"Did you decide what we're doing?"

He lets out a shaky breath and look at the navy blue door as he stood in the sidewalk. Just 3 steps and he would be there. “Honestly I dont know. Come home”

When Mikasa turns to look at Eren with that face, he cant help his heart from skipping a beat or two. It was a unique expression that he could not resist into wanting to hold her and protect her so she could keep on showing him. He can feel his expression becoming gentle as he leaned a little closer to reaffirm her.

““of course we will be with you always Mikasa”” and the words rang with pure trust and truthfulness.

“if we are there, we will be with you till the end” Levi replies smoothly by her other ear and moves his hand to touch the other side of her face but Eren was there on that space. Mikasa could feel a sudden shiver from the younger man and Levi brushes a bit of his face against her jaw.

Then there was a crash of thunder, the light go out and a short but lewd grunt fills the space between them as Mikasa’s hand pulls at Levi’s hair. The older man replied instinctively by gripping at her waist where one hand rested and into Eren’s neck to where he had been touching just previously. Mikasa could hear audibly has her previous boyfriend thickly swallows and lets out a gasp before just turning his face against Mikasa’s while also exposing more of his neck slightly.

The noises were loud in the sudden obscured and silent room. Levi is the one to reply first as he undoes his grip on them both and very very slowly starts to move back. “its- umm.” “ I-” He lets out a soft cough to clear his throat and continues. “ I am going to flip the breakers. They in the basement-”

“” Dont run”“ Came firmly from Eren right by Mikasa’s neck as she could feel the man behind her run his hand that was slightly under her shirt and having been resting around her waist move up slightly upwards, brush against the lower part of her bar and slide out to hold the other man where he was, Eren even pulled Levi closer pressing a little more against Mikasa.

““ right Kasa. You wont run either and you dont want him to go… right?”“ Eren said to both of them but this time here was a soft shyness in the tone. The young man was taking a gamble and he was waiting on the other two to see if this gut feeling was correct.

Mikasa’s mind was flooded with a thousand different thoughts at that moment as her breathing completely stopped feeling Eren pull Levi closer to them. Feeling a hand crawling up her stomach, her breathing started again as she only saw darkness around them and not either of the men.

“I…I don’t know…Eren you know I’m scared of the fucking dark…” It sounded like a whimper as she turned a bit thinking she was looking at the brunette, but was probably looking towards a wall instead. She hated feeling like she was weak especially in front of either of them, but she knew she had to be open about the fear. It was something they were working on…being open about their feelings.

“I don’t want either of you to go, but I also don’t want to feel like there’s going to be a monster grabbing any of us especially after the movie.” Her tone was completely innocent as she felt Eren pull Levi closer into her. Feeling Levi’s shoulder near her, she leaned her forehead against him trying to take a deep breath and calm herself down.

A bolt of lightning had hit the ground somewhere sending a flash of light through the room for a moment before a crash of thunder followed it closely. The rain was picking up as well as one of Mikasa’s hands gripped Levi’s wrist and the other grabbed Eren’s thigh both having a death grip.

In the dark he can heart their soft breathing, Eren is particular warm, he can feel him over his clothes. In this obscure, quiet moment he can just close in that space and take her lips in his until they are breathless and with a soft turn he can do the same to him. His heat and her softness and their warmth. He can just lean in and take.

It is Mikasa whimpering that sobers him up. She is honestly scared and he should know better. Mikasa was here now and he knows that scary movies or stories alike are not her thing and that she indulges in them when she feel safe and secure. She was normal and he and the brat were just been insensitive bastard. He could feel a wave of mortification wash over him at how he let himself be rolled over with fantasies. He was glad it was dark, he was sure his face was red.

When she leans to rest against him he follows and at her sudden death grip on his wrist he swallows and lets her do as she pleases as well. His friends know that he does not like to be restricted or manhandled but even if for a brief moment he felt his heart ate spike he knows she means no harm to him. None of them do.

“ It is going to be alright. I am going to walk right there to the fire mantle and light one of the candles first. Eren will stay with you and guard you and I will just walk down to the basement and reset the breaker box...” He had moved his other hand and reached in the dark to touch her head. It took him a moment since it was dark. “This is my hand ok....” “here we go...” He can tell her hair from Erens and he runs his fingers gently as he presses the arm that she was holding for dear life in between them. He stretches his fingers to touch a chin.

