Chapter 1.
He was crying softly on the rocks near the water. Tears were streaking down without his consent and he HATED it!
He was supposed to be strong! He wasn't supposed to cry, but he was six years old and there was that question which always crossed his mind.
Why does everyone leave him alone?!
First, it was his mother, who was gone forever.
The second was his father, who hated him so much.
And the third was the only friend that he had.
"MOMMY! KUCHEL-SAN! WHERE ARE YOU?"
He screamed at the sea, afraid they would pass and without him seeing them. The boy heard singing and broke into a smile. "Kuchel-san is here!" was all he thought.
The boy stood and run to the place he always see Kuchel-san in, but what stood there wasn't Kuchel-san, what stood there was another siren who was ready to kill.
Just as the boy was about to run, the siren turned to him with a smirk and attacked.
"NO!" Eren yelled as he woke up. He panted hard, looking around him but not seeing anything dangerous in his room. Eren sighed in relief and sat up. He put his head in his hands. "Nightmares," he grumbled.
Eren opened the curtain when he noticed the sun shining outside. He touched the key around his neck, brushed his fingers against the scale that hung next to it. The sunlight danced over its surface, causing it to change shade from a raven black to dark blue.
Eren looked at the key and scale with a soft smile. "Good morning mom, Kuchel-san," he whispered softly. Then his face moulded to its usual blank look as moved to get ready. Today he had work to do.
Eren hummed as he headed to the shower. Hope no siren will try to eat me… again.

"Come again, Sir!" Eren Yeager said with a fake smile. The customer smiled back at him.
Eren Yeager was an 18-year-old who stood at 6'3 tall with dark brown hair that grazed his shoulders. He had dark bags under his intimidating teal-blue eyes, revealing his tiredness. His body was well proportioned and physically fit, sporting a well-defined, lean muscled appearance. He worked at a bookstore, though Eren wouldn't say he hated the job. After all, the books were his only friends in this cruel world, other than the sirens that tried to eat him every now and then. Not the greatest competition.
Eren was certain all those fish called him the 'Hard To Get Bastard.' Eren smirked at the nickname and returned to reading a book about sirens. What people thought a myth were actually real! The proof Eren had? Those bastards had been trying to kill him since he was SIX!
Thankfully, Eren was the only human who didn't get affected by the sirens' voices when they sung. Eren had always wondered why he didn't fall for their magic and get eaten like everyone else, but had set it aside as something to be grateful for since he'd never become fish food.
Eren heard the bell jingle, informing him that another customer had arrived. He sighed and put on his phony smile once again.
"Hello, ma'am. How may I help you?" Eren saw the woman blush at his smile and had to stop himself from snorting. His eye did twitch a little, but only subtly, which was good since he didn't need another scowl from that horse face. Just because that horse face's father owned the bookstore - that was the only place who would hire him - and was the mayor, didn't mean that Eren had to be his bitch!
Just because he was the outcast of this fucked up village, it didn't mean he had to keep his head down and let himself be played with!
So why was his life so messed up anyway?

"NO!" Levi shouted as he stood in front his father. He moved to swim away only for his father to stop him cold with a glare.
"You will marry Erwin and that is final!" Kenny roared at his son's stubbornness. It wasn't like he was throwing Levi to the sharks (literally and figuratively that is), but Levi had been of age for three years now and hadn't found a mate! A submissive without a mate was a dead one!
"You and mother weren't in an arranged marriage! So why do I have to be in one?!" Levi scowled at his father even more, his glossy black tail twitching every now and then to show how pissed he was.
"Levi is right, dear," Kuchel said soothingly to her husband. "Even Mikasa chose her own mate! Let Levi chose his." She touched Kenny's shoulder gently but her eyes never left her son.
Kenny held firm a moment more, then relented and gave a small nod of his head. "Fine," he weathered, making Levi smirk and nod a thanks to his mother. "But you only have one year! Understood?" Kenny rumbled as he looked at his son with a hard stare.
Levi nodded with a huff. Why would his father do that? It didn't matter if he was a submissive! He would kill anyone that came near him with ill intentions.
"And one more thing," Kenny said, causing Levi to groan. "You will go and lure a human," the siren King mentioned as he swam to sit on his throne.
"WHAT?! NO!" Levi growled at his father. He may be a siren but just like his mother, he hated hurting humans. Call it a submissive thing! Levi didn't care. He would not - repeat – WOULD NOT hurt a human!
Kenny glared at Levi, unimpressed. "Do it and I will allow you to chose your mate, or don't and marry Erwin instead. Its your choice."
Levi's expression thundered but all that came out was a growl. He shot his father a death glare and swam out of the throne room. "I hate you!" he cried. Just because his father was the King of sirens didn't mean Levi had to obey him! But Levi's life of being single had been threatened, so he didn't have much of a choice. "Fuck you Kenny!" he cursed.

