HAPPY NEW YEAR! Whew, long time no see folks! I'm back from the beyond. Lots of stuff has gone on! How about we wrap this up already?

I do not own Attack on Titan or any characters belonging to it.

The time spent as a child seemed like a far off dream to Eren when he awoke clothed and comfortable in a soft bed. The light spilling in from the window let the titan shifter know that it was well past the morning, though still early enough in the day so he didn't lose too much time being unconscious. Or at least he hoped so. Mikasa and Armin had filled him in on all the details, from the accident on Erwin's floor and Levis boots to playing 'horsey' with Jean and then eventually being lost by Jean and taken by the Military Police. That lead to his rescue.

The two had looked at him expectantly, hoping that maybe they had jogged his memories and that he remembered any bits but Eren couldn't quite get over the fact that he completely wet himself in front of the Commander and right on Corporal Levi's boots. Sure, he had been a child and children had accidents (if his mother was alive, she could regale them all with tales of Eren's younger years when he had accidents. Thank goodness Mikasa came years after that). It was absolutely mortifying. Along with the fact that when he was pulled from the titan, the clothes he wore as a child had been shredded at his sudden growth spurt and he had been completely nude upon his recovery! Everyone that had gone to rescue him had seen him completely nude! Bare as the day he was born. Eren could just imagine it now, being taunted by horse face. He would never be able to live this down! Eren just about wished that he was eaten by a titan. Well, he almost wished. Actually he just wished that Hanji wouldn't do strange tests on him, like this one. He wouldn't have even been in the whole mess if it wasn't for them!

"It's alright Eren! We got you covered up and the Corporal didn't seem to mind transporting you back." Armin tried to sooth his friend's embarrassment but that only added to the red color on his face. The Corporal carried him back! The titan shifter buried his face in his hands, rubbing his palms roughly against his eyes. The embarrassment would never end. Never mind, he totally did wish the titan ate him. He wished he could just stay hiding in bed, but Mikasa said that the others would want to see him now that he was awake. So with a sigh in defeat, Eren up and soon enough went to the dining hall with his friends.

Hanji was extremely excited to see him, barely giving him a moment to breathe out a greeting before they were all over him, asking questions about how he was feeling and if he remembered them and everything. Erwin was always the savior, patting Hanji on the shoulder and greeting Eren with his award winning smile. "Glad to see you back to normal." He said sincerely. Already Hanji wanted nothing more than to observe Eren over, to take note of his body to see if there was anything out of the ordinary, anything that showed the rapid aging. Anything that she could work with that could possibly work on other titans. But there was plenty of time to do those another day.

"I think Eren deserves a break from your tests Hanji. Need I remind you that those tests of yours was what got him into the whole predicament to begin with." Given a well needed reprieve by Erwin, Eren was escorted along to get food, taking a seat with the others. The others were keen on sharing their personal experiences with Eren when he was small. Petra started gushing about how sweet he was and cute, with Krista chiming in agreement. Reiner broke out into a laugh, divulging how Eren didn't like how tall he and Bertholdt were. "Even said we were as tall as titans! But then again, you were a pipsqueak!" A playful shove against Eren's shoulder had him blushing with embarrassment again, and laughing lightly along with the others. So far so good. No one was bullying him for this time as a child so Eren felt more at ease. Of course the time was rather short lived.

Jean was looking forward to some revenge. He hadn't forgotten having to play horse as well as that kick to his crotch. "The only difference between you now and you then is you are way uglier now and at least have some bladder control. Still makes a mess like a little brat." He laughed, though his mocking was short lived as his seat gave way and onto the floor he toppled, looking shocked. Others laughed at his misfortune as Levi stood nearby, tea cup in hand and casually sipping away as if Jean falling had only been a gust of wind. "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you Kirschtein. You are on kitchen clean up duty for two months for losing him to the Military Police." Instant Karma. Jean groaned and with some undeserved assistance from Armin, he righted his chair and hunched over his meal, having learned his lesson for the time being.

Truthfully, Eren did remember a few bits. Though all those memories involved Levi. Like when he got sick and the Corporal kept him company, soothing him and singing him to sleep. The soft french lullaby still echoed in his head. The warmth he had felt was something he never would have imagined Levi was capable of. Beating him right in the middle of court without breaking a sweat was of course something Eren knew he could do but holding someone with such tender care? It was rather shocking. It seems like there were so many more sides to the corporal that have yet to be explored and shown to the world.

A cool hand touched his temple, making him jump from his thoughts, half expecting Mikasa to be fretting over him. But it was Levi. Eren had snuck away from the others just an hour before. Since waking up and eating, the group had gone off to do their tasks then was allowed to spend the evening kicking back. Almost every moment of being awake, someone was talking to him, telling him about when he was little, telling him how nice it is that he is back to normal. He needed a break so he went out onto the roof and sat out under the darkening sky.

"Not coming down with something again are you?" Withdrawing his hand, Eren looked rather dumbstruck at him. "What? Need Erwin to rub your back again?" Levi poked fun, seeing as Eren felt fine and was no doubt just in his head. Along with remembering Levi caring for him, Eren did remember when the Commander tucking him against his shoulder, humming and rocking and making him feel safe. Of course the Commander could do that. There didn't seem to be anything that man couldn't do.

"No sir... but I wouldn't mind hearing that song again." He took a chance, being cheeky right back and stunning Levi. A part of him expected to be hit or kicked. But Eren was pleasantly surprised when Levi laughed, a small smirk on his face.

"Once a brat, always a brat."

WOW! Guys, this thing has apparently spanned from 2013 to 2016! I'm so terrible! I hit a pretty bad block on this chapter. I had an idea on how to end it but I just lost it. I feel like I could have done a better job on the conclusion and maybe I'll go back and edit in something better. There are also probably loads of errors in here. Meh.

Like I said in the past, lots of things have happened. I've been just overwhelmed with life stuff. I'm in my second year of my job and that's actually going pretty well. I completed a veterinarian assistant program at my nearby community college and have been searching for a job related to that field. I turned 20and got my drivers license (took me long enough. Now I just need a car.) Also got my wisdom teeth ripped out of me. I actually tried to write something around that time but the medication I was on seriously messed with my head and what I wrote was pretty much trashed haha.

With this now finished up, I'm going to be moving onto working on Monster Sized Love and might possibly start a new series. Probably won't be Attack on Titan. Or it might. WHO KNOWS! I gotta see what my brain can come up with. GOTTA GET THIS BRAIN MOVING AGAIN!

Thank you all for reading and for enjoying the crap I write. Honestly, it's great reading all the comments and seeing how excited ya'll get.

Now for the same ol' stuff I always end with:

Open to creative helpful NICE criticism. If you are gonna be a dick or anything, take it else where.

But other than that, thank you all dear Readers for looking at the fic. Review!

Love Mewtrune
