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

The Returning

"I'LL KILL YOU!! ARGH!!"

"Bert, go get the syringe, now."

"Ah.... Y-Yes sir..."

"LET GO OF ME! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!"

"Shut the hell up kid."

"GO FUCK YOURSELF!! LET ME GO!!"

"Bert! For christ sake! Hurry up with that damn syringe!"

"B-But sir, which color??"

"YOU ARE SO FUCKING DEAD! I'M GONNA---"

"Get the red one."

"... Wh-What!??"

"You heard me! Get the red syringe! Come on, give it here!"

"I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!!!"

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

Eren woke up with half-lidded eyes. One side of his face felt sore. He groaned, attempting to move his muscles. He began to remember where he left off after everything turned black. He panicked, taking quick breaths, trying to break free from leather belts that tied him up.

"What the--?"

Light was shined upon him, it blinded his eyes for a while. He turned his head from side to side to study his surrounding. It felt so familiar. Everything was clear yet dark. The only source of light was the one shining on him. He was certainly in the center of attention. His entire body was strapped onto a table, from his shoulders down. He felt a tiny bit lightheaded, unable to breathe normally for his chest was tightly squeezed by the belts like a snake wrapping it's own being onto it's prey to suffocate them. He cringed at the light beam and squinted a couple times before his eyes got used to it. His hands felt sticky between each fingers. It was a sign of knowing that he had done a good deed, something he should have done a long time ago.

"Oh, you're up."

Eren swiftly followed that voice. There stood a casual man with the same old frown and crossed arms.

"Levi..." Eren growled, shooting a disgusted look at him.

"Please excuse me for putting you down like that. You were acting so rash, I had to stop you." Levi answered.

Eren was too busy to argue with Levi. He had to figure out how he was going to free his tamed body.

"..... It's time for me to do the right thing for once." Levi stated.

"You've always done the right thing up until now Levi!" Eren grunted, violently wiggling around to loosen the tight belts around his chest area.

"You're wrong, Eren."

"What's so special about becoming a titan!?? What's so good about killing innocent people who are purposely born into this world!?"

"Tell me Levi!! Tell me why!?" Eren screamed out, his veins extended throughout his arms to his hands.

"It's called bad luck. Ever heard of it?" Levi responded.

"We are born, and then we die. That's our main purpose in life, Eren. EIther way, we'll all die in the end."

"But there's something more than that! Even beyond life itself!!!"

"Yeah. I know." Levi looked down at his hands, squeezing them.

"There's one favor that I'd like you to do for me---"

"Shut your mouth! I don't want to hear you anymore! Urgh!!!" No matter how hard he tried, Eren could not break free.

"You need to listen to me very carefully."

"Why should I?!"

"..... Look, they're going to give you a dose of that red syringe you mentioned back in HQ. I'm gonna need you to fight it once they inject it inside of you."

"What??"

"Good luck, Eren."

Levi turned around to leave the room, abandoning the weak and bruised boy to scream out the man's name.

"LEVI! I'LL KILL YOU!"

The door is slammed from behind, leaving the boy nothing but silence to accompany him.

(4 Hours ago)

"What!?" Reiner stumbled onto the thick branch in shock.

"You heard him, Reiner. Seven wants to go back to the factory. So much for your sweet talk and shit." Annie replied.

"Then it's settled. We'll.... Go back." Bert lowered his face to hide it from Reiner.

"Eren! What about (FIrst)!?" Reiner tried to reach out for the boy who had surrendered his entire being.

"I said, I'm going back to the factory." Eren avoided his eye contact, turning away to bury his face on one side of Annie's arms.

"Berthold, take Reiner. I'll be taking Eren." Annie commanded the tall young man.

"R-Right."

"I can't believe you Eren. You threw her away just like that. She wasn't special to you after all. She means nothing to you, is that right?" Reiner was disappointed in Eren for having to accept their "welcome back" invitation.

"I have to go back." Eren mumbled.

"Obedient as always. Like the dog he is." Levi commented before they were headed to the factory from miles away.

Along the way, everyone was quiet. Reiner gave in as well, having no one to side with him to go against their favors. He was all alone. He had lost. And he was too weak. But that was giving him too much credit. The fault was also within Eren. Reiner truly believed he could surpass the rest of the titan shifters with the help of Eren but he still has a lot to learn. Annie is as sharp as a knife. It seemed as if she was the leader who was running this joint. Even though she was a female, she was probably the most agile and fit in her titan form. Not to mention her accuracy and speed. To be honest, Reiner feared Annie ever since they met. He had never gotten personal with her, as did she. The only one closest to him, was Berthold. However, Bert was too scared to go against Annie. He would never do anything that would upset the threat. And if he did, he will definitely see the end of it.

It was a long way to the factory. After a couple of hours of getting out of the forest and into another, they finally reached their own territory. Levi had already abandoned his gear, receiving a ride on Annie's palm instead. He was quite unfamiliar with the scenery which looked rotten and dead. The old factory did not seem welcoming at all. It was built on an open field where green grass was replaced with shrubs and weeds. This was the first time Levi had witnessed a small building where titans dared not to set foot on. If the factory had no walls to defend against the titans then....

"It's the man who started it all...." Levi thought.
