           Luminance…
            It is the radiant flicker of a lantern beside the foreign bed I am
resting in. Hours upon hours pass as I gaze upon the dim flames. I watch as wax
drips thick droplets from its main source. My teal-green spheres never waver
and dare not to blink. I did not want to miss a single moment.
            Three days ago…I watched so many people in the Recon Corps die.
            We had been out on a mission when an ambush of titans appeared.
Many had thrown their lives under the bus to protect me—somany gallant
humans…It sickened me; sickened me that they would do that for a titan that is
still learning to control his overwhelming power. I mean, what if I lost
control? What would I be good for then? How would I make it up to all the lives
lost while defending me?
            It feels as if I have boulders for shoulders. My burden just keeps
rapidly growing…
            Creak!
            Without really comprehending the noise, my thoughts just become
worse. My mind will not give me the time I need to sleep. I think: Will more of
my friends get hurt? Mikasa? Armin? Le—
            Thump! 
            This time, I gradually turn my head to see Corporal Rivaille
sitting at my side on the bed. I blink heavily at the man and mutter,
“Corporal…” His serious, steel-gray eyes meet with mine.
            “Eren, how many times do I have to repeat myself?”
            “Sir…?” I sleepily stare up at his sharp profile, confused.
            “I’m allowing you to call me by first name, so do so.” He irritably
added, “You’re at my home. No need to be so formal.”
            “Ah…” I sigh then break an amorous grin, “Levi.” He briefly smiles
then pauses, staring deeply into the depths of my hazy eyes. His face instantly
ages when he asks, “How are you feeling? Do you feel any pain right now?”
           Ah, yes…That’s right. I’m injured. I have a bad head injury.
          While attempting to escape the titans, my horse lost control when one
of them had gotten far too close for comfort. My horse steered off the road in
panic and had been short of a jump when conquering this one fallen oak tree. My
mare collapsed the moment its hooves made contact with the bark, sending me
flying off of my saddle. My head slammed face first against the ground, making
the whole world around me revolve slowly. Everyone and everything had become at
this pace. While I was lying there, a spike of pain engulfed my whole entire
head, causing me to lifelessly carry my hands up, just below my slightly
bloody, brown hair. I secured the gashes with my palms, and when I had, my
abdomen and legs tensed tightly against the dying grass. It was the most
painful thing that had ever happened to me and I had done some crazy shit
before (becoming a titan, among all of them).
           “Eren!”Levi nervously called over to me. His horse had dashed over
to where my tattered body was lying. At that point, my eyes had felt very
heavy. I wanted to close them so bad, but couldn’t. Instead, my glassy orbs
gazed up at the man on his horse. The soft morning light peeked past the trees
and had outlined the heroic adult with a gentle, golden-white.
           “So beautiful…”I whispered. “You’re so beautiful, Levi…” The
Corporal looked down at me, utterly surprised. He had heard…I think.
           He jumped off his horse and had knelt down beside me. He ripped off
some of his green cloak then turned my body so that I had been facing him. He
cautiously picked up my head in his delicate hands, wrapping the fabric firmly
around my wound. “Ah! It hurts…!”I moaned. He frowned then nodded.“It will.
Now, hang in tight. We’ll get you help as soon as possible.”
          He had picked me up in his arms before having gotten back up onto his
stallion. I’m sure it had been a funny sight, being that I was much taller than
him. “M-My horse…” I stuttered. “It’s been taken care of. Jean will be taking
it back for you.”He answered.
          The whole ride back to the base was painful—but at the same time, it
was great. I had been enveloped in Levi’s embrace, while one of his hands kept
my head steadily against his beating chest. He had not wanted it to be any more
excruciating than it had already been for me.
          We were almost back at the base when I had forced out, “Who would’ve
thought a titan could get so beaten down by a horse…?”Levi glanced down at me
and slightly chuckled. “Since it’s you we’re talking about, I kind of figured
it would happen at least once.”
          “Hey…What’s that supposed to mean?”
          "That you’re not the brightest.”
          “Gee, thanks, Corporal…”I answered.I noticed that he had been hiding
back a weary smile that had desperately wanted to let loose.
           He looked to have had a lot on his mind that ride back to the
camp…but I disregarded it.
 
                                      ...
 
           “Eren?” Levi’s present day voice carries me back from the past.
