making me cry out and release him.

"Cherie, Eren, que fais-tu?" He panted as he sat up still holding my head back. I looked at him not understanding a word, making him cough and speak again. (Holy shit Eren what are you doing- French I couldn't put the accents)

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Sl-lop-py to-top." I spoke with a slight struggle at the new words and the odd angle of my throat.

"Where the fuck did you learn that." He growled, making me whine and try to shift away. He let my hair go and pulled me to his now covered lap muttering a "sorry".

"C-cl-ub, a-and Fe-li-c- Felix." He sighed, dragging his hand across his face before pulling us both back down into the bed. 

"Don't go doing things those idiots tell you to do, Eren." He spoke softly, running his fingers through my hair. I nodded softly curling back up to him, pulling back when I felt him brush against my thigh. He hissed softly cursing and sat up turning away to the edge of the bed. 

I crawled over almost choking at the size once again before frowning at Levi's pain filled face. I slowly dropped to the floor moving in front of him and once again kissing up his thighs. 

~ Ya'll thought. Time Skip brought to you by Sloppy Tops

Levis POV:

Things with Eren have been a bit awkward since the night he gave me a blowjob without really knowing what he was doing. It was mostly me being awkward about the whole situation but that was only because I actually understood everything, and I really shouldn't have let him do it, and I shouldn't be having these awfully dirty thoughts about the things I could do to him. He was a kid, who didn't understand most things, and I was an adult who did.

But he was just too hard to resist, with his cute pout and puppy eyes and his annoying persistence...anyone would give into him within a heartbeat. He was lust and innocence all wrapped into one and it was hot as fuck. 

"Levi." He whined tugging on my shirt while looking up at me with a pout. Did I ever mention how fucking hot and cute his voice was? I really needed to thank that Felix boy for teaching him how to talk again. 

"Yes?" I asked, looking down to where he lay on my bed in nothing but one of my old shirts and a pair of underwear from his room. He looked amazing in girl clothes and I was ecstatic when I learned he enjoyed wearing them.

I let my eyes stray away from his mismatched ones to his bare thighs. He was sickly pale and had scars all along his body but he was still beautiful to me. Part of me wanted to know what he went through even though I knew it was horrendous. Id probably end up wishing I didn't kill Grisha so I could torture him some more. What kind of a sick fuck could do that to their own child!? 

I knew I had to wait until Eren could speak properly and was actually ready to talk about what happened to him. Most of what happened to him left a permanent fear etched into his soul. I learned he was terrified of the dark, tight spaces, and when he thought someone was angry at him. I hated knowing he had all these fears and wish I could help him work through them.

"I'm h-hun-gry." He whined with a pout causing a smile to sneak its way onto my face. He was too fucking cute, and I was starting to get hard again. I quickly pushed all dirty thoughts away, he isn't even fucking legal yet, then again, nothing I do is legal. I snorted at the irony.

"Let's go get some breakfast then." I smiled softly, picking him up and carrying him downstairs to my kitchen. I gave the house help some time off so Eren could have some time to settle in and get used to the place without having to deal with meeting new people.

He smiled brightly nuzzling his face into my neck and I could feel myself fall for him a little more. This kid had me wrapped around his little finger and he didn't even know it. I knew I was lost the moment I saw him curled up in the box looking up at me Hanji with fear and hopelessness. A great wave of protectiveness came over me and I knew I had to take him in and help him. 

It was all known for me, I wasn't the soft teddy bear type nor did I ever really love anyone besides my sisters. I was learning all of this just as he was and I guess that made this all a little bit better. 

As soon as I set Eren on the stool my phone went off making me groan. I really couldn't deal with another problem right now. 

"What?" I snapped, not bothering to check who it was.

"What's got your panties in a twist?" The idiot laughed while I sighed and shook my head. Leave it to Haze to annoy me within the first second of a conversation. 

"What do you want?" I asked, going to the fridge to get Eren something to eat. 

"Declan and I are gonna bring our boys over tonight so we can finally meet this kid whos got ya chained up!" I could see the smirk on his face. Who the fuck told- Hanji. I sighed once again pulling a carton of milk and orange juice before grabbing a random box of cereal. I was too annoyed to cook. 

"Fine but don't expect me to actually answer the door for your weird asses." I said hoping it would make him back out. I didn't want them meeting Eren, the four of them were worse than Felix. 

"Don't worry I have a key." 

Of course he did.

Back to Eren's Pov:

After breakfast, Levi brought me back up to his room for a nap.I responded with "I'm a seventeen year old boy, I don't need naps." Right before I proved him right by falling asleep.

But I was now wide awake, lost in my own thoughts.

I was still confused on what Levi and I were and why he was so hesitant on doing certain things with me when we both enjoyed them. I liked Levi a lot, in the way Armin spoke to me about, in a romantic way. I saw how my new friends interacted with their Dom's or "lovers" and realized that I wanted that with Levi.

"You're awake." Levi spoke, walking into the room in a new pair of clothes. I nodded, sitting up and crawling over to the edge of the bed, where he sat. He smiled softly, brushing my hair and kissing my forehead.

"I have some friends coming over tonight if you're comfortable with meeting them." I nodded my head, I liked meeting new people, mainly Levis friends. They were always really nice to me and gave me food. He hummed in response, neither of us moving and just looking out his window focusing on nothing in particular.

"Levi?" I whispered, getting another hum in response. 

"Do you l-love me?" I asked tilting my head up to look at him. He froze for a moment before nodding his head. 

"Of course I love yo-" He began but I cut him off.

"Li-like how Ar-mm-in loves Berth-o-o-l-dt. And A-a-nn-ie loves Mik-asa...and- " He cut me off like I did to him, only he moved to kneel in front of me on the floor. He looked into my eyes with his usual hard gaze only I could tell he was about to say something serious. 

"I do love you like Eren, but I don't think you're ready for something like that. You're still young and have a lot to learn about those things like that and my lifestyle." He sighed.

"But I love you like th-a-at too." I said catching him off guard, I had said it before but that was when Hanji had told me to. 

"What?" He whispered cautiously not knowing whether he could trust me or not. I couldn't blame him, I don't know too many things, but I did know that if I wasn't already in love with Levi, I was falling fast. 

I took a deep breath, saying the words slowly trying not to stutter so he could understand.

"I do...know what love...is Levi. I love-d my mom, and I-ive...seen other...people in love before. I-I-I do- l-lo-ve" My nerves got caught in my throat causing the stuttering to come back full force. 

A small gasp left my lips as he gently took my face into his hands tilting my head back so I could look into his eyes. He smiled gently, running his thumb across my cheek softly, never taking his eyes off my own. He slowly leaned in, letting his lips brush against mine in the most tender way. His lips were soft and surprisingly warm, they felt amazing against my own, molding perfectly into mine as if they were made for mine and mine alone.

I reached my hands up, gently holding his wrists as his tongue slowly poked out against my lips easily slipping between them. I began to blush when his tongue ran against my own as he explored my mouth carefully, as if he was trying to memorize it. 

He tasted like chocolate ice cream, which was now officially my new favorite thing. 

I let out a whine of protest when he began to pull away from me, making him chuckle. I panted softly looking up at him not realizing I had lost too much air. My lips were buzzing and my heart was pounding. That was my first kiss...

"We'll take this slow, okay Eren." He whispered against my lips and I nodded. 

"Slow." I whispered, grabbing onto his hair pulling his lips to mine again.

Slow.

I sat glaring at the back of Levi's friend's head, angry that they interrupted Levi and I. We were finally getting somewhere with whatever we are and they ruined it. 

"Awe he's so fucking cute when he pouts! I can see why your so fucking whipped." Levi's highly annoying friend, Haze grinned while pinching my cheeks making me whine out. He had an uncomfortably tight grip on my cheeks and his height was causing me to rise on my tip toes. 

"Leave him alone, and dont fucking cuss around him!" Levi hissed, whacking the back of his head while pulling me behind him. 

"Look who's talking." Declan snorted from his position on the couch, while holding his sub Luke tightly against his side. Both men were a lot like Levi, only they were constantly being inappropriate and acting out in every possible way. But I did notice they sorta brought those traits out of Levi.

"Shut up." He snorted, rolling his eyes making the other men laugh. I peeked out from behind him looking at both the subs: Luke and Ollie. They were obviously related, both having slightly tanned skin and light brown hair. Ollie had bright green eyes with more freckles than Marco, while Luke had soft blue ones. At first they came off shy but once they got comfortable, they were almost as bad as their Doms. They reminded me of Felix a lot. 

"So when are we going to the club?" Haze asked, causing Levi to look at me cautiously. 

"We can leave whenever you guys are ready I guess." He shrugged. They nodded, standing up and grabbing some bags along with their sub's hands.

"We'll go get ready and meet you down here, Okay?" Haze called following his brother up the stairs. Levi nodded before turning to me.

"Are you comfortable going? I can take you to Isabels if you'd like." He spoke as if it was no big deal but I could tell he wanted me to go. 

"Yea." I grinned nodding and began to skip up the stairs to his room hearing him follow me close behind. Levi had quickly dressed in an all black mostly leather outfit that he said most Doms wore. He looked breathtakingly amazing. The loose black jeans that showed off his long legs were tucked into his leather boots, he had a tight black tee-shirt that clung to him like a second skin showing off all his muscles , and a long leather jacket that made him look intimidating.

"You really don't have to do this Eren." Levi said again while pulling out an outfit for me. I rolled my eyes and scoffed, making his right eye twitch and his hands clench. 

"Do that again and I will bend you over my knee." He gritted out through clenched teeth making me gulp and nod. Levi always kept his word. He visibly relaxed and began to dress me in the outfit he had picked out. 

He took his time pulling up the pink panties and skirt along with the thigh high white stockings. I wiggled my toes against the soft fabric giggling softly at the feeling. He carefully pulled the shirt over my head and smiled softly down at me once he was finished. 

"I want you to try some things on and if you don't like them tell me and I'll remove them." He said walking over to the closet grabbing a bag. I nodded eager to see what was hidden inside.

I blushed brightly when he pulled out a pair of pink leather handcuffs and a pink collar with a matching leash. He slowly walked over and gently placed the collar around my neck. 

"Is this okay?" He whispered into my ear and I nodded, it was an odd feeling but I sorta liked having it around my neck. I watched as he grabbed the leash and waited breathlessly as he hooked it onto the collar. He looked down at me waiting to see if I wanted it off and smiled when I only looked up at him waiting for the cuffs.

He quickly grabbed them, ordering me to put my hands out and made quick work of locking them around my wrist. It was weird having my hands bound so closely together but the thought of Levi having some sort of control over me excited me in a weird way. 

"Are you ready to go?" He asked, grabbing onto my leash and helping me off of the bed. I gave a small nod, shyly following him out of the room and down the stairs where his friends were waiting.

"Damn." Haze whistled smacking Levi's butt as he walked past, leading me along by the leash. Levi glared at Haze darkly, pushing him away lightly so the leash wouldn't tug me, and threatened to break Haze's hand if he ever did it again.

"You know you loved it." He scoffed, making Ollie, Luke, and I giggle. He sent us winks before opening the front door and leading us all out. I watched in silence as the three Doms goofed off pushing each other around cracking inappropriate jokes about what they do to us boys. 

I didn't understand any of their jokes.

"Just get in the fucking car." Levi sighed, shoving Haze away from me again. 

"Tsk, tsk, Levi. Don't use that kind of language in front of Eren." He spoke with a smug smirk only fueling Levis' anger. His smirk quickly turned into a yelp when Levi forced him into the car by his hair. 

"Quit being so fuc- freaking annoying." He hissed before gently placing me in one of the front seats. He waited for Decal and the other boys to get in the car before making his way to the driver's seat and pulling off.

~

Normally rides with Levi were quiet and comfortable, but with Haze and Declan in the back seat I had gotten a small headache by the time we got back to Levi's club.

"Okay shut up and get the hell out of my car." Levi snapped once we pulled into his reserved space. They only smirked in response and began helping their own subs out of the car. 

"Master Levi? Is Felix here?" Ollie asked timidly, keeping his eyes to his feet.

"I heard he and Erwin were in the back doing "sinful things" to each other." He spoke dull-ley while rolling his eyes and leading us all back into the club. I looked around quickly spotting Misty, Marco, and Christa walking around with their new uniforms serving drinks and taking orders from the tables. 

"Master Declan, may I go find Felix?" Luke looked up at Declan giving him puppy eyes. 

"Of course you can love, but I'm coming with you." He smiled softly making Luke grin and kiss his cheek.

"Bet that's never actually happened before." Haze muttered, making Levi snort and Declan smack him.

"Shut the fuck up." He growled before taking Luke's hand and walking off. Haze shrugged watching them go before turning to Ollie.

"Let's go sit." He suggested. Levi nodded tugging on my leash and leading us all to his private booth. I watched as Ollie kneeled at Haze's feet leaning his head against his knee looking oddly happy at the uncomfortable position. Would Levi make me do that?

I got my answer when he simply pulled me into his lap with my cuffed hands pressed against his chest, I nuzzled into it  watching Marco and the others work while Levi ran his fingers into my hair. 

"Are you and Eren going to be doin a scene?" Haze asked from where he sat. I felt Levi tense lightly at the question and began to wonder what a scene was.

"No, but if you want there are more private scene areas in the back and if you don't want an audience there are open play rooms." He spoke in a bored tone.

"Ollie and I don't mind audiences." Haze laughed, making Ollie blush as the pair began to get up. " You and your boy can come watch whenever you'd like" He called out while  walking with Ollie to the back.

"What's a sc-scene?" I asked leaning back to look up at Levi. He looked a bit uncomfortable but answered my question. 

"Well it depends on what the Dom and Sub are comfortable with doing with not only each other, but in front of others." He began not meeting my gaze. "I can't really explain it well since you don't know much about any of this. I could...take you to go watch Haze and Ollie but I'm not sure if you could handle it." 

"I wanna go see." I pried, I wasn't going to learn anything about his lifestyle if he was so hesitant on showing me and teaching me. After a few minutes of Levi explaining rules and then another few of him making sure I actually wanted to go, he led me to the room where Haze and Ollie were.

"As soon as you're uncomfortable, tell me and we will leave okay?" Levi said as we stood outside one of the many red doors. I nodded up at him with a grin and he tried to return it as he opened the door. I blushed as we made our way inside, I could hear grunts, moans, and many other weird sounds. Levi led me to a seat and once again pulled me into his lap, only with me facing the other way. I gasped at what was before me. 

I watched in awe as Ollie's back arched into his Dom's touch as the paddle came down on his bare ass for the twentieth time. (According to the number Ollie screeched) He cried out in pleasure with eyes screwed shut as more tears streamed down his blushing face.

His freckled hands began to turn white at the death like grip he had on the rope that tied him down onto the bed in the middle of the room. He took in a shaky breath as Haze's hands began to descend down his body and let it go in a whine when they slowly began to travel up his thighs.

"You're such a good boy." Haze growled out right before he plunged into Ollie making him scream. I watched, unable to turn away from what the two were doing. Could Levi and I do that? I blushed at the thought but couldn't keep images of the two of us doing the exact same things out of my mind. I looked down feeling the panties Levi had put me in, tighten.

"Levi." I whined out in discomfort. He looked down at me with a heated, yet hesitant gaze. So I grabbed one of his hands and led it down to my skirt, with him watching my every move. Then a memory hit me and I smiled up at him softly.

"Daddy." I breathed out.

I felt Levi stiffen and rise slightly at my word. I was beginning to wonder why calling him Daddy affected him (and I) so much, but the thought immediately flew away when his cold hand touched my bare thigh. 

"You're such a naughty little boy Eren." He cooed in my ear as his hand began to rise slowly. I could still hear Ollies moans and Haze's grunts, but they seemed to drift away the more Levi spoke.

"You want Daddy to touch you Eren?" He purred, making me whine and nod. How on earth did he make things feel so good? "Words Eren." I cried out when his movements suddenly stopped right when he was so close to where I desperately wanted him. 

'Y-y-yes." I whined breathlessly wanting him to move. 

"Yes what?" He urged his hand beginning to move down into my panties. 

"Yes, Daddy." I whispered then moaned when he firmly gripped me muttering "Baiser." Under his breath.  (Fuck~French I think *shrugs* they'll correct it for me) 

"Good boy." He whispered, wrapping his hand around me and slowly began to pump me. 

"Watch them Eren." He whispered hotly in my ear making my eyes shoot up to see Haze still roughly pounding into a sobbing Ollie. "Would you like Daddy to do that to you?" He asked to speed up. I nodded desperately, quickly calling out "Yes Daddy." when he roughly squeezed me.

He was soon pumping in time with Haze's thrust making me feel even hotter. I could only imagine Levi actually doing those things to me. And the thought of him spanking me sparked something deep within.

"L-levi." I whimpered, closing my eyes when my stomach began to tighten. I gripped into his bicep with one of my cuffed hands, my nails digging deep with my attempts to fight off the feeling.

"I said watch Eren." He tsked grabbing my chin in a tight grip with one of his hands. I opened my eyes once more and watched as Ollie threw his head back with eyes screwed shut and mouth open in a silent cry. Haze held a tight grip on his pale freckled sweat coated waist while he brutally assaulted the boy's body.  Each thrust sent Ollie forward into the bed but Haze sharply pulled him back each time. 

"Ma-aa-ster." He cried out in a long moan. "I-I nee-eed too-"

"Hold it pet or i'll get the ring." Haze growled going impossibly faster. Ollie whined his head falling down into his tightly clenched hands. He was fighting it off just as hard as I was. 

"Should I make you wait like Ollie?" Levi mused in my ear. I quickly shook my head no, not wanting to go through that torture. 

"N-no."

"Well you have been a pretty good boy. And good boys do get rewarded." He hummed, pumping harder and faster. 

"Levi." I whispered out my breath hitching as I released. I panted into Levi's shoulder as he slowly came to a stop. We both looked up just in time to see Haze and Ollie release at the same time. 

So much for going slow.

"Have fun?" Haze asked me with a wink. I blushed, hiding my face in Levi's neck making both men chuckle, only embarrassing me further. "I'm gonna take Ollie to a room for some after care, I'll catch up with you guys later." He waved us off while beginning to untie a flustered and dazed Ollie from the bed. 

"Don't worry about the mess, I have cleaners." Levi said dully while standing , Haze only nodded, paying more attention to Ollie than to Levi and I. I wrapped my bound hands around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder while he carried me out and down the hall. 

I didn’t question him when we walked past the way back out into the club. I lied still, not having the energy for anything else. He ended up bringing me to his private playroom/lounge and gently set me on the bed after uncuffing me. I rubbed my wrist feeling weird after having them cuffed that long and watched Levi walk around the room from where I lied against a mountain of pillows.

"You thirsty Cupcake?" He asked, making me blush at the nickname, I nodded shifting a bit on the bed so that I was now sitting on my knees as I watched him. "Words Eren, you need to talk a lot more if you're gonna learn."

"Yes Levi." I giggled looking up at him as he smiled softly while grabbing me a drink. 

"I really like hearing you say my name," He spoke while bringing over a bottle of water. He sat against the headboard and pulled me against his chest while unscrewing the cap. "But not as much as I like you calling me Daddy and Sir." 

"That's too many dif-f-er-ent names." I pouted up at him after I took a sip, my body was still heavy and tired so I couldn't drink on my own. Not that Levi would've let me anyways. "Do I just..pi-i-ick one?"

"No," He spoke softly and began to play with my hair as he helped me drink the water. "We'll decide on what you're comfortable calling me when and where as will I. We both need to be comfortable and feel safe. So we will set boundaries for this to work."

"Levi." I sighed, sitting back and looking at him. "When are you go-oi-ing to act-u-ua-ally start teach-ing me this?" I hated his hesitance, I wanted to learn so we could be close and intimate the way we both so desperately wanted.

"What we did today was the first step." He smiled happily, causing me to do the same. "And we will continue, but..." He paused as he began to lightly press kisses all over my face making me giggle.  "You also need to start learning how to read and write and practice on your speech a little more." He said, making me attempt to pout until he kissed it away. "I won't overwhelm you, so we'll divide the days and give you some days to just relax and be with your friends."

"And you." I insisted on nuzzling back into his side.

"And me." He laughed and kissed my head.

After a while, Levi re-cuffed me and carried me back out into the bar where Haze, Declan, and the boys were waiting.

"Took you guys long enough," Felix said with an eye roll. "Did you guys go another round or something? Gosh have respect for your friends."

