Chapter 10: Past

Levi's Pov:

I stood watching him struggle with 25 lb dumbells. I currently had Eren sitting on the preacher bench curling 25 lbs to gauge his strength. I slowly lowered my hands in front of me so that when Eren brought down the dumbbell his hand rested on mine.

"Come on brat don't quit push yourself to your limits and past them, give me three more perfect curls."

He grunted and bit onto his lip as he struggled to pull up the dumbbell, "Yes Levi" I smirked watching how adorable he looked forcing himself. He was able to bring the dumbbell up halfway so i slowly helped him push it up a little past it so he could finish.

Once Eren had finished with everything I had him work on for that day, which might I add was strictly biceps, I sent him to the cardio section.

"Hey Levi?"

"Hmm?" I responded while looking down at the clipboard in front of me.

"How come you only had me working on my arms?"

I slowly looked up and patted the stairs motioning he climb on up and start walking. "I like focusing on one muscle a day and adding cardio after your workout."

He nodded and raised the level on the machine to 5 so that the stairs were going faster than when he started. "Level 2 Jaeger, I need to see how long you can last on level 2 first before you pass out."

I saw him roll his eyes and lower it back down to level 2 before he huffed out a reply. "This is too slow Levi!"

"Shut it, you wanted a trainer you got a trainer, I am not here to baby you and cater to your every whim. After this I want you to go onto the elliptical for 12 minutes on level 4. When you finish with that I need you to run half a mile and with the remaining half mile I want you two walk on an incline of 8 and a speed of 3.0. Understood?"

I watched as he slowly closed his eyes and sighed mumbling, "Is there anything else you want your majesty?"

"Is that sass I hear? You dare sass the person who is going to be giving you workouts daily? You know what I hear Jaeger? I hear an extra 2 miles on the treadmill and 3 sets of 15 squats."

I watched as his jaw dropped and his eyes widened. "Seriously?! I'm already dying here there is no way I can do all that."

I smirked and shrugged, "Do I look like I care? I've spoken and so it shall be do you understand?"

"Yes Levi." He slowly lowered his head and trudged up the steps before I reached over and hit the stop button causing him to stumble off balance surprised.

"Good get to work then, I'll come check on you in about 20 minutes. In that time I expect you to be done with the squats and elliptical."

He nodded and took off. I went back to the front desk when I saw Eye brows walk down the stairs from his office. "Oi! Get your giant ass over here." Ignoring the mothers who covered their children's ears while picking them up from the daycare we had.

"Now now Levi, is that any way to speak to your boss?" Erwin smiled walking toward me with a stack of papers in his hand.

"Shut the hell up, you're a friend first before a boss"

Erwins eyebrows shot up and I couldn't help but chuckle at it. "Oh so you admit I'm your friend my that's quite an improvement, I've known you since we were young and that's the first time I've ever heard it."

I looked away and blushed slightly mumbling, "Yeah well don't get used to it. Anyways what the hell, why didn't you mention you bought this place and hired me?"
