I am still alive!

I am so so so so SO sorry about the hiatus, but I really don't have an excuse other than the fact that I had no laptop for the past year and I had exams.

Well, without further ado, have the next chapter!

"Uncle Levi!" Eren said as he began to jump on the aforementioned Corporal's abdomen,

"Up up up! Wake up!"

"Oof!" Levi coughed out as he woke up with the unprepared for assault on his abdomen,

"Eren, you shitty brat-" he started but remembered that he swore to Erwin that he would keep his language clean in front of the kid. Before any more damage could be dealt to his midriff he lifted Eren up with one hand and got out of bed with a yawn. Yes, Levi was definitely not a morning person.

Eren squirmed around, wanting to be let down so the Corporal obliged by setting the little boy down carefully. As he straightened up he realized what day it was with a groan.

Damn everything.

Today was the day Erwin had decided was particularly good for telling the rest of Eren's friends of his plight. And to Levi's irritation he had to be present as well, along with that damn bloodthirsty Ackerman brat. Oh the joy for Levi.

I can just imagine those damn brats shitting themselves over what happened to the little brat. Joy.

Mikasa was waiting for him at the entrance as he arrived leading a particularly rambunctious Eren along. Said rambunctious brat shook his hand out of the Corporal's as soon as he saw his sister.

The gratitude children these days showed to their elders...Levi's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, it wasn't like he was jealous or anything. Perish that thought.

"M'kasa!" Eren said happily as he was swooped into his sister's arms.

"Hey Eren," She greeted him with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Uh huh!" The child nodded enthusiastically, "And I also went jump jump jump on Uncle Levi, cause he was being lazy."

"I know," Mikasa said in agreement, "The Corporal is such a lazy man."

At this, Levi's eyebrow twitched again, one would think that his eyebrow was having a spasm if this day went on like this.

"That's enough chitchat, we're going in now." He said gruffly.

The members of the 104th trainee squad were bored, they were asked to come to the meeting room of the Survey Corps by Hanji. The over-enthusiastic scientist had for once managed to keep her lips sealed and insisted that everything was a surprise. And now the said surprise had them waiting in the meeting pace for a good half an hour.

Thankfully the trainee squad consisted of interesting people and they managed to stave off their boredom by placing bets.

"Okay, I bet that this is going to be some new information about the titans!" Ymir said loudly, "Anyone?"

"Me!" Connie's hand sprung up, "I bet ten gold pieces!"

"Pfft, yeah right," Jean said with a smirk, "I bet that dumb-ass Eren fucked with his titan form. Again."

This time a few more hands shot up, accompanied by cries of "Ten gold pieces" or "Fifteen gold pieces"

They were interrupted by the sound of the door suddenly flying open.

Levi stepped in taking in the sloppy positions of the soldiers. The occupants just stared back.

"Uhhh...Good Morning?" Krista piped up, prompting the other cadets to sit up straight and greet their Corporal.

"Morning." Levi replied, "I assume none of you know why you were called here, because shitty glassed decided to be annoying."

The cadets just nodded in agreement.

"So uh, what happened?" Sasha asked, munching on a fried potato.

"You'll find out. Ackerman, come in."

And Mikasa came in, carrying Eren, who immediately buried his head into her shoulder as soon as he saw all the people in the room.

The cadets just stared at Mikasa, then at Eren, at the Corporal, at themselves and then went back to staring at Eren.

Then the questions began.

"Oh my who's that, Corporal?"

"Is he yours, Corporal?"

"Is that your kid, Corporal?"

"Who's the kid, Corporal?"

"When did you have a child, Corporal?"

"Why didn't you tell us about your son, Corporal?"

"When did you get married, Corporal?"

"How come we weren't invited for the wedding, Corporal?"

"Who's the Mrs. Levi, Corporal?"

"How many Mrs. Levis are there, Corporal?"

"Whoa, did you just have a kid with Mikasa, Corporal?"

"Alright!" Levi bellowed, "Just shut up for a minute and listen to me, you shitty brats!"

Instantly, everyone shut up and looked at Levi.

"This," He began and gently pried Eren away from Mikasa, only to have the child bury his face in his shoulder, "Is Eren."

There was a long moment of silence.

"You're kidding, right?" Reiner asked.

"Yeah," Connie followed, "I mean that's a kid...and Eren's like fifteen and...and." He stopped, he had no idea what to say next.

"It is Eren," Mikasa started, "Hanji injected him with an experimental drug and it successfully reverted him to his three year-old self."

Most of the cadets looked unconvinced and opted to stare at Eren, feeling the stares, the child turned around and looked at his friends.