““ thats me”“ Eren comments to which Levi replies “you alright brat.” ““yeah”“ it comes out a little soft and restrained but Levi doesnt catch it.

Levi pats his face gently and then finds Mikasa’s face. He dares to guide himself closer to her and gives her a very soft kiss by the side of her chin and cheek inches from her lips. “We are all going to be alright. Just be a good girl for me ok..” He is voice is soft but commanding and he starts to untangle his legs from him both and pulling away. There was a soft grunt from Eren at the desentangle and Eren wraps both his arms around Mikasa’s waist and craddles with more softness that he usually does. He alternates with running a hand over her hair. “” I got you Kasa...”“ He softly speaks.

There was a screeching of the coffee table as Levi pushes it and pats his way. It was his home and he knows the steps and distance of the items around the home. He would never accept that he has counted steps to make sure the items are neatly placed after he vacuums and cleans, he just wishes he had stopped at 2 full glasses of wine before. “Stay in the sofa or ya will throw me off.”

He reaches the mantle and breaths and pats softly with his fingers until he finds the wooden box there. Inside there are copies of his house keys, other miscellaneous and he softly smiles as he feels the cool silver lighter. He kept it there just in case Erwin stops by which he never does anymore....

He pushes he sour thought away and with a flick and a click he lets the flame give them some soft light. He turns to the other two and keeps a soft smile on his face. “its alright...” He knows where the large white decorative candle is and lights it up just to place the candle inside the crystal bowl with the bottom of the popcorn. He didnt want to get wax on the table. The light its soft and around them and then he is making his way around the table to go to the basement.

“I will be back and remember... “ He leans back unto the sofa and tugs Mikasa’s blanket gently “ The only monster in my house its me...” and with that he was gone with lighter in hand.

Eren just leaned his head against the sofa for a moment and lets out a sight.

“”How did you meet this man Kasa? I cant even..”

"Did you decide what we're doing?"

He lets out a shaky breath and look at the navy blue door as he stood in the sidewalk. Just 3 steps and he would be there. “Honestly I dont know. Come home”

He could keep his eyes away from her legs. He has a preference and he just likes it. “ take your time and thank you” he turned to look at Eren who had a glint in his eyes. Levi didnt know the man all the way but whatever that was Levi felt wary about it, so he asks the young man. “ and you how about washing your hands too”

“” Do you want me to take a picture and send it to you?“” The young man replied as he was on clicking something on his mobile. “” since it seems its something you like"“

Motherfucker he was going to choke the brat. Levi could feel his face heating of shame once for staring and two for getting caught. ” you are been ridiculius. Wash your hands idiot" and he just turned to continue playing and starting the kitchen clean up. He was proud of not jumping when he other just leaned into him, reached over to wash his hands and casually commented “” If it’s you. I think I wont mind"“ Levi could feel his mind blanking out for a moment washing items on automatics Eren moved away and took his seat and waited for the other one.

He snaps back as he could hear the clicking of her boots against the wood and could not help to glance at Eren just to see a knowing smirk on his face. Levi ignores the brat and pulls the chair out for her before taking his own.

Levi asks about the office and how are things going. Eren would participate too with some work questions of his onw and about their friends. He asked about Armin and his eyes would soften at it.

After the meal was done the younger man had beaten him to lift their plates and told them he would join them later in the living room.

Levi turns to Mikasa and just shrugs. You wanna play some games or catch a movie? He was on his third glass of wine.

Answers about the office were mediocre at best. Boring old routines, some workplace drama which Eren was always the first one to be filled in on so there was lot for him to catch up on. But nothing truly exciting there.

Armin was good and alive. He had gotten a promotion at his job and they had a movie night to celebrate.

Mikasa had started to take her plate to the sink when she felt Eren take it from her. Looking confused, she stuttered out a confused thank you not sure what to think of it. During the course of the meal, she had finally caved and had a glass of wine as they had all talked.

