Chapter 07: Similar Eyes

Levi’s eyebrow rose at the sight of the documents piled up on his desk. He crossed his arms in full irritation, he cursed silently.

“I thought I was supposed to check the patient, not the documents?!” He spat at Erwin who only smiled. Levi gritted his teeth, the man knew how much he hated looking through the papers, he’d much rather be handling a patient in the wards.

“You know, those kids got several injuries, you are supposed to handle them. If you don’t know their sickness, how are you going to treat them?” Levi sighed and walked over his desk, picking up one of the files.

“Are these all? I don’t want to have another coming when I’m halfway through these shits.” Erwin nodded.

“I believe that’s all, it’s not much, Levi. I know you are smart, you can handle them just fine.” Erwin ignored the glare he received.

“What’s this test is for? This girl had no family.”

“We need to check her DNA, Isabel isn’t stable yet. She’s still in shock, she won’t speak much of anything. The list is still ongoing and we need a quick treatment.”

“You do realize that Hanji is currently doing another DNA test you gave the other day, remember? Didn’t she have any parents to visit?”

“Isabel ran away from her parents. They mistreated her badly. I don’t want to hand her over if they happen to claim that they’re her parents. Something is amiss and they happened to come here and wanted to take her. I’m afraid some crime happened here.”

“Erwin, this is a hospital. That kind of thing must be handled by the police, our job is just to treat her, not to give her a home…” Such a cold reply, but Erwin had gotten used to his way of thinking.

“I know that, Levi. At least try to make her speak with a therapy, that way we’ll know something about her real parents.”

“Was she kidnapped? Do you want me to hypnotize her?” They stared at each other for quite a while.

“We’re not sure yet, but due to her not wanting to talk, I’m sure that it’ll be the issue. You can let something out from her. That’s a part of learning; you’ve seen how I do it. Take it as a first step, Levi.” Levi shook his head.

“You are telling me to use her for my practice?”

“You know what to do if things go wrong.” Levi left the other file on his desk and decided to handle the girl first. The moment he reached the lab, Hanji gave him a gleeful look. He decided to just drop the file to let her know what she was supposed to do before he talked to Isabel. He didn’t expect her to ask him a question which never crossed his mind before.

“Maybe you can gain some memory back if you get your DNA checked, Levi?”

“Oh? And who are you going to compare my blood with?” Levi threw her a look and slammed the door shut. Hanji stared at the door. She sighed and returned her gaze back to the screen.

“It’s not very sweet, but if you want to make it less sweet then it’s fine.” Grisha said once he took a taste of Eren’s bread. It was just a trial, but he was surprised on how his son could make something valuable on his first try. He guessed, making him watch from the sidelines wasn’t a bad idea either. Eren scrutinized the bread he sold behind the register.

“You need to handle the dough with much care, Eren.” Grisha handed him the seaweed sprinkled for the finishing touches.

“We’ll have Eren’s breads for our daily breakfast until he can sell for good!” Carla chimed happily and took one of the bread from the aluminum foil. Eren’s cheek turned red in embarrassment, but deep inside he felt proud. The burden slowly lifted up and he managed to make something good from a start. He eyed the bread, still five left, Eren couldn’t help his excitement for giving Levi his first bread. He might as well wrap it in a nice wrapping like a gift.

“I’ll take two of these.” Carla gasped once she realized what her son was up to.

“Are you going to give it to someone? Was that the reason you’ve been so worked up on making bread?” She cooed and giggled when Eren blushed.

“No, I’m not going to… I mean, it’s for Armin!” He lied, and Carla flicked his red ear.

“You are not very good at lying…” She said and ruffled his hair affectionately. Eren hissed at his mother and swatted her hand away, covering his red ear.

“I’ll get going now.” The brunet quickly snatched the breads with attempt to hide his embarrassment. He stopped before the door when his father called him. Eren looked behind him in question, wondering if there was something he missed.

“You’ve worked hard.” Eren looked at his father astounded, he never expected his father to admit like that.

“I… thanks, Dad.” Eren grinned widely, he quickly walked into the shop to steal some plastic wrapper and pick up a green ribbon from the box. Out of his earshot Carla giggled and Grisha shook his head.

“Oh my God, I think we’ll have Armin as our son in-law.” At that Carla laughed at her husband.

---

Eren was mortified when Mikasa entered the shop, eyeing him questioningly at the mess of tangled ribbon. A man walked inside after her, sending him a polite smile, making Eren stutter at his sister’s fiancé.

