When Eren woke up this particular morning he knew something was going to change. He rolled out of bed and walked toward his bathroom. As he washed up to face the day, he wondered about the feeling that he was getting. It made him want to…well he really don't know what it was that he wanted to do but he knew it was destructive in nature.
Eren finished washing up and moved back into his room to get changed. As he was pulling his bed clothes off, he heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to his room. He ignored them, knowing to whom they belonged to, and continued to get dressed. As he was pulling his shirt over his head the footsteps stopped in front of his cell door. Eren didn't even turn to see who it was before saying "Good morning, Corporal."
He heard a quiet snort behind him, "I see you're up you shitty brat. Well that's great because we have visitors." Eren finally turned to look at the Corporal, who looked amazingly clean as always. Steel grey eyes watched Eren put on his 3D maneuver gear's straps. Eren didn't seem to notice the way the Corporal's eyes slid up and down Eren's muscular form.
Ever since Eren had joined the Survey Corps, he had filled out very nicely. Eren was no longer the skinny, idiot kid but a strong and muscular young man. As Eren slid on the rest of his straps the Corporal unlocked his cell and pulled the heavy metal door open.
He motioned to Eren to follow him. As the Corporal led Eren down the hallway, Eren noticed that his guards were no longer there. When he turned to ask the Corporal, he noticed that the Corporal's expression was very unhappy and tense, but to everyone else his expression was the same as always but not to someone who had been watching the Corporal for as long as Eren had.
Eren was confused and asked "Sir, what's wrong you look extremely upset about something. Did someone make a mess somewhere and forget to clean it up?"
The Corporal's steel colored eyes landed on him for a moment then he turned away. "You'll find out soon enough."
Eren felt his muscles tense as they walked outside into the training area to a huge crowd of people. He noticed that most of them were the Survey Corps but some of them were….the Military police but not only them but what looked like civilians and very wealthy ones at that. The civilians were watching him with a mixture of fear and excitement. Not understanding what was going on, Eren turned to the Corporal to ask when one of the military police stepped forward.
"Eren Jaeger, you are to perform an experiment for us." Eren glanced to his right at the Corporal but the man wouldn't meant his eyes, so he sighed and stepped forward. "Very well; what is it that you want me to do?"
The man gave a nasty smirk and said "You are to transform into your monster form and keep control of as long as you can." Eren was surprised and glanced around to see that most of the military police and civilians were watching him with fear but some were eyeing his body, not that Eren noticed as his attention was fixed on transforming but a certain 160 cm tall man noticed and it pissed him off more than this entire situation. All the man wanted to do was grab onto Eren and declare he was his and only his but he couldn't do that…at least not yet.
Eren sighed again and nodded his head in acceptance, but as he was about to begin, the military man moved forward and slapped him demanding that "the monster boy" should give him respect. This caused the Survey Corps to stir with a rumble of outrage but they were quieted by a look from their commander. Said commander placed a restraining hand on the Corporal's shoulder to stop him from doing something rash that would have made the situation worse. Reluctantly, the Corporal did relax, but only a little bit. He clenched his hands so hard his knuckles were turning white.
Eren spit out blood very close to the military man's shine boots, which earned him another slap to the face and kick to the ribs. Eren coughed up blood and fell to his knees but after a few minutes he stood and saluted the man and bit down onto his hand.
Clouds of steam suddenly billowed out of nowhere and surrounded Eren and in a flash of yellowish-white light, Eren Jaeger was no longer standing there but a 15 meter tall titan was. The titan threw back its head and roared. Everyone but the Survey Corps jumped back in fear. The civilians that had come with the military police gave shrieks of fear and awe at the massive creature before them. Never before had they seen a titan so close.
The military man that had hit Eren was smirking proudly as if he owned a prized dog and was showing it off. Eren turned his head look down at the very tiny figures of his comrades. The titan began to drop so that it could get a closer look at the people gathered there but the military men were afraid that it was going to attack ran forward and stabbed Eren's knee to keep it from crouching. Eren gave a bellow of pain and growled at the men.
The titan began to bring its hand back as if it was going to take a swipe at the men on the ground but stopped at the last minute because of a voice shouting out "Be still Jaeger!" Eren's titan form froze at the command, as did everyone else. Eren's massive bright green eye glanced down at the person who had yelled out. Stepping forward and pushing off the restraining hand was Lance Corporal Rivaille.
The Corporal shot a glare at the men that had harmed Eren before he turned his attack to the frozen titan in front of him. Rivaille started to move his hands toward his blades causing the titan to tense even farther and begin to growl. But it turned out that the Corporal wasn't going for his blades but for the straps that attached the gear to his body.
