Half and Half (Oblivious!Eren x Reader x Slight!Yandere Levi)

The Heart and Mind

"I love Eren and Eren only..."

Those words were drilled inside of his head. It took him a couple of minutes to process your words, as if he couldn't understand your language. Thinking that he had nothing else to say, you attempted to push him from you but he stood still like a hard solid rock, still latching onto you.

"Let go." You warned him, no longer feeling fear.

His eyes were fixed onto your figure. He blinked several times after you spoke. You struggled to release his grip on you.

"I said let go...!" Finally, with all your strength, you managed to free yourself, taking a couple steps back.

"Did you not hear me?" Your voice had a hint of anger.

"I heard you... Loud and clear." He nodded.

"... I'm doing this for the sake of both of us. Please understand, sir." You sighed.

"........."

"Don't ever come near me again. Otherwise, one of us will get hurt in the end, no matter the circumstances. I don't want that." You explained to him before you dismissed yourself, leaving Hanji's report on the table with the heart-aching man.

"Goodnight." You quietly say before you leave him.

He slumped on the chair, staring blankly into the report.

As soon as you reached Eren's cell, you quickly rushed to the young titan boy who was sleeping soundly. You couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead and jump on your bed on the opposite side. You covered yourself with sheets, trying not to think about Levi's kiss. It made you feel nervous and uneasy. And for that, you didn't feel tired anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a couple of days, Hanji made an announcement that the expedition is coming close and that the entire Corps must prepare for it. The goal was mainly using Eren and Reiner's ability in titan-shifting to gather some more evidence on the titans. Hanji made sure that she sucked out every little information from Reiner before they set on out. In the end, Reiner only kept the identities of the surviving victims from ears. As for Eren, he didn't remember any of them at all. He didn't keep track.

"Is there possibly a cure for all this mess?" You wondered.

"You think that the old man has a heart for creating a remedy?" Reiner snorted, crossing his buff arms.

"Hey, don't be mean to her." Eren warned the blonde macho man.

"Why can't you tell us about the others, Reiner? What will you lose?" You asked.

"Look, I just...... Well..... We've...." He scratched the nape of his neck and sighed.

"Let's just say that we've done some bad things in the past, alright?"

"How bad?" You wanted to keep on going until he spits out the answers you need.

"Why does that even matter? We were... Stupid... Very stupid." Reiner shook his head.

"If you're trying to ask me like that titan-obsessing chick, I'm not telling. They're probably dead for all we know." Reiner stated.

"Reiner, you want to help us, right?"

"I don't know. I'm just looking for a place to stay, where I don't have to do stupid shit. I want to live like a human being."

You had no argument. You stopped testifying him. Eren wrapped his hand around yours, resting his head on yours.

You were one of the few people who knew about the secret plan of the expedition coming up. The plan is to capture the other titan-shifters and hopefully get answers from them. Reiner and Eren didn't know the plan. The only mission they were given is to help guide the entire team to safety and show them their abilities in combat out in the open field beyond the walls.

(One week Later....)

You rode on a horse and made sure that your gear was strapped onto you tight. Eren came running from behind with his own two feet.

"(First), wait!!" Eren panted as he stopped to catch his breath, standing in front of your horse.

"Eren, where's your horse? We're going to leave in five minutes." You became worried.

"My horse doesn't like me! He's always trying to kick me." Eren answered.

"What?"

"Can I ride with you? Please??" Eren requested.

With no time to spare, you gave him a quick nod, causing his eyes to gleam with happiness. He had a difficult time getting on your horse, considering the fact that he's never ridden one because all the other horses hate his smell.

"Hang on tight, you'll fall off, okay?" You tell him.

"Huh? Oh." Feeling delighted, he wraps his strong iron arms around your little waist, hardly giving you oxygen to breathe.

"Not that tight." You tried to pry his arms from you to loosen up.

"Oh, okay." He did not obey. All he did was tighten his hold on you.

You knew he was doing it on purpose. His head leaned against your back, counting the beats of your heart.

"1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4--" He silently chanted as he swung his legs back and forth, trying not to kick your feet.

"It's hopeless..." You gave him a bored look.

"Okay! Let's head to the village!!" Hanji shouted as you followed the squad. Sadly, you were put in a different group aside from Levi's. He had a team of foreign people that knew him as the strongest soldier. Not to mention, his new teammates had enough experience to top the professionals. But of course, of all the people, Levi will always be that one serious lookin' guy. As the teams galloped to the village, you felt Eren's chest was pressed against your back more than before. He shrugged his shoulders up, staying locked onto your body, still counting the beats. Noticing this, you scoffed and wore a smile, even though he was killing your lungs.

Once you've reached the point to wait for the gates to open at the village, you quickly looked around to see many familiar faces surrounding you. Not many people bid you farewell. Everyone was slowly losing their hopes of witnessing a bright future. But still, you didn't want to give up. You wanted to believe that there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel. You just have to keep moving forward. It's what you wanted for everyone, including yourself.

"2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5--" Eren counted.

"Eren, are you ready?" You turned your face to one side.

"Mmhm..." Eren nods.

"Welp, here we go." You watched the gates open the path to the outside world.

Hang onto me, Eren. Don't let go.... Yet.