Levi ignored his question, taking his usual seat with me in his lap, making Felix pout at the lack of attention. I laughed slightly hiding my face in Levi's chest to quiet my giggles. My attempts were pointless and everyone else at the table ended up laughing more at me than with me as well.

"Says you." Luke snorted, making me look up as he playfully glared at Felix. "I walked in on Erwin sucking you off and even after you saw me you two kept going!"

"Not around Eren." Levi sighed quietly, but it seemed to go unheard as the two kept talking.

"You could've joined." Felix shrugged, making Declan growl and pull Luke off the floor and into his lap, while giving Felix a fierce glare. Felix laughed sending Luke a wink who seemed to think that continuing the conversation was a good idea.

"I probably would've liked it, he's well built." He shrugged while licking his lips. "Maybe Ollie could join us too."

"Over my dead body." Haze scoffed, making Ollie blush and hide his face in his neck. I looked over at Declan who wore a dark expression that could possibly beat Levi's. His grip on Luke tightened causing the said boy to shift around a bit attempting to make his grip loosen.

"I was only kidding I promise." He whispered, giving Declan a quick kiss, "You're it for me ya dork." Declan's lips twitched a bit at his words making Luke grin and begin to pepper kisses along his face until Declan had a grin on his face. 

"Hey Eren." I turned to see a grinning Armin with Bertholdt towering over him like always. I sent him a small wave, which was hard to do because of the pink cuffs locked around my wrists. "Master Levi, I was wondering if Eren and I could hang out today." He asked timidly.

"Would you like to go, Eren?" He asked looking down at me, I nodded quickly eager to hang out with Armin again. Levi nodded, turning to Armin, "Take him upstairs to change before you go." 

I watched silently as he uncuffed me before stuffing them in his pocket. I quickly gave him a kiss on his cheek before following Armin up the stairs with a happy giggle. 

Levi's POV:

I watched as the two boys ran off, a sick feeling settling in my stomach. Something deep inside me was screaming at me to not let him go but I brushed it off as me being too possessive of Eren. We had quickly gotten closer in many ways over the past few days, causing a part of me to become attached to the beautiful boy. 

I couldn't keep him chained beside me 24/7, he deserved to have friends and have fun with them. It would be wrong and selfish of me to hold him back. I sighed forcing the feeling to the back of my mind and focusing on the dumbfucks I happened to call my best friends. 

Declan still hadn't let his sub go after the suggestion of an orgy came up and Haze was groping Ollie under the table as if no one knew or could figure out what he was doing. I shook my head, sending Haze an annoyed look only to receive a smug grin instead. 

"You're just jealous that your boy ran off." He laughed, I would've  responded if that sick feeling hadn't returned full force at the mention of Eren. Out of the corner of my eye I watched the two boys run out of the club holding hands and giggling. I couldn't even smile at Eren's cuteness.

Something was off.

"Where did you say they were going again?" I questioned turning to Bertholdt who also looked a bit uneasy.

Chapter Text

~

I giggled as Armin dragged me down the street to a store "we just had to go to". He smiled brightly, excitement clear on his face as we rounded a corner getting closer to his favorite store.

It was apparently the only store he was allowed at without Bertholdt there with him. Armin said he liked to make sure Armin didn't buy toys without him or too many sweets because he would have insane sugar rushes and then crash. I didn't really know what a sugar rush was but I just nodded as if I did. 

"I'm so excited!" He giggled as we slowed. 'You're gonna love this store! They have so many cute outfits and accessories! It is my absolute favorite!" He rambled yet again. 

We rounded another corner, Armin claiming it to be a shortcut that he always uses with Bertholdt and his friends. I stopped in my tracks quickly once I spotted a group of men that looked a lot like the type of friends Grisha would bring home. Armin also came to a stop, a flash of fear going through his eyes.

"May-be we sh-should t-turn ar-ou-ound." I whispered fear pumping through my veins making my words come out choppy and shaky. He nodded ready to turn around, but the men had already spotted us and quickly made their way over cornering us into the wall.

There were four of them and they were each twice our size and reeked of alcohol. I scrunched my nose up, not used to the old smell that I had lived with for years.

'What are you two boys doing over here in our alley?" One slurred looking us up and down with a glare.
His friends nodded in agreement while I stood, wondering why  someone would claim an alley.

"We're just passing through Sir." Armin replied, smoothly covering the waiver I knew wanted to break free. The man only snorted, looking us up and down again.

"Why the fuck are you two dressed up like girls?" He snorted, making the other three men laugh and begin to pull at our clothes while throwing insults. Fear, far greater than my years with Grisha, washed over me making tears begin to form only fueling the men even more.

"God, I think they're fucking fags." One sneered shoving me into a wall while the others pushed Armin to the ground. I cried out as my back collided with the brick wall, my body no longer used to the pain.

"Get the fuck up you pathetic pieces of shit." They hissed at us, I stayed still knowing getting up makes it worse. The one who I assumed was the leader here grabbed my hair and began dragging me to the other side of the alley while I shrieked and flailed around. 

Nonono not again, please not again.

I cried out as a fist began to repeatedly collide against my face and stomach, the pain was for more worse than I remembered. Whether it was because they were stronger than Grisha or because I hadn't been hit like this in weeks...I'd never know.

I tried crawling away but his friend just picked me up and held me there giving more access and making his hits even harder. They spat out insults as I fell to the floor once again only for him to begin banging it against the ground. 

Levi please ...

Armin's POV:

My cries soon drowned out Eren's once the guy handed his friend a pipe and began using it to hit me instead of using his fists. A shriek left my lips as it came down on my leg with a "swoosh" causing a "crack ".

I tried to get up on my arms to see Eren, the last I saw, his arm was twisted in an unnatural way and he had blood gushing from multiple sources. 

I looked over to my left seeing Eren curled up against the wall of the alley trying and failing to fend off his attacker. I watched helplessly as his head collided with the ground as tears and blood streamed down his face. 

Just as I began to push myself up off the ground I heard the " whoosh"   of the pipe coming back down before pain erupted in my head and the world around me went black. 

~

"Armin....please....gotta...wake up...please..." I heard a voice like Bertholdt cry out as the haze surrounded my thoughts  began to clear. I slowly opened my eyes only for everything to be a blur. 

'I can't see." I whispered as I began to panic, I tried to look around but everything was just a mash of light and color. 

"What's wrong baby." I could hear Bertholdt speaking and feel his hands on my shoulders but I couldn't see him.

"I can't see!!" I cried

Levi's POV:

I had been too late...

Right when Berhtoldt gave me the location of the store I was out the door with him and the others hot on my trail.

"Take the shortcut Levi, Armin always takes that way." Bertholdt called from behind me. I gave a stiff nod, the feeling in my gut getting worse as we rounded the corner to the alley. 

My heart constricted and anger coursed throughout my body when I saw Eren lying helplessly on the ground unconscious while the men still kicked him. I quickly drew out my pistol shooting both men in their legs and watched as they fell to the ground with cries.

I ignored the screams of the public and fired two more rounds into the men who were standing over a dead looking Armin. Before I could make my next move my men had already grabbed the attackers and held them to the ground.

They could fucking wait.

I quickly moved over to Eren pulling his head into my lap as I checked for all his injuries. His arm was obviously broken, the jutted out bone was something I had seen often but for the first time seeing it made me want to throw up. 

"Sir?" Reiner asked, casting a glance to Bertholdt, I could see the desperation to help his best friend and the boy who stole his heart in his eyes, but knew he had to wait for my orders.

"Tell Sasha and the girls to bring the medics and have the staff at the hospital ready," I informed looking back down at Eren as he began to groan. "Go help Bertholdt after." 

He nodded quickly shouting orders but they were deaf to my ears as I looked down at Eren helplessly. A feeling I hadn't felt since the day my mother died and I was stuck raising my sisters along with learning the ropes of how to run my uncles gang. 

I hated being helpless especially now, when Eren needed me the most. He groaned in pain once again and I softly silenced him and ran my fingers gently through his blood coated hair.

"It's gonna be alright Eren," I whispered as softly as I could so that I wouldn't break down in tears. I had failed to protect him. "Everything's gonna be okay, I promise, I'm here now Eren."

He visibly relaxed and that healed yet broke my heart all at once. He trusted me enough to watch after him while he was lying defenseless, even after I failed him. 

The girls were quick and within minutes we had the boys loaded and on the way to the hospital. They got in quickly once I pulled out my pistol and reminded them of who I was and the gang I lead. 

My uncle had made us known as "The French Mafia" even though only half of our gang was French. It didn't really stick though, the people and other gangs had their own names made up for us. Most associated us with hell, me being Satan himself, while my main men and women were either known as the seven sins. One name that the public and most leaders preferred was "The knights of hell". I didn't really give a shit as long as they knew to respect me. 

I sighed getting out of my thoughts and leaned back into the wall watching the clock. Minutes slowly passed until they turned into hours while I sat and waited for the news. I had always been patient, but that virtue seemed non-existent when Eren's well being came into play. 

I looked over at Bertholdt, pity flashing through me as I saw how awful he looked. I couldn't blame him, I knew Eren was at least alive while Bertholdt only knew that Armin had a weak pulse the last he'd seen him. A pipe to the head wasn't something people came out of okay. 

"He's going to be alright." I whispered softly still staring at the clock, I didn't have to turn to know he had looked over at me.

"How do you know?" He rasped his voice rough from trying not to cry.

"For one, he's a strong boy, and I know he's not going to give up that easy," I began as I finally turned my body towards him. "And two, I will personally kill every single doctor and nurse in this building if he isn't alright."

Bertholdt relaxed slightly, a forced smile making its way onto his face while the nearby staff visibly tensed and a nurse scurried off, most likely to tell the men in charge of the boys their fate if they failed.

"E-excuse m-me S-sir?" A frail voice called out, I turned my head spotting a small nurse who was visibly shaking where she stood. She paled even further when my gaze landed on her. "Th-the boys a-are both in s-same rooms, the d-d-d-octor is in there waiting fo-r you." 

Bertholdt and I stood, the rest of my men getting up as well. The woman  visibly tensed at the amount of criminals but led us to the room without a word non the less. 

"He-here we are." She whispered, opening the door as allowing us in. 

'You boys stay out here and keep the nurse company until the girls come." Bertholdt shot me an annoyed look as tears began to stream down the woman's face, but I only shrugged. Her stuttering annoyed me, it was only cute on Eren , and I never claimed to be a nice person. Unless I was with Eren.

I guess the doctor could see I wasn't in the mood for greetings, because as soon as we walked in he began to explain the problems the boys had.

"This boy," The doctor began pointing to Eren, tensing a bit when Bertholdt walked over to Armin's bed. "Has what we call a Nightstick fracture, now don't worry it's very common."

I nodded slightly wanting him to be relaxed so he could explain Eren's injury's without a stutter or having fear fuck with his intelligence. "I'm sorry Doc," I chuckled slightly, throwing him off. "I don't know these doctor terms, please elaborate."

"Of course! You see this injury occurs when we use our forearm to protect our face, this here boy seemed to do that during the assault." I watched him silently as he began pointing to Erens X-rays. "It causes the ulna bone to break, however the way the bone broke caused it to break the radius."

"Is that bad?" I asked as I sat at Eren's bed running my hands through his hair. Confusion crossed the doctor's face at my display of affection but he quickly shook it off and answered my question.

"No, he did require surgery and just to be safe we did a full cast instead of a short arm one." I sighed softly, relaxing , happy that Eren was going to be okay. "He will need to take it easy though, no using the arm and he will need lots of rest due to his concussion."

I'm going to torture those men until they're begging Satan to take their souls.

"I'll prescribe some meds and have a nurse pick them up for you, remember though lots of rest and ill give you a list of activity modifications you'll need to follow."

"Thank you Doc, and the other boy?" He sighed softly making his way over to where Armin lay and looked down a bit sadly. 

"He happened to break his tibia, known as the shin bone and weight bearing bone." He began now pointing to a few of Armin's many X-rays and scans. "Surgery, a cast, and physical therapy will fix that up. I would explain further but there is a more serious injury that I'm worried about."

He was about to speak again when Armin's frantic cries of not being able to see cut him off. 

"Cerebral contusion....cortical blindness." He sighed softly making his way over to Armin.

~

Once he had calmed the boy down he began to explain to the three of us what his injury was and the severity of it was.

"It's known as a brain bruise, meaning there is a degree of bleeding into and swelling of the brain tissues. His happens to be in the area of the brain that controls vision. Which is partially good, partially bad."

"How is that partially good!?" Berhtoldt seethed from where he lied holding Armin, the doctor gulped slightly and I almost felt bad for him. Almost.

"It's partially good because it could've been more fatal or more serious. Luckily that wasn't the case."

"How long will this last?" Armin asked out weakly leaning into Bertholdt, I looked back down at Eren and smiled softly at the tight grip he had on my hand. I attempted to pull it back so I could help the doctor with Armin but Eren whined out and pulled it tighter against his chest.

"Like I said, your very lucky, it wasn't severe enough to cause permanent blindness." Armin and Bertholdt both smiled slightly at that. "However you'll need to wait until the bleeding stops and the swelling resolves. It could take a few hours or many weeks."

'Side effects?" Bertholdt asked.

"He could possibly suffer from headaches, dizziness, poor balance and a few other symptoms ranging from days to forever, but he could also go back to complete normalcy. All of this is possible." He smiled softly. "Just keep your hopes up and all will be well."

He stayed for a little while longer answering our questions and planning treatments before he left to get prescriptions. Maybe I should send him some cash for a vacation? From the information my men gave me on the guy (hours ago) he had a daughter. Maybe I could buy her a puppy?

"L-levi?" I quickly turned to Eren relief sweeping through my system when I caught him smiling at me. "I'm hungry."

Levi's Pov:

"Of course you are." I smiled softly, I should've been annoyed, he just woke up from nearly being beaten into a coma and he's worried about food. But he was smiling and looked so innocent that I couldn't find it within myself to be annoyed. "I'll call Hanji and have her bring some food up."

I pulled out my phone and dialed Hanjis's number, she was no doubt on her way up here along with the others. I looked over to Bertholdt and Armin as I listened to the dull sound of the dial. Bertholdt was now moved onto his bed and held him close while Armin just stared off blankly. 

I hated to feel pity for the both of them, and I knew they would hate it also, but I couldn't help myself. Blocking off emotions for people I care about had always been hard for me to do. My uncle hated that about me and attempted to train me out of it, but nothing ever worked. 

I cared for people. 

"Hya Levi!" Hanji screeched, making me wince and pull the phone away from my ear briefly. 

"Quiet down four eyes." I hissed through the phone. "I need you to get food for the boys."

"Way Ahead of ya!" She chirped in a slightly quieter tone. "Felix, Misty, Marco, and I all got a bunch of pizza, chicken, soups, sandwiches, Oh! And ice creams. We weren't sure what they could eat and also assumed everyone up there was hungry so we bought enough for everyone."

"With who's money." I sighed pinching my nose while standing and walking out of the room. Eren wouldn't want to hear this if it came out of my account. I was surprised to see the nurse still out there curled up against one of the walls while my men were busy joking around with one another. They quickly silenced when I walked out and with a flick of my wrist they all moved out of my way.

"Don't worry, Haze, Declan, Erwin,  and Jean all helped pay for it." I wasn't even going to ask how much she actually spent. Wasn't my money, wasn't my problem. "We'll be there in a bit, I gotta go now. Don't wanna crash!" She cackled before hanging up.

God that woman was annoying, I looked over to the wall where the nurse sat and sighed.

"Let her leave." Her head snapped up quickly and she looked at me uncertainty. "My boy wouldn't be pleased if he heard about this so scram, brat."

I watched as she took off, hesitation gone, and I walked back into the room. 

"Is she ge-etting fo-od." Eren called out from where he lied curled up on the bed. I smiled softly and climbed into the bed laying behind and pulling him close.

"I'm pretty sure she's bringing a feast for a king." I chuckled nuzzling my way into his hair. It was getting too long and I was in desperate need of a haircut. I'd worry about that later though. 

''I am a king." He giggled trying to turn around to face me, but I kept him in place not wanting him to hurt his arm even further. 

"No you're not." I scoffed and kissed his cheek. "I'm the king. You're my Queen." 

"Awe, why can't we be like that?" I turned over to see Declan whining to Luke as the others brought in food.

"Because you're a peasant." He scoffed, grabbing a drink and walking away from Declan. I couldn't help the snort that escaped me, but Haze had no shame in falling to the ground in laughter. Declan only flicked the both of us off and walked over to where Luke stood with his brothers.

"Is there a certain diet they have to follow?" Hanji asked softly. 

"I don't think so, but let's have them both eat soup for now." She nodded walking off to the food table and began to make them both bowls. I sighed and got out of the bed making Eren pout and try to grab at me with his free arm.

"You need to sit up to eat Eren." I said while dodging his attempts and raising up his bed. Once he was in the right position I grabbed his food tray and put it over his lap and did the same for Armin so Bertholdt didn't have to leave him. He seemed to be calmer when he felt or heard Bertholdt near him and I didn't want him having another panic attack.

Just as I began making my way back to Eren's bed, Sasha pulled me out of room with a phone in hand.

"You have umm...some meetings you need to attend Sir." She whispered carefully of the words she used. "Your clients said they can't wait for a meeting much longer. They have urgent matters that they need to discuss with you."

"Can't you explain to them that I'm a little busy." I sighed, irritated. What could possibly be so important that they had to call one of my closest people.

"I did but your clients  said they had a mole problem going around their neighborhood and that the exterminators are closing in on a few homes." She coughed eyeing the doctors who were walking by and handed me the phone. "He's on hold for now and there's a car waiting for you outside."

"Don't worry Levi, we'll take care of Eren." I didn't doubt it, but I didn't want to leave with Eren in his current state. But I had a job to do, and not attending to it could cause alot of damage.

I groaned in annoyance, grabbing the phone before making my way out of the hospital and to the car that was parked outside.

Erens POV:

I watched silently as Sasha walked back in and frowned when I didn't see Levi come in behind her. Where did he go?  

"Don't worry Eren, Levi just had a meeting he had to attend." She spoke with a soft smile once she caught my gaze. I sighed softly and shifted in my bed a bit, wincing when pain shot through my arm. It was weird having a cast, I'm sure Grisha had broken a bone at some point but I had never had a cast. It was heavy, annoying, and I couldn't even scratch my arm. 

My head also hurt, it was weird feeling pain like this after going without it for so long. I didn't like it at all.

"Eren, Hun? You ready to eat?" Hanji asked while bringing over a bowl of what I assumed was soup. I nodded, the ache in my head reminding me not to talk unless I wanted it to be worse. 

She smiled softly and set the food on the tray that Levi had left before he walked out. I looked into the bowl and grimaced at the orange liquid that sloshed around inside. I looked up from it when Hanji laughed and ruffled my hair, sending another painful pulse through my head.

"I can put some noodles in it to make it look more appetizing. But I promise you its really good." I nodded silently and didn't bother to watch her skip off to get the noodles. I closed my eyes and leaned back, the pulsing in my head getting worse. 

"Here you go Eren, eat a bit and I'll get the doctor for some pain meds." I opened my eyes just as Hanji poured the last of the noodles into the bowl, it did look a lot more ..."appetising"? ...I wanted to eat it now.

I gave a small "thank you" wincing at the pulse that came directly after. Glancing back down at the soup, I realized that Levi wasn't here to feed me. I didn't want to look stupid since I forgot how to use spoons and forks, and I also didn't want to spill the food onto me. Plus I really liked when Levi fed me.

"Are you okay Eren?" Misty asked, looking down at the soup and then back to me. "Would you like something else?"

"Levi." I said trying to ignore the pain in my head. She looked a bit confused before she too realized Levi was gone.

"He's not here Eren and you need to eat." She spoke. "Someone else could feed you until Levi gets back."

"Levi." I said again with a firm shake of my head. The pulse was much harder this time and more followed right after it, the intensity made my eyesight fuzzy for a moment.

"Uh...I don't, I don't know where Levi is, Eren." She sighed, chewing on her nails and looking around the room. A habit, she told me she did it when she was nervous. She also did it when she lied. "I could ask someone to call him?" 

"Yes." She smiled, pulling her thumb away from her mouth and skipped off, shouting that she needed to find Hanji. When she was told that she had gone for the doctor, Misty sprinted out the door only to collide into Hanji herself. I watched as they both fell to the ground, Misty landing on top of Hanji in a very odd position.

"If you wanted a hug, you should've just asked sweetheart." Hanji laughed as Misty's cheeks flushed pink. 

