"So you're saying that Eren isn't your full brother?" Levi asked as Y/N nodded.

"Yeah. The Commandant said Dad said it himself."

"So... Are you going to tell Eren about this? Especially when the Mission to retrieve Wall Maria is just close. We don't know what will happen to neither you nor Eren."

Y/N thought about it as she sighed. The two shorties were inside Levi's room after visiting Keith Shadis. Y/N was sitting on the sofa while Levi was standing in front of her.

The rest of the Levi Squad wanted to ask Y/N why she cried and what made her cry. The Lance Corporal ordered the others to not bother her for a while and do something else.

"Well. I've already prepared for that." Y/N replied. Levi was curious about what Y/N had planned."If I somewhat disappear or get kidnapped, look below my bedsheets and you'll find a diary."

Levis stood silent then crouch down at Y/N sitting level taking her hand in his.

"Since we'll be partnered up together, I'll promise that I'll keep my eye on you at every time as your lover and Captain." Levi kissed Y/N's hand making her blush. Levi stared at Y/N's eyes softly. "Y/N Yeager. You stole my heart just like how you stole that one titan kill count from me"

"Y/N!" Eren called Y/N who had just come out of Levi's office.

Y/N's body tensed as the boy came up to her.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Eren worriedly asked as Y/N just gave a smile that tried to conceal the truth away from him.

"Everything is fine. I just cried about what Mom told about us being special and all." Y/N chuckled making the atmosphere a bit lighter. Eren's face turned to relief.

"I see..."

"By the way Eren." Y/N placed a hand on Eren's shoulder. "Do your best but please take a rest"

Wearing the same green raincoat uniform, Levi and Y/N along with Commander Pixis, Hange and Erwin stood around the table. The box containing the titan injection was placed on it.

"Sorry, I'm late." Premier Dhalis Zachary had arrived as he sat on the chair. "Well? Have we discovered what's inside the container?"

"The thing is... with our technology, I'm afraid we can't dig much deeper. Like we've heard from Eren, Y/N and Historia, it seems to originate from some sort of human bodily fluid. However, it vaporizes when in contact to air making analysis difficult." Hange explained. "Whoever who made it have had technology far superior to ours. If it was the Reiss Family, I can't imagine how."

"Hmmm... In that case, instead of tampering with it, we should use it to achieve our current objective." Pixis advised.

"But who do we entrust it to?" The Premier asked then turned to Erwin. "Erwin, to you?"

"No... I'm no more than a wounded soldier. This box belongs to one of the elites who have the best odds of survival." Erwin answered while he touched his missing right arm. "Levi, would you keep it?"

"If it's an order, just say so" Levi answered as Y/N quietly enlace her arm to Levi's. "Why even ask that question?"

"We can't predict what situation we'll have to use this. We'll be relying on you to decide on the fly. Judging by when or who you use it on will be for you to choose." Erwin stated as Y/N squeezed Levi's arm. "Can we leave it to you?"

"If this dream of yours comes true, what will you do then?"

"I... Don't know. It won't until it happens.

"

I see... Alright. I'll do it." Levi answered as Y/N closed the lid of the velvet box and gave it to Levi.

"By the way, I'd like to unveil that work of mine soon. Have you given thought to it?" Premier changed the subject.

"You still haven't given up about that?" Pixis asked. "If the public saw that repulsive display, trust in the military would hit rock bottom."

Y/N glanced at the Lance Corporal who was looking down. The girl gave him a small pat on the back as she gave a smile when she had caught his attention.

___________________________

Another business thing. Y/N puffed a sigh silently as she held Levi's hand. Levi and Y/N sat on a side of the room while Hange and Erwin review the findings to some people.

The mission to retake Wall Maria was coming close. Y/N had noticed that time by time when the mission is getting closer, Levi was becoming very affectionate and caring. Y/N willingly smiled just by thinking of it.

The two even slept together.

Though despite that Y/N was a bit nervous about the upcoming mission making her palm sweating. Day by day when the mission is coming close, Y/N and Levi trained more intense than usual.

Levi had noticed Y/N palms were sweating and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and begin to wipe the sweat away then stole a kiss from Y/N's cheeks.

