Narrators POV:

Levi drove carefully with Eren in the passenger seat and a wheelchair in the back. The doctor had said he wanted Eren to be extra careful for the next couple of days, so he lent them a wheelchair. Eren focused his gaze out the window and heavy rain patted against it. The seemingly gloomy day, could possibly be one of the best days of his life.

When they pulled into the parking lot of the police station, they glanced at each other and nodded. He had to do this. Once Eren was seated in the wheelchair Levi pushed him into the building and the receptionist was sitting at the desk.

They had already thought this all the way through, and Levi had even called ahead. They quickly signed in and Levi moved his hand over to grab Erens, but Eren quickly moved away and mouthed 'sorry'. This ticked off Levi a little bit, but he tried not to let it get to him. Soon enough two police officers entered the room and called them in.

Once in the room they greeted the boy politely and started with the questions, they wasted no time answering. Eren pulled up his sleeves, and Levi helped roll up his pants to reveal the dozens of bruises that covered his body. He talked through all of the traumatic things his father had done to him, and how it all led up to here.

The whole time Eren shook and Levi didn't dare touch him. He just stood formally behind him. Levi had the urge to rub his back and try to comfort him, but he knew that would only cause him trouble. The officers took names, places, and times for everything; but eren didn't mention how Levi had hurt him. He wanted his father to get the punishments for what he did.

They arrived at Levi's complex and Eren's stomach turned as he remembered what Levi had done. They walked into the living room and both sat down.

"Why did you do it? Why did you beat me up?" Eren wasted no time.

"Let me explain the backstory first, because without it nothing will make any sense," He took a breath in.

"When I was younger I joined a gang, and quickly became their leader. I left about a year ago and now they're after me again. Those guys who threatened to kill me, those used to be my men. I didn't go out for liquor for the bar. I went out to meet them." Eren's face went pale.

"I killed five men that night, and then I was forced to make a deal," Levi's voice started to become cold again.

"I had to join them and put both our lives at risk all day, seven days a week, or I had to beat the shit out of you and I could go on. If I didn't do either, they'd kill you,then me" His whole tone had gone deeper

"Why couldn't you have just put us at risk? Or just had them kill me..?" Eren questioned.

"Are you out of your fucking mind!!! Why would I let them kill you!?" Levi raised his voice.

"NO I'M NOT!! I just don't understand why you would waste you're stupid time on me!" Eren began to yell back.

"WHY!! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WASTE ALL OF YOUR TIME PRTECTING A USELESS KID LIKE ME!!" Eren stood up, and Levi turned his back to him.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST LET THEM KILL ME!! IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER FOR THE BOTH OF US!!"

As soon as those words left Eren's mouth Levi spun around and pure rage flowed through his veins and he could see it in his eyes.

"DON'T YOU EVEN DARE FUCKING SAY THAT!!! I hate that you're mad at me, and what I hate even more is that its all my fucking fault!! But god damnit Eren you looking fucking hot right now!"

Eren was immediately thrown off, and that was Levis goal; it wasn't like he was lying.

"I'VE CARED MORE ABOUT YOU THAN I HAVE FOR ANYONE IN YEARS SO DON'T YOU DARE GO AND SAY THAT THIS WORLD WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU!! I FUCKING LIKE YOU EREN. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CALL YOU MINE!!"

Levi quickly realized what he had just said and looked down in frustration, his face was hot and red from yelling and his fits were clenched. The words that had left his mouth were involuntary. However, they were the truth. Levi had fallen for Eren and he hated the fact he had just admitted to it.

Eren stumbled back onto the couch in shock and looked up at Levi, who was still standing practically steaming in rage. Eren didn't know what to think. Levi was not the type of person to lose control like that, and when he looked back up; Eren could actually see small tears running down his face. He liked Levi too.

Eren stood up in front of Levi and he looked down to meet his gaze. Eren turned over and grabbed Levi's chin, turning it up towards his face.

"I like you too, Levi."

Eren connected their lips and they both melted into the kiss. Levi was quick to gain back his dominance, but since the kid was not very experienced he took it slow. The both wondered what the other was thinking, but they came to the conclusion that right now, it didn't matter. Levi eventually pulled away and pushed Eren onto the couch, where he straddled him and licked his bottom lip. Eren instantly gave in and allowed Levi to explore his mouth, this went on for a while. When they stopped Eren had bite marks on his shoulder and hickeys on his collar bone. He smirked at the thought, and sighed as he slid the answer button on Mikasa's call.