"U-uh...I don't... I mean I do, but that's not- Eren won't eat unless Levi is here!" She stuttered while getting up and helping Hanji get up as well. 

"Eren Hun, you gotta eat." She tsked while walking over to my bed, with Misty behind her explaining what had happened. 

"Levi." I whispered frowning, I wanted Levi and I wasn't eating until he got back.

"Levi has fed Eren from day one." Armin muttered from where he lay on Bertholdt's chest, I looked over at him with a grin. He hadn't spoken at all since I woke up. "He won't eat unless Levi feeds him, you should all know that by now."

"Oh alright, um I guess I'll call him..." Hanji said while pulling out her phone and dialing Levi's number. We all waited while it rang, and thankfully he didn't take too long to answer. "Hey Levi, um yea he's okay...he just won't eat unless- Misty tried but he just kept saying Levi I guess...uh...okay."

She clicked a button and set the phone on the tray and I grinned widely when I heard Levi's voice.

"Why aren't you eating, Cupcake?" He spoke into the phone making me pout. He's the one who left me here all alone.

"Because." I huffed.

"Because, why?" He sighed, I already knew he was either running a hand threw his hair or pinching his nose, and the image made me smile.

"You're not here." I said, making him chuckle slightly. 

"Baby you need to eat. So eat or let them feed you." "Baby." gave me butterflies but the rest of the sentence made me pout. He didn't want to feed me.

"No." I said firmly, making those around us tense. Well all except Declan, Haze, and Felix who were giggling and giving me thumbs up.

'Excuse me?" He asked his tone, taking a dark turn,  sending chills down my spine.

"N-no." I said, my confidence and voice wavering a bit. My stomach dropped when he let out a dark laugh and began to speak.

"Alright baby, I'll turn around and come back." He requested to be put off speaker and Hanji handed me the phone with confusion written all over her face, just like everyone else. He didn't sound ma- "Don't think you won't be punished for this baby boy, you don't get an attitude with Daddy and go unpunished." I gasped lightly, a whine begging to escape my throat.

"You wanted to learn about all this Eren? Well here's lesson one..." My stomach clenched at his tone and a blush began making its way down my neck.

"Don't say no to Daddy."

Levis POV:

I sighed softly, dialing the number of the 'client" that Sasha sent me after I had gotten off the phone with Eren. Speaking of the boy, I didn't really know what I was going to do with him. He had a broken arm and a concussion so I couldn't do too much with him. No mater what, I would end up hurting him and I didn't want that. 

"Mr. Ackerman! I didn't think you'd call, aren't you on your way here for our meeting?" I couldn't help but roll my eyes at "Mr. Ackerman.". That's what they had called my Uncle, and I didn't exactly like him. So..."inheriting" his name wasn't all that thrilling to me.

"Yea, sorry about this Mr. Vera, but something came up and we'll either have to reschedule, or you'll have to meet somewhere else." I had no problem meeting him another time, my gang wasn't in any danger. I had ties everywhere. 

"Umm, where exactly?" He asked with an uneasy voice, for some reason it was annoying me.

"Maria Hospital, floor 6, room 303." I wasn't worried about him trying to pull anything, I had my men all over the hospital and more than ten people in Eren's room. Plus I had been dealing with him for years, he wasn't going to try to pull anything.

"May I ask why the hospital?" 

"No, I'll be there in five so be there in ten." I ordered watching the hospital quickly come into view. I probably shouldn't have let Sasha use the getaway driver as my own personal driver. Before the man could respond I hung up my phone and stuffed it into my pocket. 

~~

I leaned against the doorway of Eren and Armin room, silently watching him as he threw what most would call a tantrum. His arms were firmly folded across his chest, well as best as he could get them with the cast, and his bottom lip was  jutted out in pout. Obviously begging me to bite it.  I quickly shook away the dirty thoughts and continued to watch in mild amusement as Hanji and her Sub approached him. 

"Eren eat." Misty whined, desperation clear on her face. Eren didn't seem to care and turned the other way making me let out a quiet snort. He was such a child. 

"Eren, hun, please eat. Don't you want Levi to come back and see that you ate?" Hanji asked, trying to sound cheerful. Her and her Sub both sighed when Eren just shooed away the food.

"I. Want. Levi." He huffed cutely causing his cheeks to puff out. He was acting spoiled, and we were all the ones to blame. I however didn't give a fuck. He was mine to spoil and he deserved to be spoiled after the awful shit he went through. I'd give him the world if I could.

"How about-" Hanji began but was cut off by a glaring Eren. 

"No. Levi." I couldn't help the twitch of my lips at his persistence to get me. He was way to fucking adorable for a seventeen year old. I decided to give into his wishes, like always, and slowly walked in, making sure to keep quiet enough so that Armin wouldn't wake up. The poor boy needed the rest.

No one seemed to notice my presence, besides Hanji and Misty who were standing to the side of Eren. His back was now to me since he had turned away from them yet again, much to my advantage. I slowly climbed into the bed and before he had the time to turn I pulled him to my chest in a half hug.

"Hey Cupcake." I whispered into his ear making him gasp and giggle. I allowed him to twist around in my lap so that we were chest to chest with his arms and legs wrapped around me tightly. I looked down to see him already grinning up at me with a goofy smile, happiness shining in his eyes.

"Levi!" He squealed, nuzzling into my chest, making me chuckle.  I looked up when I heard a cough and saw Sasha looking at me worriedly. 

"What happened with the meeting Sir?" She asked cautiously. "Did everything go alright?"

"Haven't had it yet, he's on his way here now." I spoke in a bored tone, I really hated all this business shit, even more so now since it always seemed to be in the way of Eren and I. "I'd like some of you to clear out all the staff and make sure I have enough men in case the bastard tries to pull anything."

I sent a quick glance to the clock checking the time before speaking again. "He'll be here in less than five minutes, so get to it." I didn't watch to see who did what, I didn't really care as long as it got done before the man got here. "I'd like everyone but Declan and Haze in the halls, make sure no one else but Mr. Vera enters." 

A chorus of "Yes sir."  rang out, I could hear the rush of their footsteps but I kept my eyes on Eren who had yet to pull himself out of his hiding place. He also had not eaten and I'd be damned if my boy ever went hungry. I shifted in a more comfortable position on the bed with Eren still in my lap and grabbed the bowl off the tray that Hanji had left.

I made Eren sit back and began to feed him, briefly pausing when there was a quick knock at the door. Declan opened the door revealing Mr. Vera standing there looking a little annoyed.

"Mr. Ackerman," He began. Two words in and I was already annoyed with his presence. "Thank you for meeting with me, but I think the army of men was a little bit unnecessary."

I only gave him a shrug and continued to feed Eren who was beginning to look uncomfortable. Irritation with the man began to make its way into my system and I was certain everyone was beginning to feel the tension. Even Armin stirred a bit in his sleep.

"Have a seat Mr. Vera." I sighed, deciding to just get this over with. I watched silently as Declan pulled out a chair, keeping it a safe distance from Eren's bed. We could've been home in my bed by now if the doctor didn't decide to take his sweet ass time with everything.

"So what seems to be the problem?" I already heard a bit from Sasha, but she was being paranoid and spoke in her "code" so I didn't bother to remember it. 

"It seems we have a rat Mr. Ackerman." The man sighed, pulling off his hat and running his hand through his thinning grey hair. He was one of my oldest alliances, I was surprised he hadn't kicked the bucket yet. "A few small gangs have already been taken down, which isn't a problem but the police are slowly making their way up. One of our suppliers is already down." 

I gritted my teeth in irritation. It was bound to happen, and although my gang wasn't in any threat, the cost of losing suppliers would quickly take me down. And I wasn't going to let it happen.

"Does anyone have any leads?" I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"No Sir," The man sighed clearly in more distress than I. His gang was probably next, they weren't exactly big or strong, but they had ties men would kill for.  "We were hoping you had something. I talked to the Sina gang and they suspect it's a higher gang trying to wipe the rest of us out."

"Why would they want to do that? They'd need other gangs for supplies and profits." Haze chimed in with a puzzled look on his face. It didn't make sense at all, sure there's always a top of the food chain, but you couldn't exactly be at the top if there was no chain. 

"That's what's throwing all of us off." The man groaned, running his hand through his hair yet again. A stressful habit I suppose. "Could they be trying to start a new hierarchy? Be the only gang and take over?"

"If they were trying to start a new hierarchy we'd hear about people being recruited or leaving their gangs to join." I said, rolling my eyes. "And the latter doesn't make sense either, even if you had a few dirty higher ups, there would still be way too many people to stop that from happening. It sounds more of a revenge thing, but they're taking out more gangs than they intended to."

"So what do we do?" He asked, looking a bit hopeless, one thing you could never be in this line of work.

"We need to schedule a meeting, with only a select few knowing about it. We'll have to find out who this is and ki-" I coughed cutting myself off and  looking down at Eren who paused eating to hear what I was going to say. "Stop him. Obviously."

Mr. Vera sent me a questioning look and glanced at Eren before shaking his head and leaning back to grab his phone out of his pocket. 

"I'll make some calls, get the ball rolling, we need to end this fast." I nodded and watched him walk to the window waiting for whoever he had called to pick up.

"Levi." Eren sighed leaning into me and mumbled sleepily . "M'tired." 

I smiled softly, setting the bowl aside and lied down pulling him with me until we were both comfortable. I watched as his eyes began to flutter and kissed his head softly as they finally shut. The doctor said he would be sleeping a lot, it was his brain trying to recover from the trauma. We just had to keep an eye on him before we let him sleep, if something was off, we shouldn't let him sleep.

Eren's POV:

I woke up due to a dull pounding in my head and slowly sat up looking at my surroundings. The room was empty, the table full of food had been cleared and the bucket of drinks were gone. I turned to my right seeing Armin's bed was empty, no trace of him or Berthodlt ever being there. Even the man who was here before I fell asleep was no where to be seen...

Panic flooded my system, Levi left me.

I felt another dull ache, only this time it was in my chest.  

Levi left me.  

Suddenly it was hard to breathe.

He left me...

Tears clouded my vision and my breathing became erratic as anxiety took over my mind and body. Thoughts of ending up back in a box stowed away in a dark alley or worse, back in the cupboard, flashed before my eyes.  

Levi left me.

I could faintly hear sounds of fast beeping and a distant frantic voice but I was lost in the panic of being left alone again. Blurs of color danced before my eyes but I couldn't focus on anything but my thoughts. He hates me. He left me. He doesn't love me. He left me. He left me. 

I was suddenly back in the cupboard in Grisha's home clawing at the wood, in a poor attempt to escape. My throat was on fire due to my constant screaming and pleading to be let out. It was too dark here. I couldn't breathe in here. I wanted out.

I ignored the pain of the wood breaking my nails and lodging into the skin underneath them. I wanted out. I could feel the warm blood trickle down my fingers to my palms, but it didn't stop me from trying to claw my way out of the hell I was locked in.

"Eren!" 

I could hear Grisha growling at me from outside of the cabinet, threatening to leave me in here all night if I didn't stop, I would rather take a beating than be locked in here a second longer.

It felt   like the walls were slowly closing in on me, getting ready to consume me and take my life. I was beginning to actually want that.

"Eren! Wake...Please!"

Grisha didn't sound like that...Levi did...

The darkness began to disappear and the yelling and beeping suddenly became clearer and I fought my way out of the fog.

"Come on Cupcake...wake up." I could hear Levi's voice, coaxing me out of the haze slowly but surely. He didn't leave me. "That's it baby, come back to me."

The beeping began to slow as my breath came back and the panic left my system. Levi was here. I was okay.

I slowly opened my eyes, the light causing them to flutter shut briefly before they reopened once again taking in my actual surroundings. Everything was there: The food, the drinks, the gang, Armin, and even the man who had followed Levi here for the meeting.

Levi was here.

Ignoring everyone else, I sighed softly leaning into his chest letting his warmth cover me like a blanket. I felt his arms wrap around me and pull me further into his chest with a content sigh of his own. 

"You're okay." He whispered while nuzzling his way into my hair. I felt him kiss the back of my ear as he began to whisper sweet nothings into, along with promises he vowed to keep.

"I th-thought you left me." I whispered softly images of my dream flashing through my mind. I wish I could forget it all.

"It was only a dream Eren, " It was more of a nightmare "I'll never leave you. I promise. You're stuck with me until the day we die."

"But what if I want you even after we're dead?" I asked with a huff. I wanted Levi forever.

"You're stuck with me in the afterlife too, cupcake." He replied with a soft laugh making me smile.

"Promise?' I asked, looking up at him.

"Promise."

~

I sighed softly curling further into Levi's side while we both watched his men pack up the room. Slowly, the room began to look like it had in my nightmare, empty and lonely. I pushed the memories away and looked over to see Armin awake and looking distressed. I wiggled around in Levi's hold making him grunt and release me. I ignored his annoyed look and made my way over to Armin's bed, crawling up onto it with a giggle.

"Eren?" Armin asked while reaching out to me, I smiled and waited as his hands slowly entangled with my hair before sliding down my face, taking in the details. "Definitely Eren."

"Hello!" I cheered, pulling myself into his lap with a small smile, I didn't really know why I liked being held. I guess it made me feel comfortable and safe, well depending on who it was. Armin made me feel like I was wrapped in my mothers blanket.

"Oi!" Levi grunted loudly causing me to jump and look over to him only to see him glaring over at us. "Get off of his lap right now."

Armin laughed while I slowly climbed off of his lap with a pout, Levi never let me sit with other people. I huffed and turned away when Levi tried to talk to me again, I knew I shouldn't have but he was being a butthead.

"What did you just do?" Armin cautiously asked, making my irritation grow. Was I really that predictable?

"Something he shouldn't have done." Levi said while roughly pulling me to him making me let out a small gasp. I tried wiggling out of his hold, but he only pulled me off of the bed and gently put me over his shoulder. "Luckily we're going home today. No crowd to save you from punishment."

"Ew." Armin gagged, staring blankly in our general direction. "Get away from me if your gonna talk like that, and send Bertholdt back in here. I miss him."

"Will do." Levi said before making the way to the door, with me still on his shoulders. I went limp, swaying slightly and watching the tiled floor pass in a blur. We stopped for a brief second, but the suddenness of it made me slam right into Levi's butt face first, making me gasp and blush. 

'"S-sorry." I stuttered, using my hands to keep me a safe distance away. Levi only laughed, a sound that still managed to make butterflies dance in my stomach.

"It's alright Cupcake." He hummed and continued talking to Bertholdt and whoever else was in front of us. "Armin asked for you, so forget what you were doing and go spend time with him. Doctor said he can go home soon. And Jean, I'm going to need you, Marco, and some others to go to my house and pick up some things."

Levi shifted me on his shoulder making me grunt, and I could feel him digging in his pockets before he began to speak again.

"Here's what I need, bring it back to the club. Eren and I will be staying there for a while." I tuned out the rest of their conversation, not really caring about it. I was too focused, well more worried, on what my punishment was going to be when we got back to the club.

Maybe he'll forget by the time we get back...

"Ready to go home Cupcake?" Levi asked, making me gasp lightly at the word. He used it often when talking to me, but the word really seemed unreal. Home...

It's something I've never had before, I never considered Grishas home my own, and he probably would have beat me if I tried. I also couldn't really remember my mothers home, I often tried to. I could remember faint smells: Flowers, pastries, and oddly watermelon. Her blanket also smelt like fruit, but I couldn't remember why. 

I could also remember a few details of the home. The warm light blue walls, and the soft white carpets she had in almost every room, I think every room was decorated with the two colors. My old room had been decorated with dragons, I remember I had watched a cartoon movie about them and fell in love. My mom had quickly decorated my room with all the dragons from the movie and she had gotten me a doll of the black dragon. 

I was also left with a very limited amount of images of her boyfriend. He was tall, and had brown hair but what was odd were his bright blue eyes. They looked like crystals. He was also very kind and sometimes I could remember his laugh. Why didn't he ever come get me...

"You okay Eren?" Levi asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. I nodded slightly surprised to see that I was buckled into the seat of his car. When the heck did we get here? "I gave Petra the night off, so we'll have to cook for ourselves tonight." 

I nodded again leaning my head against the window, trying to picture my mothers face.

Light brown eyes...Kind smile...Flowing brown hair...

Before I could grasp her image, it slipped away. Even as I looked at her picture every day, her image was continuing to leave my mind. I felt a hot tear slip down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away so that Levi wasn't able to see.

I missed her so much.

I looked out the window, watching as the world flew past me in a blur. It was oddly weird watching other people live their lives. Walking past each other, not knowing their story, and no one knowing theirs. I guess you could be anyone you wanted to be when your in front of strangers. 

It was uncomfortable to think about. I sighed, casting a glance at Levi, was he a different person when he was around other people? I've seen him slightly angered and be cold towards people, but that was just Levi. At least I hoped it was, everyone is different depending on who's around right? I happened to be easy to read, but everyone else was different- well besides when they lied, I could always tell. But, I didn't know what they acted like when they weren't around me, Levi had always made them change. 

"You alright Cupcake?" He asked, glancing at me briefly before turning back to the road. I hadn't noticed it before, but Levi looked tired. His eyes were glossy and a bit red and he had dark circles under them. His voice was also scratchy and he talked barely above a whisper. He was so worried about me being okay that he barely took care of himself.

"Just tired." I lied, yawning for effect. He looked at me again so I quickly rubbed my eyes and forced another yawn out. "Can we go to bed when we get back?"

"Once you take a bath and your meds we can." He smiled softly. I sat, silently watching as we turned another corner before pulling into his personal parking space at the club. Only the club employees and a few others had a parking space. Others walked here or parked somewhere else. I fake yawned again, possibly over doing it, as Levi helped me out of the car, taking my hand before grabbing a bag and began walking inside. 

The club wasn't too busy tonight, and we thankfully made it up to his place without anyone bothering us. I was actually getting excited about taking a bath, I really liked the bubbles.

"Come on Cupcake." He called from the kitchen where he had placed his bag. I skipped over to him, briefly forgetting I was supposed to be tired, and took his hand following him to the bathroom. 

I gasped when Levi picked me up and set me on the counter and giggled when he quickly pecked my cheek before he turned the water on. I watched happily as he poured bubbles into the bath, suppressing a squeal when I saw them begin to take form.

"Arms up." I raised my arms, one going straight up and the other bending due to the cast. Levi quickly removed my shirt before pulling down my pants, my underwear going down with them. "You can't get the cast wet okay? So keep it out of the water or I'll have to put a bag on it."

I nodded wrapping my arms around his neck, gasping when I was pulled off the counter and set into the warm tub. I hummed using my left hand to awkwardly play with the bubbles, since my good hand couldn't touch the water due to the cast. 

"Levi?" I called out softly watching him grab some bottles and line them on the side of the tub. He raised a brow, not looking up while he rolled his sleeves. "Can we take a bath t-together?"

His movements faltered and his head snapped up quickly. "Pardon?"

"Can we take a bath together?" I giggled, reaching over so that I could attempt to pull him in. It didn't quite work out. He sat back taking a minute to think before nodding and pulling off his shirt. I blushed brightly when I saw his chest and abs, and I quickly turned away choosing to stare at the water instead of him.

I didn't look up until I felt him slide into the tub behind me. He sighed contently, pulling me back into him and resting his chin on my shoulder. I ignored him pressing against me, softly running my fingers through his hair.

"You're gonna make me fall asleep, Cupcake." He groaned, pulling my hand away from his hair. I pouted, but it quickly went away when he began to wash my hair gently.

~

I leaned back falling against the bed, making sure to bring Levi with me. I gasped into his persistent mouth, which resulted in his hot tongue sneaking in. The kiss was rough, the complete opposite of the gentle hands that were running up and down my bare sides. I sighed into the kiss when I felt his tongue exploring my mouth before playing with my own. His lips were warm like always, slightly swollen from my previous biting, but perfect nonetheless.

"Levi." I breathed out a whine when he pulled away. He ignored me, leaving wet hot kisses down the side of my jaw, before making his way down my throat. My breathing hitched when he reached the spot that made my toes curl and knees lock. I didn't even have to look at him to know that he was smirking. I could feel it against my skin.

The towel around my waist finally gave away and slid off of my hips, falling uselessly against the bed. Levi took quick notice of this and wrapped his hand around me making me cry out. I didn't have time to call his name, his wet lips were against mine yet again in an almost desperate way. 

I tried my best to keep up with the kiss while gliding my hand up past his shoulders before fisting my left hand into his hair. He groaned in response to my pulling, so I did it again and again receiving the same response each time. 