"In other words, Eren and Y/N Yeager's father, Grisha Yeager is likely a human who came outside of the walls," Erwin spoke after he had placed a paper on the table.

"Yes. Just like Annie, Reiner and Berthold, he possessed the power of the titans. But different from those three, he was supportive of humanity within the walls." Hange added.

"If he was so interested in the scouts and such, we could've used more support of his." A man replied.

'If Mom isn't my real mom then... Dad is from outside the walls. Could I be from outside of the walls? But Shadis never said anything of Dad bringing a child with him. Then how??' I thought.

"From the moment he entered the walls he was searching the royal family alone. And that's not something you do without incredible resolve. That same father wanted to show his 19-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son, eager to join the scouts, the basement of their house." Hange continued. "On death's door, he said the truth of it all is under that basement. What in the world do you think is down there?"

Y/N sighed.

"Things we mustn't be said. No. Things Grisha Yeager couldn't say even if he wanted to. That which the First King wiped from our memories... Memories of the world..." Erwin answered as Y/N's eyes lighten looking at the Commander with inspiration. "Pondering about it here won't accomplish much. The preparations finished today. The operation to retake Wall Maria is in two days."

Y/N's whole face turned to light in admiration for the Commander.

"Want to know what's in the basement? Let's go see it for ourselves. Isn't that what scouts do?" Erwin gave a motivational smirk.

"YEH! LET'S CUT THEIR DICKS OFF!" Y/N shouted in motivation as she stood up but got immediately pulled down by Levi who had the complete opposite of energy. Though Levi was happy that Y/N would be bubbly for once.

"Let all your squads know."

"Right. Keeping it a secret of course."

"On a day like this, we deserve some meat right?"

Y/N eyes brighten once again by the simple word 'meat' mentioned.

"Good idea. We gotta show those kids we adults can be counted on. What about Commander Shadis keeping secrets from us?" A man asked.

"Forgot about him. We don't have time to deal with it." Hange answered as they and the other people went out of the room.

"I'm so shocked Hange. You used to adore him."

"Shut up!"

And with that Y/N closed the door with a chuckle as she stood next to Levi who looked at Erwin.

"What is it, Levi, Y/N?' Erwin asked as Y/N pointed to Levi who wanted to ask Erwin a thing.

"It's a bit hasty but... What will you do after retaking Wall Maria? I'd guess a defence plan comes first but... After that?"

"Eliminating threats. Outside the walls, there seems to be someone hoping titans will eat us all." Erwin answered. "Of course the answer who is in the basement, I imagine. It's as I said earlier we'll plan that after the basement."

"I'm asking this because you might not live long," Levi answered coldly. "You can't exactly movie like you used to.

One thing Y/N had also noticed was that Levi was stuck with Y/N. Afraid to lose the person he cares about so much. That's why Levi confessed to Y/N as soon as possible.

"Let Hange call the shots. You'll be dead weight. Let the good news come to you. We'll tell the others I argued till you gave in. No... That's what I intend. Fine with that?"

Erwin looked at the side not facing Levi. Y/N had also agreed to let Hange call the shots because Erwin is a wounded soldier. Erwin was like a father figure to her, a very admirable person, to her. A father figure when her father had disappeared.

"I'm not..." Erwin answered making Levi and Y/N look at him dumbfounded. "I'm fine being food. Use me as bait. The chain of command remains. If I'm gone, then Hange. If Hange's gone, the next. This operation indeed would be dangerous but to humanity, it's more important than anything else."

'Of course. Erwin dedicated his heart to humanity at any cost even his own life. I, too, dedicate my heart to humanity.' Y/N thought 'but... I can't afford to lose the last bit of a father figure I have. He already lost his arm but what next?'

"That's why I've got to such lengths. This is all my plans. If I won't do it, the success rate will plummet."

"That's right the operation might fail but... If you fall through with all in the process we're shittily done for." Y/N answered.

"So just sit at your desk and keep using your head. That's the last thing the Titans want. And for humanity. It's the best thing going for us." Levi added.

"No, you're wrong. Our best option to me is to gamble it all"

"Oi oi oi oi hold up. Keep using that bluff around me and I'll break those damn legs of yours. I'll make it nice and easy to attach later. But the operation to retake Wall Maria will proceed you weeping here." Levi said.

