(Levi's POV)

"Oi brat, will you hurry up." We have been walking for almost an hour now and we haven't made it back to the house I have been staying in. I was able to convince him that it would be better if we went back and spent the night there.

"I'm walking as fast as I can. These bags are really heavy."

"Why did you have to take two bags then?"

"Well I got one for you; as a thank you gift for saving me before." What? One of those bags was for me? I started to feel a little grateful, but it went away quickly.

"Then why don't you let me carry that bag so we can get back sooner." I slowed down a little bit so I could be next to Eren and took one of the bags he was carrying. "Thanks brat."

"You're welcome shorty." Just when I started liking this boy.

"What the fuck did you just call me?" I looked him dead in the eyes with an intimidating glare.

"Well I decided that if you are going to keep calling me brat I am going to call you shorty."

"Brat, I call you that because you are one."

"And I will call you shorty because you are short and you refuse to call me by my name." That earned him a playful punch from me, it was harder than a normal playful punch though because he was really getting on my nerves, but it was impossible for me to really hit him. I needed to be on his good side; or at least not his bad side, to get him to agree to let me go with him after all. No way was I going to spend one more day in that house if I didn't have to, and if I just left I wouldn't really have anywhere to go so I would just be aimlessly walking around by myself.

We made it back to house soon after that encounter, thankfully there were no zombies that interrupted our walk. I made sure that all of the doors had been closed while we were gone so no zombies could have made it inside. Once all of the doors were closed and locked I finally put down my gun and machete.

"Hey Eren, what did you put in this bag anyways?" I said while I was walking into the living room where Eren had been sitting on the couch while I was checking the doors. When I turned the corner I saw Eren pathetically trying to eat something out of a can. "fucking disgusting." I mumbled as I turned around to go to the kitchen to grab a spoon for him. When I returned to the living room I threw the spoon at him and almost hit him in the face. I took a seat in my chair.

"Oh, thanks for the spoon."

"You're welcome. So what did you put in those bags Eren?" His face lit up for no reason when I said that. What could have gotten him so excited?

"Levi! You finally called me by my name! I'm so proud of you!"

"And it won't happen again if you keep up that act, so just tell me what you put in the bags." Why am I putting up with this? Because being in solitude for too long can drive you insane, but I think spending too long with this kid will drive me insane as well. He laughed before he responded to me.

"Okay, sorry. I just put some regular supplies in it. Mainly food and water, along with some bandages and pills."

"How about peroxide? or any other kind of disinfectants?"

"Well, no. I didn't really think about that." I shook my head and got up so I could go to the bathroom that was on the second floor. That room had all of the medicine in it, along with a few other various items that were in there when I found this place. This house has two bedrooms and a room that looks like its own library. One bedroom had a king sized bed, the walls were a off green color that I hated and everything in the room had to match it. The other was painted pink and had a twin sized bed in it. Eren can choose between the couch and that bedroom because I sleep in the king sized bed. It's disturbing when I think about the family that used to live here, I threw out all of their pictures when I decided to stay here. I shouldn't think of that now though; I will be leaving this house with Eren tomorrow. I don't even know if he would be okay with the idea of me going with him, but I plan on going anyway. I turned into the bathroom and opened a cupboard, it didn't take me long to find what I was looking for and I turned around.

"Hey, Levi?" Eren was standing in the doorway. I almost fell backwards in surprise; I didn't hear him come up the stairs.

"What is it?"

"I was just checking if you needed any help because you were taking a while." In response I showed him the bottle of peroxide. "Okay." With that he turned around to go back down the stairs and I followed him.

"Anyways brat, where are we going to be going tomorrow?" We both had just gotten back to our seats when that thought occurred to me. We don't have a plan for tomorrow.

"We?... oh. oh! So you plan on going with me?"

"Yah."

"Oh, that's awesome! I would have hated to walk that far all by myself anyways. I don't have a plan though."

"Well let's plan it out then. Could you get out the map?" Eren brought out the map and opened it up on the floor. "Okay, so we should try to avoid bigger cities if possible. Where are we supposed to be going?"

"Well my friends and I were planning on going to Red Rock, British Columbia, so that is where we are going to be heading."

"Okay, I think from here we should head to Echo Bay. What do you think?" I feel like that would be the best idea for us to go to, we will be able to avoid places where there used to be high populations and it isn't that far from here.

"That's fine, I don't really care how we get there as long as we get there." Eren smiled at me while he was saying that. I got a weird feeling while he was looking at me; I couldn't really tell if it was a bad feeling or a good feeling, but it made my heart flutter.

"Well we have the plan for tomorrow and I don't think we should get to ahead of ourselves in case it doesn't go to plan."

"Levi, did you eat anything today? I didn't see you eat anything, so if you want I could grab something from my bag."

"Don't worry about it, I have some stuff in the kitchen that I should probably eat up before we leave. If you're still hungry you can make some for yourself as well." With that the brat shot up and started heading toward the kitchen. He almost turned into the bathroom but noticed his mistake quickly.

"What do you have here?" He turned around to look at me.

"Well, lets see." I started looking through the cabinets, there were some cans of soup and beans. Finally I found what I was looking for; the peanut butter and bread. The bread won't last much longer; if it's still good, so we should eat it before it becomes inedible. I made myself some sandwiches and let Eren make his own. He used up the last of the peanut butter on one sandwich, and it was still about a quarter of the way full when I was done with it. "Eren, if you make a mess you are going to clean it up." He attempted to talk after he took a bite of it but he wasn't able to get more than just a nod of acceptance and some weird noises from his mouth. I just rolled my eyes and turned to go back to the living room; checking to make sure the front door was locked on the way.

(Eren's POV)

Not long after Levi and I had finished the peanut butter sandwiches we went to sleep. I decided to sleep on the couch; there is no way I could sleep in a bed that was someone else's not too long ago. I'm really happy Levi is going to be going with me, I didn't expect him to want to go, but he was the one who brought it up and seemed like he really wanted to go. Also having him with me might be a good idea because he helped me out a lot today and I still need to learn how to shoot the gun I have.

A few hours later; or at least it felt like a few hours later, I was woken up by something. I don't know what woke me up until I started hearing the moaning, there's a zombie right outside. I sit up and look around checking to make sure there is nothing inside. After being confident that there was nothing inside I go to look out the window, but before I could move the curtain from the window I saw a shadow pass by the window. With that I went from scared to terrified. Before I could think of what I was doing I was already up the stairs.

"Levi." I whispered because I couldn't manage more than that; It didn't wake him up however. Maybe I could just get in the bed next to him without waking him up. Damn, I feel like a little kid doing this, but I can't be by myself. Not when there is a zombie outside that would eat me if it found a way inside! "Levi, Please." I started poking him. I feel like I am going to regret this.

"Uhg, what is it brat?"

"U-um, I saw a zombie right outside. I-I was wondering if maybe I could sleep next to you…"

"Are you serious? How old are you?"

"I'm nineteen. Levi, please. You don't even take up half of this bed!" I lowered my head, this is embarrassing.

"Whatever brat, just stay on the other side of the bed and let me sleep."
