Levi held Eren's hand tightly, hoping he wouldn't wake up from his shocked stated. Eren had this blank look on his face like he turned into a mindless drone. The manic teen's head buzzed, flashing the memory of Levi repeatedly.

"So, all of that running just to give up?" Chester jeered, wrinkling his nose in disapproval and judgment.

Levi sneered at him, "He just came to his senses!"

Chester opened the police car door for the two, angrily biting his tongue before he got himself into more trouble. Levi relaxed after feeling Eren squeeze his hand.

The frozen boy looked up to Levi, receiving a worried glance from the raven in return. Eren stood on the last step, trying to wake up from his trance, but Levi slowly started to reach under his sleeve. Eren thought quickly.

"Levi," The teen monotoned like a robot. "I'm scared Hange's gonna hurt me." It almost sounded like he was sleep talking.

Levi smiled, forgetting about the tranquilizer. He pulled Eren into an embrace, making his crew slightly uneasy. They knew Eren was in shock, but he could wake up at anytime.

It took Eren a moment to return the embrace. He struggled to fight back against the trance, and after Levi pulled back from the embrace, Eren's focus returned. His breathing picked up again.

"Hange won't get to you if you're with me." Levi assured, noticing Eren's pupils shrink back to normal size.

Eren came to from his trance, but he couldn't just run. Levi was inhumanly fast, and he had a crew of five tagging along with him. He had to be careful because Levi was smart and could always tell when Eren was lying.

"Zeke, Jean, and Christa all lied. They said you did it." Eren said, reaching out to hold Levi's hand. It was cold but soft, and Eren intertwined their fingers together.

Levi scowled at the mention of the three, thinking of a quick lie. He quickly revealed, "They work for Hange. I bet you don't remember that it was Jean who gave you that concussion that made you loose your memories."

"Wait, what?" Eren gasped, losing his gentle character.

He knew Levi was dangerous, but Jean was his long term bully. Then the memory of Jean and the darkness replayed in his mind. He became frustrated with the confusion.

"But that can't be. Jean's my boyfriend, isn't he? I remember kissing him." Eren thought aloud.

Levi slammed his fist into the side of the car abruptly, trying to restrain is fury. Hearing Eren call Jean his lover made Levi want to maul the horseface, but he had to remain calm as to not scare Eren off.

Eren jumped at Levi's action, somewhat backing away. Levi quickly corrected, "He's never kissed you! It was me!" The raven swooped an arm around Eren's waist and yanked him close. "Want me to show you?"

Eren's breath hitched out of fear, nervous that any sound other than the word yes would set Levi off. The teen placed a hand on Levi's chest to create some distance between them; however, Levi's grip tightened as his eyes glared into Eren's head.

"Levi, I believe you, but you're kinda hurting me." Eren timidly said, trying to avoid eye contact.

Levi let him go and demanded sharply, "Get in the car."

If Eren got in the car, it'd be game over for him. He looked inside and scanned across the faces, catching the one holding the door open - Chester. Suddenly head head pounded again, and a memory came to mind. It was his father pouring alcohol all over him after he reject Chester. Then he heard a distant voice say 'He's a rapist!' and then everything came back.