"Levi!" I desperately cried when he completely pulled away from me, leaving me cold and needy. He ignored me yet again, letting his eyes roam up and down my body before they shot back to my broken arm. I could see the guilt in his eyes, and I so desperately wanted to chase it away. It wasn't his fault. 

I leaned up, trailing kisses from his stomach to his collarbone. I shifted onto my knees once I got to his jaw and wrapped my arms around his neck, gasping softly when he roughly grabbed my waist. His heart was pounding against my own, sending another horde of heat throughout my body.

"Daddy." I whispered in his ear, I could feel him tense but it only encouraged me. "Please touch me."

Before I could blink, I was thrown back down onto the mattress with Levi's body blanketing over mine. The heat was making my head spin and my pulse pounded against my ears. His lips were on mine again and I whimpered into the kiss when I felt his hand wrap around the both of us.

"L-levi." I stuttered out weakly, feeling my stomach churn and burn in the most delicious way. "Levi p-please."

~ XD AUTHOR-CHAN SAYS NO ~ Maybe next time if your good ~

"Come on Cupcake, let's get you dressed." Levi smiled as he threw out the wipe. He still looked tired, but he looked happy so I was less worried. But I was now tired and worn out, which made me unhappy. I lay limp on the bed too tired to move and decided to just let Levi pick out my clothing and dress me.

I only moved to help him slide on the panties and shirt, but went limp again when he was done making him laugh. "I gotcha sweetheart." He smiled, pulling me up to the pillows before walking away to grab his own clothes. A small part of me wondered if I should remind him that we hadn't eaten dinner, but I decided against it, far too tired to wait for him to cook something.

I looked down at my shirt, seeing letters on it but I couldn't make out what they said. It almost seemed like they were in a random mess to me, but I knew they read something.

"Levi." I called, he walked back in the room now in a black tee and sweats to match. I could tell he had nothing underneath them though. 

"What does this say?" I asked, pointing to my shirt. He smirked a little before walking over to the bed.

"This," He began tracing over the letters slowly. "Says 'Daddys little boy toy'."

"And this." He smirked, flipping my blushing frame over. I squeaked when I felt him trace over a pattern on my butt. "Says 'Hit me'."

Maybe if I glared hard enough he'd disappear, then again I didn't want him to go. But the longer I sat, glaring at his laughing form, I wanted to hit him. He was making me mad, but his happiness and deep laughter made my stomach swirl.

"You're so cute." Levi cooed attempting to ruffle my hair but I quickly pushed his hand away, an angry pout etched onto my face. He was being a butt, he couldn't touch me. "Come on Cupcake, it was cute."

"Was not." I huffed shuffling further up the bed so that there was now a distance between the two of us. Levi frowned slightly looking at the gap, and grabbed my legs swiftly pulling me back to him making me squeal in surprise. 

"It was cute." He hummed, laying down and pulling me with him, I tried to fight the urge to cuddle but quickly lost. I love cuddles. "I'm sorry for laughing."

"You better be." I huffed, but it quickly turned into an awful fit of giggles when Levi pinned me down and began to tickle me. I squealed, attempting to wiggle away but it only made him smile and go from my sides to my feet. 

My squealing turned to begs of mercy and instead of wiggling, I started to thrash around as best I could. I desperately kicked and screeched, trying to break my feet free, but he held a tight grip on my ankles. Each trapped in one arm while his free hand worked on the torture.

"L-levi." I squealed and giggled. "I'm s-sorry, pl-please stop!" I was finally released and quickly curled into a ball, trying to catch my breath while keeping an eye on Levi's smirking face. He was such a mean butthead! 

I huffed again watching him crawl towards me with a smirk. I squirmed a bit, shuffling under the covers so he couldn't get to me. He easily pulled the covers off my face, looking down at me with a small smile. I smiled back, but then remembered that I was mad at him and quickly turned away. He made me wear these embarrassing clothes, then pose so he could get photos on his phone. Smirking the whole time, then laughing when I tried to crawl away from him. It only resulted in him pinning me to the bed and taking videos of me blushing. He only put the phone down after I told the camera I loved him.

I turned away from him, laying on my side. "M'tired, I'm going to sleep." I could hear him laugh softly before he pulled me into his chest. He hummed, nuzzling his way into my hair and I couldn't help but smile. Levi made me feel safe and loved.

I couldn't fight the yawn, or the urge to close my eyes, and all too soon I faded into the darkness.

~

I really hated this cast. I've had it on for almost an entire week and I already wanted to cut it off myself. It always itches and my arm was starting to ache from being forced into on angle for this long. I've tried to stick pens down the cast to scratch at it but Levi broke them all and threatened to spank me if I tried to do it again. He also had everyone watching me to make sure I didn't try anything when he wasn't around.

"Eren, please stop scratching at that." Marco huffed trying to pull my hand away from the cast. "Just because we won't tell Levi, doesn't mean we won't stop you ourselves."

I may have made my friends all promise not to tell Levi. Apparently puppy eyes and fake sobbing has the power to move people. Was I a bad person...Maybe.

"My dad would actually help me put a pencil down my cast." Armin giggled. ( This is actually true. My arm broke sorta like Eren's when I was little )

"That's so dangerous!" Marco gasped, looking at Armin with wide eyes. Armin only shrugged and turned back to his drink. I giggled softly, resting my arm on the counter listening to Marco as he washed the drinks while Misty made them. They were all trained to do each job: Serve, cook, and make drinks. Their job just depended on who wanted to do what that day.

I wanted to help them out, but Levi told me he didn't trust any of these men. So I couldn't work, or talk to anyone outside of who I've already met. I didn't really want to anyways, all these men looked scary and were too touchy with boys they had just met.

"So, Eren," Felix spoke as he slid into the seat beside me. "When did you start dressing like this?"

I looked down at my clothes in confusion, Hanji dressed me in another shirt Levi had bought along with another pair of shorts. Only this time no one bothered telling me what they said. Levi usually hid these in his personal drawer.

"Hanji dresses me." I shrugged, making Felix giggle. "Of course she did." He said, rolling his eyes. "She thinks we have no shame." 

"Well let's be honest," Marco chimed in as he passed his last glass to Petra. "None of us really do, at least when it comes to certain things." He sent a small glare to where Armin was sitting beside Annie; she had been put in charge to watch him while Bertholdt was busy.

"Not my fault you didn't knock first." He grumbled from where he sat, he hadn't really talked all that much since the accident. Marco only huffed and got back to cleaning while we just all sat in silence. I began to think about how everyone had been acting since the accident happened, Armin and I were always followed around and we were never allowed to be by ourselves.

"What's wrong babe?" I felt an arm cover my shoulder and I turned to my side to see that Felix had moved and taken the seat next to me. "Levi twist your thong? I'll kick his ass baby, don't worry." 

I couldn't help the giggle that escaped when he kissed my head, he was always being sweet and flirty, but directed it more at me since Erwin's been away. 

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked, turning in my seat so I could look at him better. Felix normally told me the truth, but he was also a very good liar. His finger always gave it away though, something no one but me has noticed yet. Whenever Felix lied his right pinky would compulsively tap against any surface it was against. I honestly didn't even think Felix realized he did this.

"What do you mean?" 

"Why is everyone acting weird?" I asked, looking up at him hesitantly. "Did I do something bad?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tap. Did liars ever realize they always gave their lie away? Everyone had this special tic when they lied. It was really the only useful thing Grisha ever taught me. He only taught me this so that I could help him cheat on poker or any game nights, he'd say I had a gift and he planned to use it.

"Your observant Eren, you notice things most people don't."  He was kneeled in front of me holding me by my shoulders. I wanted to be scared, but he was actually being civil with me. "You can notice people's ticks, even when that person themselves doesn't notice it."

"W-what's a t-tic?" I was still learning the no talking rule, but he thankfully let it slide.

"The one I'm talking about, is something someone does when ever they lie. It's an impulse you see, they'll get nervous, afraid someone will find out. So they tic. Others can't help it, whether it's physical or chemical. But everyone gives away their lies." He smirked and then spent the rest of  the day teaching me a trick I would use to help him steal his friends and strangers money.

I had learned it quickly, and even today I could tell when anyone was lying, at least if I'd known them long enough. One conversation would be enough, I didn't even have to be the one talking. Levi was a bit harder to read, but Felix was an open book right now.

"You're lying." I blankly stated. I could see some panic flare up in his eyes, it always happened when a liar got caught. His eyes quickly darted around the room, that was an obvious sign, something Felix usually had schooled. He was guilty . "Tell me the truth."

"Y-you might not wanna know Eren." He sighed looking directly at me. Truth. Sometimes I liked this 'gift'.

"Tell me." I insisted, if I know what they hate about me I can change it.

"You-uh, you freaked out badly that day at the hospital...Levi told the ones who weren't there that day that it was one of your worst panic attacks." I frowned, I didn't remember this, I remember having a nightmare but it wasn't that bad and I woke up. "He thinks something else might've been wrong, but everyone's just trying to make sure it doesn't happen again, Eren. You really worried everyone, no one hates you. They just care a little too much to see what they're actually doing."

"Well tell them to stop," I huffed. "I don't like it, and I wanna be able to be by myself again."

"Alright." He smiled softly while taking my hand and leading me up to Levi's room. "Alright, go get dressed and I'll take you to Levi and then I'll go talk to the others, it might be a little embarrassing for them if you're right there."

~~

I smiled happily, playing with the lace of my flower print skirt before tucking in the tank top and carefully putting on the grey sweater. I only needed my cast for about two more weeks, and I was dying to get off. I hated it, but Armin had it worse so I kept that fact to myself. He needed physical therapy, but it had to wait until all of his casts came off.

His sight still hasn't come back, but Felix said Bertholdt was doing a good job at keeping his mind off of it. Whatever that meant.

"Ready to go?" I nodded, taking Felix's hand and trailed behind him as he took me to Levi. It didn't take long since he had his "work place" in the same building as his club.

The whole room grew quiet, a few men looking uneasy, while others looked excited? I attempted to ignore their stares and made my way towards Levi, but I could feel all of their eyes on me. It made me uneasy. Levi quickly took notice and glared at the men before pulling me into his lap.

"What are you doing in here Cupcake?" He asked softly, tucking my hair behind my ear. I smiled nuzzling into his hand, before wrapping my arms around his neck and cuddling into his chest.

"I missed you." I sighed, smiling when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me even closer.

"Is this that infamous pup we've been hearing about?" A voice sounded out from the table. I couldn't help but send a little glare to the man, I didn't like him talking about me. Or talking to Levi, he was mine, and these men looked too dirty to be talking to him.

"He is." Levi mused while stroking my hair, with me here his pride seemed to skyrocket. Marco told me that Jean noticed that Levi would always become 'cocky' whenever I was around. I didn't really know what 'cocky' meant, but I did know what coc- 

"So the rumors are true then." The man stated, rolling his eyes while sending me a nasty look. Levi didn't take it very well, I could feel him tense up as well as the rest of his men in the room, even Connie looked angry. What was the rumor? Wait what was a rumor? 

'What rumor?" Levi growled our making the room and the people in it still and darken. Everyone's eyes casted down and no one spoke. " I asked a question ."

"Well, um." The same man who brought up the awful topic coughed a bit and his gaze began to shoot around the room. nervously. "Rumors about where you got him sir. We've been hearing that the boy uh...came from a...whore house."

The entire room grew silent and stiff, a cold atmosphere coming in, making me shiver. We all watched with horrified eyes as Levi pulled out a gun, setting it on his desk. I couldn't take my eyes off of it, I remember the first time I had ever seen one. Grisha and his friends were being drunk and stupid and decided to play around. Things between the drunks got ugly fast and within five minutes Grisha was holding his friend at gunpoint, the next second I had a dead body bleeding out at my feet.

"Mind telling me who started this little rumor?" He asked darkly, it was scary seeing him like this, but a twisted part of me loved seeing him like this. Was I going crazy?

"N-no c-clue." Tic. Lie. A weird part of me couldn't stop the smile that crept onto my face, I quickly hid it in Levi's neck though. It was sort of like a game to me, I loved being able to spot when people were lying, more so now since they had lied to Levi.

"He lied." I whispered in Levi's ear softly so that no one could hear me, not that they would do anything if they did. I pulled back just in time to see Levi send the man a dark look, one that sent chills down my spine. He slowly reached over, and cocked the gun before calmly setting the gun down again. 

"Want to try that again?"  He asked with a raised brow, making the guy tense. Everyone's eyes were on the gun, a few sent glances our way, but quickly looked back at the object that could end their life.

"It was a nobody really, a messenger of sorts, has been making up a lot of shit about different people." He stammered wiping away some sweat. "He's got some bad blood with Mr. Omera and some others, I shouldn't have listened."

Levi sent me a questioning look and I shook my head, no tics. I just didn't understand why he would listen to someone who was known to be a liar, smart people don't listen to liars. Or go around spreading the rumor themselves.

"So you know a messenger, who has "bad blood" with a higher up, like I said to look for , and none of you fucking morons thought that this could be the guy?"   Levi asked obviously irritated. "How the fuck do any of you run anything?"  Should I tell Levi that he was cursing an awful lot? He was mad so probably not.

Slightly embarrassed looks were shared, and I silently questioned if any of these men were actually business owners. Weren't they all supposed to be smart and cold like Levi? I guess that kept Levi at the top of the chain. 

"Name?" Levi sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. I could feel the stress rolling off of him in waves. Why did he do this if it caused him so much stress? Had to be a really good reason since Levi seemed to hate doing this.

I gave him a quick kiss before nuzzling my way into his neck and tuning out the rest of his meeting.

~

I woke up back in Levi's bed with only a pair of panties and one of Levi's shirts, I sat up looking around the room but it was empty. Instead of pouting I made my way to my own room, making sure to leave the door open incase Levi came back. Everything was the same, even my bag was there. My bear and blanket were back in Levi's room.

I sat down next to it and carefully pulled out my pictures of my mother, one was a photo with just her in it. She was smiling softly at the camera, in her normal sweater and skirt with her hair tied to the side like she always wore it. The other photos of the two of us, strangers took a few and her boyfriend took the others.

I set the pictures down, and pulled out the necklace that lay at the bottom of the bag. It was a simple old key connected to an old worn out black string. She had always worn it, saying it was passed down throughout our family. It was mine now...But for some reason I had never been able to put it on. If I put it on, it sorta sealed the deal that she was gone.

And I had never been ready for that, but I think I am now...

My hands were shaking as I brought it above my head and I held my breath as I slowly lowered it down. The breath left shakily as I felt the cold medal touch my bare skin, an oddly soothing feeling passed through me and I couldn't fight the small smile that appeared. It was almost as if a small piece of her was back. 

"Eren." Levi called softly from the doorway causing me to look up. He wore a soft smile and made his way into the room, sitting beside me. "What's that?"

"It was my moms." I whispered, toying with it a bit. 

"It's beautiful." He hummed and I nodded. So was she... "I know you just woke up Cupcake but it's sorta bed time." I nodded again and took his hand, the other holding my mothers necklace tightly.

I didn't let go once that entire night.

Chapter Text

~
The days passed in a blur, and I had finally gotten my cast off. Armin was in physical therapy with his sight slowly coming back and all of our bruises were finally healed. Everything was back to normal, the only difference was that Levi started my training and Hanji and Misty started tutoring lessons for me. My speech was better and I now knew most basic knowledge on both school and Levi's lifestyle.

Today we were trying something a little different. 

"Tell me when this starts to hurt okay Eren?" Levi asked as he slowly tightened the silk the bound my wrists to the head board. I nodded and we both slowly decided on the tightness. I exhaled a shaky breath, a new feeling washing over me at the feeling of being tied up at Levi's mercy.

"I gotta be honest with you, Cupcake." He hummed slowly, dragging his hand up my arms until he reached my wrist and started to trace the silk. "I've never actually done this to anyone."

A small gasp escaped me at his admission, I had always thought that Levi had been with tons of people. But everything we had done so far, had been a first for the both of us. That fact only brought in a whole other whirl of emotions for him.

"Don't act so surprised." He laughed breathlessly, his eyes never leaving my bound wrist. "I was always too busy for this sort've thing, and most people repulsed me or just wanted my money. But then I saw you..." A low groan left his lips before he continued to speak 

"So fucking cute and innocent. You looked so helpless and all I could think of was taking care of you." He swept down, giving me a quick kiss before continuing. "I wanted to do so many things to you baby."

His lips were on mine again and a small mewl left my lips. I tugged against the restraints, whining when they didn't give, my fingers clenched at the need to touch him but I knew I wasn't allowed to until he said so.  He only smirked against my lips before slipping his tongue into my mouth, not even asking for permission. But it wasn't like he needed it.

"And now I can." His sinful smirk sent sparks of pleasure and excitement down my spine. We agreed to take it slow but I could hear the promise in his words and smile. I watched impatiently as he pulled away, walking over to his drawer to grab a blind fold. Another kink of his. "Tell me when you get uncomfortable okay?"

I nodded my head, my voice had abandoned me long ago leaving me with only soft gasps or mewls. But it wasn't like I needed it, I liked learning all of these things with Levi, and so far I enjoyed everything we did. We both seemed to love me being bound, he liked the sight and we both loved the control it gave him to have me like this. 

Helpless and at his mercy.

 The blindfold only added to it all. The sudden blanket of darkness left me gasping and clenching against the binds in an attempt to comprehend all the sensations the situation brought. It was all foreign to me and experiencing it all at once wasn't helping me control the pleasure. 

"Calm down Cupcake." He breathed in my ear with a teasing tone only driving me even crazier. "We won't be doing any of that today, we're seeing what we're both comfortable with today. Remember?" An annoyed whine escaped my lips and I mentally cursed myself. Why had I agreed to that? 

I growled out when he began to laugh only to yelp when he harshly tapped my thigh. "None of that Cupcake. I don't take disrespect well." Part of me wanted to push him, but I wasn't able to run away in my current situation if I decided to back out. 

So I decided to play nice for the rest of the session. I was a little upset when it ended, even more so when we really didn't do anything further, but I guess that was all for another time. I could wait, maybe, and if not I could convince Levi to quit waiting with no problem. I finally learned just how much I had him wrapped around my finger. He was a sucker for puppy eyes and I used that any chance I could.

I was turning into Felix...

I shook away the disturbing thought and focused back on Levi who was changing while grabbing me a new outfit. I had to turn away from the sight of him changing shirts and focused on a piece of fuzz that stuck to our bed.

"Ready to get dressed Cupcake?" I looked up to find a white sweater and a pair of leggings hanging in front of my face. I smiled lightly, grabbing the clothing and put on the sweater while Levi put on the leggings, lifting my hips when he needed to. The leggings were soft and comfortable, the sweater the same and hung all the way to my mid thigh. Just how I liked it.

I followed Levi out of his penthouse and held his hand as we made our way through the club. It was hard to ignore all the jealous stares we both got, but they disappeared quickly when Levi sent them all a fierce glare. It was sorta pleasing to see how fearful everyone was whenever it came to Levi. I pouted slightly when Levi was called away for business things, but was quickly distracted by my friends.

"Ren!" Marco squealed making his way over to me with Armin and Felix right behind him, Felix holding Armin's hands for guidance. Marco was wearing a short maid dress that barely covered his thighs, Felix was in another cat costume, and Armin was dressed casual like me. A light blue sweater and white short shorts with a pair of white socks on his feet to match.

"Why are you dressed like a maid?" I asked Marco, full well knowing I shouldn't have. I usually ended up blushing at the answers I got.

"We're all going to a party and you're definitely coming along. No dom’s allowed!"

"You do know that Levi doesn't let me go anywhere without him right?" I asked them while sending a glance to where Levi stood with his friends. Ever since my last 'panic attack', I was near him at all times, and I knew I wouldn't be able to go to a party without him.

"He'll let you since there's going to be a lot of us there, plus it really is a party just for subs. So there won't be any pervy Doms to worry about." Marco grinned while walking over to where Levi stood. "All ya gotta do is show him those puppy eyes and he wont have a single problem."

"Levi." Felix called dragging out the 'I' in his name. Levi audibly groaned and turned around to face us with a frown on his face.

"Whatever you want, the answer is no." He growled before turning to me and softly smiling. Part of me wanted to laugh at Felix's shocked expression but I knew he would never forgive me if I did. He held grudges like they were his life line. "Do you need anything, Cupcake?"

"Okay first of all, rude!" Felix huffed, earning a glare. "Second of all he wants to hang out with us so, HA!" He screeched earning annoyed looks from those around us, not that he cared though, Felix never cared about what others thought of him. I loved that about him, he was confident in what he did and who he was.

