Ereri: Apocalypse

Enjoy! : )

"I CAN'T KILL YOU. I JUST CAN'T!"

He screamed at me. I didn't blame him, he loved me anyway.

"Eren, you have to."

"Levi please don't make me! I can't do this to you."

A tear fell down his cheek. It was the first time I'd ever seen him cry. In the three years we'd been running away together he'd never shed a tear at anything. Even when Mikasa and Armin killed themselves, unwilling to live in this cruel world. When Hanji had been bitten he'd stayed strong, hugged her goodbye and pushed her off the boat. When Connie and Sasha had been swarmed by those, those creatures, and shared their last kiss together, Eren had shouted at them to run, but had just been angry afterwards. Levi never cried. He must've really loved me.

"Look, Erwin bit me! You couldn't shoot him so I did! He bit me, OK? I sacrificed myself for you! Jean and Marco and Petra are waiting. Just kill me and go escape this place and be free!"

"I. Won't. DO IT!"

He was acting like a child who wouldn't give up his toy. I could see the pain in his eyes as he refused to lift up the gun. Most of the people we loved were dead, save three who had managed to abandon their emotions and mercilessly kill anything that got in their way. I stood up, feeling the blood start to seep out from the bite in my arm.

"Look at me, please."

"Don't try and force me to kill you, because I won't!"

Eren's face was a mixture of rage and despair. I could almost see the images flashing through his mind. The horrible moment when he'd seen his mother die, the blood spattered across the streets of what was once his home.

"Eren, you have to listen to me! I promise I'm the last one who has to die. Their nuking the place, just get out and evacuate with the survivors. They're taking everyone to America. You'll be safe there. You can start a new life."

"But my life's gone. My sister and best friend are dead. Everyone who stayed with us is gone. I only have you! Petra and Marco and Jean… I barely know them! I've known you for years…"

"And look where it ends! In the place that it started, our school. Remember all of the fun times? Remember when Mikasa beat up that kid who was annoying you? What was his name, Aluo? A-and when Sasha ate everyone's food on a dare! That was fun, wasn't it?"

Eren giggled lightly and wiped away a tear, "Yeah, that was quite fun…" I saw the gorgeous smile I loved return to his face

"There it is! My Eren Jaeger…"

I felt my eyes burn with tears, and my head started to hurt.

"I can feel it now. Eren, I'm sorry, but you have to do this."

"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT!?" He screamed at me. The sheer sound of his voice made me back off. I hit the wall, I slid down and onto the floor.

"You think I want this, Jaeger?" I said to him, starting to cry.

"We were going to escape, together! We were going to finally be free and put all of this behind us! I want to spend my life with you, but it really doesn't look like that's going to happen!" the tears were streaming down my face now, I could feel my vision going blurry "Look, in less than five minutes I will be a flesh eating zombie! I will try to kill you and you need to kill me first. You deserve to live. I did a stupid thing and deserve to die…"

His face crumpled and he dropped the gun. A fountain of tears fell from his eyes. "No, no NO! I can't let this happen!" He sobbed. "I love you, Levi, too much to let this happen to you!"

I used my last scrap of energy to haul myself up, grabbing the gun as I went.

"This is for the good of humanity, Eren. I'm dangerous now."

He finally took the gun from me. I moved against the wall and watched him lift it. "I will always love you. And I'm so, so sorry for what I'm about to do."

"I know, and I'll see you again at some point, don't you worry, Eren!"

"You'll see me sooner than you think, Levi…"

"Wait, Wh-"

The sound of gunshot cut me off as I felt a searing pain shoot through me, I had just enough life left to see him lift the gun to his own head.

"NO!" I shouted with my last breath. Another shot rang through the air. Eren fell down next to my body. I had just enough life left to see Petra, Jean and Marco run into the room and see our bodies. Then it switched to black.