           “Y-Yes?”
           “You didn’t answer me,” He raises a brow, “How are you feeling? Are
you feeling any better?” He repeats. I feel my face burn with embarrassment. I
left him hanging. “I feel a lot better than I had a few days ago, thank you.” I
reply.
            “Is that so? Well, that’s good then.” He responds. “I have been
worried.”
            My face and ears become even hotter the longer this man is in my
prescience. Straying a little from my longing for him, I ask, “Levi…The doctors
said that I have a concussion, didn’t they…?” The man stiffens on the spot and
scans my face quizzically. “Yes…They have.” He explains, “But they said that it
is a minor one, which I don’t see how, considering how much blood you lost.”
Levi carries his gray spheres to his hand resting on the white comforter.
“Though I know you’re a tough kid, I will admit that I haven’t seen you look
that bad for a while.” I notice that his face depresses on the spot. I am
finally able to see his weakness. “You had the same look in your eyes as those
that are right about to pass on…” He states. His fingers powerfully clutch the
comforter into his palm. “I have watched all of my good friends die, one-by-
one…yet somehow, I’m still able to go about life normally—but if I was to lose
you, too…” He trails, staring restlessly at me now, “I don’t think there would
be a point to living anymore.”
            My eyes broaden at Levi’s anguished expression. I sit up in bed and
reach for him. I cup his face in my large hands then stroke his light, peach
lips with my thumbs. “I don’t want you talking like that. No matter what
happens to me, I want you to live. I want you to go about life and inspire
people to fight; fight to protect the innocent citizens in town. I want you to
go about life and fight for those that have died; fight for all those people
that have died fighting under your authority.” I elaborate, “You’re their
leader and my leader. We wouldn’t have been able to kill so many titans without
you.” I tentatively rest my bandaged forehead against his. “Plus, without you,
I would have been sentenced to death already—but you saw something in me that
others couldn’t see. And, so you helped make me the fighter that I have always
wanted to be.” I laugh quietly, “Yes, I still have a lot to learn, but that’s
why I need you around to help teach me.”
            “That is, if you’re still alive.” Levi drily tells me. I beam
gratefully. “I’m not going anywhere without a real good fight!” I assure him.
His tense face loosens and for the very first time, he wholeheartedly smiles.
“You better not…” He murmurs.
             With that single smile, my heart skips a few beats.
              Hesitantly, I fill in that last gap between the two of us. We
passionately lock lips, leisurely kissing one another. Eventually, we find each
other yearning for more. That’s when we gradually hype up the kiss by nearing
our bodies closer to the other’s form. Tongues dance slow and steady behind our
cheeks, sending electricity spiraling throughout our every nerve. My body
quivers violently against his as I send my fingertips flying up through his
black hair. His breathing wavers and before I know it, he releases a groan into
my mouth. I feel a smile formulate across my lips as we continue. “Mm, so
sexy…Seeing Corporal all worked up gets me all excited, after all the times he
has tortured me in public…” I breathe against his face. He grabs my chin and
stares heatedly into my glowing teal-green eyes.
              “I’d watch what you say, Jaeger, because I’ll make it a living
hell for you next time…”
              I detach each of his fingers from my face, “Do it. I promise
you’ll be surprised by my response.” I seductively mutter into his perfectly
shaped ear. I nibble the top of his cartilage before sliding my teeth down to
his earlobe. Levi’s neck arches off to its side as I press fond kisses to his
sensitive, pale skin. His breathing is heavy when he grips my shoulders firmly.
“E-Eren, you’re still injured. You should stop for today.” I freeze then let
the wild animal in me gaze rabidly into his eyes. “Don’tstop? Roger that.” I
reply before pushing him forcefully down against the comforter. “You’re as
stubborn as a mule.” He notes. I slid my hand over his budging erection and
smirk when he shivers potently. “Looks like I’m not the only one,” I playfully
stroke the clothed area. “You’re hard.”
              He slaps my hand away and blushes. “H-Hey! What makes you think
you’re on top all of sudden, brat?” I gnaw down on my lower lip as I fantasize
about his irresistible body. “Because your body has already given in to my
every touch.” I add, “My body isn’t half as hard as yours yet.”