Eren puffed out a cloud of breath as he tightened the scarf around his neck. He could say today was the most fucked up cold day, but he would be lying. Wait until it snowed and you would know the real meaning of blue balls!
Eren growled as he spied a siren singing off the shore. It was looking at him pointedly, trying to lure him closer to the water. She had short brown hair and freckles all over her face, and the worst part was she wasn't wearing a bra like most female sirens do!
Eren just waved her off, making her huff and shrug him off in return. After that, she dived and disappeared. Good riddance!. was the only think Eren thought.
Just as he was about to continue he saw Jean coming for him. On second thought, I'd prefer to take my chances with her.He sighed as Jean stopped in front of him. "What do you want, Jean?" Eren asked wearily as he stepped around in company and headed for his house.
"OI! WAIT UP, YEAGER!" Jean called out, running to catch up. Once he did, he gripped Eren's hand firmly to stop him.
"Let go of my hand," Eren glared warningly, making Jean back up a little. Eren sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What do you want?" he asked again, turning to look at the horse-faced bastard.
Jean smirked but his shot at seeming intimidating was ruined by having to look up at Eren because he was 5 inches taller. "I want to take you on a date, so you better get ready," Jean said smugly.
Eren's hate simmered but on the surface, he just snorted. "Go to hell, Jean. Just because your boyfriend died few days ago doesn't mean I'll do whatever you want." With that, Eren turned around and started walking away, leaving behind an enraged Jean.
"WE'LL SEE! DO YOU REALLY THINK SOMEONE WILL LOVE A MONSTER LIKE YOU? NO ONE WILL! AND DON'T BOTHER COMING TO WORK TOMORROW! YOU'RE FIRED!" Jean screamed at the top of his lungs.
Eren should have felt worse about losing his job, but honestly, he just hummed merrily at the thought of not having to see that horse bastard's face every day. Maybe it was time to leave….
Eren gazed ahead at the house that was perched near the water. His mother had loved that house dearly and wanted nothing more than for their family to stay in it.
…or maybe not.

When Eren reached his house, he heard the sound of a siren's singing near the rocks up ahead. He scowled. "Can't those fish give me a day off?" he wondered. Maybe he should just hop in the water and end this shit once and for all.
Eren listened intently to the voice (the only thing he might consider worthwhile about his mysterious immunity. It let him hear such sweet sounds almost every day without the chance of death it brought for most people) and furrowed his brow in confusion. "Kuchel-san…?" he whispered softly. He hadn't seen Kuchel-san since he was six, 12 years ago.
Eren walked along until he reached the rocks he met Kuchel-san at for the first time. Eren saw a siren who looked about fifteen. He sighed in disappointment but when he took a closer look at the boy, he froze.
The same raven hair, the same milky white skin, and the same glossy black tail that changed colour in the sunlight. He recognised those grey-blue eyes. The boy could have been Kuchel's clone if he wasn't, you know, young and MALE.
The siren saw him and grinned. He started to sing a song about how he could 'take him to the kingdom under the sea and show him what he wanted to see'.
Eren rolled his eyes and snorted softly. Should he dismiss this siren as he normally did…? Nah! That siren was too cute for that, Eren admitted.
So instead, Eren gave his most charming smile, all the while smirking on the inside. The siren beamed triumphantly but Eren spotted the slight flush to his features. He waved to the siren as he sneakily walked down the beach to his house.
The siren's face faltered as he watched Eren head away from him and towards a human residence not too far from the shore. It turned to shock, then outrage as the human slipped through the door with a final salute, all the while laughing at the siren's red face.
EXL.
"I WILL KILL HIM!" Levi screamed as he slammed his door shut, then blushed harder as he remembered the charming smile the human had given. No one had smiled at him like that before. He fell on his bed and clutched his pillow. .He was hot though. Levi thought as he became scarlet red.
He heard someone knock on the door and sat up. "Come in!" he called out. The door opened, revealing his dominate older sister Mikasa.
"Are you, OK?" Mikasa asked as she closed. She swam over to sit on the edge of his bed. He collapsed back into his back and buried his face in his pillow.
"I'm fine," he spoke into the pillow, though it came out more like 'Mm fmn'. He growled as he remembered that hot – er, bastard's face.
Mikasa raised her brow questioningly. "You don't look fine to me," she stated. She decided to use the big sister card and laid down beside him to look at the ceiling.
Levi sighed and turned his head to Mikasa, who was already waiting for whatever he was going to say. "Father forced me to lure a human," he murmured. He didn't miss Mikasa's scowl at their father's actions. "But the human I tried to lure only smiled and waved! He went straight to his home!" Levi seethed and squeezed his pillow harder.
Mikasa's eye widened in surprise. "So you met 'Humanity's Strongest'!" she exclaimed. She shook her head in distaste as she remembered how he had dismissed her just that day.
Levi stared at her in puzzlement, having no clue what she was going on about. Remember, he didn't like lure humans and had never really tried. Mikasa saw the look and smiled. "Well, little brother. Let me tell you a bit about him."
She began to tell Levi everything the sirens knew about that particular human, her brother listening in surprisingly rapt attention.

