Routine was something Levi had grown used to. Wake up, drink your coffee, go to work, wait in awe, leave when the work day is over, get home, sleep. Repeat.

He had gone through the same steps every day for 2 years now and he had already grown tired of it. He worked as a waiter at a coffee shop in a relatively small city. Small business, not many clients, kept clean by the owner and his good friend, Erwin. Levi's small statue and mostly good looks helped him in his branch. Tips were better so he didn't hesitate when Erwin had offered to hire him. For him it was the only opportunity to gain money.

Point was, Levi had grown terribly used to the same schedule and same people, same faces, same routine. Again and again. He always left work at 2 pm no matter what and even though others had their working hours always changed, he'd always start work at 7 am and end his shift at 2 pm, every day, Wednesday off. He always took the subway. Not owing a car was annoying but he'd grown used to it.

Needless to say, Friday that week was no difference. He left work at 2 pm and left the rest of the clients to his colleague, Hange.

"Well aren't you in a hurry today?" The woman teased him. He himself had to admit he felt slightly impatient to get away from the work place.

"Yes, in a hurry to get away from you, shitty glasses." Levi replied sassy as ever. The woman knew better than to feel offended or ask for an apology. Levi was just a born asshole and things weren't going to change any time soon.

Levi waved Hange off as she waved at him when he left and made his way to the subway station 1 street way from his work place. He really was feeling impatient without knowing why. He made his way through the filthy corridors of the station and arrived at his usual waiting place.

It was at this point he felt the thick air around him. The unsettling feeling he had before only intensified. There wasn't much out of the ordinary. Just the usual filthy hobos waiting with empty looks in their eyes, woman with children, children with children, mid- class workers going home after a tiring day, a few familiar face he would see now and then. At first nothing worth his concern really. He had almost convinced himself he was just having a rough day when he turned his head around again at the sound of the nearing subway.

In front of the platform there was a young man, roughly in his 20s. He seemed very detached. Levi couldn't quite place his finger on it, it was as if the brunette haired man reminded him of himself. Only that could really explain the detached pattern of his feet stumbling around and the way he'd mindlessly play with his zipper while waiting. But there was more. He seemed restless as if wanting something. Was the subway ride that important, was he that desperate to catch it? Without even noticing it Levi found himself following the boy as he started moving, as the sound of the subway grew louder.

It all happened in a matter of seconds. Right before the subway making it into the station the young brunette started running towards the tracks, Levi followed at the same speed. Soon enough the boy had jumped onto the tracks and somehow landed face upwards so that Levi could see him now. For just a second he felt time stopping for him to watch the boy's face and look him in the eye before falling on top of him over the train tracks. What he saw there were mixed feelings of hatred against himself and the world that Levi could relate to so much it hurt. It hurt to see the sadness in there and the feeling the boy had given up on everything, deciding to take his own life. It was fear and anger at the same time. It actually hurt Levi deeply and made him want to save the boy so bad. So that's what he decided he'd do. He'd save this boy.

After both of them hitting the ground Levi had but a few seconds to get them out of the way of the subway before it arriving into the station and ending both or their lives. He pulled himself up and grabbed the boy that had now closed his eyes shut by his waist and quickly pulled the both of them out of the way just as the huge vehicle was reaching its destination, driving with miles per hour right passed the panting boys(okay Levi was the only one panting because of the emotional stress he had just put himself through for a complete stranger) who had just fallen to the ground with no grace.

Levi hadn't felt this tired or stressed in years and he felt guilty to admit it but it felt somewhat exiting. It felt like something new. The adrenalin soon went away as Levi was left as a tired mess.

"I'm clearly getting out of shape" he said while the huge vehicle was now coming to a halt next to them.
Only now, out of harm's way did he realize how close he was to the boy. His head was resting on Levi's chest as Levi was still holding his arm's around the younger's waist. The boy was clearly taller than Levi, in a slightly annoying way reminding Levi of his short statues even in situations as intense as this.

After a while of silence the boy broke the silence

"Why didn't you just let me die?" the resigned tone in his voice was really getting to Levi. He knew what it felt like, to feel like taking your own life was the only escape left.

Levi didn't answer immediately but in the end he replied simply "Intuition…"

He then felt the boy nod on top of him as he let out a sigh and fell unconscious.