Hearing the question though from the older man, she gave a small shrug. “Let’s just chill out with a movie. There’s not a lot of games we can really play with three people except like…twister maybe?” Going to the couch, she put down the glass of wine that was about halfway done before leaning against the back of the couch. The boots finally overstayed their welcome for that moment and were coming off.

As soon as they were off, she took them to the spare room and returned shortly flopping onto the couch. “Can we try watching a horror movie?” She was infamously bad with horror movies. Mikasa hated the jump scares and once got the cops called to the apartment after watching one because she screamed so loud during one of the scenes someone thought she was getting murdered.

But the guys both seemed to have their ways of calming her down. Levi usually loaded her up with blankets and pillows to make a little fort and warned her if he knew a jump was coming and Eren usually just held her tightly. She was hoping that having a bit of wine would help her nerves though as she started getting the blanket cocoon ready even without an answer.

#cravatsandtea #ofmonstersandsaints #gradientsraven #eren muse is a brat #levi is mortified

" twister is Hanges demonic game. If I were to do that today I would break something" Levi said as he refills his glass before joining the other in the living room. He placed his glass down the coffee table and helps set Mikasa up in her nest fort. "You asked for horror movie." He tells her blandly as usual but raises a brow at how she was patting the blankets around her. " unbelivable" and he pats her head softly moving some of her hair away from her face. The. He went to move to his usual armchair along with his own blanket.

A few minutes into the movie hunting Eren came in with some popcorn to which Levi surprisingly didnt complain about. Then Eren proceeded to have Mikasa scoot to the side and picked up a very surprised and offended looking olderman from the chair to the sofa, placing him right next to Mikasas side and even merged both their blankets. The man was stunt at the boldness of the young man to which this one replied to him

"" old man you are ridiculous, you the damn sofa of your own house. You only sit in it when Hange is here. Mikasa wont bite you..."" he raises and hands Levi back his wine glass as he winks at Mikasa "" you have to ask her nicely for that"" and Eren turned away to look for his own blanket in his room.

Levi just leaned his face a little over to Mikada as he barely whispers "is this how he acts when he is in a good mood? No respect. I do what I want?"

He lifts his glass and take a deep drink " kill me" he whispers but leaned in closet and even moved his feet up to tuck them under him. He was obviously into his drinks by now.

"Did you decide what we're doing?"

He lets out a shaky breath and look at the navy blue door as he stood in the sidewalk. Just 3 steps and he would be there. “Honestly I dont know. Come home”

He chuckles while moving into the kitchen and pulling a can of soda from the fridge. Eren looked comfortable in the space because he actually was.

“’Its been some weeks… Has it been a month?”’ He tilts his head and turns to look at the other man as he was taking out the chicken and just squeezing some fresh orange juice on top of its crisp skin.

“ a bit over a month. You better pour that in a glass. “ The older man said to which Eren replied with a “” Yeah ..Yeah…”” as he moved behind Levi placed his hand over the mans back and reached over to grab a glass.

In the time Eren has been in the house Levi and Eren had just been physical, It went from punching each other or at least Eren had tried to do so fervently at the start, to Eren been in choke holds, to cautious touches that meant to comfort and support him.

It was an odd dynamic that they had fallen into; even Hange had commented about it but Levi had given him a look, one of those the Eren could not decipher yet and then he just shrugged and said he didn’t mind. Then he turned very serious and told Eren very clearly he didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable and that if he did he should tell him right away. Levi was a grumpy but serious man. He was also honest and reliable. Eren learned to take the mans words for true and to appreciate him. At Mikasa’s shoes comment Erens attention when back to the woman and he made his way around the counter to take the sight if her. He lets out a playful whistle and a charming laugh “”That they do. You look great”” It has been sometime since his laughter had been so lighthearted.

The little island was where Levi usually set the meals at but for tonight he had pulled open the small convertible table by the wall. It was one of those space saving furniture that was usually use as a two seater. He had expanded it enough for four people tonight. He had turned to look at Eren has he had laughed and could not stop himself from having that soft smile once more. Levi noticed Eren clean up nicely, he was clean shaved and he had cut his hair to a shoulder height. Levi thinks the other would look good with short hair but Eren wanted to kept some length to it even thou he kept it in topknots and buns.

