Hey guys! Sorry about the slightly later upload. Actual plot progression happens and other stuff I guess... Enjoy.
Eren:
Slumping down against the wall, I stared out through the cells barred wall and into the corridor. Hopefully the sun would stick around a little longer, its soft orange was barely visible through the window. Though I could definitely do with some sleep, I probably have bags under my eyes that rival Levi's. The cell certainly felt less empty now, the bed to my left was habitable and now the fact it took up most of the room no longer seemed domineering. The cabinet to my right now no longer stood empty, although I wouldn't count on it to hold my weight. I was pulled back to the reality as I heard the not so distant sound of the wooden door that was miraculously still standing, and led into this block of cells. As the clack of boots on the stones came closer it was accompanied by the soft glow of a candle. Levi? Sure enough the pinprick of light was held aloft by the one and only.
"That floor doesn't look comfortable from up here."
"I think you'd be surprised, and besides from here you almost look tall" I was surprised a person so obsessed with cleaning could give a look that dirty. And with that he pulled open the barred door and finally stepped inside my cell. Well I'd certainly put enough energy into cleaning it, I doubt I would last five minutes on my feet. Heading over Levi placed the lit candle down on the cabinet briefly while he took some unlit candle sticks from under his arm. Finally I pushed myself to my feet, just as we started to need the candles. Its glow casting parts of the room into shadow. Despite placing the candles on the table I could still see something under Levi's arm, a book? Before I could ask he'd started to walk back into the slightly more spacious bit of the cell, near the end of my bed, well I'd barely call it a bed, it was still attached to the wall with a think chain. What kind of prisoners were they expecting? Either way I'd be spending a few nights here, speaking of which…
"Hey Levi, where will you be sleeping?"
Levi:
I mean it was a perfectly valid question, I had forgotten how little Eren knew about me outside of battle.
"I won't be."
His brow furrowed at this, he really didn't know. He moved forward, his body becoming clearer as he neared the candle light. His eyes still stood out, bright with inquisition, even in the half light.
"Eren, I have insomnia, believe me I won't be sleeping much anytime soon."
It seemed hollow in the atmosphere of the room, harsh words in the soft light. The same light that glowed from my hand, the same light that outlined Eren's soft face and angular features, the same light that had him stood ridiculously close to me, even in this small cell. So close that our bodies would collide if I took a half step forward.
Eren:
Levi had insomnia? I mean it fitted like a final jigsaw piece, the tired eyes, how he was always one of the people on night watch and how he could go days without sleep like it was the norm. It is for him. His pale skin looked even more inhuman in the strange glow that surrounded us. His eyes caught in the naked flame glinting like silver with all the hardness of steel, his hair sunk into the darkness, matching the enclosing darkness to a T. The onset of night caused my body to finally catch up. I had been right, I had barely lasted five minutes. My hand reached up to stifle my yawn, causing Levi to break away from whatever thoughts he was having.
"You need to get to bed brat, you don't need sleeping pattern like mine."
I hummed in response as I searched through my small pile of clothes until I found my worn out clothes that now served as my pyjamas.
"Eren I'm going to fetch a chair, I doubt the ones left here could take any weight without breaking. This time I shouldn't be gone for more than ten minutes."
"You sure about that?"
"I might just take the candle with me for that."
"Hey!"
He set it down on the edge of the cabinet with a smirk before setting off out the cell, leaving me to get changed.