"It'll be a bitch to get to the toilet though." Y/N chuckled bitterly.

"I'd like to avoid that." Erwin chuckled softly as he faced to the side giving a smile. "What you're saying is right. A wounded soldier should stay out of the battlefield." Erwin stopped smiling and looked at us with full determination.

"However..." Erwin stated seriously. "There will come a moment where we'll learn the truth of the world... And I must be there for it."

"Is it that important for you?" Levi asked as Y/N chuckled at his question. Levi took a step forward. "More than your legs?"

"Yes," Erwin answered with no hesitation.

"More than humanity's victory?"

"Yes."

'Erwin... Curiosity killed the cat. I don't know if you'll take that idiom seriously.' Y/N thought.

"I see..." Levi took Y/N's hand as he took the door handle in his other hand and looked back at Erwin. "Erwin... I'll trust your judgement."

"Me too!!" Y/N exclaimed as the two shorties left the room.

_____________________________

All Y/N could do was a wheeze, laugh and cackle from the scene.

"Sasha is even worse than a titan when it comes to meat no offence sweetie," Y/N said as Sasha bit Jean's hand thinking it was meat while Connie tried to lock Sasha's movements.

"Do the scouts never get fed any meat?" Bowl boy Marlo asked as he the opposite of Sasha and the rest of the meat hungry scouts calmly eats meat.

"The answer is right in front of you, bowl boy," Y/N answered.

"Pathetic." And thanks to motherfucking karma Bowl Boy Marlo got punched so hard by Sasha as a huge squirt of blood came out.

Y/N laughed once again as she stood up and knocked Sasha over unconscious. "Sorry, dear but we gotta tie you up from going to a rampaging meat-eating fest."

Thanks to Eren and Connie's help the three successfully tied Sasha to a wooden pole as it finally became quiet.

"Can you believe this freak? And to think she once offered to share meat with everyone." Connie said as Y/N chuckled putting her elbow on Connie as she leaned on him.

"Huh? When?" Eren asked.

"Four months ago when we cleaned the canons idiot," Y/N answered chuckling. She remembered it like it was yesterday. "Ah, those days."

Y/N noticed Eren was remembering those times though she also knew Eren was also remembering the time when Berthold attacked us.

"Oi Eren." Connie patted his back.

"Only four months have passed since back then?" Eren asked.

"Only four months. But think in just 4 months we're in Levi Squad." Connie reassured as Y/N smirked. "We climbed in the ranks in a flash."

"I've got the highest record out of y'all kids. Just by meeting, the Lance Corporal for the second time properly, he wanted me to become a part of the squad." Y/N snickered.

"Yeh yeh whatever." Connie rolled his eyes jokingly giving out a cackle.

"It's because you're a genius." Eren placed his hands each on Connie's bald head and mine.

"Damn straight I am" Connie answered as he gave a light punch on Eren's stomach.

"Of course. I'm your amazing sister after all. Plus I'm beautiful." Y/N flipped her hair as her ego began to inflate.

"Let's eat before our food gets cold," Connie suggested.

"I gotta check onto something for a bit. Don't worry I'll come before Sasha could untie herself." Y/N left the building as she sat on the stone stairs on the road.

The road was abandoned because of families staying inside. It made the place a bit peaceful.

Y/N began to think instead of relaxing. One thing that Mikasa had advised Y/N in training was to always stop theorizing about more in humanity. But Y/N couldn't stop herself.

Y/N look back behind her and front to see if anyone is passing by though no one was there. The girl inhaled and exhaled before she closed her eyes.

When she had opened her eyes the sight and feeling of the white sand under her. She was in the paths. She looked at the white bright tree admiring it like it was the first time she was here.

Y/N looked around to find Ymir Fritz but she isn't spotted anywhere. The girl sighed to herself.

'Be careful, Y/N." The girl heard a whisper in her ear as she looked behind her and saw Ymir Fritz.

Without further more explanation, Y/N closed her eyes due to something. Though she knew it was Ymir's doing.

Y/N came back to the real world and panted a bit. The real reason why Y/N wanted to visit Ymir Fritz is to give her answers but she guessed that Ymir doesn't want to.