“Don’t say anything, I know how horrible I wrapped these…” Eren scowled at his sister while trying to pull his tangled hands from the ribbon he bound his wrists together with.

“She will be honored to receive such delicious breads.” Ian chuckled, Eren’s eyebrow twitched. Although it wasn’t a girl that he was planning to give to.

“Give them to me.” Mikasa took the wrapped breads before Eren could protest. She swiftly wrapped a nice ribbon on each of the wrappers, giving them back to Eren with a smug expression. She pulled the ribbon off from Eren’s wrist, freeing him from his own mess.

“I owe you one.” Eren hissed while gathering the nicely wrapped breads, muttering a quick thank you, and put them inside the goody-bag. He was surprised when Mikasa didn’t ask who it was for. He stared at the bag, frowned a little, maybe he could give Levi a call before coming over to his place.

“I won’t be home for dinner!” Eren shouted and walked outside the shop. On his way out, Eren punched Levi’s number, his heartbeat getting faster as he waited for Levi to pick up. He didn’t receive any answer though, he wondered if Levi was at home. He still remembered the way to his apartment, maybe he could just visit him. Eren hummed a lyric to himself as his feet brought him to the train station. He wondered what will Levi say when he found out that Eren stood in front of his door.

“Erwin, don’t you think that’s a good idea? I mean, we should have done it ever since he started getting more headaches.” Hanji’s voice could be heard from outside the laboratory. Erwin stared at her; he could see her eyes sparkle with too much enthusiasm. The blonde man shook his head.

“I’m not sure if that will work out, but I’ve been planning to do it to him. Maybe we can pull something from deep inside him if I hypnotize him. I’m not sure how much information that will leak out, though.” Hanji gave him the file.

“An intelligent man came this afternoon, but Levi wasn’t there to see him. I hid it from him. This boy… it’s him, isn’t it.” Hanji pulled out the file from the brown folder. She stared at the photo of a young boy at the age of twelve, a year younger than Levi.

“Rivaille was his name? So he pronounced it wrong since he couldn’t remember it himself.”

“It seems like it. His eyes and expression never change.” Hanji chuckled and slide the paper back into the folder.

“I’ll see what I can do.” Erwin muttered and took the file from Hanji.

---

“I was hit by the vase… as soon as I realized, I had run out from the house with my bleeding arm.” The girl said slowly, her green eyes closed as she gripped the sofa’s leather tightly. She gasped when she remembered the pain, the scene before her eyes and started to scream. Levi poked her forehead several times.

“Isabel, no worries, you are alright, you are safe. Calm yourself and talk to me. Tell me if you have any siblings or any other home that you can go to.” Isabel sobbed.

“My brother, Farlan… I have no idea where I can find him. He was in the other town, studying for university.” She sobs. Levi stared at her, the foster parent that took care of her since her parent past away probably never let her brother know in what condition she was. Farlan couldn’t take her since he needed to study, but in this condition, she needs her real family.

“You shall reunite soon enough. You are free to speak out of your fear, Isabel. From now on, you will be in better surroundings and will be much more cheerful. Open your eyes slowly until the countdown to one, slowly just like we did before we start.” With that Levi countdown from ten to one, his eyes met the emerald eyes, similar to Eren’s. Levi blinked, those eyes looked similar like his brother in his memory. Wincing slightly as the pain shoot through his head, Levi clutched his forehead.

“Umm are you alright?” Isabel asked, staring at him in worried. He patted her small hand, giving him a terse smile.

“Don’t worry about me. Tell me where your brother stays? Do you know any information?” Isabel looked down.

“I only remember it’s in Trost District.” Levi stayed silent, something deep within made him remember the accident he encountered years ago. Erwin had told him that he was caught in a accident, asked him if he could take some memory back in, but he couldn’t remember a thing. Since then Erwin decided to just let it go and took him in, just like what he did to Isabel. The man showed great care for children.

“I see… We’ll try to search for your brother, if that’s what you want. Maybe by then you can also live with him.” Isabel’s eyes lightened up, Levi had the urge to pat her head.

---

Levi gave his superior an annoyed look.

“I told you I don’t want to have anything with my lost memory. I’ll live the way I am, now, Erwin! No need to look back to the past.”

