Chapter 2: Why?

I sat up like a shot, attempting to grab the cover back from Levi before he could take it off me. But it was too late. Levi snatched the cover away and revealed what I'd spent the past few years desperately trying to hide.

I, Eren Jaeger, am a girl.

And now I sat in front of my corporal, almost completely naked, my breasts on full display while we stared at each other with wide eyes.

After a second of us both just sitting there in pure shock a small sob escaped my lips. That was it, game over. He knew.

This is exactly what I'd been dreading everyday for the past few years. I let my guard slip and now he knew the truth. All the sneaking around and lowering my voice and binding my breasts to be able to pass as a boy, it was all for nought. It was all for nought because now Levi knew. All of it, because at the end of the day, I am a girl.

In his shock he'd loosened his grip on the cover and I quickly snatched it back. Not like it matter that much anymore. That seemed to pull him out of his daze, his eyes going back to normal but his still stared at me.

I pulled the cover up to hide my chest. I choked out another sob and, just as quickly as Levi pulled off my cover, my eyes filled with tears.

I looked down as tears started rolling down my face. It was all for nothing.

"You're...?" Levi partly questioned. I covered my mouth with a trembling hand and nodded a little. I didn't know what Levi was going to do but in that moment I was terrified.

I don't think I've ever been so scared of another human being.

We stayed like that for a while, Levi standing there quietly while I cried. As I sat there shaking I was completely vulnerable to him. And that thought only made me cry harder.

We were down here all alone and he could do anything he wanted to me. He's a lot stronger than me, I knew there was nothing I could do against him. I was completely defenceless.

"Eren.." Levi spoke up after a while and lightly placed a hand on my shoulder. I yelped, scrambling away from him. My back slammed into the wall and I stared at him fearfully.

He held his hands up and stepped away from the bed.

"I-I'll come to training.. P-Please just wait outside" I pleaded, still crying a little.

He looked at me for another moment before sighing and shaking his head. Huh?

"Wait here" He instructed. Oh god, what is he planning?

He turned around and walked out. I wasn't sure where he was going but the second I heard him disappear up the steps I jumped out of bed. I quickly wrapped my chest up tight. I used these elasticated bandages which compressed my chest. I slipped my shirt on over them and put my pants back on.

I sat on my bed, pulling my knees to my chest. And I was left to worry about what Corporal Levi would do when he came back.

*Levi's P.O.V*

I sighed as I left Eren's room. He- She looked terrified.. I clearly wasn't going to be able to calm her down myself. She won't even let me near her.

So I went upstairs to get Mikasa. They grew up together, she must have known about this. As much as I hated to admit it, I knew I needed her help here.