"Eren." Levi called and my gaze quickly shot to him. A weird look crossed his features but he quickly went blank again before I could guess what it was. "If you really want to go you can, just be careful and stay with Annie okay?" An annoyed look crossed Felix's face but he thankfully didn't say anything. I nodded my head and gave Levi a quick hug and kiss before following Marco out of the club. 

We climbed in Annie's car; Marco and I in the back, Felix, Armin, and Petra in the middle, and Misty and Annie in the front. Armin shifted his glasses before turning back to where Marco and I sat. The glasses were the only reason Armin could see right now, and I knew it really bothered him.

"So why are you all dressed up again?" He asked Marco while looking his dress up and down. Marco shrugged and pointed to Petra. "She's the one who told us about the party and said we should dress up."
 

"You're supposed to dress up for parties silly." She giggled, "And it's a party for Subs and club workers so you can all dress however you want here without being Kink shamed." Armin nodded, turning back in his seat. "Makes sense." He hummed looking out the window, I wasn't sure if he could actually see that much or not, and he didn't give away whether or not he could. 

The ride continued, with most of us quiet while the others blared music and attempted to sing along. Felix couldn't sing if his life depended on it though, he mainly just yelled the lyrics and flashed people who were unfortunate enough to be outside of his  window. Only stopping when we pulled up to the club.

Music was pouring out of the building in waves, it looked a lot like Levi's, only smaller and a lot messier. Cans and cigarettes were littered all around the building, along with drunk people practically doing it against the walls.

"Is this place even sanitary?" Marco whined, kicking away a stray bottle in disgust. We all tried avoiding trash and I had to swallow down the urge to throw up when we walked past a used condom.
 

"It usually is, but they just recently had an open bar night and it got trashed by a lot of drunks." Petra explained while showing a guy her card and leading us in. The thought that Grisha could've recently been here briefly crossed my mind but was gone once I caught sight of the club. It was almost as nice as Levi's, again it was only slightly smaller than his.

"Whoa." Felix mumbled and we all nodded watching all the subs who were already here laugh and dance. They looked so happy and carefree that even the atmosphere felt cheery. We walked further in and found a table, I decided to sit with Armin and Annie while the others danced to the blaring music.

"Can you hear me? I'm trying to hear you. Silence strikes like a hurricane." The music was almost defining but Petra and Misty had no problem with talking to each other over the music while Felix and Marco were moving their hips to the beat. They were beginning to catch the attention of the other subs.
 

Annie seemed to catch my questioning glance and answered me with her chilling cold tone. "Some of the people here aren't even submissives and the others are most likely scouting new subs for their Doms." I nodded still not fully getting it but dropping the subject.

"Now I'm singing for you. You're screaming at me. It's hard to see your tears in the pouring rain." It  was weird to see so many subs in one place without a single Dom in sight, and it was crazy that they all seemed to be completely content without their Doms present. I haven't even been gone from Levi that long and I already missed him. We were finally making progress and I was scared that if he got distracted with work for too long he'd start treating me like a glass doll again. I didn't want that.

"Take what you want and go." But I had to admit that it was fun being out in new places for a change and hanging out with my friends. I couldn't remember if I had friends if I was younger, but it didn't really matter because I had them now and knew that nothing would be able to separate us.

"Still remember a time when you felt like home." I turned to the crowd when I heard Felix screaming lyrics and laughed when I saw him and Marco dancing with a little group as if they were putting on a concert. Each sang a different verse but they were all dancing offbeat and laughing.
 

"Here, Eren." I looked back to Armin and took the drink he had in his hand. I winced and coughed at the awful taste but took another sip when I caught my breath. It wasn't that bad.

~

"Lost in reality. I can feel you in the dark when I fall asleep. All that's in my head are pictures of memories. Words that you said to me. Hey! Hey! Hailey wont you save me!" I wasn't even sure how I was able to memorize the lyrics, let alone sing them, but somehow I was. And I was doing an amazing job.

"Bittersweet chemistry. I can't escape you anywhere, even in my dreams. All that's in my head are pictures of memories. Words that you said to me. Hey! Hey! Hailey wont you save me?" I was screaming the lyrics and dancing around managing to keep hands locked with Marco and Armin, only letting go when it got to the part where we needed to clap. We were all laughing and stumbling around but kept on singing even when Annie pulled out her phone and started to record.
 

" Last night was a blur, woke up lying next to her.  Last night made a mess, doesn't get better than this." I didn't even realize the song had changed until It was almost over and the lights changed again to match the new beat. "Phone ring from the bar, 25 texts and a call from mum."  

Hours passed in a blur, but I was having too much fun to realize that all of us were going to be out way past the curfew that had been set for us.

It was around 1:00 a.m. when Annie was finally able to drag all of us out of there, well besides Petra, she had gone home with someone else. We all stumbled to the car, stopping every so often when one of us had to throw up, me more than others. I had decided that being drunk wasn't all too fun when the partying stopped. Levi's club was dark when we had arrived, which was odd since it usually stayed open well into the mid morning.

No one really wanted to go in, we weren't too excited about what was waiting for us when we got back. Well I was, I had missed Levi terribly and wanted nothing more than to just lay down and sleep with him until next year. 

"Who's going in first?" Marco whispered as we all stared up at the looming door of doom.

"I say send in the cute one, he distracts while we sneak in." Felix said from his position on Marco's back. Marco was least drunk out of all of us and volunteered to carry Felix when he decided he didn't want to walk anymore and lied down in the middle of the road. Annie was pretty sober, but she was leading Armin and me.

"Seeing Eren drunk is just going to piss Levi off!" Armin whispered, slurring the tiniest bit, "Send someone who's sober in first to distract them."

"Why can't we just all go in?" I asked yawning softly while rubbing my eyes, I really just wanted to curl up and sleep, and maybe eat.

"We're all going to die." Misty sniffled from where she sat at the entrance. "Levis is going to kill us and then our Doms are going to bring us back and kill us again." Her sniffling turned into sobs and Annie had to leave Armin and I so she could quickly cover her mouth. She didn't say or show it, but I knew she was worried about Levi's reaction too.

Which I didn't really understand at all, I felt perfectly fine, and I doubted Levi would be able to tell.

"Oh trust me, Levi's gonna know." Marco groaned, pinching his nose. "You can barely walk or talk." Did I say that out loud? "Yea.." Oh.

"So what if he knows? They can't catch us if we run." I said walking to the door...s? When did Levi add another door? I glared at it reaching for the handle only to gasp when my fingers met the brick wall. "What is this? Magic?"

"We can't even open the door." Misty sobbed, making us all shoosh her. Felix groaned rambling about how he hated emotional drunks while I continued to look for the handle. Just when I was about to try again, the door flew open making me gasp and stumble back. Before I could hit the ground, a hand shot out, grabbed my wrist and yanked me into a hard chest. 

"You're in trouble, Cupcake." Levi hissed, I didn't bother looking up at his glare and just decided to just tuck myself into his chest. He wasn't happy with me, but hugged me tight anyway and led the rest of us inside where the others were waiting.

None of them looked happy. 

Felix stumbled over to Erwin who managed to catch him before he hit the ground while rolling his eyes, they were going to have a talk about this no doubt. I watched as Annie lead Armin to an unhappy Bertholdt before sitting beside a glaring Mikasa. She only rolled her eyes and watched as Misty and Marco tried to walk past Jean and Hanji.

"Not so fast Babyboy." Jean hummed, grabbing Marco by his hair, lightly dragging him to his lap. "What did I tell you about drinking?"

"I barely had anything, I promise." Marco squeaked, only earning a harsh slap on his rear.

"That's not what I asked." He glared. I winced slightly looking over to see Misty and Armin going through the same thing. I sent an uneasy glance to Levi only to flinch when I caught his cold gaze. He was very upset.

I tried to ease myself away from him, but he wasn't having it and gripped my hair while using his other arm to pull me back into his chest. I whined out looking up at him with glossy eyes but he only glared harder and shoved my face into his chest.

"Don't even try it with your eyes, you're not going unpunished for this." He growled making my stomach sink, what did I just get myself into?

~

I heaved into the toilet again, groaning at the burn and taste before resting my head on my arms. Levi sat beside me rubbing my back, but I didn't even want to be near him right now, he was the reason I was throwing up.

After we had all sat down for a talk, he had led me upstairs talking about the grossest things he could think of. As soon as we had walked in I ran to the toilet and began to puke out my guts while he laughed saying this would make me never want to drink again. Little did he know him doing this, made me want to do it even more just so I could get under his skin.

I was a brat like that.

"You're gonna be alright Cupcake, just get it all out and we can go to bed." He cooed playing with my hair while ignoring my glare.

"I'm sleeping in my room by myself ." I hissed before heaving into the toilet again. I hated puking, it hurt, smelled awful, and I always ended up having killer headaches afterwards. 

"No you're not, you're sick." I ignored him and spit into the toilet before getting up and brushing my teeth. I walked into my room grabbing pajamas before walking into my personal bathroom and slamming the door shut making sure to lock it afterwards. He made me sick, he didn't deserve to change me. Plus I was already going to be in trouble, so why not just do as much damage as I can before he actually goes through with it? 

"Eren." He growled from his side of the door, I was provoking him, but I couldn't find it within myself to actually care about that fact. Maybe it was all the drinks I had. "Open the damn door."

"Go away, I'm mad at you." I called back sniffling slightly when a wave of sadness suddenly came over me. I didn't want to be mad at Levi, and I didn't want him mad at me. But he made me sick.

"Cupcake, come out here so we can talk about this. Okay?" He sighed. "I'm really tired and want to go to bed with you. And I don't want either of us going to bed angry."

I shuffled over to the door with another sniffle and unlocked it, moving to sit on the counter as he walked in. He sighed again making his way over to me and softly wiped away the stray tears before kissing my head. He silently changed me before picking me up and carrying me to his room where we both lied down.

"I'm sorry for making you throw up Cupcake, but we haven't gone over punishments yet and you really needed one." He whispered while running his hands through my hair. My anger had disappeared and a wave of tiredness settled over me.

"I'm sorry I got drunk and came home late, but to be fair I didn't know it was alcohol and I can't drive or find my way back here by myself." I murmured, he laughed softly nuzzling his way into my locks before letting out a small breath.

"Yea, I realize that now. I was just so caught up in being worried about you and angry about letting you go that I sorta forgot about that." I pulled back looking into his eyes and frowned when I saw the stress and dark circles under his eyes. 

"Ill forgive you if you forgive me." I hummed smiling up at him, he smiled back and gave a quick kiss to my nose before nodding.

"Deal." With that we both went to sleep curled up in each others arms.

~

I think the worst part about sleeping is having to wake up, especially when you wake up alone and cold. Levi was gone and I was honestly getting upset about him doing that. I didn't like waking up by myself and he knew that, yet he still let me wake up alone. Maybe if I threw a tantrum he'd stay in bed until I woke up, or at least take me with him wherever he left.

I snorted at the thought only to wince at the sudden throb that shot through my head, I whined softly and rubbed my head trying to ease the thumping. Was this from last night? If so, I'm never ever drinking again, the fun isn't worth this pain. Another throb shot through my head and I crawled under the blankets quickly curling into a ball. It didn't help but my stomach had stopped twisting. 

"Eren?" I groaned at the sound of Levi's voice. Usually I would get butterflies, but this time I only felt a wave of pain. "I know Cupcake, I have some medicine for you."

He thankfully quieted down to a soft whisper and I peeked out from the covers when I felt the bed dip. I sat up slowly and grimaced at the small pill in Levi's hand. It looked icky but when I caught Levi's narrowed eyes I quickly popped it in my mouth and downed it with the help of the water he handed me. I officially hate taking medicine.  

"I know you don't feel well, but you have to get dressed and come down to the club with me." I whined again and just decided to go limp, if Levi wanted me to go then he had to get me ready and carry me.

Apparently that wasn't a problem for him, within ten minutes I was dressed and hauled down stairs to the club. I groaned into his shoulder, the swaying was making my stomach churn again and the music wasn't helping the pounding one bit. It was as if the pulsing decided to go with the beat.

"Awe Hun," I looked up enough to see Hanji looking at me with a small smile on her face. "You look awful, want mamma Hanji to make you some soup?" I nodded slightly and watched her feet fade behind the bar and towards the kitchen. 

Levi gently placed me at his private booth where a sick looking Armin and a tired looking Marco sat. They both gave me small waves but instead of waving back I dropped my head into my arms and groaned again. 

"That bad?" Marco asked in a scratchy voice. I nodded, turning my head to face him and my eyes widened slightly at the sight before me. Marco's hair was a mess and he had dark bruises along his neck and bright red marks across his collar bones. He was also in an oversized T-shirt and shorts, something he only ever wore when we were all relaxing.

"What the heck happened to you?' I whispered looking at him over again, he looked wrecked. Marco only blushed ducking his head down and his eyes darted around the room checking to see who had all noticed his appearance.

"U-uh, Master Jean." He mumbled looking embarrassed. Armin let out a quiet snort and my gaze snapped to him, he looked almost as bad as Marco, only his marks didn't look as deep and painful. Marco only covered his face with a pitiful whine and I couldn't help but giggle at him

"Here you babies go." Hanji said cheerfully as she set down three bowls of soup. "It will help any stomach aches you get, ill get you all some Sprite too." I nodded and watched her leave before looking for Levi. 

"Couldn't you feed yourself?" Marco asked curiously.

"I could," I nodded. "I don't want to though. Levi feeds me and I like it like that, I don't really know why...I just do I guess." Marco nodded and took his own spoon before beginning to eat.

"And I cant really see...so I sorta need to be fed." Armin said, making Marco choke and spit his soup out onto the table. We both sent awkward glances to each other and then glanced back at Armin who glared down at the table. Do we laugh? Or just act like we didn't hear it?

'W-well I'll just go get Levi and Bertholdt for you two. Okay?" Armin mumbled something under his breath but Marco was already gone and I was left in the awkward silence. 

"Are you okay Armin?" I timidly asked, poking his shoulder gently. I hadn't really talked to him after we got out of the hospital, we were never really alone together and even when we were I never knew what to say.

"I can't see, or walk right." He snorted with a blank eye roll before sighing softly. "I just want this all to be over already, I hate not being able to do anything and I hate getting treated like I'm made of glass!" It was silent after that, nothing but the sound of Armins heavy breathing and the regular noise of the club.

I didn't know what to do.

"I-I'm s-orry Armin." I stuttered weakly, I was at a loss with how to handle this.  "It's gonna be okay though, I know it is."

"I should be the one apologizing, Eren," He sighed, looking down at his lap while twirling his hands. He looked up at me, briefly adjusting his glasses, before sighing again. "It's my fault this happened, if I hadn't asked you to come with-"

"Don't you dare blame yourself!' I yelled cutting him off, how could he think that this was his fault!? "You didn't know that it would happen, and if you would've gone alone it could've turned out a lot worse. They would have all gone after you, and you might not have been found in time. You can't blame yourself for something you didn't cause Armin."

"Bu-" I cut him off again, only this time I slapped my hand over his mouth so he couldn't even talk anymore. "It wasn't your fault Armin, it's no one's fault." I felt him huff against my hand, so I pulled it away only to pull him into a hug.

"Armin, it's no one's fault. No one." I sighed hugging him tighter when he returned the embrace. "I don't blame you, Levi doesn't blame you, no one blames you. So please stop blaming yourself." I felt him nod into my shoulder and smiled, he was a moron for blaming himself. We stayed hugging for a few more minutes before a voice broke the silence.

"What did we miss?" I looked up to see Levi, Bertholdt and Marco all staring at Armin and I. Neither of us said anything, and I shook my head when Levi rose a brow, this could stay between Armin and I. Levi nodded and took a seat, pulling me into his lap while Bertholdt did the same to Armin.

I watched as Bertholdt silently fed Armin, giving him quick kisses between each bite, while keeping a firm hold on him. I couldn't help but giggle a bit, Bertholdt was as touchy as Levi was, only Bertholdt was a lot rougher. I was glad that Armin had him in his life, Bertholdt always made him happier.

"Open up Cupcake." I turned to find a spoon in front of my face, and quickly opened my mouth so Levi could feed me. The medicine had already made the headache go away, but the stomach ache was still there; my throat also burned badly.

"Any plans for today?" Marco asked before taking a sip of his drink. He still hadn't fixed his hair or changed his clothes, but I doubted he was going to do it any time soon. But I was assuming that him being in public like this was part of his punishment.

"There really aren't any," Levi said, shifting me around so that I was sitting next to him instead of on his lap. I sent him a glare but he only kissed my cheek before reaching back and grabbing his phone while throwing his free arm around my shoulders. "I have some work to get done but it can wait if you all would like to do something."

"Well, I overheard Felix and his brothers talking about going to the mall..." Marco said drifting off a bit at the end, he sent Levi a quick glance before looking back down at his bowl. I knew Levi could be scary, but I've never seen him yell or get angry with Marco or any of them, so I wasn't sure why they were all so scared of him. I'd have to ask him about it.

"If you go, we're all going with you." Levi replied while pulling me back into his lap, I smiled and took another sip of soup.  Marco cheered and I looked up in time to see him dart off to where Jean was standing, and talking to another Dom.

"Do you want to go Cupcake?"  Levi asked and I nodded, still keeping my attention on my food. Levi chuckled and helped me take a sip of Sprite before helping me finish off the soup. By the time I was finished everyone was dressed, and ready to go. We ended up having to take two different cars; Levi, Armin, Bertholdt, Marco, Jean, and I in one, and Haze, Luke, Declan, Ollie, Felix, and Erwin in another. The car ride there was pretty long and quiet, but Levi turned the radio on to pass the time.

After we parked, we all met up at the front of the mall. I wasn't too sure on how our big group was going to manage to stay together, and keep from getting in trouble. Felix wasn't the most responsible person, and now we had his brothers and brothers crazy boyfriends. I glanced at Levi, who was glaring at the group of troublemakers, probably having the same worries as me.

"Don't do anything stupid or we're leaving." He said with a hard glare.

"Yes mother." Haze mocked with an eye roll, only to receive a quick slap to the back of his head from Levi. I giggled a bit and watched as Haze sent a fake pout to Levi.

"Levi prefers to be called Daddy." Declan laughed, and moved out of the way just before Levi could grab him. I burst into a fit of giggles, along with everyone else, and wasn't able to stop even when Levi sent a halfhearted glare my way. I yelped quite loudly when Levi grabbed me and blushed when I was thrown over his shoulder with a harsh slap on my butt.

"Don't you dare laugh at me Cupcake!" He playfully growled, causing me to giggle even more.  He gripped my legs tightly as we began to walk into the mall and didn't set me down until we reached the first store. As soon as I touched the floor, I was tucked into his side with a firm grip around my waist.

"I'm going to get some hair dye." Marco grinned as we walked into the store. "We could get some stuff to cut Eren's hair too." My hands immediately flew to my hair and I frowned slightly as I played with the long strands, it really needed to be cut. Levi nodded and followed Marco down the aisle and grabbed what we needed before paying and heading to the next store.

It took a few more stores before I began to notice all the looks we had been getting. Some people looked at us with disgust while others looked at us in fear. I frowned slightly as we continued down the hall to the next store, I then noticed that almost everyone hurried out of our way as we made our way down the hall.

"Why is everyone acting so weird?" I asked Levi as I looked around, I may have not been in public for years, but I knew people shouldn't be acting like this.

"I'm not exactly the nicest person Cupcake," Levi hummed, moving his hand from my waist to my shoulders. "And these people know that.

"Well why don't you start being nice?" I asked, earning a snort from Declan. Levi's lips twitched and he sent a secretive grin my way.

"I can't be nice with the job I have Cupcake."  I frowned slightly at that. Why would he have a job like that? Seems pretty silly to me. I was about to tell him to get a new job when Felix began to freak out about having to go to a store called "Hot Topic"

"You're going to love this store!" He promised as he dragged us all into the store. I looked around and scrunched up my nose,  everything was so...dark, and the music was really loud. "I know I know, just wait. There's stuff for everyone."

I nodded and held Levi's hand as we made our way further into the store, luckily the further we went it the more things seemed to 'lighten up'.  I gasped in awe and ran over to a stand that was full of headbands covered in flowers.

"I love flower crowns!" Marco squealed, running over excitedly. "We should totally get some for Eren, he'd look so cute!" We both looked up at Levi who sighed and reluctantly nodded making both of us cheer and giggle before quickly grabbing what we liked. Levi sighed and he and Jean paid for our things before we met the others outside the store.

