A/N: So I made this story on Archive Of Our Own (I'm RirenOTP) so I thought I could write it on here too! I'm saying this in the beginning so if you already read this, you won't say: Hey, she copied this person! Anyway yeah, enjoy!

Today's Friday right? Yeah, I have no homework today. The date? I think the tenth of November. I should remember this day. Yeah I should since this is the day where my useless father left me. I should've seen it coming..

Eren's thoughts were all mixed up, mostly of anger, sadness and confusion. He saw his father just this morning. It was the usual, Eren got cereal, Grisha got a piece of toast while reading the newspaper, etc, etc.

However it's midnight now and his father still isn't home. Eren was mad but he wasn't that surprised. His father had become a gambler ever since his mom died in a car accident. He was only ten years old yet he vowed to avenge his mother. But besides that, his fathers problem was worse.

He had started drinking, smoking, almost quitted his job. Grisha never abused Eren nor blamed him but he did argue with him. After a few months, he got fired. They needed money so his father did what he thought was the best choice. Gambling.

He won some, lost some but he did owe some people for borrowing money. Five years later and he's gone. The debts must've been too much. Eren clutched his fist angered. He never really understood why his father had to go into gambling, he could've got another job. But now, what's worse is that they know where he lives.

Eren was sitting on the couch staring at the TV which wasn't turned on when the door was kicked down. He turned his head and noticed a man with black hair that was shaved in the back. He had pale skin and seemed small but not scrawny. He was wearing a black suit. (Though despise his height Eren could tell he was around 5"4) he had menacing eyes.

"Where's Grisha Yeager?" asked the man, Eren looked down.

"Left."

"To?"

"Somewhere."

The short man walked up to Eren and glared, "And you are?"

"Eren, Eren Yeager. You?"

"As if I'd tell you."

Eren sheepishly grinned."It was worth a try." Now, Eren didn't know if it was his imagination or this actually happened but the shorter male's eyes sparkled for a second.

"Anyway, I suppose you already know what this is all about so I'll tell you what. Since your old man left you, I'll spare your life-"

"What's the catch?" Eren interrupted, annoying the other male.

"Did no one tell you to not cut off your superiors? As I was saying. I'll spare your life if you work for me. Either that or stay here and be sold by another guy." He paused, "I think I already know what you would pick so come on."

Eren frowned, "Stop. I don't want your pity. Besides, I'm not going to listen to a midget-" He had got cut off, by a kick to the face.

Actually, he passed out and lost consciousness. Eren really shouldn't have underestimated him. But just before he was about to pass out, he heard the shorter man saying something.

"Oi shitty brat, don't die on me."

When Eren woke up all he saw was a light. He felt as if he was flying but he couldn't feel his face or his body. Was he in heaven? No. He would never make it past the gate with his attitude.

"About time you woke up." A voice said, startling Eren. Immediately he blinked his eyes until he saw someone.

It was the violent midget.

Eren fell off, he hadn't noticed he was on the midgets lap. He groaned in pain and glared at the man who shrugged.

"Don't blame me for your stupidity."

Eren scowled and noticed they were in a carriage, his father used to take him when his work was nearby. "Whatever. Where am I anyway?"

The man "tched" and then spoke, "Did you even listen to me? I said you'll be working for me. We're almost there."

Eren raised a brow, "So then what exactly happened? Why did I pass out?"

The man kept quiet, "No clue. But all I'm going to say for now is that my name is Levi. You better remember that brat."

"Hey! I have a name you know-"

"We're here." Levi dusted his pants and then got up. "It's a good thing we're here or then I would've strangled you to death. Now get up and let one of my best brats show you around." Eren was still sitting on the other seat staring at the floor. Levi broke him out of his daydream by slapping him on the back of the head. "Oi, already slacking off?" Eren shook his head and sighed.

"I was just curious if, um, well-" "Just say it. It's not like I'll actually murder you." Eren nodded.

"Well um, I was wondering...this is a legal job, right?" he asked nervously.

Levi smirked in amusement while crossing his arms. "Don't worry. It's legal and appropriate. I think you'll like it just fine."

Levi and Eren went inside the house. Well, Eren wouldn't call it a house since it looked more like a mansion! It was huge,had stairs, many doors. Though it lacked color.

"Ackerman. We have a new worker." he spoke calmly though you could barley hear it.

Suddenly somebody came down the stairs. Supposedly surname or name Ackerman, she had long black hair and emotionless eyes though she didn't see intimidating like Levi. Once she came down she bowed to Levi. "Shall I make him wear the uniform now or later?"

Levi motioned his hand so he could whisper something. (She had to bend down.) Mikasa nodded in understand meant and looked at Eren. "I am Mikasa Ackerman, I will be showing you around and help you become a decent maid." Eren's face literally froze after that sentence. Maid?! Was he supposed to wear a skirt like her?! Eren shook his head, no of course not! Levi probably had some male uniforms he could wear. He calmed down after that and nodded.

Eren Yeager. And don't worry, I'll do my best so I can get out of here!" He said with a smirk. Mikasa noticed he had a bit of fire in his eyes and for a second, she was alive. Well her eyes actually looked alive. She hadn't lived ever since her parents died. What was so different about this boy? Mikasa shook her head and placed a small smile. "I'm glad to see you determined. Follow me upstairs so you change." And with that, Mikasa leaded Eren upstairs to the changing room. They stopped at a room, Mikasa opened the door. Once she did, Eren's jaw literally dropped.

The room was big! How many people worked here!?

"Around eleven including you." Mikasa spoke as if she read his thoughts. Eren nodded impressed, no wonder Levi said she was one of the bests.

"So about the uniform, where is it and where do I exactly change?" He asked. Mikasa walked forward, Eren followed behind. There were two more dorms inside the room labeled "female" and "male" Eren thought he was going to have a heart attack. Just how rich was Levi anyway? How good was he as a gambler anyway?

"Your uniform is inside. Get changed and then come out so I can show you the basics."

Eren nodded going inside. Though he covered his mouth in fear when he saw the uniform.

"Mikasa?"

"Are you sure this is what I'm supposed to wear?"

She kept quiet for a bit.

"Mikasa?"

"...positive. "
