The next morning came along slowly, having the inmates wake from their deep slumber. Though not for most there.

Levi walked out of the shower having woken up again from his few hours of sleep. He headed back to their cell seeing that it was almost time for breakfast. "Hey, brat! Wake up! Thirty minutes till breakfast!" He started to dry himself off then getting dressed.

"What?! Argh!" Eren sat up quickly only to hit his head against the ceiling. He clutched his head in pain, doing so made him turn on his side falling off the side of the bed. "Ah!" His head hit the ground but his leg got tangled in the sheets preventing him from falling all the way. "Ugh..." Eren hung upside down his head bent against the ground with his shoulders, his leg still tangled in with the sheets.

The older man laughed; putting on the white uniform pants, he went over fixing Eren. Levi's six pack tightened when he picked up the boy ruffling his hair. "Get a shower. Tell the people in line that I sent you. They'll let you go first."

Eren lightly blushed as he pulled his shirt off. "Hey I might be younger but don't treat me like a kid. I'm 20 years old." He quickly left and took the shower.

A smile came on the raven's lips as he put on his white shirt with his number across the front. He then walked to main entrance and took his pills before going to the cafeteria to eat.

Getting out of the shower, the brunet dried off looking at his new clothing before slipping them on. He opened the cell door walking out. "So...breakfast right..."

Levi sat at his table, rolling his eyes at the two with him. He looked at the door when it opened to see Eren come in. The raven waved over at him.

Eren saw him along with two others, figuring it was the other friends he talked about. Grabbing his food, the boy headed over to the table. Be nice be nice be nice. He chanted over and over in his mind.

"Oi, brat. Sit by me. That's Hanji." Levi pointed to a red head with glasses. "And that's Mike." He pointed to a dirtier blond.

Eren took the seat next to Levi nervously smiling. "N-Nice to meet you...I'm Eren." 

Hanji jumped out of her seat. "You made a new friend Levi?! Oh! He's so cute!" She ran around the table and hugged him.

"Watch it, shitty glasses. He'll hurt you. Or you'll hurt him. You see, Eren, Hanji is in here for believing in ghosts, monsters and all that shit. She's bat shit crazy." Levi explained chuckling a little as he ate. "Mike's in here for sniffing people."

"Seeing ghosts and sniffing people...wonderful." Eren sat there waiting to see if she'd let go. ".....Can you fucking let me go now?"

Taking a seat on his lap with arms around him, the woman smiled. "So, what are you in here for?"

"Get the fuck off him." The older man hissed glaring at the red head.

"Anger management, so get off before I get really pissed." Eren kept trying to stay calm but his patience was wearing thin for the woman on him.

A pout came on her lips as she slid onto Levi's lap. "Levi would save me from you."

He sighed as he felt trapped under the larger woman. "Can't I eat in fucking peace?" He mumbled but went unnoticed.

"Would he? I tend to lose my shit when I'm angry, don't piss me off. Then you have nothing to worry about." The brunet went back to eating trying to calm down, forcing himself to not look at how she now sat on the older man's lap.

Hanji leaned in close to Levi's face. "If you were a titan you'd be the shortest and cutest of them all!"

"Shut the fuck up, Hanji. Get the fuck off." Levi squirmed a little trying to escape her, but failing.

The red head leaned in close to his ear. "Is Eren your new lover?"

"No."

Eren tapped his foot a bit still eating. Why am I getting irritated? What they do is none of my business... He thought consuming his food slower.

"Do you like him?" Hanji whispered.

"No. He's a bratty kid."

"You're totally into him." She giggled smiling. "Two hot heads together will make a great sex tape."

"Shitty glasses, I will not hesitate to fucking kick the shit out of you!" Levi hissed glaring up at her.

Just as things couldn't get any worse, Erwin walked in and pushed Hanji off the raven gently grabbing his face. "What's going on here?"

"Nothing."

"Don't be stubborn. Do you like Hanji?"

"No. And I don't like you either. Go the fuck aw-" He was interrupted when the blonde kissed him roughly. Levi tried to push him away, but couldn't.

Eren's eyes widened at what he saw; he glared standing up. Grabbing Ewrin, the boy pulled him off Levi, jaw clenching with anger. "You fucking mind, we're trying to eat here."

"Yeah. I do. I'm writing you up to go to floor six." Erwin hissed.

Levi instantly got up and grabbed the blond from around the waist. "Let's go to your office. Don't mind him. He's a brat." The shorter man looked up at him pleadingly. "Y-Your kitten is ready."

