Eren's day wasn't going well to say the least. He had woken up late, and gotten into a fight with Jean at breakfast and then Levi made them clean the whole base. And now, well now Eren is lying on the forest floor with a most likely broken leg. His breath came in short, ragged gasps, both from the pain and the shock. He had tried to shout and get someone's attention but his voice was lost.

"Eren?" Levi called from somewhere above. Eren wanted to call to Levi but nothing would come out. He could only groan quietly, and even that was a huge strain. Somehow Levi managed to hear his cry and come down from the trees to where Eren was collapsed on the ground.

"Hey.." Eren murmured, his features contorted in pain.

"Eren... What happened?" Levi said as he crouched down to inspect Eren. To a normal person, Levi would look like a concerned friend, but everyone who knew him could see that Levi was worried about Eren and that his feelings for the boy went beyond a platonic love. Seeing Eren like this upset the corporal. To those who payed attention, it was obvious that Levi treated the Titan shifter better then most of the other soldiers. The little "accidental" touches in the hallway or during one to one training in the yard. Hand to hand combat seemed to be when all the unconscious flirting happened. It was pretty obvious that Eren felt the same as Levi but they were both so obvious to each other's feelings. Both of them are so protective over each other to the point where Eren punched Jean in the face repeatedly because Jean insulted the captain and it's practically the same with Levi. But now as Levi gazes at the broken body of the boy, his need to protect him increased tenfold.

Eren took an unsteady breath.

"I fell," he said softly, looking up at Levi. His friend's face was edged with deep concern, his forehead creased. Eren couldn't helpthinking how cute that made him look. He knew he shouldn't lie to Levi, but he didn't want the boy to worry about him. He had enough in his mind. "I'll be fine, Levi, really." Levi stared at him, not believing what Eren had just said. He tried to keep his rough exterior up and make Eren stop lying about his current state, but, his face inevitably softened.

"Oh Eren..." Levi said pulling Eren into a warm embrace.

"You scared me" Eren could feel Levi's hot breath on his neck.

"I'm sorry" Levi pulled away just enough to look at Eren's face. The was a small cut on his cheek, drops of blood were running down his face. He reached out and wiped the blood away but letting his fingers linger on Eren's face.

"Come on, let's get you to Hanji yeah?" Eren nods his head and allows the strong man to pull him up. Eren tried to take a small step, pain flaring in his leg. He cried out, falling back into Levi's arms. A tear ran down his cheek.

"Ow.." He whimpered softly. "I, um, I don't think I can walk, Levi.."

"It's fine I will carry you"

"Levi a- are you sure? I'm kinda heavy" Levi completely disregarded Eren's comment and scooped him up into his arms

"Are you sure you're heavy? Because, I'm having no problem carrying you" Eren smiled weakly, leaning against Levi's chest. His head rested on the shorter man's shoulder, his eyes closing slowly.

"Can I take a nap?" Eren slurred quietly.

"Yeah" Levi whispers. Eren snuggled closer into Levi and fell asleep. Levi looked down at Eren sleeping face, even in sleep Eren looks worked up. Levi brought up a hand and smoothed the creases between his brows. He couldn't stop looking at Eren's gorgeous face, a smile playing on his lips. 'It almost looks like his glowing'. He walked towards base for what seemed like hours, Eren curled up in his arms the entire way there. Finally Levi reached the base. He was disappointed that he couldn't hold the sleeping boy in his arms but he knew he had to get him the medical attention he needs.

"Hey Hanji, we have a situation" Levi said as he bursted into Hanji's room.

"Oh hey Levi, what happened?" Levi looked down at the sleeping boy in his arms, "Eren fell and broke his legi think."

"Oh okay, set him over here and I will take a look" Hanji points at a empty bed and the end of the room. Levi caries the sleeping boy to the bed and reluctantly sets him down. Eren frowns at the lack of heat, and wiggles around trying to get more comfortable. As soon as he gets comfortable, he falls back into a deep sleep, unmoving. Hanji watched Levi gaze at Eren lovingly with a smirk on her face. She wished they would stop dancing around and just admit their feelings for each other and kiss or something. Hanji rolled up Eren's pant leg, skimming her hand over the break. "Damnit.." She said softly, grimacing. Levi bit his lip, gently stroking Eren's forehead.

"It's a clean break, he will be in a cast for about a month. His healing process is faster then ours due to his titan shifting abilities, but it won't heal the break completely." Levi didn't say anything, he just continued to stoke the boys forehead.

"Levi, he's going to need someone to help him get around." Levi looked up, his expression blank. Hanji smiled knowingly, and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"I know you want to" she said in a sing song voice. Levi glared at her, but it had no effect on Hanji.

"Your death glares don't work on me anymore" she boasted gleefully, her smile getting wider. Levi looked like he was going to blow a fuse, if Hanji poked fun at him one more time she was most likely going to end up in the same predicament as Eren. Hanji chucked and got up from her seat, "I will leave you two alone *wink wink*."

"Hanji!" She chucked and walked out the door leaving Eren and Levi alone. Levi looked down at Eren and couldn't help smiling. He looked like he was thinking hard about some unknown problem that he would never be able to solve. He was so... Eren. Levi sat next to him on the bed, brushing a strand of hair away from his forehead. Eren frowned slightly, still asleep. Levi just wanted to hold him in his arms and never let go, to protect him from everything, to comfort him as long as they lived. Unsteadily, he stood and followed Hanji out the door.

"Hanji what the hell" hanji spins around and giggles as she looks at Levi's "angry" face.

Levi glares and Hanji giggles harder, until she brakes out into full on laughing.

"Hanji!"

"I'm sorry I'm sorry" she says still giggling a bit "it's just, you two are so cute"

"Shut up"

"Kiss kiss fall in lov-" Hanji couldn't finish her sentence due to Levi punching her in the boob

"Ow ow ow, okay that's not fair" Hanji says and she grips her boobs. Levi smirks smugly as he watch Hanji groan in pain.

"Hey, it got you to shut up." Levi said sassily. Hanji glared at him.

"That was cruel" Hanji frowns "that was really cruel" Levi lets out a low chuckle

"You totally deserved it" and with that remark, Levi walks back inside to see Eren sitting up in his bed, grimacing.
