A/N: The question for Isayama was: "So...about Levi and Erwin..."

Isayama: *sigh*

The Ackerman Corporation: the very definition of elegance, wealth, and backstabber-y. At its head is the profound and infamous woman Kuchel Ackerman. Kuchel worked her way out of the dumps and up to the top where she became the top 10 richest people in the world. Back when she was still worked as a prostitute to earn money, she became pregnant with her illegitimate son whom she named Levi. Currently, Levi was working under his mother so that one day he could take over the company.

There was just one problem: Levi didn't want to.

In his early years, Levi had been extremely introverted. He insisted that none of the kids liked him and when his mother replaced public school for homeschool he complained of it being too lonely. Never knowing just how to make feel the most comfortable, Kuchel decided that she'd allow someone else to: a babysitter.

Now, Kuchel may insist that she didn't abandon her child to be taken care of by another woman, but that's essentially it. Dealing with neglect and bullying, Levi became resentful towards his mother and now refused to take over the company which he knew would make his mother the happiest in the world.

Levi had styled his hair into an undercut in defiance and started to hang around with people whom he knew his mother wouldn't approve of. He thought, If she cares who I hang out with, then she should care enough to actually be home.

Of course, things were busy at the company and recently stocks had been low and everything had just been so stressful that she hadn't the time to notice what her disobedient son Levi was up to. She hadn't even the time to realize that he'd flown to Jamaica for a week during Spring break with his friends.

Within that week, some crucial things took place in Levi's life. For example, Levi lost his virginity . . . to a man. Levi and the man -- Erwin -- had been extremely drunk and they both thought that it had been just some action of a few drunken men. Of course, Levi was skeptical since when you're drunk you usually do things impulsively and if he and Erwin had had sex then his body had done it impulsively.

Ironically, coming back from Jamaica had seemed like the most least stressful thing he'd done that week.

Levi tried to push it back from his mind, but whenever he was left alone with his thoughts, Erwin's blue eyes and golden hair would come back to him. After about a day, Erwin's presence seemed to haunt his memories, dreams, and thoughts. Levi had to come to terms with the fact that he had fallen in love with Erwin, and if not then he was highly attracted to him. What did he know about love? He was only some 17 year old kid trying to piss his mom off and get through the world.

Fast forward to the present, where Levi and Kuchel are walking down an ornately polished hallway within the corporate headquarters on their way to meet Kuchel's new husband and Levi's new step-dad and son. Kuchel has threatened to kick Levi out of her home unless he gets his life back together (to which he replied, "You mean agree to inherit the company?") and was giving him one last chance to prove himself. Levi couldn't even less than a shit than he already did, but his mother was forcing him to come with her.

Kuchel's hair was pinned up against her head in a neat, blond bun and her diamond earrings could blind a man with one glance. Her skin was clear, her chin raised, and her gait authoritative. Kuchel's eyes shown a cold dark blue -- perhaps the only thing that she'd passed onto her son. Her high heeled shoes clicked annoyingly on the polished floor -- each click ringing in her son's ears who followed close behind. The gray pantsuit and white undershirt she wore fit her nicely and brought out her curves she still had at her growing age.

Levi was dressed in a gray suit with a black undershirt and white tie. He'd spent the last couple of minutes trying to annoy his mother by slamming his dress shoes down particularly hard and messing with the diamond cufflinks adorning his jacket sleeves. "You can always judge a man by his cufflinks," Kuchel had said while she insisted on buying him expensive ones. While his mother walked with an air of professionalism, he walked with an essence of "I don't give a shit" along with "Get me outta here".

"Don't screw this up," came Kuchel's sharp voice from in front of him.

"Wouldn't dream of it," he replied. His sarcasm was not lost on her.

"Remember, we're meeting the owner of the Smith Corporation and his son. We will be married soon and not only our families but the companies will be merged as well."

"So you're using marriage as a business advantage."

Silence.

"Quite unhealthy if you ask me."

"No one asked you."

Levi scoffed. "Whatever."

They finally reached a set of expensive-looking doors where a stone-faced woman stood waiting for them.

She said, "Mr. Smith and his son are just inside these doors."

As soon as Kuchel and Levi stood in front of the door, the woman pulled on the two handles to reveal the people standing in the room.

Kuchel smiled.

Levi's jaw dropped all the way down to the first floor (quite an achievement seeing as they were on the 35th).

"Anthony!" Kuchel cooed. "So nice to finally meet you!" She turned her head to look at the younger teen besides Anthony with blue eyes and golden hair. "Is this your son?" she asked politely.

"Yes! This is my son Erwin--"

"HEY! You're the guy I had sex with in Jamaica!" Levi suddenly shouted.

Erwin's entire body seemingly froze in shock and embarrassment. His fists clenched and his jaw tightened -- no doubt realizing just how much of a compromising situation he was in.

All heads turned towards the dark-haired male standing agape at the entrance to the boardroom. Kuchel's face had turned a bright shade of red and her demeanor changed from cool and collected to extremely confused in less than two seconds.

"Since when did you go to Jamaica?!" she screeched. "And you had sex with this man?!"

Before Levi could answer, Erwin interjected with, "You clean up nice, Levi."

"You don't do so bad yourself, you fucker."

Levi smirked.

Erwin winked.

"I wouldn't expect any less from you," Erwin coolly replied.

Mr. Smith had gone completely rigid.

Kuchel was frozen in shock and confusion.

"So . . ." Levi began, "we're gonna be brothers now? That sucks."

"We don't have to be. We aren't blood related and I don't honestly consider you my family."

"Yeah, they aren't even married yet! We've still got time."

"Excuse me," Erwin's father finally spoke. "But I'm rather confused about the situation. Erwin, clear this up for me."

"Levi," Kuchel interjected, "explain to me what is happening."

Both boys began to talk at the same time. Both stopped at the same time. Both parents looked at each of them coldly.

"Well . . . we were going to go out to dinner after this for some family bonding," Mr. Smith began, "but it seems you two don't need it!"

"Agreed," Kuchel stated.

"Erwin, you wanna go out to dinner?"

"Excuse me?!" Mr. Smith cried.

"Since these two aren't gonna go out, you wanna go?" Levi had to try his best not to turn into a blushing, stuttering mess in front of his mom. Blushing about Erwin in front of Erwin was bad enough, but having his "parents" there would be worse.

"I'd love to," Erwin smirked.

Levi swiftly turned to leave and Erwin followed. Just as Erwin had made it out of the room, Kuchel ran up to Levi and grabbed onto his shoulder tightly.

She hissed in his ear, "Forget about everything! Don't come home. You've ruined my life enough as it is."

Levi turned around to face her with a fierce glare. "I was gonna run away anyways." Levi strong hand gripped his mother's wrist and pried her fingers off his shoulder. "Get lost."

Kuchel glared at the both of them as they swiftly walked away.

"Hey uh . . . Erwin," Levi spoke quietly after they were safely away from their parents.

"Yes?"

"I was planning to run away from my family, but I don't really consider you my family despite the circumstances. So . . . what I'm trying to say is . . . "

"Levi, are you asking me to run away with you?"

"Uh, yes?"

Erwin seemed to genuinely smile at that. "Sure."

It's crappy. I know. I'll edit it later.