In 10 seconds the 3D maneuver gear, his only means of protecting himself, was laying on the ground. He then began walking toward Eren's frozen form. The military men and the civilians were in a stunned stupor, watching as humanity's strongest soldier walked toward humanity's hope.
When he reached where he wanted to be he turned to the crowd. "I think this has gone on far enough." He then turned toward the civilians who still stood in a stunned silence "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming all this way for this, but it's time that you leave-"
Rivaille as interrupted by one of the civilians with a particularly large stomach stepping forward "Who do you think you are to order us, the elite, to do anything-"
The Corporal interrupted "I can do as I wish seeing as there is a titan standing right behind me that could kill you in seconds!" He glared at the man, who was speechless in shock of being spoken to in such a manner. Rivaille decided to ignore the stupid man and turned to Eren, who was still not moving.
"What is wrong with you, you shitty brat?" Eren turned his head down and let out another growl but this one was much softer then what had been heard before. Rivaille raised his hand up to touch the titan, who, in turn, was lowering himself to the ground. Just as the two were about to touch, the man from earlier grabbed ahold of the Corporal's shoulder and jerked him around and began to yell in his face.
The Survey Corps members all reached for their blades at the same time with murderous auras surrounding all of them. The military police tensed and move forward drawing their blades as well to defend the civilians.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the 15 meter titan that was staring at the man that was yelling at his Corporal. His Corporal! The human part of his being was furious with what he was seeing but the titan part was completely different. The titan part thought that it should scoop its mate up into its hands and….wait…WHAT?! MATE?!
Eren's mind was reeling from what he had just thought and was having internal battle with himself and missed what was going on. The situation on the outside was becoming worse and worse. The military police and Survey Corps were facing off against each other, although no had moved to attack yet. They were waiting for the other to move first.
Eren was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a loud smacking sound. He looked down and saw that the man had become so enraged that he decided it was a good idea to hit the Lance Corporal of the Survey Corps and Humanity's strongest soldier in the face. Time seemed to stop and no one moved and then an enraged bellow caused everyone, even the Survey Corps, to jump and spin around to see a literally steaming 15 meter titan.
Eren was beyond enraged. For the first time, ever, he and his titan side were in complete agreement: Protect mate and punish those who hurt him! The titan suddenly moved its hands down and pushed the man away, sending him head over heels to land in a heap on the ground.
Rivaille jerked his head up in shock to stare at the pissed off looking titan. He was shocked but happy at the same time that Eren had decided to protect him. The Corporal felt his heart flutter with an emotion he thought he would never experience in this godforsaken world: love.
His steel grey eyes locked with the massive green that was in front of him. He moved his hand to touch the titan's face again and this time he made contact. The skin was warm and the massive creature's eyes closed in pleasure, but like all great things it had to come to an end when the whale of a man was helped to his feet and whispered something to one of the military police.
The military police nodded his head and yelled up to the titan "Eren Jaeger you are ordered to transform back into your human form!" The titan eyes glared at the man and it moved it's hand to grab the man but an unlikely person stopped him. The Corporal grabbed onto the larger hand and, as those massive eyes looked down at him, nodded his head in agreement with the order.
Rivaille didn't like the fact that he was listening to the military dogs but if it kept Eren from being harmed that's all he cared about. The Corporal knew that if Eren didn't listen to the military dog's order, they would try to order Eren's death and there was no way in hell he was going to let the one person he had ever really loved die for a stupid reason.
Eren was conflicted. He had to protect his mate and this was the only way to do it correctly but on the other hand he had to obey his commanding officer. So the titan nodded its massive head and closed its eyes. Steam billowed from the large form and in a burst heat and steam, Eren pulled himself from the titan but as he did so he heard the unmistakable sound of cuffs being put on someone.
Quickly he knew he had to move fast. Eren tried to shake off his fatigue to get to Rivaille's side. Meanwhile the pompous man was smirking in Rivaille's face "Now what do you think about yourself now. Huh?" Rivaille didn't even bother to reply to the man, he was more concerned about Eren, who was going to come out of his titan form to be surround by guards.
Rivaille tried to get to Eren but was stopped by that fat man who couldn't take being ignored for the life of him. The man decided to be even stupider than he looked by trying to hit Rivaille again for not paying attention to him.
There was a blur and suddenly the man was screaming in pain. Rivaille's eyes were wide in shock to see the broad back of one, Eren Jaeger.
