Really short, but next chapter is in progress and will be fairly long. Sorry it took a while, but I wanted it to be just right, so I kept re-writing. Please enjoy!


Eren's POV

"It's wonderful!" I cried in delight as I ran across the loose grain called sand towards the vast pond which is the ocean. Levi was calmly walking behind me with a small smile on his face. I couldn't tell which was more breathtaking. The great big ocean, or, the rare gem that is Levi's smile.

"Ah! It's warm!" I said as the water rushed past my ankles. When the water started rushing back I jumped away and gasped.

"Don't tell me you're afraid of it." Levi said as he grabbed my hand in his.

"I thought it was going to suck me in." I mumbled, embarrassed.

"If that weird thing crawling side-ways isn't getting sucked in, I think you're fine." Levi chuckled. "Come on. We'll stand in it together."

We stood hand in hand in the weird receding water. After a while I got used to it and let go of Levi's hand to venture farther.

"Don't go too far out. Remember, we don't know what lives in these waters." Levi warned. "Eren. What are you doing?"

"Armin said that the water was salty. Salt is so rare back in the Walls, so I want to see if he was right." I said as I bent down and cupped some water into my hands.

"That's disgusting. You don't know what's in this water or if it's even drinkable. Just stick your finger in it and taste." Levi scolded before smacking the water out of my hands.

"Fine." I grumbled as I leant down to dip my finger in the water. I pulled it up and stuck it in my mouth. "It is salty!"

I moved to get more of the water, but Levi grabbed me before I could.

"That's enough." Levi said as he pulled me back out of the water.

We walked back to our horses and Levi suddenly grabbed me and held me close to his chest.

"I love you, Eren."

"Eren."

. . .

"Eren."

. . .

"Hey, wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes to see Levi looking down at me with slight concern in his beautiful eyes. I felt myself being held in his arms while he stroked my hair.

"What's wrong, Eren?" Levi asked softly.

"What do you mean ?" I questioned.

"You're crying." He said as he grabbed a handkerchief off of the night stand and gently dabbed the tears from my face. "Did you have a bad dream?"

"No..." I said distantly. I was still thinking about the wonderful dream I had just had. It was so strange for me to have such a pleasant and sweet dream that I couldn't help but to want to hold onto it for a bit longer. "...It was a...good...dream."

"Then why are you crying? You're acting very strange." Levi said as he removed the cloth from my face and wrapped his arms around me.

"I want it to be real." I said. I turned towards Levi and smiled. "Will you come see the ocean with me?"

"Alright." Levi kissed the side of my head. "I'll go see the ocean with you."


The next chapter will have some nice angst in it. I love fanfic drama. Anyway sorry for the wait, I am a crappy person, but I hope you liked it and please leave a comment!
