Eren
His body sours through the trees one crisp winters day as he chased after a titan. His eyes burned with rage,again he lost a comrade and he couldn't do nothing to help him. The only thing he could do,was kill the bastard that took his life away like it was nothing. As he inches close to the hideous beast he hears...a wail.
"The hell? "He whips around the creatures head to get a closer look.
There caught in between the titans teeth large teeth was a baby?! It rock's back and forth violently as the creature continues to run,the blanket it in begins to rip.
"I'm sorry. "Eren whispers to himself. He sheathed his weapons and bolts for the falling babe.
The titan notices and tries to whip him away lime a annoying fly. Eren catches the child in time before the beast's back hand could send him flying. Hurriedly, Eren flies in the opposite direction with baby in tow so the creature would catch up with them.
Once in a high and safe distance, Eren checks on the still wailing babe. Blood covered the babies body from head to toe but it wasn't from him,no it was from the meals of the titan. Luckly wasn't harmed only scared and cold.
"Shh, it's okay. "Eren cooed. "You're okay, it's okay, shh. "
It doesn't work. Looking around to conform no one was around, Eren tucks the babe in his cloak and rocks him gently. His voice, like wind chimes, flowed through the air as he sings a warm melody his mother used to ding to him. The baby calms down and soon falls asleep.
"There we go." Eren smiles.
Suddenly the retreat signal shoots up in the sky alerting Eren it was time to go. Carefully,the teen holds the baby close to his chest with one hand and tries to swing back to his squadron.
Minutes later he was reunited with his squadron but none noticed the baby he held inside his cloak. It went un-noticed until they got to HQ when they heard it.
"Uwah! Wah wah uwah!" All heads were turned to see Eren and his crying chest.
He reveals the bloody child as he tries calming him down. "Shh it's okay."
They were amazed to see Eren Yeager calming a child so easily, like it was his own.
"When did Eren have a kid?" A few whispered still in shock.
You could hear Mikasa mumbling curses to the 'supposedly' mother of Eren's child.
"Yeager, whose child I'd that?" Levi asks.
"I'll explain later I need to get this little guy cleaned and could you guys warm up some milk for me please, thanks." The boy says as he hurries inside the castle.
Eren warms up some water in a sink and suds a cloth. He gently places the baby,a boy,in the sinks letting the blood tint the once clear water. The baby seems to enjoy the bath as he splashed it.
"No no no we don't want to do that little guy. "He says stopping him. He places him in the second sink with clear water." Now we can play. "The babe continues to play in the now clean water as the teen rinsed him off.
Eren was able to get a better look at the baby. He had light tan skin and dark ink hair. His eyes were a golden hue color with a hint of grey.
"Eren..."He jumps at the sudden voice of his sister. Her eyes were down casted to the stone floor,her scarf covers her face up to her nose." Whose...Child...is that?!"
Her put burst startled the little baby as well as the older boy. He begins to cry.
"Mikasa! Out you're scaring him!" Eren demand as he picks the baby in a warm towel.
"But..."Mikasa tries to protest but was kicked, literally ,out the room.
Later after the bath
One calmed, Eren explains how he found the baby. This was strange and amazing that the baby was able to survive so long in the possession of a titan.
Eren checks the temperature of the warmed milk provided by Sasha. He even tastes it to make sure it wasn't spoiled.
"Thanks Sasha. "He says before having the little boy drink his much needed meal.
For some reason,a baby in his arms looks so right... Levi thought as he watches the young teen feed the little brat in his arms.
"So...what we going to do about him?" Jean asks.
"He's right,we can't keep a baby here, who knows when we'll have to go into battle again." Armin agreed.
Everyone looks to Levi and Hange for suggestions. Hange was clueless on the matter so she looks to the corporal as well.
"Sigh. The little brat will have to be taken care of by the big brat until I notify the military. They'll know what to do." He replies. He eyes Eren as he pats the little ones back until it burped." Understand Yeager? "
"Hmmm? Oh yeah I can take care of him no problem. "Eren smiles widely. "Isn't take right little guy? Uncle Eren will take good care you~"
"Aye~" The baby cooed.
Too cute~ Everyone thought at the sweet scene.
That Night
Eren was about to get ready for bed. He heads down to his dungeon quarters when he was stopped by Levi.
"You can't care of a baby in there. Come one I'll show you to you're new room. "
He leads them to a room that was already cleaned. A old crib was placed next to the bed.
"The last owners left it here, I had Jean fix it so it wouldn't break." Levi explained.
"Thank you Heichou." Eren says indeed greatful.
"Yeah yeah,go to bed already. That little brat won't stay asleep for too long." With that he leaves Eren and the baby.
Hours later Levi awoke to the sound of the little tots wails. Everyone could hear it echo through the long halls. Once it didn't seem like he was going to stop, Levi gets up to go check on both brats.
Everyone was creeping next to Eren's door,it was cracked open,letting the candle light leak through.
"What are you do..." Levi stopped at the sound of bells that danced in air. It was soft and warm.
He peeks with the rest, though he had to tip toe to even see. There Eren walks around the room,with the babe in his arms as he sings a lullaby.
La la lu, La la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
I'll sweep the stardust for you
La la lu, La la lu
Little soft fluffy sleeper
Here comes a pink cloud for you
La la lu, La la lu
Little wandering angel
Fold up your wings close your eyes
La la lu, La la lu
And may love be your keeper
La la lu, La la lu, La la lu
Once the baby was asleep, Eren puts him in the crib but to be sure he rocks the crib back and forth still humming.
"There now, little star sleeper,dream on." He whispers with a tired smile on his face.
Marry me! Levi thought with a tint of rouge on his cheeks. His subordinates too had a tint of pink on their faces at such a sight and voice coming from the titan shifter.
"Come on let's let them sleep." Armin whispered as the sound of Eren's exhausted snores filled the room.
Gently closing the door everyone departed to their rooms. Levi looked back only once,hesitating to leave, but for the sake of sleep,he leaves the two be.