The cadet's took in the sight of his expressive green eyes and realized, that only one person they knew had such eyes. And the shock hit them like a ton of bricks.

Well except for Annie, Ymir and Reiner, the three seemed to take it in stride and went over to Eren to re-introduce themselves.

Bert, Connie and Krista stared in shock for a few minutes before coming to their senses and bombarding Levi with questions as to how it happened.

And as for Jean and Sasha? Well Jean was struck speechless and Sasha dropped her potato.

Insert the Spongebob narrator's voice Four hours later

"Huh? A meeting?" Levi's asked in annoyance.

"Yes Sir, Cadet Ackerman as well as yourself have to be present. It's mandatory."

Levi growled, after last times "incident" he had always felt uncomfortable leaving Eren with other people. He could ask one of the cadets... No they had training at this time. He frowned, he would just have to ask Mikasa about this one.

Levi found Mikasa cradling a sleeping Eren.

"Do you need anything?" She asked impassively.

"We have a goddamned meeting to attend again. Do you know anyone who's free to look after Eren while we're gone?"

"Hanji?"

"She has to come to the meeting too, as well as Erd, Gin, Petra and Auruo. Erwin is out of the question as well."

Mikasa furrowed her brows, "The others are training, wait, we can leave him with Jean."

"Isn't he at training as well?"

"He hurt his ribs a couple of days ago and the doctor put him on mandatory sick leave."

Levi nodded, "Jean it is, then."

"No way, I've never looked after a kid in my life before!" Jean said, crossing his arms.

"It's just for a few hours brat, you'll survive." Levi deadpanned.

Jean opened his mouth to complain again but Mikasa glared at him as though daring him to refuse again.

*In the theatre of Jean's mind*

Mikasa glared at him. Sexily.

"Are you saying that you can't do it?" Her velvety voice took on a mocking tone, "Come on big guy, can't you do it?"

Jean started to refuse when Mikasa suddenly came close to him, her lips almost touching his.

"Come on," She whispered huskily into his ear, "If you do it, we can have some fun later."

*Back to reality*

"Oi brat," Levi snapped his fingers, "Stop daydreaming alrea-"

"I'll do it!" Jean announced enthusiastically.

Jean had been left with Eren for about half an hour and the little boy had just continued with his peaceful slumber.

"Ya know, when you're like this, you're kinda cute." He muttered and put a hand out to softly ruffle Eren's brown locks.

Unfortunately that action caused the child to stir awake.

Eren blinked sleepily and sat up, rubbing the corners of his eyes with his tiny fists.

"M'kasa?" He called out.

"Uh..." Jean began, he really didn't know how to talk to children, "She went out."

"Oh," Eren replied in a tiny voice, "Then Uncle Levi?"

"He uh...went out too."

Realization dawned when Eren realized that neither Mikasa nor Levi were here. Panic rose in his chest, he really wanted them.

Jean heard a soft sniffle and looked down to see Eren with tears threatening to spill at any moment.

"Hey," Jean tried to be friendly, "Uh, don't cry, they'll be back in a few hours."

Which of course did nothing to soothe the child as he realized that he would not see his sister nor his current guardian for another few hours.

"M-M-M'kasa!" He cried loudly, "I want M'kasa!"

His cries were loud and Jean began to panic that the kid would kill himself crying or something. In vain he tried to comfort Eren and scooped him up into his arms.

"There there," He began awkwardly and started to rock back and fourth, "It's okay, you'll see Mikasa again."

"U-Uncle Levi!"

"And him too."

Desperately Jean began to look back at all the times he remembered crying, what had his father done then? An idea occurred to him.

He raised Eren high up into the air.

"Look Eren, you're flying!"

Eren stopped his crying and looked down at Jean, only to find the older boy grinning at him. Soon he started to laugh and his homesickness for Mikasa and Levi was forgotten.

After Mikasa and Levi returned, they had a whole new problem to face.

Not only had Eren been happy with Jean. It seemed like the child had grown attached to the cadet.

It's not like they were jealous or anything. Perish that thought.

*Lalalalala Bonus*

Eren snuggled up to Levi as they both lay in bed and Levi absently began to run his fingers through the little boy's hair. It had become a habit for him.

Soon enough he heard soft even breaths telling him that Eren was asleep.

A week ago, when all of this had started, Levi had found it annoying. From watching over Eren to feeding him. But now he couldn't imagine life without the child. Eren had become dear to him. Levi wondered if this was like what it was to be a father.

Still ruffling Eren's hair, he bent down to softly kiss the top of Eren's head.

"Sleep well mon trésor."
