Blood, it was everywhere. Steam rose from some of it, but not all. It reached from high atop the trees of the Forrest and far below earth's surface. The boy standing in the middle of it all looked around at the bodies that lay before him, his heartbeat fast and unable to calm down as he tried to catch his breath. Panic started to set in when his eyes landed two of the corpses. There was three of them, but only two seemed to dead.
Slosh slosh...
Footsteps could be heard splashing in the pools of blood. He looked around frantically, searching for the last person. Fear surged throughout his body making him almost reckless in his search. A voice boomed in the silence, anger and shock apparent with small traces of hurt.
"Eren, what have you done?" Eren froze at the mention of his name.
"H-Heichou?" His voice was barely above a whisper.
"Answer me cadet; what the fuck have you done?" Eren backed up ever-so-slightly realizing the harsh truth of it all.
"I-I'm sorry captain L-Levi." There wasn't a third body to be found... There wasn't even a third person to go after. It was him all along. He lost control during battle and demolished the last of the titans... along with his friends and the rest of the Scouting Legion.
"There are no more sorry's Jaeger. This is the second time you've lost control and look what it did. Do you realize what has to be done now correct?" Levi drew his blades and cornered the titan-shifter. Eren swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat and nodded, tears staining his cheeks. "I didn't want to have to do this, but you've left me choice." He turned around and the blades connected with his-
"!" The boy gasped and shot out of his bed nearly took out the person standing above him.
"Argh what the hell Eren?! You almost hit me just now." His older sister complained backing away from the boy.
"Don't 'what the hell' me; your dumb ass was the one standing close to me watching me sleep or some weird shit. Now what the hell do you want Summer?" He growled at the girl.
"Mom told me to come wake you up for school. If you don't hurry you'll be late. You have approximately 10 minutes before Mikasa, Armin, and myself leave without you." And with that she exited his room.
"Fuck." The brunette scurried to get his clothes on and rushed down stairs to meet up with his friends before they took off. "Sorry guys." Eren nearly tumbled down the stairs calling out to them. Mikasa, their adoptive sister, sighed and put on her messenger bag while Armin, the blonde neighbor boy, giggled.
"I see you're finally up." His mother smiled handing him his backpack.
"Yeah yeah. Let's just go guys. Bye mom." Eren took his bag and exited their home along with his friend and siblings. Once out the door, they got into Summer's car, Mikasa in the passenger and Eren and Armin in the back. The drive to the school wasn't all that long, but could be depending on the traffic. However today they were in luck. There was barely any traffic this morning and made it to the school with a few minutes to spare.
"Hey Eren, I heard we got a new student. Transferred all the way from MP High. Wonder what a kid like him is doing all the way down here at SL high school." Armin pointed out.
"Isn't he in the same class as Summer?" Mikasa added, teasing the poor boy. You see, Eren was gay and the three around him knew it.
"He is. Maybe I should go talk to him. You should come along dearest brother; he seems pretty cute." Summer poked his nose and headed in the direction the new student was in.
"W-wait! Guys this isn't cool." Eren blushed looking in his direction.
"C'mon Eren let's go be friendly before four eyes and Erwin steal him. He looks so lonely, does he not?" Summer grabbed his wrist and started dragging him before he had the chance to respond.
"Good luck!" Armin called out to him before following Mikasa to their first class.
The brunette boy's face turned a shade darker as they neared their target. Slamming his locker, the new student turned only to be greeted by a smiling chocolate haired girl about his height and a tomato faced brunette boy that was taller than him. His face hardened at the sight of Eren.
"What do you want?" He had a deep, smooth voice.
"We just wanted greet you and welcome you to our school. I'm Summer and this is my younger brother Eren." The girl cursed herself for sounding so syrupy sweet. Said boy just stood there blushing still, unsure of what to do.
"Name's Levi." Levi rolled his eyes.
"Sorry for being so abrupt; I just wanted to spare you from-"
"LLLLEEEEEVVVVIIIII!" A brown haired woman came running towards the group and groomed the poor man. "It's been FOREVER since we last talked! HowwasMPhighwhatwasitlikewhodidyoumeet-"
"-From my friend Hanji here. Sorry about that. I take it you know her already?" Summer cut her off and covered her mouth.
"Shitty four eyes. Sadly yes." His expression stayed the same.
"Well it was nice meeting you. The bell's about to ring so we're gonna get going. C'mon Eren." Said boy was entranced by Levi and barely caught on to what was said. He took one last glance at the two left behind and was left to think about this strange morning for the rest of the day.