Hanji looked down nibbling on toast, she knew better than get into Erwin's and Levi's love life.

Erwin stared down at Levi before looking over at Eren. "You're lucky this time." He threw him over his shoulder walking off with him like that.

Looking up at Eren, the older man waved at him giving him a reassuring smile, though his eyes looked grim.

The brunet watched him leave wanting desperately to run after them and punch the living daylights out of this Ewrin person. But he knew that he couldn't. Just from the look in Levi's eyes he knew this wouldn't end too well for him either. Eren forced himself to sit down running his hands through his hair. "Fuck..."

The red head stared at Levi until he was gone. "You owe him, Eren. He saved you from going to the hospital floor. It's where they preform shock therapy and all kinds of other tests to help our brains. I've been there once already for Erwin's jealousy. It's not a good place. They tie you down. You better be grateful that Levi has been in a good mood. He normally won't let himself be taken by Erwin like that."

"I can see why he told me to not get into trouble...fucking shit..." He dropped his head into his arms knowing clearly that it was all his fault.

"It's odd... Levi has never had a roommate. He's never been warm to anyone and yet... He's being nice to you. When I came here he didn't tell me a single thing except to leave him alone. I wonder what made you so special." Hanji thought out loud as she moved her eggs around on the tray.

I wonder too myself... The brunet thought lifting his head enough to look at his tray of food. Having lost his appetite, he just stared at it.

Levi came back a half hour later and sat down with a flinch. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was messy. "Damnit, Eren, a growing brat needs his food." He snapped seeing his tray still full of food.

Eren resisted the urge to ask if he was okay, but knowing he sounded bitter he went against it. "Sorry..." He sat up and tried to eat again.

Noticing the heavy tension, the man sighed. "It's fine. Just be prepared. You're gonna go talk to him soon about your problems." He leaned back slouching a little, something he never did and tried not to whine. "I'm okay, Eren. It happens. I did what I thought was right based on the situation I threw you in. I'm sorry about him." Levi would apologize a million times to both Hanji and Eren for Erwin's ridiculous behavior as long as they were still his friends. He rubbed his sore neck that had dark hickeys lined up and down it.

Eren saw the hickeys along the other's neck. His grip on his fork tightened to the point that he bent it in half. Dropping the fork, the boy stood up. "Where's the bathroom?" Eren asked in the calmest voice he could manage at the moment.

Standing up, the older man beckoned him with a finger to follow. He took him out to the hallway and then around the corner where a bathroom was. Walking inside, Levi fixed his hair. Erwin really did do a number on me... He thought as he washed his hands and face. Bruises and scratch marks ran along his chest and stomach that claimed him as Erwin's. It made him feel sick and achy thinking that they were there. "Eren, don't feel bad about this. This was my doing."

"How could this be your fucking doing when I was the one that pissed him off?" Eren leaned against the wall trying to calm down again his eyes closed. "You should have just let him take me to the 6th floor...would have saved you some trouble."

Levi turned to him and rolled his eyes. "I already sent one friend up there because of that bullshit I'm not going to let another one go too. Plus, I don't think you're fucking crazy enough to get electrocuted. It was my doing because I let him fuck me. It's really not that big of a deal. I had hurt him. It's the least I can fucking do now." He stared at him and smiled slightly. "You're really pissed off about this. Why? It really shouldn't matter what happens to me. I'm just another clean freak that doesn't mean shit to the fucking world." The raven slammed a fist down on the counter looking down at the floor. It was too easy to vent with Eren. It terrified him how he was acting. He never thought he'd give a shit about anyone, but here he was...

Eren opened his eyes staring back at Levi. "Everyone has some sort of purpose in life. Don't throw away yours just because you messed up a few times." He smirked a bit shrugging. "I'm one to talk, but hey. And yeah I'm pissed because you had to do something you didn't like because I got angry. You still should have let me taken the punishment because I couldn't control my anger."

"Take your own damn advice. You have a fucking chance to get out of here. I suggest you be a good little boy and just get out before you get even more fucked." Levi jumped to sit on the counter flinching at all the movement he suddenly decided to do. "Don't worry about it. Erwin isn't that bad. Besides, now you fucking owe me." A look full of smug came on his face along with a smirk curling on his lips.

"Hmm...yeah I was told, and I figured I would." The brunet pushed himself off the wall looking at him. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to find a way out of here before you fucking get out. I'm stuck in here because you can't exactly cure insomnia, OCD and whatever else is wrong with me in one hit. It's impossible and I always relapse. So, I need an escape." Leaning in, he was so close to Eren's face. "A dumbass like you should be able to find some way out."

