I do not own Attack on Titan or any of the characters mentioned.

(Levi P.O.V.)
I hurriedly got ready for school. I wanted to talk to Erwin in private about Eren. Maybe he knew something and would be able to tell me. All I know is that I will not be able to think clearly unless I figure out what is going on.

That dream is still in my head and it sends chills down my spine. Looking back and seeing Eren the way he was, it really had me scared shitless. Although I really do not understand why I am trying so hard. That dream could have meant nothing in the end.

But still here I am, walking into the school grounds and up to Erwin who stood alone, probably waiting for Hanji and Petra.

"Hey Levi."

"Hi."

Erwin stared at me for a moment. "You want to say something?"

I nodded then opened my mouth to ask, "Do you know why Eren is so hyperactive?"

His eyes widened at the question, he generally looked uncomfortable with the subject.

"I mean... you don't have to-"

"Eren has had a tough go." Erwin spoke, "But I don't think you can handle what needs to be said."

"I'm sure I can keep up."

The tall blonde silently pondered on whether or not to tell me. "I don't know, it's not really my story to tell."

"I promise not to tell anyone, I just want to know about him."

Erwin sighed in defeat.

"I don't know why you want to know in the first place but I will tell you, only because you seem to have been through some shit as well."

I nodded.

"Eren grew up in Germany until he turned twelve, that was the time that his parents moved here to Maria City, oh you should have seen him in the seventh grade, the poor kid barely spoke English and was teased for it."

He paused to see me nod in understanding. He then continued, "A couple years ago, after our friendship began there was a problem at his house, a robber had broken in and shot his parents dead, the robber then shot himself for an unknown reason, Eren watched as his parents died and went into a state of shock and hysterics."

(A/N Trigger Scene)
"He came to school depressed and would... would c-cut himself." Erwin stumbled over the words at just the thought.

"Of course, we didn't know he cut until Jean and him got into an argument which led to Jean grabbing Eren's wrist, we all found out and talked to him, he told us everything, from his parents death to the robbers death."

(A/N Trigger End)

I still did not say anything, mainly because I was to shocked and disturbed to say something.

Again the blonde continued with the story.

"Ever since that time Eren has not wanted us to worry about him so he puts up a happy front, the kids got a good heart but sometimes he needs to realize that it is okay to put his worries onto us, look Levi please be good to him, he deserves it."

I nodded and took in everything. That was why. Eren has hidden depression. That was the answer to all of my questions.

"Thank you Erwin."

He turned his gaze to me and probably noticed the little pain written on my face but I quickly covered it up. He smiled slightly.

"No problem, but all of us are waiting for your story as well."

My head whipped in the direction at which he began walking.

"My story?"

Erwin looked over his shoulder at me.

"You yourself are a mysterious person Levi." With that said he walked through the school doors, leaving me standing there with a dumbfounded expression.

My story huh? Tch, as if.
