Erens head hit the pavement. His eyes rolled back as his body spasmed uncontrolably.
"EREN!" Armin screamed, dropping to his knees to and lifting Erens head onto his lap. "Eren, hold on!" He was panicing, he felt Erens face and flinched back as he realize he was burning hot. Armin was crying, what was wrong with his friend. He was afraid and he didn't have the strength to carry him to the medical room. Erens body was still viciously jerking, he had blood dripping from his mouth. "Oh god... Eren... please be okay. Eren!"

Levi had been walking back to his room after dinner, Hanji following him going on about some experiment but he had tuned her out long ago. He had other buisness to attend to, he had ordered that damned brat Eren to his room after dinner.

As much as he was a damned brat, Levi was fond of the boys company, although he would never admit that to anyone. He gave him the excuse of needing to talk to him about a battle plan, since he was usually the main battle tactic as well. Eren had eagerly agreed, happy with the fact that heichou had wanted his opinion.

He liked that about Eren, that he was so upbeat and eager to help. He liked the kids spark. Thinking about it now he even dared to say he liked the boy more than he thought. The day had quickly went by and they had both gone to eat dinner in the mess hall and Eren and Armin had left early. He had been watching the boy and there had seemed to be something off, but he just couldn't pin point it. He was almost to his room, ready to tell Hanji to leave when he heard someone screaming.

"Someone please! Help!" Sobbing came from around the corner with some mumbled words he couldn't make out. Armin? Levi was struck with worry as he ran around the corner to where they were. He saw Armin crumpled on the ground, with someones head in his lap but unable to make out who as Armin was leaned over the person, blocking his view.
"Armin. What's going on here?" Levi demanded walking closer as Hanji ran ahead of him and knelt beside Armin.

"Oh god! What happened to Eren!" Hanji cried, voice laced with worry. Levis eyes widened and his pace quickened. When he reached them what he saw before him was horrific. Eren was pale, way too pale. His hair was damp with sweat and there was blood spilling out of his mouth and eyes. There was deep scratch wounds all around his neck as if someone was trying to tear off his skin.

"What happened!" Levi said, this time loosing his composure as he swiftly picked up Eren gentley and started running down the hall to the medic room. Hanji and Armin ran after him but was stopped when he ran into Mikasa and was beginning to explain the situation, shortly after both of them running after Levi.

Levi burst through the doors, shocking some of the medics. He ran over to the bed and put Eren down on it taking the time to regain as much composure as he could. He called over some medics and ordered them to help. They began to work and Hanji ran in, running over to the side of the bed to help, giving people orders and taking over the situation. Levi had stepped back and held a very grim look on his face. Armin and Mikasa came in the room, Mikasa running over to her brother extremely worried about him. Armin paused and glanced at Levi, catching his eye. Levi walked over to the younger man.

"What happened to Eren" He asked coldly.
Armin had calmed down a bit since the incident and explained. "I-I'm not sure sir. Me and Eren were just walking back to our rooms when he collapsed. He started seizuring and bleeding from his eyes and mouth. I'm not strong, so i couldn't pick him up to get him to help" he started crying again. "I'm so sorry..I-I couldn't do anythi-" he choked off. Levi could see it was hard on the boy.
"It's alright, you did good Armin. Lets just hope Eren is okay." Armin nodded and dried his tears. Levi suddenly remembered.

"Why were there scratch wounds on his neck?"
Armin looked back at him and replied "When he stopped seizuring, he began viciously clawing at his neck and sobbing. I'm unsure why, but he was also extremely hot to the touch."
Levi nodded and dissmissed his soilder.

Armin walked over to Mikasa who was clutching to Erens hand and said something to her that Levi didn't catch as she reluctantly let go of Erens hand and they both left. Levi leaned against the counter and watched intensely at where Eren was being examined and prodded. Hanji came up to him suddenly with a grim look. Levis chest tightened as he didn't say anything, waiting for Hanji to speak.

"After examining Eren, I still can't figure out whats wrong. I've stabilized him, but he's still unconsious." Levis face was stern as he thought of what could have gone wrong.
"Um, Levi?" Hanji questioned. Realizing he hadn't responded to her he gave a curt nod and walked over to grab a chair, putting it beside Erens bed.

"I'll stay here and watch over the boy, you go get some rest." He didn't even glance at her.
"Okay. Call if anything happens." She replied as she walked out of the room hesitantly.
Levi stared at the boy. The blood had been cleaned off and the wounds on his neck bandaged while a cold cloth rested on his forehead. How did this happen? Everything was fine when I talked to the kid earlier today. What changed?

Levi kept going over the days events in his head, thinking what could have cause this. He couldn't come up with anything. He then began to wonder why he had reacted so strongly. He had seen many people injured or near death and yes it had been very upsetting and hard to deal with, but never to the point where he lost his cool like that.

He had built the walls around him high and strong, how could a brat like Eren cause him to loose face just like that. He instinctively reached over and grabbed Erens hand. Rubbing circles with his thumb on the boys palm. He stayed by his side all night.
