its been a long day of Levi riding his ass about cleaning the same room over and over again and the rest of Levis team riding him about if he became a threat they would have no hesitation to kill him. he was sitting in his cell staring at the brick ceiling in boredom wondering about Levi.
The corporal was on his way to that room, walking down into the cool air of the basement. he had been in the stables making sure the horses had gone back into there proper places and that everyone's equipment was polishes and put away and of course he went back to his room for a quick washing before dinner. witch was the reason he was heading for Erin's room. didn't the brat want to eat?
"Hey Jaeger," Levi called knocking on the door before slowly opening it. you coming up to eat dinner? the rest of the team is already devouring it."
he gazed around the room with his usual bored stare, trying to find the other boys figure in the dim light. they didn't have very much food to begin with so if he wanted any he better get his ass moving.
Erin looked over as the door was opened and Levi stepped in. he wasn't too surprised to see the corporal there, the older man liked to do things for himself, instead of farming them out to his team. as Levi mentioned food Erin couldn't help but feel nauseous he was hungry but not wanting to face Levis team. they are good people but savage "rip your eyes out" killers and once Erin turned titan it fells like a bulls-eye painted on his back. there eyes always watching him.
Looking up at Levi he tried to control his apprehension and speak as normal as possible, "ill be up in a bit, you go on ahead." he never actually planned on leaving his prison/room, but Levi didn't need to know that.
Levi crossed his arms and leaning across the door frame, "look kid you might not want to wait. there's no guarantee there will be any food left by the time you get your ass up there." the corporal proceeded to knock his boots onto the floor for a moment, there was still dirt on them. "so if you want to go to bed hungry tonight i suggest you start moving."
It didn't look like Levi was gonna let him slide on this one, so as he dragged himself off the bed he was sitting on he tried to keep the dread from surfacing. he really didn't want to here about how he would be killed if he went haywire. then again he needed to eat. changing into a titan sapped out his energy considerably, and it wasn't as if there was much food to replenish his body with on the field.
As he walked up to his commander he noticed a splotch of dirt near his collarbone. how the corporal had missed it was anyone's guess, the man had a boot up his ass when it came to cleaning that it was almost comical. ether way Erin reached up to brush whatever it was away before walking out the door.
Levi almost immediately grabbed Erin's arms and slammed him against the wall pinning him there.
"Don't touch your commanding officer Jaeger."
He grunted out his words staring onto Erin's eyes. No natter how much he appreciated the help of being rid of the missed mud splotch, and being happy that Erin had gotten up he would not show his feelings for the boy just yet.
Erin had the chills whenever Levi touched him, even getting slammed into the wall he was bubbling with excitement. "l-Levi? c-can i tell you something?
"Hold that thought and let's go eat," the corporal began to walk down the hall, his hands held together behind his back.
Eren just rolled his eye when Levi turned around.
"You're welcome asshole," he thought, trying to ignore the thrill of pissing Levi off just that little bit.
Levi quietly got his own food and then sat at his usual head of the table. He ignored most of the commotion that the rest of his team was involved in, focusing rather on eating and keeping an eye on Eren. And after taking a few mouthfuls of his meal, he'd noticed that the other boy hadn't even begun to eat.
"Jaeger," The corporal placed his cup back on its saucer, "I thought I told you to eat something."
Eren looked at Levi for a minute before turning back to his food. He wasn't really hungry, but he knew that he should at least try to eat. As he picked up his fork the utensil started to shake in his hand and he couldn't seem to keep any food on the fork because he was shaking so badly. He wasn't sure if the shaking was because of anger or depression, but either way it was extremely hard to eat, and Eren really didn't' see the point at the moment. He looked at the corporal and knew that he wouldn't be let go if he didn't eat something, but the more he looked at his food, the more he felt like puking.
"What's the matter with you?" Levi asked, raising a brow and resting his chin on his hands.
His tone wasn't harsh, surprisingly, more curious if anything. He wasn't really sure what was up with Eren. Sure, he knew he clearly was having some kind of emotional problems at the moment, but what was with the shaking?
"Get a grip. Don't think I'm going to feed you." A few of the team members glanced over, interested by their leader's words.
"I'm sorry Corporal, I don't think I could eat even if I wanted to," Eren was actually very regretful that he couldn't' follow orders.
There was just too much emotional turmoil going on inside of his head for him to actually focus on something that was so pointless. He quickly stood up, wanting nothing more than to return to his room/prison and bury himself under blankets and pillows.
"I'm sorry Corporal, I have to go."