Eren saw how close he had gotten to his face. He calmed his breathing praying that he wasn't blushing. "I'll see what I can do..."

Levi leaned away and ruffled Eren's hair. "Now, it's almost nine. Try not to piss off the dick during a councilor meeting. I can't go another around today unless you don't want me to be able to walk tomorrow." He slid off the counter after pushing Eren away and walked to the door. "I'll take you to his office." 

"I am not making any promises, and stop with the hair ruffling! I'm not a child anymore and you making me seem like one is not helping." The brunet was close to pouting but just crossed his arms instead.

The raven turned to him and ruffled his hair again just to piss him off. "What are you going to do about it, brat?"

A glare came for the shorter man, he pinned him to the wall preventing anyway of escaping. "You seriously gonna test my patience now? My arms aren't bounded this time."

Levi smirked up at him smugly. "I could kick your ass up and down the fucking hallway without even trying, shitty brat." He hoped Eren wouldn't be too rough with him. His body was already aching, but he was in a playful mood and Eren was his toy.

"Oh really?" Eren smirked down at him. "I can hardly believe that with your shortness. But hey, if you could really prove me wrong...I have nothing to complain about." He whispered the last part into his ear before pulling back enough to see him.

Growling, the raven hooked his leg around Eren's and bent his knees before pushing him on the ground pinning him there. "Fuck you, child, you're all talk." Levi ignored the fact that he had the smallest shade of pink on his cheeks.

"Am I really?" The brunet wrapped his legs around Levi's waist; twisting he flipped them over now pinning him down to the ground. "You shouldn't really underestimate me Levi~" He smirked down at him.

A sly grin came on the shorter man's lips as he used his feet to kick Eren off him. Quickly straddling his hips, he pinned the other down. "You shouldn't underestimate me, Eren." Levi whispered against his ear for payback from earlier.

Lightly blushing, he brought his leg up pushing it against the other's chest pressing him against the wall. Pinning him, the boy sat on his lap; putting his hands on either side of his head. "You know this will only continue on, just admit defeat already."

"I'd rather be buried alive then surrender to you." Levi hissed as he slid his legs out from under Eren and used them to slide on top of him; trapping him to the ground.

The brunet flipped the older man having him lay on his stomach with Eren sitting on his back. "Same here Levi, you won't get me to surrender that easily."

Levi did a push up and flipped back over to being on his back before rolling. He pinned Eren's hands above his head with a single hand holding his legs down by pressing them together by his own legs. "Now... Eren... I suggest you give up. It's past nine and Erwin will be looking for you." Levi leaned in close to his face and his eyes softened to show what little emotion he had. "I don't think this childish behavior is appropriate."

Eren by now believed that his cheeks burned with embarrassment and possibly something else. He just stared at the man above him seeing the little emotion he showed. Finally a sighed escaped. "Fine...you win...this time. You won't get so lucky next time though."

Sliding off, the man stared down at the boy realizing how fast their friendship had happened. Wasn't he supposed to be annoyed? Or at least pissed off at the boy's existence? He shook his head and helped Eren up. "I'll take you to Erwin." The raven walked up to the door and opened it for Eren.

Slowly walking in, the boy already hated the feeling inside the room. He says to not piss him off...let's hope he just doesn't piss me off.

Erwin looked up and smiled at Eren. "Please, sit down. How is your day going? Levi treating you okay? No complaints, I hope."

Eren took a seat crossing his legs over each other. "I'm doing fine, I have no complaints at the moment."

The blonde opened Eren's folder and flipped through the papers. "So, do you believe something is wrong with you?"

"No I don't, everyone has anger problems, I just express mine in a more violent way."

"Eren... The first step to success is acceptance. You have an anger problem. You've been to prison how many times for fights? A lot. It's a problem. You need to stop while your ahead. Now say it with me: I have an anger problem." Erwin said calmly as he stared down at the boy.

Oh God he's also treating me like a child learning the fucking alphabet. But I don't want to have Levi go through anything again because I got angry...Suck it up...suck it up Eren...

He took a deep breath. "I...have an anger...problem." The boy forced out arms crossed over his chest.

"Good. Now you need to accept that and then we can move on to the solution. What makes you angry, Eren?"

"People who are idiots, those who are assholes and just love to push my buttons. And those who mess with people I care about."

"I'm surprised you and Levi have been getting along then. You guys are both so hot headed. And he loves pissing people off just because he can." Erwin had a dreamy look in his eyes when he talked about the short raven haired man.