All Y/N could do was a sigh as she stand up and headed back into the building. She was greeted by two idiots of were fighting once again

"You're so full of yourself, you pig shit!!!!" Jean yelled at Eren.

'This feels deja vu.' Y/N thought as she silently sit beside Mikasa who is also watching the rivalry.

"You trying to grow out the hair on your mane, you horse face!!!" Eren shouted back.

The two began to grip each other's collars until Eren threw a punch on Jean's guts making Y/N go oww.

Jean then returned the favour and punched Eren in the guts as well making Y/N go motivated by watching the fight alongside some other scouts.

"Bets anyone??! Who do you think will win??! Horse Face or Pig shit!? Place your bets, fellas!" Y/N talked out with the other scouts with a big egotistical smirk on her. The scouts placed their bets in Y/N's small bag as she remembered the beters names. "HAHAHAHAHA. I GET TO KEEP ALL OF THE MONEY IF LEVI COMES IN AND KICKS THEM TO SHIT BEFORE ONE OF THEM WINS."

Despite Y/N's bet, the scouts still wagered.

After taking all of the beters money with a huge smug grin Y/N sat beside Mikasa watching the scene with excitement.

"But seriously..." The two stopped for a bit to take a break.

"Ah?"

"If you didn't have those titan powers, you'll be dead ten times over. And then, Mikasa and Y/N would swoop in and save your ass. If you insist on being suicidal, I'll just have to kill you!" Jean punched Eren's guts once more.

"That's something I'll have to take to the heart! You should show more respect to your mother, Jean-boy!!" Eren gave Jean another powerful punch.

"Would you forget that!!!" Jean have Eren another punch as Y/N's betting business rose while she gave a maniacal grin looking at the money on her almost full bag.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Armin asked who looked like the only person in the room who is concerned.

"No... I think he's fine." Mikasa answered as Y/N agreed with a huge grin.

A few minutes have passed and the other scouts were still waiting to see who'll win because of Y/N holding the bets.

Though Eren and Jean looked like they were so tired but likely they were so bad at showing it. The two gave very light punches at each other while maintaining a weird looking face.

"In three, two. And one" Y/N counted as the exact time Levi came in and kicked the two idiots in the guts letting Y/N keep the bets with a full amount of joy in her face while the scouts who beted were dumbfounded and sad.

"Levi, my love!!!! You won me a pack of luck!" Y/N came up to Levi like a child as she carried the full bag of money with her. Levi ignored Y/N's antics and looked at the scouts around him.

"You're all too damn rowdy. Go to sleep and clean this up." Levi ordered.

"Yes sir!!" All of the scouts answered with no exceptions.

"Armin, Mikasa. Take care of my idiot brother for me, okay?" Y/N asked the two as they nod in response.

The two shorties walked back to Levi's office.

"You made me a fortune, Levi. Thanks" Y/N nudged Levi lightly.

"How much did you even gambled for me?" Levi asked as he looked at the bag full of money that Y/N was holding tightly.

"I don't know. But I do know that I am gonna be richer than you. And I gambled all of today's monthly salary." Y/N snickered.

Levi just replied with a small laugh from Y/N's crazy antics.

"I thought you're going to spend tonight with those kids?"

"Hmm... I've already spent the day with them. I woke just before the sun rose and begin to train then after that I goofed off with those kids." Y/N explained.

The two shorties stopped when they heard three voices speaking. It was Mikasa, Eren and Armin.

"Once we retake Wall Maria and defeat all of the enemies coming after us... Will they come back? Those days..." Mikasa asked. The two shorties decided to listen more.

"We'll bring it back, but some things are changed forever," Eren answered. "We'll make them pay for that."

"Yeah..."

"But there's more than that. The sea... A salt lake so big so that merchants could spend their whole lives and still not get all the salt." Armin described with a wholesome smile. "There's more than titans outside the walls. Fiery water, land of ice, sandy snowfields... I joined the scouts so I could see that."

"Y-yeah sure you did," Eren answered as Armin stood up and opened his arms wide.

"Right?! Let's start by seeing the sea! I still doubt that it's real, Eren! You'll see! It does exist!" Armin happily exclaimed as Eren snickered.