              “Tsk. You sick little prick…” He remarks, “You’re a lot cuter
when your head is bashed into the ground.” I awkwardly laugh, “I’m not really
sure whether or not that was a compliment, or…” I trail. “Consider it a
threat.” He replies. I break into a sweat while my lips instantly answer, “Then
consider this my death sentence.”
              I devour his sensual face with millions-upon-millions of gentle
kisses. His body deliberately grinds under mine with the pleasure of each peck.
It turns me on so much that my lower half can no longer bear the erotic feeling
anymore. I toss my shirt off then wiggle off my sweats. The whole time, my eyes
observe Levi’s expression. He begins to accept the fact that we are going to
have sex. “Levi…” I whine as I unbutton his white, long-sleeve t-shirt. When
done, he pulls it off while I work on his jeans. I throw them onto his wooden
floors. “You’ve really done it this time.” He says. I nod, resting a hand on
the back of my head. I abruptly feel myself becoming bashful the second I look
over his nearly bare body. “So, what’s your next move?” He invites smoothly. My
face flushes red. “I-I’m thinking about it…” I mumble. Speculation cloaks his
expression mysteriously. “Oh? Is the famous Eren Jaeger nervous? That would be
a first.”
              “I-I’m not!” I shot back, throwing my hand down over his
erection. Levi’s body jolts up into my hand as he moans, “Ah—!” He lobs his
soft hands down, over mine. “E-Eren…! G-Gentle!” He closes his eyes while he
blows out a, “Damn…”
               And, with that, I’m officially hard.
               I pull off his boxers, shocking the adult. I then proceed by
carrying my lips down to his length. I kiss his tip before allowing his dick to
enter my mouth. Slowly, I suck him off, letting my tongue pleasure the man.
Levi grasps the bed sheets and is left with a musical of sounds. “A-Ah—!
Ahhh…E-Eren…!” My orbs examine his overly pleased face. The monster in me
craves for more raw pleasure, though. I go a little bit quicker this time
around, jerking him off while sucking at his hard tip. “Y-Yes…!” He blurts. I
pull away to feel up his whole body. Now, he is even moresensitive than he was
minutes previous. He twitches underneath my palms; his seductive face begging
me to pick up where I left off.
              Sneakily, he reaches his foot up to the hem of my boxers and
gradually pulls them down. I tug my underwear off and the moment I do, Levi
leaps into action. He pushes me below him then starts sucking me off like a
porn star. “S-Shit…Ah…!” My hands clutch at his jet-black hair when my length
glides in and out of his hungry, wet mouth. Spikes of ecstasy burn down into my
trembling hips in a one second interval of time.
             Through puffs of breath I whisper, “W-Who ever said that you’re
emotionless—d-doesn’t know you like I do…” Levi laughs with me still in his
mouth. He temporarily pulls me out past his lips so that he can say, “Nor will
they everget to know me like you’re able to, because that just means that
there’s one less person fearing me.” I laugh, brushing my fingers through his
messy hair. “And that’s perfectly fine with me.” The roses across my cheeks
brighten. I think to myself: I’m so happy that I’m an exception to that rule.
 
                                      ...
 
            “A-Ah! Shit!” Levi’s lower half arches up towards me as I thrust my
hips down against his ass. The sensation crawls all throughout my body, like an
addiction. The undying heat between us intensifies greatly. “S-So tight…” I
mutter as I try to help Levi get accustom to the raw feeling. “A-Are you okay?”
I call down to him with concern overwhelming my voice. “I’ve been fucking
better…” He mumbles. I sigh. “Would you like me to stop?” I ask, directing my
eyes onto the back of his hair. He hangs his head in shame before glancing over
his shoulder at me. “N-No…That’s not necessary.” I let my lips lightly curl up
into a smile. He’s so stubborn.
            “Okay, but if you get to hurting too bad, let me know right away.”
            “Fine.” He replies with a tad of irritation edging in his throat. I
take ahold of his hips and begin, bit-by-bit, to move steadily inside him. He
keeps his head bowed towards the bed with his shoulders hunched up like a lion
stalking its prey. His breathing picks up speed, as does mine on the heat of
the moment. “E-Eren…” He whispers out my name. I soothingly slide a hand up and
down his back before I grope at his ass. “You’re fucking amazing.” I state.
“Please, keep calling out my name.”
            “E-Eren…!” His tone is more demanding this time. I smirk, allowing
my body to pick up its pace. Both his voice and body immediately react to the
sudden change. “Baby, you could have just said that you wanted it faster.”