A glare came to the man knowing the look, but shook his head of the thought. "Well he's an ass, but it's not like an annoying one. I like that someone can challenge back at my attitude since there is very little that do."

"Just don't beat him up too badly. Or I'll have to get involved." It was an obvious threat as the blond narrowed his eyes at Eren. "But back to the point, when you get mad you should try taking breaths and counting to ten before attacking whether that's verbally or physically."

"I've been doing that my whole life, if that had worked I wouldn't be here." Eren almost scowled at the threat that the man laid out before him.

Erwin leaned back in his chair a bit looking at his notes. "Then you need to walk away and not go by first impulse. Walk away or talk to yourself in a positive way, such as 'it will be okay' or 'I am better than this'."

"I've never been a really positive person, I'm suppose to start now?" He wanted to scoff, to tell him how a bunch bull it was. But not wanting to cause trouble he bit his tongue back from the crude remarks.

"Yes. If you're more positive you will be more happy. That's how the brain works." The man was getting impatient with how Eren was acting. He wasn't even going to try to get better?

"Hmmm...my life has been full of shit, very positive worthy." Eren could tell that he was getting on the man's nerves. He quite enjoyed it but remembered to not let his fun get carried away.

"Don't think about the past. It's in the past. You need to move on and think about a brighter future. Where do you want to be later in life? What do you want your life to look like? Any kids? A wife?"

He shrugged. "Never thought about it, not most would find me a lovey dovey type to begin with."

"But would you want to be with someone? Have a house? A good paying job? You should build a future to work for and then think of that when your mad. It will remind you what you should be focusing on instead of the people that make you mad."

Hate to admit...but he has a good point...Though I would never tell him verbally.

"Hmmm...maybe..."

"I'll let you ponder on that. Now, lunch is in three hours. It's manditory that you show up for all meals." Erwin handed him a rule book and smiled. "Have a good rest of the day. Oh, and, if you notice Levi cleaning obsessively please take away his supplies and bring them to me. He needs to break his habits."

"I'll keep that in mind...thanks." Eren took the book; standing he walked out of the room.

Oh thank you that's over with...don't think I could last any longer in the same room as him...

"YOU FUCKERS! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH MY CLEANING SUPPLIES?!" A shout was heard where the rooms were and a rampaging Levi came storming down the halls. "YOU PIECES, OF SHIT THIS IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY!"

Hanji came laughing down the hallway with bleach and other cleaning supplies in her arms. "Excuse me, Eren." She cackled running past him.

"HANJI I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD I WILL KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP! I DONT FUCKING CARE IF I GET SENT TO THE SIXTH FLOOR! GIVE THEM BACK!" The raven shouted running past the brunet having short of breath and stamina. "Eren, help me." He whispered running a hand through the boy's hair as he passed.

A blush came when the older man ran a hand through his hair. ...I'm going to regret this. He sighed quickly catching up to Levi.

Running passed him he caught Hanji pulling her to a stop. "Hanji drop the cleaning supplies...p-please..." He forced out keeping a tight grip on her.

Levi caught up and threw her to the ground. "Fuck you, shitty glasses!" He grabbed his cleaning supplies checking that they were all okay.

The red head cackled as she laid on the ground, Levi on top of her. "You're so fun to mess with, Levi!"

Sighing, he got up looking at Eren. Giving a small smile, the shorter man ruffled his hair. "You done well. Now, I'll be in our room cleaning." 

"You're gonna keep going on with the hair ruffling..." Eren huffed crossing his arms. "Hey...why don't I help you...with the cleaning..."

"Of course. You're a child to me." Levi smirked and nodded. "If you think you can clean it to my standards."

"Still almost 20 here. Though can't be all that hard, I think I should be alright."

"Still don't give a shit here." Levi mocked as he made his way back to their room. "We'll see how well you do."

He groaned. "Why do I even try?" The boy took a look at the cleaning supplies. "So what do you want me to do first?"

"Mmmmm... Dust and wipe down everything. Put this on. The bleach will kill your lungs." Levi slid off his handkerchief he always wore around his neck. He slid it on Eren's face just above the nose and tied it on the back of his head. 

"Okay." Eren looked at the handkerchief smiling at how it smelled like Levi. "Wait isn't this your only one though?"

"I'll be okay." The raven said as he set the stuff down in the sink and grabbed the bleach and a cloth. He soaked the cloth and began to scrub at the floor. "If you're gonna touch the bleach wear gloves." He warned even though he wasn't wearing them.

"Hey I'm wearing all this protection yet you are wearing jack squat. You should be wearing something as well Levi."