Levi rested the caserole on the table and moved again to grab a bottle of wine and a large wine glass. He felt he was gonna need the wine tonight as he had to handle these two youngsters. “Mikasa, would you like to eat now?” “Also I can also uber you back to your place or you can stay in your -” “the spare room that you always stay at. “ He said and failed to not look at the womans legs. So he did and then looked back up to her face to hear her out.

Eren was across from them with the glass of soda by his lips but his eyes attentive as he reads the other two.

“Yeah, let’s eat,” she said a smile coming to her face again looking at the two. She noticed the dynamic between them and thought it was a good thing for Eren to have someone he could actually connect to. But it also made her feel kind of like a third wheel at the moment, but she shook the feeling. “I’ve been trying to not drink as much alcohol. I realized how bad it is for me, but if I do have some I will gladly stay in the spare room thank you.”

She saw Levi glance at her legs, and raised an eyebrow when he looked at her face again. As a smirk laid across her face, she stood up for a moment, “I’m going to go wash my hands real quick if you boys don’t mind.” Not even waiting for an answer, she went into the spare room to the bathroom she was used to using to wash up really quick.

Closing the door, she took a deep breath and leaned her body’s weight onto her elbows as she tried calming herself down. Why was she jealous of those two? Was there something going on? She was probably overthinking it, but just how much progress Eren had made in that short of time when they couldn’t get a normal conversation out of each other without screaming at least once over the past four years upset her a bit.

Turning on the faucet, she stood up straight trying to get her head out of her ass as she washed her hands. Be happy for Eren, he’s worked hard on this and deserves all the praise.

She was happy for Eren and she wasn’t going to let her negativity ruin that for all of them. Another deep breath and she finally emerged from the bathroom to enjoy the night with the guys.

He could keep his eyes away from her legs. He has a preference and he just likes it. " take your time and thank you" he turned to look at Eren who had a glint in his eyes. Levi didnt know the man all the way but whatever that was Levi felt wary about it, so he asks the young man. " and you how about washing your hands too"

I think I wont mind"" Levi could feel his mind blanking out for a moment washing items on automatics Eren moved away and took his seat and waited for the other one.

Levi asks about the office and how are things going. Eren would participate too with some work questions of his onw and about their friends. He asked about Armin and his eyes would soften at it.

"Did you decide what we're doing?"

He lets out a shaky breath and look at the navy blue door as he stood in the sidewalk. Just 3 steps and he would be there. “Honestly I dont know. Come home”

Eren was becoming more and more stressed as she spoke. “"Are-are you going home?”“ He meant their apartment and the previous conversation came to mind. He would have been offended by seen how she leaned in to kiss Levi’s cheek but he seems to be in shock. She was really leaving.

Eren stands and reaches to take one of her hands. ”“ is it real? We really over?”“ He does not want to have this conversation here but he needs to know and part of him is glad there are people here. Maybe he wont lose it and if he does the older man would stop him. Eren can understand why this place and these people are her safety net.

”“ I can go away. You can stay here with your friends”“ Eren adds in a moment of clarity. Because honestly he wants what’s best for her even if it’s not himself even thou he is constantly fighting himself from desires and morality.

On the other side as Levi listens to the younger woman he could feel himself just settle into himself. Into that quiet cold self. He does not know how or when Mikasa had come to this conclusion that they had been treating her like a toy, that HE was treating her like a thing. It just runs him the wrong way, bring back unwanted thoughts.

” I apologize for my I’ll manners. Keep safe.“ He tells Mikasa as he looks at her for a moment and turns to go to his kitchen. He stops for a moment and adds “Mr. Jaeger, I want to speak with you so do not leave this house ” it was a command. With that he was out of sight.

Hange gave them their space and made themselves comfortable by the entrance door with her car keys in hand. She would take Mikasa home and there would be no No for an answer.

“Eren, I just said that I need time to myself,” she said firmly as she went back to her bag and picked it up. She seemed shocked herself hearing him ask if they were really over, “A..are you fucking shitting me? Yes, we’re done. I’m going to ask Sasha if I can stay with her while I look for a new place.”

