Eren wipes his mouth with his napkin, as he finishes eating. It has been hours since Hanji had turned him into half cat creature and he still was well half cat. Eren, to be honest, had no problem with the ears and the tail was fun to play with when bored, but he knew be couldn't go out in public like this. He would he would be laughing stock and if the horse-face found out...Eren shivers. No, let's not go there.

"Oi, Eren are you cold?" Eren turns to the other in the room. He sat at his desk drinking tea. He had finished his dinner before Eren and had gone for some tea. Eren shakes his head.

"No, just a bad thought."

"About?" He asks, sipping his tea, holding his cup that weird way he does. Why did he do it like that?

"About what everyone, especially Jean, would do if they saw me like this." Levi nods and looks out his window.

"Do you not like it?" Eren looks at his corporal.

"Sir?"

"Your ears and tail. Do you not like them?" Eren decided not to lie.

"I have no hatred towards them. And I don't hate Hanji either, for giving them to me. Why do you ask, Corporal?"

"No reason."

"Oh, okay." Since he had nothing else to say or do, he lays back down on his pallet, his back facing towards Levi. He hoped his ears and tail went away soon. He didn't know how long he could be in the same room with this man. This man that he had fallen in love with. When did Eren fall in love with his corporal? He had no idea. But he knew it wasn't right. But still, he had. Eren shivers, this time because he was cold.

"Oi, Eren." He turns over to see Levi standing over him.

"Sir?"

"I have decided not to let you sleep on the floor. You could get sick. Come on, I have a couch in my room." Eren gulps. The Corporal's room. Eren gets up, grabbing his pillow and blanket and follows Levi to the door that Eren had originally had thought was a closet. Levi opens it and walks into the adjoining room. Eren looks around Levi's room. It was a plain room with fresh clean sheets and a spotless floor. A deep green colored couch was pressed against the wall. Levi points to it.

"It is quite comfortable." Eren nods and walks over to the couch.

"Do you have sleep wear?" Eren nods.

"In my cell. Should I-"

"No, stay here. I will get them."

"Okay..." Levi walks out of the bedroom and out of the office. Eren sits on the couch and waits. He just didn't know how to act around Levi. This was his corporal. His superior. He buries his face in his hands. Also the one he loves.

"Oi, did you know your cell stinks?" Eren looks up. Levi stood in the doorway holding Eren's nightwear.

"Eren are you crying?" Eren touches his cheeks. They were wet. His eyes widen and he jumps up and grabs his clothes from Levi's hands.

"No!" He then runs to the bathroom.

Levi had already changed into his nightwear and was waiting for Eren to come out of the bathroom. He hand been in there for a while and he was beginning to worry. Levi stood up and walked to the bathroom door and knocks.

"Eren, are you alright?" The door opens and Eren nods. He was dressed in his nightwear.

"I'm good Corporal. Sorry about that." Levi narrows his eyes and keeps standing there.

"Eren, I am not moving until you tell me why you were crying."

"..." Levi leans closer, resting his hand next to Eren's head.

"Eren..." Eren's ears fold down and he looks away from Levi's piercing gaze.

"It was nothing, Corporal."

"Don't lie to your superior, Eren."

"I don't know why I was crying really." Levi sighs.

"Fine." He moves away. "I set up the couch for you." Levi walks to his bed and sits down. He looks over to see Eren laying on the couch, his back turned away from Levi. That boy as hiding something from him. But, of course so was Levi. So did it really matter? Levi lays down and turns out his light. It was only a few moments of silence until Eren speaks up from across the room.

"Corporal are you asleep?" Levi rolls over.

"No. Not yet. Why?" It was silent for a second.

"I have decided to tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"Why I was upset..." Levi waits.

"Okay."

"Corporal, I...I have feelings for you. Feelings that I probably shouldn't have, but I can't help it. Every time I see you, my heart speeds up, I grow nervous and hot because of you. And even if you are disgusted by this and my feelings. And even if you push me away and decide to throw me in the cell and lock me away forever, I think my feelings for you won't change. I just, well to sum it up, I have feelings for you. I am in love with you, Corporal." It was silent for a moment, and Levi was sure it was torture for Eren. But he had to take this in. Eren was in love with him? So the feelings Levi feels are not one sided?

"Corporal? Are you angry with me?" Levi sits up and walks over to Eren's place on the couch.

"Eren." Eren turns over and looks up at Levi. Levi pulls Eren up to sit upright and then sits next to him.

"You are in love with me Eren?" Eren nods, looking down at his hands folded in his lap. Levi gives a small smile in the dark, the room only lit by the moonlight. He lifts Eren's chin and looked deeply in the boy's eyes. They were filled with unshed tears.

"Eren..." His eyes meet Levi's.

"Yes, Corporal?" He leans closer to Eren, just inches away from the boy's lips.

"I am in love with you to." The he presses his own lips to Eren's lips. He stiffens and then relaxes against Levi's and kisses back hesitantly. Levi wraps his arms around Eren's waist, pulling him closer to him. Eren runs his fingers though Levi's black locks, curling around the hair around his fingers. Levi was the first to pull away, to breathe. He looks at Eren. The cat ears were straight up and one twitched. His tail had wrapped around Levi's leg. Levi cups Eren's cheeks.

"Eren, would you like to lay with me?" Eren's eyes widen but then he nods.

"Yes...that would be nice." Levi stands up with Eren's hand in his.

"Eren, leave the blanket and pillow there. You can share with me." Eren nods and follows Levi. Eren sits on the bed, while Levi walks to the other side and sits. They lay down and face each other.

"Goodnight, Eren." Said Levi.

"Goodnight Levi..." Eren closes his eyes. Levi smiles and kisses Eren's forehead.

"I love you, Eren." Then Levi closes his own eyes.

~Next Morning, brought to you by cupcakes~

Hanji knocked on Levi's door. No answer. That's weird. Levi had missed breakfast. Maybe he was with Eren. Hanji turns knob and pushes it open.

"Levi?" The office was empty but the door to the bedroom was cracked. Hanji tiptoed over to the door and pushed it open.

"Oh my..." Hanji grins at the sight in front of her. Levi laid his arms around Eren, who had his arms wrapped around Levi. Hanji also saw that Eren's ears are gone. She smiles and backs out quietly. She sneaks out the office and shuts the door.

"Finally." She whispers and walks down the hall, smiling happily.

Eren wakes up to a bunch of things. First, the bed he was in, was soft. Second, there was an unfamiliar yet comforting warmth around him. And third, his head felt lighter. Suddenly everything came back to him. The ears and tail, staying with Levi, his crying fit, his sudden confession and the kiss. Eren couldn't believe it, Levi said he loved him. He felt his partner shift and the shorter male laid his head on Eren's chest.

"Levi?"

"Hm?" Came a sound.

"I think we have missed breakfast." Levi sits up and looks at Eren.

"Are you hungry?" Eren's stomach growls. Levi chuckles.

"I will take that as a yes, I will go. Wait a second."

"What?" Levi touches Eren's head.

"Your ears are gone." Eren touched his head.

"You are right." Eren looks under the blanket.

"Tail is to." Eren could see the hole where his cat tail had been.

"Shame. You were cute with them." Eren frowns.

"Am I not without?" Levi leans forward and presses his lips to Eren's. He pulls back.

"I love you before the ears Eren, and I will love you after the ears." Eren smiles. Levi gets up.

"Go get dressed Eren, then come back here." Eren gets up and nods.

"Everyone should be at training so no one will see you. Now go." Eren nods, pecks Levi's lips and runs out. Levi smiles gets up to get dressed.
