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

Betrayal

"Annie! Bert! Why the hell are you doing this??"

"What are you talking about? We're here to save you and Seven."

"Are you guys really here to save us!?? Or is it because that old man told you to get us back!??"

"He told us Reiner."

"..... Aren't you guys tired of killing and kidnapping??"

"What are you talking about Reiner? We were created to kill and take. It's always been like that since the beginning."

"But that can change Annie, Dammit!! It's not too late to turn into a good guy!--"

"Reiner, no one is a good guy. Not even you. Not even Seven."

"He has a name now, Annie."

"You gave him a name?"

".... Yeah..."

"Seven doesn't need a name. Just a number."

"Well you know what Annie, I just gave him a name and you can't do anything about it--"

"Reiner! Don't say that to her!"

"Shut it Bert!"

"Ngh..."

"Hey, he's up."

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

Eren shook his head to see himself wrapped in someone's arms. His arms were aching and his vision was nothing but a blur.

"Go ahead. Try talking to him." Reiner motioned his head to Berthold.

The tall man knelt down and hesitantly spoke.

"H-Hi, Seven." He spoke nervously.

Eren's eyes were wide open to view Bert's face. He struggled to back away from him but he was secured in Annie's arms.

"Where am I? What are you guys doing here?!" Eren asked.

Bert glanced at Annie who seemed unimpressed with the fact that Eren was actually communicating with them.

Eren's hands were tied behind his back and Reiner's arms were completely cut off.

"We're here to take you back, Seven--"

"I don't want to go back, Bert!" Eren shouted.

The young man looked up to meet the woman's beautiful blue eyes boring into his.

"A-Annie??"

"We're going to take you back. I'm gonna to make sure you forget everything." Annie spoke in a soft yet harsh tone.

"I'm not going back! I want to go home!" Eren struggled to get out of Annie's hold but she only embraced him tighter from behind. They sat down together on a big branch that can take their weight.

"Eren! Tell them what they need to hear! You were treated kindly by those humans, right??" Reiner's voice reached him through his loud grunts.

"Tell them that the survey corps or whatever is trying to find a cure to turn titans into human beings!"

"Annie, you have to believe me!" Eren tried to convince her.

"Oh, really? Then why is he on our side?" Annie asked.

"W-What?"

Annie grabs Eren's face and turned it to his right side, where she revealed the man who he strongly hated.

"Why is he telling me otherwise, 'Eren'?" Annie whispered.

Eren couldn't believe that the man standing before him was no other than Levi himself, flesh and alive. He stood on a branch of the tall tree with his arms crossed.

"Levi??" Eren yelled.

"Why??!"

"I believe that power is everything, Eren. I believe that we are too weak to exist in this world. It's time we say goodbye." Levi explained.

"What are you trying to say Levi!? That you betrayed everyone!??" Eren screamed.

"I want to get rid of you and the rest of the humanity who are not fit to live in this cruel world. We are all against each other."

"Then what about (First)!?"

"She means nothing to me now. I realized that love is nothing but a stage in life. Something I will never have.... The only way to survive and live in peace is to become one of them."

"Them?"

Confused, Eren looked at Reiner and Bert, hoping that they would understand and explain it to him but as soon as he returned his eyes to his supposedly superior, he knew exactly what it meant.

"You.... Want to become a monster...?" Eren stared at him with angry eyes.

"It's his decision. He will gamble his life to become one of us." Annie mumbled.

"Seven, j-just think about it. Those people out there are only using you because you have power." Bert stuttered.

"Think Eren. Think really hard of why cadet (First) loves you.... So she can gain your trust and use you to kill." Levi spoke.

"No matter where you are, you will never be human."

"Don't listen to them, Eren!"

Eren turned to Reiner who attempted to take over.

"Eren! (First) isn't using you! Seriously, who has the time to trick people nowadays?? Do you really think she is that type of person? If you know the real (First), then don't listen to that traitor!!!"

"I've known (First) longer than you, Eren. She always wondered why we haven't taken a huge step to success. And when she met you, she just had to convince the court to turn you into us. And why did the court accept you? Because (First) believes that you can be of use to kill titans. She's only using you as a shield."

"Eren don't..!!!!"

"Titans were once humans too Eren. But (First) doesn't care about that... She's killed many titans before she met you. She doesn't care whether titans are human beings. She's a killer too. Why do you think she joined the Survey Corps?--"

"Eren...!!!!"

"You are nothing but a pawn, Eren."

"Eren don't listen to him!!!!"

".......... A pawn.......?" He dropped his head down in shame, his bangs covering his eyes of humiliation.

Eren remembered there was a time (first) had taught him how to play chess. She explained to him what each piece is and what their roles are. Eren was probably the worse at playing chess but he knew that teamwork and sacrifice is the only way of winning the game. Though he always wondered why he loses.

"You win some. And you lose some. That's how the game goes, Eren."

(First's) voice was ringing in his head. He was speechless. He began to believe in that. He began to believe in Levi's words. If that is how the real world is, then....

"I'm going back to the factory...."

Eren whispered.
