Eren's POV:

We were being honored as the nine survivors of the battle of Shiganshina by Queen Historia herself. Being queen really suited her. She was what the people needed.

I had straightened out my jacket as I looked into the mirror in the hall away from everyone.

"Hey, brat." I turned around and there stood Levi behind me.

"H-hey Levi." I walked closer to him but didn't make any physical contact. Still had to be careful but it was worth it. That was until he reached up to kiss my cheek. I felt my cheeks burn red.

"I'm sorry for throwing you into a jail cell. But you know I can't let you off the hook just because we're together." Together? We really are together? I felt my stomach burn with happiness.

"I know." I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

"Anyway, we need to get going." He went to turn around but I grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him back. He was against my chest and he looked up into my eyes, seemingly shocked by my slight dominance. I put both hands at the sides of his face and placed a deep kiss on his lips. Our lips moved in sync as he put his arms around my waist. Continuing our moment of passion, I broke away from the kiss and reached down to his neck, sucking lightly. I felt him grip onto my jacket and tightened his jaw.

"Not yet." I whispered, finding a spot on his neck that would be unnoticeable if I were to leave a mark.

"E-Eren." Was all he managed to get out. I took my lips off the spot I was attacking and looked at him with devilish eyes. I grabbed his hands that were wrapped around my waist and backed us up until he was pinned against the wall with his hands at both sides of his head. "Brat, I'm serious." I roughly attached my lips back to his and started to grind against what seemed to be growing in his pants. He was stiff after realizing he had let out a soft moan. After that, he had pushed me off of him. I couldn't help but smirk at what I had just done. His cheeks were flushed and he cleared his throat, pressing down on his jacket to smooth it out. "We need to go."

The 9 survivors had lined up in front of Queen Historia and we knelt down and bowed our heads. We were meant to be given medals for our heroic acts. Once it was my turn to receive the award, I moved my head for her to place it around my neck. After, she had placed her hand out for me to bestow a kiss. But once my lips made contact, something I hadn't expected occurred. More of my father's memories. He was screaming at a family. A woman. He was begging her to kill all the Titans. But then...he killed them...all of them. There was more. It was me. I would unleash the Colossal Titans and wipe out humanity outside the walls.

I felt angry, distraught, horrified. I was frozen in a trance as so much information had come to me. I hadn't realized I was still holding Queen Historia's hand.

"Eren?" She softly said. I couldn't speak. So much had flashed through my mind; how much more is there?

The ceremony ended. I was still shook up from what I had just seen. It was night at this point. So I went outside to get some fresh air.

"What happened at the ceremony?" I jumped at the sound of Levi's voice behind me.

"N-nothing." I stuttered.

"Didn't seem like nothing." He clearly wasn't convinced. He walked up next to me. But neither of us turned to look at each other. "There's something wrong and you need to tell me."

"It's nothing, Levi." I looked at him with an assuring smile. He still didn't buy it. Looking back at the moon, I laced our fingers together.

Is that really what I become? Was Levi right all along? No, I wouldn't do that. Would I?