Stopping what he was doing, the man looked up. "I need a good wash too. I'm fine. A few chemical burns won't kill me. If anything, they will make me cleaner. Just start dusting. I'll be okay." 

Eren sighed. "Yeah alright." He got a duster and started to dust the place.

Levi scrubbed at the floor again sighing as an awkward silence grew over them. After a few minutes, he broke the silence. "So, will anyone visit you Friday? Visitors come to see how your doing every Friday."

A light scoff was heard. "Highly doubt it...better not come to begin with..." Eren finished dusting as he got a rag wiping everything down.

"Who turned you in? I highly doubt you came willingly." Levi questioned and glanced at his work. "The wall is dusty. Dust it before I bleach it."

Sighing, the brunet got the duster again cleaning up the wall. "My so called friends sent me here, since then I've had some trust issues as well."

"Yeah I know how that fucking feels. Well, I guess we're in the same boat. No one visits me either. All my friends ended up in here with me." The raven stopped when he got to a smudge on the floor and started to scrub at it frantically trying to clean it up. It had been there since he could remember. It never came out. It always sent him over the edge.

"Yeah...well I wouldn't mind having you all as my friends...even if some of you are...interesting." The boy looked over seeing him. "Hey you're scrubbing that quite hard." He came over getting on his knees next to him.

"Hanji comes on a little strong. Trust me, she was the last person I thought would become my friend. She somehow did it though. And Mike... Well he's my fucking savior. He keeps Erwin in check." Levi explained then looked down at the spot and cursed softly. "It won't go away... I've been trying to get it off since I've been here. It ruins my day every time I fucking see it... It needs to go away... It needs to..." His breathing grew heavy as he scrubbed even harder his hands turning red. "It needs too..." He was having a panic attack and quickly feeling like he couldn't breathe.

"Whoa hey hey calm down." Eren placed his hands on Levi's to stop him. "Let me try and help here."

Gulping he looked up at Eren pleadingly. "What if... What if it never gets cleaned...? What if..." He looked down his eyes wide as he continued to try to scrub at it. "What if it's like me and is so disgusting that it can't be cleaned...?" If he was in a good state of mind he would have never admitted to that, but he was crumbling right in front of Eren.

Pulling down the handkerchief, the brunet gazed back at the man. He then pulled him into a hug not even sure what else to do. "Hey you're not disgusting, you are you...nothing is impossible..." Eren just hugged the smaller man to him hoping he would calm down.

The raven tried to squirm away, but it wasn't working so he just broke down in the boy's arms. "Fuck you. How dare you see me like this." He sob clinging to his white shirt tightly. "Why do you even care? You don't even know me... You can't say that... I'm impossible to be clean... I..." Levi broke off crying more before trying to talk again. "I have so many scars on me... So many... I don't like this Eren. I don't like it here. I don't like me... I should have killed myself long ago... No one wants me."

"Don't fucking say that, people need you...you're my friend and I won't let you kill yourself. You can sputter all that nonsense all you want. But I'll still be here...I'll keep my promise...I'll get you out of here...We can get out of here together. But I better not catch you trying to kill yourself." Eren just held him in his arms, he never grew this attached to anyone in his whole life. But this man, who he saw as hard headed as he was, broken down in front of him...He just couldn't leave him like he was.

"... What will happen after you get me out? Will you leave me then?" Levi didn't know why he cared. Eren probably would. It was just a debt that had to be paid. It wasn't anything important. Once Eren left he would be free. Free like a bird. Like an angel he would gracefully leave out of his life. But he didn't want that. Hanji and Mike could leave his life and he wouldn't care but Eren...saw him at his worse. Eren couldn't leave him. Not after these past two days. He was already attached and it wasn't even a week that the brat had been here. His attack slowed down and he was able to breathe again.

His hold on Eren loosened as he composed himself and wiped his tears away. "I'm okay." He just had to keep saying that. He was exhausted. The dark bags under his eyes proved that. He had an urge to sleep with someone. Just curl up under the covers with them and sleep until lunch.

Putting the cap on the bleach, Levi set it to the side with the rag. He stomped on the spot with one foot before going over to his bed and waited for Eren's answer.
Yay I finished another! Also have I said that this is a pretty fast paced story? No? Well it is and there is a reason for it! So don't worry about it! Always love it! I hope you continue to love it too!

We don't own SnK!

I feel like I'm the only one who loves Erwin! XD Geez, I'm so late reading this. You're doing a wonderful job with this! Though, what was the question Levi asked him at the end?