She only felt like she was treated like a toy when both the boys were together not separately. Any time all three were together it was constant tugging and yelling about her and it happened the second Eren walked in. By themselves, they could be normal and have good conversations, but together was a blood bath.

Hearing Hanji say they would give her a ride home, she only shook her head and denied one but got into a small argument about it. Finally, she agreed to one with a sigh before heading out the door with the doctor behind her. “I’ll call you both when I’m home.” she commented before closing the door.

It didn’t seem long until she was sitting on the back porch smoking a cigarette as she stewed in her thoughts. She didn’t need that much space, just a bed and she was good. The apartment already looked like a war zone with her going through her things and throwing things she didn’t need away and having other things in some bags she had.

She had indeed called both of the boys separately and left voice mails saying that she was home safe and apologizing for her own behavior at Levi’s home. Throwing the cigarette butt into the coffee can, she started packing again as she talked with Sasha on the phone about them moving in together for a little bit while Mikasa got her shit together both physically and mentally.

He watches her pick up her bag and leave. He felt disoriented. The older man approached him. They had talked and then Eren was trying to choke him.

Before Hange made it to the house Eren had attempted to knock Levi two more times. After the other got to the house Eren had tried to punch him four more times. There was talking. A lot of talking had been done. Eren felt angry and sick and tiredness. At the end of the day he was exhausted and his headache was splitting his head.

In between the yelling, attempts of fights and the crying Eren had accepted the oldest man proposition of staying over. Along with some ground rules the older people came up for him; things like ‘Dont harass Mikasa’ ‘Dont break items in the house, Dont leave the house. Talk out loud what he was feeling, Dont try to fight anyone in the bathroom, kitchen or bedrooms. Dont call Mikasa without supervision.

It was ridiculous. It was not even guaranteed that Mikasa would give him a chance or that she would want to be with him anymore. But, he had really come to accept that there was a problem with himself and he needed to change it.

Levi had moved him to the other guest room claiming that the previous room was Mikasa’s. It irked him. The first three days where spend fighting, either verbally or physically or so he tried. The other man was too good at evading him and he did over and over until Eren exhausted himself, most of the time it ended in his screaming his lungs out. The police stopped by once, Eren found it odd how pleasant there were with the older man, even saying ‘sorry’. What the fuck was that about?! After that he noticed that every time Eren threw a fit it had been in the gym room downstairs.

Then came the talking. He had talking sessions with the weirdo Hange that he could not figure out if they were a dude or a chick and they would never rile up at any of Erens comments. Levi over heard him and slapped him so hard Eren lost all interest in questioning or been rude to them. That was wrong of him and he regretted it. That was one thing they helped him realize. He would say and do things and it didn’t even felt like it was him who had just done that. What that how he was with Mikasa?

Hange had lots of questions for Eren. it was frustrating but he was working through them. When it got to overwhelming Levi was there, at first he would just try to jump him, then it turned to sparing and then it turned to coaching. At some point a treadmill had made its way downstairs and Levi would be there telling him to run straight, to lift his legs higher, to hop or to run it faster. The man was diligent and it helped. He tired him until his mind was blank and it was only his own body screaming and burning. Then there would be questions and he would just blurt out what came to that white space. Some of it was very ugly or scary or coated in fear but most of it was sad yet there was no judgement from any of them. Days rolled by and he felt a little better, somewhat lighter.

Then came the outside exercises. He knew Hange and Levi had planned it and he felt odd, as if he were a lab rat. They would go to meet in different places, Mikasa would join them and Eren would be just across from them. The first time was at a part and Eren stood with Hange on the sidewalks and on the benches across Mikasa was sitting down. Then Levi would join her and they would talk and then he would put a hand on her shoulder or her knee. Eren could feel his heartbeat elevating and he was gripping the fence after he saw Levi leaning in an wrapping his hands over her shoulders and waist. That first time he had tried to hit Levi when the other came towards him. They had to call it early. In the way to the house there was a vivid discussion, a fight and then a talk and in the talk he was sunned to silence when Hange lifted her phone and showed him his own face and words. Like a sobering bucket of water. He had somethings to think over.