“You have to check the envelope though, I’m sure it’ll have good information of it. An intelligent man came this morning, maybe he can also help with Isabel’s brother. It was like, one thing lead to another. Trost District isn’t it?” Erwin insisted, shoved the envelope to Levi who glared at him. He looked down to the envelope, staring at it.

“Just bring that with you, it’s the copy from what the man gave to us. The man named Ian searched for me since I’m the one in charge of that bus accident that time. The boy in the photo, I’m sure it is you.” Erwin gave him a look.

“We’re trying to help, Levi, no, Rivaille.” Hanji stepped in, making Levi raised an eyebrow at the new name.

“Leave me alone.” Levi hissed and walked past them, not even looking back for another conversation.

“Despite the fact that he seemed bothered by it, he brought the envelope with him.” Hanji chuckled, staring at Levi’s back until he disappeared behind the closed door.

“It’ll be fine, there’s the fear that he didn’t want to come to face it. He’ll look into the information he got as curiosity build in.” Erwin turned around and walked back into the ward to check on Isabel.

---

Levi was surprised when he came up to his door and found Eren sitting on the floor right in front of his door.

“What are you doing here?” Levi asked annoyed, as the boy grinned sheepishly. “How long did you wait for me? You know it’s past dinner time.”

“I don’t check, but I guess around an hour? I just wanted to wait for you and drop this…” Eren flushed and showed him the goody bag. Levi stared at the nicely wrapped bread inside and smirked.

“Are you the one who wrapped that?” Eren pouted and looked down.

“Forget it, I’m not giving this to you.” Before he could runaway, Levi grabbed his collar.

“Hold up, I’m sure you don’t want your effort to be wasted with that sarcasm. I’ll make tea, come on, brat. Stop sulking.” Eren had no choice but to obey.

Settling in the overly neat room made the brunet nervous. He was afraid of leaving a single speck of dust as he sat on the sofa, waiting for Levi with his tray of tea. His eyes drifted to the big brown envelope that Levi left on the table. Deciding it was just some patient’s document, Eren shrugged and pulled out his phone to check any message, keeping him distracted.

“So, it’s cinnamon with seaweed? Weird combination.” Levi appeared, setting two cup of tea on the table, set the plate with two breads beside the cup and sat beside Eren after putting the tray away. He picked up the bread and brought it to his mouth, tasting it. His eyes lightened, watching Eren’s eyes glued on him for any feedback.

“Not bad.” Levi muttered after he swallowed.

“Good job, kid. Your first bread actually tastes wonderful.” Levi gave him a smile and Eren’s face flushed bright red.

“T-thanks… I’m glad you like it.” Eren sent him a stupid grin in which Levi had to fight the urge to ruffle those brown locks.

“Sorry I made you wait, you could have told me sooner. I’ve got patients to handle.” Eren smiled and leaned back.

“I’m fine, I called you once, but you didn’t pick up. I assumed you were busy, so I decided to just wait until you came back. Tomorrow I got school, so I might not be able to come here. What kind of patient?” Levi nodded, munching half of the bread.

“A little girl, she got violate by her foster parents and we got to search for her brother in Trost District. That’s all she remembered. We got to hand her over to her brother, I don’t want to deal with the law and shits, but Erwin insist on finding out. We could use some intelligence for that.”

“Search for a brother? I see… My brother was long gone.” Eren said, giving him a smile. Levi looked at him serene.

“What happened to your brother if I may ask?”

“He passed away when I was still a baby, got in a bus accident on the way to Trost.” Levi stared at him. Again. Trost.

“I see… I’m sorry.” Eren shook his head, their eyes stared at each other. Levi put the palm of his hand to Eren’s cheek.

“Your eyes are beautiful, Eren. Somehow I remembered those eyes were similar with my brother’s eyes.” Eren blinked, confused when Levi suddenly said it.

“Your brother? You have a brother?” Levi’s lips curved into a thin smile.

“I can’t remember him anymore. I got into an accident and lost my memory. The only thing I remember were my brother’s eyes. They are so beautiful just like yours.” Levi paused when Eren made a face.

‘So, you see me as a brother, eh? What if I want to be more than that?’ The teen yelped when Levi flicked his forehead.

“That hurt! What are you doing?”

“No long face, I’m sure you are thinking something stupid.” Eren hissed at him and Levi gave him a smug look.

“Finish the tea and you can stay over the night if you want to, it’s up to you.” Seeing Eren’s stupid grin, Levi rolled his eyes.
