He looked like a corpse. Blood covered his pale body. Small trails of steam rose around him as the last traces of a titan corpse evaporated. Several fallen soldiers were scattered around the area, many in pieces. Large chuncks of stone and wood littered the ground. A smaller stone lay innocently next to his skull. Blood slowly leaked from the wound it had inflicted. And like a true member of the Survey Corps, he had a pair of broken blades grasped in his bloody hands.
Eren felt like someone had punched him in the stomach. He landed clumsily next to his fallen commander. Now that he was closer he could see the large bite mark on the side of his leg and the deep gash in his side. The crimson liquid lazily leaking from his body was a stark contrast to his white skin.
"Captain," Eren breathed. He dropped to his knees, not caring that his white pants were being stained by the still warm blood. "Captain are you okay?"
When the man didn't respond Eren leaned over and pressed his ear to his commander's bloody chest. The warm liquid stuck to the side of his face. His eyes slid closed and he tried to block out the sounds of battle around him. He held his breath and pressed a hand to his free ear. His eyes stung when he realised that it did little to help.
He released a shaky breath. A titan's distant roar reached his ears. His fingers dug into Levi's bloody shirt. He couldn't stop the quiet sob from slipping past his lips. His shoulders trembled and he closed his eyes in an attempt to stop the tears from spilling over.
"Please," he begged. "Please don't be dead. Please Captain."
He felt hot tears trail down his face. Another quiet sob escaped him. He buried his nose into the bloody fabric of his commander's shirt. He couldn't hear the horrors going on around him anymore. All he could hear was the silence. And it was deafening.
"You're heavy."
Eren sat up sharply, fresh tears burning his cheeks. His teal eyes connected with a pair of steel grey. He felt another sob escape him, though it sounded more like a laugh.
"Hey brat."
AN: This will be 50 one-shots of Eren crying. Why? Because I can. But seriously, he cries a lot. It makes sense though. His life is hell. I feel bad for him.
