Ch.1

(Hey guys! So now my second chapter is up. I hope you guys like it!)

"Just do it, Eren!"
Eren stared nervously into Levi's cold, blue eyes.
"But what if I hurt you? What if you die and it's my fault?"
"If you don't kill us, that titan will be happy to." Levi jutted a thumb toward the titan gaining on them. Eren knew that their horses couldn't outrun a fifteen foot titan. Soon enough, it would catch up.

"Come on Eren," everyone chanted.

Eren glanced for a second time at Levi. His eyes bore into Eren's

Eren heaved a determined sigh, sinking his teeth into his thumb, his warm blood filling his mouth with a horrible, stale taste.
After that, everything went black and Eren couldn't remember anything that happened next.

Everything hurt, his vision was blurry, and he couldn't remember a thing. Judging by the circumstances, however, he could only guess he had gone into titan form and had passed out when turning back into a human. Eren sat up, a sharp pain shooting throughout his body, causing him to recoil back on the ground. That's when he noticed a short, human-like silhouette nearing him.
The figure stooped down by his side and as the features began to show, Eren could tell it was Levi.
Levi put his arm around Eren's shoulder and pulled him into a sitting position.
Eren suddenly remembered the events of that day. "Did I kill her? That woman titan?" His words came out like a croak.
"No, you didn't. I thought you could, but I was wrong." Levi's cold eyes were staring into Eren's again. It made him feel uncomfortable, so he dropped his gaze to the ground, which was red with blood. His own blood.
"I'm sorry. I still can't control myself in titan form." With a shaky sigh, Eren tried to stand, but his legs were still weak, and he fell back down.

This time, Levi caught him.

Levi's arms grasped around Eren's shoulder made Eren's cheeks go red.

He scrambled out of Levi's arms.

"S-sorry!"

"You shouldn't be trying to stand right now," Levi said, ignoring Eren's apology.

Levi stretched an arm around around Eren's back and under his thighs. He stood up, cradling Eren like a mother would a child.

Eren's face had gone full red

"I d-don't need to be carried. I-I'm fine. Please put me down."

"Eren, you can't walk. Just shut your mouth."

Levi was surprisingly strong for his size, and made Eren seem very light.

As they walked back to their horses, Eren had managed to fall asleep in all of his exhaustion in Levi's arms, his head buried in the warmth of Levi's chest. Levi tried not to smile, but Eren's baby face forced the corners of his mouth to curl. And for Levi, that was very rare.
