'Eren...'

Eren's snapped open, sitting up as he raked his hair with a hand. "That dream again..."

He would often hear a voice calling him and feel a warm and caring hand pat his head. Until know he doesn't know if it's real or not.

"You're finally up? Get to it, Jaeger," Jean said as he tossed a red hood on the brunette's face. "Those wolves aren't going to wait for us to come, you know."

"I know, I know," Eren let out an exasperated sigh as he got out of bed. "Get out of my room horse face."

"No need to tell me twice."

Eren spent a few seconds glaring at the door before snatching his shirt from the hanger. He wore his hood afterwards, buttoning it with grace and precision.

After making sure that he looks presentable(despite his messy hair), he grabbed his trusty needles from a drawer and rested them in their little holsters located on both sides of his thighs. He carefully slid his hunting blade inside the scabbard strapped on his back.

He spent a few minutes looking at himself at the mirror to check if everything was secured before putting his boots on.

Red Riding Hood.

Such is the name of his organization, its name was based on the tale called 'Little Red Riding Hood'. It's a hunting organization that specialized in killing wolves which plagued each and every town. The wolves they kill weren't normal as they were bigger than their usual sizes.

Eren was one of the few survivors of the town called Shiganshina. The town that was assaulted by a large wolf pack 5 years ago. Needless to say, many lives were lost, including his parents. His parents were brutally murdered in front of him--thinking that he was going to die that night, he passed out. Only to wake up in the arms of his step father, Hannes, who told him that a stranger had left the boy on his door step.

His savior remained a mystery.

But that didn't matter now. He wanted revenge. He wanted to avenge the people who fell victim to the wolves.

"Be wary of the wolf's size, if you think you can't handle it alone, fire your flares. The flare exists not only to temporarily blind your enemies, they also serve as a request for back up. Keep that in mind." Shadis instructed.

"Hope you remember what Shadis said," Jean whispered to Eren, earning an elbow to his gut. "Fuck--"

"Is there something wrong, Kirschtein?"

"N-no sir!" the ash brunette sent Eren a glare.

"Very well. Disperse!"

Eren wore a smug grin, trying to stifle his laughter.

"I don't care if you're one our best hunters, but that doesn't disregard the fact that you're a suicidal bastard."

"It also doesn't disregard the fact that you look like a horse," Eren said as he hopped off the carriage, running off into the forest. Not giving his rival the chance to come up with a comeback.

Eren's grin quickly disappeared, he focused all of his senses--something that was expected from a hunter. He could hear the crunching of leaves as he stepped on them. The wind. The flapping of wings. 

Upon hearing the sound of a girl's sobs, he quickly ran towards the sound. There she was, sobbing helplessly. Two corpses--both partially consumed, decorated the vicinity.

A wolf towered over her, playing with her silky black hair. Eren's pupils turned into slits the moment he saw traces of blood on the wolf's mouth.

Silently, he slid his hunting blade out of its scabbard and charged for the wolf. The leaves did nothing but reveal his presence to the beast. The wolf's eyes widened ever so slightly, a detail that escaped the brunette's mind.

Eren swiped the needles from its holsters and threw it in the wolf's direction. Nailing both of its hands. He tackled the beast before it could think of fighting back. Resting the blade a breath away from the beast's neck.

"Kill...I will kill all of you..."

The wolf then assumed the appearance of a human being, save for his tail. The needles went through both of his hands. He looked up at the brunette with a calm expression. Eren adjusted his blade's position. He wore a murderous expression, thinking of various ways of slitting the beast's throat.

"Eren..."

His eyes widened. That voice.

The man raised his hand despite the needle that lodged itself in his hand. The action looked painful but it didn't show on the man's face. Gently, he grabbed the boy's hand and made it drop the blade. 

"Eren..." he repeated.

"Who are you? Why do you--nngh!" Eren fell backwards, having the man pin him down. What's going on? Why did he let the bastard grab him? Why didn't he kill the beast? Why didn't he want to kill the monster?

The raven haired man stroke the brunette's cheek, trailing up to pull his hood down.  For the last time, he called. "Eren."

Eren closed his eyes, tears threatened to stain his cheeks.

I see....so it was you.

You were my...

My savior.

---------Cue Epic Time Skip----------

"Where's Eren?" Mikasa asked.

"Quit looking for him, he's not here." Levi muttered. "He passed by earlier and asked me where you were."

She pulled her scarf a little higher to cover her lips, "I see...I'll keep looking then."

Levi let out a sigh once the girl was out of sight. He lifted his (awfully large and fluffy) tail, revealing a sleeping brunette. He stroked the boy's hair and settled with cupping his cheek in his palm.

"Oi...stop making my tail your pillow..." he whispered.

"It's soft...let me sleep longer..." Eren groaned, shifting his sleeping position.

-------------BACK STORY---------------

When Eren was still a kid, he took care of a young and injured wolf even if it was a dangerous creature. That injured wolf was Levi and was grateful but had to leave Eren to protect him. He saved Eren when Shiganshina was attacked and left him in front of Hannes' door.

The girl Eren found was Mikasa who was also 15 that time. Her parents were murdered and Levi saved her. The traces of blood on his lips belonged to the wolves he attacked. Needless to say, they ran away with their tails between their legs.

And so Levi and Eren were united. Mikasa views Levi as her guardian and Eren as her savior. She wears a scarf to hide a scar on her neck which was caused by the wolf who attacked her. She decided to join Red Riding Hood so she could be with Eren in Levi's place since he's a wolf and hanging out with one is not really welcomed.
