"Shit…" He moans as he watches his blood leak to the ground. "Coming up here was a mistake, I need to get out of here." He thought as he tries to stand on his own to feet. But failed and slipped on his own blood. He slumps his body against the wall he was leaning against and sighed.
"I can hear them, their coming for me. Shit!" He thought to himself, he closes his eyes and waited for something to grab him and yank him out of the area, but instead he felt a gently tug. He looks at the thing tugging him in surprise, it was an old man.
"Are you okay sir?" the old man asked, Levi smirked at his question.
"I am bleeding and can barely move, what do you think?" Levi asked as he tries to stand up. When he got to his feet he fell straight to the ground hard, he growls in pain. The old man just sighs and forcefully helps Levi to his feet.
"I'm fine." Levi growled.
"No your not, and the way you're struggling to get up, it's only a matter of times before those guards catch up to you." The old man said, Levi looks at him with widen eyes of shocked. He them sucks his teeth and lets the old man drag him to a dirty-shit looking house where the old man cleans and patches his wounds. Once done, Levi sighs and looks at the old man.
"Thanks, but I think I should head out." Levi says, he tries to get up, but falls down to his chair and moans in pain.
"I think you should spend the night here young man." The old man said. Levi looks at him and wonders what was this man deal, why would he let him, a criminal, stay at his house.
"I'm a thief." Levi said.
"Well, I have nothing for you to steal." The old man said. "I dont even have money for food." He tells Levi, the young man looks down to his feet and sighs, he knows what that feels like.
"Grandpa!" A squacky voice shouted, Levi looks over his shoulder and saw a blonde child come walking into the dirty house with a smile on their face.
"Hello Armin!" The old man said.
"You have a bruised." Levi muttered, Armin touches their face and smile.
"Its nothing, who's this man?" Armin asked, Levi stared at the child, trying to figure out if this child was a boy or a girl.
"He's...an old friend of mine." The old man said.
"Oh, well hello there!" Armin shouted as the child puts their hand out to shake it. Levi shakes his Armin hand and smiles.
"Your adorable." Levi muttered, making Armin smile. "Are you a boy or a girl?" Levi asked, and like that, Armin smile disappeared quicker than it came.
"Figure it out…" Armin muttered under their breathe. The five year old said, Levi couldn't help but to smirk at the child comment. Armin grandfather looks at them and said:
"Armin a-RRRRRR" Armin stomach growled, cutting the old man off, and also made Levi stare in shocked, when he was hungry his stomach never growled that loudly, and he lost 20 pounds for not eating much.
"Are you hungry?" Levi asked.
"Yea…" Armin muttered as the young child holds their stomach. Levi smiles and touches his wound. He then stands up on his feets and smiles at the young boy, he walks over to a sack off the table near him. "Why don't we get you something to eat." Levi said, Armin follows the young man outside of the house and made their way to the food market where everyone was just closing their shops. A perfect time to sneak some food. In a flash Levi walks past three stands and stole fruit, bread and meats. He then hands it to Armin. The young child smiles at the large amounts of food given to it.
"FOOD!" Armin shouted as they munch on bread and cheese Levi just stole for Armin.
"I have to go, tell your father I owe him one." Levi said before walking away from Armin, the young boy watches the young man leave his sight. If only he knew that wasn't the last time he would be seeing it.