It had been a month since Eren had first seen the siren that looked like Kuchel, and not for a single day did that fish leave him alone. Hell, he even started following Eren around and singing in the night, making Eren unable to sleep.
Eren huffed as he heard the siren sing to him one particularly late night. FOR GOD'S SAKE! It was 1am and he couldn't sleep because of that infernal (yet however sweet) racket! Eren's patient burst.
He threw the covers off and marched down the stairs and out the front door, striding towards the rocks, which the siren had practically made his home during the past month. The siren stopped singing when he saw him and Eren revelled in the silence that followed. Until that bastard ruined it.
"HEY YOU!" the siren yelled at him. "COME HERE AND LET ME FINISH YOU OFF!" Eren picked up on the whining tone and smirked at this siren's immatureness.
"Do I look that dumb to you?" Eren poised sarcastically, making himself comfortable on a rock some distance away from the siren and looked at the siren up and down.
Levi huffed in irritation, pouting his lips at this insolent human. However, he didn't know why but he felt safe in his company, like he could show his true self and not worry about being judged. "I was hoping you were," he mumble, averting his eyes.
Eren rolled his eyes smiled humorously as he saw the siren's pouty face. .Cute. Eren thought. "Well, it appears that I'm not, so stop with the failing attempts. All you're doing is keeping me up."
"You are the one they call 'Humanity's Strongest', huh?" asked Levi as he checked out Eren. "By the way, my name is Levi," he imparted as he continued to inspect the human. DAMN, WHY IS HE SO HOT!? he goggled furtively, biting his bottom lip to not let out a sigh/moan of admiration. He blushed at his thoughts.
Eren snickered. "And here I was thinking that my name was 'The Hard To Get Bastard'. The name's Eren." Eren's shoulders shook with mirth, still laughing. Levi giggled softly at Eren's version of the nickname. His usually grumpy face let out a little of his true nature and Eren beamed at his delighted, carefree sounds.
"Well, my sister calls you that! Her name is Mikasa and she said you were impolite you always wave her off, just like all the others!" Levi shared with the human, confused as to where his usual tight lidded-ness had taken a trip. Eren laughed softly, remembering the red-tailed chick who had called herself that who had tried to drown him last year, though he did more than just shout obscenities. 'The bird' may or may not have come into it.
"Well, as much as I would love to stay here and chat, I'm tired and want to sleep," Eren said as he stood up and brushed the sand from his clothes "Goodnight, Levi," he called over his shoulder with a wave as he walked back to his house.
"Goodnight, Eren!" Levi called with a grin before diving into the water.
Eren just smiled and shook his head in bemusement; maybe that siren wouldn't be as bad as the others after all. Maybe he was different…
So what do you think?
YAY! A mermaid AU… Or is it a Sirens AU?
Well, it doesn't matter! I have mermaids and sirens!
And most of all a GRUMPY AND SERIOUS EREN!
(Which by the way is my guilty pleasure)
