CHAPTER 12
— love is in the air

"annie, i love you, a lot trust me i do, but if you don't let go of me right now i swear."

the way your words rolled off your tongue as a threat caused annie to release you of her hold. it wasn't because she was afraid—it was far from that. you were determined to see eren and would go to great lengths to do so, especially in your current state—fueled by intense anger that started with your conversation with levi and only grew during eren's trial.

you couldn't comprehend why would levi ask you to accompany him to eren's trial then only being there to practically benefit the military police? he completely put you on the spot by making eren aware of the harm he caused you and having to confirm it to the court.

then, levi had the audacity to physically hurt eren. you were forced to watch as your own father kneed, punched, kicked, stomp, and slapped the boy who single handedly carried a giant boulder over his shoulders. you could only watch in horror as he beat the crap out of someone you desperately cared for.

levi was unbelievable.

when you opened the door to the room in which eren was, you were met with the sight of hange examining the inside of eren's mouth, babbling on about how excited she was to get to know and experiment with the young titan shifter.

several seconds later hange moved away from eren and he was now sitting on the couch with a small bag of ice held up to his mouth in attempt to ease the pain that levi caused him, but to be fair, it was nowhere near to what you experienced.

as a father he was trying to even the score, but as a captain he was trying to prove a point to the rest of the court room. either way, physically hurting eren was on his bucket list.

you noticed levi sitting next to eren, one leg over the other as his arm extended behind him. then there was erwin who was minding his business by the bookshelves; constantly pulling out and skimming through the pages of different books, shaking his head when something caught his attention.

"what the hell? you're just going to sit next to eren like that like you didn't just beat the shit out of him!?"

levi got up from his seat, "what exactly is the problem here? i saved his life—you should be thanking me, not yelling stupid shit."

you grabbed him by the collar and stared at each other with a menacing expression and cold glare. eren, hange, erwin, and even annie who stood outside the room could feel the heated tension rise from your antics.

"you knocked out his fucking tooth. what the hell was that?! what type of rescue plan was that?"

levi rolled his eyes at your words and grabbed your wrist from his collar, giving it a tight squeeze before forcefully removing it.

"watch your fucking mouth (y/n). i warned you once before and you're lucky all i did was knock out a tooth after the shit he did to you."

eren couldn't help but gasp. the idea of inflicting you with so much pain was something he was unable to comprehend. he cared about you with every fiber in his body and would fight off any person who even thought about you in a bad way.

all erwin and hange could think about during this moment was that they needed to get you two away from each other and fast.

erwin didn't have to drag levi out of a room. levi would probably cut off his arm if he did something like that. so, all he said was that they needed to talk about something important and they left the room, hange following behind and sending you a worried smile before shutting the door.

the second the door closed you let out a deep, frustrated sigh. "he pisses me off sometimes," you muttered, taking a seat next to eren.

eren didn't say a word. instead he extended his arms, waiting for you to embrace him in a hug.

he'd never do something like this, but after a while eren got used to the hugs you constantly offered him and eventually, he found himself enjoying them.

the feeling of your hands around his neck while his own were snaked around your waist—the feeling of your breast up against his chest drove him crazy. he hates to say it but he loved when you squished up against him extra tight.

it was a ridiculous thing to admit, but he was still a teenage boy.

"hands off you suicidal manic," annie suddenly slammed the door open and pulled you away from eren, practically dragging you off the couch.

she stood next to you, her hand placed on your shoulder and it couldn't help but make eren jealous. such a simple, small, and innocent touch that made him furious.

"don't touch (y/n) with your filthy hands."

eren, confused, raised his hands to his face and unsurprisingly enough, they were dirty. he hadn't even noticed they were covered with small droplets of dried blood from earliers beating and dirt from the courtroom floor that's accumulated over time.

"don't say that annie—it's rude." you said while pouting at her and moving closer towards eren the moment annie lifted her hand from your shoulder.

you grabbed eren's hand and held it close to your heart, "i'm glad your back, eren." the way you smiled made his heart race and he noticed how beautifully your cheeks adored a light shade of pink.

annie, who was watching the two from the sidelines felt horrible. all she wanted to do was rip his hands off you yours.
