Eren's Second Brother [AOT reader book]

Season 3: P1 (Part 14)

You were sweeping the floor with Eren. Somehow you found yourself on cleaning duty, things were only made worse as Jean walked in, carrying loads of supplies.

"Oi Jean, wiped your feet?"

"Heuh? Have you seen what we're carrying!?"

You gritted your teeth. "Dipshit, Levi will have our heads for this..."

"How will he have yours? aren't you a squad leader now anyways?"

You looked to Jean, wondering what the hell was going on in his head.

"A) Squad leader is still a lower rank then captain. Levi is like 3'rd in command of the entire corps or something. B) No? Where the hell did you get that idea from?"

Jean cocked his head.

"I guess they didn't tell you huh, well I overheard some people talking about making you a squad leader a while back, I think your performance impressed them when we recovered Eren here." Jean walked over and gave Eren a noogie. "Besides. I thought it would have been obvious considering people were treating you with more respect then normal, although it may be due to the uncertainty of your new 'titan shield' ability or whatever..."

You sighed, turning your back as Jean and Eren started getting into a argument with Sasha about stealing food.

Mikasa walked in, placing wood by the fire-place. Historia not too far behind.

"Hey Mikasa."

"Y/N."

Now that your short greeting was over with, you got back to cleaning, well at least that was the case until Levi entered.

"I can tell just from walking in here that the cleaning was atrocious. However we can discuss this later. Eren, Y/N. Hange's in one of her 'moods' again."

You sighed again. Life was busy as hell and you almost never got more then a hour or two off that wasn't the end of the day.

_______________________________________

You bit into your hand again. Another spark of lightning hit you as your titan emerged. 

You weren't capable of doing anything this time, your titan's spine broke from the weight of the upper half and collapsed. You managed to tear yourself from the shell, rolling off and colliding with the floor as you did so.

Four. That's my limit eh? Eren can pull off two before exhaustion and I can pull 3, albeit far weaker then any of Eren's...

You immediately passed out.

You sat at the table with the rest of the 104'ths remaining top 10, Levi, Moblit and Hange.

"So he didn't talk, nor do the MP's know about our knowledge of the Reiss family..." Levi summarised.

You were deep in your own thoughts however...

Should I tell them? I mean it's better now then never but it sure as hell is gonna be awkward...

You cleared your throat, standing as you did so.

"Now what I'm about to tell you does have relevance to this. But it will also take a while to get to the main point and also highly focuses around my life, just pointing it out, as there also means there is a titan shifter somewhat connected to the Reiss bloodline." Everybody nodded, it was too late to back out now. "You all know me as Y/N L/N, but that isn't actually the case. I was born in Shiganshina back in the year 844, to the Yeager family. I am Eren's brother and Mikasa's adoptive brother. When the Colossal attacked, I got separated from my family and got stuck in a alley-way with a titan closing in. As I was being grabbed, another titan, which has intelligence, saved me by punching the first. I then passed out and lost all my previous memories. From there I was adopted by the Reiss family and was lead to believe I was one of their own. When I went to join the cadets, I picked a new name for myself as being a noble would presumably cause trouble. During Trost I regained my memories when I saw Eren punching another titan, I shortly revealed the secret to them later. Now what that means is that I know where they live, and where they might be if not there. Now despite this whole revelation of me technically being a noble by law, I still want you all to refer to my last name as L/N. Got it?"

Everybody nodded, however it would be cut short by someone barging in with a urgent message.

You leaned against the chimney. Trost was half insane over the rations being handed out and the scouts were stretched thin as it was.

"Have you two ever heard of Kenny The Ripper?" Levi asked.

You hadn't so you merely listened to what Nifa had to say.

"Wasn't he some serial killer who slit the throats of over 100 MP's?"

Levi nodded.

"He's real, lived with him when I was a child."

"Not the time to be making jokes captain."

There was a moments silence, you heard something from behind you.

"NIFA!" Levi yelled. You were already spinning around with your blade out.

There was a loud clank as you felt something blitz through your skull and stomach, before you knew it you were falling and passing out.
