"Why are we turning here, sen—"
"I can't take you out like this." Levi carried Eren into Hanji's office and had him lie down on a comfortable leather sofa by the wall. He rummaged through the closet on the opposite side and fetched out a clean white shirt and black dress pants. Hanji's masculine tastes in couture were a blessing in disguise. Her frame was slightly more built than Eren's.
"I dared not open any other drawers. Are you fine being without any underpants?"
Although Levi delivered those words in a bored tone, Eren could not contain a cheeky smile.
"I don't know, should I be?" he took the clothes from Levi before an idea popped in his head.
The corner of Levi's lips curled in the slightest before he turned around to give Eren some space to change. A hand curled around his wrist instantly causing him to turn around. Eren let go of the red sheet he was clutching over his chest and the cloth pooled around his legs.
Levi dared not let his gaze stray past Eren's flushed face. He gulped in the slightest before stoically saying, "You have no idea what you're doing."
"I don't?" Eren boldly moved forward and cupped Levi's half-mast.
"Don't do th—" Levi groaned.
"Do what?" Eren's hand began stroking Levi's front.
His other hand lasciviously climbed up Levi's torso before it came around his nape. He pulled Levi lower so their lips could touch in the faintest kiss. He boldly swiped his tongue across Levi's lower lip before gently nipping the soft flesh with his pearl white teeth. He could feel Levi's cock become harder and harder in his grip.
Levi gave in to temptation.
He swooped low to ravage the younger male's mouth. Their tongues tangled in a war for domination and their bodies rubbed against each other to feed friction to their painfully aroused members. Levi's fingers grew a mind of their own as they ruthlessly tousled with the boy's hair in an attempt to pull him closer. Eren gasped at the urgency in his movements and shivered close to Levi when he felt something cold against his back. Levi had pinned him against a wall and was ferociously deepening their kiss.
They kept kissing and grinding each other till they were both out of breath. Levi was the first to break away from the kiss.
"Get changed," he walked away and slammed the door on his way out.
Eren stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what went wrong. He quietly dressed and left the room only to find Levi standing outside the door waiting to escort him out.
When they entered the main area, they were greeted with hoots and cheers. Eren bashfully looked away while Hanji continued her over the top cat-calling. Annie and Bertolt scoffed in unison. The Leonhart siblings were in cuffs and Reiner needed two guards on all sides to hold him down. Levi noticed some top police officials talking to Erwin. A medical team assisted Jean and Mikasa before attending to him and Eren. Erwin had really invited the entire parade here.
After the medical team left his side, FBI head Dot Pixis walked toward Levi and thanked him, "Mr. Ackerman, thank you for giving us the tip-off. Our team has recorded all the intel you gathered today and it ha—"
"Hey, hey, hey, recorded what?" Bertolt shouted.
Commander Pixis gave a monk-like smile and extended his hand. Levi carefully plucked out a transparent lens from each eye. Next, he moved his head to the side and pulled out a tiny black cube from his ear. He carefully placed them on Pixis' gloved hand, "I told you, you should have checked us properly."
"That's right," Pixis pocketed the paraphernalia and continued, "He got you on candid camera."
"You little—"
"You can monologue in jail. Sorry it won't be the one you were planning on escaping from."
Annie stole a guilty glance at Bertolt before opening her mouth, "Who told y—"
"You did. When you said you're going to go far away, we found it suspicious. We ran the plates of all the new and old vehicles under your name and also the ones used by your acquaintances. Two trucks registered under Reiner Braun's family, unfortunately with an inbuilt GPS system, were found taking the route from the court house to Kabemaria (see what I did there?) all last week. It was almost too easy to figure out that you were planning on flying the coop. The nail on your coffin was Bertolt's big mouth. Thank you for confessing to all your crimes. Your hearing is cancelled and the authorities have ordered us to take you to maximum security. I doubt you'll enjoy it as much as you'd have Kabemaria."
"Argh," Reiner pushed away the guards in front of him and rushed toward Levi like an unchained cattle cow in frenzy.
His planned attack was thwarted before it began, and he collapsed right before Levi's feet. It was team work. Erwin nonchalantly pulled back his foot and Hanji brushed invisible dust off her elbow.
"I'm happy with my slave, Reiner. I don't need a number 20," Levi said in his habitual flat tone. Eren could not possibly exhibit another shade of red but he did.
Reiner was dragged back and their entire gang was loaded in high security vehicles. Not even Levi knew where they were being taken but he hoped it was hell.

It took them around two hours to reach Levi's place. But boy those two hours felt like two decades with Hanji's non-stop jabber.
Jean, who was riding shotgun in Erwin's six-seater luxury car, checked out the rear-view mirror and found his boss enjoying a forced tranquility. Levi had deliberately shut his eyes and was not even looking at his sister who was sitting right next to him.
In the span of an hour, Jean had developed a massive crush on Mikasa. He'd never met a girl with such a fierce gaze. She was mean and cold and that weirdly made his heart race. He could write ballads about this little firebrand. What he wouldn't give to switch seats with Levi just so he could sit next to that girl.
Erwin, who was driving, had employed a similar policy of not talking. He was attending brisk calls from time to time but his focus was on the road ahead. What interested Jean the most was how Eren kept stealing glances at Levi.
"It was so much fun working with Mr Ackerman," Hanji gleamed from the backseat.
"First and last time, I hope," Levi audibly murmured to make his discomfort known.
Eren decided to voice his discomfort too, "Madam, you should know I would never betray y—"
"I know, Eren. And I completely understand why you had to put up an act and pretend to be Bertolt's slave."
Jean could sense who Eren was really trying to get a reaction from. Why did his boss have to be so clueless about stuff? Let's get this sorted.
"So, umm, Eren is your real name?"
"Ah, that. Yes. I am also, as they said, their gardener's son. It was not a random story. It seems he was too lazy to invent a fake back story, so he told me the real one thinking I had lost my memories. Ha, I bet Mr. Bertolt still hasn't figured out that his all experiments failed, ha," Eren carefully said the words that he hoped grabbed Levi's attention. The boy had not stopped looking at him ever since they got into the car.
"How come you didn't tell us this?"
"If he'd told us that, we'd have reason to suspect that Eren had history with Bertolt. The suspicion would be on him from the start," Levi stated matter-of-factly with his eyes still closed.
"Y-yes. They wanted to get revenge on Madam and I wanted to protect her but after seeing the way they . . . after Armin, I was alone. I had to know what they were planning so they wouldn't hurt Madam. She's the only family I have ever had. My parents . . . my father, he . . ."
"You don't have to say it if you're uncomfortable," Levi may as well have slapped a tape across his face. Jean noticed Eren's desperate green eyes begging for Levi's attention and understanding; that which never came.
"I—yeah. Yes, sorry. Thank you."
"Then what about Emerald?" Jean egged on.
"That was his stage name, of course. We always use the first letter of their real name to make up their stage name," Hanji said pushing her glasses up her nose. "Armin, bless his soul, becomes Angel and Eren becomes Emerald."
Eren continued to look at Levi to get any reaction but Levi simply kept his eyes and mind shut. Unbothered, Hanji continued, "Anywho, Eren. We have really missed you. Since, Levi-san has fulfilled his promise, and you're okay, you can come live with us."
Jean noticed Levi's jaw clench at that last statement. His boss finally opened his eyes and focussed them on the road that was slowly being covered by the shades of early dawn.
