This is indeed a yaoi, implying its boyXboy. So if that's not your kind of thing I'm sorry, if it is then please enjoy!
Levi woke up with a slight groan. The light began to pour in through the curtains of his room, telling him it was time to wake up. He turned onto his back, starring up at the ceiling. His head throbbed with an intense pain. He brought his fingers to his forehead and rubbed. What a great way to wake up. Not only did he have a pounding headache but it seemed every touch of the sheets on his skin agitated him. The rest he had the night before had been terrible. He had done nothing but toss and turn the entire night. Perhaps he could manage to find a way to sneak away from his squad and steal a few moments rest. Until then he'd have to push through.
He dragged himself down the hall, still trying to make himself presentable. He had to keep his back straight and his head high. Even if it killed him to. His squad looked up to him. He couldn't afford to let them see him weakened.
At breakfast he stayed quiet. Out of the corner of his eye Eren spotted his Captain sitting, mindlessly playing with his food. Though he seemed okay Eren and learnt to see past it. After all, now that Levi was responsible for him he often found himself spending the most time with the corporal more than the rest of the squad. It hadn't taken long for Eren to figure out how Levi worked. He could see the exhaust on the corporal's eyes. Something was just off about him.
Levi placed his fork down and reached for his tea. He had no appetite what so ever. Though he wanted to eat it seemed that he just couldn't. There was no desire and everything tasted bland. Then again it wasn't like they were eating the food of a king either. Bland was to be expected.
As he took a sip of his tea his eyes caught with Jeager's. What was with the brat? Staring at him like that. Levi hid a slight scoff. He knew the kid admired him but staring at him like that was just another thing. Dealing with him would not help this on growing headache. Perhaps fresh air would help.
Even watched Levi stand and make his way down the corridor. Everyone was too into their conversation to notice.
" Isn't that right Jeager? Huh? Eren are you even listening to me?" Jean asked. Even glanced up at him, shocked.
" Sorry, I'm not feeling so well." He lied. Sasha's lips turned down into a frown.
" Perhaps you should go get some rest. It seems Captain Levi wasn't doing too well either so I'm sure he won't notice if you're gone." She made sure to keep her voice low as the rest ignored them and continued on with their conversation.
" So you noticed it too?"
She gave a firm nod.
" Go ahead and check up on him," She started as she leaned in closer to him," I'm just as worried as you are and I'm sure the rest would be too if they knew. I'll keep you covered."
Eren couldn't stop himself from smiling in admiration.
" Thank you Sasha. Here you can eat the rest of my breakfast."
It was as if a light had dashed across her eyes. Immediately she poured the rest of his food onto her plate and began to devour it all, forgetting all about their talk they had only a few moments before. Eren rushed out of the room, making sure Mikasa or anyone else noticed him, and raced down the hall just in time to see Levi turn the corner. Where in the world was the corporal going?
Eren made sure to stay just the right amount of distance behind him. The last thing he wanted to do was get caught. He'd have no explanation as to what or why he had been doing it. Telling Levi that he was worried over his health would only irritate the man even more. He swallowed nervously at the thought of what might happen to him if Levi found out. He'd definitely have to be careful.
Levi rounded the corner, starring at the horses. He gave a small shake of his head. If he took a horse with him then the others would know for sure he was gone. At least for now he'd have some time before the others began to question. So he turned and started heading out on foot.
He stretched his hands above his head in attempt to ease the aches in his back. It didn't seem to help any. Just what was going on with him?
" Talk about a shitty state to be in." He grumbled to himself, not noticing just how far he was going. He glanced down at his hands and clenched them together. Everything seemed to be working okay. There wasn't any pain his his walk, his muscles worked as they should have. Was it possible he got wounded without realizing it and it had grown infected? No. He couldn't have missed a wound. He stopped for a moment and glanced down at his legs. He hadn't seen any open cuts or scratches earlier. Perhaps a bruise or two but that was about it. This was ridiculous. Whatever was wrong with him needed to be fixed. He couldn't afford to keep feeling like this.
Eren furred his brows in confusion as he hid himself behind a tree. He turned his head and glanced back, the building slowly dwindling away behind the trees. It wasn't safe to be out this far. Take it he knew that Levi could take care of himself should something arise but still, it just didn't seem right to be out here. Something in his stomach made his nerves bundle together. Something wasn't right.
Perhaps he was just overthinking things. Levi was fine, just having a bad day is all. It was normal for people to have those. He just needed to calm down and relax. He just needed to turn around and head back before Levi found him and destroyed him completely.
So Eren turned and began to make his way back. If he hurried then no one would notice he was gone and none would utter a word to their corporal. Yet each step made him feel worse and worse. It didn't feel right to Levi out this far alone in the condition he was in. It was clear he wasn't feeling well and wasn't at his strongest. What if a titan appeared? Would he be able to fight it off as easily as he normally did?
Eren froze. The ground rumbling under his feet made his heart stop. It couldn't be possible-
Then he heard it. Immediately he turned and raced back as fast as his feet allowed him, praying the entire time that Levi could hold off long enough for him to get there to help.
