Ashamed

Pairing: Eren/Levi

Summary: Eren walks through the town and the townspeople don't take very kindly to him.

Eren flinched slightly as another small rock hit his shoulder. He walked through the market way and tried to ignore the shouts full of disgust and anger. He had been pelted with rocks and angry cries of "Monster!" since he had began the walk to the inner wall.

He felt ashamed. He had thought he was doing humanity a favor by taking out Annie. Eren felt a small blush of embarrassment rush to his cheeks as he thought to himself. 'They don't care about you. After all, you're just one of those filthy monsters you want to kill. They probably wish I would start by killing myself...' Eren thought as he walked and he hung his head, allowing himself to be pelted with rocks and insults.

Levi glanced back and watched as Eren walked with his head down. He saw a small pebble smash into Eren's spine and the boy completely ignored it.

Levi slowed slightly and allowed himself to fall into place next to Eren. Levi looked over at Eren and wrapped an arm easily around his shoulder. Eren lifted his head and looked over at Levi, and allows a small smile to grace his lips.

Then a rock hit Levi in the back.

Everyone grew eerily silent as Levi stopped in his tracks. The captain picked the rock up from the ground and turned to the people lining the street.

"Is this really how you treat someone who has sacrificed his own humanity to save yours? Pathetic." Levi said in a monotone before continuing down the street with Eren.

The townspeople stopped after that, as nobody wanted to get on the bad side of Humanity's Strongest.

Eren leaned his head against Levi's shoulder and mutters something softly. A small smile fights it's way onto Levi's face at the faint "Thank you."
