"Eren."

Hearing his name, a boy with brown hair turned to where his name had been called.

"I need you to bring these to Levi." A tall man with blonde hair and thick eyebrows said, handing a fresh pair of clean clothes to the younger male. "He's taking a shower. All you need to do is bring them to him and then leave."

"Seems pretty simple." Eren muttered, taking the clothes and looking at them. "He's in his bathroom right?"

Levi, being the captain, had his own room with his own shower. He also had his own room and bathroom because he refused to even share any kind of living space with anyone.

The boy walked to Levi's room and knocked on the door before opening the door to the room. He walked in and saw a bunch of things on the floor, and the curtains were closed like Levi didn't want sunlight coming in.

"Heichou?" Eren closed the door and looked around some more. "I brought you some clothes."

He didn't hear the older male respond. All he heard was the shower running inside of the bathroom; Eren walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.

"Heichou?" He said, waiting for an answer.

"Just leave them by the door." Levi ordered. "I'll get them when I'm done."

"Ok." Eren nodded and sat the folded clothes by the door. He then walked over to Levi's desk and started looking at things. He noticed a drawer was open slightly, so he opened it more and looked inside. Eren's eyes widened when he saw several Wings of Freedom symbols that had been ripped off.

The bathroom door opened, and Levi walked out, picking up the clothes and then looking at Eren. "Why are you still here, Jaeger? And why are you touching my stuff?" He asked, clearly annoyed.

The older male had a black rope on and his hair was dripping wet. Eren closed the drawer quickly and walked away from the desk.

"Sorry Heichou." He apologized and smiled. "Your room is a mess."

"I can see that, Jaeger." Levi replied, glaring daggers at Eren.

Eren swallowed a lump in his throat and looked away. "I'll just get going." The younger male muttered, walking out of Levi's room and closing the door.

Levi sighed and got dressed in the clothes he was given. He sat in the chair at his desk and looked at the paper work he was given. 'Great. More work.'

He sighed once more and started on his work. By time he was done, it was late at night and the captain was drained from the events of today. They had just gotten back from an expedition, and lost more people. Sometimes Levi questioned whether he felt scared or was scared. He had a label. Sure, he liked being the strongest. But when he really thought about it, he wasn't able to be soft, or scared or anything like that. He was expected to be strong. Levi knew he wasn't as strong as he was on the inside as he was on the outside. During the day, he'd show his strong exterior. Whenever they had expedition, he'd have to show everyone that he was strong and lead his squad. If he ever broke down, and cried, everyone would lose hope; because you know you're fucked if the toughest guy in the Survey Corps is crying. So during the night, If Levi ever needed to just let it out, he could. Without anyone seeing. Tonight just happened to be one of those nights. He had lost more of his comrades.

"Ohh~ Levi!~" a voice called.

Soon a girl opened the door, she wore the craziest smile ever. "Guess what!"

"Leave me alone, shitty glasses." Levi ordered.

"Oh come on, Levi! Stop being like that all the time!" The girl pouted.

"Seriously, Hanji, I'm not in the mood tonight. I'm tired and I just want to sleep."

Hanji frowned and walked out of the room, slamming the door. Levi cringed at the sound of the slamming door. That's when it happened. Tears started streaming down the captain's face. He cried as quietly as he could, not wanting anyone to hear him. 'Why am I so fucked?'

Once he calmed down, he wiped his eyes and walked over to his bed, then laid down. Levi soon found himself drifting into sleep. He didn't resist it either.

"Hey Armin." Eren greeted, walking into the room that him and a few others shared.

"Hey Eren. Where were you at?" Armin asked, looking at his friend.

Armin was comfortably seated on his bed, reading a book and in his sleeping wear.

"Erwin had me bring something to Heichou." Eren replied, sitting on his bed that was next to Armin's.

"Like what?" The blonde asked.

"Just some clothes."

"Oh."

The two then sat in complete silence.

"Armin?" Eren asked.

"Yeah, Eren?"

"You...you did a great job during the expedition."

Armin looked over at Eren and smiled. "Thanks. It means a lot."

Eren smiled back and nodded. "You're welcome."

Soon enough, Jean and Connie walked in, talking about something irrelevant.

"Are you sure that's what you heard?" Connie asked. "I'm sure. It sounded like he was actually crying." Jean replied.

"Who was crying?" Armin asked, looking at the two.

"Heichou." The two answered, looking at Armin and Eren.

"Impossible. Heichou doesn't cry." Eren chuckled. "I don't even think he has tears."

"Well, I thought I heard sniffling when I passed by his room." Jean shrugged. "Can't expect humanity's strongest to be strong all the time."

Eren frowned and laid back in his bed. Why did the thought of Heichou crying...bother him? The man has always treated Eren terribly, yet he still cared about the cruel captain.

"I'm sure he's fine." Eren muttered, closing his eyes.

'He's fine.'

Levi was not fine. The older man woke up in the middle of the night and started crying once again. He dreamt about his old friends-no more like his family. Then his mother, and uncle and his squad. All of it came back to him

"Damn it.." he cursed, wiping his eyes furiously.
