I Found You

Chapter 3:Does he remember?

Levi waited for Eren today but he wasn't there when the bell rang, he came in late and looked like shit. Levi wanted to ask so many questions for example how he got a black eye but he didn't want to push it, so he let it be.
"Good morning Mr.Ackerman, sorry im late." Eren kept his head down to keep  anyone from noticing but him and Levi made contact for a split second and he knew that he saw.
"It's alright..just..take your seat."
'Dammit, couldn't even last a second.'
Today was kind of a free day so all they had was a simple worksheet and Eren couldn't even get through that without Jean opening his horse mouth.
"Hey asshole, just gonna try and avoid me?"  Yes, Eren was going to try and do just that. Jean picked up a pencil and threw it at Eren and hit him in the head.
"Hey man, could ya stop please?" Eren looked up and that's when Jean saw the bruise and busted lip.
"Oh we're gonna play nice guy, is it cause someone beat your ass, you know you had it coming." Eren was gonna retaliate but Levi jumped in first.
"Jean quit your shit would ya, your voice is annoying and if I have to come over there then there will be a problem." Jean immediately shut his mouth and left Eren alone. He didn't want to go up against Levi but Eren did hear Jean whisper something.
"Just wait til we get out of here Jager, then you're all mine." At this point Eren really didn't care. When Levi went around to collect papers he saw a couple things that caught his eye. There were bruises on Eren's wrists and blood under his nails.  'Who hurt him this bad?' 
Then Levi picked up Eren's paper and on it were doodles; The wings of freedom that Levi knew all to well, a terrible drawing of a Titan, Levi's teacup, then something that hit Levi's heart. It was his cravat which was actually part of his late mother's dress then a drawing of a man's chest and Levi instantly became flustered because the drawing of the man had scars covering his front, the same ones Levi once had.
Levi needed air and a moment to process what he had just saw. " Excuse me while I step out please." Levi began to walk out the door and then he glanced at Eren one more time to find him looking right back at him, then Levi rushed out the door and called Hanji to takeover the class for him temporarily.
Levi looked at the drawings one more time to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
' What was this feeling, it feels familiar but I feel sick.'  Levi was extremely confused, he didn't understand. ' Why did Eren draw those things? Did he remember too?' 
Hanji told the class she'd be right back and went to go see how Levi is doing. "What's wrong ravioli?" Levi gave her a sharp glare and then turned back the other way.
"Shut the fuck up four eyes." Yeah he really didn't want to talk.
"Geez okay mister grumpy pants, I just wanted to know what had your underwear in a bunch."
"Hanji look at this." Levi handed her Eren's work and she screamed so loud that he had to cover her mouth.
"Holy shit." Hanji saw the drawings and you could see the glint in her eyes, she wanted to know more. "Do you think he remembers, I'm gonna go ask him Hehe." As soon as her hand touched the doorknob Levi grabbed her and slammed her against the wall their breathing heavy and their bodies close. "Okay first, Oww, and second why not?"
"Because I need you to keep quiet for now and honestly I don't know if he remembers, but why else would he draw these things?"
Yes Hanji also remembered her past life but she kept it hidden until she met Levi and accidentally did the stance that all the members did. And that's how Levi found out she knew, which Eren has also done it on many occasions which leads him to the suspicion that Eren knows more than he lets on.
"Hmm, well we'll just wait and see what happens kay?" Hanji went right back to her regular self in a matter of seconds.
"Alright and thanks for looking after my class, four eyes." Levi thanked her? Now he knows he's going crazy.
"No, problem Cap'n."
"Don't call me that." Levi snapped back, he didn't want to hear that title or anyone else to hear. Hanji began to walk off when Levi caught her saying something.
"Sir,yes,sir."
' Shitty Glasses'
When he walked back into class, everyone was talking except for Eren who kept to himself, he wasn't in the mood to interact today. Levi walked over to Eren quite shyly, he didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation. "Eren, are you alright?" Eren looked up and boy did he look tired, he had huge, dark circles under his eyes and a frown was set on his face, but Levi needed to know about these drawings.
"Yeah, why?" Yeah he even sounded like shit, his voice was hoarse and you could tell he'd been crying.
"Well I was looking over your work when I saw these." Levi showed Eren his artwork and Eren instantly perked up and snatched the paper.
"O-oh they're um nothing, just random."
Eren didn't know what to do. " I was half asleep I'm sorry I didn't mean to draw these."
Levi wasn't even listening to him he was more curious about the drawings. "So what is this one?" Levi pointed to the cravat and Eren looked at Levi then he looked back down. "It used to be something of importance to a close friend of mine." Levi could sense the sadness in Eren's voice.
"Oh..what was their name?"
"Oh umm,Kutchel." Levi was dumfounded, did this kid seriously just use his mother's name to cover it up?
"Huh, interesting." Now Eren was confused why would it be interesting to him?
"How is it interesting?"
"Well, because that's also my mother's name, what a coincidence." Eren was now in deep trouble, but he was saved by the bell and thank god .
"Haha, well look at the time, I gotta go bye Mr.Ackerman." Eren abruptly stood up which meant him falling onto Levi and them both losing their balance...Eren was on top of Levi and Levi's arms were wrapped around Eren in an attempt to catch him..you can imagine what happened next.  Eren ran out of the room full speed and down the hallway, Levi slowly leaned up and just sat there. He could have chased Eren but it was probably best to let him leave. Now Levi was onto him and knew something was up.
"Hey teach you just gonna sit there?" Levi looked up to see Connie.
"Shut the fuck up, eight ball."

After many classes and a bunch of homework being assigned, Eren was finally able to go home and all he wanted was to get to his room safely and get some sleep because he wasn't ready for tomorrow and he couldn't imagine the looks on everyone's  faces when he enters the classroom looking like a girl. He doesn't think he can handle Jean or look Levi in the eye, he's just gonna have to play it off and get through the day as fast as possible.
When Levi got home he made himself some tea and sat at the table with Eren's worksheet he stole right out of Eren's bag when they fell and was observing the artwork on it. Eren wasn't bad at drawing and when Levi looked closer he noticed that the Titan Eren had drawn was himself in all its glory. Levi considered that maybe Eren was dreaming about these things, but Levi hopes that Eren remembers something, anything and he also knows that Eren lied today because even if he didn't remember anything, he wouldn't have met Kutchel because she died when Levi was around six and the cravat was from her dress. Levi has a cravat from when his mother died in this life but even so, Eren has never seen it because Levi hasn't worn it around Eren. Levi will find out the truth.