"We should go to Spencer's next." Felix hummed as he led us down the hall once again. Marco, Luke, Ollie, and Armin all blushed while the other boys grinned and walked even faster. I looked up at Levi in confusion only to see him wearing a smirk of his own.

"This is the one store I'll be happy to go to." Bertholdt mumbled and Levi nodded.

"Very happy."

~~

Chapter Text

~~
The store turned out to be an awful place when you're with someone you liked. The Dom's just kept torturing their poor little subs while I stood far away from them all, with Levi of course. I didn't want to get caught in the middle of what they were doing, and I knew they were afraid to mess with me when Levi was around. 

"Put that damn thing down!" Ollie hissed while smacking away Haze's hand that had a weird, long, wiggly object in it. "Haze, I swear to God I'l-"

"You'll what sweetheart? Take it? Go on and try." Haze tempted him with a small smirk, Ollie glared back his eyes darting from Haze to the object. He let out an annoyed huff, stomping away only to yelp when Haze smacked his butt with it.

"What is that thing?" I asked Levi, pointing out the weird thingy. Levi followed my finger before his eyes landed on it, narrowing slightly. He pushed me behind him muttering "nothing", before he began to yell at Haze.

"Put it the fuck away." He hissed, and I didn't have to peek out to know that Haze had listened. They all always listened to Levi, it was weird. "And don't grab another one." I could hear Haze and Declan laughing but I couldn't move to try and see what they were doing. I was suddenly being dragged to the other side of the store and sighed in when I was finally let go. 

"Levi, I'm hungry." I whined, making him put back whatever he had grabbed. He looked at me and then at his friends before grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the store. "We're getting food!" He called as he walked and I could hear the footsteps of the others catching up to us. I could smell the food before I saw it, and didn't even bother to blush when my stomach growled. I liked all this new food.

"Calm down Cupcake." Levi laughed as I tried to bounce my way over to the food. He gently took my hand again and walked me over to a table where the others followed. "Go get some pizza or whatever, we'll wait here." Haze, Declan, and Jean went to go get food and pay while everyone else took a seat around us.

"Do you like shopping Eren?" Marco asked as I pulled myself onto Levi's lap, I nodded my head thinking of all the stuff I got when I went out with Levi. I got myself comfortable on his lap before I took both of Levi's hands and wrapped them around my waist. I could hear them gigging but I didn't really care. "You're so cute Ren."

This time I did blush and quickly looked down making them all laugh, Levi only buried his face into my neck and I was able to feel his smirk. I huffed quietly, deciding to play with his hands so that I didn't have to look at any of them. 

"I don't like you meanies," I mumbled, feeling Levi's grip tighten around my waist. "I'm only here for the free food." Levi laughed at him, his chuckles were mostly muffled in my neck but I could feel his shoulders shaking against me. I turned over to look at him when I felt him lift his head, and smiled softly when I saw his face. He looked really happy. 

"I have a feeling you love food more than you love me." He said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I giggled lightly, kissing his cheek before leaning close to his ear. "I love you Levi...but I really like food." He chuckled again, rolling his eyes and kissing my nose, before resting his head on my shoulder.

"Food has arrived, you can kiss me later." Haze said as he set down a box of pizza, Declan came up behind with Jean, each of them carrying a tray of food. Ollie snorted, rolling his eyes but made a grab for the food anyways. Once everyone was reseated, we all began to eat, well Levi had to wait until he was done feeding me. I sighed softly, turning around in Levi's lap so that I could rest my head on his shoulder, I was starting to get really tired. 

"We're going home soon Cupcake," Levi hummed as he ran his hand through my hair. "But you cant fall asleep because we have to cut your hair when we get back." I whined softly at that, I really wanted to sleep, but I also really wanted to get my hair cut. I hated having it this long. It was also really uneven from the times I had to cut it with a shard of glass by myself. 

"Are you guys almost ready to go?" Levi asked me to turn over to see them nod and grab their bags before getting up and heading to the exit. Levi carried me, which wasn't the best idea with me being this tired. "You need to stay awake, Cupcake, or else."

"Or else what?" I mumbled tiredly, having a hard time keeping my eyes open. I really wanted to take a nap for an entire week.  "Or else Daddy's gonna have to punish you." He said darkly making me blush, I whined out pathetically wanting to sleep but not wanting to get punished. 

~~

I groaned and shifted on the lid of the toilet seat as I watched Levi set up everything so that he could cut my hair. He insisted on doing it since he cut his own, but also because he didn't trust anyone else cutting my hair. I sighed in content when I felt him brush out my hair, and tensed slightly when I heard the first slice of my hair being cut.

It didn't take long for most of my hair to be on the floor. I looked up when he said he was done and grinned brightly at my new hair, it was much shorter and luckily even. I smiled brightly before turning around and kissing Levi. He stumbled back a bit from my sudden attack but was quick to re-adjust me so that my legs were around his waist and my arms around his neck. 

I blushed slightly when I felt his tongue swipe across my bottom lip and opened my mouth to let him in. It started off hesitant like the first kiss we shared, but soon his hands were trailing up my thighs before he harshly grasped my butt. I gasped in surprise, only allowing his tongue to have more room in my mouth. Soon enough I was mewling softly and gripping his hair as he slammed me into the bathroom door. 

"L-levi." I gasped as soon as he pulled his mouth away from mine, I gripped his hair harder trying to pull him back up to my lips but he only moved down to my jaw. I groaned when his teeth suddenly sunk into the side of my neck and moaned when he began to lick and suck on the bite. Before I knew it, my hips were moving quickly against his, causing him to groan and buck up harder as he continued to suck on various places on my neck. Everything felt so hazy and I was beginning to lose myself in the pleasure. 

"Levi." I moaned as one of his hands came up and gripped my hair, forcing my head back so that more of my throat was exposed. He pushed me harder into the door and his other hand came up, taking both of mine into his hold before slamming both of my hands against the wood above my head. I cried out trying to move my hips faster, but it was almost impossible to move with his weight holding me against the door. "Please Da-"

"What the fuck are you two doing in there!?" A voice screeched causing both Levi and I to freeze and look at each other with wide eyes. I could hear banging on the door, but the sound of my heart beating out of my chest was much louder. I backed away from the door when Levi set me down and set him a panicked look when Hanji started to screech again. "Levi! You better not be hitting my baby!"

"Hold on Eren, Mama Hanji's coming!" I couldn't help but laugh a bit at that, Levi just glared at the door and I knew he was debating on opening it or not. I didn't really want him too, she no doubt heard my begging and would soon tell everyone. I blushed at the thought and quickly pulled Levi away from the door. He looked at me confused but I only shook my head and moved to sit on the counter.

"She's gonna tell everyone." I whined out trying to rub away the blush that seemed to be permanent. Levi laughed softly and kissed my nose before moving to the door and opening it before I could yell at him. That traitor!

"What the fuck do you want four-eyes." He growled out, his whole aura taking a dark turn. Hanji seemed to not notice this, and sent me a curious look before her eyes landed on my neck. She gasped loudly, looking between the both of us before screeching and running. We quickly ran after her but she made it down to the bar before we could stop her, eyes quickly landed on her and I almost fainted when she began to tell them all. 

"You will never believe what I caught Eren and Levi doing!" She screeched, quickly catching Haze's interest. The others sent Levi and I looks before each of their gazes caught sight of my neck. I whined out pathetically and leaned into Levi when he stepped behind me. "At first I thought Levi was spanking him! I could hear all the dirty little noises, but then I walked in and I saw Eren's state, swollen lips, messy hair, the hickeys, and I knew....They were getting freaky on the bathroom door!"

I groaned when they all turned their eyes to us, each of them had a little smirk on their face and as if that wasn't enough, Haze decided to open his mouth.  

"You got yourself a little freak, Levi." He laughed, making me blush and hide my face into Levi's side. Nothing was kept a secret with these people. Everyone had to know everything, even the dirty stuff. "You're always worried about us tainting him, but you're the one who keeps doing it." 

"Why the fuck didn't you let them finish Hanji!?" Felix screeched causing me to roll my eyes, this embarrassment is never going to end. "You coulda just told us and we could've gotten a sex tape!" 

"Try it and I will break your fucking hand." Levi growled when Hanji suddenly grinned like a mad man. I cringed internally, who the heck would want that? "And if I hear anything about this getting out, you'll all be in charge of cleaning the playrooms." 

"Well, you're obviously telling me what the fuck happened." Declan said to Levi, looking weirdly serious. "I wanna know what the fuck happened to "I need to wait", "the boy's a virgin", "I don't want him tainted.", cause I'm really fucking confused."

"Does this mean we can make sex jokes now? Or..." Haze hesitantly asked, making Levi roll his eyes. I just wanted to go back to Levi's room. I was really confused, embarrassed, and my pants were still a little uncomfortable. 

"We'll talk later, and no." Levi growled before taking my hand, and dragging me away. "We're going to bed, leave us the fuck alone." He said darkly, no one said anything and we quickly went up to his room. I sighed and climbed into his bed before going limp and falling into his pillows, I heard Levi laugh and felt the bed dip as he climbed on. 

"It's not even bedtime." I said as I looked out the window, it was still pretty light out. I gasped when I was flipped onto my back and looked up to see Levi looking down at me with dark eyes.

"I know," He smirked as he leaned down and claimed my lips once again.

I woke up sore, disoriented, and sad since Levi was once again, nowhere to be seen. I huffed slightly, sitting up and throwing on one of Levi's shirts before making my way to the kitchen. I was surprised to see Levi busily cooking and setting up the table. My stomach growled at the sight of the pancakes, and my mouth watered at the scent of the bacon, making Levi laugh lightly before leaning over and kissing my head.

I giggled and skipped over to a chair, taking a seat while watching Levi continue to cook. He was only wearing a pair of sweats, leaving his scratched back and marked chest on full display. I blushed remembering last night and guessed that I probably looked far worse. We hadn't gone all the way, but we did enough to leave the both of us marked for days. 

"I have a surprise for you once we're done with breakfast." Levi said as he placed bacon and pancakes on my plate. I nodded and took a piece of bacon, nibbling on it while he filled up his plate and took a seat beside me. 

"What's the surprise?" I asked before shoving a forkful of pancakes in my mouth, deciding to let Levi eat instead of feeding me. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but I still liked it when Levi fed me. 

"Nice try Cupcake." He snorted, making me look over at him with a pout. I don't like surprises, I only liked the gifts I got. "I hate surprises." I huffed only earning a laugh from Levi. 

"This one will be worth it Cupcake." He promised before going back to eating. I sent him a small glare before continuing to eat, it wasn't like I could go against him on this. Levi was in charge, and I oddly liked it like that. I kept quiet for the rest of breakfast and watched as Levi cleaned up the mess. He seemed to be in a rush, I guess he was pretty excited about giving me my gift. 

"Come on Cupcake, your surprise is in the living room." I grinned, and jumped out of my chair following Levi into the living room. I squealed when I saw that there were three small wrapped boxes set on top of the table. 

"These are for me?" I asked with a grin, Levi nodded and lead me over to the couch before sitting down as well. I watched with excited eyes as he grabbed one of the boxes and handed it over to me. I slowly peeled off the black paper and glanced back up to Levi for permission before I took off the lid. The first thing I pulled out was a short black leather...collar. It was decorated in small black flowers and small silver beads and loops with a large one right in the middle. I looked down into the box to see similar ones only in different shades.

"Why collars?" I asked curiously, tilting my head a bit in confusion. I normally saw these things on dogs, but I had seen a lot of people wear them around the club. Armin and Marco often wore them but I never asked them about it. Sure, I was curious, but it wasn't really my business and I had no clue on how to start a conversation like that.

"You don't have to wear them if you don't want to Cupcake, that's the most important thing that you need to know." He said honestly while taking my hands in his. I looked up at him to see that he looked a bit hesitant and uneasy about this topic. "There are a few different types of collars here." I nodded while running my hands over each of the collars in the box. They were really pretty  and I didn't mind at least trying them on. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I could try it out for Levi.

"There are a few types of collars for subs. I wont get into all of them since we will only be using one type for now. But since you opened these first," He began as he took the black one from my hands. "These ones are more of the more serious collars, it's sorta like a marriage level type of collar. We won't use these until we're at that level." He reached over and grabbed the other wrapped boxes and handed them to me. I opened them to find that there were more collars inside. One box  was full of light blue ones and the other had purples and a few others. 

I noticed that these ones were more plain than the ones in the first box I opened. There were only two that matched the one's from the first box, and I was confused as to why they were different. 

"Protection ones will show other Dom's that you're not available." He said once he noticed my look. "They won't have my lock on them like the permanent one's will, but it still shows you're not up for grabs." I nodded, grabbing a light blue leather collar with a silver locked heart hanging in the middle and handed it to Levi. He looked confused for a moment so I climbed into his lap with a giggle before putting his hands back in front of my neck so that all he had to do was wrap it around and lock it.

It felt weird at first, having a collar around my neck, but it wasn't unpleasant. It was actually nice, and since I knew that in a way it meant that I was Levi's....it was comforting. "I like it." I whispered, smiling slightly while playing with the lock. "Do I wear it all the time?"

"Well that's more up to you. You'll have to wear it in clubs, but otherwise it's up to what you're comfortable with." He said while tracing the leather. "That's what is most important. Always tell me when you're uncomfortable with anything we do." I nodded, leaning back into his chest with a soft sigh.

"When are we gonna start talking about the other things?" I asked, hoping that since we were on the subject we could get to business. Levi sighed, running his hands down my chest then around my waist.

"I guess now." He said, shifting me around so that we could be face to face. "I know your friends have been teaching you things here and there. -You boys are horrible at being sneaky by the way.-  But as you know I'm a Dominant, I need control. But you're the one who gives it to me, if you trust me. You set the limits and I wont cross them.  We will go over your limits and my rules once you're sure you're okay with this."

I was a little worried that Levi was upset about my friends teaching me behind his back, but I wanted to learn about it, and I wasn't sure he was going to actually do it at the time. I already knew that I wanted something like that with Levi, we were sorta already like that. "I want this Levi." I said firmly so he knew that I was 100% sure about this. 

"Let's go over your limits then we'll get into my rules and punishments." I nodded, getting ready to speak but he cut me off before I could get the first word out. "No lying either Eren, complete honesty is a must."

"I-I'm not sure about the pain stuff..." I mumbled blushing slightly. "Marco's talked about it...but I don't like getting hurt or hit." It reminded me of Grisha and I hated that.

"That's alright Cupcake, pain isn't for everyone." He cooed with a soft smile. "I would never hit you or hurt you, okay? But, how do you feel about getting spankings if you're naughty?"

"W-we could try it, but you'll stop if I ask right?" I knew it was a stupid question, Levi would stop before I could finish the word, but I was still a bit nervous about all this. 

"Of course Cupcake. That's where safe words come in, but let's finish limits and rules before we get into those." I nodded thinking back to other things I had overheard in the club or things my friends had talked about.

"Nothing nasty or weird." I said wrinkling my nose. "J-just...I like you being in charge and making decisions for me. I really like it when you take care of me too! Like dressing me and feeding me! But...not how it is with Ymir and Christa...I don't want to be a baby."

"Christa isn't a baby Eren," Levi laughed, poking my nose. "She's a little, and it's okay to like things a little would like and not be one." I grinned up at Levi, happy that we were talking about this, and that he understood and knew about the things I wanted and liked. 

"We can start on my rules now, but if you think of anything else you don't like or if you don't like one of my rules tell me. This will be the only time that you're allowed to interrupt me." He said, his eyes narrowing a bit on his last statement. I nodded a little bit nervously to hear about the rules. "I expect you to always listen to me when I tell you to do something, the first time . If I give you a command you're not comfortable doing, tell me. Always tell me when you get uncomfortable. Be honest with me, Cupcake." I nodded, those would be easy to follow. 'Then again I can be a brat at times' I thought with an eye roll.

"Also, you better knock it off with the eye rolling, it's a pet peeve of mine." I huffed a bit at that one, it was a habit of mine. "We will go over more rules the further we get into this okay? For now just try to listen to commands." I nodded again, glad I didn't have to focus on too many rules at once.

"There will also be daily routines okay? If you wake up before me, don't leave my apartment. Stay in here until I wake up or wake me up yourself. If I leave before you, wait for me or someone else to come get you. I will either dress you, or have an outfit out for you in the mornings, but you better brush your hair and teeth before you get dressed if I'm not there to do it for you. You will have a curfew and a bedtime okay? If I'm not with you, you need to be back in this room by 9:30 and in bed by 10:30. This will give you time to shower, brush, and change." 

"Is that all?" I asked. "What about the things we did in bed that one day?"

"That's more into the sex part of everything." Levi said, making me blush. "I would say most of that would wait...but we haven't exactly been taking this slow." I could feel my face burn at that, but it was true. We kissed, and other things, and we had that "scene" in this room that one day. 

"Are you gonna tie me up again?" Levi's hands twitched at that question, and I knew that he really wanted to. I couldn't stop the smirk that made its way onto my face, nor could I stop myself from leaning next to Levi's ear. "I liked you tying me up Levi."

"We're not even an hour into this and you already want sex." Levi groaned, making me giggle. "We're waiting on that." I leaned back, looking up at him with puppy eyes making him roll his own. I giggled a bit, and pecked Levi on the cheek so that he knew I was only joking.

"Alright Cupcake, let's get ready, we got things to do today."

I sighed and spun around in the chair that Levi had left me in while he went back up to the room to get something he had forgotten. The silence was a bit awkward and none of the men in the room would look my way, probably because of the threat Levi left them with before he walked out. I looked around the room staring each man down with curious eyes, they weren't Levi's normal men, those men were all used to me. I almost giggled when each of them tensed as soon as my eyes landed on them. Was I meant to find this funny? Probably. 

I kicked off from the table once more and spun around as the chair moved back. I let out a surprised gasp when the chair collided with the wall behind me, sending me forward with the chair coming down on top of me. I groaned in pain when my arms met the floor and tensed up waiting for the chair to hit me, only it never did. 

"Are you okay?" I looked up to see a strange boy staring down at me with worried eyes. I nodded once and looked him over, he looked to be about my height and had short blonde hair with light brown eyes. He wasn't ugly...but he wasn't cute, only Levi was cute. I kept staring at him wondering why a boy so young was trying to work for Levi. I wasn't too sure about what Levi did, but I was certain that it shouldn't involve kids.

"I-I'd help you up...but Mr. Ackerman would probably cut off my hand." He said nervously as he set the chair back into its correct position. I nodded dumbly, still staring at him as if he was an alien. 

"You're right about that." Levi said as he walked back into the room. I let out a giggle and raised up my arms so that he could pick me up and nuzzled into his neck once he did. "Care to explain what happened?"

"I was spinning in the chair and ran into the wall." I laughed, causing Levi to raise an eyebrow. "And he caught the chair before it hit me." I said pointing to the boy who looked like he was about to vomit from fear, Levi had that affect on people. 

"Did you say thank you Eren?" Levi questioned making me look up at him to see if he was joking. His rule when he left was that I didn't talk to them and they didn't even think about me.

"No," I said looking up at him with a smirk. "Did you?" I knew that I shouldn't have said it, Levi didn't usually like smart comments like that directed at him, but I mean...he sorta walked right into it. His face hardened a bit, and for a moment I thought I made him mad, then I saw his lip twitch.

"I'll deal with you later." He growled playfully in my ear making me shiver, he was obviously trying not to laugh. "And you, what's your name?" For a second I thought he was talking to me until I remembered that the boy was still standing there, along with all the other men. 'Oh God, he's gonna kill me.' I thought as I realized that I had just mouthed off to Levi in front of them all. Part of me wanted to get on my knees and apologize with my mouth, but then I again remembered about all the men who were in the room and decided that it probably wasn't one of my best ideas.

"F-floch, sir." The boy stuttered out making Levi roll his eyes, something only he could do, which wasn't fair at all. I was becoming a brat, I decided, a mouthy brat and I was going to blame Felix and Haze.

"Stuttering makes you sound like a coward Floch," Levi stated in his creepy dark, dull tone. "But, the fact that you grabbed the chair before it hit him even after I said stay away from him says otherwise. So tell me Floch, are you a coward?"

"Most definitely sir." He responded quickly, surprising both me and Levi. Who the heck would admit to being a coward? And doesn't admitting show at least a little bit of bravery?