            “L-Like hell!” Levi growls out before letting out a long moan,
“Ahhh…”
            “Damn…” I respond. I push harder, deeper. I let my dick feel about
his insides. This drives Levi over the edge. “Eren!” He cries as he arches his
neck up towards the ceiling.
            “I want to see your face.” I tell the man before spinning him
around. I hover over him again, breathing in his expression. My whole face
goes on fire the second my gaze meets with his. His hazy, steel-gray spheres
fixate up into mine. “Y-You happy now…?” Levi broke out. My heart wavers behind
my chest. I beam joyously as I reply, “Yep! Heh, you’re so sexy!” Levi shot a
hand up into my hair, grabbing a nice handful of it before tugging down on a
safe part of my head. “Ouch!”
            “If you become any cheekier, I’ll make sure to top!” He
mysteriously smirks up at me. I laugh happily before blurting out like a little
kid, “Love you, Levi!” The guy pauses—then sighs, freeing my hair from his
clutch. “Tsk!” He clicks his tongue to his teeth. “You annoying, little brat…”
I’m pretty sure that’s his way of saying, ‘I love you,’ back.
            I lean down, pressing steamy kisses against his tender lips. With
every kiss, I thrust deeper and harder, until Levi reluctantly encloses his
legs up around my hips. My heart races at the thought of him feeling good. I
lay on top of him, resting my arms down beside him. I deepen our kiss then
hastily drive my length into his ass. The momentum of my hips gets him to stop
breathing while his twitching legs tighten around me. He tosses his strong arms
up around my neck then groans loudly into my ear, “Oooh…Fuckyeah, Jaeger…!” The
sound of his alluring voice gets me licking my lips in dire need to French kiss
him, over and over again. The feeling of his shuddering body clutching hard
against mine, gets me to passionately swell from the bittersweet spell he has
put over me. Perspiration drips between our bodies as we fuck. The sticky, wet
feeling only got me hornier; Levi being the horniest.
            I lift my hot body up off of Levi’s. The room fills with nothing
but the sound of heavy breathing and powerful moans. I grasp my leader’s legs
and spread them to their full extent before grinding his insides with my tip. I
happen to find his sensitive spot in the process. This gets me veryexcited.
            His fingers dig hard into my neck as he begins to let loose of many
more frequent gasps that crawl up from his throat. “N-No! I-I’ll come if you
keep at this—ah!!” He starts when my body uncontrollably moves on its own. My
whole lower half tingles at the feeling and my head becomes completely foggy.
My eyes were strictly fixated upon the Corporal. The many faces, the blurry
vision, the blushing face—he is fucking perfect!
            Our bodies burn with intense passionate. Still pacing myself hard
within Levi, I purposely lick my lips the second his sexual eyes give into
mine. He hesitantly reaches a hand up to me and rests it onto my face. “E-
Eren—I…I—!” He begins when he abruptly stops short to gasp loudly. My eyes
broaden when I see his next face crawl up across his usually stern expression.
I slow my hips down in response. “A-As much as I hate to admit it—I-I think I
may have fallen for you…y-you stupid brat…” Levi’s flush face brightens, as
does his ears. With the confession, he surprises me with another gorgeous grin;
so gorgeous that it almost gets me jealous. I didn’t want anyone to ever look
at him again. I didn’t want anyone looking past his firm expression, to reveal
thisone. My heart races as fast as my body does.
            “W-W-Wait—! Ah, ngh!” Levi drops his hand down to my shoulder, “A-
Ah, Ahhh!” In sync, our lively bodies jolt. Our throats release long, hard
groans that get our bodies to shiver; goosebumps emerge among the skin. “L-
Levi! Ah!”
            With that, we release our souls into this one bittersweet moment;
sweat dripping, voices ringing out into the air, hearts racing faster than time
itself.
            I topple on top of Levi. My body is exhausted, as is his. I pant
against his chest, feeling my eyes become extremely heavy. His pounding heart
is slowly beginning to reduce back to its normal. It relaxes me so much that I
shut my eyes. “It reminds me of three days ago…” I mutter with a smile, after
catching my breath.
            “Hm?” He questions.