Then came more and more exercises. To which he had to see and react and see how he was going to react. From seen her with friends, to watching her intact in the gym with others and then the interaction between Levi and Mikasa. That was was the hardest and it took the longest to answer when Hange made questions. His jealousy was rooted to his insecurities and fears. When he looked at those two interacting it felt a little different than usual. While having a solo convo with Hange he realizes he needed to add envy into his list of ugly feelings.

Days had turned into weeks and he had seen interact with different individuals, his hardest scenarios were when she was with strangers, but he was getting to the point of just not getting lividly angry. In one of the occasions he just pushed himself from the car and turned to Hange and told them he didnt really wanted to watch anymore and he went ahead and jogged back home.

He loves her and he cares but he didnt want to be a slave of his faults.

When Hange and Levi got to house to find a tranquil Eren making something to eat in the kitchen Hange decided to clear him from the house arrest and Eren almost dropped his cup when he saw the other man give out a soft smile as the medic chatted him up.

He was studying some booklets Hange shoved his way when Levi knocked on the door letting him know Mikasa would be visiting later in the day. To which Eren smiled and decided to shower and prep for her. He wonders how is she.

He can feel some excitement building up.

Once Mikasa had left he was irritated. This was a shit show and he did not go looking for it but he was cleaning it damn it. When Eren came at him he met him head on and maybe was slightly meaner with his body. Those first days where rough, he felt like he was back in that hellhole where he had been brought up, but he caught himself and remember he had survived and and had made something out of himself. He the Master of his ownself and he was going to keep it like that. Whenever he felt Eren under his skin he steeled himself and took control. He pulled the other out of his head and made him present.

Levi took it upon himself to update Mikasa about what was going on, tell her about the therapy and also about the exposure therapy they had planned for Eren. He had asked her for her help in earnest. While those sessions were in progress he would tell her what he would do, where he would touch. Most of the times he would not really touch her but let his hand hover in certain positions. He made sure to reassure her that he does not want to pressure her or made her feel uncomfortable. He made sure not to look into her eyes for too long. After all he was hoping Mikasa would be happy with Eren.

After the last session where Eren had been totally chill and Hange lifted the house ban Levi had contacted Mikasa and asked if she wanted to hang out at his place. It would be the three of them since Hange had to do real work. When he told Eren about Mikasa’s visiting he sighs at the joyful look on the younger man. He was working on himself and Levi was proud of that.

He closes the door and goes back to the kitchen to check the over where he needed to keep an eye on the bread since that needed to come out before the chicken. He ponders if he would miss Eren’s broody company in the house. He wonders of Mikasa would even think of lightening the mood in the house by staying over. But he remembers her words from before; how they; how HE overwhelmed her. He tucks the idea away as he lifts one of the wine glasses and chastises himself for been a deviant. Improper thoughts of having thoughts and desires of things that were out of the norm. Part of him wanted to revel in the ideas of Mikasa and Eren in his bed but those were thoughts for the night while he was alone in his bed.

It was odd hearing the first call from Levi updating on what was going on. But she listened to the voice and relaxed a bit. As soon as she had realized the hot head wasn’t coming back to the apartment, she had called off the plans with Sasha.

Then came the exposure therapy. She hesitated a bit when asked for her help, but agreed after a minute of thinking. That’s where all the problems laid was with the jealousy. Every time Levi instructed her on what was going to happen, she only listened and went along with everything.

There were a few times even she had to walk off to try not to yell at Eren, but always came back a few moments later and apologized to Levi. She had tried to talk to him about the incident before all the therapy, but it always fell sour to what they were doing so she had stopped trying to bring it up.

Getting the call to come over since Eren had ‘graduated’ for lack of a better term, she agreed happily. She was happy for Eren for finally getting his anger under control, but she was in a good spot herself just being by herself. As in she never left the house other than for work and for the therapy. But she was content with it.

It didn’t seem long until she was knocking on the door and without thought walking in. “It’s just me!” she called out to Levi still feeing comfortable just walking in when she was invited over. She wasn’t sure if this was going to be a formal occasion or them just all hanging out so she kept it safe with her infamous pair of black jeans with the pant legs tucked inside some knee high boots.
