(I don't own Attack on Titan, tyvm. ouo)
A certain previously-green-eyed boy opened silver orbs, finding that he couldn't quite make out any details of anything. He rubbed the blurry-ness from his eyes, blinking them tiredly. Eren ached everywhere. He even hurt really bad in a few places.
All in all, Eren felt like crap, and didn't feel like moving. He moaned a little when he tried to reposition himself, only causing a world of pain for him.
"Oi, brat." A familiar tone from an even more familiar voice, though the two weren't supposed to be together. "I know you're awake."
"Ugh. I feel like... Like..." Eren trailed off as he grimaced, trying to find the right words to describe his situation.
"Like you've been smacked out of the air like a f*cking rag doll by a titan who was out to eat you?" Levi inquired, raising an eyebrow at the other male.
"Ugh. Are you serious?" He sat up as much as he could without hurting himself to the extreme, lifting a hand weakly to rub at a spot on his head that hurt more than others. He'd forgotten what had happened the day before, but it made plenty of sense. That is, seeing how much pain he was in.
"You're a moron." Levi stated flatly. Eren blinked at him.
Eren sighed, crossing his arms as he tried to recall what had happened. Once he finally gathered himself, his eyes snapped open. "You.. The titan... I.." Eren stumbled over his words in a rush.
"Yeah, I controlled your titan form." Levi deadpanned. "It wasn't as hard as you make it seem, maybe you're not trying enough." That was a lie. It wasn't easy for Levi, but he had one goal in mind, therefore, he stuck to it.
In the end, he reached his goal.
He would never tell Eren, not on his life.
Eren gave an exasperated groan. "You stop that, it makes me feel much more worthless than I really am."
"Giving your current condition, you're nearly less than worthless." At this, Eren winced a little. Levi's tone was bitter.
"Yeah, yeah. I screwed up, didn't I?"
"You nearly killed yourself. Then I would be stuck in your body forever." Levi didn't really mind that, but Eren probably didn't like the idea of staying as the Corporal.
It was quite a heavy burden, truly it was. (Reference, I think so.)
Levi never complained though.
"But I didn't die, that's a good thing."
"Had I not stuck to last resort, you would have been."
"But I'm not."
"You almost did."
"But I didn't, Levi. I'm okay."
"Brat, you have to be more careful." It took Levi everything he had not to raise his voice at Eren's arguing antics. "You were being stupid and weren't paying attention."
"Levi, no one would have seen that titan from behind! He just.. came out of nowhere!"
"It was there even before you had jumped."
"It wasn't turned my way!"
"Yet it happened to smack you out of the air like a fly. Real smooth, dumb $$." Levi countered, causing Eren's face to look a little downcast.
"Was I at least a little useful?" Eren asked, though, in a whisper.
Levi stared at the other. He really couldn't lie about this one. "You were, for once, very useful."
Eren's silver eyes lit up, so much that Levi had to cover his eyes from the brightness. "Thank you, Lev- Ow!"
"You idiot, don't push yourself." Levi gave a harsh glare to the other. "Anyway, Hanji may have come up with something to switch us back. Though, I don't trust her with anything she does, so I'll wait until something is confirmed by Erwin."
Eren, still slightly smiling (ALLITERATIONOOOO/Shot) nodded at the other. "Alright, and you're right on this one. Hanji can be scary sometimes."
Levi snorted at his comment. "Sometimes? That woman is abnormal."
Eren giggled, but cleared his throat, a light blush dusting his cheeks. "Ahem. By the way, you really didn't do bad at shifting into a titan. What was your main goal to do that caused you to turn?" Eren questioned the other, who slightly stiffened. This didn't go unnoticed by him.
"... That's for me to know, brat." He ruffled the other's hair, but was technically ruffling his own hair. Weird.
Eren paused a little, then smirked. He then wiped his face of all expression, causing it to be near the state of apathy save for a little glare before replying, "Tch."
Levi narrowed his eyes at Eren's-impeccable, I might say-impression of him. He poked Eren's forehead harshly, causing the other's face to contort into an expression of confusion and slight pain. "Don't do that."
"Why not?" Eren pouted.
"Because that's my thing." Levi responded, finding his pout a little cute, (because Eren has Levi's face OF COURSE) and letting a ghost of a smile cross his lips.
"Alright, alright." Eren threw his hands up, admitting defeat with a smile on his lips.
"Great, now I have to go do paperwork, since you don't have half a brain to do anything."
Eren merely laughed at the other's bluntness. "Okay, have fun." To that, he received a smack upside his head.
"Bye Levi."
Levi walked to the door, stopping to turn to face the other. "Oh, by the way, Eren."
"Yeah?"
"If you ever come close to dying like that again, I will not hesitate to rip your nose off of your face when we switch back and throw it to a titan."
"It will just grow back." He shrugged.
"I will end you." He threw back with a glare.
"Right." Eren shivered. "Why does it matter, though?" He immediately regret asking this as he receives a killer glare in response. "N-nevermind, see you later, Levi."
Levi stared at the other a little longer, before exiting without another word. Once he shut the door, he mumbled to himself, "Because you're too important to me to lose."
Eren could have sworn he heard someone say something, but brushed it off.
(Oh.)