            “Three days ago, when we rode your horse together back to the base
…” I start, “I have gotten the chance to rest my head back against your chest
again, just like that day.” I reopen my eyes for a brief moment so I can look
up at Levi. His gray spheres stare back at me; eyes questioning, but at ease.
Expecting him to answer back with a, ‘Well, don’t get too use to it because
you’ll just end up disappointed,’or a, ‘I was just doing my job as your
boss,’he responds to me with a, “I’m just glad you’re still here and is doing
well…” He sighs, “And, honestly, I feel much more comforted with you at my
side. I’m able to protect you a lot easier that way.” My face becomes redder
than it already is. Embarrassedly, I mumble, “No…I’ll make sure to protect
you.”
            Levi loudly cracks up.
            “W-What’s so funny about that?!” I snap. He wipes a stray tear from
his eye.
            “Because we all know that I’m the strongest person in the Recon
Corps.” He boasts.
            “M-Mikasa’s strong, too!” I defend.
            “Your sister still has a lot to learn. Yes, she’s definitely a
strong one, but she acts very recklessly when a certain someone is involved.” I
feel my face heat up. Yeah, Mikasa has always been very attached to me. I mean,
isn’t that what siblings are for? “That’s true, but…” I trail, trying to think
of something to say.
            There was a long pause.
            “Eren, I think Mikasa may be in love with you.” A sharp pain jabs
me in the heart.
            “Huh? What makes you say that?” I wonder. Seriousness obscures his
face once more. I can just barely see any of his real emotions. “Have you ever
taken a good look at her? At the faces she makes when she’s around you?” I
think. Have I? Just barely. I have always been looking in Levi’s direction that
I never took the time to notice.
            “No…Not really.”
            “Well, I can tell you from years of just watching that she’s really
into you.” He carries his eyes to his side, “She may say that she thinks of you
only as her brother, but it looks as if she doesn’t even know how she really
feels about you.”
            “Well, no matter how she feels, I can only think of her as my
sister. I love her, but as a sister!” I answer, forcing myself to calm down.
Why am I getting so worked up over this? “S-Sorry…I just…” I exhale loudly,
“The only person I could ever feel romantically towards would be you.”
            Levi gazes down at me then presses a chaste kiss into my hair. “I
feel like this is a serious topic. Therefore, I’ll give you a serious answer,
Jaeger.” He rests his hand carefully on my head. “I’m only in love with you,
too.” Caught up in the rare, emotional moment, I feel my soul tremble
contently.
            “I thought you’d never actually come out and say it,” I confess.
“I’m really glad!”
            A beam knits at the corners of my mouth. I’ve never been so happy
before in my whole entire life…Never. Only the man before me can make feel such
a way.
 
                                      ...
                                        
            Luminance…
            It is the radiant flicker of a lantern beside Levi’s bed; the bed
in which I am resting in with the love of my life. Hours upon hours pass as I
gaze upon the dim flames with the help of another. We both watch as wax drips
thick droplets from its main source. My teal-green spheres never waver and dare
not to blink—that being before Levi carries his covertly kind, steel-gray eyes
onto mine. I did not want to miss a single moment staring at the candle…until I
note that there’s something muchmore interesting to stare at.  
            Three days ago…I watched so many people in the Recon Corps die.
            Today, I will try my hardest to prevent any more deaths, even if it
means breaking every single bone in my body. I want to be able to protect my
friends and family. I want to be able to protect Levi if he ever finds himself
in trouble. Plus, I don’t want Levi to lose any more of his good friends. I
just want to see him happy. I just want to see him smile. After all his lonely
suffering, he deserves someone to reach out to him, to say that everything will
be okay. That they’ll always be there for him and that they love him.
            I want to be that person. I want to be the person that he can rely
on.
            With the help of my leader, I get new bandages around my head. He
delicately ties a neat little knot then chuckles. “Brand new.” He simply
states. I slightly cock my head off to its side, “Brand new!” I copy. He
positions a hand onto my face then brushes his thumb against the red on my
cheeks. “This isn’t something that I would say every day, but…you’re so
beautiful, Eren.” He says, causing me to reminisce through a state of déjà vu;
causing me to reminisce back to the day of my injury…Yes. It was the day I
watched Levi run up to me with fear filling his serious eyes. The sun had
shimmered down upon the man.
            …And, to this day—I still see nothing but the calm, morning sun
shining behind him.
