"Eren," You glance over and your eyes widen seeing what he's about to do "No! Don't titan shift!"

Eren ignores you and opens his mouth, raising his hand as he does so.

"No! Eren, stop!" Petra yells out and Eren pauses hearing the stern tone the older woman took up with him "Your only permitted to assume titan form when your life's in extreme peril! That was the agreement! You swore an oath!"

Eren says nothing and only continues his motions of raises his hand, this time slotting his hand into his mouth.

"Eren!" You yell in warning, silently hoping he'd listen to you for once.

"I wouldn't blame you." You look away from Eren and to the Captain "Do as your conscience dictates. But Eren, listen. You are not inherently evil. Your ability to change doesn't make you a monster. That said it could be the other way around. How're you supposed to know where to draw the line? Whether you lose control or freely give it up. Maybe it's the same."

"Cap...tain..?" You murmur out, curious as to where this speech is coming from and where its going.

"Look, Eren. We don't agree because our experience brings us to opposing views. That's life. At the end of the day, there's no reason to go against how you see it. The choice is yours. You can trust yourself. Or you can trust the people willing to put their lives on the line for you and Y/N. I don't know which way is better. I never have. Should I act on my own instincts, or put myself in the hands of my comrades and trust them. Either way, there's no guarantee. In the end you choose what you choose. If afterwards your regrets are at a minimum, good for you."

Eren puts down his hand and you breath a sigh of relief. However Eren turns to look backwards at the female titan and you eye him warily. Him turning around to look got you all in this unsure mess the first time. Still looking behind him Eren begins to raise his hand again and you inwardly curse.

"Eren!" Petra looks at you before looking back at the green eyed male "Trust us."

FLASHBACK

Squad Levi was in the classroom. Apparently Levi and Hange had news to share with all of you, although whether it was good or bad was anyone's guess.

"Good news. There may be a way to stop you without killing you." (Levi)

Eren seems unsure of what Levi just said, verging on confusion "Sir?"

"In your titan form." Levi confirms "We may have some middle ground after all. A fail-safe if you will. The method i've come up will only leave you mutilated." Levi turns to the chalk board and draws an outline of a body. "Well, at least in theory. Depends on individual skill." Levi then creates an oval halfway though, where the arms, legs, and oval overlap. "Essentially we cut the entire nape from the body, with you inside. Your arms and legs will be severed halfway down in the process but you'll survive." Levi turns away from the chalk board and towards Eren "As a matter of fact, they'll probably just grow back, lizard-style. Creepy little bastard."
