Chapter 1

After years of robbing banks, Eren never pictured out being caught. Until now.

Armin underestimated the bank's security, so instead of dragging the whole crew behind bars, Eren decided to just sacrifice himself. He was a suicidal bastard after all.

He knew his crew wouldn’t let him stay in jail forever, for they knew that Eren could not stay put in one place. Eren would start a fight simply because he was bored and they don't want Eren to be in the chair.

During his first day, Eren did pretty well. He made "friends" with some prisoners. The one he got close to was his roommate, Connie Springer. Then came a horse faced inmate named Jean. No matter how much Eren wanted to punch him for no reason, he stopped himself. Mikasa strongly ordered him to lay low in jail so they could easily take him out.

"Oh, no," Connie gasped in horror.

Eren was currently laying on his bed with his eyes closed. Patiently waiting for the guards to come and announce that he had a visitor. He cracked an eye open, only to see his bald friend shivering in fear. "What?"

"It's Monday." He shivers.

"And?" Eren asked while he sat up. He looked up at the memo showing the schedule of their activities that was taped on the door.

Monday - Saturday: exercise, breakfast, cleaning, lunch, cleaning, recreational activities, cleaning, dinner, cleaning and lights out.

Nothing unusual except for the amount of cleaning in a day. "I don't see why you are afraid."

"The hell week begins." Connie supplied without any further explanation.

The bell rang and all the cell doors opened. All of the inmates lined up, Eren couldn’t help but feel the fear. All of the rowdy inmates were suspiciously quiet, with all of their heads down in submission.

Something bad was coming.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor. Eren could visibly see how everyone tensed as the footsteps came louder and louder.

Eren, just being a suicidal bastard that he is, leaned out of the perfect line to see who was the source of everyone's fear.

His world stopped. Eren expected to see an old, strict jail guard but he was dead wrong. The first thing he saw was his eyes, blue and mysterious like the deep ocean, glaring directly at him. His white skin contrasted well with his raven hair. His neat undercut matched with his uniform, making him look hot as hell. And then, his height....

'He’s so fucking adorable!' Eren mentally screamed. He admired how the shorter man's brows furrowed and how his thin lips were pulled into a deep frown. The way his uniform fits tightly on him, Eren can make out his muscles underneath, but damn that waist was thin. How can someone so beautiful exist inside this hell hole?

Eren watched as the shorter man approached him. It was the moment he didn't see himself in, the usual cliche romance novel type where he felt the world stopped and it was only him and the beautiful man, approaching him in slow steps. Eren felt his heart beat faster and faster on his chest as the man came closer and closer.

In a blink of an eye, Eren was kissing the floor where his husband-to-be's boot was harshly pressed against his head. His temple burned painfully, a simple reminder that he was kicked until he was on his knees.

"You piece of shit. You really have the fucking guts to break the line, huh? If you want to fucking fight me, just say so." His beloved growled at him before lifting his boot, kicking him again and again, blow after blow.

"S-Stop!" A shivering voice pierced the air.

"You want to join the fucking party, Springer?" The shorter man glared at the bald inmate.

Connie shivered but he managed to find his voice again. "H-He's the new g-guy."

"Is that so?" The beauty lifted his boot up just enough that Eren could raise his head. 

Emerald eyes quickly searched for a name tag and he found it, above the shorter man's breast pocket. Ackerman. Levi Ackerman. And at the same time, their eyes met.

"Welcome to hell, brat."

That was the last thing Eren heard before Levi put him to sleep with another painful blow.

Eren is so dead. Dead in love.
