My Little Brat

The Walk Home

Levi's POV

" So, Eren."

I say softly as we walk down the street, clouds forming above us.

" Are you alright....?"

Asking and allowing my curiosity and concern to show, I look to him with gentle eyes.

" I'm fine, just have a few things on my mind..."

" Like what? "

" You seem exceedingly familiar... But it's not from anything real, it's from a dream I've had every night for my whole life... But in my dream everything is different. There were carts and wagons and horses, but there were also these strange beings called... Titans? I don't even know what one would look like. I know I've dreamt of what they look like, but every time I try to remember, it slips away. "

It begins to drizzle lightly, but his eyes are quizzical, as if asking me what the dream is. He knew about Titans, he knew about all of it, but he couldn't seem to remember me. I could feel hot tears welling up in my eyes, but I forced them back.

" Eren, please try. Try to remember. Try harder. It's me, Levi... Please remember... Eren, it was all real. All of it. Titans, the Survey Corps. it was real. Please try to remember. Who was I to you? In the dream."

He stops for a moment, eyes wide as the rain sprinkles the concrete, creating a dotted texture.

" Y-you...."

He had his head in his hands now, eyes squinted shut.

" It couldn't have been real! "

He raises his voice slightly, as he begins to cry.

" Eren, its all real. Please try to remember. "

" Tell me who you were to me! I need to know! "

He yells. I always hated when he raised his voice. It hurt my heart. It hurt me... It always did. I could only recall four times in the past that he had ever raised his voice to me in anger and frustration, but I needed to tell him.

" Eren... I-I was your captain... A-and I was your husband. I was your lover and you- "

I sniffle slightly and pause before continuing.

" Y-you were mine..."

He stops and looks up at me, eyes wide and his body shaking slightly.

" Levi...."