"Well at least you're honest." Levi said with a snort. "Jean! Take this kid to Erwin and tell him to get him a room." Fear crossed the boy's face but he quickly masked it and followed Jean out of the room in silence. The other men watched him leave, some had worried faces and others looked a bit peeved that he got 'chosen'. 

"Why does he need a room?" I asked Levi in a quiet whisper. Did that mean he was going to keep him? And if so, for what? 

"I have a lot of my men staying here at the club, to keep unwanted people out." He responded, choosing his words carefully. So much for honesty I thought with an eye roll. Before I could even realize my mistake, I was being dragged out of the room and back into the club.

"Tell Mikasa and Farlan to finish that up for me." Levi called to Connie who stood outside the door along with Sasha and Isabel. They nodded, sending me a curious look, but I only shook my head, I didn't really know what was going on either. I watched as the club passed by me in a blur as Levi continued to drag me back to what I assumed would be his room. 

My assumptions were confirmed when he opened the door to his penthouse and led me back to his room. My nerves spiked up when I was gently thrown onto the bed while Levi locked the door.

"What did I say about the eye-rolling Cupcake?" He asked in a slightly irritated voice, something he never used when he was talking to me. It was odd hearing him sound a bit angry towards me, but I wasn't scared of him, I was almost...excited? 

"You said not to do it." I whispered softly, watching as he walked to a drawer and started collecting items. I didn't pay much attention to what they were exactly, I couldn't focus on anything other than my beating heart. 

"Exactly, so why did you roll your eyes?" He asked, as he walked back to the bed. He set down the items and I turned to see what they were, but he roughly grabbed my chin and turned towards him once again. "I asked you a question, Cupcake." 

"I d-didn't mean to." I stuttered out breathlessly, why was this making me excited? A deep part of my mind was shouting that I should be scared, but this was Levi, Levi wouldn't hurt me.

"You do it an awful lot for it to be an accident Cupcake." He laughed humorlessly as began to undress me, making me shiver. "And I think you've gotten out of punishment long enough. But, since it's the first rule you've broken I'll take it easy." A part of me didn't want him to take it easy on me, but I knew he was right. I was still getting used to his rules, and it would be my first punishment.

"On your knees." He said and I was on them without hesitation, he smiled at that but quickly masked it before grabbing something off the bed. "I'm going to only cuff your wrists for now." He explained as he took my hands.  The cuffs were leather on the outside but soft and fuzzy on the inside, they were linked together by a fairly short chain that limited most of my movement. I couldn't open my arms, I was only able to raise and lower them.

I looked back up to Levi only for him to order me to move to my hands and knees, it was a bit difficult to do, and the cuffs had caused me to rest on my forearms instead of my hands. This caused my chest to fall on the bed and backside to arch up.

"You look cute like this Eren." Levi said as he dragged his finger up my back causing a shiver to rack through my body. My breaths were coming out in harsh pants and I was slowly losing the ability to focus on anything but Levi. "Up." He demanded as he grasped the hook in my collar, he used his new found grip to help me pull myself back up onto my knees.

"You're so obedient." He praised making my chest swell with pride. "Like a little pup." I blushed at name and looked down only for him to yank my head back up by the collar. His gaze softened at my embarrassed state, and for a second I thought he was going to stop what he was doing.

"Green to keep going, Yellow to slow down, and Red if you need me to stop, okay?" He said and I nodded, unable to find my voice. "This is a punishment Eren, so I'm not going to be nice, but that doesn't mean I won't stop if you need me to. If it gets to be too much, say red and I will stop right away. Don't try to push yourself."  I wanted to cry and giggle at his worry and care but I stopped myself in fear that he might think I wanted him to stop.

"I understand Levi." I said with a smile. After I spoke, his face hardened and he was back to being the cold Levi that gave orders instead of giving into mine. I loved being spoiled, but for some reason this was much better. 

"You'll call me Daddy, okay Pup?" I blushed again at his bluntness but responded with what he wanted to hear nonetheless. I let out a small squeak when he suddenly pinched my backside and blushed even brighter when he hooked the leash to the collar. I looked down and saw the leash lying flat on the bed and for a split second the leash turned into a cord. 

"Y-yellow." I whispered softly, looking away from the leash and taking a deep breath. I could do this, Levi isn't Grisha. Levi won't hurt me. I'm with Levi, not him. Levi. Only Levi.

"You okay Cupcake?" Levi whispered softly in my ear as he rubbed my thighs soothingly. I nodded my head nuzzling my face into his neck and taking another deep breath. Levi, only Levi. "Tell me if we need to stop, I won't be mad."

"No," I said quickly, not wanting this to stop. "I'm okay, green." He kissed my head before unhooking the leash, promising that we'd bring it out later when I began to protest. I looked up at Levi when he flipped me on my back and started to giggle when he placed soft kisses along my neck.

"Five spanks okay Pup? You won't count them since this is your first punishment." He said as he pulled me into his lap. I nodded, quickly kissing him on the lips before laying myself across his lap mumbling 'M-kay Daddy.'. I tensed slightly when I felt his cold hands on my skin but started to relax when he slowly began to massage my skin. "When I'm finished with your spanks, you will apologize for rolling your eyes and give me a kiss."

"I was gonna give you a kiss anyways, but okay Daddy." I giggled, earning a quiet laugh in return. For once I was getting a punishment that I deserved, and this time it was spanks from my hot boyfriend and not beatings from Grisha. I wasn't scared like I thought I would be, I kept reminding myself that this was Levi and that if I didn't like spanking then he would stop and we would find some other way to punish me.

I let out a gasp when his hand came down for the first time sending waves of shocks throughout my body. It stung and for a second all I could feel was pain, but then it melted into a warm sensation that made my body heat up. The second one had me moaning and the third had me mewling and begging for more. It was odd, it didn't hurt like I thought it would, it felt amazing. 

"Two more Pup." Levi said and for a second I felt like crying, I wanted more than that, but then I remembered that this was a punishment and I wasn't supposed to get what I wanted. His hand came down again, making me cry out and whine for more. I was in such a daze that I wasn't able to be embarrassed when I heard Levi chuckle at my begging. I moaned loudly when his hand came down for the final time and for a few moments the world went white.

"You took your punishment well, Cupcake." I heard Levi coo once the world came back into focus. "I'm so proud of you Eren." I smiled at that, letting out a yawn and stretching my arms as Levi began to pet my hair and kiss my head. I looked down at my hands, not remembering Levi taking the cuffs off. I pushed that thought aside and quickly gave Levi a kiss.

"I'm sorry for rolling my eyes at you and mouthing off in front of all those boys." I said with a small frown. Levi smiled softly, leaning down and kissing my cheek before pulling me down into the bed with him.

"I accept your apology Cupcake, and for the mouthing off there's no need to apologize. It was a joke and you should feel free to joke with me." He said, smiling when I cuddled up to him. "If there's ever a time in which jokes aren't appropriate I will make sure to tell you." I nodded in agreement, yawning and curling up to him some more.

"Go to sleep Cupcake, we'll take a bath when you wake up." I nodded again, my eyes getting droopy, before I faded into the darkness.

I winced as I tried to take a seat at the bar, my butt really hurt and sitting on it wasn't the best idea. I huffed softly and moved to my knees, getting strange looks from my friends who sat around me. I wasn't too sure on if I should tell them about what happened or not, we told each other everything so far but I knew how they would get if they found out.

"You okay Ren?" Marco asked softly as he set a drink in front of me. I nodded my head and leaned up to take the drink before looking around for anyone who I could listen in, when I didn't see anyone I leaned in close to Marco.

"Levi spanked me and now my butt hurts." I whispered with a quiet giggle making Marco gasp and drop the cup he had in his hand. The shattering glass caught the attention of the others who immediately began to ask what happened.

"When the heck did he spank you!?" Marco shrieked, making Felix grin and squeal in delight. I would never understand Felix's weird obsession with Levi and I, it was sometimes just freaking scary."And why?"

"Umm, a few hours ago." I said with a light blush and a giggle when the memories came back. It was a bit weird, but it was hot and I liked it. "And I rolled my eyes at him by accident. He was so mad at me! But it wasn't scary...it was..." 

"Hot as fuck?" Felix asked, making us laugh, I nodded my head making his wide grin turn into a sneaky smirk. "Oh my god! I would pay so much money to see you two go at it! Levi is hot, and your sexy as fuck! Just seeing you two make out would be like a lifetime's worth of masturbation material."

"Ew Felix!" Marco hissed smacking him while I just sat there blushing. I wasn't really all that attractive, but he was right about Levi. "Okay one! You're sexy as fuck, and two you need to stop thinking out loud." Marco huffed making me squeak in embarrassment, I really needed to get that under control. 

"Sorry." I mumbled with a slight giggle, walking away before they could fanboy all over me again. I walked over to where Armin sat with Bertholdt, Luke, and Ollie. Haze, Declan, and Levi all had to go to Lev's office to get some work done, leaving us all alone with Bertholdt and Jean in charge. Only Jean was focusing on Marco and no one else, so technically Bertholdt was watching them. Felix was the only one who had a hard time listening to him, everyone else was terrified of him, including me. 

"Hiya Armin!" I chirped, jumping on the seat beside him, making sure to land on my knees so that I didn't cause any more harm to my already sore butt. Armin smiled, giving me a little wave, before curling back into Bertholdt's side. They had been a lot more touchy since the incident, and no one really blamed them. I found it really cute and was really happy to see Armin happy and smiling again. "You wanna see the new collar Levi bought me?!"

Armin nodded excitedly and I was a bit surprised to see Bertholdt look over at me in confusion. "He collared you?" He asked, an amused smile sneaking its way onto his face. Armin shushed him when I ducked my head down in embarrassment before asking me to show him.

"He got it to match the new outfit he got me!" I giggled, my embarrassment gone. I pulled down the front of my pink hoodie to show them both the black and pink collar around my neck. The pink side was obviously for the hoodie, and the black was for the pair of high waist shorts that I was wearing. "He even got me a new bear!" I squealed, reaching back to pull out the small pink bear that I kept in my hood.

The bear that I had brought with me from Grisha's was upstairs in our bed, I kept it there to keep it safe and only moved it when we went to and from Levi's house and the club. I only had two stuffed animals, but I already knew that I would soon have many more. I really liked them.

"It's really cute." Armin said with a soft smile, handing the bear back to me. I thanked him before handing the bear over to Luke and Ollie who cooed at my cuteness, instead of the bears, before handing it back to me as well. I tucked the bear back into the safety of my hood with a satisfied smile. 

"I'm gonna go find Levi, I don't care if he's busy." I muttered, Armin nodded and I slid out of the seat before making my way back to Levi's more restricted side of the club. The "club" was divided into many parts, on the first floor there was the club, the play rooms, the kitchen, and Levi's offices and other work rooms. Then there was the upstairs, it was divided into two parts, half of it held Levi's apartment and some other rooms for his workers who stayed there, and the other half was a more private part of the club. I never asked Levi why he had so much stuff hidden within the club, and I wasn't sure if I ever would. If I needed to know, Levi would tell me.

That never stopped me from being curious though. 

I sighed and made my way through the dimly lit halls that lead back to Levi's office and without a second thought I threw open the door only to stop cold at the sight in front of me. Haze and Declan each held an arm of a man who was pinned to the wall while Levi stood in front of him with his fist pulled back. It fell down when the door hit the wall and he turned around with a cold dead rage in his eyes that I had only ever seen on Grisha. They softened immediately when they fell on me, but I would forever have that image locked in my mind. 

"What are you doing in here Cupcake?" He asked in a forced, calm voice, making me flinch in confusion. I looked around the room and saw that he had other men sitting around the table as well, some looked at me with relief, while others still held fear, theirs matched my own. On the table where they sat lies papers, photos, cash, and guns. I looked on Levi's desk to see the same object, one that I had previously thought he used to just scare the men who lied to him.

I looked back to the man on the wall and very slowly, ugly and broken pieces started to clang together in a gruesome way. I wanted them to shatter, but they clicked and snapped in my mind as every event started to make sense. 

Levi did bad things like Grisha does, Levi does bad things. And that day, I handed a man over to him, just because he lied. I had also handed him Grisha. My horrified eyes turned to Levi and he knew that I had figured him out, he took a step towards me but I quickly took one back making him pause.

"Y-you're a b-bad man." I stuttered out weakly, my hand gripping the wall for support, it felt like my legs were about to give away. Hurt flashed through Levi's eyes but I didn't care. "Y-you're like him. What d-did you do t-to him?" I asked with narrowed eyes making him flinch ever so slightly. 

"Eren, calm down." He whispered softly, slowly making his way to me. I took another step back asking him again and glaring harder when he didn't answer. His hand slowly reached out in an attempt to touch me, but I quickly slapped it away before turning around and making a run for it. I could hear him yelling behind me, but I didn't listen to a word he had said, I kept running until I was stopped by Felix and the others who all looked worried.

"Eren, what's wrong?" Armin asked, standing up from Bertholdt's lap and making his way to me. Another piece clashed with the others and I almost wanted to vomit and what it brought. "You all know w-what Levi does d-don't you?" I asked, they all paused, mouths open in surprise. 

"Y-you knew and d-didn't tell me." I whispered more to myself than them, it was as if my whole world shattered, I felt betrayed. "Wh-what did he do to my...what did he do to Grisha." I asked pathetically already knowing I wouldn't like the response. No one said anything, they just all stood there, gaping at me as if I had grown another head. I could hear Levi shouting in the distance and quickly made my way out of the club before any of them could stop me.

My legs, once feeling like jello, suddenly felt like lead as they carried me down the cold damp street. I made my way through mobs of people, instinct taking me where I apparently needed to go. Many agonizing minutes passed as the world flew by me in a blur with nothing coming into focus until I saw the front door of Grisha's house in front of me, in all of its horrifying glory. I made my way up the old broken down steps and opened the unlocked door. That was my first sign that something was wrong.

I made my way through the broken down house, first noticing the dust that had collected since I had left, showing that one had been here for a long time. "G-grisha." I weakly called out, pathetically thinking that I would get a response. "Dad!" The word was a heavy foreign weight on my tongue, I had only said it twice before getting the habit beaten out of me. 

Yes, I hated him, I despised him, but he was my father. He was the only one who could remember my mother and the only one who knew where she was buried. No one had ever told me, and her boyfriend never bothered with me after she had passed. A new weight filled my stomach when I finally realized my calls would get no response, he was dead. Levi had killed him. I had lost my mother and my father. I lost both of my parents. 

It felt like there was a pit in my stomach, growing thorns that had wrapped around my lungs and were now making their way up my throat. My parents were gone. I sighed shakily as I made my way through the house. The house that I knew like the back of my hand, I knew every crack, dent, hole, and stain that littered the house and knew how each and everyone had gotten there. Most had been formed by me, of course that also meant that it was Grisha's fault. 

I ignored the memories as I made my way up the old rickety stairs that I used to climb every day. It felt weird to be back here, I traced my hands up the wall as I made my way up the stairs and towards Grisha's bedroom. I skipped my own room, nothing worth having was in there anyhow, and took the handle of Grisha's door before twisting it and pushing it open.

It made an awful creaking sound, one that made me flinch with fear, I had never been allowed to go in here, but he was dead and couldn't stop me. I flipped on the light, not surprised that it still worked with us being gone for so long, he had wired our electricity to the neighbor's houses long ago. I let out a shaky breath as light began to fill the room only to lose it all when I caught sight of what he had stored in here. The boxes of my mothers things were scattered all over the room. He had taken them away from me and I had thought that he had destroyed it all, but he had in fact kept it.

Her clothing, jewelry, journals, books, photos, everything. Was right here. The awe and happiness of it all made me almost forget about my shattered heart.

Chapter Text

Levi's POV:

No word could amount to how much I had fucked up, and how many ways everything had gone wrong. I should've locked the fucking door, I should've grabbed him before he ran, and I shouldn't have glared at him like that. He looked so scared and so betrayed, because of me. 

I groaned in irritation, running my hands through my hair before gripping the steering wheel once again, it wasn't a big mystery to where he could've gone. He only knew a few places and kept asking about his father. He was no doubt trying to find him, and I knew he wouldn't. His father was dead, I had killed him, and then afterwards I held Eren in my arms. 

"Levi, watch the road." Declan hissed from where he sat beside me. I was no doubt speeding and breaking multiple laws but I didn't care, it's not like I was a model citizen. I sent him a small glare, before pressing the gas harder, ignoring everyone's shocked cries. They had all piled into my fucking car and wouldn't get the fuck out even when I threatened to drive them all into a lake. 

"You're not gonna get to Eren if you fucking crash the car Levi!" Felix yelled from the trunk where he, Luke, and Ollie sat. He was right, and that thought made me slow down. "Levi, I promise you it's gonna be okay, he's just scared and confused. All you have to do is explain things to him and it will all be okay." 

Sometimes Felix really annoyed me, other times he really surprised me, this was one of those surprising times. I sighed heavily, easing back into my seat. He was right, but I wasn't too sure if Eren would forgive me for killing his father. He deserved to die, but Eren didn't see it that way, he was a sweetheart and I was tainting him. 

"This is it." Jean said as we pulled up to an old abandoned house, it honestly looked like a crack house. Grass and trees were overgrown and covering the house , some windows were either completely gone or cracked, the stairs were rotted away, and everything else was falling apart. It was so fucking dirty. "Mikasa said it's pretty bad in there Levi, they didn't see everything but were pretty shaken up from what they did see." Mikasa and Annie were the ones who came here to find Grisha, he wasn't home so they didn't stay long, but I had a feeling it was awful because they didn't tell me about what they saw. 

"Let's go." I sighed, climbing out of the car, not bothering to wait for the others. I climbed up the  stairs, ignoring the way they groaned under my feet, and walked in through the already opened door. The house was quiet, and for a moment I almost doubted that Eren would be here. I went to each room, my cut clenching at each blood stained dent that scattered across the floors and walls in each room.

"What the fuck happened to him." Haze muttered as he and the other walked in, all of them looked like they wanted to vomit and I had a feeling like I looked the same way. I swallowed back the bile in my throat and walked into the kitchen stopping when I saw marks that stretched across the entire floor. I followed them, seeing that they led back to a cabinet with an unlocked chain wrapped around the handles. I opened it against my better judgement and my jaw ticked at what I saw. 

It was filled with dried out blood and claw marks. "Oh my god." Marco gasped as they walked in. "I-is that...T-that's Eren's." Jean quickly covered his eyes leading him and the others out of the room and back outside. I sent Haze and Declan out with them so that none of them had to see what else lay inside the house of horrors. 

I quietly made my way up the stairs and walked down to the end of the hall to a room where a light was on. 

Eren's POV:

I wasn't all that surprised when Levi walked in, I honestly expected him to find me a little sooner. I ignored his presence as I continued to look through one of my mothers photo books. It was the last one she made of me and her before she died, the pictures were scattered in this one, I was a different age in almost every photo. 

I ran my fingers across the photos and listened to Levi sigh softly before stepping further into the room and taking a seat in front of me. I sent him a small glance, briefly meeting his troubled eyes before looking back down at the book. 

"Eren," He softly began making me look up at him once again. "I'm sorry you had to find out about me this way. I didn't want it to happen like this."

"You didn't want it to happen at all." I corrected with narrowed eyes, making him tense a bit. "You do bad things Levi, awful things."

"Eren, I grew up into this, it's not like I had a choice. As much as I would like to, I can't change that." He sighed again, running his hands through his hair before speaking again. "I know I do bad things, Cupcake, but I do bad things to bad people, you have to understand that. I have to do bad things, and a lot of times those bad things make good things happen."

"Like what?" I asked. How would bad things make good things happen? 

"Well, your dad...he was trying to give you away to some people, and I stopped them from taking you." He softly explained, grabbing one of my hands gently. "And when I did that, I also saved a lot of other people from that man, including Felix." I nodded slightly, still a bit confused about it all.

"So if you didn't have to do bad things, you wouldn't?" I asked. "A-and you wouldn't do bad things to me right."

"I want to do naughty bad things to you Cupcake." He joked a bit, making me blush and giggle a bit.  "But I would never harm you Cupcake, and I'm sorry if finding this out hurt you. I can't change what I do and who I am Cupcake, but just because I do bad things for my job doesn't make me a bad person like you think I am."

"I'm just...confused about all this Levi." I admitted, looking down at my hands. I didn't expect anything like this to be Levi's job and I wasn't expecting that everyone knew and kept it from me. I wasn't expecting that me running away would result in all this. "I...I don't approve of some things you do. I guess it is something you can't change, but I don't know if I can be okay with this, you killed my dad Levi."

