"Eren, get off!" Levi grunted trying to shove the boy off him. "You're freaking me out!"

"What did you say, brat!" Eren growled. The fuming teen ran a hand up Levi's shirt. "You're gonna stay and give me what I want."

Levi skillfully kicked Eren off of him and got to his feet. He grabbed his mask and pulled it on along with his hood. Eren came back and pinned him to the wall, a manic look in his irises. Since Levi had his face covered, Eren attacked his neck. Instead of kissing, he bit Levi's neck and lapped up his blood like a vampire.

Levi groan in pain, making Eren bite harder. The raven managed to shove him to the ground and escape to the unit common room. Everybody's head snapped to the hooded kid as he backed away from Eren's door.

"Hey, kid," Christa worried. She reached out a hand to him. "Are you okay?"

"Don't touch him!" Eren shouted from his room doorway.

Levi wanted to tell him to calm down, but his voice would giveaway his cover to everyone. Christa jumped back, seeing Eren walk in with a malicious growl under his breath. Zeke and Jean stepped in front of Christa and Levi.

"Eren, are you feeling okay?" Zeke asked cautiously.

Eren's arm twitched, then his head. The nurse called out for back up and labeled him as a danger threat. The unit psychiatrist came running in and tried to calm Eren, but he wasn't focused on anything but Levi.

"Come...here...now." Eren demanded coldly. "Or else."

Everyone glanced around to see who he was talking to. Levi knew Eren would lose it if he disobeyed, so he slowly made his way up to Eren. The room gawked as Eren took hold of Levi's hand and placed his lips on his knuckles in a sweet kiss.

"Good," Eren praised. "Now, go to our room and stop causing trouble."

"Eren why are you acting like...him?" Jean shivered, uncomfortable with Eren's new aura.

Levi glanced back at Jean, but a hand suddenly grabbed his jaw and refocused him to Eren. Once Eren was distracted, a nurse snuck up behind them and sedated Eren. The teen fell to the ground, and the room remained silent for a moment as they all tried to comprehend what happen.

"Get him restrained and to my personal office. I'm going to evaluate him." The doctor directed. The nurses did as told and laced him in a restraint jacket. The doctor then turned to Jean. "You made a remark that Eren was acting like someone else. Who?"

Jean looked to the ground. "It's like he's been possessed by...Levi"

Eren finally came to. He began to struggle but soon realized his binds, and the psychiatrist sat quietly in front of him, waiting for him to calm down. Eren was restrained more than usual. He had his regular straight jacket, but now, he also had a mask to keep him from biting and belts that held back his legs from kicking. The only movement he had was breathing, blinking, and talking.

"Mr. Yeager, can you explain the fit you had a few moments ago?" The doctor calmly asked.

Eren scanned the room, taking note of the large group of nurses there for security. His body ached, and claustrophobia made him severely uncomfortable.

"He's mine." Was the first thing that came to Eren's blank mind.

The doctor wrote something down before continuing to ask, "Who is yours?"

"Levi - give him to me." Eren mumbled, irritation huffing in his voice. "Levi...Levi...Levi..."

"Levi is gone." The psychiatrist deadpanned. "He recently escaped from prison and has been missing for a bit."

Eren cackled like a lunatic, sending a shiver down everyone's spine. The brunette suddenly went dead quiet. "He's mine. He doesn't have a choice."

The doctor paused before nodding to a nurse. She left and came back with Levi, hooded and masked. Eren grinned and stared at him.

"So, you're saying that this is Levi?" The psychiatrist stood and walked next to Levi. Eren growled like an animal as he laid an arm across the raven's shoulders.

"Don't touch him!" Eren shouted, thrashing in his restraints. "He's mine!"

"This is not Levi, Mr. Yeager. This is a patient here at Rose Wall Asylum."

Eren cooed, "Mon Amour~" Levi looked up to him. "Kill them...right now."

The psychiatrist went to speak, but like a lighting strike, Levi revealed a hidden scalpel and sent it into the doctor's neck. The nurses froze with dread and shock, giving Levi time to pull off his mask and lower his hood. He turned to the nurses cowering in the corner.

"Don't make me repeat myself." Eren growled.

A nurse screamed, but Levi pulled his scalpel out of the doctor's neck and lunged at her. Nobody noticed the screaming from the room, since screams were normal in the asylum, but if the staff that were passing by had looked down, they would have seen the puddle of blood creeping under the door.

Once Levi had finished his carnage, Eren ordered him to take off the restraints. Levi only stared with a wistful look, ignoring him and moving to the doctor's desk. He started to go through Eren's file.

"Patient shows signs of D.I.D. and delusions." Levi read to himself. "Another patient has pointed out the similarity of Yeager's odd behavior and an escaped convict by the name of Levi Ackerman. Possibly a coping mechanism due to amnesia."

Levi found himself smiling a worried grin as he slowly looked up to Eren. The teen glared back at him.

"I don't act like this," Levi mumbled to himself as he approached Eren, "do I?" Eren cursed at him and commanded for Levi to let him go. "Is this how you see me, mon amour?"

Eren paused hearing Levi call him by his pet name. The raven watched Eren's eyes flick back to his usual self, which brought some relief to Levi. Eren's conscience came back, and the realization of everything hit him.

"W-What have I done?" Eren panicked, looking towards the corpses. "Levi? What did you do?"

Levi noticed fear starting to consume Eren. The raven pulled the mask off of the teen and began to untied him, but once Eren was loose he feel to the floor and gripped his head.

"Red, everything's red!" Eren howled with pain.

Levi panicked, realizing Eren was starting to remember the red room. He thought quickly and pulled the brunette's head up to meet their eyes. The grey in Levi's irises eased the agonizing pain, making the red in Eren's mind fade.

"You killed them Eren," Levi persuaded, "but it wasn't your fault. I still love you."

Eren's mind was pulsing with confusion as his morals clashed together. He believed Levi told the truth, but he watched Levi kill them. Eren began questioning himself, if he really saw what Levi did or was he blaming someone else for what he did.

"Why did I do that?" Eren mumbled. "Red...everything's red."

Levi took advantage of Eren's delusional and vulnerable state and convinced him that he killed the psychiatrist and the nurses. He laid Eren to his chest and reminded Eren of his lies - how Jean killed Mikasa and Sasha, how Hange wanted to kill him, how he was the the only person who Eren could trust.

"I'm so tired, Levi." Eren sluggishly said, relaxing into Levi's torso.

"Sleep, mon amour, and when you wake up, this will have never happened."