He deserved awful things, yes, but death? Killing someone wasn't something I could just be on board with.

"I know Eren," He sighed. "I'm not going to lie and say I regret it because I don't. I'd do it over a million times if I had to, the things he did to you, and the things he did to other people...he had it coming, Eren. Every man is served what he deserves."

"No one deserves death Levi." I cried out pathetically, pushing his hands away when he went to reach for me. "He was awful, I can admit that, but he was still my dad."

"Eren, the things he did caught up to him, I'm sorry that I was the one who had to make him reap what he sowed, but that's how it happened. That's how my world works, we can't change that." He reasoned, desperately hoping that I would realize his side. I did and I hated that I did.

I wanted to stick with my morals, and fight for what I thought was right, but I knew deep down that this was the path that Grisha set out on all on his own. I hated that it was Levi who ended his life, but like he said it couldn't be changed. This was Levi's life, these were his laws and what his world saw as justice, it was me who had to decide if I was willing to forgive Levi and live in his world.

A part of me hated that I was. 

I loved him far too much to let him go, even if what he did shook me to my core, even if he killed my father, I couldn't live without him. I needed him in my life.

"I'll never fully agree with what you do Levi," I mumbled, my eyes meeting his briefly. "But I can't live without having you in my life."

"Eren," Levi called softly, making me look back up at him. "I love you."

"I love you too Levi." I breathed, crawling into his lap and hugging him. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, making me laugh and nuzzle into his neck. We sat for a while, breathing each other in and processing the words spoken between us. After a while I broke the silence. "Do you think we could take all this stuff home? It's all my moms stuff." He nodded into my shoulder, not even looking at anything I was talking about making me roll my eyes. Oops.

"I'll need to call for another car then, all of our friends piled into mine so there's no room." He mumbled, making me gasp. They all came to look for me? I smiled brightly, holding onto Levi tighter before pulling away and grabbing the photo book I had been previously looking at. "Which is sorta a good thing, because they can all load up the stuff." 

I laughed loudly, shaking my head before climbing out of Levi's lap and grabbing the box of my mothers jewelry. I walked out of the room and made my way outside, only to be tackled down by all of my friends. 

"We're so sorry Eren!" Marco and Felix cried while Armin giggled from where he lied on top us. "They cried the whole way here." I snorted when Marco and Felix began to scream about him lying and gently pushed them all off of me before standing up once again.  I shook off the grass before picking up the box and holding it to my chest once again.

"I'll call Sasha for a car," Levi began, while pulling out his phone. "You four go up and grab all of his mothers boxes." Haze and Declan nodded, and they along with Jean and Erwin made their way into the house. I let out a breath, reaching out and taking Levi's hand, smiling softly when he squeezed back. 

~

We were back at Levi's castle, with me and my friends watching Levi and everyone else unload the car. I was surprised at the amount of things Grisha had kept, I truly thought that I had lost it all, but he had simply locked it all away in his room. 

"Come on Eren!" Levi called as he carried in the last box, I quickly followed him into the house and up the stairs. "Do you still wanna have your own room, or do you want to share one?"

"I want to share, but keep the other one for when I have sleep overs." I replied as we made our way down the hall. All the boxes were piled in the hall and I helped Levi move them all into his room- our room. Once we were done, we went back downstairs to the kitchen where everyone else was waiting. 

"None of us feel like cooking, wanna order some pizza?" Haze asked as we walked into the kitchen, Levi looked at me and I nodded, I really liked pizza.  Everyone else nodded and Haze pulled out Ollie's phone and called whatever place they ordered pizza from. 

I didn't pay attention to what he ordered, and busied myself with climbing onto the counter to take a seat. It was a bit too tall for me, and I wasn't that strong so it was a bit of a struggle. After a few more minutes of me struggling, Levi came over and lifted me onto it making me blush. He moved between my legs, giving me a quick kiss before turning around and leaning back against the counter.

"How long will the pizza take? I'm really hungry." I mumbled while wrapping my arms around Levi's shoulders. He shrugged saying that it could take an hour with how much they ordered, plus Levi's house was pretty far away. I pouted slightly, leaning back against the counter with a sigh.

"We could go skinny dipping while we wait." Haze Suggested while wiggling his eyebrows. Jean laughed, while Erwin and Levi scoffed at his idea. I wasn't sure what skinny dipping was, but I was too afraid to ask.

"That would lead to you all having sex in my pool, so no." Levi said sternly, making Haze groan. Declan shook his head, before getting up and heading out back. "Well I'm gonna so swim, call me when the pizzas are here." Luke quickly followed him out and slowly everyone else joined until it was only Levi and I in the kitchen.  

"Are we gonna go out there?" I asked, looking out the window to watch them all jump into the pool. They were all laughing and splashing each other and I gasped in surprise when Haze and Declan picked up Ollie and threw him into the deep end. Luke started to laugh at him, but it turned into a scream when they turned and grabbed him.

"I don't feel like swimming but we can go sit out there if you want." He suggested. I smiled brightly agreeing and skipped outside when Levi helped me get down from the counter. We sat on the couch and continued to watch them all goof off in the pool. I sighed softly leaning back into Levi, I was still a bit upset with him, but we could deal with that later. I just wanted to relax and spend time with my family.

'Family' I thought with a smile, I really liked that.

I sighed softly and leaned further into Levi as I watched all of our friends goof off in the pool. They were playing a game called chicken and Felix and Marco kept cheating. Marco would just leap onto someone when he got close to losing and Felix continued to swipe peoples feet out from under them. It was funny, but I wasn't so sure that the others thought that. Most of them began to refuse to play with them. Except for Erwin and Jean of course, Marco didn't have the guts to cheat when he was going against Jean.

"How long have Jean and Marco known each other?"  I asked Levi, looking up only to find him already staring down at me. 

"They've been bestfriends since they were kids." He said with a small shrug, sending them a glance before looking back at me. "Actually, I'm pretty sure their mothers were friends before the two were born, so I don't think they've ever been apart."

"How did Jean end up...working for you." I asked hesitantly. I wasn't fully okay with what Levi does, but I kept reminding myself that neither of us could change it, he was forced into this. Part of me wondered what would've happened if he wasn't. It was strange to think that one little thing like that could alter so many things. 

"He was a dumb kid." Levi said with a snort, making me giggle, he always acted like he was much older than everyone. He might be one of the oldest, but none of them are that far apart in age. "He got addicted to some stuff and me being the hero I am got his ass to quit."

"How'd you do that?" I asked in awe. Grisha was addicted to a lot of things, and it was impossible to get him to quit. 

"I beat his ass and called his boyfriend who also ended up kicking his ass." He said with a smirk making me burst into laughter. It was a lie obviously, but the image of little Marco beating up Jean was very funny. 

"Seriously Levi." I giggled, smacking him playfully, I really wanted to know.

"Alright, alright." He laughed gently, making me smile. "I found him one day stumbling through the streets with Marco screaming and chasing him. He happened to bump into me, and I wasn't the nicest person back then and ended up smacking the shit out of the brat. But then I saw his face and it sorta reminded me of when my mother went through addiction. He and Marco reminded me of myself and my mom. I couldn't help her, but I could help him, and so I did."

I looked up at Levi in complete shock and awe. I wasn't sure how to respond to a story like that, was there a correct response? Didn't seem like it, so I did the next best thing and climbed into his lap and wrapped my arms around him. He sighed softly, and held me tight making me smile softly.

"You're a good person Levi and I'm sorry that I said otherwise. You may do bad things but you have an amazing heart." I whispered softly, making him flinch slightly out of what I assumed was shock. I pulled him impossibly closer before releasing him and sitting back down beside him. I could feel him staring but I kept my eyes on my friends while fighting off a blush. 

"I love you, you know that right? Like I really love you." He suddenly said, making me gasp and turn to him with wide eyes. I knew he loved me, he's said it before but this...this was different. "It's you Eren, I can't really describe it anymore but it's you. You're the only one I will ever want. I belong with you, and to you. You're the only thing that matters. You're my home. You're my good. You're my everything and I love you."

I stared at him utterly speechless and breathless. How the heck did I respond to that.

"L-l-levi." I stuttered weakly, causing him to smile softly. He took my face into my hands and started deeply into my eyes, glancing at my lips before biting his own. My breath once again hitched at the action and he smirked when he took notice before looking into my eyes once more. 

I couldn't breathe. 

He leaned in closer, his hot breath fanning over my lips warming them slightly. I weakly grasped his wrists arching into his hold, trying to get closer to him and his lips. He chuckled lightly at the action before brushing his lips against mine briefly. I was going to go crazy. 

I whined out pathetically into the air making his fierce eyes meet mine again. He still had the stupid smirk on his face, but he finally took pity on me and planted his lips hotly onto mine. His hands flew to my waist and mine went to his hair, giving a sharp tug as I fell back onto the couch, pulling him with me.

"You've got me wrapped around your pinky with a ball and chain and you don't even know it." He whispered briefly before pushing his lips back onto mine. They were deliciously soft and warm and molded against mine perfectly. I sighed into the kiss, feeling his hot tongue swipe across my bottom lip before diving into my mouth. He would never need permission. 

His tongue danced with my own, coaxing it out of my mouth and into his own making me blush madly while attempting to keep up with the kiss. Our tongues danced in sync for a moment before he thrust his back into my mouth and began to explore as if it were a cave that he wanted to discover. 

"Levi." I whispered, pulling myself away from him in an attempt to catch my breath. We were both panting harshly, staring into each other's eyes as the silence swallowed u- Wait a second, silent? My eyes widened and I quickly looked to my right only to see them all staring at us with wide eyes and opened mouths. Levi followed my gaze before cursing under his breath.

"God dammit Felix! When did you get a fucking camera?!" Levi hissed, making me glance over to Felix who was in fact recording us. His eyes widened and he quickly put the camera before sending us an innocent smile.

"Um.....Well you two were giggling and being cute so I grabbed my phone and got some pictures, and then you started making out so I started to record like any smart person would do. I can sell this and make millions." He laughed wickedly, making me question if he was joking or being completely serious.  Levi only sighed in annoyance before pulling me out of the chair and leading me back to the house. The pizza will be here shortly, get the fuck out of my pool."

I could hear the others laughing, but they got out of the pool, getting dried before following us into the house. 

~

After they all got dressed and dried, they piled into the living room, waiting for the pizza to arrive.

"Well this is boooring." Felix sighed out before pulling out his phone. "Why don't we have a little dance party." He suggested with a wink, making the rest of us groan. He laughed evilly before hooking his phone up to the speakers and searching through his phone. Weird music began to fill the room, making some groan and others laugh. 

Felix began to dance around the room, and walked over to a blushing Marco while mouthing the lyrics. "No escaping when I start, once I'm in I own your heart." Marco laughed loudly, grabbing onto Armin's arm before following Felix onto the table.

"Oh, do you know what you got into? Can you handle what I'm bout to do?" They each yelled while swaying their hips and throwing their heads back. "Cause it's about to get rough for you." Erwin, Jean, and Bertholdt watched them with sharp amused eyes, while everyone else laughed around them. "Oh, I bet you thought I was soft and sweet." 

I turned to Levi wondering what the heck was going on, only to see him laughing as well. He looked down at me with a smile nudging me to get and join them. I shook my head quickly, a heat sneaking its way up from my neck. I couldn't dance."It's alright, you'll be fine, baby, I'm in control. Take the pain, take the pleasure, I'm the master of both." 

"Oh, come on! Who doesn't love Lambert!? He's a god!" Felix shrieked, making Luke and Ollie giggle as they made their way back from the kitchen with bottles and cups. Who the heck was Lambert? "Oh fine! I'll play a song you know." He grinned, before rushing to his phone and all too soon that sinful song began to blast through all the speakers.

"Something lately drives me crazy, has to do with how you make me-" My cheeks began to burn as Felix started to sing the song to me while dancing like he did that day. "Flirt with you, you're all about it. Tell me why I feel unwanted." And the little jerk even sent me puppy eyes.

I was suddenly pushed up from the couch and thrusted over to where the other boys were dancing. I was handed a drink, and sent a glance to Levi, who only shrugged as he watched me with careful eyes. "Say that you want me every day.That you want me every way. That you need me." I hesitantly tasted the drink, it was a bit sour but tasted good nonetheless and I quickly downed the rest before I was handed another.

"Pull me off to darkened corners, Where all other eyes avoid us. Tell me how I mesmerize you, I love you and despise you. Back to the crowd where you ignore me, Bedroom eyes to those before me. How am I supposed to handle, Lit the fuse and miss the candle." The music blared as my hips were grabbed and forced to move with the time and beat of the song. I giggled slightly, looking over to Levi once again, and was happy to find him smiling. I turned back to the others with a happy grin.

The night went on, Pizza boxes scattered around the house along with empty bottles of who knows what. We were all scattered around the living room, music still blaring, and playing truth or dare. It was a very stupid game honestly, you were doomed no matter what you picked. 

"Alright Eren, truth or dare?" Ollie asked in a suggestive whisper, making me gulp and hesitantly answer back with 'dare'. He grinned evilly making me instantly regret my choice, but it was too late now. "I dare you to put on a tease show for Levi. I'll pick the song and outfit for you."

My eyes widened at that, and I looked at Levi for some sort of help, only to see that his eyes sparked with eagerness and delight at the dare. I sighed in irritation before hesitantly getting up and following Ollie up to Levi's room. 

He pulled out a black collar and strapped around my neck before moving towards the closet with an eager smile on his face. I groaned loudly when I saw him pull out a pair of thigh high socks and a pair of blood red heels. Those were soon followed by a white skirt and a red cropped shirt. I sighed and hesitantly began to undress and he walked over to the drawer, where we pulled out a pair of black panties. 

"I'm gonna go set up, watch this video and do exactly what he does okay?" Ollie asked as he handed me his phone. I nodded, setting it down and hitting play and began to get dressed.

~

I walked down the stairs, my cheeks burning red and my hair a mess from the insane amount of times I ran my hands through it due to stress. Everyone had cleared the room, leaving only Felix, Ollie, and Levi. I took a deep breath and stood in the doorway, looking at the back of Levi's head. This was either going to go really good, or really bad. 

Ollie looked up from his phone and sent me a wink before pulling Felix out to the kitchen before an unfamiliar beat began to play. I took another breath and walked into the room, trying to remember everything from the video. Thankfully years of solitude really helped me work on my memory.

"I look and stare so deep in your eyes, I touch on you more and more every time." I slowly made my way further into the room before I made my way around the couch and sensually began to walk towards Levi. His eyes widened as he looked at me from head to toe before he finally met my gaze. I took yet another deep breath and the beat began to speed up and grow in volume before I completely dropped myself onto his lap and latched my mouth onto his. The video looked more like a sex tape, but a dare was a dare and I had to do it. 

"Got me lookin so crazy right now, your loves got me lookin so crazy right now." I raised myself up, using my hands to tilt his head back, and began to move my hips to the beat of the music. Our lips disconnected and I let out a cry when my head was forced back to make room for his harsh bites. I let out a moan as his lips made their way down my neck and towards my collar bone. "Got me hoping you'll page me right now. You're kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now."

I quickly pushed him back before getting back up, just as the music began to slow down once more. 'When I talk to my friends so quietly' I slowly unhook the back of my shirt, letting the straps fall to the ground leaving only a small piece of cloth to cover my chest. The heels went next, and after that I dropped the skirt making Levi groan and lick his lips. 

This was going fairly well.

I dropped myself back into his lap running my hands up to his shoulders before sinking my nails into them. He let out a hiss before reaching back and ripping the shirt off of me completely before throwing me down onto the couch. I moaned softly, my hips once again bucking up to the wild beat of the song, before I just let it fade out completely.

I feel like I just got tricked into banging Levi.

"Eren." He groaned, and just like that, I didn't care if I was tricked or not. 

I just wanted Levi.

~

I ignored the sounds around us and pulled Levi's hair harshly, he groaned into my mouth again before pulling away to take a deep breath. He panted and I used the time to rip off the t-shirt before latching us back together. The fabric of the couch was beginning to burn my back because of his hard, insistent thrusts. 

As if he could sense my discomfort, Levi switched our positions and I was now on top of his lap while he lay back against the couch.

"Eren," He breathed against my lips while pushing me back. "We gotta stop baby, I don't want Felix trying to sell a fucking sex tape. We can finish this later." I groaned in irritation, earning a harsh slap on my thigh from Levi, which only drove me to want more. I moaned into his chest, going completely lax in his hold making him chuckle lightly.

"I promise we can finish this later, when all of the weirdo's are out of my house." He said while running his fingers through my disheveled hair. I nodded slowly, knowing he was right, more so about Felix trying to record us. I shivered at the thought.

"Can we go get me some new clothes?" I asked, casting a glance at my discarded clothes on the floor. "I'm pretty sure you ripped my old ones." Levi let out another laugh, and nodded his head before picking me up and taking me upstairs to his room. I jumped onto his bed curling up in the sheets while Levi threw open the drawers and began to dig through them. I let out a small yelp when he suddenly chucked a pair of sweatpants and a shirt at me.

"That was mean!" I yelled half-heartedly with a large pout etched onto my face. Levi ignored my shouts and continued to get dressed, before finally making his way over to me and dressing me. "You bit my lip open." I noted as I licked at the bleeding wound, it didn't hurt though, it sorta felt good?

"Sorry about that Cupcake." Levi said with a soft smile as he lightly ran his thumb over the spilt skin. He looked away from my lips and glanced up into my eyes, slowly tracing my jaw with his fingers until his entire hand cupped my cheek. Grey eyes clashed with my own odd, discolored ones, I had always hated my eyes. One was greenish blue like my mothers, the other gold like my fathers had once been according to old photos, in the ten years that I had lived with him I had only seen dull brown ones filled with hatred. 

I pushed the memories aside and focused on Levi who was staring at me as if I had hung up all the stars in the sky, and according to what he said at the pool, I guess I sorta did that in his eyes. I had never really thought that I would be so helplessly in love with someone like Levi. He was perfect in almost every way, and I had more flaws than anyone could withstand. But he loved me anyway.

"We should probably go back downstairs before they break the door down." I whispered softly into the limited space between us. For a moment, Levi didn't say anything and continued to stare into my eyes in a daze, but then he nodded with a soft sigh and pulled away from me before leading me down the stairs. 

Everyone was packed into the kitchen and my stomach growled, quite loudly, at the sight of all the pizza spread out on the counter. I quickly made my way over to the table and quickly grabbed an entire box before running back into the living room where Levi was waiting for me.

"Eren, you little shit!" Luke screamed, as he chased me into the next room. "You took my fucking favorite!"  I let out a proud giggle and awkwardly cuddled the box to my chest so that he couldn't take it away from me.

"There's more in the kitchen Luke." Declan sighed from where he stood in the doorway, he was trying not to laugh and I could tell that it was only adding to Luke's annoyance. "Seriously Luke, we got two boxes of that barbeque, bacon, and all that other shit you're obsessed with." And just like that, Luke smiled like a little kid and skipped off to the kitchen, sneaking a quick kiss with Declan on the way.

"You two have some issues when it comes to food." Declan commented while shaking his head. I ignored him, and placed the pizza on my lap before throwing open the lid and grabbing a piece. Pizza was probably my favorite food by far, that and ice cream. Levi nodded at Declan's statement, watching me scarf down my piece of pizza with wide eyes.

I was hungry.

"Can we have ice cream after this? The mint kind?" I asked, looking up at Levi, with my mouth completely stuffed with pizza, he grimaced for a second before his features turned oddly serious. I swallowed what was in my mouth before looking up at him with curious eyes.

"How do you have a favorite flavor of ice cream, if you've never had it before?" He asked, looking down at me. I felt that something was off, but I couldn't quite remember why he wasn't aware of me having ice cream before.

"Hanji let me have it at the bar once! We tried every flavor! Mints my favorite flavor, but I also like the chocolate chip. Don't you remember she sent you a photo?" Levi pulled out his phone and spent a few minutes scrolling through things before he finally stopped. I crawled into his lap and looked at his phone to see the picture that he was looking at. I was in a short black skirt with a matching  "crop top" as Armin calls them, and a jean jacket. My feet were covered with the stockings that went up to my thighs, but other than those they were bare. I was looking at the camera in a blinded daze, a spoon in my mouth, and behind me there were rows of small bowls filled with ice cream. 

"Mint?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, and I nodded excitedly. "I'll have a little talk with Hanji and have her get some for you back at the bar." I let out a little squeal and tackled him down to the floor in an attempt to hug him.
